Looks like when you bring $750 million to the table, having a professional football team in Las Vegas doesn't look like such a bad bet anymore, does it now? Since Vegas' inception as America's gambling mecca, professional sports has eschewed the town, ostensibly because they didn't want to be hit with the gambling tar brush. And it wasn't without good reason -- in those days, the people taking bets weren't math nerds working for corporate, capeesh? Not that gambling hasn't always been pervasive in sports in any city anyway ... it's just that putting your sport in Vegas would be like locking yourself in a cage with a mama grizzly after she just saw you kick her cub through the uprights. (She bet the under.) On March 27, the great city of Oakland got kicked in its rotten teeth yet again by the Davis family, those leather jacket-wearing sadists who love nothing more than to bring pain to the NFL's most passionate, cospl ay ing

1. Pitcher Wandy Rodriguez set a Texas Rangers record in 2015 for consecutive batters retired (34). Who had held the team mark? 2. How many times did Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan lead a league in shutouts? 3. When was the last time the University of Indiana football team won a bowl game?
fanbase. Unable (read: unwilling) to hash out a deal with Oakland that made sense to both parties, the Raiders were able to secure the extra money in various ways (that don't really matter for the purposes of this story) in order to make the move. In the words of my great journalist friend Nadia Pflaum at the Ogden Standard: "Moving is expensive, yo!" The upshot is, the Raiders have a new stadium on the way, Las Vegas will have an NFL team and Oakland will plan ahead for 2030, when New Orleans and Jacksonville will need new stadia (Tampa Bay will too, but I doubt they'll pull up stakes). But breakups are never easy. Oakland fans are left cursing themselves for having fallen for it again. From the first Reagan administration to the Clinton administration, the Raiders were rotten in Los Angeles. Then they came back. Now they're leaving ... two years from now. With a season-ticket waiting list. Awwwkward. It get's weirder. The vote to allow the Raiders

When was the last time before the 2016-17 NHL season that the Philadelphia Flyers won 10 consecutive games? 6.

to move was supposedly heavily lobbied for by both Davis and Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. Davis is, by all bank accounts, considered to be the poorest of the rich, and he could not pass up the deal of a brand-new, municipally funded stadium. Jones, who pushed hard for the San Diego and St. Louis to Los Angeles deals, has vested interests in new stadiums everywhere: His entertainment ser vices company Legends handles the luxury box contracts. He's happy, the league is happy. San Diego lost the Chargers, but it can be calmed with soccer. St. Louis is a baseball town. Since Vegas went corporate, it's been one of the safest towns to host a sports team. The question will come down to fan base. It's a resort town, service-industry heavy and there's a high unemployment rate and a relatively small population for a NFL city ... less than half the size of Oakland's metro area. The NHL will break the ice, so to speak, and I see no reason why they shouldn't enjoy the same rapturous success that met the Atlanta Thrashers. But Mark Davis and the Raiders will stick around as long as someone is dealing. That's a bet you can always count on.

RIBBON CUTTING HELD FOR THE TAN SANCTUARY
Wednesday, April 19, 2017
FROM DOPE TO HOPE, A MAN IN RECOVERY The Marion County Sheriff 's Department is sponsoring a speaker on April 26 at Centralia High School (10:00), Salem High School (1:15) and Centralia High School Auditorium (7:00) for a community forum. Tim Ryan, author of From Dope to Hope, and the co-founder of a not-forprofit, A Man In Recovery, will provide a presentation for students at the schools and then for the community in the evening. Are you tired of the drug problem affecting your community? Do you have a drug problem and need help? Do you have a family member, loved one or friend that has a drug problem? If, you have answered yes to any of these questions, you are strongly encouraged to attend the A Man In Recovery forum. Tim Ryan is a successful entrepreneur, former nationally ranked barefoot water skier, and the father of four who lost everything due to his bad choices of
letting alcohol and drug abuse control his life. Tim ultimately let his demons take him on a journey to hell and back a number of times, which landed him in numerous county jails and the Illinois Department of Corrections twice. Tim finally surrendered to his disease in a prison cell where he was locked down 18 hours a day and became grounded in a life of recovery, living one day at a time. On his 21st month of sobriety anniversar y, he lost his son Nicholas to a heroin overdose and attended a 12-step meeting that same night to stay rooted in his recovery. Tim has a unique gift to command an audience, but also to get people to open up and talk about their struggles with addiction which enables him to guide them from dope to hope, helping one addict at a time. Tim Ryan is now a highly sought after speaker, a recovering addict that doesn't

