Gregg said the NWS relies on
the trained spotters to be their
eyes and ears locally, because the
radar may “overshoot” the area.
This is due to the earth’s curvature, while radar beams are ﬂat.
During the class, those attending will learn the basics of thunderstorm development; fundamentals of storm structure; identifying potential severe weather
features; information to report;
how to report the information;

and basic severe weather safety.
Volunteers often include police
and ﬁre personnel, dispatchers,
EMS workers, public utility workers, and private citizens. Those
who have responsibility for protecting others, such as workers in
hospitals, schools, churches, and
nursing homes are also encouraged to attend.
Ham radio operators have
worked with the NWS for years
in the tornado and hurricane
areas, Gregg said. He added they
are especially helpful because the
radios do not need phone or internet services, which might not
operate in severe weather.

Anyone having questions
about the local class can contact
Gregg at 304-675-8686, ext. 9, or
mgregg@masoncountyoes.com.
There is no registration. Interested residents can simply show
up the night of the class.
For those unable to attend
the class, an online training
will be held March 21 from 7 to
8:30 p.m., Gregg said. Those
wishing to take the free webinar can register at: https://

THEIR VIEW

One night
at Waffle
House
The ﬁrst time I met David Lieurance, I stood
at the police counter in the old Wilmington City
Hall as I began my ﬁrst tour of duty as a police
ofﬁcer. Dave was about 16 years old,
and I was 21. It was the ﬁrst step in
our friendship that has taken us on a
long and pleasant journey for the last
50 years.
Dave is a man who epitomizes one
of my favorite words – “precise”:
“Marked by exactness and accuracy
Pat
of expression or detail,” which MerHaley
riam-Webster succinctly deﬁnes.
Contributing
Unlike Bette Midler, who said, “I
columnist
have standards. They are low, but I
do have standards,” Dave Lieurance’s
standards are high.
The day started like many other days in the
Shenandoah Valley. The bright sun was shining,
the cool breeze was stirring the ﬂag, and the
trains were running on time.
My wife, Brenda, and I were sitting on the patio
of the Pullman Restaurant in Staunton, Virginia,
waiting on Amtrak Train 51 from Cincinnati, and
our special guests, Dave Lieurance, his wife, Barb,
and their son, Shane.
The whistle blew from the big locomotive, and
within minutes we were exchanging hugs and
handshakes before we headed to our home where
a low-hanging white birch branch awaited as an
excellent backdrop for photographs. Those pictures of the Lieurance family still proudly remain
in our scrapbook today.
“Do you remember …” was a phrase often heard
that afternoon and evening as we talked, joked and
reminisced. It was starting to get late, but Dave
likes to stay up late, some times all night when the
mood is right.
“Let’s go to the Wafﬂe House!” Dave said, as I
looked at the clock.
“Sounds good to me,” Brenda said. Barb and
Shane concurred as Dave eyed me, seeking consensus.
“I’m going to bed,” I said. “It’s almost midnight.”
The next morning we sat down for breakfast in
our kitchen and I asked how the visit to the Wafﬂe
House went. No one said a word. Later in the
morning, Brenda told me about the visit.
“It didn’t go well,” she said. “Not well at all.”
“Well, when we arrived, an elderly waitress
came over to the table and took our order,” Brenda said. “She appeared grumpy and seemingly
indifferent to courteous customer service.’
Brenda said the tense atmosphere brought to
mind Captain Woodrow Call’s comment in “Lonesome Dove”: “I hate rude behavior in a man. I
won’t tolerate it.”
And Dave was in no mood for rude behavior.
According to reports, in most restaurants, the
wait staff communicates with the kitchen via some
sort of ticketing system. But allegedly, at Wafﬂe
House, there’s a code that allows wait staff and
chefs to communicate wordlessly.
For example, a jelly packet placed on the bottom of the plate means scrambled eggs. A mustard
packet facing upwards on the plate means pork
chops.
The jukeboxes you ﬁnd inside Wafﬂe House
have a selection of music that you won’t ﬁnd anywhere else. Some favorites include “Raisins in My
Toast,” and “Special Lady,” the last of which celebrates the waitresses who staff the breakfast bars.
Dave happened to glance over at the waitress
who was busily piling lettuce into his salad bowl.
She was not wearing gloves; she was barehanded.
She brought the salad over to Dave.
“I will not eat this salad,” Dave told the waitress.
“And why not?” she asked sarcastically.
“For about ﬁfty reasons, but the main one being
you touched my lettuce and were not wearing
gloves,” Dave replied.
The elderly waitress glared at him. “File a complaint,” she said.
According to Brenda, those were not the words
Dave wanted to hear. “You can bet your life I will,”
Dave replied.
Months passed and one evening Brenda brought
up the Wafﬂe House visit to me again.
I decided to write a letter to Dave: “Dear Mr.
Lieurance: It has been brought to my attention
that you displayed disruptive behavior in our
Staunton, Virginia Wafﬂe House, and caused great
alarm and stress to one of our long-serving and
dedicated waitresses. As a result of your behavior,
you will not be welcome in our Staunton location
in the future, and will be banned immediately
from all of our restaurants east of the Mississippi
River.”
I put the letter on homemade Wafﬂe House letterhead, used the name of a CEO as a signature,

