PMOTO CONT RtBUTCE JOE BUTLER {left), vice president of the Brunswick Arts Council, presents the council's check for $500 to officers of the Brunswick County A Symphony Chapter (left to right) Stephanna Tewev, Etherine Butler and Kay Brannon. Symphony Ticket Sales Help Finance Children's Concerts Volunteers across Brunswick County are raising funds to under write four local performances by the North Carolina Symphony later this year. The Symphony presents two free children's concerts in the public schools for fourth, fifth and sixth graders, in addition to two public concerts. Subscriptions, which provide ad mission to the public concerts, typi cally cover only about half the com bined cost of all four programs, said Stephanna Tcwcy, president of the local chapter. "Everytime someone buys a sub scription iu iJic concert series, they arc arc giving an extraordinary mu sical gift to our school children," said Mrs. Tewey. Tickets for subscriptions pur chased after March 1 will not be mailed from the Symphony's main office in Raleigh, but can be picked up at the door of the first concert on March 18. Single tickets will not be available in advance of the concerts. The March 18 event will be a pops concert at Hatch Auditorium at the N.C. Baptist Assembly, Fort Caswell. A classical concert will follow April 25 al West Brunswick High School in Shallottc. In future years concerts will continue to be held at two locations ? Hatch Auditorium and the Odell Williamson Audi torium under construction at Bruns wick Community College. Mrs. Tcwcy said some potential subscribers are hesitant about travel ing to the opposite end of the county from where they live. "I urge them to either take advan tage of the buses offered, or to buy a subscription and donate the unused ticket to a student or senior citizen who would otherwise not be able to attend," she said. Traditionally buses transport con cert-goers from the South Bruns wick Islands and Boiling Spring Lakes areas to the concerts at Hatch Auditorium. This year, buses will also be pro vided for concert-goers from South port and Oak Island who attend the concert in Shallottc. Tickcts are SI, payable to the bus driver that evening. To make bus reservations from the Shallotte area to the March IS concert at Hatch Auditorium, tic k - etholders may call Gene Russ at 754-6237.

I distinctly detected a "spring time" smelling breeze. If ihc warns i wc<uhcr (jocsn I tip you off to spring's arrival, then the activity of the Realtors surely will. I routinely get questions about landscape design and all other mat ters related to installing a proper landscape. A well- thought out and maintained landscape will increase the value and the marketability of your property. Realtors will often call this "curb appeal". I have read articles that claim peo ple form their opinions about a resi dential property in the first 30 sec onds of viewing and that makes land scaping very important (especially if you are trying to sell your house). The creation of a beautiful land scape requires imagination, planning ami follow -through. The primary objective of residential landscape design is to create functional and beautiful spaces that complement your home. The lirst step to creating a land scape is to inventory the environ ment around .our home. Make notes concerning soil types and fertility(eg. soil test), existing plant materials, orientation of your home in relation to the lot, topogra phy and any other factors you can think of that would influence plant growth or yard maintenance. A pro fessional landscape designer refers to this process as the site analysis. A poor site analysis will often result in a landscape that fails in its function and beauty. The second step requires that you evaluate your families needs and de sires in regards to outdoor living space. In other words, determine how much you use your yard. Do you have children? Does your fami ly do a lot of outdoor entertaining? Do you enjoy vegetable or fruit gar dening? Do you have a dog? Many people tell me that they like flower gardening but only spend 30 or so minutes a week in the yard. A flower garden will not flourish with only 30 minutes of care a week un less you have a very small bed of flowers. Assess your family needs first anil then consider the time you have available to spend working on main i.iining your landscape. A simple well-maintained land scape is aesthetically far superior to a complex overgrown mess. Once you have completed the site THE P? A KIT doctor I , C.BRUCE WILLIAMS . 1 Extension Area Turf Specialist and family needs analysis, you arc ready lor ihe actual planning of the landscape proper. Landscape design ers use scaled drawings for this pro cess but an organized set of notes will accomplish die same objective. Start by dividing your lot into three major areas: public, private and utility. The public area is that portion of your yard that visitor or passerby would see. The main goal of design ing the public area is to blend the ar chitecture of your home into the sur rounding environment in a aestheti cally pleasing manner. The focal point of the public area should be the front or main entrance to your home. Brightly colored flowers, statuary, pink flamingos and the like will distract the viewers eye away from the main focal point ?the front entrance. Public area landscapes should be simple and functional. The private area is usually located in the back of the house and should be considered as the outdoor living area for you and your family. Some designers like to divide this area into various sub-use areas: a natio for en tertainment, an ornamental flower garden, a children's play area, a veg etable garden, etc... A well designed private area is functional arid icfiecls your outdoor interests or needs (this is where you put the pink flamingos!). Plan the private area to fit you and your families lifestyle, hobbies, and recreational needs. GOLD and SILVER ?v ^CONNECTION .

Gar bage cans, clothes lines, utility shed, hrat pump and miscellaneous junk should be organized and partitioned off in the utility area. The ideal utili ty area is easily accessible and invis ible from the public and private ar eas. Fencing, lattice or shrubbery screens will often do the job. Once you have your areas plan ned, then you arc ready to begin fit ting plants to your design. Fitting plants to your home is the last thing you want to do in planning your landscape. Most nurseryman can easily tell you a dozen different well-adapted plant varieties if you can describe (form, height, foliage texture, bloom color, etc.) what kind of plant you want. Think of plant selection in terms of foliage or bark texture (coarse or line), foliage color, plant form, showincss of color, and the seasonality plant showincss. For example, azaleas are extraor dinary in the spring but for 340 days of the year they are simply green background plants. A well designed landscape will have points of inter est during all seasons of the year. Landscape design is complex and to gain a better understanding of the process additional study is re quired.
