clerk while school is not insession, but shed rather bein the classroom.

Julia Kadi, anotherGrade 12 student atSutherland, said the strikeis creating extra stress forstudents in their nal year.

For some of theuniversities Im wantingto apply to, the deadlinescould be Oct. 15, she said.Theres rumours saying wemight not be back to schooluntil October.

A short distance away,Peter Schultz, a high schoolphysics teacher, stoodon a picket line outsideSutherland. Schultz saidhes also concerned aboutthe strikes impact onstudents. We all take theirGrade 12 year very, veryseriously, he said.

But Schultz said theissues in the dispute standto impact many otherstudents in the future.

Louise Legris, SimonFraser Universitysadmissions director, saidB.C. universities are waitingto see how long the strikecontinues before changingtheir usual admissionsprocedures but will makesure students arent put at adisadvantage by the strike.Were not going to penalizestudents for something thatis beyond their control, shesaid.

Andrew Arida, associateregistrar for undergraduatesat the University of BritishColumbia, had a similarmessage, adding mostadmissions are based ongrades that are available inMarch.

Also on Mondaymorning, a group of about

35 Argyle students crossedpicket lines to stage awalk in at their school,before marching to NorthVancouver-Seymour MLAJaneThornthwaites ofce.

BridgetTrerise, oneof the students who metwithThornthwaite, saidafterwards the meetingdidnt give her much hopethe dispute will end soon.

Obviously thegovernment has more powerand they have more money.Theyre not really losing alot in this dispute shesaid. Im not sure what the

governments motivation isto get this deal done.

Trerise said when she putthat question to her MLA,I didnt really get a goodanswer.

Thornthwaite saidlater she told students shewould relay their concernsto her cabinet and caucuscolleagues, as she does forall her constituents.

Thornthwaite said itwould be difcult for her tohave any direct impact onthe dispute. Im not theone whos at the bargainingtable, she said.

Thornthwaite said sheshad a number of visits fromindividuals and groupsconcerned about the strike.Recently her twice monthlyJoin Jane coffee meetingswith constituents have beenvery much taken over bythis issue, she said.

Thornthwaite said not allof the meetings have beencalm. Its very difcultwhen you have peopleyelling at you.Theres a mobmentality.

Thornthwaite said shescalled the police on morethan one occasion because

of threats shes received.The teachers union

was set to hold a voteWednesday, asking theirmembers if they wouldreturn to the classroom ifthe government agreed tobinding arbitration.Thatvote, however, was seen aslargely symbolic after theEducation Minister PeterFassbender rejected thatoption.

Arbitration is notsomething this governmentis going to consider, hesaid. That is not in thecards.

Looking to spur the growthof childcare spaces, City ofNorthVancouver councilis moving to cut some ofthe red tape home-baseddaycare businesses face.

Under the rules today,applicants seeking to opena childcare business thatserves nine or more childrenmust provide a trafc plan,inform and get feedbackfrom every neighbour within100 metres of the proposedfacility and attend a publicmeeting before council voteson the matter.

Under the new

enhanced regulations,prospective daycareoperators will only have tonotify neighbours within40 metres and there isno requirement to solicitfeedback.The trafc planrequirement will remain.

I can tell you thatnding quality, affordabledaycare is a challenge for anymunicipality, especially herein the city where we havea higher concentration ofyounger people and we needto do as much as we can toencourage group daycaresin the city and make themas accessible as possiblefor everyone, said MayorDarrell Mussatto before

throwing his support behindthe changes.

Today, there are only sixsuch businesses in the city far too few accordingto Coun. Craig Keating.When . . . weve only gotsix, according to staff, ourchallenge is not to ndnew ways to regulate. Ourchallenge is to nd ways toencourage, he said.

While some may be irkedby crying children in single-family neighbourhoods, itis far worse to have thoseneighbourhoods absent ofchildren entirely, Keatingadded.

