The local girls returned VAN BELLE ON GARDENING The most common mistake is made by the first time gardener, who has just planted evergreens around his home, by thinking that they do not require any pruning until they grow a bit larger. Now is the time to start shaping shaping them when they are young, and this is the time of the year to do it. Most evergreens have already gone through their first flush of growth, and can be shaped at this time. The pyramidal evergreen should be kept trimmed into a pyramid shape, and particular particular attention should be given to the top, where you will notice the most growth. That is where the heaviest trimming should be done to keep them in shape, or else they will grow into a. round shape and lose its landscape value. Trimming is easy, just use a hedge trimmer or clipper, clipper, or a sharp knife and then trim them from the bottom up, just enough to keep them' in shape. Spreading evergreens can be trimmed several ways. One is to go into the growth of the tree and remove sections of the tufted growth, which will prune the tree but not sacrifice the shape of the- trufted growth. This pruning will have to be done with a hand clipper. Some people have problems to prune this way, and feel that they would rather leave them than try to prune them and spoil them. This type of thinking is dead wrong. Evergreens should be pruned from the first year that they are planted, so that- thé growth will conform to the tree pattern, and in turn will keep the tree healthy and full of fresh growth during it's life span. If you have problems problems or if you feel that you cannot do it this way, then the next best way is to shape them round specially in the spreaders and the globe types. Just take the hedge shears and then found them, which will induce the tree to keep producing fresh growth and which will keep them healthy. The globe types come in many varieties, such as • the Mugho pine, which should have the "Candles" pr new growth trimmed in half, just make sure that.it will form a nice mound from the ground up. Other globes such as the Yews ahd globe cedar can be trimmed by rounding them off with the hedge shears. The broadleaf evergreens can be trimmed back to make them fill out better and they can be trimmed to whateyer shape you would like. Things to do this week Spray thé evergreens with a . systemic insecticide. Apply the supnmer feeding to the lawn, either with weedkiller or if the lawn is clean just the fertilizer,-, make sure that the fertilizer is one that will not burn, because with hot weather some of the cheaper kinds wilj burn unless watered in. Vegetables should have an application .of an insecticide and in some cases a combination combination fungicide and insecticide to keep them healthy. Until next, week, happy ,gardening.

It's always heartening to hear stories of how people get together and successfully solve their own problems. I recently came across such a sfory in my own home town of Bowmanville and would like to share it with you this week. ' As every- parent knows, .June is a difficult time for teenagers. High school is ctiming to a close - there are .final exams to be written and the hunt for summer jobs begins. This is a time when many students look to * counselling. For students at Bowmanville Bowmanville High School, a new and effective form of counselling is available. This is t^ie TACT groups, the 16-member Teens Actively Coqching Teens, set up by guidance counsellor Joanne Murray^ in her many years of .experience-in .experience-in counselling teens, Ms. Murray realized that the . yopng listen, and are more receptive to people their .own age. .This realization became the idea behind the creation of TACT. . Wednesday, July 1st, 1981-5 Members of TACT were chosen by four full-time guidance counsellors from student applicants. Criteria for joining the TACT group was promotion to Grades 11 through 13, a willingness to help people, general good sense, and, to an extent, academic record. •At present TÀCT consists of fourteen girls and two boys, acting under the supervision supervision of a full-time counselling counselling staff. Each member of the group underwent an intensive in-service training program in after-school hours. The group is responsible , for tutoring students with poor grades, and has inspired improvement in many. In addition, addition, their common sense has helped many fellow students with the kind of personal personal problems which the young have problems in confiding confiding to adults. The TACT group is proving proving to be a success at Bowmanville High School, and has received attention from the Ministry of Education Education in the form of an article in Education Ontario, a Ministry tabloid. But Bowmanville is not the only community where new educational .techniques are achieving success. In the Oshawa area, a local veterinarian is helping the Durham Board of Education improve the teaching of basic ethics and social responsibility. responsibility. Dr . Greg Topolie if serving as an upaid consultant to the Board, and advising schools in the use of household pets as a classroom teaching aid. By teaching children respect for animals, it is hoped they will learn a respect for all living living things. Animals programs are also becoming useful in the teaching of language arts, social studies, science and. math. In. addition, animal programs are helping the young learn civic responsibility. responsibility. For example, some students have contacted local* electee} representatives about leash laws- and have circulated circulated petitions about animal issues. , The more our young people people learn about interacting with the community, with Others and themselves, the better ^equipped they will be when they leave school to become responsible, self- sufficent citizens. 1 congratulate our local school officials for having the- insight and imagination to . back these programs. I look toward to the extension of these programs and their further further success. , In closing I'd like to take the opportunity to welcome a new general practitioner to the Village of Newcastle. Dr. Mohinder ' K. Angl is now working with Dr. Miklos. thanks to the Oshawa Little Little Theatre for their invitation invitation to their "mortgage burning" burning" and to the Rebel Drum and Bugle Corps for their invitation invitation to their competition at the Civic Centre on the same night.
