The search for missing ATV passenger David Shackleton is over. On May 17, the BC Coroners Service confirmed that the 28-year-old man, who has been missing since April following an ATV accident near Summerland, was found deceased in Trout Creek.

Shackleton was a passenger on an ATV that was travelling on the Princeton-Summerland Road on the afternoon of April 16, when the driver lost control. Shackleton was thrown from the ATV into the creek, which the RCMP says was running “extremely high and fast” at the time.

The search began just after 6 p.m. on April 16, after reports of a quad flipping on a bridge over Trout Creek at the 15-kilometre mark of the Princeton Summerland Road west of Summerland.

The search was temporarily suspended later last month due high water levels resulting from the spring run off.

Though the search was later resumed, search and rescue personnel were unable to locate the young man.

However, Shackleton’s friends and family, who have continued to search feverishly for their loved one, were ultimately successful in finding him. Shackleton’s body was located in the creek on May 15. Search and rescue aided in the recovery.

The BC Coroner’s Service will continue their investigation.

The driver of the ATV was taken into custody, but was later released and has not been charged.

Turning water into whine

Peachland resident says Canadians are suffering from “Princess and the Pea syndrome”

MEMBERS OF ONE of the recipient families.

ERIN CHRISTIE EDITOR

editor@peachlandview.com

There is no denying that clean water is essential, but when residents’ letters explained their frustration with Peachland’s poor water quality due to the turbidity associated with the annual spring run-off, and the subsequent four-week boil water advisory, began to flow into the The View last month, one resident says it was an indication of much more than the mere need to expedite the construction of the long-soughtafter water treatment plant council hopes to bring to fruition.

Kevin Bennett, a long-time resident and business owner, says the volume and the severity of comments he’s heard and read over the past month underscore the need for something he feels many North Americans lack – perspective.

“Yep. It’s murky, and I’d prefer not to have to boil or filter it,” Bennett conceded in an email to The View on May 4.

“But saying nasty things about our city officials and administration is unkind and not the behaviour I would hope Peachland would become known for. It’s not like they’re throwing mud in the water to spite us; they are simply doing the best they can with the re-

sources they have,” he added.

“I’m not disputing that we need a filtration system, or that it’s inconvenient to deal with this every spring, but [officials] can’t exactly pop into Costco and buy a new Brita filter.”

Bennett admits the concern about Peachland’s water supply is legitimate and needs to be addressed, but notes the situation could be “much worse.”

“We live in this bubble of excess comfort,” he explained.

“It frustrates me because we have created a Princess and the Pea world, where no level of comfort or ease is enough for us.”

He says that’s why he travels to the third world every winter.

“It reminds me of just how lucky I am to live in Canada,” he said on May 16.

In 2015, Bennett

KEVIN BENNETT

traveled to Cambodia – an experience he calls eye-opening and life-changing.

“In that country, millions of people live without any clean water at all, and instead are forced to drink feces-contaminated river water from their rice paddies,” he recalled.

“Here in Peachland, people complain about the clarity of our water; in Cambodia, they’d be grateful for clean water of any colour,” he pointed out.

“These people are drinking contaminated water that makes them sick – children are dropping like flies from dysentery or worse.”

Bennett says seeing such deplorable conditions led him to discover Cambodian Child’s Dream, a non-profit that builds wells for people in Cambodia.

“For $150 U.S.

FILE PHOTO

KEVIN BENNETT you can have a well built that provides clean water from the ground supply for up to 20 people,” he continued.

“That well will last a long time. And you get to see a direct result from your donation.”

Bennett said he recently sponsored a well as a wedding present for his nephew.

“The charity installs a sign noting who made the donation,” he said.

“Instead of a juicer or whatever, their wedding gift was clean water for three poor families in rural Cambodia. It’s a great way to give both a gift to the people of Cambodia, and to the people you love.”

Bennett’s passion for the people of

Proud to Be Your Family Pet Doctors

Cambodia was further ignited after another discovery he made last year.

Bennett, armed with his camera, visited the notorious Killing Fields.

“There are so many bodies here that bones literally rise from the ground when it rains,” he recalled sadly.