Just hours after parades and other festivities in honor of the birthday of the country's founder Kim Il-sung, North Korea fired another ballistic missile. Seconds after it was fired, the missile failed. I'm sure this was a great embarrassment to the unstable leader of North Korea. Hmm... Unstable leader and unstable missiles. Kim Jong-un recently claimed North Korea is close to perfecting an intercontinental ballistic missile and nuclear warhead that could hit the U.S. mainland, causing even greater concern with the leadership of North Korea. Many believe that they could reach that goal in a few years, while Donald Trump is President. So what do we take away from this recent action? Remember that in 2017 alone there have been four missile tests since Donald Trump has been the President. The North Korean leader is crazy and unstable, making him even more dangerous, with only China having any control over this increasingly explosive situation. Donald Trump has made no comments on the latest action from North Korea. I'm not saying he won't, but at this time, I would say the
less said the better. On to the most recent protests (as if there haven't been enough) across the country. The protests were over President Donald Trump not releasing his tax returns, with the kooks in Berkeley, CA, New York City, and Chicago, IL being the hot spots. This makes me wonder who's paying for these outbursts of violence. Remember, it wasn't long ago when Rachel Maddow released a copy of Trump's tax returns showing the huge amount paid, making a total fool of herself. The fact is, extreme liberals have to protest against something. Maybe all of Trump's tax returns will be released after all of Obama's college records — including grades, funding and etc. — are released. All of these have been questioned by the right for years! But I don't recall any protests or violence on the streets. On to Neil Gorsuch... The Supreme Court Justice is slated to hear his first two cases on Monday, and by the end of this week, seven cases! In the news last week as well, it's been reported that the Feds may waive tests for new border agents. The federal government, under Trump, is now looking to bulk up
the borders by hiring 5,000 new agents. Hopefully, veterans will be first in line for these new additional jobs. For some reason, in the past it has been taking 18 months to hire an applicant. This all reaffirms another Trump campaign statement, "Our borders will no longer be open to illegal immigrants." On a few closing notes: Record taxes were collected in the first quarter of 2017 at a total of $1.5 trillion. Tax day this year is or was April 18, depending on when you read this column! And last, it's been reported that Melania and son, Barron Trump will be moving from Trump Tower into the White House this June after school is out. This will be the first time a young son of the President has lived in the White House since John John Kennedy, son of President John F. and Jackie Kennedy. Until next week. A special hello to June and Bill Riley. To comment on this or any column in The Shopper’s Weekly, please mail to: Editor, P.O.

Ministries by: Cliff Sanders
Seeing is Believing: 20/20 Vision Missouri is called “The Show Me State”. There is a saying that says, “I’ll believe it when I see it.” God knows human nature, so He gave many convincing proofs in the gospels, to attest to the fact of Christ’s resurrection from the dead. Jesus was crucified on Golgotha’s hill outside of Jerusalem. (Hebrews 13:11-12) The followers of Christ were devastated and grief-stricken. In fear, they met behind locked doors. What was it that transformed them from discouraged, depressed followers of Christ, into triumphant witnesses? They saw something that transformed their lives and turned the world upside down. I call it 20/20 vision. “On the evening of the first
7A
The Shoppers Weekly Papers Centralia / Salem Area
day of the week, the disciples were together with doors locked, for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you! After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.” (John 20:19-20) When they saw Jesus and he showed them the scars in His hands and feet and rivened side, we have this witness, “The disciples were overjoyed, when they saw the Lord.” See Jesus with a fresh 20/20 vision and you will be overjoyed! Examine some of the overwhelming evidence for the resurrection of Christ in John 20 WHO MOVED THE STONE? Mary Magdalene went to the tomb of Jesus while it was still dark and
was shocked to see that the large stone had been removed from the entrance. Who moved the stone? The scriptures tell us that an angel did. Why? It wasn’t to let Jesus out, but for us to see in and see that the tomb was empty. (John 20:1-2) WHAT DID PETER AND JOHN SEE? After Mary told Peter and John about the empty tomb, they ran to the tomb. John reached the tomb first and looked inside. They saw that Jesus was not there. But his grave clothes were lying there and the cloth that was wrapped around Jesus’ head was folded and laid there. (John 20:3-7) If someone had stolen the body of Jesus, they wouldn’t have bothered to unwrap it. No, the clothes, wrapped in layers of spices by Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea, were there like a glove without a hand. “Finally, the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed.” (John 20:8-9) WHAT DID MARY SEE? Weeping, standing
before the tomb, Mary bent to look inside, she saw two angels who asked her why she was crying. When she turned around she saw Jesus, but, at first, thought he was the gardener. But when Jesus called her name, she knew it was Jesus. “Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: ‘I have seen the Lord!’” (John 20:11-18) WHAT DID THE DISCIPLES SEE? That Sunday evening Jesus appeared to the disciples as they were together behind locked doors. “Jesus stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you!’ After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.” (John 20:20) The scars from the crucifixion convinced them that he was Christ, risen from the dead, just as Jesus said he would. See Jesus with the 20/20 vision of faith and be overwhelmed
with joy. Receive his peace, power, and purpose. (John 20:32-33) WHAT DID THOMAS SEE? Thomas refused to believe until he saw the Lord for himself. A week later Jesus once again stood in their midst and invited Thomas to see and touch the scars in his hands and side. Jesus said, “Stop doubting and believe.” (John 20:17) Thomas proclaimed, “My Lord and my God!” (John 20:28)
Jesus has a word for you. “Then Jesus told him, ‘Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet believed’” (John 20:29) See the risen Christ with the 20/20 vision of faith and be overwhelmed with joy! He’s alive!! Shalom, Cliff Sanders Eagle Life Ministries eagleslife8@gmail.com

