Plan to participate in this regional celebration of Women's achieve- ments CONTINUOUS FORMS Printed and Blank PORT PERRY STAR 235 Queen Street 985-7383 Dandelions duel with gardeners Many Ontario residents who dislike spending the summer duell- ing with dandelions are turning their annual lawn battles over to professionals. Whether they are simply tired of fiddling with fertilizers, want better quality grass in their yards or are concerned about handling garden chemicals, increasing numbers of people are hiring lawn care experts, the industry reports. As lawn care services are new to many buyers, consumer experts are advising people to use caution before signing up for the season. Even consumers who have past ex- perience with these services might benefit from a bit of comparison shopping this spring, says Roberta Allan of the Ontario Ministry of Con- sumer and Commercial Relations (MCCR). ) "Pick a few companies and get lists of all the services they provide and costs involved," says Allan. "Try to choose from companies that have been recommended by friends or past customers." The Consumer Protection Act re- quires that all lawn care firms operating in Ontario be registered with the ministry. Before signing a contract, ask for the company's registration number and verify it by calling the nearest Consumer Ad- visory Bureau of MCCR. Most lawn care companies do _ everything but cut and water the grass. They analyse customers' pro- blems and develop individual pro- grams for rejuvenating run down lawns. Typically, a maintenance plan for a healthy lawn would include fer- tilizer, fungicide, pesticide and her- bicide applications, along with soil aeration when necessary. Properly trained staff should also be able to spot and deal with any unusual pest infestation or other lawn afflictions. The Consumer Protection Act re- quires that a written contract be set up, listing the name and address of the buyer and seller. It must include a detailed description of the services to be provided, the costs, method of payment and warranty information. If no warranties are offered, the contract should make this clear. Some lawn care companies use a saics technique called a 'negative option.' At the start of each season, these firms send out letters to past. customers advising them that their lawn care programs will begin automatically unless the company is informed the service is no longer wanted. According to Allan, this system is acceptable to some consumers, but disliked by those who would prefer to request renewal of services themselves. "So make sure you find out how the company does business before signing up,' she advises. In addition to knowing what to ex- pect from the company, consumers who want to get the most from a lawn service contract should be sure they understand their own responsibilities. Good companies will provide customers with suggested cutting and watering schedules to compli- ment the chemical treatments car- - ried out by the specialists, says Fred Dixon, a member of Landscape On- tario, a non-profit industry group with about 600 members across the province. '"We've seen a lot of lawns totally ruined because the customers listen- -ed to other so-called experts who ob- viously didn't know anything about lawns," says Dixon. "Customer education is an important part of any lawn care program. When we get our customers doing their part and we do ours, it works out well." Even if you follow watering and cutting instructions carefully, don't expect golf course quality turf to spring up overnight. Look for steady improvements when judging a par- ticular company's results with your lawn. Bob Cheesman, Executive Direc- tor of Landscape Ontario, also warns consumers to by wary of companies selling one-time only 'lawn treatments. "The trend in the industry is to of- fer a program of lawn care that will last the season ...." he says. Consumers should be aware that they have the right to cancel most lawn care contracts for more than $50 that are signed in their homes. Just send a registered letter to the company within two working days of the date the contract was signed. Ontario farmers salute budget Harry Pelissero, president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, welcomed the initiatives announced in the May 13 provincial budget. Ontario's farmers are caught in a war of agricultural subsidies bet- ween the U.S. and the European common market. The OFA head said the buget may not solve all of the industry's problems, but "now we've got some leverage. We have a little more room to maneuvre." Pelissero agreed with Treasurer Bob Nixon's observation that many Ontario farmers are experiencing the worst conditions since the 1930's. "The farmer's bottom line is af- fected by two major factors - com- modity prices and input costs. Yesterday's initiatives deal with farm credit, a crucial input cost to producers,' he remarked. Pelissero said he was encouraged by the government's proposals to: - extend the Ontario Family Farm Interest Rate Reduction Program - enrich the Farm Operating Credit Assistance Program - expand the Beginning Farmer Assistance Program, and undertake new research and education initiatives, and provide new marketing ideas for Ontario's agricultural products. The Federation representative however noted that missing from the budget was any action on the Liberal party campaign promise to "support the immediate introduc- tion of a capital loans program bas- ed on a farmer's ability to handle the loan for capital improvements and for improving efficiency." Also missing was greater funding for tile drainage which the Liberals promised to increase from 60 to 75 percent when they campaigned last year. The Federation noted with regret the increase in tobacco tax during these particularly difficult times for tobacco farmers. Responding to the Treasurer's an- nounced intention to wind down the provincial Farmers In Transition program, Pelissero cautioned the government against moving too fast. 'Ottawa has not released any details of the national program. We wouldn't want to see the provincial effort dropped until the federal government shows us exactly what they're planning to do." wie. wel ny le RB i aS sila oo