“Pol Pot was in power for just three years, eight months and 20 days, but in that time killed three million Cambodians out of a population of eight million. Hours after seizing power he evacuated the entire population of Phnom Penh – that’s two million people – into the rice paddies and ordered them to start growing rice, while simultaneously

blowing up the city, destroying the temples, hospitals and schools, and killing anyone with more than a Grade 3 education.”

To put this into perspective, Bennett said to imagine frog marching every single Vancouverite to Saskatchewan and telling them they’re now wheat farmers.

“Oh, and the wheat quota has been trebled, they have no accommodation, food or tools and they shot all the farmers who knew how to grow wheat,” he added.

“These are deeply personal crimes.

This isn’t dropping munitions from a drone 10,000 miles away while sipping a mocha. This is personal, individual horror. How much hate could there have

been? How does one person get to hate another so much that they think this is acceptable?”

Bennett says the experience and the history he has learned throughout his travels are a chilling reminder of the importance of pursuit of education about the world around us, and the need for those of us fortunate enough to live in countries that are considered to be part of the First World, to maintain perspective.

“I realize it sounds extreme, but think about it. Having to boil water every day in some of the places I’ve visited requires a huge expenditure in gathering wood and tending a fire. Here, we just turn on our stove.”

No bypass

My husband and I moved here from Glenrosa Road in West Kelowna and we bought a home on Princeton Rd. for a reason: it’s quiet and it is away from everything.

We wanted the peacefulness of Peachland to raise our children – that is the reason we bought our home here. We both grew up in Summerland and absolutely love the small-town feel of Peachland.

After many weeks of investigating/researching this new purposed bypass, I have come to the conclusion that I am in full support of upgrading Highway 97 in its current location.

I do believe that the present highway does need upgrading to make it safer for the stakeholders to use, but I do not think that a bypass around Peachland is the answer.

I feel that as a community Peachland residents must consider the following very seriously: The existing businesses in the community will suffer substantially without the traffic going through town.

Environmentally, the bypass is a complete nightmare. We can replace man-made recreational facilities, but how can we replace habitat for 24 red-listed and blue-listed species? How can we replace the landscape beauty that surrounds Peachland?

The fact is that we can’t. So people have to make a choice: 300-foot rock cuts and fills or a beautiful landscape, stewardship of the environment or expatriation of species. The natural beauty of the valley is a non-renewable natural resource that demands our treasure and protection, not the flippant disregard granted by the bypass committee and our council.

Nature, trails, parks and wildlife would suffer immensely. Preserv-

ing one of the largest remaining sections of the Historic Hudson’s Bay Company Fur Brigade Trail is in jeopardy from the proposed Peachland bypass. The new freeway will obliterate a large section of the trail at Antlers Saddle and destroy an amazing Okanagan hiking/biking experience.

On the subject of parks: what about Pincushion Mountain and Trepanier? What becomes of them? Pavement and concrete barriers is what!

The peace and tranquility of the community would be destroyed.

More traffic would be coming down and going up Princeton. Safety of the residents would be compromised. Princeton would become a major artery for this bypass.

Trucks screeching down with engine brakes, faster speeds, no sidewalks and the road itself right now is too narrow in areas. What about the children catching the bus to and from school along Princeton? We already have a serious problem with people not stopping for school buses.

The cost of the bypass in comparison to the cost of upgrades and expansion to the current Highway 97. The bypass is double the cost of making Highway 97 into four lanes with fewer implications to the environment, landscape, wildlife and to the citizens of Peachland. And the cost to the tax payers would not end there.

As for the people who currently live along Highway 97 who are in favor of the bypass and cutting our town into chunks and making it a pavement hell – shame on you! You were fully aware of your location when purchasing your home. Buy near a highway, you better expect expansion and modernization.

For the sake of our children, their children and generations to follow – please consider all of this before allowing this bypass.

OPINION

Time for MOTI to get moving Since the meeting held at the Peachland Community Centre in early spring, I’ve had a chance to gather my thoughts on the continuing saga of the highway dilemma. Residents have fought, sadly among themselves, about the traffic issue going through our village.

The sabre-rattling must come to an end.

Viable business decisions must be made so this bureaucratic process can come out of a stall.

The committee formed that evening to represent us must be struggling with the needs and wants, and above all, the reality of what to advise on our behalf. I pray for them.

With cool heads, they have a duty to tell the ministry how the residents would like to see it done.