Favorite Amish Dishes I love the Amish. In Amish country, life is simple and real. In these faith-based communities people work hard and strive for perfection in everything they do, from building barns to cooking with either vegetables from the gardens they have planted and tended to or meat they have raised. Some of my favorite Amish recipes are below.
Swiss Meat Loaf 1 egg 1/2 cup evaporated milk 1 tsp. rubbed sage 1 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. black pepper 1½ lbs. lean ground beef
1 cup cracker crumbs (round buttery type, approximately 24) 3/4 cup grated Swiss cheese 1/4 cup finely chopped onion 2-3 strips bacon, cut in 1-inch pieces
Preheat oven to 350° F. Beat egg in large bowl. Add evaporated milk, sage, salt, and pepper, and mix. Add beef, crumbs, 1/2 cup cheese, and onion; blend. Form into loaf and place in 2-quart rectangular baking dish. Arrange bacon pieces on top of loaf. Bake 40 minutes. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup cheese on top and bake 10 minutes longer. Serves 6.
Green Bean & Potato Salad 2 large potatoes 1¼ lbs. fresh green beans 1/2 cup chopped onion 2 T. fresh herbs of your choice — savory, basil, or thyme (optional)

1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley 7 slices bacon, diced 3/4 cup cider vinegar 1/2 tsp. black pepper
Peel potatoes, halve them, and cook 20 to 30 minutes or until tender. Slice potatoes while still warm; set aside. While potatoes are cooking, wash, snap, and halve beans. (If beans are very young and slender, leave them whole.) Steam beans until barely tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Refresh them in cold water and set aside to drain. Heap beans in middle of large platter. Arrange potatoes around beans. Sprinkle onion, herbs, and parsley over all. In small skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Transfer bacon and drippings to small bowl (there should be about 1/4 cup). To same pan, add vinegar and reduce to 1/2 cup over high heat. Return bacon and drippings to pan and add pepper. Bring to boil, and pour over beans and potatoes. Serve at room temperature. Serves 6.
New Lettuce with Sour Cream 1 lb. assorted young leaf lettuce 1/2 cup sour cream 2 T. milk 1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. cider vinegar 1/4 tsp. celery seeds 4 green onions, chopped, including some of the tops
Soak lettuce briefly in water to remove all the sand. Place in colander and shake out excess water, wrap in tea towel jelly-roll fashion, and place rolled towel in refrigerator 2 hours; lettuce will become very crisp. Combine remaining ingredients except green onions in small bowl and blend. Place chopped green onions on bottom of large bowl and top with lettuce. Pour over cold dressing and toss lightly. Chill until serving time. Serves 4.

2 cups cracker crumbs (see note) 3 T. minced fresh parsley or coriander 3/4 tsp. poppy seeds 1/4 T. black pepper Paprika
In very deep kettle, bring water, salt, and oil to full rolling boil over high heat. Sprinkle in noodles; return to boil. Cover tightly, remove from heat, and allow noodles to stand 25 minutes, or until tender. Drain in colander. Add 1/3 cup butter to noodle kettle and melt over low heat. Return drained noodles to kettle and toss lightly. Meanwhile, in medium skillet, melt remaining 1/3 cup butter over medium heat and add cracker crumbs. Stir and toast until crumbs begin to turn golden. Add parsley or coriander, poppy seeds, and black pepper, and blend. Transfer buttered noodles to serving dish, sprinkle buttered crumbs on top, and drift a bit of paprika over all.

April is Financial Literacy Month, and there’s no better time than right now to save for your future. The earlier you start saving, the more you can take advantage of compound interest — that’s like “free money” to power up your 401ks and other types of IRAs. Social Security helps secure your future, but it should only be a foundation for a more complete retirement plan. Part of financial literacy is having access to not just correct information, but your own personal financial information. Social Security has that. You can open your own personal my Social Security account at www.socialsecuritygov/myaccount and within a matter of minutes have access to your information from the comfort of your home or office. There, you can do many things, but the most important thing is to view your Social Security Statement. Your Social Security Statement is a concise, easy to read personal record of the earnings on which you have paid Social Security taxes and a summary of the estimated benefits you and your family could receive, including potential retirement, disability, and survivors benefits. Once you have an account, you can view your Statement at any time. You’ll want to verify that your recorded earnings are correct because your future benefits are based on your recorded earnings. In addition to using your personal my Social Security account, you can also prepare for a secure, comfortable re-