In 1918, during
World War I, Germany
launched its Spring
Offensive on the Western
Front, hoping to break
through the Allied lines
before American reinforcements could arrive.
(Although successful at
ﬁrst, the Spring Offensive ultimately failed.)
In 1925, Tennessee
Gov. Austin Peay (pee)

Rio baseball
stays just outside
NAIA Top 25
By Randy Payton
For Ohio Valley Publishing

KANSAS CITY, Mo.
— The University of
Rio Grande once again
ﬁnds itself just outside
of the NAIA Baseball
Top 25 coaches’ poll.
Head coach Brad
Warnimont’s team
garnered 97 points
in the balloting of a
panel of head coaches
representing each of
the NAIA conferences
and the Association of
Independent Institutions.
The poll was released
Tuesday night by the
national ofﬁce.
Rio Grande, which
improved its overall
record to 21-10 after
a sweep of Ohio University-Chillicothe on
Tuesday, is two points
behind 25th-ranked
Mobile (Ala.) and is
the ﬁrst school among
the “Others Receiving
Votes” for the second
straight week.
The RedStorm are
scheduled to return to
action on Friday when
they open a weekend
River States Conference series at home
against Brescia University.

Southeastern (Fla.)
claimed the No. 1 spot
for a second week in
a row. The Fire (26-3)
earned all 18 ﬁrst place
votes.
Faulkner (Ala.) University and Westmont
(Calif.) both jumped
into the top three,
while Freed-Hardeman
(Tenn.) and Oklahoma
City complete the top
ﬁve.
Faulkner climbed
one spot and ﬁnished
with 474 points, while
Westmont leapfrogged
two positions and tallied 458.
Freed-Hardeman and
Oklahoma City collected 430 points and 420
points, respectively.
No. 17 Indiana Tech
and No. 19 Lyon (Ark.)
made the biggest jumps
this week, with both
moving up four positions.
No. 21 Warner (Fla.)
University and No. 24
Webber International
(Fla.) were newcomers to the poll, while
Keiser (Fla.) and William Jessup (Calif.)
dropped off the list.

Castillo to start
for Reds on
opening day
GOODYEAR, Ariz.
(AP) — Luis Castillo
has been picked to
start on opening day
for the Cincinnati
Reds.
Rookie manager
David Bell made the
announcement Tuesday, saying Castillo
will get the ball March
28 at home against
the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Castillo was 10-12
with a 4.30 ERA in 31
starts for the last-place
Reds a year ago.
The 26-year-old
right-hander is set to
begin his second full
season with Cincinnati. Castillo broke
into the big leagues
straight from DoubleA Pensacola on June
23, 2017. He made
his ﬁrst start against
Washington ﬁve
months after the Reds
acquired him and
Austin Brice from the
Miami Marlins in a
trade for Dan Straily.
Cincinnati traded
for three experienced
starters this offseason:

Sonny Gray, Tanner
Roark and Alex Wood.
Castillo and Anthony
DeSclafani are the
only holdovers from
the 2018 rotation.
Bell said Gray, Roark
and DeSclafani will
follow Castillo.
“It was fun telling
him. He was excited
about it,” Bell said.
“He’s had a lot of
success leading up
to now. We like the
progress he’s made in
spring training. We
think he’s in a good
place to start opening
day. We trust any of
those four guys.”
The Reds have yet to
name a ﬁfth starter to
ﬁll in for Wood, who is
recovering from pain
in his lower back.
Castillo has made
four appearances this
spring, including two
starts, and allowed 12
runs in 7 2/3 innings.
He pitched four
innings in his last start
Sunday against Cleveland, yielding three
runs and four hits.

