SPRING UPDATE
Well, lets see what is going on!! I have a couple of loads of wood
that I cut over the winter, while doing some thinning, that is now
all cut and split. I have also been out this spring doing a bit more
thinning and patch cutting. I am going to take it easy though
until we get a woodlot management plan in place, because that
will help set the priorities in terms of what should be done frst.
For those individuals who own woodlots and want to take
some proactive measures to improve the quality and quantity of
wood that is growing, there are remarkably inexpensive services
available by joining a local wood co-op. For those who just want
to sit on their property and let mother nature do her thing,
that is fne also, just consider protecting the property through
land trusts or easements that will stop future owners from clear
cutting what has taken many, many years to develop.
Tanks to the dry spells we have had this spring, I have gotten
out to do some more work on my woods road. Unfortunately,
afer just one heavy rain it takes about a week for it to dry out
and useable again. My biggest hope, is that before winter, I will
have all of the ditching done so that it should only take a fairly
short time to dry out and be usable afer a heavy downpour.
Back in the woods, we are scouting along the roadside for
desirable small trees such as spruce, pine and some cedar, and
replanting them in areas that are exclusively fr and/or birch.
In just a hundred or so short years, the forest makeup of trees
should be signifcantly better.
Every time I walk by my dead hemlock remains, I wonder if
there is such a thing as Tree CPR. If there is, I suspect that the
time for which it might work is long past. Oh Sigh!!
Outside of the woods, we are doing a bit more landscaping
and planting, but nothing major so far. Te grand-grand kids are
both very cute and lovable, the missus is still annoying and Te
Jet seems to be following in her foot steps. (Maybe more later.)
On the lighter side:
1. Light travels faster than sound. Tis is why some people
appear bright until you hear them speak
2. He who laughs last, thinks the slowest.
3. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
4. Tose who live by the sword get shot by those who dont.
5. Nothing is foolproof to a sufciently talented fool. 800

WE NOW SELL SOD!
MUlcH TIME AGAIN
Mulch sales abound at this time of year and along with them
the hints from most garden centers and landscape bods that
the product will render your garden instantly weed free and
practically work free. Be not fooled!
Quite frankly, working in my garden gives me great joy and a
freshly weeded bed provides a lot more satisfaction than a newly
scrubbed kitchen foor ever could! Certainly the mulch has a
killing efect when laid at about a three inch depth however its
prudent to bear in mind that what can kill the undesirables can
also wipe out the treasures. If your lifestyle dictates the use of
mulch, care needs to be taken with the application; a space of at
least six inches around the plant or bush, should be lef where
compost mixed with some well rotted manure can be applied,
this insures that theres enough nourishment for the plant to
survive since the mulch will take a lot of nutrients from the
soil as it decomposes. Mulch should always be applied afer a
soaking rain in order to trap the moisture in the soil. I use heavy
mulch on pathways and actually recycle the large plastic bags
on the surface covered with layers of newspapers and topped
of with the mulch. Sadly this method is not suitable elsewhere
in the garden. With advancing years the plastic bagged type is
infnitely more manageable than the great truck loads that I have
used in the past
By not using mulch on the fower beds there is better opportunity
for plants to expand and a greater likelihood of those wonderful
volunteer plants, blown in by the wind or dropped from the
heavens by passing aviators; they are always great fun and
ofen provide treasures that could wreck the budget at the local
nurseries.
Tis is a great time of year to clean out ponds and care needs to
be taken to preserve the wild life in them; a collection of water
snails is a valuable asset to keeping things ship shape, so its best
to lif the leaves with a small plastic rake and sit them down on
the surround of the pond, giving suitable time for the livestock
to return. Every pond gets overgrown with time and the plant
life needs to be reduced to a point where at least 1/3 of the pond
is open water. I have just completed that task in a very small
pond and was rewarded with the sight of a pair of mallard ducks
taking stock of the accommodations!
So much good stuf in life is free and it seems to me that the
major benefts of hands on gardening are the pure joy of hearing
the birds sing and watching plant life come into bloom. Celebrate
the good stuf! 805

WHy RElAy IS ovERNIGHT?
Cancer does not stop for nighttime.
Relay For Life starts at dusk and ends
at the next days morning. Te light
and darkness of the day and night
parallel the physical efects, emotions,
and mental state of a cancer patient
while undergoing treatment.
Te Relay begins when the sun is setting. Tis symbolizes the
time that the person has been diagnosed as having cancer. Te
day is getting darker and this represents the cancer patients state
of mind as they feel that their life is coming to an end.
As the evening goes on it gets colder and darker, just as the
emotions of the cancer patient do. Around 1:00 to 2:00am
represents the time when the cancer patients start treatments.
Tey become exhausted, some sick, not wanting to go on,
possibly wanting to give up. As a participant, you have been
walking and feel much the same way. You are tired, want to
sleep, maybe even want to go home, but you cannot. You cannot
stop or give up, just as the cancer patient cannot stop or give up.
Around 4:00 to 5:00am symbolizes the coming of the end of
treatment for the cancer patient. Once again they are tired, but
they know they will make it.
Te sun rising represents the end of treatment for the cancer
patient. Tey see the light and know that life will go on. Te
morning light brings on a new day full of life and excitement for
new beginnings for the cancer patient. As a participant, you will
feel the brightness of the morning and know that the end of the
Relay is close at hand.
When you leave the Relay, think of the cancer patient leaving
their last treatment. Just as you are exhausted and weak, so is
that person afer treatment. But there is hope in the new day! Te
money raised at Relay will support patient services, lifesaving
research, prevention education, and advocacy eforts and that
is why we Relay!
Remember: Tere is no fnish line until we fnd a cure.

E NEWS
We recently sent out our very frst e-newsletter. Tis is something
we have talked about for some time and although the frst issue
was quite time consuming the response has been positive, with
several of our customers even taking the time to email us to tell
us so. It is our hope that our advertising customers will fnd it a
useful resource full of all kinds of tips and information, much as
we hope these community magazines provide our readers with
a whole community of interesting and useful news and events.
I sometimes think of just 12 years ago when Mike and I frst
began Ossekeag Publishing. We took on an ofce with just three
computers, two for creating the publications and one which was
hooked up the internet. Most of our editorial came in as hard
copy and had to be typed. Ad copy was a hand drawn sketch or
occasionally (from companies with a national presence) an ad
mat that could be scanned. Very little came to us via email.
My six year old grand-daughter is always fascinated by how
little connection to the bigger world Nana and Grumpy had as
kids. I was her age when our family got our frst television, with
all of one channel and a GREAT test pattern for large parts of
the 24-hour day. Interestingly, though, yesterday we watched
some of those same cartoons that I saw as a kid . . . thanks to
YouTube. Tom & Jerry and Sylvester & Tweety were both big
hits. She laughed . . . and then went back a bit to rewatch the
funniest section again. Not only was that impossible when I
saw them, I also watched them in black and white, a concept
completely foreign to her. She is amazed that there was no Dora,
no Treehouse and no Barbie.
Progress has lots of good in it, but not all change is positive. Te
test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance
of those who have much it is whether we provide enough for those
who have little. ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt. 801
