MORE CANADA GEESE CONTROL
by Pat Lucas
In the July issue of Tee to Green I reported the possibilities
of controlling Canada Geese with artificial swans acting as
scarecrows. At this writing I can discuss this in detail based
upon actual experience.
After considering making artificial wooden swans, in early
July I found rubber inflatable swans, manufactured by Poolmaster, Inc. of Menlo Park, California and sold through pool
supply outlets. These inflatables were 28" high, painted, and
had an acceptable appearance. We mounted two on oval
pieces of 2" thick styrofoam, then anchored them together on
one side of our lake. Results were mixed. Many members
reported seeing flocks of geese attempting to land but veering
off when the swans were spotted. One morning a flock of
geese landed on the opposite side of the lake (swanless) but

kept their distance from our swans. It appeared to be
working.
However, I was never fully satisfied with rubber swans;
concerned with their leaking air or exploding from air expan­
sion in the July heat. I considered too, neighborhood children
using them for BB gun practice.
After further investigation, I discovered styrofoam swans
housing a wine display at our local liquor store. These were
just what the doctor ordered! Floatable, lifelike, just like the
real thing.
After several phone calls, I obtained some. Since their
bodies were concave, I altered them so they wouldn’t hold
rainwater (which really wasn’t a problem in July or August).

Innis Arden swans on patrol.

Our Mechanic, Art Schremeck, drilled a total of eight holes in
the bottom of the body, 13/32" large. Art tells me that the
holes should be reamed with a hot poker to smooth the walls
so the rough surface can’t trap debris, eventually plugging the
holes.
We then tied wire through the bottom and attached anchors
with rope. We placed a pair on either side of our lake. In a
couple of hours, one neighbor came over to the lake to “ see
the beautiful swans living on the lake.’’
Are they working? Well, they have been on our lake for

five weeks. In that time, we observed that three small flocks
have landed. Most of these, however, appeared to be young
geese, probably not wise to the ways of the world. You know,
the first ones to get zapped on opening day of hunting season/
The three flocks were easily dispersed with noise bombs.
Now, during this five week period, many members ana~
employees have advised me that they have observed flocks
beginning to land and then flying away. That was nice to hear
but it was great to finally see it for myself. It was about 6:30
one cloudy Thursday morning when I looked up and saw
about a dozen geese heading for the lake. They began
dropping at a 45 ° angle, wings spread like huge delta’s. Then
all at once they veered off, circled the lake and headed for the
Sound. That made it all worthwhile.
For anyone who may decide to try this approach at their
course, here are a few points to keep in mind. When anchor­
ing the swans, keep a couple of feet of free rope. This will

allow the swans to move around in a breeze and appear more
real. In researching Canda Geese last winter in several
hunting publications, it was repeatedly stressed how
intelligent the geese are. All blinds and decoys placed must
appear real, natural, and above all, unthreatening. It must
appear from the air that all is well, it’s O.K. to land. It was
reported that if a hunter’s setup of decoys looked the least bit
suspicious, the older, wiser geese would spot this and not
land. Using this rational, we are making our lake look unwel­
come for Canada Geese. The swans are one example. We’ve
strung wires across the lake at prime landing areas. We get rid
of the ducks whenever they are around. This is very impor­
tant. The hunting journals stress that the geese look for
“ signs” telling them everything is O.K. below. Contented
ducks swimming around are one of these signs. We scare off
the ducks with noise bombs manufactured by Marshall Hyde,
Inc. of Port Huron, Michigan. The noise bomb resembles an
M-80 firecracker, is shot into the air and explodes about 30
yards out.
If you decide to put out swans or wires, consider the flight
paths available to the geese. Any body of water having tall
trees near it has a built-in obstacle already. Place the swans or
wires on the unprotected side.
What’s next? Well, I plan to get one or two more sets of
swans to reduce the amount of open area in our lake. We also
have a wire strung across the lake which may or may not be
needed anymore. I understand that the swans are more
vicious when they have young around (I can understand this).
So, we may be looking for artificial young swans to sprinkle
amongst the mommys and daddys.

FIVE WAYS WE CAN INFLUENCE PEOPLE
Influencing people is something we do without exercise or
physical force. It just naturally happens. We influence people
around us all day long by various means. For instance:
Our attitudes—We all have a set of attitudes. It may show in

our posture. They could be revealed as we “ say what we
think.” Often it is simply the inflection in our voice—not
what we say, but how we say it. It has been well stated, “ You
can say anything if you’re careful how you say it.”
Our moods—When we are in a good mood, others tend to
become the same. When we are in a bad mood, the same
seems to rub off onto others. Wouldn’t it be a good thing if
someone could come up with a “ mood regulator” by which
folks could “ set” their moods for each day. We could make
lots of people happy by always being a good mood.
Our facial expressions—Look at your face from time to time
throughout the day. Are you pleasant to look at? Pleasant
expressions mean a lot. In consideration of those with whom
we work or otherwise associate every day, we might do well to
ask ourselves, “ Am I easy to look at hour after hour? How is
my appearance influencing people who have to look at me?”
Our interests—By their side interests, most people have the
time to make the difference between being mediocre or being
influential. The way we use little segments of spare time may
well tell a great deal about us, and, if properly used, could
surely make a great deal of difference in our lives and in the
lives of others.
Our behavior—According to top experts in the computer
field, we humans have set ways and patterns of doing things.
(In fact, the whole computer system idea came from a study
of the human brain.) It is said to some persons, “ He or she is
a gracious person.” This characteristic greatly influences
those with whom we come in contact. In fact, there is always
someone around who is in the position of readiness for some­
thing to happen to him or her. And you can make it happen.

