Prior to 2006, those organiLations were not required to file, but the law changed with the Pension Protection Act of 2006. The Act requires all non-profit organizations, regardless of annual income, to file information with the IRS. with the exception of churches and church related groups. Organizations that fail to file for three consecutive years will automatically lose tJleir tax-exempt status. Those small organizations, ones with less than $25,000 in annual receipts, can submit a Form 990-N (e-Postcard) through the IRS.

Murder victim's wife: Justice turns 'way too slow' BY JULIE CARR SMYTH ASSOCIATED PRESS LUCASVILLE ~ As the man who killed her husband lay repeating the ''Hail Mary" in his final moments. widow Susan Craig viewed it as the last 17 minutes of a quartercentury ordeal. "I was thinking that this is his last couple of minutes on this· Earth," Craig said after Michael Beuke was executed by lethal injection at 10:53 a.m. '(hw-sday for the murder of Robert Craig. "''m not going to say· he had the right to that." The Ohio Supreme Court had tumed down Bueke's final appeal about 90 minutes earlier. Beuke,48, who admitted to his crimes ·~md expressed remorse. became known as the "homicidal hitchhiker" after killing the 27-year-old Craig and shooting two others dU1ing a tht~e-week string of shootings that terrotized the Cincinnati area in 1983. All three victims were driving when they stopped and gave Beuke a tide. . 'Susan Craig said it snuck her that her ·husband has now been dead as long as he was alive and Beuke was on Death Row all that time. "It was way, way too long," she said. "I suppose the wheels of justice tum· slowly, but that wa~ way too slow." The length of his prison time was a factor in Beuke 's last-ditch effort this week to prevent his execution. Late Wedresday night. he lost appeals before the U.S. Supreme Cow1. · one of which sought to persuade justices he'd been on death row so long the execution would be unconstitutionally cruel ru1d setve no purpose. Beuke also sought a legal reptieve by arguing that presctiption medicine he takes could interfere with a drug called for in Ohio's backup execution method. which has never been used. But the state used its primary method Thursday: a single dose of a powerful anesthetic. The Ohio Supreme Co\.lrt case related to a previously unsuccessful claim that brain damage contributed to Beuke 's violent behavior. His lawyer., said recent brain scans and expert conclusions showed Beuke suftered from moderate to severe brain damage. Beuke spent an emotional 24 hours at the Southem Ohio Correctional Facilit) '"here Ohio's death 1ouse is located ahead of his execution. Prisons spokeswoman Julie Walbum said he cried frequently, played music on a portable keyboard and consulted with his spiritual advisers, to whom the prison released his body. Beuke was convicted Oct. 5. 1983, of aggravated murder for Craig's death. He also was found guilty of the attempted slayings of Gregory Wahoff of Cincinnati and BtUce Graham, then from West Harrison, Ind. While on the gurney. Beuke looked directly at Susan Craig and at Wahoffs children. Dawn ru1d PauL and apologized for all three shootings.

Syracuse Village and Minersville. The special election will require 24 poll workers if the Southern bond issue remains the sole issue on the ballot. the According · to MCBOE. the wording/millage for the bond issue/maintenance levy which will appear on the Aug. 3 ballot is identical to the one that appeared on the ballot in the May 4 ptimary election. Nothing has changed. Southem is taking a risk requesting the special election and taking an issue, which was defeated earlier this month, back to the voters. However. Southern officials feel the risk is wotth it and this is the district's shot at receiving $7.4 million of state money to build the new high school, which is 75 percent of the construction If the bond costs. issue/maintenance levy fails to pass and therefore fails to finance the remaining 25 percent of construction costs, Southern likely moves to the bottom of the list for funding from the Ohio School Facilities Commission. Southem has until Aug. 24 to secure local funding fur the project: Aug. 24 marks the one-year anniversary officials agreed to find the local match for funding the project. The OSFC denied Southern an extension to place the issue on the ballot in November's general election which is why officials decided to go with the special election which will occur just before the Aug. 24 deadline. Again, the millage on the bond issue will stay the same as it appeared in the prinlal) election with the local share calculated at 2.7 mills to generate around $3.9 mHlion. This Mine 'still active' BY DELYSSA HUFFMAN OHUFFMAN@MYDAILYREGISTER.COM NEW HAVEN. W.Va. - The Mine Safety a~ 1 Health Administration (MSHA) recently relea information about the Rroad Run Coal Mine in Ne Haven. W.Va., that was shut down April 9 with no reason given. According to Amy Louviere, Public Affairs Director for MSHA. the coal mine is still active. "At least one mobile mining unit (MMU) is operating since the layoffs in April:· Louviere said. Officials at the district office in Morgantown stated that the coal mine's operator did lay some people off during the incident. But during the time in April, workers stated that the mine sent them home for unknown reasons. It was speculated that flooding had occurred at the mine, leading to the shutdown, but Louviere said she had no information in regard to that allegation. Mine officials still have yet to release a statement regarding the closure on April 9 and have not provid~ ed any information about the layoff. Gallia-Meigs Forecast I I I j .I Sunday...Partly sunny.