After all the arguments were heard that evening, one thing is very

much apparent: the “green”, the “yellow” and the “red” sticky people all had one thing in common – they feel a change must occur so people stop dying on this remaining stretch of highway and that we get a better traffic flow. Highways don’t normally kill people, but a well-engineered highway certainly helps with our cause.

So, to date, the widening to four lanes of the existing highway, where a lot of the right of ways and properties are already owned by the Crown is, of course, the easy, most cost-effective way, and they could get at it.

Blazing new trail over mountain and valley, creek and water shed, through non-negotiated trap lines is the alternative – that is, only after costing is completed on snow clearing, the municipal tax increase for

us to maintain the then “old Highway 97,” a bunch of 50 km/h signs are made, the construction of a bridge half the length of the WAC Bennett bridge...

Holeeee.

The list keeps being added to. Stakeholders and cost increases are coming out of the woodwork every time the topic comes up.

This is going to take way too long, the price of construction

costs will keep rising, longer line-ups year after year.

We aren’t getting anywhere, citizens, and as long as we play the power struggle between the green and the red, the provincial government will sit back and not spend a dime.

Where do our elected municipal leaders sit? They could stay with the mission statement “....use fact

based decision making” or just go with who will or will not re-elect them. When the provincial government doled out loot last time to build a recreation facility they were all for it.

There might be a better chance of getting re-elected if they just let some non-elected committee wag the dog, so to speak.

In closing: will, or should a bypass

happen? Absolutely.

It did in Edmonton (the Anthony Henday) and Calgary (the Stoney Trail) once they reached a population of one million.

When our population reaches that level, then logically we need to persuade travelers to pass us by and tour the clear-cut scenery above; the pine beetle kill, the snow-filled ditches.

Drop by an old closed

open pit mine and just leave us alone to die.

Good luck with that; I am not dying.

Let’s just get the job done, folks, what is cost-effective and inevitable will happen. Let’s just not hire another wishywashy consulting group to come to do more studies. It is taking way too long.

Environmental Assessment of the Proposed Revelstoke Unit 6 Project

Open House and Invitation to Comment BC Hydro (Proponent) is proposing to install a 500-megawatt generating unit into an existing turbine bay at Revelstoke Generating Station (proposed Project), located 5 km north of the City of Revelstoke. A new capacitor station would also be built on an existing transmission line approximately 19 km west of Summerland. The capacitor station is needed to reliably deliver the extra electricity generated to the BC Hydro grid.

The proposed Project is subject to review under British Columbia’s Environmental Assessment Act. The Proponent must obtain an environmental assessment certificate before any work can be undertaken on the proposed Project. However, prior to submission of an application (Application) for a certificate by the Proponent, Environmental Assessment Office of British Columbia (EAO) must first approve Application Information Requirements.

The Application Information Requirements will specify the studies to be conducted and the detailed information to be provided by the Proponent in its Application. EAO has now received draft Application Information Requirements from the Proponent and invites comments on this draft.

In order to provide information about the Application Information Requirements EAO invites the public to attend an Open House. There will be two Open Houses to be held as follows: Revelstoke Community Centre 600 Campbell Avenue, Revelstoke on: Wednesday May 25, 2016 from: 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and, at: District of Summerland Old Library Building, 9525 Wharton Street, Summerland on: Thursday May 26, 2016 from: 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at:

There are 31 days for the submission of comments by the public in relation to the draft Application Information Requirements. The comment period will begin on Friday, May 20, 2016 and end on Monday, June 20, 2016.

NOTE:

All comments received during this comment period in relation to the Application Information Requirements will be considered.

The intention of seeking public comments is to ensure that all potential effects – environmental, economic, social, heritage and health – that might result from the proposed Project are identified for consideration as part of the assessment process.

At this stage of the process, the primary intent is to receive feedback about the studies or information required for a comprehensive environmental assessment.

After taking public comments into account, EAO will finalize the Application Information Requirements and issue them to the Proponent.

EAO accepts public comments through the following ways: • By Online Form at: http://www.eao.gov.bc.ca • By Mail: Kate Haines Project Assessment Manager Environmental Assessment Office PO Box 9426 Stn Prov Govt Victoria BC V8W 9V1 • By Fax: Fax: 250-387-2208 An electronic copy of the Application Information Requirements and information regarding the environmental assessment process are available at www.eao.gov.bc.ca.

