It's been a long time since the Tooth Fairy stopped by my household. My children have seen their baby teeth come and go and be replaced by the grown up teeth. My daughter's been through braces and she's had a few "extra" teeth yanked to make room for her smile.
But it's a great tradition, this Tooth Fairy, this night-time visitor who bequeaths a few coins or a few dollars for each bit of enamel our youngsters shed.
Now USA Today has reported on a study by Visa out last week that says the average rate the Tooth Fairy has paid in 2012 is about $3, up 15 percent from last year.
Visa's news release also showed these findings:
- 3 percent of children receive less than a dollar, down from 7 percent last year.
- 30 percent of children receive exactly $1. Last year's survey showed that 29 percent of children received exactly $1.
- 13 percent of children receive between $2 to $4, down from 18 percent last year.
- 18 percent of children receive $5, the same amount as compared to last year.
- 8 percent of children receive more than $5, compared to 3 percent last year.
Would it surprise you to know that Visa also has an app for that? Yeah, you can check the going rate for a tooth on your iPhone or iPad. The author of The Atlantic's article on the topic opens by saying, "I can't decide if the following news is grisly, hilarious, or postmodernly depressing."
How about you? Grisly, hilarious or depressing? What's the Tooth Fairy leave in your household for a lost tooth? Do you feel peer pressure to make sure the Tooth Fairy "keeps up with the Joneses"?

To the Editor:
Cumberland Times-News
I would like to respond to the editorial "Ante up: Amazon.com customers in W.Va. must pay sales tax" in the Sept. 25 Times-News.
Before addressing the on line sales tax issue, I must first state that every time I see the government doing anything to increase taxes, I want to grab someone by the neck and scream "How about stopping all the waste before asking for more?"
In the same issue was a report on West Virginia awarding illegal contracts for tower work ("Audit: West Virginia tower project ignored purchasing laws," Page 1B).
If the legal process was followed, would tax money have been saved? Quite possibly. In the past couple of months this newspaper had at least two reports on a number of discrepancies found from audits on some of Maryland government programs which has undoubtedly cost the state thousands and maybe millions of wasted tax dollars.
The $100 hammers and $1,000 toilet seats are still being bought.
Why don't we ever hear of our representatives striving to eliminate the untold waste, again, before asking for more?
Keep this in mind during next year's electioneering and when the incumbents want your vote to continue throwing your taxes away.
As far as the sales tax issue, if the brick and mortar stores and our "representatives" want to be completely honest and fair, then all sales taxes, whether on line or from a located sale, should go to the home state of the purchaser.
Forgetting the prices and the advantages on buying at a located store, the only difference between buying something on line out of state or if I go to Maryland or Pennsylvania and buy the same item, is that I brought it back to (and used it in) West Virginia instead of having it shipped.
West Virginia should get the taxes on that purchase. And vice versa for anyone from Maryland or Pennsylvania buying in West Virginia. This would put everyone on a level playing field.
Let all the businesses start collecting sales taxes for, and sending it back to, the respective states. It's only fair.
And, I beg our "representatives" that before considering the above, please stop squandering our tax dollars before wanting more from us. Enough is enough.
Norman Launi
New Creek, W.Va.