Dear T.C.: Blo!!gin!! docs seem like it ;night present the opportunity for kids• to brag about misbehavior or egg each other on to potentially risky behaviors. In fact, though, this seems to be a relatively minor role of the personal blogs that kids - mostly teens - post through a variety of websites, most recently Facebook, · MySpace and Twitter. A pilot study done using a public blogging website in 2007, published in the current issue of the Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal. presents these blogs in a quite positive ·light. During a month of blog posting, kids wrote infrequently about problem behavior, instead sharing their normal day-to-day activities and feelings. They also showed creative expression \'ia poetry and song lyrics, and seemed to use blogging in lieu of the talking on the telephone that was common in previous generations. One important thing to keep in mind for healthy Internet use is that you as a parent can supervise not only what sites your child has access to, but also what he is sharing in the blogosphere. This can actually clue you in to problems that might be in the beginning stages, so you can communicate with your son about any feelings or behaviors you think might be questionable. If you can learn to embrace this ne\>\" form of technology, you might even become closer with your son.

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution TOI)AY IN HISTORY Today is Sunday, May 16, the 136th day of 2010. There are 229 days left in the year. .. Today's Highlights in History: On May 16, 1960, a Big Four summ1t conference in Paris collapsed on its opening day as Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev demanded, but did not rece1ve, an apology from President Dwight D. Eisenhower over the U·2 rnc1dent. The f1rst workrng laser was demonstrated at Hughes Research Laboratories in Malibu, Cahf by physicist Theodore Maiman. On this date: In 1770, Marie Antoinette, age 14, married the future King Louis XVI of France, who was 15. In 1866, Congress authorized minting of the first five-cent piece, also known as the "Shield nickel." In 1868, the Senate failed by one vote to convict President Andrew Johnson as 1t took its first ballot on the eleven articles of Impeachment against him. In 1910, the U.S Bureau of Mines was estab· fished (It ceased operations rn 1996, 1ts fu'1ctions havrng been transferred to other agencies.) In 1920, Joan of Arc was canonized by Pope Benedict XV. In 1929, the first Academy Awards were present· ed. The movie "Wings" won "best production," while Emil Jannings and Janet Gaynor were named best actor and best actress. In 1939, the government began its first food stamp program 1n Rochester, N.Y. In 1948, CBS News correspondent George Polk, who'd been covering the Greek civil war between Communist and nationahst forces, was found sla1n m Solonica Harbor. In 1975, Japanese climber Junko Tabei became the first woman to reach the summit of Mount Everest. In 1990, death claimed entertainer Sammy Davis Jr. in Los Angeles at age 64 and "Muppets" creator J1m Henson in New York at age 53. Ten years ago: The Federal Reserve raised its federal funds rate by half a point, the biggest increase in five years.

