WillowWood Gift Shop In Town for the Holidays

Many of WillowWoods customers asked that the shop be located in a more convenient location, so Elaine Shannon, owner of the store, has temporarily relocated the shop to the Mt. Hayes building, next to the post office.

With new paint, carpet and fragrant aromas radiating from the candles, opening the door into the tiny shop has been what many have commented on as a surprisingly pleasing experience. With inflation on the rise, WillowWood has done the opposite. "Wholesale is being offered to the consumers who shop early. Hundreds of items are priced at cost. And as always, our loyal customers are treated as such. If I can get a deal, they will too."

Already a licensed distributor for Greenleaf, Boyds, and 3 American Weaving companies, new licensed gift lines include John Deere, Nascar, Ducks Unlimited, & Red Hat. So if you have been wondering what this store is all about, now is the opportunity to visit the shop and do a little Christmas shopping. Ongoing opening special includes a free 2006 desk planner to first 50 customers reaching $50.00 in purchases (does not have to be all at once.)

Currently open Thurs.10AM to 4PM, Friday & Saturday, 10AM to 5:30PM.
Additional hours will be added in Nov.
Parti Lite orders can also be placed at the shop. Catalog and order forms available.

Fungus Gnats

Many folks have noticed rapidly growing populations of fungus gnats that have entered homes since the weather has turned colder. Fungus gnats are small, fly-like insects about 2-5 millimeters in length. They breed and live in moist, humid places such as greenhouses, houseplants, leaf litter, compost bins, and sink drains. They often come inside in the fall and are attracted to common household items, such as ripening fruit. They enter even the cleanest and tidiest of kitchens and homes at this time of year.

The female lays her eggs in decaying plant tissue or decaying material on the soil surface. The larvae hatch within a few days, are small and white, and will develop into maggots over 12 days. They pupate and in a cocoon on the soil surface or underneath it. They then mate, lay eggs, and live for about a week. This rapid life cycle only takes 2-4 weeks, which explains why you can discover a booming population in a short period of time.
Fungus gnats damage plants when the maggot phase of the insect feeds on plant roots, root hairs, and the base of the stem at the soil line. They are pests as they fly around your kitchen or bathroom. Reducing the moisture and humidity of the areas that you find fungus gnats, and working to increase drainage of houseplant soil, sinks, and drains will help reduce favorable habitats for the fungus gnat. Cleaning basins well and letting household cleaners sit in the sink’s p-trap overnight will discourage fungus gnats.

Ways to combat the fungus gnat include filling a baby food jar about 7/8 full with water, adding 1 tablespoon cider vinegar, and leaving it open near where your pests congregate. The trap may also be placed near houseplants to kill adults. This should take care of the population within a few days. If you have a large population, refill the trap with a fresh water and cider vinegar concoction after a week. You can also use neem oil, an organic pest control product derived from the neem tree, or bT, a biological control, to fight the fungus gnat population.

Help your houseplants resist fungus gnat egg laying and infestation by scraping off about ¼ inch of fungal buildup on the soil surface and replacing it with sand, vermiculite, or perlite. These materials dry out easily and will not provide the humid surface environment that fungus gnats prefer to lay eggs and pupate in.

For more information, or any other questions about horticulture and insects, contact the Cooperative Extension Service in the Jarvis Office Center at 895-4215. Happy growing!

Dracula
By Steven Dietz from the nove by Bram Stoker, Directed by Andrew Cassel

Fairbanks Drama Association and Fairbanks Children's Theatre, Inc. Oct 21, 22, 28, 29, Nov 4, Nov 5 Sunday Matinees at 2 PM on Oct 23, 30, and Nov 6

This new adaptation restores the suspense and seduction of Bram Stoker's classic novel to the stage. As Count Dracula begins to exert his will upon the residents of London, they try to piece together the clues of his appearances - in a valiant attempt to save themselves from a hideous fate. Rich with both humor and horror, this play paints a wickedly theatrical picture of Stoker's famous vampire.