Last May, we did a post on emergency preps for two dollars or less. Since many would say that we are in worse economic territory now than we were a year ago, it seemed only fitting to consider "Cheap Preps, Part 2."
When checking the cost of survival equipment, pricey gear seems to be the new normal. But the frugal shopper can still find real bargains that could prove to be lifesavers at the right time and place.
Here are some more preparedness items hovering around the $2 mark:
While teaching an Urban Survival class this past weekend, the topic of storing your own drinkable water came up in conversation many times. How much water you should have on hand, how you bottle it, and where you store it are the three most common concerns.
So let us suppose for a moment that your town's or region's normal water supply has been cut off. You'll be on your own for drinking, cooking, and some basic hygiene. In the realm of water, being prepared for emergencies means keeping water on hand, and also being ready to disinfect more water as needed.
The signal whistle is probably the most useful piece of survival gear that people are NOT usually carrying today. Sure it's natural for us to crave a wicked looking survival knife. And your instincts are right on the money if you want to have explosive fire starting tools. But that humble signal whistle can end up catching someone's attention, and draw in your rescue team if you are too banged up to be using that survival knife or fire starter. And that rescue is your ticket home.
Winter has to be the best time of year for a warm cup of tea. Oddly enough, the outdoors is full of wild plants that can give us richly flavored and nutritious teas during the colder months.
As always, when dealing with wild plants for food and beverages, you have to be 100 percent certain that you are dealing with the right plant and using it correctly. The last thing you want is a cup of tea cup brewed with a deadly plant by mistake. Deaths from water hemlock are reportedly the most common plant related fatality in U.S.
There's no shortage of choices when it comes to food storage right now. Food storage companies are springing up out of nowhere, and they're marketing as hard as they can.
But let's say you are dyed-in-the-wool self provider, and you're interested in stocking up on some grain. And let's say that you don't want to spend $50 plus shipping for a single bucket of grain. How do you get started by yourself?
Working with rain-soaked fire materials and without any fire starters or accelerants from home on hand can be a very challenging scenario. Enter the "fuzz stick."
Throughout much of North America, tree sugaring time is near or already underway. Depending on the weather and your latitude, you will have trees with running sap between January and early March. Some of these trees can be sources of water if you get caught without anything to drink. Other trees can provide live-saving calories at one of the roughest times of the year for survival.
The thick winter coats of furbearers are the best pelts of the year. Hopefully, your trap line and predator hunting forays will bring you many of these beautiful skins. A happy problem arises when it comes time to tan them all.
There are specialized tools, chemicals, and materials that make the life of a modern tanner relatively easy, but you can still do a respectable job of tanning pelts with common tools and materials that you probably already have.
Meteorologists are predicting a massive blizzard will hit the Northeast bringing high winds and up to two feet of snow. The storm will likely hit the New York City area Thursday night and continue into Connecticut and Massachusetts through Friday.
According to ABC News: "Forecasts called for as much as 9 inches of snow across central Michigan, a foot and a half in the Hudson Valley region of New York, and 2 feet or more across coastal New England. Possible hurricane-force winds off Massachusetts and Rhode Island also made flooding a threat."
Ever had a thermos, Nalgene, or your favorite canteen swell to its breaking point in winter's cold temps? Whatever activity you were doing outdoors in sub-freezing temperatures, it's likely that you didn't need that extra hassle.
Staying warm can be a full time job, and keeping an ample supply of water in liquid form can also be a constant chore. So how do you keep your bottles from busting and your water filters from breaking? And what's the best way to consume snow?

I haven't seen this posted here yet... but this might be of interest to anyone who follows the Paralympic sporting events, or is all for grass-roots efforts of making figure skating opportunities accessible and improved for all.
To date ice skating is not a Paralympic event (but sledge hockey is).
There's mention on the facebook group below that the first ever "Dumfries Impaired Skating Trophy" was held as an international event for both speed skating and figure skating. Entries/Results for this competition can be found at http://www.impairedskating.org/infor...ntries-results. Turnout is notable, but small with most figure skating entries from GBR/IRL. Speedskating had entrants from GBR, RUS, and CAN.
A report was submitted to the ISU, which can be accessed at http://www.impairedskating.org/plane...lenged-skaters (look for the link "ISU Report 2012 final"). They mention that this report received a mention at the ISU World Congress from David Dore.
They are aiming to be included in the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics... with a dream of 2014 Sochi Russia.