Copies of the Application Information Requirements are also available for viewing at these locations: • Okanagan Regional Library – Revelstoke Branch 600 Campbell Avenue, Revelstoke • Okanagan Regional Library – Summerland Branch 9533 Main Street, Summerland If you are unable to participate at this time, there will be an additional comment period during the Application Review stage when you will also be able to provide comments to EAO on the proposed Project.

All submissions received by EAO during the comment period in relation to the proposed Project are considered public and will be posted to the EAO website.

UBC study shows prolonged use of antibiotics can accelerate diabetes ERIN CHRISTIE EDITOR

editor@peachlandview.com

A team of UBC researchers have found that gut bacteria are linked to the onset of Type 1 diabetes.

According to Deanna Gibson, a microbiologist at the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences at UBC’s Okanagan campus, the study’s findings also show that long-term and over-use of antibiotics can accelerate the process by disrupting the gut bacteria.

In a brief interview with The View, Gibson explained that the

incidence of Type 1 diabetes has doubled in the last few years in Western countries.

She says this is most obvious in children between the ages of one and five, which suggests that early life events are critical to health.

“Our research pinpoints the significant role of bacteria and how antibiotic use can alter their normal development in the gut which then can alter the health of these individuals,” she noted.

“While it’s clear that antibiotics are very useful in medicine, overusing them can have significant consequences.”

The study, which examined dia-

more specific antibiotics.”

There are more than 10 million Canadians living with diabetes or prediabetes, a chronic disease in which the body cannot produce or properly use insulin. (Insulin controls the amount of sugar in the blood.) Type 1 diabetes results when the immune system accidentally attacks and kills insulin-producing cells.

The research, recently published in the Nature Group’s ISME Journal, was supported by the Child and Family Research Institute Diabetes Catalyst Grant from the Canuck’s Foundation, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council.

betes-onset in mice, demonstrated that those susceptible to diabetes had more harmful and less beneficial bacteria than those resistant to the disease. The researchers also demonstrated that the harmful bacteria generated an immune response, which in turn, stimulated destruction of insulin-producing cells.

“We were able to establish a clear relationship between bacteria, the body’s immune reaction and the development of Type 1 diabetes,” she added.

“This is likely to have significant implications for treatment of the disease. The next steps are to narrow-in and identify which bacteria induce or perhaps protect against Type 1 diabetes. This, in turn, could help with the production of

various community events. To date, the chorus has raised

approximately two million dollars for hospitals, schools and

charitable causes.

During their Peachland performance,

their first in four years, the chorus performed for a full

house (180 guests), with half of the ticket sales going to the 50+ Activity Centre and half going to the chorus’s charity of choice.

In support of the residents of Fort McMurray, who are currently under a mandatory evacuation order, the board

members of the 50+ Activity Centre opted to donate to the Salvation Army to assist the displaced residents and families. According to Pat Grieve, the centre’s total donation, including refreshment sales from the event, total $1,135.

Pet of the Week Name: Riva Age: 4 years Poor Riva had an old injury that caused her pain and discomfort, and the only way to relieve it was to amputate her rear leg. Thanks to wonderful supporters and donors Riva is no longer in pain and she is full of cuddles and sweet meows.

Her Animal ID is 395095.

W Realtor Troy Fischer to provide shuttle bus service once again VIEW STAFF For the 19th year in a row, the World of Wheels Show and Shine car show would not be the success it is without the shuttle bus service from the mall to the community centre for Peachland’s largest one-day event.

Realtor Troy Fischer provides the service free of charge, with a donation toward the Peachland

Food Bank.

Fischer says “There will be two buses that will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. from the PetroCanada at the mall to the Peachland Community Centre, shuttling people back and forth approximately every 15 minutes. This is Peachland’s biggest event of the year and more than 10,000 people descend on our beautiful little town that day. This

“The bus rides are free but I will be collecting donations on every bus once again for the Peachland Food Bank,” said Fischer. “I encour-

age everyone to give generously as our little town’s food bank gets used well. There are many families in Peachland that rely on the food bank, we all can help and should more often. Please take this opportunity and help me generate

much-needed funds that will stay in our community.”