Lady Knights thump Williamstown
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com

POINT PLEASANT,
W.Va. — Already in the
swing of things.
The Point Pleasant
softball team started the
2019 season in style on
its home ﬁeld Tuesday
night, defeating nonconference guest Williamstown by a 15-1 tally
in three innings.
The Lady YellowJackets (1-3) led off the game
with single, but Point
Pleasant (1-0) retired
the next three batters in
order.
The Lady Knights
broke the scoreless tie
in the bottom of the
ﬁrst inning, as freshman Tayah Fetty tripled
home Hayley Keefer with
one out. Fetty was left

stranded on third, however, as Williamstown
escaped the frame with
a ﬂyout and a groundout
to the shortstop.
The guests evened
the game with one out
in the top of the second,
as Alexis Schreckengost
scored on a Jocey West
single.
However, the Lady
Knights broke the game
wide open with 10 consecutive one-out hits
in the bottom inning,
plating nine runs in the
process. Point Pleasant’s
10th run of the frame
came on a groundout,
and then the hosts added
four more runs on four
straight two-out knocks.
A single and an error
gave Williamstown a
pair of baserunners in
the top of the third, but

the guests couldn’t bring
either run home and fell
by a 15-1 tally.
Following the seasonopening win, sixth-year
PPHS head coach James
Higginbotham talked
about the Lady Knights’
success on offense, as
well as some of the
things challenging his
young team.
“We hit the ball well,”
Higginbotham said.
“We hit the ball hard
after that ﬁrst inning, I
think there were some
butterﬂies there and
we popped a couple up.
We hit the ball hard and
made them ﬁeld it, and
that’s what you have to
do. Defensively, they
had a couple hits and
scored a run, but we’ll
get better. We’ve got one
senior, four juniors, one

sophomore and the rest
of them are freshmen, so
we have to get better.”
The winning pitcher
of record for the Lady
Knights was Madilyn
Keefer, who allowed
one earned run on two
hits and a walk in two
innings of work. Kyrsten
Stroud tossed one frame
in relief and surrendered
one hit. Both PPHS
pitchers picked up a
strikeout in the win.
Aiyanna Hancock suffered the setback in two
innings of work for Williamstown, giving up 15
earned runs on 15 hits
and a trio of walks, while
striking out two batters.
Fetty led the PPHS
offense, going 3-of-3
with a triple, a double,

RIO GRANDE, Ohio — Since
dropping the ﬁnal two games of
its series against Point Park University just over a week ago, the
University of Rio Grande has been
an offensive juggernaut.
After piling up 52 runs in a
three-game weekend series sweep
of Cincinnati Christian University,
the RedStorm dropped 41 runs on
Ohio University-Chillicothe Tuesday afternoon.
Head coach Brad Warnimont’s
club rolled to a pair of wins, blast-

ing the Hilltoppers by scores of
22-0 and 19-3 in non-conference
baseball action at Bob Evans Field.
Rio Grande improved to 21-10
with the sweep.
OU-Chillicothe dropped to 0-6
as a result of the two losses.
In the opener, Rio Grande
scored in ﬁve of its six at bats,
including nine times in the second
inning and seven times in the
fourth.
Sophomore Kyle Boggs (Baltimore, OH) went 2-for-3 with a
double and ﬁve runs batted in,
while senior Roanderson Severino
(Reading, PA) went 3-for-3 with

a triple and four RBI and freshman Clayton Surrell (Carroll, OH)
was 2-for-3 with a double and four
RBI.
Freshman Brandon Pritchard
(Zanesville, OH) went 3-for-3 and
drove in two runs for the RedStorm, who banged out 20 hits
as a team, while freshman Troy
Swansen (Pickerington, OH) and
senior Michael Rodriguez (Santo
Domingo, D.R.) each had two hits
and an RBI and freshman Cole
Dyer (Wheelersburg, OH) also
had two hits.

