"SPRING CLEANING

Have” ‘you ever ‘sat by your pond and
“ wondered why. you are constantly fighting’
algae? You go for walks inthe woods and don't
‘see algae taking over nature. So why is it so
hard for you to keep your pond looking nice?
-| The key to a nice pond is to come as close to
‘|. nature as possible. ~
In the fall plants die back and leaves blow into the
pond: This organic matter lays in the pond over
the winter, and as the temperature: rises in the
‘spring decomposition speeds: up and ammonia
~ |: is produced... This ammonia compounds. with
|. the already high levels of ammonia produced |.
from fish waste, and together they reach toxic |
levels that will kill fish.. Ammonia:then naturally -
‘changes into nitrites and then to nitrates, which |
causes an.algae bloom. ~
_ Natural lakes and streams are divinely organized ;
in their life cycles: Spring run off is a very.
important .part of a natural fresh water eco-
system. In the spring snow melts and rushes
‘down the mountains, flushing old polluted water
from all-the iakes and streams. This is why a
spring cleaning is one of the most important
things you can do for your pond and fish. Taking
this very important maintenance step will very
likely save your fish from death and ‘eliminate
90% of spring and summer algae.
The key to:a beautiful pond is to follow God’ 5
design. Come by the store-for a ‘step- by-step
guide. to a. spring clean out,

absence of the bus service. .

- “There were concerns that because of ' our schedule being. *

reduced people would have to drive in their cars in the win-
ter or concerns about hitchhiking,” Shephard said.

Public officials and Private citizens in Terrace and area

had opposed the company’s original plan.-

The company will have to advertise exactly which sched-
“ules it ‘intends to cut before making the changes and Sheph-

ard expects that to happen in the next month.

The company now plans another application to the Pas-*
senger Transportation Board. This time it wants to eliminate. :