“I think it’s very important, if you raised your family in Peachland, and you make your living here that you also donate your time and help fund raise and give back to Peachland residents as well. I love our town and whether I’m showing it off

to new clients from Alberta or just from the coast I always call it ‘The Jewel of the Okanagan Valley’ and everyone says the same thing: ‘you sure love it here,’ and they are correct, what’s not to love?”

The last shuttle will leave the community centre at 4 p.m. for the trip back to the mall.

It’s estimated that more than half of Peachland attends World of Wheels since being elected during the last municipal election.

This year’s show will take place on May 22. The first vehicles will start arriving at 7 a.m. and Beach Avenue will officially be closed to traffic starting at 10:30 a.m. The actual show will begin at 11 a.m. and continue until 4 p.m.

New this year is a food truck alley with some unique trucks offering a variety of

delicious treats.

The Rotary and Lions Club will have hot dogs and hamburgers available in Cousins Park where there will also be seating available.

There will also be all the usual long weekend fare, such as ice cream, cold drinks and doughnuts.

As has become tradition, the entire stretch of Beach Avenue – as well as Cousins Park – will be

VIEW STAFF The Peachland World of Wheels Show and Shine event has become so popular it can’t grow any bigger.

The event, which is celebrating its 19th anniversary in 2016, continues to be one of the largest classic car show and shine events in all of British Columbia.

“If we get nice weather, we will have more than 550 vehicles at the show and we literally can’t fit in

another car or truck… we’ve run out of room,” said Pam Cunningham, the chair of the Peachland Car Society, which has organized the Peachland World of Wheels for the past several years.

Peachland World of Wheels is “easily the biggest single day event held in this town every year” and that’s something she’s very proud of, said Cunningham, who works full-time as a nurse and part-time as a town councillor

Peachland World of Wheels relies on its dedicated board of volunteers Continued from page 11

lined with cars, trucks, motorcycles and antique boats.

Cunningham said it’s remarkable that a small town like Peachland can continue to host one of the largest shows of its kind anywhere in the province.

“If the weather co-operates, we will have more than 550 vehicles and a crowd of around 14,000 people, which is pretty incredible when you think about it,” she said. “If the weather isn’t nice, then the number of cars drops significantly and we’ve seen the crowds drop to roughly 8,000, but that’s still a huge event for a town this size.”

Classic car and truck owners from the entire Okanagan Valley – stretching from Osoyoos in the South Okanagan to Vernon/Armstrong/Enderby in the North Okanagan and all communities in between – bring their vehicles to Peachland for World of Wheels, said Cunningham.

There are also numerous participants from Alberta, the Fraser Valley and Vancouver area and from Washington State.

Those who come out to view the vehicles and enjoy the show also come from far away to attend, she said.

“I would say more than half of the town attends, but we also get people from all over the South Okanagan, a lot from West Kelowna and Kelowna and many from Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.”

There aren’t many classic shows that can offer an event held on the shores of gorgeous Okanagan Lake and its worldclass view, said Cunningham.

Cunningham said it takes

many months of hard work to organize World of Wheels and the event would not continue to be a huge success if not for the dedicated board of volunteers with the Peachland Car Society.

They include Russ Paul, Ashley Schultz, Glenn Hoff, Bill Wakeling, Robbie Wilkes and Borana Bach.

“We basically end one show and start planning for the next,” she said. “We have a very dedicated group of volunteers and they all deserve credit for working so hard to make sure this show continues to be a success,

and Al Wiebe, the man who founded Peachland World of Wheels 19 years ago, remains an inspiration and is always willing to provide advice to the organizing committee,” said Cunningham.

“Whenever I have a big problem, I still call Al and he’s always more than willing to help out,” she said.

Once again, a shuttle service will operate from Clements Crescent to bring people to and from the event. The buses will run from early morning until the late afternoon.

Local realtor Troy Fischer is sponsoring the shuttle service, she said.

There will be vendors, food and music in Cousins Park throughout the day. Papa Thom, plus guests, and The Regals, featuring Ed Turner, will provide the musical entertainment at Heritage Park. Turner is the longtime owner of Ed Turner Volkswagen, which remains a major sponsor of the World of Wheels show.

Chances are you may know someone who has issues with falling asleep or staying asleep, or perhaps have had difficulty sleeping yourself. But what exactly is insomnia, and at which point should you seek help from your doctor or pharmacist?

