'Very, very good shape' financially: Estero Fire Rescue District commission keeps same tax rate
While other Lee County fire and rescue districts struggle to maintain services, Estero sits in an enviable position.
The south Lee County community is experiencing growth, with property values going up at a rate of 8 percent. That could mean about $735,000 more in tax revenues for the Estero Fire Rescue District (EFR).
Fire commissioners agreed Wednesday to keep the millage rate at 2.1881 for the proposed 2014-15 budget, which estimates $11.8 million in revenues and $11.3 million in expenditures. It won't be finalized until the last budget hearing on September 22.
For the average Estero home valued at $250,000 (much higher than the county median of $170,000), the EFR tax levy would be about $547. That might be a few dollars higher than the same homeowner paid last year. Although the millage rate remains constant at 2.1881, individual property owners will pay more if their assessed values have increased.
A so-called "rollback" rate of 2.0981 would keep the district's overall budget the same as last year's, but commissioners opted to stick with the current millage rate, planning to use extra revenue to strengthen reserves and provide for future expenses, including three additional firefighters this year and a fifth fire station within the next four years.
"There will be a lot of tweaking in the budget before we get to September," Fire Chief Scott Vanderbrook said. "Where we are financially, we are in very, very good shape."
That's not the case for many other Lee County fire districts. Lehigh Acres and Bayshore are both considering implementing a new fee to make up for severe budget shortfalls and avoid extreme cuts in services.
"I'm pretty confident we're one of the best districts financially in the area, based on our reserves and our practices in the last five years," said Vanderbrook.
Estero's return to growth should help even more. The community is again on the fast track, with much development happening along Corkscrew Road. Last year, new home permits in Estero reached 448, the highest number since 2006.
The Preserve at Corkscrew, just west of Bella Terra, is nearing sellout on the 441-home community, while Corkscrew Shores, east of Bella Terra, will add about 660 homes. Estero Place, being built at the corner of Corkscrew and Three Oaks Parkway, will bring another 102 homes.
"The south part of the county appears to be the place to be," Vanderbrook noted.
The time is right to bring the number of firefighters back to the 2008 staffing level, he added. Three positions, lost to attrition, were left vacant to save money during the economic recession. Vanderbrook proposed adding those firefighters to the budget for 2014-15. The district also needs to fill two currently vacant firefighter positions. About 60 firefighters have applied for those highly coveted jobs, Vanderbrook said.
The district's call volume increased by about 5 percent last year. With the vacancies, Estero's 46 firefighters have been ordered to do mandatory overtime, which thrills some and disgruntles others, Vanderbrook noted. Hiring three additional firefighters will add about $208,180 to the budget.
"I think the time is right to do this now," said Commissioner Bruce Philp, noting Estero's growth potential and healthy financial standing.
While nothing has been added to the budget for a new fire station, Vanderbrook is looking at several options along Corkscrew Road. The ideal location would be between Burgundy Farms and Six L's Farm, near Old Corkscrew Golf Course, he said.
The chief has been in discussions with landowners and is looking at a number of financing options, including paying cash from the district's $3.6 million in reserves, a lease-to-purchase agreement, borrowing funds, a public/private partnership or donation of land.
"None of that has been budgeted because we're looking at three to four years down the road," Vanderbrook said. "If we find we could acquire the land halfway through the year, it would come back to the board at that time."
Vanderbrook also has met with Estero leaders to discuss the possibility of the new village's government operating from EFR's administration building on Three Oaks Parkway. While the vote doesn't happen until November and a village council wouldn't be elected until March, a Transition Committee of the Estero Council of Community Leaders (ECCL) is looking at options.
If voters elect to become a municipality, the future village of Estero will likely start with three paid administrators: a city manager, a financial clerk and an administration assistant. The rest will be contracted out.
To accommodate this small government's needs, the fire district would likely need to partition some additional offices, help with human resources and hire a part-time clerical person and a full-time prevention officer for code enforcement, Vanderbrook said.
"Of course, they would be paying us for those services," he noted, so none of those things are included in the current budget proposal.
Another item Vanderbrook asked commissioners to consider is installing an exhaust system in the bays to more efficiently pump fumes outside. The stations were designed with fans in the ceiling, many of which no longer work, he noted. EFR failed to get a grant for the $68,000 exhaust system last year but will try again, he added.
"The soot on the walls, it's not good for our employees or good for our gear," Vanderbrook said.
Budgeted expenses for 2014-15 include three staff vehicles due for replacement, an audit of EFR's new financial software and a 4 percent pay increase for non-union employees, excluding the chief. An administrative chief position may be added at a cost of $169,458 in salary and benefits, to update financial, human resources and operating policies.
"We've got a lot of administrative things that are sitting on the back burner that are not getting done," Vanderbrook said.
The district also needs to purchase two $2,500 Stryker patient chairs to use at the scene in place of backboards. All Lee County emergency workers are making the shift this year, Vanderbrook said.
"There will be a total new way we handle patients on the street," he said. "We will no longer be back-boarding patients, which we've done for hundreds of years."
Instead, these specially-designed, foldable chairs will be used to transport patients from the scene to the ambulance.

