Other than the Missus, my life is not generally caught up with a lot of frustration. Oh there are many minor ones here and there but they are small, short lived and easy to overlook. But, every now and then what originally appears to be simple turns out to be, well ... anything but simple!! Restoring an old woods trailer was going to be simple, replace two rotting tires with good ones and I would be all set. How easy was that going to be?? Even for Mikie ... a piece of cake!! Last fall a helpful reader provided me with three tires all mounted on rims ... the end is near!! Well the new rims wouldnt fit my old trailer hey no big deal ... just as I expected!! So I spent many hours during the winter trying to get the locking hubs off, as they were badly rusted to the split-rims. Split-rims are older types where the tire slides on the rim and then a piece is set in against the tire, hopefully locking the tire into the rim. Okay, finally now just pop these tires off?? Hours and hours of beating off rust and those danged tires wouldnt let go. Pressure from a tire jack jammed into a door frame and ... the door frame is moving but not those tires. How about using the front loader of my tractor?? The tractor went up but the tires didnt go down!! So my next strategy was to remove the rims off the trailer and take all the rims to a pro to break down the tires and then I would be home free?? My air gun couldnt budge the well rusted lug nuts!! The attempt to remove them manually with a strong arm (a long bar ... not my biceps) didnt work as the trailer was too light and the wheel would just rock back and forth. Undeterred, I simply removed the whole wheel and brake hub assembly. Yes ... now off to a pro and the final easy steps. About 20 minutes of wrestling with a pro and one old tire surrendered and came off the rim. Yahoo!!!! A few minutes examination and the pro suggested that the rim was badly rusted, installing split rim tires is very hazardous and been responsible for more than one death. After 10 months of off and on work, and I realized that this project was still far from over. The famous Red Green would say, If the women dont find you handsome, they should at least find you handy. The unfamous Mikie would say, Persistence can even overcome stupidity. This trailer will ride again, somehow, someday!! To be continued!! 800

New Brunswick Day offers a splendid opportunity to show this pride in our province. This provincial holiday on the first Monday of August is not just a day for family, its a day to celebrate our beautiful province and being New Brunswickers.

Michael Pearson will be among those taking part in the official ceremony, which will be held inside the qplex at 11:00am. Also during the ceremony, local talent will be showcased, prizes will be awarded to the students who have won the provinces writing and drawing contests, and the communitys unsung heroes will receive their NB Day Merit Awards. Throughout the day, there will also be giant inflatables and carnival games, light-armoured vehicle rides, helicopter rides, a car show, swimming at the pool, a David Goss walk-thru history tour, a barbecue and live musical entertainment. This is a terrific opportunity to showcase our town and our new qplex, said Coun. Gary Clark, chair of the local organizing committee.

There are many different types of mulch available to gardeners today serving several purposes. The increased popularity of these materials stemmed mainly from the attractive notion that many in the landscaping and garden supply businesses put great store in; that of rendering the whole aspect of gardening an easy, one stop method of having a garden without the need of maintaining it. The theory being that once a four inch layer of mulch is placed around all plantings the weeds will never again surface and one can practically live in the lawn chair, stirring only for personal sustenance and touring admiring neighbours around an immaculate property. Suffice to say nothing is or should be that easy! The major, and possibly only activity that any mulch engages in is that of decomposition, taking the nutrients of the soil away from the surrounding plant life in order to do so, thus jeopardizing their growth. If the desire to use mulch as a weed deterrent is the choice you make, then be sure to leave a six inch border of open soil around each planting and cover that ground with a rich layer of good compost mixed with well composted manure. That small area will need hand weeding, a satisfying job that also brings one into close contact with the plants and gives the opportunity to deal with unwanted slugs etc., before they become a monster problem. Mulches generally offer snug homes to many undesirables and need to be regularly monitored. The chief advantage of mulch is that, when applied on wet ground it will keep that moisture in the soil, which when gardening on a well drained area or during drought conditions, is a blessing. The Cedar mulch is also great for pathways as it is much slower than other types to decompose. Gardening without the use of mulch has several benefits, with open soil a surprising number of volunteer plants will arrive in the plot, dropped by passing birds, small animals or the balmy breezes of summer; these gifts really are a joy to the gardener who is willing to spend a good bit of time enjoying close contact with the soil and its bounty. A well weeded garden without mulch also provides the best environment for clumps of perennials to expand, thus allowing future divisions to share with friends or to donate to next years Communities in Bloom plant sale. Aim not for perfection, enjoy the journey. No occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth and no culture comparable to that of the garden..... Thomas Jefferson. 805 The St. James the Less ACW meets for quilting every Thursday from 1:00-4:00pm. For more information contact 847-3268. 211

As part of its community service it offers 4 x $1000 bursaries to graduates from these areas attending Hampton High School, Kennebecasis Valley High School, and Rothesay High School. This year we selected Hampton High School graduate, Susie Driscoll to receive one of our $1000 bursaries.

a LIttLE KnoWLEDGE . . .

I am sure you have heard the saying A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Well, let me tell you . . . I am on the Board of Directors of a local early childhood/parenting organization here in Hampton, the Hampton Alliance for Lifelong Learning. As part of that, I recently undertook to review and update the website. After tracking down the login information I reviewed the content to determine what needed to be updated and did the changes in the software tool. The next step is to publish, which will actually update the website. Hmmm . . . it did a preview of the site, but there is an error message and I am unable to get the site to update. Grrr. The next day I am at the office and think I may have the answer, so I log in to try it. Except . . . the IT Manager (that would be Mikie) has the security settings such that I cannot access it at all. Seems he doesnt want people (especially me!) playing around on Ossekeag equipment. So I have to wait until I am home. That evening, back to the site I go, but my brainwave turns out to be a dud and I still cannot get the new information uploaded to the site. Sigh . . . later in the evening, Mike was on the desktop computer so I fired up the laptop to give it another try. Wow! Suddenly I am faced with a whole selection of buttons and options and bells and whistles of all kinds I never saw when logged in through the desktop computer! This is too cool. Wonder what this does. Ooh, and I can do this. These graphics are amazing. I start playing around in there, having a great time. Redesign the header, add some graphics, upload the logo . . . wonder how this would look? Lets see. Hit Publish, just like I did previously when on the desktop computer. Hooray, it looks like it is going to work. Except . . . why am I not getting a preview like I did previously? Oh, no! Cancel! Cancel! Cancel! Too late. It published. A lovely newly designed header . . . no content. None. Nada. Not a word. This is definitely not good. Quickly go back into the tool and put a Under construction message on the site and go for my evening walk (need to do something to lower the blood pressure after that bit of drama). When I return I successfully track down all of the previous content, update the information, publish to the site and by the next day everything is back in operation - but with the new header and graphics. Whew! What did I learn. Not a darn thing. Computers and software programs just beg to be explored, and if dont we will never get any better. Oh, and the origin of the quote? A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. So is a lot. Albert Einstein. 801