Daycare clients, underthe proposed changes, wouldalso be informed of the citysgood neighbour policy andbylaw staff would keep aneye on the business to make

sure city regulations areobeyed.

Other than one daycareon Fourth Street that netteda series of complaints fromneighbours, the city has onrecord only two complaintsregistered against the othergroup daycare facilities, onein 1989 that was resolvedand another one in 1992which was found to bewithout merit.

No other home-basedbusiness requires such astringent approval processto operate in the city, Coun.Linda Buchanan noted.

Daycares must still belicensed and inspected byVancouver Coastal Healthbefore they can apply to thecity for a business licence.Council can remove abusiness licence at its own

discretion should there benumerous complaints.

Though there was nodisagreement that morechildcare spaces are neededin the city, the proposedchanges went a little toofar for some on council bycutting out neighbourhoodfeedback to council before abusinesss licence is granted.

Theres the rub as faras Im concerned, saidCoun. Rod Clark. Theresthe information that Ineed to know: whetherthe neighbours in closeproximity to a proposeddaycare are indeed in favour,or against or neutral so Icant live with this proposedlegislation with thatrequirement not there.

Clark found support inCoun. Pam Bookham.

We cant assume thenieghbouring houses aregoing to be empty duringthe bulk of the time whenthe daycare is busiest, shesaid, noting a childcare busi-ness could be disruptive forseniors, people doing shiftwork and people who are athome ill or disabled. A day-care can have a signicantimpact on the immediateneighbours and I think thereshould be an opportunity forcouncil to be made aware ofthose interests that have tobe balanced.

Coun.Guy Heywoodjoined Clark and Bookhamin voting against the motion.

The public is invited tocomment on the proposedchanges at a public meetingbefore council votes onmaking the changes nal.

he stood by councils priorresolution.

You can minimize therisk but you cant remove allthe risk, he said.

Proponents of the$1.6-billionWoodbreLNG project began theirpresentation by ceding theoor to Squamish residentBrad Hodge, who discussedthe citys bleak economy.

Hodge illustrated hispoint with a story about twominimum-wage earningparents getting into a heatedargument about money aftertheir child requested a fruitcup.

Ive had a front-row seatto this for years. Ive seenmany businesses close, moveor sell out, he said.

Woodbre LNG willprovide 100 high-payingjobs and millions in taxes,according to Hodge, whopreviously noted the annualtax increases faced bySquamish residents.

Yes, there are risks,but those risks can becontrolled, he said. Theindustry has an excellentsafety record.

In emphasizing thatsafety record,Woodbreproject director Alex Brigdendescribed how tugboatswould escort slow-movingdoubled-hulled LNGtankers through HoweSound.

While stipulating thatBC Ferries would be bettersuited to answer a questionabout navigational concerns,Brigden said there dontseem to be concerns abouttankers moving in close

Chalk one up for losersand weepers in theireternal battle againstnders and keepers.

An altruistic City ofNorthVancouver employeefound a large wad of cashSept. 2 and promptlyturned it over to police.

The amount of cashis signicant enoughthat someone is verylikely missing it, saidNorthVancouver RCMPspokesman Cpl. RichardDe Jong.

In order to ward offfalse claims, the policearent giving out detailsabout how much wasfound or where the ethicalemployee found it.

Large amounts ofmoney have been knownto go missing duringillicit deals but theres noreason to suspect anythinguntoward in this case,according to De Jong.

Were assumingsomeone accidentally lostit. Until proven differently,its still legal tender.

Anyone who can sayhow much money was lostand where they lost it isasked to call the RCMP at604-985-1311.

proximity to the ferries.There is a precedent for

similar operations in B.C.,according to Brigden, whopointed to Fortis-operatedplants onTilbury Island inDelta andMount Hayes onVancouver Island, both ofwhich liquefy gas, albeit on asmaller scale thanWoodbreLNG.

Couns. Bill Soprovichand Nora Gambioli eachnoted the waste that used toleach from Britannia Mineand the damage it caused toHowe Sound.When it comesto a potentially dirty industryaround Howe Sound: Wedont trust you or anybody,Soprovich told theWoodbreLNG representatives.