Cuba Lifts Ban on Home Computers 290

We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
The main problem I see is that they are using mostly unlicensed copy of windows, since Windows licenses can't be acquired in Cuba.
Hey, how come Cubans can order PCs and not have to pay for Windows? Heck, they are already once step ahead of us.
If the US was smart, strike and agreement with Cuba, given them decent pipe access via Florida so long as they put 1 million uncensored PCs on it in say 2-3 years. That will reach 1 in 11 Cubans. Free flow of information is a true friend of democracy.
Either share your wealth with us, or we'll share our poverty with you.
It applies to more than just 1st vs 3rd world.
Basically, the American restrictions on Cuba are total bullshit, and the rest of the world knows it. however, due to longstanding imperialist policies (like the Monroe doctrine) Cuba falls under the geographic hegemony of the USA. This was challenged by the CCCP from 1959 - 1991. When the Russians collapsed, Cuba had some "special times", like super special shitty times, that the draconian and retarded embargo by the USA only enhanced.

Gregor the Overlander (2003)
by Suzanne Collins
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The world created here is fine, but I really couldn't connect with the main character, who I found mostly irritating.
I wish there was a way to give someone 4.5 stars, because that is what I felt this story truly deserved. I enjoy Suzanne Collins writing, I wanted to take a step back and read the first series she wrote. Yes, I may be a little old to read this story, but I have to say, I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed it. The characters were well thought out, and very likable. The story was very original with plenty of suspense and lots of twist. Don't take my word for it, read it for yourself. I think you will enjoy it too!
This is an engaging tale of a quest by a small group to save many. Themes include family bonds, accepting differences, and the power of hope. Truly enjoyed!
Gregor the Overlander is a typical "hero's journey," quest-style book, but it's utterly original and imaginative. Gregor, whose father disappeared without a trace two years and seven months ago, follows his two-year-old sister into an air duct in their apartment building's laundry room, and they fall into the Underland, which is populated with pale, violet-eyed humans, giant cockroaches ("crawlers"), huge rats ("gnawers"), bats ("flyers"), and spiders ("spinners").
Gregor is desperate to take his sister and escape back home, but he is captured by the humans, who believe him to be a warrior mentioned in one of their prophecies. When the quest turns out to involve finding Gregor's father, he's all for it, and together with a small band of humans, crawlers, flyers, spinners, and even a gnawer, they set off in search of Gregor's father. But not all of them will survive this trip through the Underland...
This is a fantasy novel that draws on science and invention; Gregor's father was a science teacher, and Gregor was interested in most of his dad's explanations. It turns out some of these lessons can be put to good use in the Underland, even though it's very different than the Overland. This story has a satisfying conclusion, even as another prophecy - which indicates that Gregor will be returning to the Underland - is mentioned at the very end.
They could call him their guest, but it didn't change the fact that he and Boots were prisoners. [Guests can leave, prisoners have to escape] (Gregor, 54)
"Courage without caution makes for early death." (Vikus, 96)
"Each person carries their own destiny." (Vikus to Gregor, 113)
He could never hate people very long because he always ended up finding out something... (Gregor, 145)
What was fun about feeling the world drop out from under your feet? (Gregor, 147)
"Do not offer me a choice when you know none exists!" (Luxa to Vikus, 213)
"Mutual need is a strong bond. Stronger than friendship, stronger than love." (Ripred to Gregor, 220)
"If you are not trying to hold on to time, you are not so afraid of losing it." (Luxa to Gregor, 231)
"No one lives long in the Underland alone." (Luxa to Gregor, 233)
11 year-old Gregor is at home minding the baby – 2 year-old "Boots" – and his Grandma, since it's summer in New York City, his Mom is at work, and his dad disappeared suddenly two years, seven months and a specified number of days ago. A neighbour stops by to look after Grandma, so Gregor takes Boots down to the basement to do the laundry. So starts a terrifying journey to the Underland.
After falling for what seems like forever, Gregor manages to find his way to the city of the human (sort of) Underlanders, after encountering the gigantic cockroach inhabitants on his way. Fortunately he has not yet encountered the six-foot rats, although with his Overlander aroma, it's only a matter of time before they smell him out. It's a hostile world, but Boots manages to charm everyone, partly because she is afraid of no-one, and makes friends left, right and centre. So when Gregor turns out to be the warrior indicated in an ancient prophecy, Boots helps to enlist the aid of other Underlanders simply through being her own innocent self.
This is a great story, rightly garnering several awards and mentions. The story is well-paced, with parts of the dangerous quest divided into manageable chunks, although I'm not entirely sure of its suitability for bed-time reading. The description of the fights and battles are realistic, if short. Maybe fights with fantasy animals are ok. I know I had plenty of imaginary animal friends when I was a tween, just not vicious, smelly rats (not my opinion, just as depicted in the book).
I thought it a shame that a traditionally published book should let through the odd typo and oddities like "making up the word questers to describe the group". What's wrong with questors, which is a perfectly good word in the dictionary to describe people on a quest? I certainly knew it when I was twelve.
This is just the first of five Gregor the Overlander books. The next prophecy was hinted at in the last chapters. I'm not sure I'm going to read it, but I'm glad I read the first in the series – it was highly enjoyable and I recommend it to everyone not too afraid of the dark.