Reds try to escape NL Central cellar
CINCINNATI (AP) —
During Yasiel Puig’s six
seasons in LA, the Dodgers won at least 91 games
and made the playoffs
each year, reaching the
World Series twice. The
outﬁelder knows nothing
but winning at the major
league level.
Hello, Cincinnati.
An offseason trade
transplanted Puig to the
other side of the country
and the standings. He’s
now playing for a Reds
team that’s lost at least 94
games for four straight
years and has taken up
full-time residency in the
NL Central basement.
The weather is very different in Cincinnati. So is
what passes for chili. The
baseball? Puig will soon
ﬁnd out if that’s palatable,
too.
“I’ve been with the
Dodgers for six years, and
six straight years we’ve
been in the playoffs,” Puig
said during a visit on a
subzero winter day to
look for a house. “I hope
this is not a year we’re
going to be out in October, you know? I come
here to bring this team to
the playoffs again.”
He’s got some reinforcements joining him.
The question is whether

CHARLOTTE, N.C.
(AP) — Danica Patrick
will join NBC Sports’
inaugural coverage of the
Indianapolis 500 as an
analyst alongside host
Mike Tirico.
Patrick retired from
racing after last year’s
Indianapolis 500. Her
eighth appearance in
“The Greatest Spectacle
in Racing” prepped her
for a return as a television
personality.
She told The Associated Press racing at Indy
last year after an eightyear run in NASCAR

bank and gives her plenty
to discuss. Patrick will be

they’ll be enough to make
much of a difference.
The Reds are trying to
morph from down-andout rebuilder to overnight contender. They
made three offseason
deals, including one that
brought Puig, Matt Kemp
and left-hander Alex
Wood from the Dodgers.
They overhauled their
rotation and their outﬁeld
in an attempt to become
relevant again.
It’s an unusual strategy
for a rebuilding team.
Four of the players they
acquired are eligible for

free agency after next
season, along with second
baseman Scooter Gennett,
their best hitter the last
two years, so there’s no
telling what comes next.
For now at least, the
Reds are worth watching
again.
“We’re going to do
something better,” Puig
promised.
Some things to watch
as the Reds celebrate the
150-year anniversary of
ﬁelding the ﬁrst professional baseball team and
open the season at home
against the Pirates:

a studio analyst on race
day and contribute to
NBC Sports’ pre-race, inrace and post-race coverage. She will also be part
of the broadcast team
for qualifying on May
19 and will promote the
race across NBCUniversal
platforms.
“This is an event that
means so much to me,”
she said in a telephone
interview ahead of
Wednesday’s announcement. “I am so glad I did
the 500 last year because
my information is much
more current and relevant. I think it’s going to
be quite a bit of work —
I’ve always thought being

part of the broadcast
team is a different kind
of work — there’s a lot of
preparation there.”
Her homework began
in earnest with the IndyCar season opener in St.
Petersburg, Florida, two
weeks ago when Patrick
tuned in to watch the
race.
“I thought, ‘Oh my
God, I’ve got to know
all the names.’ I’ve got
to know who’s the guy
who has momentum and
who doesn’t,” she said. “I
need to respect the event
and the position that I’m
in. It’s so important for
me to be up to date on
everything.”

The Cincinnati Reds’ Yasiel Puig connects for a home run during the third inning of a spring training
game last week. Puig leads an infusion of players who hope to lead the last-place Reds back to
respectability.

Familiar name and number
First-year manager
David Bell gives the Reds
a little nostalgia in the
dugout. Bell’s grandfather, Gus, and father,
Buddy, played for the
Reds. He’s wearing their
No. 25. Bell signiﬁcantly
changed the players’
routines in spring training, and he explored
using reliever Michael
Lorenzen in center ﬁeld,
another indication he’s
open to new things. He’ll
get a lot of the focus in
his ﬁrst season managing
in the majors.

