Affairs
Our local clubs, groups and
communities all benefit from the
efforts of volunteers, so why
shouldn't the volunteers benefit
from training opportunities? Two
such training opportunities in
Huron County are "What's The
Scoop" and "Beyond Police
Checks". Both programs are being
co-ordinated by Volunteer Huron.
What's the Scoop will show you
how to use print, radio, TV and
even cyberspace to promote the
merits of your group. This infor-
mative workshop is set for Friday,
Oct. 27 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and
costs just $30 per person which

fertilizer. It is best to use a fertilizer
recommended for new lawns, in the
amount suggested on the bag. Grass
seeds themselves contain only
enough nutrients to begin the
growing process, so it's necessary
to add a nutrient-rich soil
supplement to the soil bed to
facilitate and bolster continued
plant growth.
Follow-Up Care
Keep the newly seeded area
moist for approximately two
weeks, or until the grass is well
established. Sprinklers should be
set so that they cover the entire

the Board of Education's new
video-conferencing system, and
learn how to use the Internet
(electronic information space) to
your advantage.
Beyond Police Checks will
spotlight a framework for effective
and safe operation of your agency's
programs. Linda Graff, a best
selling author and volunteer sector

planted area without having to be
disruption of seed development. It
is best to avoid light sprinklings;
water should penetrate the soil to a
depth of several inches.
Mow the grass as soon as it is
about 2 1/2 inches high and is
completely dry. Mowing helps
eliminate tall weeds and maintains
a tight turf. You may also want to
apply a second batch of limestone
or gypsum in the spring to keep
your soil healthy.
Following these few easy steps
this fall and utilizing proper
maintenance techniques thereafter
will help ensure a healthy lawn
next spring.
