LAWN CARE My lawn care diatribe in last weeksa column provoked quit. a few commenta, mostly about alternatives ta using pesticides. Coincidonta]ly, I found out about a group, Scugoges Green Team, who visit neighbours tatoll thom about alternatives to pesthy give the facts. For instance, oven though chemical sprays are govermoent approvod, it doesn't mesu they are sale; al it means is they do, their job. Environmont Canada says 'osticides'are poisons, othorwie they wouldn't work." They mako the point that between 60 sud 90 per cent 0f anypesicie pray goes inta the. surndg air sud inta tii. water table. Aller -al, notbing truly disappears Even though we can't seo them or emeil them, it dosn't mean they aren't there. Thley also bhand out a brochure fromi the American Cancer Society that issues the followmng warnng. 'Most pesticides- are associated with some risk to human health or the environmient. e The US. Environmental Protection Agency neyer tested pesticides for thefr impact on human health and are now looking at taking a number of them off the market. The Green Team thon provides information on alternatives that will also provide a healthy, pestide-fres .lawn - mow higb; leave cli on lawn; wate lawnsear in the ýmornini for h.mt,7di:Lwash soap ý e with water sprayed ini warm weather will treat taost problems; pull weeds (try a dandolion Party); another weed solution is to top-dress Up to, the end of August and oiverseed; aerate lawns that are thin and weed prone and then top-dres and overseed.

Health experts are now increasing their recom- mendations for calcium intake ...to reduce the number of fractures from osteoporosis. This is important because the cost of treating broken bones is s0 high and the cost of preventing them with calcium is cheap. Everyone is encouraged to get extra calcium, flot just high risk groups such as post- menopausal women. Children and young adults need lots of calcium ta build strong. bones and older men and women need calcium to slow bone loss. It is very hard to get - suifficient calcium fromn food and calcium supplements may be necessary. Consult your pharmacist.

They have closed the two (2) Northbound lanes and are using the two (2) Southbound lanes as a two-way traffic thoroughfare.