This irresistible first novel tells the story of a quiet boy who embarks on a dangerous quest in order to fulfill his destiny -- and find his father -- in a strange world beneath New York City.
When Gregor falls through a grate in the laundry room of his apartment building, he hurtles into the dark Underland, where spiders, rats, cockroaches coexist uneasily with humans. This world is on the brink of war, and Gregor's arrival is no accident. A prophecy foretells that Gregor has a role to play in the Underland's uncertain future. Gregor wants no part of it -- until he realizes it's the only way to solve the mystery of his father's disappearance. Reluctantly, Gregor embarks on a dangerous adventure that will change both him and the Underland forever.

RECIPE: store-bought jams & pies are 50% sugar
To me, the biggest issue in jams and pies is how much sugar they contain. Sugar is 10 times cheaper than fruit, that's why they usually add too much of it. Let's call a spade a spade here (let's not beat around the berry bush): Most jams and pies are cloyingly sweet. They don't just have a little too much sugar. They don't just have a medium amount too much sugar. They have a GREAT DEAL too much sugar!
Any review of a jam, jelly, or pie should give the grams of sugar/serving. All the big companies give this on their labels consistently. 1 serving = 1 Tbsp = 20 g (grams). In front of me is a jar of store-bought berry jam. Its label says "Sugars 10g" This is about average for store-bought jams. You see clearly from this that this jam is 1/2 sugar by weight. And it tastes like it. The fruit flavor is overpowered.
The same is true in soft drinks, desserts, cereals, etc., etc. No wonder a recent Time Magazine cover story said that obesity is THE major health problem in America. Big corporations increase their profits by dumping millions of gallons of cheap corn syrup into their products, more every year. (That�s why executives take home $multi-million per year, each!) Modern young people don't know what a delicious healthy jam or fruit pie tastes like any more.
(And watch out for the 'low sugar' jams that just add more water to their over-sugared jam, to bring down the grams/serving. Fruit has plenty of water in it, so if the label ingredients include "water," don't buy it.)
The best solution is to make the jams/pies yourself. Enlist the help of your children or grandchildren... Yes, pull them away from the computer screens, let their little arms and hands get some healthy exercise. Let them interact with the family. Let them build skills and confidence. If you don't pass on the old American tradition of home made jams and pies, who will?!
In closing, let's remember: Fruit costs $5/gallon, corn syrup (heavy sugar water) costs 50 cents/gallon. Which do we want to feed our families?
To add insult to injury, manufacturers dilute the flavor even more by using concentrated apple or grape juice in place of the main fruit. Unfortunately, US food labeling laws are very lax (compared to those of other countries), so this is perfectly legal. It's no wonder that these products have no flavor.
The only problem with making your own is that it's so difficult to buy fruit that has any flavor (at least here in Massachusetts, which has lost most of it agriculture).

