Wednesday, July 5, 1989 TERRACE BAY/SCHREIBER NEWS Page 13 Dear John: John Deere Answers Your Lawn and Garden Woes Dwarfed by Mowing Duties Dear John: My seven sons are either playing Grumpy, Sneezy or Sleepy when it comes to lawn care, so their mom gets the duty. They bought me a riding mower to help me whistle while I work. Any tips on proper use? Dear Mom White: No need to feel Dopey about using a riding mower if you start with a care- ful review of the operator's man- ual. Get familiar with the controls and learn how to oper- ate them smoothly. Keep pets and children away from the mowing area, and resist the temptation to make children happy by giving them rides-- you never know when a child will run up unexpectedly, asking for one more ride. When it's off to mow you go, overlap your mowing paths by about four inches to ensure a smooth, even cut. Pay attention to slopes and hills on your lawn. Mow up and down slopes on a riding mower for stability, and always try to ride in a forward direction. If you must back up, look behind you carefully before shifting into reverse. You'll have a fairy tale lawn if you use a rear bagger to collect clippings and leaves conveniently. Add gasoline outdoors only, when you're sure the engine is cool. Dear John: I began growing vegetables indoors this year, and the plants are starting to take control of my livingroom. How soon can I move them outdoors? Dear Overgrown: Outdoor planting times vary with your vegetables. In general, transplant sensitive crops (like tomatoes, pepper and eggplant) two to three weeks after the last frost date in your area. But early spring crops, including leafy green vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and lettuce, are hardy enough to withstand the cold and can be moved from your home to your garden four weeks before the last frost. Dear John: I've decided to buy a tiller. What should I keep in mind? Dear Tillerman: The answer depends on your garden size. A compact tiller is excellent for a small to average garden (about 500 square feet). It'll till a path from 12 to 24 inches wide. A very large garden could require a heavy-duty walk-behind tiller with greater horsepower and a wider tilling width. Look for reverse drive that lets you turn corners easily, back away from fences and maneuver in tight spots. Some models fea- ture dual-action tines that first cut through the soil, then lift and break it. Tines also can be added or removed to change tilling width. Youth have unique job hunting advantages By Tammy Trach Student Placement Officer Canada Employment Centre for Students It is a demanding task for a_ young person to seek employ- ment. The most important factor for a student is to maintain a posi- tive attitude. Although you do not have the experience or skills to obtain the high paying jobs you have have some unique advantages to obtain experience which will benefit you for future employment. You must always remember that you are young, eager, and energetic, which gives you an important edge. The first step to finding a job is to make up your mind that you would like to work. To earn money, pursue lifelong ambitions and gain experience are just a few reasons you may seek employment. Take a long, honest look at yourself and explore these question...Why do I want to work? What are my long range goals? What skills and talents do I have? What kinds of jobs and salaries can I reasonably expect to be offered in the local job mar- ket? After answering these ques- tions be absolutely sure about what you want to do and why. It may take a few wecks in order to find the job you are looking for. Be patient. Remember that if someone cannot give you a job it does not necessarily reflect on a shortcom- ing of yours. Do not take rejec- tion to heart, believe in yourself and keep you spirits high. If you are offered a job that is hot. rclated .to. your .career goal consider it carefully. Remember that every job is related and a job of any sort will give you financial 'rewards and also give you one of the most valuable commodities in the job market - EXPERIENCE. Experience could be the decid- ing factor that gets you the ideal job next time. Be firm in your commitment to do everything in your power to get what you want. Do not sit around hoping to get lucky.

Terry Quinney, Provincial Coordinator of Fish and Wildlife Services for the OFAH, says recent cross-examinations at the Class Environmental Assessment into Timber Management on Crown Lands have reinforced the Federation's position that many foresters lack sufficient regard for wildlife habitat. "The recent MNR directive permitting increases in the size of clearcuts is one example," 'says Quinney. "In its directive, the MNR allows clearcuts of unlimit- ed size in 40 per cent of a Forestry Management Unit, and clearcuts double the previous allowable size in the remaining 60 per cent. Clearly the wildlife habitat these forests provide is being jeopardized and the MNR is apparently sanctioning it." The OFAH proposes foresters be provided with explicit objec- tives for the type and quantity of habitat they must maintain when harvesting timber. "This method is in use in the U.S. and elsewhere in Canada and could work in Ontario to maximize the benefits we get from our wildlife and our forests," says Quinney. The OFAH has been a partici- pant in the Timber Environmental Assessment hearings in Thunder Bay since they began in May 1988. -- The largest provincial conser- vation organization in Ontario, the OFAH has over 73,000 mem- 58 Laurier Contemporary wood home, close to schools and shopping, den overlook- ing spacious vaulted entry, large backyard, external entrance to base- ment, large ground level deck; front and back, 30' living-dining area, modern kitchen, family room vaulted ceiling with library overlooking, 3 bedrooms, master bedroom, ensuite bathroom with 2 toilets, 12' closet, library access, external balcony.

"That's exactly what the OFAH is fighting for," says Quinney. "The number of board feet per acre can no longer be the overriding consideration in forestry management. Clearly, Canadians want to see our forests managed to protect and enhance wildlife." Other findings of the Environics Research study include: * more than 60 per cent of Canadians surveyed said potential environmental impacts should be the most important considcration in deciding how specific forest areas are used. Only 12 per cent felt the potential economic value of the forest should be most important. * Close to one in two (46 per cent) Canadians strongly disap- prove of clear cutting as the pri- mary method of logging in Canada, while another 25 per cent somewhat disapprove. * Most Canadians believe that how fast and successfully the for- Forest management ont OFAH est can grow back (89 per cent) and the effects on wildlife (85 per cent)_are very important consid- erations in choosing the best log- ging method. _ The purpose of the Timber Environmental Assessment hear- ings is to determine the environ- mental effects of timber harvest- ing practices and establish how Ontario's forests will be managed in the future. More than 60 per cent of the land area of Ontario is subject to the findings of these hearings. The OFAH sees the problem as the MNR defining forest man- agement as a way to provide a continuous and predictable sup- ply of wood for the timber indus- try. It does not acknowledge the maintenance of wildlife habitat as an equally important considera- tion in managing Crown forests. The OFAH position is that in managing our forests, the consid- eration given to wildlife habitat and timber valucs must be equal. It would like to see a method adopted which emphasizes the overall production of resource benefits from the land, including wood, wildlife and fish. The Timber Management Hearings are not expected to con- clude until 1990.
