Latah dn 23 It appeared that someone had tried to set the shower cur- 5 . tain on fire and there was a bum a spot on the bathroom wall but neither the curtain nor the wall ignited, she said. Ron Parker, owner of the North Kalum Trailer Court, _ confirmed the trailer was vacant at the time. He said he was cleaning it up to rent and had left the door open to air out the inside. He estimated the damage to be about $4,000, including "extensive smoke damage. Parker said it'll require a lot of airing out but that he’ HI still clean it up in the hope of renting it. Parker said he’s interested in finding the person who dis- covered the fire so that perhaps the fire starter could then be identified. “It makes you mad,” he said, standing on the porch of the ~ smoky-Smelling trailer. : “We suffer a lot from vandalism in this town. “What for?

I think of clean water cascading over rocks in a gurgling brook on a gravel stream bed, ornamental grasses being brushed by the cool water, the majestic glow of a flowering clematis vine as it clings to a mossy log, water lilies gently opening, as the warm sun peaks through the branches of a young hemlock, koi lazily swimming clearly visible at the bottom of this natural paradise. This is only : the beginning of the Aquascape lifestyle. " It's true that water gardening has had its flops, “but it has also had its successes. The industry has fearned from both, so much so that water gardeners can. consistently build beautiful, successful, and very low maintenance ponds. © It's really quite simple. In the past a pond was a piece of fish . | safe liner tossed in a hole, a pump and hose, a : potted water'lily, and few fish gasping for.air. Not i to mention string algae’and green water. A healthy : _ | natural pond needs to have a balanced life cycle and the part of that cycle that has been missing in most ponds is beneficial bacteria. These bacteria. live in the biological filters and.on rocks and gravel inthe pond. They consume ammonia and nitrites that poison the water. Another important aspect of a proper pond is filtration. Although most ponds‘have some form of filtration it is usually not enough. The water needs to be continually moving, - therefore you need to circulate the whole pond approximately once per hour to get proper filtration. It is all about creating a balanced ecosystem. With an Aquascape pond it is very easy to achieve once you have. the proper tools and understanding. If you have any questions on how you can create this beautiful paradise in your yard please call or come by our store. Rr ss Over 400 100% Digita ea ee DIGITAL FAVOU RITES | OVER 270 CHANNELS!