Yarrow any tips on this plant
Any ideas or suggestion on how to care for this, I just planted about 4 yarrow plants small, I want them to become tall and wide, I know they are drought tolerant,but in the hot summers here reaching the 90's how much water is required for these plants, any ideas,? THanks
Well, they will need regular watering to become established, but after that I just leave the yarrow alone -- it makes it on rain water only.
I don't know what varieties of yarrow you have. I have the tall Parker's -- it stands up straight about 5 feet and has the yellow flat flowers, the moonbeam is like that but shorter. I have a red one that I love -- Weser River Sand stone -- beautiful color -- and stand up.
Some of the others -- Credo, Paprika, Terra Cotta -- tend to sprawl when they are in bloom. Eventually I cut them to the ground when the sprawling drives me crazy. I think that all of them should be cut to the ground after blooming. And yarrows need to be divided every few years.
Good luck
I agree with the above..they only need additional water the first year (till established). After that, I leave them alone.
I have mine planted in a wildflower area and they are thriving. The bed is in full sun, plus it is a dry, lean bed.
I do add mulch and compost in early spring.
Ours came with the house. I do nothing to them -- no extra water (and we've been in a drought for several years now), no compost, fertilizer or mulch, really. In fact, now when I move bulbs around and have to pull up some of the yarrow to do it, I don't even bother replacing the plant carefully, I just set it back roots down. For the past two years I've had to rip out patches and trade them, otherwise the whole bed will be overrun. Before I pulled up the landscape cloth, it was pushing up through it. So I don't think you need to give it any special attention. It may not be as invasive in your zone.

Here's the cow i promised
Hi guys,
Remember a while back i told you about a cow i made for my friend for her collection! Well here it is.The picture isn't very good,she said her camera is an old one.But you can kinda get an idea.It's one of those whimsicle cows.
Kathi~ that's cute as can be! Now what is it made from? Is it material that you painted? How darling. Wish I had one for my kitchen. ha I think if I bring one more cow in my DH is going to divorce me. ha I can always admire and wish though. Tell your friend thanks for sending it so we could take a look. I bet she smiles every time she looks at it. :) ~Anj
Just made from muslin that i painted.Saw the pattern in a book,but they wanted 15.00 for it.I looked at that and said no way,it's nothing but a triangle,and i have several books with cows,as i collect them also.So i just winged it.Just wish i had remembered to take a picture myself .
Thanks for looking
Kathi~ I've never painted on fabric. Did you use acrylic or something else? How did it work on the fabric? Would you say it was about the same or a little harder to work with? I'm just full of questions I know, but that's the only way I know to learn. :) ~Anj
Hi Anj,
No it isn't hard to do,and this is how i do it.I use acrylic paints with a textile medium mixed in the paint.This gives it better coverage and helps it to go on easier.I make the cow or whatever,sew it up stuff it,then paint it.I painted the muslin first,let it dry then painted the facial features and the spots and whatever else needed painting.Let dry and you're done.This also helps keep it cleaner as the paint seals the fabric and dust doesn't get imbedded in it.Then when it does get dusty,you can just use a clean 2 or 3 " paint brus and dust it off.Maybe once or twice a year.
You can also paint fabric flat with acrylic paint,wet it first then dip it into some paint that you've added either textile medium or water to to thin it out,let dry ,and wala,you've made your own fabric.
I have also made something,pinned it to a hanger then taken it outside and spray painted it with the base coat.
You're limited only by your imagination!!!
Wow! I wouldn't have thought you could do all that. Now I'll have to find a simple enough project that even I can do. Maybe I'll start with something like a muslin pillow. I think I can sew a pillow. ha Haven't sewn anything since high school home economics class. ha Thanks for all the info! ~Anj

Phaleria Clerodendron - Propagating by cuttings
rexedwardfairy(Zone 11)February 18, 2012
Right, all my research indicates that if I want to propagate a Phaleria Clerodendron (Native Daphne), then I need to marcot (aerial-layer, air-layer) it. And while I found a great link on how to do that over at Garden Express Aus, frankly, it sounds a little tricky.
So I've decided to try and propagate using tip cuttings. If anyone, anyone, anyone has done this successfully, please send me your tips/methods. Thanks in advance.