Thought for Today: "/ want, of course, peace, grace, and beauty. How do you do that? You work for it." - Studs Terkel, American writer (1912-2008). Teachers) bus drivers. deserve appreciation Teachers, bus dri' crs and all the other dedicated men and \vomen on the frontlines in our schools deserve a great deal of thanks and support for all the) do to educate. nurture and keep our children safe. Their efforts not on f) help to better young people's li-ves. but ijre critical to building an education system in Ohio that prepares students to compete in tmlay's lA orkforce and helps lead our state to future economic prosperity. May 3-7 was National TcachC1· Appreciation Week. an opportunit\ to recognize the thousands of outstandin~ teachers in Ohio and acro-.s the ~countn for their \\Ork in and out of the classroom to promote teaming and impnn e their communities. As mam ::.chool di-.tricts near summer "break, I encourage parents and students to take a moment to thank their teachers for all their hard work and contributions this past ycar. Educators are handed a herculean responsibilit) of not onl) teaching our students. but helping to :-.hape their character. Thi-. is done '' ith mam obstacles and \\ ith much second-guessing, but thesl' professionals can: deeply ahout their mission and. want to sec their students succeed. Many teachers go above and be)ond lAhar is asked of them to accom plish this goal. tutoring students before and after school or encouraging kids to contact them in the C\enin!!s and on weekends with questions about homc~A ork or an upcoming exam. Too otten. we take for granted the noble effor1s of our educators v. hilc focusing on the shortcommgs or conflicts of a few. Teachers have many require- John Carey ments they have to fulfill in order to continue teaching. For instance. the most recent state budget implemented a new fourtiered approach for hov. educators are licensed in Ohio. Beginning in 20 LI. ne\\ teachers ''ill be gi\en a four-year. non·rene\\ able resident educator licen~e and will be required to participate in the Ohio Teacher Residency· Program, which will include mentoring by veteran teachers, profe:-.sional de\'elopment counseling and tools to allow new teachers to measure their progress. Once completed. teachers can appl) for a five-year. renewable. professional educator license. There i-. abo a fi\e-year. senior professional educator license for teachers who have earned a Master's Degree and previousl,y held a professional educator license. as well as a fiveyear. lead professional educator license for teachers who have their Master's Degrl:!e and hold a valid certificate from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standard<> or meet other' profes~ sional criteria. Many teachers also spend a lot of money out of their own pockets to purchase classroom supplies and do other things for their students. My <.:hi ldren have had many good teachers growing up in the Wellston Cit) Schools. I urge parents to be imol\ed in their chi!-· dren 's education. Do not be afraid to ask questions and talk to other parents . .\lost educators appreciate it \\hen parents or guardians are engaged and shO\\ interest in \\hat their child is learning. This past week was also~ School Bus Driver Appreciation Da) in Ohio. which is celebrated annual· ly on the first Monday in May in recognition of the more than 20.000 bus drh ers across our state who \\Ork to safe!) transport students to and from -.choof each da\.

Ohio A five-run sixth inning allowed host Athens to break open a three-all tie and claim an 8-3 victory over visiting Gallia Academy on Thursday night in a Division II sectional - baseball final at Rannow Field in Athens County. The third-seeded Blue Devils (16-8)" - who had defeated AHS in each of the previou:" two postseasons - appeared to be in prime position for another upset of the second-seeded Bulldogs(20-6) after rallying back from early deficits of 2-0 and 3-1· after scoring twice in the top of the sixth - making it a three-all contest after five-and-a-half frames. The hosts. however. responded with a fiverun explosion in their half of the sixth, wh1ch ultimately enabled Athens to pull away for the triumph. AHS also never trailed in the contest. The Bulldogs - who captured their second straight TVC Ohio championship this spring - advance to the district semifinals in Chillicothe on Monday to face Logan Elm at 5 p.m. GAHS mustered only five hits in the setback, all of which came from the to"p three spots in the batting order. Caleb Warnimont and Tyler Eastman both had two hits, while Kyle Dingess Rio from PageBl tournament and now moves to the preparation stage in getting ready for the next opponent. "We're happy, our spring trip, we go to Daytona so we're familiar with the area, we've done that bus trip before, our kids are used to it and we're excited and we're playing Faulkner," Warnimont said. "So we're happy that we· re not a four or five seed that we'd have to play in to get to a (No.) one.'' "Now the wheels will start turning as far as pitching rotation and wh~t we're going to do," he added. The Rio-Faulkner match-up will be a preview to one of Rio's early season series in 2011.

Dean Maffin, in relief of Doug Chapman. picked up the win for the hosts. Kyle Dean hit a two homer in the first, helping AHS establish the early 2-0 edge. Both teams added a run in the fifth for a 3-1 contest, then three enors and a pair of walks allowed GAHS to rally back and tie the contest at three. Greg Pach delivered the go-ahead runs in the sixth with a two-RBI double, giving Athens a 5-3 cushion. Dean and Chapman added RBI singles for a 7-3 lead, then Maffin drove in a run on a sacrifice fly to conclude the scoring.

