This month' s Cover drawing is a new oneby Peter Inman of the War Memorial - afitting r.em.inde r that November 12th willbe kept as Rememb'r anc e Suuday. As theyears go by the number of people whoremember the war diminishes but we do wellto remember those who paid the Supremesacrifice that we might enjoy freedom.

We are pleased to know that our coverpictures are noticed, even if not alwayswith approval! Last month, for example, atleast Que of the rai Lway enthusiasts inour community spotted that the L. N.E. R.boiler and buffeJ: beam were accompanied bya G.W.R. cab and tender and that the"composite" engine was travelling throughan L.T'1.S. station. What a pity that theSouthern Railway could not have beenincluded somehow! Seriously though we aregrate£ul to all our artists for their hard"york and we certainly like them to usetheir imagination and share it with us.

ROADS REPORT.ABBEYDALE. ROAD SOUTH.

We are assured that eventually the surfaceof Abbeydale Road South will be improvedand that it will all be worth waiting for.It is certain however that it will be theSpring of 1990 rather than earlier. In themeantime take care, watch your speed andtake notice of any warning signs thatthere may be.

QUEKB VICTORIA ROAD•.

Be very careful of the narrowing of thisroad part way up from Mickley Lane ! Theprotection of a single flimsy post ishardly adequate against a steep dropbeyond. Complaints have been directed atthe Local Authority but in the meantime wedon.' t want. to lose any of our readers instich a dramatic way!

~~~~

The railing at the corner apposite the ~Bank and neighbouring premises is intendedto protect pedestrians against traffic.More than one driver has tried to removethe railing in unfortunate ways. The LocalAuthority have promised to improve thelayout to protect both pedestrians anddrivers 60 we look forward to this -soon?

LOCAL BUSES.

Don Clare. acting on behalf of the TotleyResidents Association. haS been enquiringabout the problem of "bunching" of buses.The difficulty arises from extensiveroadworks which are cut"rently in progressin various parts of the city. There is notruth in the rumour that they are miningfor the old tramlines which are buriedbelow the surface as a preparation for thenew "super-tram"!

There is no likelihood of the immediatewithdrawal of the recently introduced Mi7service. Nevertheless on a long-term basisincreasing use of the service would makeit more secure and could even lead to amore frequent and extended timetable.

~ty garden overlooks the Derbyshirecountryside and for years I have enjoyedboth feeding and watching the birds. I soenjoy the antics of the tit family,greenfinch. Chaffinch. sparrows and alsooccasionally nuthatch, jays and awoodpecker.

HOwever from about the middle of Septemberall the birds have disappeared except fortwo or three sparrows and a few starlings.

Can anyone offer an explanation?

Iris Scriven.MOTHER BOOK.

The Editor has found this small corner tosay that he has had another book published

"Whirlow Grange a History of theDiocesan Conference Centre". It doesactually have a flavour of Totley about itfor the original owner of Whirlow Grange -long before it was a Conference Centre -had an interest in Totley Vale (now TotleyGrove) and died there in 1869. The hookcosts £2.50 and of course is primarilyabout the last 35 years or so in which the

,As I write this the long dry summer/autumn18eems to be coming to an end as the first

sustained wet weather since April 'hasreally damped the dust. It must beadmitted that many cereal and Oilseed Rapecrops desperately needed water as theyeither failed to germinate or struggled tokeep alive in the dry conditions.

We normally associate the start of Ihaymaking or cereal harvest: as the evenz s ..most likely to cause a period of '!vetweather. but this year cur start of potatoharvesting has proYed to be the" mosteffectual rain-rne_king ;rituaL We are nowapprox. half way through with yields of 12T'cmnes per acre expected - well down onlast year. This is fairly generalthroughout the country with totalproduction likely to be 5% ~ 6 millionTonnes, \ million less than last yearwhich is already reflected in much highe;prices, which will continue to rise as weenter the new year.

The "Daventry Nuns" have highlightedanother problem for producer and consumeralike as the new Salmonella testing schemebegins to have an effect. Because it is sostructured as to require smaller producersto test regularly a much higher proportionof their flock than those who have 10,000p Ius hens in one house. the mast I ike lyoutcome is that the big Ifbattery"producers will expand as the smaller unitis made uneconomic due to the cost oftesting and the "aggro" the procedurecauses. One of my friends in the animalfeed trade thinks egg pr-ices will rise to£2 per dozen in the New Year because ofthis, but 1 think he is exaggeratingsomewhat! The annoying part of the wholesaga is that millions of untested eggs,some known to be infected. are still belna-.•. .,' b

l,mported into this country which makes a,mOCkery of the scheme.

IOnly a few of last ye ar s lambs now remainlas the Tups are put in with the ewes to

produce next years crop, d.ue at the end of. March.

Ve have ploughed out the gooseberry bushesplanted in poor conditions two years agobecause of their unfruitfulness. They willbe replaced shortly with the varietyCareless, a mid,.,season. high yieldingvariety. We also have some Glen Pr o.s eriraspberries to plant - this late varietywill extend OUr picking season.

••GARDENINGWe've had quite a good summer in thegarden. the onions were excellent.! hadone which weighed in at over 3 Lbs - mybest yet ! Celery is doing fine J dahliaslooking really splendid and a nice crop ofbeans. but the high spot this year is thefact that the French Walnut tree given tome as a small 4 yr old sapling by a goodfriend 7 yrs ago has produced nuts far thefirst time two of them! 1 've plantedthem in the hope that more will develop.Well, 1 can live in hope like mostgardeners! I hope you have enjoyed yourgarden as much as we have. Now is the timefor ground work for next year.