Re: When someone lists cook as a skill what is expected?
At three meals a day, "five different dishes" ain't gonna cut it for more than a day and a half. Sadly below a seven day trip, let alone 20.
If you are cooking for a crew, they do not want the same food every week, so the cook needs to have a bit of depth.
I've never paid a cook who did not do all the meal planning and provisioning, staying within budget.
Cooking well aboard a small craft at sea is the most challenging and difficult job aboard. If your crewmates are not happy with your cooking, then you are definitely not the most popular person aboard.
As to a chef, in my opinion, and mine only perhaps, the major difference between a quality sea cook and a chef, aboard boats at least, is presentation of the food. No cook I know has the time, energy nor sees the necessity of making flowers out of radishes to garnish a meal served in a gale! Honestly, they just end up rolling around the cabin sole, getting under foot.

South Africa will press for a clean sweep when they meet Pakistan in the third and final Test starting at SuperSport Park on Friday. After a comfortable 211-run win in the first Test in Johannesburg, South Africa were made to work hard before clinching the series with a four-wicket win in the second Test at Newlands in Cape Town. The second victory was achieved on a surface which captain Graeme Smith said did not suit his team, whose bowling attack is based on world-class fast bowlers. Centurion has traditionally favoured fast bowlers and the South Africans will feel confident they can prevail again in conditions more familiar than those in which Pakistan off-spinner Saeed Ajmal took 10 wickets in Cape Town. Coach Gary Kirsten told a South African website that the hosts wanted a pitch that was more seam friendly than Newlands. "We just don't want a pitch that turns a lot," he said.
Advantage South Africa
With greater batting depth and the world's two leading fast bowlers in Dale Steyn and Vernon Philander, South Africa appear to hold most of the aces, although they will be without Morne Morkel. Pakistan hope left-arm fast bowler Junaid Khan will have recovered from a thigh injury. He was Pakistan's most impressive bowler in the first Test, but missed the second because of injury. Given the success of Ajmal at Newlands, Pakistan may be tempted to pick a second spinner, left-armer Abdur Rehman, even if conditions are not especially favourable for spin bowlers.
In both Tests, Pakistan's third seamer has been a weakness, with Rahat Ali and Tanvir Ahmed ineffective in Johannesburg and Cape Town respectively. Centurion has been a South African fortress, with the home side winning 13 out of 17 Tests at the ground.AFP

Malaysia will continue to step up efforts to liberalize the economy as the country seeks private investments, Minister Idris Jala said.
Malaysia's government said it has identified private sector-led projects worth $444 billion that can turn around a slump in investment and help the country achieve developed nation status by 2020.
Malaysia said it plans to delay infrastructure projects, cut subsidies and may start a consumption tax, seeking to contain the budget deficit and bolster a shrinking current-account surplus.
Malaysian Airline System Bhd., the country's loss-making flag carrier, surged the most in three months after a minister was quoted as saying the government should sell its stake at the right price.
Malaysia Prime Minister Najib Razak said stocks and the ringgit would plunge if he loses next month's election, contrasting his government's pursuit of stable change with the upheaval that has engulfed the Middle East.

