The Quebec referendum, government cutbacks, winter snowstorms ... All these events affect our lives, but we have little control over them. And all this 'stuff is brought instantly and continuously to our attention thanks to modern communication systems. News from around the world reaches us in our living rooms in seconds. Dr. Hans Selye, who pioneered the study of stress in the 1980s, believed stress levels become excessively high when a person feels they have little control in a situation. TAKE CONTROL We can't control 'world' events, but we can take control over our own lives. We can decide where we live, how we live and relate to our community, what we eat, where we work. We also can take control over our finances: having an 'emergency' fund immediately reduces our stress level; setting up a regular monthly savings program for long term goals, like buying a house or retirement, puts us in the driver's seat and in control of our future. START WITH A COMPUTER ANALYSIS When we are lost, the best thing to do is to find out where we are now. Then it is.important to get good directions to start going down the right road to get to our destination. A computer analysis will give you the information of exactly where you are. What are your assets? What are your debts? Do you have sufficient retirement savings? Are you paying too much income tax? A ROAD MAP FOR YOUR FUTURE Where is it you want to go? What are your financial goals? How will you reach your goals? A computer analysis will help you plan your road map. It can very quickly tell you how much money needs to be saved each month to have you retiring in comfort at age 65. Also, it can show you where you can save money on your income tax return! BEGIN TODAY Starting this planning process at a young age makes a whole lot of sense. Someone age 20 needs only to save $100 a month and invest those savings at 12 per cent to retire a millionaire at age 65. Waiting until age 40 means having to save $500 a month to retire a millionaire! Reduce your stress and anxiety. Get in control of your future. Start with a free computer analysis of your finances. It will be the starting point of an exciting journey. Hort.

They spoke on Irish Moss and explained about it, and also passed some around. It is a seaweed, a special kind brought in after a storm to be harvested. It is dried and shaken well to get the sand from it. It is used to thicken ice cream and makes the smooth texture. It is mostly harvested in the Maritimes and there is a big demand for it. It is colourless and odourless. Irish Moss is fed through spores. This was a very interesting topic. Maureen read about pruning fall raspberries.

They received a reward for having the most customers. He stated that fertilizer is needed for lawns and spoke on the different kinds. He advised against cutting lawns too short, or going over and over them. Grass should be left 2 3/4" and not cut too often. It keeps greener this way. Rolling lawns is better every third year. Crab grass was the worst this year and caused by extreme heat. Spray lawns for weeds in the spring and fall, May and September. Never cut a lawn in daytime when there is extreme heat, but rather in the evening. Water at 6 a.m. to noon, not in the evening.