MALONE — The committee studying a bed tax in Franklin County says another panel should be formed now to begin deciding how, if the state gives the OK for the 5 percent fee, the new tax money will be spent.
As final details are settled for the draft local law, the group recommends keeping the tourism-marketing momentum going by forming a committee to look at existing activities and generate additional related projects to generate economic development and job creation.
Members of this new committee would represent different facets of the business and tourism industry and determine how best to spend bed-tax money.
At least two of the seven committee members would be from the south end of the county.
Two seats on the tourism-advisory committee would be represented by owners of accommodations, and there would be one representative each from a local attraction, recreation, retail/restaurant and camping.
The final slot would be a person representing vacation-rental owners, cottages, bed-and-breakfasts and condominiums even though the bed-tax committee acknowledges that enforcement of bed-tax collection from those places would be difficult.
Lodging owner Ernest Holmeyer of Lake Clear said such places should still be included in the law, but there needs to be an educational component to show the owners that being part of the marketing and promotion of the county can be a benefit to them.
He said the advisory committee should get going now and bring in Cornell Cooperative Extension, St. Lawrence County-based fishing-promotion group FISHCAP and others interested in promoting tourism-related events in Franklin County "so when the bed tax comes to fruition, we're ready to go."
"We have to muscle up and be more proactive," Holmeyer said.
Building an advisory framework that includes the Industrial Development Agency is also wise since it can access development-loan or technical-assistance programs, he said.
That means, if all goes as hoped, more rooms could be built for guests to use that would generate more bed-tax and sales-tax revenue in the county.
The advisory committee would be expected to take several months to familiarize itself with tourism initiatives already in place, review new ideas and recommend to the County Legislature what projects should be pursued.
If legislators approve the recommendations, the committee would turn the work over to Fawn Tatro, the county's part-time tourism director, who also works part time for the IDA and the District Attorney's Office.