Trout, Angels close to 12-year deal
ANAHEIM, Calif. —
Mike Trout is on the
verge of becoming baseball’s ﬁrst half-billion dollar man.
Trout and the Los
Angeles Angels are close
to ﬁnalizing a $432 million, 12-year contract
that would shatter the
record for the largest
deal in North American
sports history, a person
familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press.
The deal was disclosed
Tuesday by a person
familiar with the negotiations who spoke to
the AP on condition
of anonymity because
the agreement had not
been ﬁnalized. The
contract was likely to be
announced by the end
of this week, the person
said.
Trout would set a
baseball record for career
earnings at about $513
million, surpassing the
roughly $448 million
Alex Rodriguez took in
with Seattle, Texas and
the New York Yankees
from 1994-2017
“I’m pretty sure I ain’t
paying one more dinner for him,” said fellow Angels star Albert
Pujols, in the midst of
a $240 million, 10-year
deal. “It’s well deserved.
I don’t think there’s anybody in baseball besides
him who deserves that.”
Trout’s latest deal
would top the new $330
million, 12-year contract
between Bryce Harper
and the Philadelphia
Phillies, and Trout’s $36
million average annual
value would surpass
pitcher Zack Greinke’s
$34.4 million in a sixyear deal with Arizona
that started in 2016. The

Mike Trout and the Los Angeles Angels are close to finalizing a
record $432 million, 12-year contract that would shatter the record
for the largest deal in North American sports history, a source
close the negotiations tells The Associated Press.

contract also would best
Mexican boxer Canelo
Alvarez’s $356 million
deal with sports-streaming service DAZN.
Progress toward an
agreement was ﬁrst
reported by ESPN.
Whether Trout’s contract is the largest in the
world for a team athlete
is difﬁcult to determine.
Forbes estimated Lionel
Messi earned $84 million from Barcelona in
2017-18 and Cristiano
Ronaldo $61 million from
Real Madrid, but precise
details of their contracts
are not known.
“You think about
Angels, you think about
Mike Trout,” Los Angeles shortstop Andrelton
Simmons said, “You
locked up the best player
in the game. That’s a
big ﬁrst step to take.
You can build off of that.
That’s a good base to the
house.”
Trout’s deal would
include a signing bonus
and supersede the
$144.5 million, six-year
contract that had been
set to pay him $33.25
million in each of the
next two seasons.

While the marketplace
has been slow for many
players this offseason,
prompting complaints
from the players’ association, top stars have
gained robust deals.
Four of the largest seven
contracts will have been
agreed to since Feb. 19,
with Trout and Harper
joined by Manny Machado ($300 million for 10
years with San Diego)
and Nolan Arenado
($260 million for eight
years with Colorado).
Los Angeles selected
Trout with the 25th
overall pick in the 2009
amateur draft, and he
signed for a bonus of
$1,215,000. He made his
major league debut on
July 8, 2011.
A 27-year-old entering
what should be his prime
years, Trout is considered baseball’s top player
and would have been
coveted as a free agent
after the 2020 season.
He lives in southern New
Jersey, and Harper said
he was excited about trying to recruit Trout to
join him in Philadelphia.
Although Trout

his native Millville, New
Jersey, he is staying on
the West Coast with the
Angels, who are coming
off three straight losing
seasons and haven’t won
a playoff game during his
career.
Trout and wife Jessica
have made no secret of
how much they enjoy living in laid-back Southern
California, and the lowkey outﬁelder decided to
skip the pressure of free
agency entirely.
Trout has been an AllStar in each of his seven
full big league seasons
and hit .312 with 39
homers, 79 RBIs, 24
steals and 122 walks last
year. He led the major
leagues in OPS in each
of the last two seasons.
Trout has a .307 average with 240 homers,
648 RBIs, 189 steals and
693 walks in eight big
league seasons. He was
voted AL Rookie of the
Year in 2012, won the
AL MVP award in 2014
and ‘16 and ﬁnished second in MVP voting four
times, tying the record
shared by Stan Musial,
Ted Williams and Pujols.
Big-money deals have
not worked out for the
Angels in the past.
Pujols reached his big
deal with the Angels
before the 2012 season
but has not matched his
previous performance
with St. Louis. Josh
Hamilton signed a $125
million, ﬁve-year contract before the 2013
season and contributed
just 31 homers and 123
RBIs in two years with
the Angels.
Trout is viewed differently as a home-grown
Angels player and forms
a core with Japanese
star two-way player
Shohei Ohtani, who is
recovering from Tommy
John surgery. Ohtani
is expected to be able
to hit for the Angels at
some time in the ﬁrst
half of the season and to
resume pitching in the
2020 season.