''The league is trying to deal with -,omc realignment tssue-,, how it will be dealt with, and to what ex'tent there would be a need for expansion. "It's way too carl) to even begin dtscussion about or speak1ng to speic schools." he added. o offers have been extended." • The reason. Pergoliui explained. that the C(Jil· stitution of the Mid-State League - a conference of· 24 central Ohio schools of '<U) ing sizes in three dh isions spread out over Fairfield, Franklin. Licking and Pickaway counties. as well as one in extreme eastern Madison County? only allows league administrators to discuss re-alignment and/or expansion every two years. "The end of the 20 lOll school year is the next time the league can be assessed. and there would be no \Ote until then." Pergolizzi said. If such a vote/ re-alignnt came up for discusn in the spring of II. and if it were \Oted on and appnned. ergoliai said the earliest the tvtSL could make changes would be for the 2013'::14 school year. With tv, o do1en schools of'var) ing sizes and locales, and with the inevitable ebb and flow of some districts gett!ng larger and others gcttmg smaller. Pcrgolini said re-alignment~and ex pan sion are always issues that need to be dealt with... but only within the framework of the MSL constitution. For example, Canal Winchester and Tea) s Valley have gro\\ n much bigger than other schools in the Buckeye Di' ision rs t ( A ma nda -C learcree k . Bloom-Carroll. Circle' ille. Fairfield Union. Hamilton I'ov. nship and Logan Elm) and Licking Heights is beginning to out-grow the smallschool Cardinal Division (v\ hich also includes Berne Union. Grandview Heights. Harvest Prep. Lancaster Fisher Catholic. Liberty Union, Millersport and West Jefferson). The Ohio Division. which was added "hen the league made a huge expansion early last decade. is made up of Bexlc). Columbus Academy. Granville. Heath. Hebron Lake\\ ood. Licking Valle). 'lewark Catholic and Whitehall. "The question "e have is whether we can realign with the current (24-school membership) or by expanding," Pergolizzi pointed out. While representatives from a couple MSL s"chools have spoken to Logan and Chilhcothe administrators. neither ha~ been extended an MSL invite. as Pergolizzi potnted out. And~ while discussions can take place between nov..· and next spring. nothing can or will be done until then. Pergolizzi was asked if the league did expand. hO\\ many schools it might include and \\ hether it ''ould become as large as the Ohio Capital Conference. '' hich includes mostly larger suburban Columbus schools inside and around 1-270 sl}4::h as those in and around Westerville, Hilliard, Dublin. Worthington. Pickerington and the Olentangy district. There arc cuJTently four eightschool divisions in the occ. He noted that if the MSL took in schools who had expressed interest in membership. there would " probabl) be more than 32.'' At this point, adminbtrators from the LoganHocking Local School District are taking a "wait-and-see" approach. Steve Stirn, superintendent of L-H schools, noted if the MSL officially approaches Logan, the school would be open to discussion. Logan High School is a charter member of the SEOAL but, along with Gallia Academy and Jackson , are the only charter members still remaining.

For schools in the SEOAL, it's a question of travel, not competition. For example. if Logan and Chillicothc did leave for the MSL, what is basically Logan's shortest SEOAL trip (just under an· hour) would likely become its l1mgcst in the Mid-State League. That's mainly because opening the state Route 33 bypass around .