Twenty years of cleanupat the mine site will costB.C. taxpayers $200 million,according to Gambioli. Itwill continue for 100 years,she added.

Both the provincial and

federal governments need tolet go of their Neanderthaleconomy visions, accordingto Gambioli, who notedthat B.C.s tourism sectorgenerates ve times morejobs than the provincial oiland gas industry.

We need to invest intourism and in renewableenergy sources which wouldcreate far more jobs and abetter future for our kids, notto mention the planet.Thatshould be the plan for HoweSound, she said.

Soprovich questionedBrigden about allegations ofcorruption lobbied againstthe companys owner,Indonesian billionaireSukantoTanoto. As far asI know, that is not true,responded Brigden.

Coun.Mary-Anne Boothasked several questionsabout a process that willpump 17,000 cubic metresof heated and chlorinatedseawater back into HoweSound every hour. I put

chlorine in my swimmingpool to kill everything, shenoted.

Concerns about chlorineare likely unfounded,according to Brigden, whosaid the amount used is lessthan what can be found indrinking water.

Coun.Michael Lewis didnot attend the meeting.

Orient expressFor a woman who campaignedhard (twice) for a seat in the B.C.Legislature, Premier Christy Clarksure doesnt seem to like the place verymuch.With only 24 days scheduled for

MLAs to sit in their hard-earnedVictoria seats for the rest of this year,Clark has scheduled herself a trademission to India for 10 of them.Her sixth India trip since becoming

premier, shes scheduled to arrive inNew Delhi just two days after the startof the fall session.MLAs will tell you theyre hard at

work when theyre not inVictoria anda quick look at their social media feedswill conrm there are a lot of barbecuesand wine tastings to get through.Theresnot a single MLA who campaigned torepresent us on the barbecue circuit.Each and every one of them was elected

to represent us in the legislature, andthey already spend far too little timethere.Now, we dont fault the premier for

trying to advance our business interestsabroad and maybe while shes thereshe can get some pointers on why theirmiddle class is rising as ours is shrinkingaway.But we have to ask why the trade trip

couldnt have been scheduled for any ofthe 294 days this year that the legislaturewas reduced to a tourist attraction?A cynic might suggest its the best

way to avoid scrutiny and needling fromthe opposition while theres an ongoingcrisis in public education. Or it couldbe that some of her old friends andsupporters are now up on charges underthe Elections Act.Whatever the case, wed much rather

she be front and centre.

Water meters make senseDear Editor:

The other night Ihappened across a MetroVancouver page about ourwater ltration system. Iwas pleased to learn thatmy tap water is cleanerthan Evian water.

Starting with waterfrom three of the cleanestreservoirs on the planet,we lter out turbidity,run the water through anew twin-tunnel systemto an ozone/UV primarydisinfection plant, andadd trace amounts ofchlorine and calcium forsecondary treatment andstabilization.

They made it soundso fresh and tasty thatthe other afternoon, itbeing such a warm day,I briey considereddrinking some as I hosedgallon after gallon of this

invaluable resource intomy wheelbarrow to mix upbatches of concrete.

Although I know mydaughters generation willjudge me harshly for mywastefulness, rest assuredthat like most North Shoreresidents, I wont changemy habits until Im givenan incentive and an easyway to do it.

Having shownleadership in this area inthe past, I am hoping thatour municipal councilwill consider the adoptionof the following policiesthat should motivate andempower residents tomake changes to theirwater usage.

Step 1: Require alldevelopers to install watermeters and to run twowater lines into all newconstruction to enable

the future delivery ofminimally treated water.At the current rate ofredevelopment, this shouldcause the majority ofdwellings to be meteredand to have two waterservice lines in the nextve to 10 years.

Step 2 : Once a criticalmass of residences aremetered and duallyserviced and as existingmain service lines needreplacing, run two watermain lines into MetroVancouvers system.

