The outreach program is slated to. begin in area primary schools in the new year, she said.. But local volunteers are needed now to help with the program. “You don’t have to be an ar- says Duthie. ‘‘You just have to be interested in art and interested in children.’’ Volunteers will attend four or five training sessions at the art gallery, then go into Peninsula - schools after Christmas. There. they will show various pieces of Canadian art and discuss the. painters and the — work with. students in. Kindergarten to Grade 3. The children will also par- ticipate through writing poetry — and stories or drawing entailing the ‘‘birds’’ theme. “The whole idea is to get children used to looking at and appreciating art,’’ said Duthie. Anyone interested in volunteering their time, about two.or three hours a week dur- ing the school year, can contact’ Duthie at 384-4101. | Ambulance food drive “To combat the. increasing de- : maid to provide food for needy « Peninsula residents, Sidney am-.. bulance service is stepping up its” ~ food .collection, says Rob Prit- chard, media relations officer... -year,. the: . stood. outside Throughout ting. money tc” buy. discount ~ food: for. the.

My heart ached for her as she asked if slugs died during the winter. I had to tell her that they seem impervious to cold, and when the spirit moves them, are quite capable of going skiing! She had used four full boxes of slug bait during this past summer, so my suggestion regarding slug bait fell on deaf ears. But she brightened up a little when told that the dregs of a bottle of beer appear to be fatally attractive to slugs, either poured into a saucer, or left in the bulge of a bottle laid flat on the ground. She recovered a bit more when told it is a sound idea to dig over your beds, not too.deeply, then leaving the soil rough (unraked) so any exposed eggs (of both slugs and other pests) may be eaten by birds. However, while doing this digging, keep your eyes open for sticky round masses of almost transparent greyish eggs. Don’t leave these. for birds. Do your. favorite rendition of the flamenco on top! They.are slug eges. Another method of extermination-at this time of year is to make the rounds of the garden picking up any pieces of wood, under which you may well find a couple of slugs. Kill these and stack the wood in a dry place or burn it. Pick. up any pile of leaves, or other refuse which may have been overlooked during your fall clean-up, and put it in the compost heap or - the garbage tin, destroying any slugs you meet during the en- counter of course! Early next spring is the time to launch an all-out attack, since at this time slugs are starving, and will eat almost anything, including lethal doses of slug bait. Later on these miserable things are less and less interested in bait, preferring your tender annuals instead. A call from.a newcomer to coastal B.C. gardening about when to prune roses. The answer is toward the beginning of March. Remove all long branches now, though, so they won’t waft about in the wind and damage bark or break off com- pletely. Actually, we have had. one rose bush pruned right | back to the ground already. Our beloved dog attempted to scale the five-foot fence, and fel! back smack on top of jit. Ex-. it one rose bush! That dog doesn’t realize just how close to sudden death she has come several times.in the past few mon- - ths, and not from falling off the fence either! A nice hint came from Valerie Gurton about dogs that dig q up vegetable beds. She cured their pet by putting. down a | plastic children’s pool with several:inches of water ‘and a cou- ple: of toys in it. Her dog had so much fun playing in the water it almost completely gave up. digging. She felt dogs dig.not so much to bury bones, nor. to dis-inter them, but out of com-. | plete and utter boredom. Its a great idea, | and well worth a | He°she holding the wire: up, ‘and keeping it: straight, and: tmak-. be ing sure that it remains six inches above the soil.