IL: Drought Lingers, Pension Reform in Limbo
SPRINGFIELD — A severe drought devastating crops throughout Illinois prompted concerns about the potential costs of disaster aid and crop insurance payouts later this year.
And House lawmakers will take up pension reform when they return to the Capitol for a special session Aug. 17. Here is the week in review:
Taxpayers on the hook for millions in crop insurance payouts
An environmental watchdog says taxpayers nationwide, including Illinois, will be on the hook for millions, if not billions, of dollars in crop insurance for grain farmers hit hard by this summer's devastating drought.
Government aid, mostly in the form of low-interest loans, will not provide much help for farmers suffering through the drought because of the slow, creeping nature of the disaster. Taxpayers foot much of the bill for crop insurance premiums, overhead costs for the insurers and more. About 80 percent of Illinois farmers have crop insurance.
"And when losses get really big, like they're likely to be this year because of this horrible drought, taxpayers are going to end up on the hook for the vast majority — over 90 percent — of the loss," said Craig Cox, senior vice president of the Environmental Working Group, which tracks farm subsidies.
But safety nets, like crop insurance, help eliminate some of the risk for grain farmers, said John Hawkins, spokesman for the Illinois Farm Bureau.
"If we have another year like this, you'd probably have a lot of people just get out of the business. People wouldn't be very eager to enter (farming) either, because of the investment and time," Hawkins said. "Whenever you have a disaster like this you're always glad there is crop insurance or some kind of cushion there that farmers can depend on to get them through the short times, so that when we have normal crops we'll still be there."
It could be a record year for insurance payouts because of the drought, which stretches across much of the country. Estimates run from nearly $20 billion by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to $40 billion by the Iowa Farm Bureau. No one will know, until the harvest is in and the insurance companies make their payments.
House lawmakers may take up pension reform in August
State House lawmakers may vote on a pension-reform measure when they convene for a special session Aug. 17 here.
The House will meet to consider expelling indicted state Rep. Derrick Smith, D-Chicago. But Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, also could call a vote on pension reform.
We Are One Illinois, a consortium of unions representing state workers, issued a statement this week, saying Madigan told the coalition that he is considering calling the matter for a vote — but only regarding pensions for lawmakers and state workers. Teacher pension reform would not be included.
"We have no certain knowledge of (Madigan's) intent," the statement read. "We reiterated to him today our willingness to work with the legislative leaders to develop a fair pension solution."
The state Senate approved a pension bill in May with bipartisan support. That bill allows state employees to retain compounded cost-of-living adjustments to their pensions, if they give up state-sponsored health insurance and have future pay raises count toward their pension. Workers who accept lower cost-of-living adjustments would keep their insurance and have their raises count toward their pension.
The House's attempt to pass pension reform faltered in the final hours of the legislative session over a plan to shift pension costs from the state to local school districts. Legislative leaders have been meeting regularly in Chicago since to hammer out their difference about the reform.
Ronald Holmes, spokesman for Senate President John Cullerton, D-Chicago, said the Senate has no plan to convene Aug. 17 because the pension-reform bill they passed is in the House's hands.
"We've done this, and now we're encouraging the House to do the same," he said. "At the same time, we can continue trying to figure out how to solve this cost-shift issue. This is real savings that we're talking about here."
Quinn spokeswoman Brooke Anderson said Gov. Pat Quinn wants lawmakers to take up pension-reform as soon as possible.
"The governor will continue to push until we resolve this and restore fiscal stability to Illinois," she said.
Feds subpoena two state lawmakers
Federal investigators have subpoenaed records for at least two state lawmakers, according to news reports this week.
A July 18 subpoena requested records of state Rep. Connie Howard, D-Chicago, who resigned from her lawmaker post on July 9 The subpoena requests records to and from the "Constance A. 'Connie' Howard Technology Scholarship Fund."
Investigators also want notes, meeting minutes, transcripts and reports issued by the state House Computer Technology Committee from 2000 through 2007. Howard was chairwoman of the committee some of those years, according to reports.
A 2010 subpoena, obtained by the Chicago Tribune, showed investigators sought financial records from Howard's 34th District, including vouchers, employee time sheets and communication between 2006 and 2009.
Investigators also are looking at college tuition waivers awarded by state Rep. Dan Burke, D-Chicago, according to the Tribune. A Chicago grand jury on March 21 subpoenaed information about Burke's "procedures for the establishment, awarding and operation of the Illinois General Assembly Scholarship," as well as records "pertaining to receipt of any funds or gift in connection with the award of the scholarship, including the identity of any person/entity giving any funds or gift, the amount or gift received, and the date received."
In addition, federal investigators last month subpoenaed the scholarship records of state Sen. Annazette Collins, D-Chicago.

CONNERSVILLE – The Lady Lion track team traveled to Connersville for the IHSAA track sectional. The host Lady Spartans won the team title with 127 points. Hagerstown was second with 98 followed by Rushville with 94.5.
Union County finished fourth with 85 followed by Richmond 62, Cambridge City Lincoln 56, Centerville 46, Seton Catholic 23, Tri 12.5 and Northeastern 11.
The Lady Lions had two individual champions on the day. Ellie Sammons won the discus with a school record toss 122-7 and Kylee Elleman won the pole vault. Sammons also advanced to the regional in the shot put.
A total of 12 Lady Lions will advance to the regional next week at Shelbyville.
Regan Laker advanced in both the 100 and 300 hurdles.
The 3200 relay team of Mikayla Dougherty, Monica Dougherty, Tiffany Nickel and Brooke Drake advanced to the regional.
Jacquelyn Hastings advanced in both the high jump and the long jump.
Samm Harrison will join Elleman in the pole vault event at the regional.
The 400 relay team of Autumn Meece, Katy Newbold, Marisa Hall and Hastings advanced to compete in the regional.
"As a coach, you look forward to moments when everything comes together for your team, and last night the girls really performed extremely well. We have talked all year about putting forth the effort it takes to be successful. Sophomore Ellie Sammons has been throwing incredibly well in practice lately, so we knew she had a really great throw in her. I'm not sure any of us thought she would break the school record last night though, which makes it even more special for her. If she continues to throw really well and improve, she has a legitimate shot to become the first Lady Lion track athlete to compete at the state level in quite a long time," Coach Jim Helsley said. "Overall, the team had a top four finish in nine events. Seniors Mikayla Dougherty and Autumn Meece truly anchored for their respected relays teams. They were paired with a team of mainly underclassmen and helped guide them to regional. This was a night to really be proud of all of these girls."