Step 3: Shift propertytax from being based onassessed property value tobeing based on householdwater use.

Water meters haveenabled reductionsin water wastagein neighbouringmunicipalities (for

example, a 25 percent reduction inWestVancouver) and if we usesmart-meter technology,we can provide futureopportunities to use time-of-use costing, which willencourage us to watergardens at optimal timeswithout the need for bylawvisits.

I hope all North Shoreresidents will join me ingiving their municipalitiesthe mandate to carryout this plan by writingletters, speaking out atcouncil meetings andmaking voting decisions inthe upcoming municipalelection based oncouncillors support of theconcept.GordonTrousdellNorthVancouver Districtresident and perennialwater waster

Dear Editor:I have been using public

transit for 20 years now. AsI sit on the bus commutingto work every day, I noticethat most drivers in theircars are commuting alone.Improved transit wouldremedy this, Im sure.

I would like to say thatI agree with letter writerCalvin Smythes sentimentsabout how the North Shoreis omitted when it comesto major improvementsin transit (Transit PlansIgnore North Shore, Sept.7).

The North Shore Newspublished an article in theAug. 24 edition about themuch-needed upgradeproposed for PhibbsExchange.

While I agree that anupgrade would be nice,

I would much rather seesome sort of rapid transitthat crosses the NorthShore, as opposed to somegood looking green spaceat Phibbs Exchange.

When Im at Phibbs,all I want to do is connectwith my next bus . . . notenjoy the scenery there.(Though I will admit that apublic washroom would beappreciated.)

Last summer, thecongestion between(Ironworkers) SecondNarrows bridge andCentral Lonsdale wasappalling. It wouldroutinely take me an hourto commute between thesetwo locations.

Something has tochange.Gaye BeyleveldtNorthVancouver

Children deserve unwavering supportDear Editor:

Open letter to PremierChristy Clark:

The reasons teachers areasking for more specializedteachers, counsellors andeducational assistants tosupport the students in theirclassrooms are specic andclear.

When teachers arerequired to act as translatorfor the English languagelearners, mediator for thestudents whose playgroundantics resulted in a blowoutat the door, scriber forthe student whose writtenoutput skills dont matchthe comprehension of thetopic, counsellor for thestudent with social anxiety,refocusing agent for thestudent who wanders theclassroom to avoid thelesson, organizer for the

student who cant locatespecic supplies, nurturer forthe student who just movedto a new school, invigilatorfor the students who usetheir personal devices toconspicuously check theirsocial media status, andtechnical expert to managethe audio enhancementsystem and projectiondevices in the classroom,it becomes a challenge toteach,monitor and assess theacademic progress of each oftheir 30 students.

Teachers are takingon a greater role with ourmost vulnerable children,and by extension theirfamilies. Children deservesupport when they need it,whether they are waiting fora designation, dealing withthe many issues that are notcurrently funded, or simply

waiting for the attention of ateacher who is too busy withthe more needy students inthe classroom.No longer thesage on the stage or evenguide on the side, teachersare required to scaffoldand create separate lessons,model and implementself- regulation strategies,observe (and ultimatelytable) concerns with anincreasingly complex set ofclients, while juggling thedemands of a rigorous andevolving curriculum.Whenteachers dont succeed withthis delicate balancing act,neither can their students.

Teachers are askingfor increased fundingfor specialized teachers,counsellors and educationalassistants to help monitorand assess the diverseneeds of our students

who exhibit a varietyof disorders (cognitive,behavioural, written output,processing, mental health,autism spectrum), giftedintelligence, language delay

and social-emotional issues,so they can focus on theeveryday needs of theirstudents and the curricularcomponents of teaching.I implore you to increase

funding to these areas thataffect student success andthe classroom environmenton a daily basis.Doni GrattonWestVancouver teacher

Beach closures warrant answersDear Editor:

Re.WestVancouverToo Complacent on BeachClosures,Aug. 27.