PITTSBURGH (AP)
— The Pittsburgh
Pirates bet on themselves a year ago when
they traded away stars
Gerrit Cole and Andrew
McCutchen, believing
the return they received
plus the pieces already
in place would help
them make inroads in
the hypercompetitive
National League Central.
The results were
promising. The Pirates
put together just the
franchise’s fourth winning season in the last
quarter century, ﬁnishing 82-79 thanks in
large part to the rapid
development of a young
starting rotation led by
Jameson Taillon and
Trevor Williams that
quickly found its footing. While many of their
rivals retooled over
the winter, Pittsburgh
instead doubled down
on its largely homegrown approach.
“I think that a sevengame improvement last
year was a meaningful
step forward, and we
are absolutely positioned to take another
meaningful step forward
and get us back into
that range where we
have a very good shot
at playoffs,” owner Bob
Nutting said.
To get there, the
Pirates needs the core
of the rotation of Taillon, Williams, Chris
Archer — acquired in
an aggressive move at
last summer’s trade
deadline — and Joe
Musgrove to build off a
solid 2018 while hoping
the offense can become
more potent under
new hitting coach Rick
Eckstein. While the
Pirates were a respectable 10th in batting
average in 2018 (.254),
they ranked in the bottom half of the majors

in runs, home runs and
slugging.
The return of third
baseman Jung Ho Kang
— who hit 36 homers
in 2015 and 2016 before
his career was derailed
after being arrested
on a DUI charge in his
native South Korea in
late 2016 — should
help. First baseman
Josh Bell spent a signiﬁcant portion of his
offseason working on
regaining the stroke
that allowed him to
hit 26 home runs as a
rookie in 2017, a total
that dipped to 12 a season ago.
Pittsburgh brought
in veteran Lonnie
Chisenhall to help
out in right ﬁeld until
Gregory Polanco
returns from shoulder
surgery and shortstop
Erik Gonzalez beat out
Kevin Newman for the
starting shortstop gig.
Otherwise Pittsburgh’s
lineup will look much
as it did in 2018. The
Pirates hardly see that
as a negative.
“Everybody is committed to doing what
we can to putting a
World Series championship team on the ﬁeld,”
team President Frank
Coonelly said over the
winter. “And we do
know that we can do it.”
Some things to look
for as Pittsburgh vies
for a return to the postseason for the ﬁrst time
since 2015.
Fifth amendment
The only real question mark on the pitching staff is at the back
end of the rotation,
where Nick Kingham
and Jordan Lyles have
spent the spring trying
to lock down a roster
spot. Kingham endured
an up-and-down rookie
season in 2018 while
Lyles has worked primarily out of the bullpen since 2015.
Golden gun
Leftﬁelder Corey
Dickerson put together
the ﬁnest season of his
career in 2018 after
being acquired from
Tampa Bay late in
spring training. He hit
.300 and was a revelation on defense, where
he won his ﬁrst career
Gold Glove while patrolling spacious PNC Park.
He earned a raise to
$8.5 million in 2019,
the ﬁnal year of his contract. The 29-year-old
Dickerson would like to
stay in Pittsburgh long
term but the Pirates
have been hesitant to resign players in their 30s.
Firing Felipe
While speciﬁc roles
for the middle relievers
remain in a bit of ﬂux,
the back end of the
bullpen is set. Felipe
Vazquez was the team’s
only All-Star in 2018
while he converted 37 of
42 save opportunities.
Keone Kela, brought
over from Texas at the
trade deadline, will
work in the eighth
inning with Kyle Crick
getting a shot in the
seventh. Their reliability will help shorten the
game for Pittsburgh’s
starting rotation.
Homefield advantage
Pittsburgh’s
improved play in 2018
didn’t exactly galvanize the fan base. The
Pirates posted their
lowest average attendance at PNC Park
since it opened in 2001
and its lowest overall
since 1996.

relax in a garden and gaze at something

perennial to tickle your fancy.
The NGA offers the following breakdown
of colors to help gardeners learn how
WKHLU�JDUGHQV�FDQ�VHW�WKH�PRRG�WKH\·UH�
looking for.

Bright colors

A garden full of bright colors like red,
orange, magenta, and yellow can provide
a landscape with vigor and energy. The

NGA notes that brightly colored flowers
can withstand especially bright sunshine,
meaning gardeners can marvel at their
appearance even when the sun might
be adversely affecting other plants and
flowers.