Romney Defies Peter Berg, Continues 'Friday Night Light' Theme Use (Photo)
Clear Eyes. Full Hearts. Continuing to use.
While Mitt Romney concentrated his attacks Tuesday night on President Obama, his personal assistant -- or as he calls himself, a "body man" -- took what seemed to be a subtle shot at Friday Night Lights creator Peter Berg. Last week, Berg fired off a letter ripping the GOP nominee for using in speeches and campaign signs the motto of the high school football team in the show, "Clear Eyes. Full Hearts. Can't Lose."
Polls In: Obama Wins Second Debate
And so, David Jackson, who uses his Twitter account to provide candid shots behind the scenes of the campaign, posted a photo of Romney touching a sign with the phrase in question as he exited a dressing room, a nod to the ritual football players perform when they leave the locker room and head to the field.
Whether the photo was from Tuesday night or not is uncertain; a photo posted just before the dressing room shot showed Romney behind the curtains of the stage, waiting to be called to the verbal arena.
Still, that he posted it at all may not sit well with Berg, who said in his letter to Romney, "The only relevant comparison that I see between your campaign and Friday Night Lights is in the character of Buddy Garrity -- who turned his back on American car manufacturers selling imported cars from Japan."
STORY: Obama and Romney Debate: Hollywood's Best Lines About Binders, Libya and Guns
Then again, Buzz Bissinger, who wrote the book on which the show is based and is Berg's cousin, told THR, "I love Pete but he is being childish and petulant. He should be flattered that Romney is honoring his show. Obama tried to use the slogan as well but unsurprisingly was ineffective in getting the message across."
Bissinger has come out in support of Romney, after ripping him earlier in the campaign cycle.

English cottage garden
Hi there all,
I need some help. I will be moving into my new home in about a month and will be quite busy this summer fixing up the yard. The house was built in the 20's and it is an English Cottage style house. The people that lived there prior to our purchase had ivy in the entire front yard. Very traditional to English homes but a little to blah for me. Could anyone let me know how to get rid of ivy for good. I have some bushes and trees in the yard as well and don't want to hurt them as well as would like to plant other plants in the yard soon after the excavation of the ivy.
Let me know if you have any advice that might help me make this English cottage home perfect for me!
Thank you,
What kind of bushes and trees? It makes a difference in the removal treatment. If they have shallow roots--you do it one way--tap roots another. This conversation has happened on GW before--on this very forum! next time, try doing a search--of course, even then, if youdon't frame your search just right it doesn't always turn up.
Here is a link to the previous discussion--perhaps that will naswer your questions!
Here is a link that might be useful: GWR ivy elimination thread
Now is a good time to get rid of your English Ivy while the weather is still cool. I would suggest long sleeves and gloves as ivy is know to harbor unknown critters ( spiders, slugs, rusty'49 Chevy trucks ). Rip, tug, pull with pruning shears at the side. After you have removed as much as possible this good old fashioned way it is time for the Roundup(tm). Wait for any new growth (ivy) to show this spring and spray. Early morning or late evening hours are the best when the weather is calm and no breeze/wind using a heavy mist to cut down on the drift factor.
( MPO, the use of herbicides if used properly, can be a valuable tool to the gardener, saving on countless hours of hand work, so spare me the mail please)
Besides Garden Restoration, you might want to check out Cottage Gardens (a fun opinionated, did I mention fun?, group ) as well they stay busy year round, even more so now that spring is near.
Greekmiss--Perry and I forgot to mention one additional hazard--the WORST case of Poison Ivy (hereafter known as PI)I EVER got was when I eliminated a bed of English Ivy this time of year. Prednisone is NOT pleasant! (I'm hyperactive enough, thank you!) PI is often mixed in with EI--and as it hasn't leafed out yet you don't see it. SO--in addition to gloves and long sleeves you need to take a shower when you finish--washing with Tecnu's Outdoor skin cleanser if you can find it--Dawn for Dishes if you can't. I ALWAYS shower down with Dawn after I've been digging--PI roots can run quite a ways from the plant. Tecnu is supposed to be the best--but my local pharmacy quit carrying it, so I've been using Dawn for several years--haven't had PI ONCE.
Perry's advice is "spot on" and Is EXACTLY how I removed the ivy at our former house. Just be sure to shower!
Here is a link that might be useful: Tecnu Home page
Adding a little bit to the good advice above from Perry and Mel: after you cut down as much ivy as possible and remove, use a 3-pronged hand tool claw to pull up the roots. There is also a long-handled tool with a claw-type end that we used last season called "The Garden Claw." Very useful in sod-stripping, loosening weeds in area to be prepared for planting, etc.
For an organic herbicide, use Burn-out or Scythe(acetic acid)- it's like a super-strong vinegar. Repeated mowing helps with regrowth, too.
I would suggest using a claw, knive or small saw to remove the stuff (and there will be an unbelievable amount of it)6-8 inches down. That way (thou you may have to remove a stray bit here or there over time,) you can forgo the Roundup.