Lorne Clarkes letterexpresses the growingfrustration and anger ofmanyWestVancouverresidents regarding thesky-high E. coli count inour beloved beaches thissummer. I know that manyof us have taken individualaction, including contactingour MP JohnWeston,Vancouver Coastal Healthand our mayor and council.

We all know the E. colispiked after July 17 and that

if all nearby sewage plantshave in fact been tested forleaks, the cause is mostlikely a dump from a ship. Iwas told as much from theVancouver Coastal Healthofcer I spoke to about this.

How hard can it be toidentify exactly which shipswere in the area at that time,and to investigate each ofthem for a possible dump accidental or otherwise?And to publicize theoutcome?

So far, we appear tohave another classic case ofpassing the buck.VancouverCoastal Health tell me they

can only monitor and notinvestigate.The municipalitysays it is not their jurisdictionas it happened in the sea. Ifthe dump happened withincity waters, Vancouver PortAuthority is responsible;if outside that, TransportCanada is in charge.

Since individual actionis not enough, I proposea more unied citizenresponse. I would love tohear from anyone willingto get involved. Find methrough LinkedIn. Its timeto demand some answers.Elaine GrotefeldWestVancouver

10ways to decorate a dormIts that time of year againfor the older students tohead off to university.

Some have departed butthere are still a few waitingto begin a little later. Ifyour student has movedinto his or her dorm or isin the process, you may besearching for a few dorm-decorating ideas to spruceup the usual drab space theywill dwell in for the nexteight months.

Here are 10 of myfavorite ideas that I have seenthat can be planned aheadand executed in a relativelyeasy fashion.You shouldhave no problem purchasingthe items in other countriesif your student is studyingabroad.1. Rearrange the space.Once you step into thedorm room, think about thedifferent ways you are ableto rearrange the furniture.Often the room is cleanedand left in a haphazard state.Beds and desks can usuallybe moved in and around thespace as long as the doorwayis not blocked.2.Think vertical. In mostcases these rooms are verysmall. In order to maximizethe space for efcientmovement in and aroundit may be a good idea topurchase some wall shelvingor vertical stacking units thatcan be placed on the desk fororganizing.3.Dont over purchase.This is one of the rstmistakes most studentsand parents make whenplanning to decorate a dorm

room. Its important to justarrive with the basics andthen settle in the room a bitbefore purchasing all thelittle items you may thinkyou need.4. Bed risers.These arecritical if your dorm bed isonly inches from the oor.These risers are placedunder the bed legs to raisethe bed high enough forstorage bins to be placedunderneath.Many storescarry these but Bed Bath &Beyond carries good onesfor $20.5. Establish a colourtheme.Many kids like togo bold with colour becausethe walls in their dorm roomare usually white or beige.Alternatively, an all whiteor cream theme is nice for agirls room.Combine bothwhite and beige accessoriesto give the room a sereneand calm feel.6. Purchase a rug. Imnot saying an expensive onebut one that will warm upthe oors on a cold, wetday. Dorm room oorsare usually cold and bare

and theres something niceabout getting out of bed andputting your feet on a nicerug. Look for inexpensiveones at Ikea and otherdepartment stores like HomeDepot. Usually a three-by-ve or four-by-six foot isperfect.7.Decorate the barewalls.Photos of yoursummer holidays, wall decalsand posters are all great waysto add colour and interest tothe dorm walls. One greatidea is to have your favoritesummer photos transferredto canvas.A collage of fouror ve grouped together is anice way to decorate a barewall.8. Ease homesickness.

Ive always liked the ideaof photos of family andfriends decorating a smallspace on the desk.This isa great way to ward off anyhomesickness that may popup and put a smile on a tiredand worn-out student.9. Poufs.No, not thepowder pouf kind, butthe soft, round, pillow-like furniture pieces thatcan double as a side tablebeside the bed as well asa footstool or coffee table.These lightweight, versatilelittle pieces are wonderful indorm rooms for visitors tosit on and just to add a littlecolour to the room.10. Foliage. Lastly, if theuniversity or college will

permit it, a nice plant isalways appreciated. Plantsand owers have a wonderfulway of adding life to a smallroom and making the spacefeel warm and a little likehome.