SOCIAL SECURITY LAUNCHES FIRST “NATIONAL SOCIAL SECURITY MONTH” IN APRIL Nancy A. Berryhill, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, invites everyone to celebrate the first National Social Security Month in April by taking five steps toward financial security at www.socialsecurity.gov/5-steps-towardyour-financial-security. During the month, Social Security will provide educational articles and video messages on its website featuring personal finance expert Suze Orman. Each message will provide the public with practical tips for developing a sound financial plan that includes Social Security as a foundation. “With retirement, disability, and survivors benefits, Social Security helps secure today and tomorrow for millions of people throughout life’s journey,” Acting Commissioner Berryhill said. “By hosting National Social Security Month, we hope to help the public understand their Social Security protections and promote financial education.”
The National Social Security Month campaign will emphasize the agency’s five key steps toward financial security: 1. Get to know your Social Security 2. Verify your lifetime earnings with a my Social Security account 3. Estimate your future Social Security benefits at my Social Security 4. Apply online for retirement, disability, or Medicare benefits 5. Manage your Social Security benefits On average, Social Security replaces approximately 40 percent of preretirement earnings. To enjoy a comfortable retirement, most people will also need income from other sources — like pensions, savings, and investments. Yet nearly a third of America’s workers have no money set aside specifically for retirement. Throughout the month of April, groups and organizations will join Social Security across the country to help
spread the word. The agency will be conducting social media outreach, including a Facebook Live Chat: Social Security will par-
ticipate in a Facebook Live Chat, hosted by USA.gov, on April 20, 2017, at 7:00 p.m. ET. The public may ask questions via livestream

of Charlie Brown and His Pals." Although my brother and I played the game a couple of times, it is in excellent condition. What is it worth? — Sam, Kileen, Texas A: Your game was issued by Selchow & Righter in 1959. It generally sells in the $20 to $35 range depending, of course, on condition and assuming it is complete. *** Q: I have a Canada Dry plate issued in 1958 to mark the golden anniversary of the company. It looks to be in pristine condition. I have been offered $35 for it. — Cody, Lakewood, Colorado A: I checked with several sources and they all seem to agree that your plate is worth somewhere in the $20 to $35 range. In other words, take the offer. *** Write to Larry Cox in care of KFWS, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803, or send e-mail to questionsforcox@aol.com.

Isn't It Dangerous to Give Pets Yeast? DEAR P AW ’ S CORNER: You recently told a cat owner that it was OK to give her pet yeast as a supplement. Yeast is supposed to be very bad for pets. Why did you recommend it? — Concerned in Cincinnati DEAR CONCERNED: This is a great opportunity to discuss the difference between live yeast and brewer's or nutritional yeast. You're right that live yeast, particularly dough leavened with yeast, can be a danger to pets. If, for example, your cat gets up on the kitchen counter where your soon-to-be
loaf of bread is rising, and eats the raw dough, trouble could be brewing. That dough may continue to rise in its stomach, and could cause a blockage in the digestive system that, if not treated immediately, could be fatal. Brewer's or nutritional yeast, on the other hand, is a "dead" yeast. Once it has been propagated (grown) in a medium like molasses (for nutritional yeast) or as part of the beer-brewing process (for brewer's yeast), it's pasteurized and dried. This stops the yeast from multiplying, while retaining its nutrients, like B vitamins. Brewer's yeast has either a powder or flake consistency, unlike active yeast, which is packaged as small granules. The amount of brewer's yeast to give a pet depends on its weight. Follow the dosage instructions on the package — typically the yeast is mixed in with a pet's food. Most pet formulations of brewer's yeast also
contain powdered garlic, which is said to help ward off fleas and ticks. Garlic can be toxic to cats and dogs, making it doubly important to follow in-
structions exactly and contact the vet immediately if a pet consumes too much. © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

by Samantha Weaver • It was 20th-century German poet and playwright Bertolt Brecht who made the following sage observation: "Art is not a mirror held up to reality but a hammer with which to shape it." • If you're like 83 percent of American pet owners, you believe that your pet is better at cuddling than your significant other. • According to
Guinness World Records, the world's largest snowflake measured 15 inches across. • The Bureau of Labor Statistics, the government's principal factfinding agency in the field of labor economics and statistics, tracks employment trends. Using nationwide employment data, the BLS created projections of which occupations are likely to increase
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The Lamb loves to be surrounded by flocks of admirers. But be careful that someone doesn’t take his or her admiration too far. Use your persuasive skills to let him or her down easily. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a good time to begin setting farreaching goals and connecting with new contacts. Aspects also favor strengthening old relationships -personal and/or professional. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A personal disappointment should be viewed as a valuable learning experience. Go over what went wrong and see where a change in tactics might have led to a more positive outcome. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Don’t leave projects unfinished or personal obligations unresolved, or you might find yourself tripping over all those loose ends later on. A relative has important news. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Expect a challenge to the usual way you do things. Although you might prefer the tried-and-true, once you take a good look at this new idea, you might feel more receptive to it. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Much work has yet to be done to polish a still-rough idea into something with significant potential. Expect to encounter some initial rejection, but stay with it nonetheless. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) There still might be some communication problems in the workplace, but
and which are likely on the decline. Unsurprisingly, healthcare and technology jobs are on the rise, while employment in manu f a c tu r i ng and farming is falling. It even identified 15 specific occupations as "fast declining." At the top of the list of jobs on the way out are locomotive firers — though the surprise for many may be that the job even still exists. Also included in the top 10 are telephone operators, switchboard operators, postal service mail sorters, and sewing- and shoemachine operators. • Those who study such things say that the average stalk of celery contains 6
they should be resolved soon. Meanwhile, that “tip” from a friend should be checked out. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A new relationship appears to need more from you than you might be willing to give right now. Best advice: Resist making promises you might not be able to keep. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) That restless feeling encourages you to gallop off into a new venture. But remember to keep hold of the reins so you can switch paths when necessary. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A demanding work schedule keeps the high-spirited Goat from kicking up his or her heels. But playtime beckons by the week’s end. Have fun. You earned it. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You’re beginning to come out from under those heavy responsibilities you took on. Use this freed-up time to enjoy some much-deserved fun with people close to you. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Before you get swept away by a tidal wave of conflicting priorities, take time to come up for air, and reassess the situation. You might be surprised by what you’ll find.