Pastel colors
Pastels, which include soft pink, powder
blue, lavender, and peach, create a
tranquil feeling in a garden. This makes
pastel perfect for those who want their
gardens to be a relaxing, peaceful respite
from the hustle and bustle of everyday
life. The NGA notes that pastels may
looked washed out in the midday sun, so
they might be best enjoyed early in the
morning or late in the afternoon.

These colors are those that are next to
each other on the color wheel, such as
orange and red. The NGA recommends
harmonious colors for gardeners looking
to create a unifying feel in their gardens
without resorting to a monochromatic
color scheme. Harmonious colors give
off a gentle feeling that can make for a
relaxing garden atmosphere.

Potential culprits

Did you know?
Many people may be tempted to discard
rusty tools that have gone unused and
sat in a garage or shed for a significant
period of time. But tools encrusted
with rust do not need to be relegated
to the trash bin, nor do gardeners have
to toil for hours scraping and sanding

to restore rusty tools that relies on a
common household ingredient: vinegar.
Pour vinegar into a deep enough vessel
to submerge the metal part of the tool.
Soak the tool overnight. The next day,
use a scouring pad to rub off the rust.
If the tool is too big to fit into a can or
bucket, simply wrap it with a vinegarsoaked rag and cover the whole tool with
a tightly secured plastic bag. Follow the
same procedure the next day. After all
the rust is gone, rinse
the tool in
cool
water
and dry
thoroughly.
Then return
it to regular usage.

blight

T

hick grass is often
a hallmark of a
healthy lawn. If
grass begins to thin,
homeowners may feel
as though all the time
and effort they spent
tending to their lawns
was for naught.
Thinning grass can be
caused by any number
of things. And while it
might take a little effort
to address, thinning
grass can be treated if
homeowners correctly
identify that cause of
the problem.

diseases affect both
cool- and warmseason turfgrasses.
Various fungi can cause
leaf spot. Symptoms
and the timing of the
appearance of leaf spot
will vary depending
on which fungi is
causing the problem.
For example, bipolaris
sorokiniana, which
affects grasses in warm,
wet summer months,
produces small spots
that are dark purple to
black. Dreschslera poae
is another fungi that
causes leaf spot, and
it also produces dark
purple to black spots.
However, it tends to
appear in the spring
when the weather
is cool and moist.
Understanding the

different fungi and when
they typically strike
can help homeowners
identify what is causing
their grass to thin.
In such situations,
professional landscapers
can be invaluable
resources as well.

Stripe smut
The University of
Maryland Extension
notes that stripe smut
primarily poses a threat
to Kentucky bluegrass
that is older than three
years. Pale green streaks
that run parallel to
the veins in the leaves
and leaf sheaths are
symptomatic of stripe

be noticed in spring
and fall, when weather

According to the lawn

its healthy grass blades

diseased grass blades.
Most prevalent in the
spring, this disease
can affect grass at
any time during the

as those that can result

Various issues can

is a great way to combat
such issues before they

Identify and treat garden moles
L
awn and garden
enthusiasts often
must address
unforeseen issues
when tending to their
lawns. Weeds can be a
blight, and drought can
compromise the look
and integrity of a lawn.
Another, more deceptive
potential adversary
is moles. After a
spring and summer
spent tending to their
gardens, no homeowner
wants to have their hard
work compromised by
moles.
´7KH�2OG�)DUPHU·V�
Almanac” says that
moles are grounddwelling insectivores
that feast on insects in
the soil. Moles grow to
be roughly six to eight
inches long and have
gray or black, velvety
fur. Their snouts are
slender and hairless,
and they have very small
eyes and ears. Their
large front feet have
long claws that scoop

dirt out of the way like a
garden hoe.
Even though moles are
more likely to snack
on grubs, worms and
beetles than plants, they
damage gardens and
lawns because of their
underground tunneling
behavior. Moles make
subterranean channels
throughout the yard in
search of food. Some of
the telltale signs include
sprouted mounds of
displaced soil, holes
and raised burrows
and hills. Tunneling
can separate roots
from soil, eventually
killing vegetation in the
process, according to
the home and garden
experts at BobVila.com.
There are various
ways to address mole
problems in a lawn

