Wednesday, August 23, 1989 TERRACE BAY/SCHREIBER NEWS Page 5 Hospital Continued from page 4 compared to this one and the staff is sometimes so busy they don't have the time for you. At McCausland my experience with the nurses are that they always have time for a joke, a friendly smile or a pat on the hand if needed. The cleaning staff is immaculate and if need be, eat- ing off the floors could be possi- ble. Moving of personal belong- ings ensures me that the area has been cleaned thoroughly. I have no complaints about the manner in which our hospital is run o cleaned. Let's thank our lucky stars we have a hospital as fine as this one. Yours Truly Sheila Dakin Fire Week Contiriued from page 3. To ensure that the objectives of site preparation are met, that values are protected and the burn is accomplished safely, a Prescribed Burn Plan is required. It is a detailed document covering every aspect of burning. Key elc- ments include: Site - natural boundaries on the perimeter of a proposed burn are a primary, common. sense consideration. These can be lakes, streams, swamps, roads. and stands of deciduous trees such as poplar. Each will act as a natural barricr to fire helping to contain the burn within a predetermined area. Values - nearby: values require protection strategies. Values may include buildings (cottages, camps, outfitters), mature forests suitable for harvesting, wood already cut, plantations and endangered wild life species. At Pearly Lake, a nearby heron rook- ery (breeding area) was a deter- mining factor in timing the burn. It had to be delayed until the young birds were capable of fly- ing, thus ensuring their escape from harm. 'Fuels - the amount, distribu- lion, size and species of logging debris (slash) determines the intensity of a burn. The moisture Pet Talk By Alice Scott _ Every pet has a bad day, just like we do. Even the best-trained pets get sick or break house-train- ing. Here's a few hints on how to clean up the mess. 1. Mix a tablespoon of liquid detergent in 1/2 cup of warm water. Moisten a white towel and dab the spot lightly. Don't rub or scrub, because this can distort the carpet texture. Alternately dab, then blot with a dry towel. contin- ue the process until the color transfer stops. Then cover with dry towels. 2. If color does not transfer, try the same "dab and blot" tech- nique using 1/2 cup white vinegar mixed with 1/2 cup warm water. If color transfers, continue the process as above. 3. If neither 1 or 2 shows color transfer, try an all-purpose spot remover (neutral PH). Apply the spot remover to the towel. A good vacuum is essential when you own a pet. Vacuum doorways and heavy traffic areas twice a week. This helps to control pet odors. There are many products on the market that can help you deodorize your carpet. "Love my Carpet Rug and Room Deodorizer" is easy to use. Just content of these fucls is most important - too wet, they will not burn; too dry, they may burn too intensely or deep. Weather - this single element is the final determining factor on when a burn takes place. Weather leading up to the day of burning is closely monitored. A portable, automatic weather installed on the burn site many weeks before hand, ensured accu- rate and local information. This is crucial as a burn will be rescheduled if too little or too much rain occurs. It will not be ignited if too windy. Other condi- tions affecting burning are humidity and temperature. The smoke column at Pearly Lake was a culmination of many factors, and much preparation. It is now' the responsibility of resource managers to assess the results of the burn to decide what further work, if any, is required. The site will then be ready for seceding or tree planting in the spring of 1990. sprinkle it on your carpet and vacuum.