BY MARK WILLIAMS SPECIAL TO TrlE TIMES·SENTINEL RIO GRANDE - The University of Rio Grande RedStmm men's soccer team has added another player to its 2010 recruitmg class with the signing of John Nocero of Charles Brush High School in Lyndhurst. Ohio. Nocera recently signed his national letter of intent to play at Rio Grande beginning in the fall. Nocero. a 5-foot. I 0inch midfielder. has also played for the Cleveland Blues Soccer Club. serving as team captain. The Rio Grande coaching staff spotted Nocera at a combine in Mentor. Ohio and invited him down to Rio Grande for a tryout. Rio Grande head coach Scott Morrissey i!-> pleased to add Nocera to the program. "We're excited to have John come on board." said Morrissey. ''He ce1tainly has some ability and he comes from a good background. very \\ellcoached. "Will he make varsity'? That remains to be seen. Kobe has noth·ing to say about LeBron's demise EL SEGUNDO. Calif. (AP) - Nike can put those puppets back on the shelf for another summer. Basketball historians anticipating the real-life answers to a delicious theoretical debate must keep waiting. LeBron is gone. from the playoffs and .maybe from Cleveland. James' long-anticipated NBA finals clash with Kobe Bryant is -off again, and it's now distinctly possible it will never happen. Yet if Bryant was even slightly disappointed to leamthat James won't be showing up for a possible career-defining showdown. the Los Angeles Lakers star isn't letting on. Bryant had almost nothing to say Friday about the Cleveland Cavaliers' playoff elimination. which ruined the best chance yet for a finals meeting with James. "I don't know." Bryant said when asked what he thought of Boston':-. Game 6 victory. before an awkward silence with the phalanx of television cameras and digital recorders pointed at him in a back corner of the Lakers · training complex. Surely Bryant realizes the anticipation was extra-high this spring. after the superstars· teams finished atop their respective conferences with two of the NBA's top three records. Nike certainly spent many months hoping for the showcase of t\\':'o top clients. building that unusual advertising campa.gn around their puppet replicas. But while James begins his offseason, Bryant is still <>tanding - albeit on a gimpy ankle - after· persevering through an injury-riddled year. The veteran star won't slow down for the Western Conference finals just because King James isn't waiting on the other side. The series a!!ainst the Phoenix Suns begins Monday night tn Los Angeles. "We have a huge challenge on our hands with the things that they run and ho\\ they play,'' Bryant said. "You have to control the pace and control the turnovers." Bryant didn't practice again for the Lakers. giving him four straight days off the court following their second-round sweep of the Utah Jau. Bryant needs every possible minute to rest his troublesome ankle. his arthritiC finger and a few other maladies thut have turned this season into a grind. Bryant is expected back in practice Saturday along with center Andrew Bynum, who also had four days off to lower the swelling in his injured knee. teammates Bryant's were a bit less guarded with their opinions on the seismic shift in the Eastern Conference following the Cavs' ouster. with Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol both expressing surprise at the result. The East final now matches the Lakers · last two opponents in the NBA finals. "It's a little surprising. but ob' iously Boston has r~ised their level ti·om the regular season:· Gasol said. "We know they're a good team that's capable of doing that. and Cleveland is out.'' Gasol also had a more practical nterest: Cleveland would hav~ had homecomt advantage in an NBA finals meeting after finishing with the league's best ~egular-sea­ son record. Orlando also won two more games than the Lakers in the regular season. ~It's good. because if you have to want to play someone in the finals. you want to have the homecourt advantage ." Gasol said. "I guess it's good that one of the teams is out. but we still have to focus on getting there first." For that, they'll need Bryant's best efforts against the high-scoring Suns and their improved defense. Bryant has scored at least 30 points in five straight playoff games. making more than 52 percent of his shots against Utah. Although he rarely it 111 acknowledges words. Bryant has always seemed to bristle at the suggestion that his basketbafl pre-eminence i~ linked to anybody else. · His partnership with Shaquille O'Neal produced three straight championships and four NBA finals trips in its final five y.ears, yet concluded with Shaq 's abrupt departure amid widespread belief Bryant wanted to be the Lakers · lone superstar. Bryant's teammates believe those titles. along with the ring he won last summer with a near-repl ica of his current team. will be the biggest difference between Bryant and James until LeBron puts a few pieces or jewelry on his ringlcss hand. "Kobe, doesn't have to compare himself to anybody:· said Lakers guard Derek Fisher. also a fourtime champion. "Everybody on our team knows what he means to this team and this game of basketball. That kind of speculation isn't anything real." He is going to get a chance. He is definitely the kind ot player you want to have in a program.'' Nocera likens his style of pia) to that of Rio Grande. "I think that it <Rio Grande) is a e:ood fit because the style~I play is. the style they pia~ ... Nocero said. Nocera noted the si1e of the school as a key fa· · in his decision to sign Rio Grande.· "l like that it's a small school and e\·er'\ one seemed really nice.<· he said. He has not yet ptniX)intcd an area of study that ht: would like to pur~uc. 'Tm undecided and looking over my options." Nocero said. Nocera discussed his strengths as a plaver and also \\ hat he feels 11e needs to work on to get ready t~r the next level of competltion. The goal for Noccro \\ hde playmg at Rio Grande is simply t? help the team be succcsstul. John is the son of Michael and Karen '\lcx:ero of Lyndhur!->t. Ohto.

The event b planned for 6 p.m. on Sunday. May 23 at First Baptist Church in Gallipolis. First Baptist choir director Allen Icenhower \\·ill once again lead the combined choir. He said this year's concert will feature some familiar classic songs of the Christian faith as well as other favolites. A partial song list includes "I Am Redeemed.