The original Guild Wars stood apart from its World of Warcraft-aping peers via its subscription-free, PVP-focused world, and its sequel takes that innovation to another level. In our review, we called Guild Wars 2 "a call to arms" to the stagnating MMORPG, due its considered approach to every aspect of the genre and its deep respect for the free time of its players.
There's enough here to keep you busy for years, but don't be surprised if you spend the majority of that time simply exploring the world, admiring the game's countless stunning vistas.

Cash in with coupons
Clipping coupons hardly sounds like a lesson in high finance. Save 50 cents on cat litter, dish soap, a few boxes of cereal — who has time? One way to stretch the family dollars in is by "couponing," or finding, collecting, and using coupons to save money on goods purchased.
Research shows an increasing number of people are using coupons. In the United States, consumers redeemed 3.3 billion coupons in 2009 — a 27 percent leap from 2008, according to a report listed in January 2010 by Inmar, a coupon-processing agent.
The individual amounts of money may seem small at first glance, but someone who consistently saves $25 a week will save $100 a month and $1,200 a year.
Finding coupons: Coupons are traditionally found in magazines, grocery stores, billing statements (e.g., credit card), and newspapers. Additionally, some newspapers may include mailers during the week that offer coupons and other specials. You may also contact grocery stores, commercial food producers, and other companies directly to receive coupons in the mail or via e-mail notification. At times, companies may have kiosks or informational displays in stores where you can get coupons or sign up for promotions.
Marketers are increasingly responding to consumers' demands by using the Internet and cellphone/smartphone applications to distribute coupons. Technology also makes it easier for consumers to take charge by seeking out coupons, super-saver deals, and free items on marketing websites.

UVa students took their late night safety concerns to the University Transit Service. In response, UTS will begin offering extended late-night bus service for a four-weekend trial period beginning April 7.
Regular UTS service usually ends at 12:15 a.m. The new extended hours will end at 3 a.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.
"We're hoping that there is enough passenger demand that people actually ride the bus at that hour to justify a mass transit response to a transportation need at that hour of the day," said Rebecca White, the Director of the University Transit Service.
Officials said if they do reach an acceptable number of passengers, the extended hours will continue in the fall.