mole can be removed

Things to consider
before building a greenhouse

A

vid gardeners
may be enticed
by the idea of a
greenhouse that allows
them to explore their
passion for plants yearURXQG��:KLOH�LW·V�WUXH�
that greenhouses afford
this luxury, there are

important things to
consider before erecting
a greenhouse in your
yard.
Greenhouses require
ample time to maintain.
Greenhouses are not
self-managing; they
require heat, water,

venting, electricity,
and maintenance on
the part of gardeners.
Individuals need to
determine how much
time they have to
devote to a greenhouse
and then consider their
options.
Start by choosing the
size of the greenhouse.
Many experts, like those
at the home and garden
information site The
Spruce, suggest getting
the largest one you can
afford and fit into the
yard. It is much easier to
fill a large greenhouse
than try to expand on a
small one later on.
Next, consider whether
you want to build
the greenhouse from
scratch or utilize a
prefabricated kit that
can make easier work
of the job. Kits typically
contain all of the
materials needed, and
are easiest for someone
who is a construction
novice. Look for “grower

Greenhouses can be a great
addition to a yard for those
who know what to expect.

greenhouses,” which are
all-purpose options with
adjustable shelving and
space for growing plants
full-term.
The next step is
deciding where the
greenhouse will be
located. The goal is
to have a consistent
amount of sunlight
year-round. A southfacing locale is ideal,
and structures should
remain north of the
greenhouse so they do
not cast a shadow on it.

The building, cars and
technology resource
Popular Mechanics
advises gardening
enthusiasts to take into
consideration the angle
of the sun during all
seasons before choosing
a location. Doing so
ensures that the sun
is not obscured in the
winter or fall.
Select a spot that also
has ample drainage, as
you will not want water
pooling up along the
sides of or underneath
the greenhouse. Raise
the greenhouse on
footings to alleviate
flooding concerns.
Consult with a
gardening or agriculture
expert about the
best way to heat the
greenhouse. Options

abound with electric-,
gas- and propanepowered heating
sources. Some systems
will require venting.
You also will need to
know what is available
and legal in your area.
Check to see if you need
a building permit for
the greenhouse and any
accompanying heating
elements.
Once the greenhouse is
situated, you can begin
to add other items, like
benches, additional
shelving, hooks for
tools, and even an
automated watering or
misting system.
Greenhouses take
commitment, but the
reward is the chance to
enjoy gardening all year
long.

Signs your soil might be compacted
grass begins to suffer. Cooperative
Extension, which is supported by
the United States Department of
Agriculture and the National Institute
of Food and Agriculture, notes that
the following are some sign potential
indicators of compacted soil.
Hard soil: Soil that is difficult, if not
impossible, to penetrate with a shovel
is likely compacted. Even healthy soil
is sometimes resistant to penetration,
but if homeowners put some muscle
into their efforts to penetrate the soil

compacted.

BAUM LUMBER POWERSTORE

Standing water: Water standing on
top of soil for a long time is doing
so because the soil is likely so
compacted that the water, which roots
need to thrive, cannot get through.

growth: Compacted soil prevents
water, nutrients and oxygen from
accessing the root zone. As a result,
plants, including trees, are vulnerable
to disease and even death.

Excessive water runoff: Runoff occurs
when watering lawns. But if nearly
all of the water intended for the lawn
and the soil beneath it is seemingly
being diverted away from the grass,
then that means the water cannot get
through to the soil or that so little is
JHWWLQJ�WKURXJK�WKDW�WKH�ODZQ·V�KHDOWK�
is in jeopardy.

Surface crust: Surface crust, which
blocks oxygen and water from
penetrating the soil and tends to
inflict areas like footpaths and
playgrounds due to heavy foot traffic,
contributes to runoff and soil erosion.
Compacted soil is relatively simple to
fix. But when untreated, compacted
soil can threaten lawns, plants and
other vegetation.

ompacted soil can result from
any number of activities,
including walking on a lawn.
When soil on a lawn is compacted,
grass roots might not receive the
water, oxygen and nutrients they
need to grow in strong. The can lead
to weak lawns that are vulnerable to
various issues. However, homeowners
need not avoid their lawns to prevent
soil compaction. Rather, learning to
recognize signs of soil compaction
and paying special attention to
heavily trafficked areas of the yard
can help homeowners identify the
problem early and address it before