Seeding and fertilizing schedule
R
estoring lawns and gardens back to their pre-winter glory is high on many a homeowner’s landscaping to-do list. In much of the country, the best times to tackle lawn projects are when temperatures are moderate, like in spring and fall. These seasons also mark the best time to seed and fertilize. Planting and fertilizing new grass seed should be done when frost is no longer a concern and before frost arrives if you are planting in autumn. According to Roger Cook, a landscape contractor and contributor to This Old House magazine, sowing lawn seed should be done when the soil is warm, the daytime temperatures are moderate and you can keep the new seeds quite moist at all times. While grass seed can be applied in the summer, it is more challenging to get the seeds to take root and thrive at this time, as water is more likely to evaporate under the hot sun. Also, many weeds germinate in the heat of summer. As a result, the weeds can infiltrate areas of the lawn where you planted, compromising the look of your lawn. The process of reseeding and fertilizing your lawn is relatively similar if you decide to do so in late spring or early fall. • Rake the parts of the lawn you plan to seed and remove any debris or rocks. • Apply fertilizer to the cleared planting area. Use a rake or tiller to break up the soil and distribute the fertilizer to a depth of roughly two to four inches. Speak with a landscaper about which type of fertilizer you will need depending on where you live. Many fertilizers contain extra phosphorous to stimulate root growth in the lawn. • Moisten the prepared area and let the soil settle. You want the soil damp but not so wet that it causes the newly applied fertilizer to run off. • Begin to sow the grass seed according to the rate indicated on the seed bag for the type of grass you will be
growing. Choose a grass seed that will thrive in your climate. Certain seeds are more tolerant of drought and sunlight, while other species are better for shady areas or damper climates. Again, if you have any questions, consult with a lawn and garden center. • Spread the seed with a broadcast spreader. Some lawn experts recommend spreading the seed in parallel rows and then repeating the process again in rows set at a right angle to the first series of rows for the best chances of seed coverage. The seeds then can be raked into the soil, covered with a little more soil and patted down. • Water to keep the seeds damp. This may require watering twice or more per day until the seeds begin to germinate. Covering the seeds with about 1⁄4 inch of straw also can help keep the seeds moist, deter seed scavengers and prevent soil erosion. Remove the straw once the grass begins to grow. • Roughly four weeks after the seeds have started to grow, apply another round of fertilizer to replenish the top layer of soil with nutrients that may have washed away from the constant watering. Homeowners can employ a similar process to overseed a lawn in the hopes of producing a thicker, more attractive landscape. Any thatch and debris should be raked away, and the top layer of the lawn surface can be gently aerated. Top dress the lawn with a very thin layer of new soil and compost. Broadcast the seed over the prepared lawn and lightly rake the new seeds to help them settle into the soil. Apply fertilizer and water the lawn frequently to keep the new seeds moist. Once the seed has established itself, you can water the lawn for longer periods and less frequently to help develop strong roots. Wait for the lawn to reach a height of three to four inches before the first cut of the season. Many homeowners like to take on the challenge of seeding and preparing their lawns. But some may find the task is best left to the professionals.

Stay safe when landscaping
L
andscaping is typically viewed as a chore by homeowners, many of who enjoy doing some work on their lawns and gardens. But only few homeowners may recognize the potential dangers of lawn maintenance. The Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that more than 230,000 people per year are treated for various injuries resulting from lawn and garden tools. Common injuries include loss of fingers, lacerations, broken and dislocated bones, eye injuries, and burns. Many of these injuries are entirely preventable if homeowners prioritize safety when tending to their lawns and gardens. Understand the equipment Homeowners should not assume they know how to use all of the tools necessary to maintain lush lawns and bountiful gardens. Familiarize yourself with the proper operation of manual and motorized equipment by reading the owner’s manual thoroughly, making special note of recommended safety guidelines. Take some time to locate the power buttons and other parts by comparing them to illustrations in the guide. Once you feel comfortable handling the equipment, then you can begin to use it. Wear appropriate protective gear Failure to wear protective gear can lead to injury. Personal protective equipment includes gloves, eye protection, ear protection, boots, and a hard hat if necessary. When working during visibility conditions or at night, wear a reflective vest. Other protective items include a hat to shade your eyes from the sun’s rays. Sunscreen will protect the skin from UVA and UVB radiation. Long pants
and sleeves can guard against flying debris. Watch your surroundings Thousands of injuries occur to children and pets who get hurt around mowers. It’s best if children and pets remain indoors when homeowners are mowing or using other power equipment that may kick up debris. Children under the age of 12 may not have the strength or ability to operate lawn tools. Also, never make a game of riding a child on a riding mower. Nobody under the age of 16 should operate riding lawn mowers. Get approval before digging It’s difficult to know what is beneath the ground without having a property surveyed and marked. Digging without approval can result in damage to gas lines or water/sewer pipes. Always check with the utility company before digging trenches or holes. Unplug or turn off all equipment When not in use, keep lawn equipment off. Do not try to repair or fix a snag or obstruction in equipment while it is on. Don’t modify the equipment in any way, such as removing protective guards. Exercise caution with chemicals Follow manufacturers’ safety instructions when using pesticides or fertilizers. Avoid application on windy days or right before a rainstorm, as this can spread the product and damage the ecosystem. Keep people and pets away from treated areas. Maintaining the yard is both a necessity and a hobby. Homeowners who prioritize safety can greatly reduce their risk of injury.