The rock work behind Cindy is the new fire place surround in the library - doesn't it look great? Alex Glushko did it - we are so impressed with his
 work! Friends and family sent a ton of flowers for Cindy on the big day,  too.

Cindy signed books for almost six hours and still ended up taking home over 100 more to finish autographing. She just had to reorder so she'll have some on hand for her events in Fairbanks - she was down to her last couple of books at the beginning of this week...by golly, she's famous and  we're all so proud!

Repotting and Propagating Houseplants

After your houseplants have enjoyed a summer full of light and growth, fall is a good time to give them some attention to help reduce the stress of growing in the upcoming dark, cold, winter months. Repotting and propagating at this time of year is a good idea because we still have enough true sunlight and moderate temperatures to help the plant adjust to new growing conditions and to lessen transplant shock.

Repotting a houseplant is a good way to encourage healthy growth. If your plant wilts soon after a thorough watering, or if you can see roots penetrating the bottom of the pot, it is time to repot your plant. New leaves that appear smaller and smaller are another indication that you need to repot the plant. You should only increase the container size 1-2 inches larger in top diameter at a time, and make sure to use a clean container. Repotting into a container that is too large encourages inefficient fertilization and watering, and the moisture retained by the excess soil may lead to overwatering problems.

Before repotting, cover the drain holes of the container with small stones or broken pieces of clay pots. Fill with just enough soil so that the top of the root mass will rest within one inch of the top of the container. If the root mass is coiled around the pot, loosen the roots gently with your fingers and spread them radially in the pot. Finish the job by covering the root mass with soil, and then gently firm the soil around the roots with your fingers. Water thoroughly. You may need to add some additional soil after the soil mixture and roots settle into the new container. When you are finished, place the plant in bright, indirect light to reduce the transplant shock, and do not fertilize for 3 to 4 weeks while the fine root hairs recover.

When you repot your plants, you may find that your plant has reproduced, and the original shoot has made several others. It is fun to share starter plants with other gardeners, and you can gently separate the new shoots from the original plant for repotting. Other ways to propagate new plants include rooting cuttings and airlayering.

Propagating cuttings of houseplants is a form of pruning for the mother plant, as well as a great learning activity for both adults and children. To root a cutting of a plant, such as a spider plant or philodendron, prune leggy or excess growth from the plant. Make a clean, sharp cut just above a leaf node, at a 45-degree angle. Clip off the bottom few leaves, and place the cutting in water in a glass jar or clear container in bright, indirect light. You can watch the roots grow. After a mass of roots has formed in the container, your plant is ready for transplanting into soil. This process may take from a week to a month, depending on the variety and growing conditions. For more specific propagation techniques for various houseplant varieties, call or come in and we will help you find detailed information on the appropriate methods for each plant type.

For more information, or other questions regarding horticulture and insects, contact the Cooperative Extension Service, located in the Jarvis Office Center, at 895-4215. We have some great free publications about how to care for your houseplants during our Alaskan winter months. Happy growing!

Delta Community Choir Rehearsals Begin

The Delta Community Choir announces the beginning of this year’s rehearsals for the Christmas season. Rehearsals will be on Thursday nights, beginning on October 6th, at Ft. Greely Chapel from 7 to 9 p.m. As in years past, a few Tuesday rehearsals will be added in late November to help prepare the choir for their annual Christmas Concert which is scheduled for Thursday, December 8th.

“We have such great community talent every year!” says choir director, Kathy Sharp. “Last year’s choir had over 40 members and I’m really looking forward to working with them again. It’s always rewarding and we have so much fun!"

Access to Ft. Greely will be accomplished through the use of an established choir roster. Potential members are urged to contact Lisa Lewis, Ft. Greely Chapel (873-2476) prior to the first rehearsal, with their name and social security number, to aid in this process.

Choir membership is open to all adults and mature high school students in the community. The ability to read music is helpful, but not necessary. All that is required is a personal commitment to attend weekly rehearsals and join in the fun! If you are interested in being a piano accompanist, please call the director at 895-4911 to obtain music. All other questions should be e-mailed to ksharp@wildak.net.