Insomnia is defined as having problems with sleep. This may include difficulty falling or staying asleep, waking up too early, or not feeling rested upon waking up. Insomnia by definition does not include the number of hours a person sleeps per night, as each person can require different amounts of sleep.

It is estimated that seven per cent of adults develop insomnia each year, and that 30 per cent of people develop symptoms of insomnia at some

point in their life. It is important to recognize, prevent, and treat insomnia when needed, as the ongoing inability to get a good night’s sleep may impact one’s health, daily activities such as work, and personal life such as relationships.

Insomnia may occur for many reasons.

The more common causes of insomnia are age-related changes in sleep patterns, side effects of medications, or certain illnesses. Sometimes insomnia starts without any known cause.

If you cannot fall asleep, get out of bed and try again later; • Avoiding daytime naps; • Avoiding caffeine-conta ining drinks in the afternoon or evening (this may include regular teas, soft drinks, and coffee); • Avoiding strenuous exercise or smoking in the evening or right before bedtime; • Limiting alcohol consumption, as it may disrupt sleep pattern; • Keeping your bedroom dark and free of distractions (like avoiding watching television in bed); • Avoiding the use of devices in bed that give off light, such as cellphones or tablets; • Solving problems before going to bed, or writing down things that worry you before bedtime; • Relaxation techniques; • Keeping a journal for one to two weeks, to help pinpoint the cause(s) of sleep difficulty; and • Seeing your pharmacist or doctor to evaluate your current medications for possible causes of insomnia.

If you feel you may be experiencing insomnia, and it is troubling you or affecting your daytime activities, you should see your doctor or pharmacist for suggestions and treatment options. If any of the above-listed non-medication techniques are unsuccessful at relieving your symptoms, there may be medications that can help. As with any new medication, it is important to consult your pharmacist about the proper use of the medication, what to expect and watch for, if there are any potential drug interactions, and how to avoid or manage possible side effects.

Feel free to drop into RX Remedy Pharmacy to speak with Orysya or Chelsea about insomnia and your sleep, or for any other questions regarding your health or medication regimens!

Stop weeds before they take over Few things can be as troublesome to gardeners and landscapers as weeds.

Weeds seemingly spring up overnight and quickly can overrun lawns and/or garden beds. Landscaping enthusiasts may spend countless hours and weekends coping with weeds without truly getting to the root of the problem. However, preventing weed growth need not be so difficult.

According to the experts at This Old House and The Family Handyman, the secret

Peachland

to preventing weeds is to maintain a thick, healthy lawn. A vigourously growing lawn will crowd out weeds and block the sun weed seeds need to germinate and thrive. As a result, fewer herbicides may be needed and homeowners can spend less times on their hands and knees pulling out weeds.

Mow at the right height

Crabgrass is a notoriously virulent weed that can quickly snuff out blades of grass.

Crabgrass likes hot, dry conditions, and it

only takes one plant to spread the seeds that can overtake the lawn. Preventing these conditions can stop crabgrass from flourishing. Mowing at higher heights and

leaving grass blades taller can shade the soil, helping to prevent the germination of crabgrass. Shady conditions also will help the soil retain moisture and prevent

the arid conditions crabgrass likes so much.

Water deeply

Weeds are accustomed to growing in adverse conditions,

including especially hot temperatures.

When such conditions arise, weeds establish deep roots while the roots of the grass can easily die off. Instead, when watering, wet the soil to a depth of four to six inches.

This helps grass to establish strong root systems that will help lawns overpower pesky weeds.

Time weed killers

Whether you manually remove weeds or apply weed killers, timing is key.

the early spring before they have a time to fully form and start proliferating through seed dispersement. Once seeds spread, their growth is difficult to control. Recognize that no single herbicide or weeding tactic will work for every type of weed.

Broadleaf weeds, like dandelions, unwanted grasses, and sedges are the three most common types of weeds. Homeowners will have to adapt based on the type of weed that is most prevalent in their lawns.

Strike a balance with fertilizer, finding the right amount to deliver continuous nutrition to the lawn, but not overfeed it so that weeds can thrive. Many lawns only require fertilizer once or twice annually, in the autumn and spring.

By following these guidelines, lawn and garden enthusiasts can prevent the proliferation of unsightly and potentially harmful weeds.