Lawns~ Scarifying and spiking can becarried out on established lawns ifweather permits"

* If you are going to be sowing seed nextspring, prepare the site now. Dig andlevel the ground, removing stones andweeds.

* Rake leaves off the lawn and compostthem.

.••If you've made your final cut. makesure your mower is really clean beforeyou put it away. This is also a goodtime to have it overhauled.

Flovers~ Fallen leaves can be verydamaging to plants still growing. Theyharbour slugs and induce rotting soremove as many as you can.

* The first keen frost will be with ussoon. Protect tender perennials withstraw or bracken. Hedgehogs will stillbe about so resist the temptation toput down slug pellets until it is cold

* Check stored dahlia tubers. Cut offrotten portions and dust with fungicideif necessary.

* Re-firm autumn planted wallflowers andpansies if frost has loosened them.

Greenhousem Inspect treated bulbs such ashyacinth and crOCllS. Check that rootshave been produced and shoots havestarted to form. Bring them into lightcool greenhouse for growing on.

* Get into the habit of checkinggreenhouse temperatures. Install athermometer - best is the min-max type.

* Ventilate the greenhouse freely duringwarm sunny spells - remember to closethem at night.

* Check regularly for pests and diseasesand use a gr.eenhouse fumigant ifnecessary.

* Continue feeding plants that will beflowering during the winter.

T(Psl* Water sparingly and avoid splashing

leaves. Don't let seedlings dry outthough.

Fruit. Bush fruit which was summer prunedcan be finished now, this includesblack and red currants and formallytrained apples and pears.

* Protect your fruit bushes and treesfrom pecking by birds which oftenstarts this month.

* Dig up rhubarb for forcing and leave aDsoil surface to be frosted.

Vegetables. Mulch asparagus with a 2 in (5cm) layer of well rotted manure orcompost.

* Check vegetables in store. Remove anyshowing signs of rotting.

* Earth up leeks if not done last month.* Remove yellowing leaves from brassicas

and protect cauliflowers by bendingleaves over the developing heads.

* Pot up parsley and mint for growing oneither on the windowsill or greenhouse.

'* Clear away all the debris to preventpests breeding in it and start winterdigging. Plan out where you areplanting produce for the Totley Show.

Trees and Shrubs are at risk in coldweather. A good deep mulch over theroot area will be most beneficialm

* Move deciduous trees and shrubs on dayswhen soil is moist but not too wet andwhen there is no danger of frost. Tryto keep as much soil round the roots aspossible. Firm and stake well.

* Move tubs of· bay, hydrangeas~ fuchsiasand other less hardy shrubs into alight frost free place.

* Rake up a.nd burn fallen leaves fromrose-beds ~ This will destroy black spotspores.

Houseplants. Try to avoid fluctuatingtemperatures. These can be maredamaging than too hot Or too c.old. Keepplants out of draughts.

* Foliage plants should be keptmoist. Let the top of compostslightly in between watering.plants need to be kept moist.

* Spray plants every few days with tepidwater except hairy leaved plants andthose in flower.

"* Keep a look-out for pests and spraywith house-plant insecticide. Don't usegarden chemicals for house plants.

That lot should keep you out of mischief!Cheerio for now.

A .,'" ,••••••••PROBLEM"-~."T ""' "" _

The Methodist Church in Totley Rise has aserious problem. We cannot accommodate thecongregation who wish to worship at thechurch each Sunday morning. About 12months ago the Church Members began tothink seriously about .•rays of overcomingthe problem. Having two services eachSunday morning was d i s'coun t ed on thegrounds that our w!ay of worship involvesthe whole Church family meeting togetherrather than creating two separatecongregations.Theoverwhelming demand'froTIlthe Church members was that we shouldextend our premises. Extensive research

TRANSPORT 17Transport 17 is celebrating its fifthbirthday with the purchase of a thirdminibus and further expansion of theservice to elderly and housebound people.

Transport 17 was started by a small groupof volunteers who purchased the firstminibus in 1984. By 1937 the demands forits use necessitated the purchase of asecond vehicle. The increase in. theservice has led to the es t.abLi.shment of apermanent office and the employment ofMichael Finn as a full-time co-ordinatorand driver.

Apart from Michael, Transport 17 is stillrun by volunteers and there is always ashortage of drivers and escorts for thebuses. Although some drivers are obtaine.dfrom the Employment Training agenciesthese are not sufficient for all thejourneys which are 1:equired. The arrivalof the third minibus ,d" 11 increase theneed for more driver,!L

Transport 17 are planning t.o expand theiroper-at.Lng area as part of a co-ordinatedplan to extend the minibus scheme to thewhole of Sheffield. Details are not yetfinalised but when they are. houseboundpeople in adjacent areas will be able toshare the freedom which is now enjoyed byso many people in Totley and Dare.

In the meantime Transport 17 needs thecontinued support which it has had fromthe whole community in the past fiveyears. If you can help with manning theminibuses. raising funds or organisingoutings or visits please call Michael on363332.

A 1i t tel' lout is such a pest,He makes it awkward for the rest.Orange peel he leaves about,It's slippery and it knocks you out.The fish and chips left on a walllook so unsightly; worst of all,the other day I saw someone tripupon a sHea of bread and drip.So if you spot a litter lout,Grab his coat and give a shout.Put him in the nearestbinjMake sure he's got a toothless grin.