A woman charged in a 2011 robbery that turned fatal was found guilty of two class A felonies in a Clark County court Friday.
Katrina Baker, 27, of Jeffersonville, had been charged with robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery.
Her convictions have a combined advisory sentence of 60 years in prison, with a maximum of 100 years.
For her involvement in the robbery, Baker received $60 and 18 prescription pills.
The charges stem from an incident that took place near her 213 Kopp Ave. home the night of Oct. 21. and resulted in the murder of Anthony Redd, a man known to deal prescription pills to Baker who would provide payment, at times, through sexual favors.
Baker had been providing oral sex to Anthony Redd in his parked pickup truck about 11 p.m., when her uncle Joseph Mayes approached the vehicle and fatally shot the man through a slit in driver's-side window.
Clark County Deputy Prosecutor Jennifer Harmeyer, in her first major felony trial, successfully argued to the jurors during the trial, which began Monday, April 15, that Baker had conspired with Mayes to rob Redd.
Mayes was convicted of the crime in November 2012.
He was provided a plea deal that modified his murder charge to voluntary manslaughter. The charge specified that Mayes acted out of sudden heat when he saw his niece in the sexual act with Redd.
Baker was also offered a blind plea, which she denied, that would have involved her accepting a B felony conviction.
Harmeyer said after the hearing that she was pleased to have provided justice to the Redd family.
"It feels good to give justice to the victims in this case," Harmeyer said. "It is something our office wants to do. It is something our office should do. We got a good result today."
One of the few faces that appeared in the gallery area of the courtroom belonged to Redd's 25-year-old daughter, Laken Brown, of New Albany.
"I wanted to see him get justice and my family get justice," Brown tearfully said. "This whole process has taken a toll on his mother, and it feels like we lost two people at once."
She said it was important that she attend each day of the trial, as well as the hearings of the Mayes case last year.
"It was messed up the way he died, so I just want to see the whole thing through," she said. "It feels very good that the court found both of them guilty of these things and that we finally got the truth to the whole situation."
Baker was represented by court-appointed attorney Thomas Bird, of New Albany, and Bradley Jacobs, of Jeffersonville.
Jacobs said the jurors had made a request during their deliberation, which he thinks may have led to a guilty verdict.
"They wanted to see the deposition of Joseph Mayes, the only thing in the deposition of Mayes is that there was no plan [to rob Redd]," he said. "So, I want to find out why they wanted to see that and what they used it for. I have to say that I am surprised."
He said he will tell Baker to remain positive between now and the plea sentencing hearing.
"Stay optimistic," he said of the advice he will provide to her. "There is still a sentencing. There is still an appeal. We still have a handful of options that can get her out before, forever. We will just try to get her to keep her head up and stay optimistic."
Baker is scheduled to return to court for her sentencing hearing at 9:30 a.m. on May 30.

|4th September 2007—7th January 2010
|Participant List
Temperate grassland is among the most globally endangered of ecosystem types, as it is highly threatened by the expansion of agriculture, the intensification of grazing pressure, and other human activities. I will be focusing on grassland conservation strategies for Argentina, where much of the best remaining temperate grassland can be found. Using a return on investment approach, I will explore how the inclusion of economic information can improve the quality of environmental planning for Argentinean grassland and for conservation in general.

This recipes is very good, but I changed it up a little. I cooked my chicken in olive oil and some seasonings. I used 2 cans of cream of chicken soup and 1 can of broth, and for some extra flavoring I used more regular chili powder and a few dashes of hot chili powder because my husband likes a little kick! I used 2 cans of garlic, basil, and oregano flavored tomatoes and only canned green beans and corn for the vegetables. I decided to add rotini pasta as suggested in another review and my family and I decided this made the chili so much better. If you do add the pasta, you will have to add about a cup or two of water. It was delicious and I will definitely make this again!
EXCELLENT recipe! I turned this soup into a hearty stew by making only a few changes. I did what some reviewers did by browning your cubed chicken with olive oil, lots of garlic, garlic salt, and pepper. Also, I only used one can of chicken broth and added one cup of water. Then during the last 10 minutes of simmering I added half a box of rotini pasta. Turned out perfect and delicious! Thank you!

This recipe is great. In the morning, I throw all the ingredients into my crockpot (chicken and veggies still frozen!) and by the time I get home from work, I've got a delicious stew. I crumble up some tortilla chips in it...my husband and I love it!

By Jeff Noble
LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
The drive up the hill to St. Camillus Academy was a somber one Wednesday morning.
At the top of the hill, in front of the buildings where students have classes, and in front of a fountain, there is a statue of St. Francis. He has a bird perched on his right shoulder. With his left hand and arm, he comforts a lamb, as he looks down.
Combined with the news that the school will close in May, and the cold, rainy day that hung over Corbin like a thick blanket, the saint's looking down was especially poignant.
For those parents who have children going to school there, the pace of life was a little slower and sadder Wednesday. That's because their children were told the news of the closing that morning.
"It's a very sad day. Nobody wants to see St. Camillus leave. It's more than just a school," said Pam Mills of Corbin.
Her 8-year-old son is in the second grade there, and it's his fourth year at the school.
"They've been a second family to me. We'll do everything we can to keep it open," Mills noted.
For Raji Patil and her family, the closing in May of St. Camillus will be a void that needs to be filled.
"I was there today when they told the kids the school was closing. It was very sad. Everybody was in tears. The teachers, the students, and some of the parents. People were trying to figure out what happened, and what would happen next," she said Wednesday.
Patil and her husband have two children who go to the school. Their 7-year-old is a second grader, while their 5-year-old is in kindergarten. She also serves on the school board, who heard the news Tuesday evening.
Patil said the initial shock of the news that night at the school board meeting would eventually give way to what she hopes will be action.
"When the superintendent of the diocese announced it at the meeting, we were in utter shock. Then after a few minutes, we all rallied around the idea of hope. … Our two children love the personal attention with the smaller classes. It really is a family atmosphere there. We're hoping that we can get grants and donations to keep our doors open. I like to think of this as an investment in our future by keeping the school alive. I'm hoping this won't be the end."