Problems that can lead to lawn damage Running the mower in the same pattern over and over can cause ruts in the grass that lead to damage.
A
beautiful lawn is a goal for many homeowners. Some homeowners may find that lovely lawns may last momentarily, only to disappear when damage — be it pest-, weather- or child-related — sets in. While well-established turf can be resilient, even the most wellmaintained lawns can be vulnerable. Preventing lawn damage first involves getting to the root of the
problem. Lack of sunlight: All plants need the proper ratio of sunlight to grow. Too much sunlight and plant blades can scorch. Too little sunlight and grass may turn brown and die. Although there are shade-tolerant varieties of grass, homeowners also can explore alternative landscapes. Work in a garden bed or create a design that utilizes gravel or mulch. Avoid aggressively pruning back

trees to give the lawn more sunlight in that area, as this may just damage the trees. Chemical spills: Gasoline and fertilizer spills and pesticide applications in high concentrations can cause the lawn to yellow or brown in spots. Carefully refill lawn gas tanks and fertilizer spreaders on the sidewalk or driveway to avoid overflow onto the lawn. If spills occur, flood the area promptly with water to dilute. Foot traffic: Lawns can take a pounding from foot traffic, leading to compaction and spots of dead lawn. Try to redirect the traffic elsewhere to give worn down areas a break. Aeration can relieve soil compaction. If a certain area has become the de facto pathway, install a paver, gravel or concrete walkway in that spot. Debris: Leaving a tool, kids’ toys, piece of wood, or any debris on the lawn can quickly suffocate the grass beneath and cause the lawn to die quickly. Make sure that no items are left on the lawn for an extended period of time.
5B Mowing patterns: Running the mower in the same pattern over and over can cause ruts in the grass that lead to damage, so avoid mowing in the same direction on consecutive cuts. Avoid mowing on very hot days or when the lawn is soggy. Both can cause tracks to form in the lawn. Mowers: Dull lawn mower blades can damage lawns, as can mowing too fast. Grass blades can be torn, snapped and more, resulting in brown spots. Wildlife: Animals and insects can destroy turf roots. Animals or insects may feed on the grass from underneath its surface, compromising the lawn’s ability to procure nutrients and water. Animals like moles or raccoons may feed on grubs in the lawn, and treating for grubs can alleviate torn-up turf. Lawns can be hearty, but they’re also highly susceptible to damage. Even seemingly harmless things can compromise the integrity of a lawn. Understanding the causes of lawn damage can help homeowners protect their lawns.

How to keep animals out of your garden Container gardens can deter pests from trampling and eating plants.
M
any gardeners understand the frustration that stems from seeing a garden destroyed by wildlife. While protecting wildlife is a cause that’s near and dear to many gardening enthusiasts, even the most ardent wildlife supporter does not want to see his or her garden trampled, eaten or adversely affected by animals. Safeguarding gardens from local wildlife can require some trial and error. Animals may find ways to circumvent gardeners’ initial efforts to protect their gardens, but the following methods might just do the trick the first time around. Erect physical barriers around gardens. Barriers may not be gardeners’ first choices, as some people feel barriers such as wire cages or mesh coverings make it more difficult to tend to gardens and rob gardens of some of their aesthetic

appeal. But coverings and wire cages can effectively prevent wildlife from trampling or eating plants while still allowing the gardens to get adequate sunlight. Make sure barriers extend to the ground so animals cannot access gardens by entering beneath the barricades. Fight intruders with odor. Stray cats may mistake gardens for litter boxes and enter them to relieve themselves. Preventing such intrusions can be as simple as placing items around the garden to reduce the likelihood that gardens will be mistaken for litter boxes. Peels from oranges and lemons or coffee grounds can be placed in the garden and can

emit odors strong enough to deter cats. Install motion detecting lights around gardens. Motion detection technology might be enough to deter nocturnal wildlife from trampling or eating gardens. Animals might be spooked and run away when lights suddenly turn on. A similar approach can be taken using noise instead of lights. Gardeners who hope to avoid erecting barriers around their gardens can put up posts instead, attaching aluminum cans or wind chimes to the posts that will make noise when animals come near. Much like light, noise can be enough to deter animals. Consider raised garden beds. When small critters, such as moles, are
the main problem, then raised garden beds with wood or plastic bottoms and sides can be enough to safeguard gardens. Raised garden beds might not be accessible to small critters, though such beds likely won’t deter larger animals from getting into gardens that are not barricaded. Erect fencing around the yard. Though fencing is expensive, fencing in a backyard or side yard where gardens are located can deter wildlife big and small from trampling or eating gardens. Wildlife is worth protecting, but gardeners must also take steps to protect their gardens from animals looking for something to eat.