The evenin~ will also feature musical sclccuons from individuals and other groups beside the combined choir. Rev. Alvis Pollard. senior pastor at First Baptist, said last year's concert drew more than 600 people to the First Baptist sanctuary. And that figure did not include the combined choir that overflowed the choir loft. "We were amaled how full the church house was," Pollard said. "There was a real onene~s of purpose. People were encouraged." Pollard said the main focus of the concert is the presentation of the gospel of Jesus Chr:st. ''We \\ant to see the tri-county area reached with the gospel.'' he said. "We look at this as a good opportunity to reach out to our tri-county area." As for the future of the combined choir concert, Pollard said organizers will wait on the Lord to see where He leads them.

It's a loss to the entire region. not just Belpre. because over the years as the Middleton dolls grew in popularity as ~col­ lectibles, thousands of tourists were drawn to the area froin across the country. The 37.000 square foot facility housing Middleton Doll was built to resemble a doll house and it was quite something to see. The artistic Lee Middleton died in 1997 and the busmess which once thrived and Charlene Hoeflich emplo) ed about a hundred has gone down to a handful ';,ince then to keep the museum section and the shop open.

I interviewed her soon after she came to Coolville and set I up shop. At that time women 111 the community were se\.\ ing clothes in the1r homes for the beautiful porcelain dolls Lee created. The business outgrew the bank building and in 1989 the move was made to Belpre.

His father is disoriented and lost. He disappears for days at a time. and Aaron tries to keep his garage business running. which has dropped off significantly since his father has become a suspect in his wife's murder. The story has all the elements of a great murder mystef)', plus the very human and tragic tale of the effects of the parents· actions on their children. What is it the Bibile says about "the sins of the fathers'?" The sins of the mothers matter too. Whether describing the bitter winter winds coming off Lake Ontario or the sadness and despair in the hearts of Krista and Aaron. Oates is a masterful '"·riter. There are some very "renching scenes of drug abuse and beatings and emotional suffering. Strange how Oates can get this gritty lifestyle just right while married to a professor and teaching at Princeton. She is prolific and talented, and this is one of her best. Our book club read We Were the Mul\'lmers and The Grm·edigger:'i Daughter. There is plenty to discuss in all three of these novels. She reminds me some of Jodi Picoult, but Oates is the better writer.

"The focus will be on bringing the industry. the breeder and the consumer together to see what's new. lt will involve education with seminars, lectures and displays of cut flowers." You can't go wrong with a lily, Steininger says. ''Most lily cultivars are hardy to minus 20. You can have them in borders, boxes or beds. You can add them to some annuals . You can bring them inside in a vase. Mass them in yards and the clumps will just grow bigger and bigger."

It almost grows itself,'' Crawford said. "It's a whole different ballgame than putting one in the ground. There's less weeding involved and fewer insects to fight.

After a bountiful spring harvest of rhubarb stems, plant needs to send its energy to produce more lea not seeds. Plant leaves produce carbohydrates wh get moved to the root system for next xear's crop. Apply an additional two to three inches of compost in a four foot diameter around the rhubarb plant. The compost supplies nutrients and cools the soil around the plant for better root development. Keep grass and other weeds from around the rhubarb. If possible, pull and destroy any curly dock plants from nearby tields as they are alternative hosts for the insect pest, rhubarb curculio. This insect lays its eggs in the stem of the rhubarb plant and its larvae burrows down as it eats into the c~own of the rhubarb plant. The plant soon wilts and d1es. If you want to divide your plants wait until mid September. Prepare the ground now by removing the grass and incorporating lots of organic matter. Make sure it has plenty of sunlight and the soil is well drained. ••• The late spring blooming shrub!): lilacs. viburnum, and spiraea can be pruned back now that the blooms are fading. If they are old plants cut out the old stems. This should reduce the height and also open up the centers of the plants. Next cut back the remaining stems up to two feet if the plant is sti ll too tall. By cutting now, new side branches will form with the ~<?wer .buds for next year's bloom. Apply a cup of fer·ttlizer like 5-I 0-10 or 10-10-10 around each plant's root system, if they weren't fertilized earlier this spring. ••• Reminder: Meigs County Master Gardeners are ho. ing their Lunch and Learn Gardening Series beginni May 19 at 12:05 p.m. at the Pomeroy Mini Park.

But spring is when this canot-shaped root really shines. At the very least. parsnips need to go through an autumn frost or two in order to turn some of their starches into sugars. But. when they're allowed to winter over before being dug up, their flavors become much sweeter and richer than in the fall. Though parsnips differ in flavor from carrots, they can be cooked in many of the same ways - boiled, mashed. roasted. Very young parsnips can be eaten rl but older ones need to be cooked to bring out their t derness and subdue their somewhat pungent flavor.