But check with the dormrules before going out andpurchasing an expensiveplant. Succulents are a goodchoice for their ability tohold water for long periodsof time.Watering a plant isntalways on the students toppriority list.

From The RobinsAutumn Dance

By Harold Cass CravenPoems on Birds and Nature

Poet, naturalist, andfriend Harold Cravencaptured the spirit ofthe season nicely in hisRobins Autumn.

The days are gettingshorter as autumnswinds signal change. Birdmigration is one of theessential themes of latesummer/early autumn,governed by length of day,according to Stephen Kressin Bird Life:A Guide tothe Biology and Behaviourof Birds. Some birds, likethe song sparrow, spottedtowhee and chickadeesare residents and dontmigrate. Others, like theblack-headed grosbeak,western tanager and

ycatchers are neo-tropicalmigrants and here only forthe summer.

Birders are alwayswatchful for falloutwhen migrating birdscollect in an area likeThe Conservation Area atMaplewood Flats (whichgets some wonderfulfallouts). Poor weatherconditions keep the birdsdown, but when conditionsimprove, theyre on theirway. Such fallout eventsinclude mixed speciesfrom various habitats.TheTownsends warbler,

for example, breeds inconiferous woods buton migration it is seenmixed with other speciesin mixed or deciduouswoods (alder). BesidesTownsends, watch forWilsons, black-throatedgray, MacGillivrays,orange-crowned warblers,ycatchers, warblingvireos and the westerntanager. And rarities likethe Nashville warblerare always possible.With rarities, it is alwaysimportant to documentproperly what was seenwith good clear photos,descriptions, etc. Its thebest way.

Many birds migrateat night. Kress, anornithologist, notes, nightmigration is the rule formost small, insect-eatingbirds, such as warblers,vireos, ycatchers andthrushes.The Lincolnssparrow, for example, maybe more common than

records indicate (it is whybird banders get up at 3a.m.!)

Shorebirds (waders)are a big part of local birdmigration.The sanderlingand western sandpiperare two examples ofsandpipers that breed inthe high north, movingthrough southwesternB.C. on their passage toSouth America.Watchalso for least, western,pectoral, semi-palmatedand solitary sandpipers.Small sandpipers areknown as peeps. Largerwaders include lesserand greater yellowlegs,dowitchers, and rarelymarbled godwit, long-billed curlew and whimbrel(uncommon on the NorthShore). A few waders,like dunlin, sanderling,greater yellowlegs, and thelong-billed dowitchers,winter locally. Identifyingshorebirds can be achallenge. A good scope,eld guide (or app)together with the right tideare essential (see your localwild bird store for bestadvice on these matters).

A good place to watch forshorebirds at MaplewoodFlats is the viewing deck atthe mouth of McCartneyCreek. Its also a great spotto view waterfowl and gulls.Gull watching is always anenjoyable way to spend anafternoon.

Shorebirds are followedby raptors, like theperegrine falcon, that huntthem watch for it.

Watch for vulturessoaring on thermals, purplemartins, and merlinssnapping up dragonies,

and swallows gatheringup in ocks all signs ofchange.Watch for Annashummingbirds now thatRufous are headed back toMexican winter grounds

Our purple martins willleave on a journey to partssouth all the way toSouth America. Our heartsgo with them.

Fall asters andgoldenrods attract cutelittle buttery-like insectscalled skippers, andfruit-eaters dine on tastyblackberries, crisp morning

dew-spangled spider webs,mushrooms and more.Theyre all a wonderfulparty of autumn on theNorth Shore.

Get your garden ready for the fallAs we slide into latesummer the gardencontinues to impress andinspire.

