Perra and his boys’ team ready

A local Juvenile volleyball
team is preparing to make a
trip to Prince George, April
17-18 to take part in the,
British Columbia Juvenile
Championships.

made up of players from area
high schools and has been

Success with some-of nature's most
spectacular but demanding flowering
shrubs and trees is often as simple as
“fixing” the soil to meet their needs

plants that flourish when planted in a
sheltered area and in soil that is loose,
moist, organically-rich, and within a pH
range of 4.0 to 5.0 (acidic).

The dilemma facing many gardeners
is how to prepare the soil for acid-lov-
ing plants. Native soil often has too
much clay, too much sand, or is out of
kilter pH-wise.

You can “build” your soil from the
ground down by amending it with a
nich, organic material. Backyard com-
post is becoming more prevalent as
composting methods are better under-
stood and practiced. Another choice,
especially in rural areas, is well-rotted
manure.

However, the most universal option
is Canadian Sphagnum peat moss, a

} plentiful, sustainable resource. It's

unique among other soil amendments
and specifically attuned to the needs of
azaleas and rhododendrons. You can

, condition your soil by working two
inches of peat moss into the top six
inches of soil.

Canadian Sphagnum peat moss has a
dependable pH level which easily can
be worked into any soil to sustain acid-
loving plants. Its naturally unique celu-
lar structure endures for years in the
soil, long after compost and other
amendments have dis L

The payoff to the gardener is that
sphagnum peat moss keeps the soil
amply loose, while the root structure of
a new plant establishes itself. This is
especially important with azaleas and
thododendrons because of their fibrous
Toot system.

Once you've amended the soil prop-
erly, you can plant your azaleas and
rhododendrons. Keep in mind that
while they are the best known acid-lov-
ing plants, there are many other trees,
shrubs and perennials you could grow

Two local payers on the

Lee Malinik and Dan
Kooznetsoff. Joining the two
locals are Theo Latkin, Shane
Kozak and Jeff Mayo from
Mt. Sentinel Secondary
School. Two Nelson players
are also on the team

It will be their perfor
mance on the court that will
separate this team from their
competition. One of the

strong things in their favor
according to Perra, is the
Strength of each player and
the total combination of
those players, who all play
the same type of volleyball
making up the basis for a sta-
ble team

“They all play the same
brand of volleyball and this
is a big advantage.”

One of the big, benefits for
the team is that they have
Latkin and he is what Perra

says, “one of the best setters
in the Juvenile class.

Each of the other players
on the team brings with him
something to add to the
overall makeup of the team

her desired weight, Binnie fol-