Did you know? H iring a landscape architect may be a smart move for homeowners who are planning major overhauls of their properties. “The Operational Outlook Handbook” defines a landscape architect as “a person who designs parks, outdoor spaces of campuses, recreational facilities, private homes, and other open areas.” Landscape architects typically must be licensed and many hold degrees in landscape architecture from accredited schools. Architects who work on residential spaces often work with homeowners to design gardens, plantings, stormwater management, and pools. Landscape architects design spaces to do more than merely look good. Designs also are about functionality and meeting the needs of the homeowner. Outdoor spaces are designed after considering what the homeowner wants to experience and how homeowners want to use a given space. Landscape architects often do not plant and maintain these spaces. Rather, architects collaborate with other landscaping professionals to produce the final results.

Composite decking can be a smart choice
D
ecks add character and functionality to a home, increasing outdoor entertaining space and oftentimes improving the resale value of a home. Homeowners have various options when choosing decking materials, but one such option, composite decking, is growing in popularity. Decks used to primarily be made from pressure-treated lumber. While lumber remains a popular material, more and more homeowners are opting for composite decking products. As anyone who has pressurewashed, stained and sealed wood decks can attest, such spaces require lots of upkeep to look new year after year. Composite decks require much less maintenance, making them highly attractive to homeowners who would rather spend time using their decks
instead of maintaining them. Composite decking is any type of decking material that is formulated from different recycled materials. The majority of these materials include hard plastic and wood shavings of pulp. Unlike wood, which can fade, crack and rot, composite decking, which has been available for roughly a decade, does not degrade quickly and requires very little upkeep. Available in a variety of wood colors to match outdoor decor, composite decks also can feature artificial wood grains to make them look similar to wood planks. Although composite decks are not completely impervious to the elements, with some occasional washing to impede mold growth and new technology that has improved stain-resistance, many of the pitfalls
Wednesday, April 19, 2017
of other materials can be avoided with composite decks. Composite decking fits in with ecofriendly lifestyles. The planks are made from recycled materials that would normally end up in landfills. Products from Trex, a popular composite decking manufacturer, are made from 1.5 million shopping bags and wood mill waste. As composite decks do not rot away and are long-lasting, they will not need to be replaced frequently, which is another eco-friendly benefit. When comparing composite decking brands, look mainly at the colors, materials used in the composition and the fastening systems. Many are fastened with regular deck screws, offers This Old House. The newer systems have channels for hidden fastening, and the composite deck tiles snap into place. Composite decks do have a few drawbacks. They can be expensive — nearly double the initial cost of wood decks. And although they don’t rot, composite planks can scratch. Without refinishing, damaged boards will need
to be replaced. Harsh chemicals may fade color and damage the composite materials, so caution is needed. Composite decking remains an indemand choice for outdoor spaces. Low-maintenance and long-lasting, these decks have quickly become favorites among homeowners.

indigenous plants, gardeners can be sure that insects and small critters will seek refuge within the foliage. Songbirds also will add character to a yard. The Audubon Society suggests including a water source and a songbird border of shrubs along your property’s edge. Provide food sources and make sure they are located a fair distance from the main action of the yard so as not to scare off birds.

However, many homeowners put in so much effort planting for one particular season that they may not give thought to ensuring the garden looks vibrant no matter the time of year. Gardeners can research planting zones to find plants that will blossom at different times of the year so they can enjoy impressive, aesthetically appealing gardens year-round. Spring bulbs can bloom early on, while annual and perennial summer favorites will thrive under the summer sun. Beautyberry and caryopteris will fill out in the autumn, while holly or mahonia can look lovely in the winter.
Taste
Gardeners can expand their gardens to include fruit-bearing trees and rows of vegetables. Produce can be harvested from early spring through late fall depending on the crops planted.
Smell
G
ardens add visual appeal to a yard, but gardens also can appeal to individuals’ senses of smell, taste, touch, and sound. Gardeners who want to create gardens that appeal to various senses can do so in the following ways.
Touch
Gardeners can dot their landscapes with aromatic trees, shrubs and flowers that will make stepping out into the garden that much more special. Some of the more fragrant plants include gardenia, dianthus, calendula, lavender, and jasmine. Shrubs such as fragrant pineapple broom, Anne Russell viburnum and Christmas box can add fragrance as well.
Apart from including trees and shrubs of various textures in the garden, look for other ways to stimulate a tactile response. Water features add relaxing sound and beauty. Stones, moss, mulch, and other accents have varied textures that can stimulate the sense of touch in various ways. Don’t forget to include a sitting area so that you can immerse yourself fully in the garden. Go beyond visual appeal when designing a garden. When gardeners tap into all five senses, they can enjoy their landscapes even more than they already do.
Sound
The lively sounds of the garden are created by the wildlife that come to pollinate and enjoy the environment gardeners have created. By choosing