This summers warmweather has been hardon some plants but agreat growth booster forothers.My hardy fuchsia isowering more profuselythan ever and Clematistanguitica is looking lovelywith her dangling yellowowers.With so muchhappening in the garden,busy lives and falls approacharound the corner, itsimportant to work with

the rhythm of the seasonalchange.To help get youthrough the change heresmy September gardenprimer.

Take advantage of thewarm fall soil:DuringSeptember through Octoberand in warm seasons intoNovember, the soil in ourregion is the warmest itwill be all year. Plantingnow takes advantage of thewarm soil and cooler days topromote plant establishment.Any plant from a pot can beplanted in this period. Plantscan also be transplanted now

but will require wateringaftercare until fall rains takehold.

To prune or not toprune: Plants that shouldnot be pruned now includeany plant that will owernext spring, includingrhododendrons, azalea,pieris forsythia, someviburnum and so forth.Pruning of those plants willremove next years owerbuds. Crown raising orcrown thinning of trees canoccur now depending on thespecies. Coniferous trees,like cedar and pine, can bedone. Broadleaved shrubs,like Portuguese laurel andso on, can also be pruned

if required. Hedging canbe pruned now but shouldnot be pruned hard to avoidpossible winter damage tothe resulting growth ushthat occurs in early October.

Chemical fertilizationof residential gardens infall:This is a controversialsubject to many people,including me. Proponentsbelieve fall fertilizationbenets root growth,hardiness and bud formationin many plants, particularlyspring blooming plants,not to mention lawngrass.There is research to

substantiate those claims,however, theres a differencebetween the science andthe ethical and rationaluse of such knowledge.Residential gardens acrossNorth America are victimsof unnecessary fertilizationsince the chemical revolutionof the 1950s.We are toblame in part due to ourinsatiable appetite for moreand greener and bigger. Ifyour plants are reasonablyhealthy, ower regularly andhave uniform green leaves,

then chemical fertilizationis a nancial waste and anenvironmental cost.

Enjoy the seasonalpeak of containerdisplays:For plants grownin containers, Septemberdisplays the culminationof a seasons growth.Wegenerally enjoy gradualchange from summer intofall allowing containerizedplants to bloom well intoOctober.Take notes onsuccess and failure butalways take time to enjoyyour creations at their peak.For containers that looka little tired, give thema quick prink and preenand half-strength feed offertilizer to perk them up.For containerized plants thatare exhausted, replant nowwith fall asters or mums, andperhaps an ornamental grassor winter foliage plant. Dontforget to amend the soilwhen replanting if neededand clear the drain holes.

The lawn looks a littletired:Lawns always look alittle tired and tattered afterthe summer drought. It isimportant to remember thatlawn grass naturally goesdormant during summer,so if your grass is brownyou get a gold star for beingenvironmentally conscious.As the fall rains set in thelawn will begin to growand green up.To help thelawn revitalize itself now isthe time to topdress.To beenvironmentally friendly,

topdress with animal manureor topsoil to help providenutrients instead of applyingchemical fertilizer.Apply thetopdress one to two inchesthick over the lawn andrake it in evenly until thegrass blades poke throughthe topdress.Aeration isnot needed in the fall if youaerated in the spring. Lime isnot needed unless a pH testindicated need.

Seeds, stems andstalks:Not all perennialsshould be deadheaded at thistime of year. Leave standingfor seasonal display all owerstalks that have interestingor colourful seed heads. Notonly are seed heads andfruits beautiful to look at,many of them provide foodfor birds.Always cut off anyseed heads from plants thatmay be prolic self-seederslike fennel (Foeniculum

vulgare), masterwort(Astrantia major) and ladysmantle (Alchemilla mollis).

Among the mostimportant chores of theseasonal change is takingtime to slow down and enjoythe fruits of your gardenlabour.This is one of mostbeautiful seasons to enjoy thegarden and other gardensin the neighbourhood.Thisis also a great time to visitlocal botanical gardensand parks to enjoy their falldisplay. Spend time withfriends, family and especiallychildren, and enjoy thebeautiful bounty that naturebestows upon us at this timeof year.