An explosion July 22 at Diamond Shamrock’s Greens
Bayou Plant in Houston, Texas, caused extensive damage
to the Dacthal Unit. Greens Bayou is the only Diamond
Shamrock Plant worldwide that manufactures Dacthal, a pre
emergence herbicide that controls weeds on turf, ornamentals
and vegetable crops. As a result, Dacthal will not be avail­
able for the 1982 growing season.
Further information on the availability of Dacthal in the
future will be forthcoming, according to company officials in
the agricultural chemicals division.

PLAN NOW FOR CONFERENCE TRAVEL
If you read “ GCSAA’s New Winter Travel Program” in
the August issue of Golf Course Management, you know that
travel to GCSAA’s International Turfgrass Conference and
Show in New Orleans next January has been made simpler
and less expensive. The same is true for the association’s post­
conference vacation program, particularly for chapter groups
who wish to travel together.
The GCSAA Executive Committee is pleased to announce
that Delta Air Lines and Sports Programs International are
the two organizations that have been selected to deliver a
quality travel program to the GCSAA membership and
friends this coming winter.
When possible Chapters should try to arrange Group 10 or
Group 40 flights. Depending on the situation, savings of from
15% through 40% can be realized from these group 40 and 10
situations. A Group 40 night flight can realize over a 50%
savings in airfare.
Other information available from the two organizations
are:
What super-saver options are available — 15% to 35%
savings
What excursion fare plans are available — 15% to 25%
savings
What regular fare options are available.
Post-conference vacationers can choose from 29 resort ho­
tels in eight separate vacation destinations. You can vacation
in six Caribbean resorts — Freeport, Montego Bay, Nassau,
St. Croix, St. Thomas or San Juan — or two Pacific resorts,
Cozumal or Acapulco. You can choose from several firstclass resorts in each area, at rates as much as eight percent
below the best rates obtainable through any retail travel

agency. This plan also allows you a choice of standard, supe­
rior or deluxe accommodations and an optional meal plan at
most of the resorts.
For more information on the travel program and a list of
the resort options, refer to the August GCSAA Newsletter. If
you wish to make early reservations or ask additional ques­
tions, you can do so by calling Laurie Warren at GCSAA
Headquarters, (913) 841-2240 or write GCSAA’s travel con­
sultant, Sports Programs International, at 230 Park Avenue,
New York, NY 10169.

ROCK SALT vs. CALCIUM CHLORIDE
Q. What’s the difference between rock salt and calcium
chloride (beside the latter being marginally more expensive)?
A. While the two are chemically related, calcium chloride is
less harmful to vegetation and works somewhat better in very
cold weather.
A word of caution about both products. Don’t use calcium
chloride on black top. Prolonged use will cause black top to
disintegrate. As to rock salt, keep in mind that the following
species are least tolerant to its use; common privet, red and
sugar maples, most dogwoods, and white pine. If your drive­
way is lined with any of these species, don’t use rock salt. And
as a general rule, mix whatever deicer you use with sand or
cinders.
—Belmont Newsletter

EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
OFFERED BY GCSAA
One of the roles of the GCSAA is the collection and
dissemination of educational information to its membership.
With this in mind and at the request of GCSAA affiliated
chapters, four seminars have been scheduled for this fall.
They are as follows:
October 20-21, 1981 — Insect l.D. & Control — Boston, MA
October 28-29, 1981 — Disease l.D. & Control — Nyack, NY
November 4-5, 1981 — Insect l.D. & Control — Baltimore
November 10-11, 1981 — Disease l.D. & Control — Albany
As in the past, the Disease & Insect seminars are two-day
seminars and upon successful completion of the examination,
each will be worth two points toward Certification renewal.
In addition, the GCSAA has contracted all states in the
Union regarding their acceptance of these seminars as
adequate training to satisfy recertification requirements for
pesticide applicators. The states in close proximity to the
seminar sites who have accepted this training are : Connecti­
cut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, New York (pending),
Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. As with GCSAA
Certification renewal requirements, it will be necessary to
sucessfully complete the examination given at the end of the
seminar to receive credit.

TREAT YOURSELF TO THE BENEFITS OF SOLITUDE
Managers need
daily time alone
to replenish their forces
Loneliness is the state of mind many people dislike most.
But loneliness does not necessarily flow from being alone. A
recent study by Drs. Reed Larson and Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi of the University of Chicago, for instance, reveals that
when adolescents spend some time alone each day, they then
come back to their families and friends feeling more cheerful,
involved, alert and stronger.

The same is true of adults. How can you gain the benefits
of solitude?
• Schedule time alone each day. When you make your
next day’s schedule, put one appointment down for yourself
and make it for at least a quarter of an hour — preferably
longer. A good time is first thing in the morning or just before
you leave the office at night. But make sure only you are pre­
sent — no paperwork, review of the day’s activities or worries
should be allowed in. Build time alone into each day’s sched­
ule — and consider that appointment just as important as any
other.
• Look fo r places that will give you some moments o f pri­
vacy—a nearby park, an art museum, a house of worship, the
reading room of a public or college library. Or, if you drive
along a scenic route, leave time to pull over to the side of the
road and contemplate the view.
• Learn to clear your mind o f constant chatter. This is of
primary importance. If all of your solitary moments are taken
up with telling yourself what must be done, what should have
been done, what’s wrong — or even what’s right, you have a
constant companion chattering away in there. If that is the
case, get your attention off the static by staring at one spot or
closing your eyes, while concentrating on your breathing.
When distracting thoughts crowd in, push them gently away.
In a short while, you will begin to feel refreshed — and re­
juvenated.
