Stanley Recreation Committee volunteers were serving up hot dogs for participants in Sun-
day's Canoe Rally at the third concession starting point. From left are Jack Dunn, Elaine
Dunn, and Sandra Turner. Behind is Bruce Horton.
Total Chaos was not only the name of this raft entered in the canoe rally, but some thought it
described its demeanor as well. Here the crew from Clinton actually pass the amphibious ve-
hicle with Rob Armstrong in it that is supposed to be towing them down the river.

WHY AERATE YOUR LAWN?
Aeration is beneficial for your lawn in a number of ways? Aeration will
overcome a compacted soil. Compacted soils make it difficult for roots to
grow, limiting the movement of air, moisture and fertilizer through the
soil. It can also reduce your water requirements by relieving soil com-
paction. Water penetration is increased and water run-off is reduced.
If your lawn has a thick layer of thatch, aeration will push through that
layer and improve air, water and nutrient penetration. This will enhance
the development of a deep root system. A deeply rooted lawn will be
healthier and better able to withstand drought, disease and insect
stress.
This process should be considered spring and fall.