Create a safe and enjoyable backyard play area
H
omeowners often aspire to have attractive backyards that look like they belong in a magazine. While these can be picturesque and functional for adults, they may not be entirely practical for homeowners who have young children, especially when the majority of the yard is covered with paving stones or concrete. When young children are part of a household, homeowners may benefit by designing yards that are both functional and fun. Incorporating safe play areas for kids is one way to unlock the potential of both big and small backyards. As children run off to enjoy a playground, safety is the last thing on their minds. Kids are most interested in scaling ladders to treehouses or coasting down slides. That’s why adults must take it upon themselves to keep injury prevention in mind. SafestPlayground.com indicates that playground-related injuries routinely result in severe fractures, internal injuries, concussions, and dislocations. In the majority of playground injuries to children younger than age 5, the head and face are affected. Children between
the ages of 5 and 9 experience more leg and arm injuries than younger kids. The Consumer Product Safety Commission states 70 percent of children’s injuries occur on home playgrounds. More than 28,000 children are injured each year on playgrounds across Canada, according to Parachute, a national injury prevention organization. When considering playground equipment for the yard, parents need to make safety a priority. The Canada Safety Society advises parents to follow the “5 S’s of Playground Safety”: Surface, structures, site, supervision, and safety. Surface: Parents should assume that children will fall. To lessen the blow of falls, choose playground equipment with a perimeter of six feet of a softer surface, such as sand, pea gravel, rubber pieces or wood chips. This material should be between six and 12 inches deep. Structure: The structure of the play equipment should be built from sturdy materials. Pressure-treated lumber was once the standard, but it’s not adviseable for kids’ playgrounds, as the chemicals used in the lumber can leach and young children may
actually bite or pick at the wood. Use cedar or another wood that resists decay. Once the structure is built, inspect it frequently for damage. Site: Look around the landscape for an ideal place to locate the playset. There should be no obstacles that children can hit while sliding or swinging. Avoid overhanging branches and do not place equipment too close to trees or fencing. Try to keep the set out of direct sunlight, which can make components heat up and scald young bodies. Supervision: Do not leave children alone while they are playing. Prevent
children from using the playset in an incorrect manner. Safety: Follow the directions for installation. Make sure all posts are anchored into the ground securely. Railings should be spaced so that children cannot get stuck between them. Check that metal components have not rusted and that there is no additional excessive wear. Be sure that no tools or other dangerous items are left around the yard. Backyard playgrounds should be built with safety in mind. Learn the rules of play equipment and yard safety.

Helpful and harmful insects
A
Butterflies and other helpful insects, such as bees, pollinate flowers and can keep dangerous pests at bay in the garden.
lthough it’s virtually impossible to count them, insects are the most diverse group of organisms on the planet. Nine hundred thousand different kinds of insects are known to exist. At any given time, it is estimated that there are around 10 quintillion individual insects living. Gardeners grow frustrated when seeing their gardens infested with insects. In an effort to restore their gardens, homeowners might be tempted to eradicate any bug that moves in their yards. But gardeners would be wise to first learn which insects are hurting their gardens and which can actually help gardens in the long run.
Harmful
Certain insects can be dangerous to animals and plants. The following are a handful of insects that can threaten the vitality of gardens. Aphids: These insects suck on the juice needed to sustain plants, particularly when they congregate. Bald-faced hornet: Hornets tend to be an aggressive species that can sting repeatedly. Should you find a nest near an entertaining space or garden, it can cause trouble. Carpenter ants: These ants will burrow into wood causing damage. They may compromise any wooden structure in and around a home.
UP TO
Helpful
Locusts: Various species of locust can damage plants and crops due to their voracious appetites. Treehoppers: These small, green insects mimic the look of leaves, and their appetites can affect crops and gardens. Red pavement ant: As they feed on all manner of human food, these ants can quickly overtake areas with their staggering numbers and deliver painful bites. Grasshoppers: Certain grasshoppers, like the red-legged grasshopper, can decimate food crops and transfer parasites to birds when eaten as prey. Caterpillars: Many caterpillars, the precursor to adult moths, will feed constantly on leaves, stems and other parts of plants. The tobacco hornworm moth caterpillar can damage potato and tomato plants.
Plants depend on insects to transfer pollen as they forage, and many insects are quite beneficial to have around. While some pollinate, others are predators of other pests. Antlion: A foe of ants, they’ll help eat and control ant populations and pollinate flowers. They pose no threat to humans, either. Big dipper firefly: These colorful insects feast on earthworms, slugs and snails during the larval stage. Fireflies add drama to evening gardens with their twinkling lights.
Garden spiders: Although some spiders can be venomous, many are quite handy to have around the garden. They’ll help control pest populations that can damage plants and crops. Dragonflies: These arial artists that zip around the yard are consuming smaller insects that would otherwise pester plants and humans. Blue-winged wasp: This wasp attacks the larvae of Japanese beetles, helping to control beetle populations. Bees and butterflies: Butterflies and bees are some of the best pollinators out there, and each can add whimsy to gardens.