Liming Ponds
Watch videos about the use of granulated agricultural limestone to increase the effectiveness of fertilizers.
Liming is essential before most ponds can be effectively fertilized. Many times, ponds will not respond to fertilization if bottom muds are acidic. Under these conditions, agricultural limestone must be applied to correct the acidity. If the pond fails to develop a plankton bloom after repeated applications of fertilizer, mud samples should be taken from the pond's bottom.
Mud samples should be taken from several different areas of the pond, then mixed together while wet to form a representative sample. The sample should then be spread on a piece of plastic or wood to dry. After drying, a soil test box (from the county extension office) should be filled with the dried mud and sent for analysis to: Soil Testing Laboratory, 961 S. Donahue Drive, Auburn University, AL 36849-5411; their telephone number is (334) 844-3958. The sample box should be labeled "fish pond." A nominal fee will be charged for each analysis. (Note: Many ponds in Alabama's Black Belt or those with limestone springs will not need lime. If in doubt; take samples of the bottom mud, mix and dry the mud, and have it analyzed.)
If a representative mud sample cannot be taken, then a jar of pond water should be delivered to the local district fishery biologist for a check of the alkalinity. Alkalinity is a measure of the bases in water. Bases neutralize acidity. In general, if alkalinity is less than 20 ppm, lime is needed.
When lime is required, agricultural limestone (calcitic lime) should be applied. Do not use slaked lime or builders' lime, which can be toxic to fish and dangerous to handle. Lime will have to be applied periodically (3-5 years) during the life of most ponds if effective fertilization is to be practiced. Lime must be applied evenly over the whole pond to make certain all of the bottom mud is covered.
If the pond is new, it should be limed heavily by spreader truck or tractor before filling, since liming is much more difficult after the pond collects water. Liming is labor intensive so many pond owners prefer to apply two to three times the recommended rate to increase the interval between applications. Some pond owners are physically unable to apply the weight of lime needed (tons); therefore, consultants are available that will apply the lime for a fee. A list of consultants is available from the Alabama Cooperative Extension System.

Todd Graham has not lost faith in QB Taylor Kelly
After a "high-octane" start to the season filled with blowouts and dazzling performances by quarterback Taylor Kelly, ASU's offense has run out of gas.
Now on a four-game losing streak, the Devils are scrambling to score points and Kelly is starting to feel the heat.
Arizona State head coach Todd Graham was on Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Monday and expressed confidence in his sophomore signal caller.
"Our faith in Taylor [Kelly] has not changed," Graham said. "He is our starter and will be [moving forward]."
Kelly might have earned that faith from his performance early in the year. Through the first six games of the season, he threw 14 touchdowns and just two interceptions.
But in the last two games, Kelly has completed just 41 for 71 and had two touchdowns with four interceptions. He has also been sacked eight times.
listen Listen: Todd Graham, ASU Head Football Coach
Todd Graham calls into the show to discuss factors that lead to the Sun Devils loss to USC this past weekend. Graham states that ASU needs to eliminate mental errors and make better adjustments to win games. Taylor Kelly will remain the starting quarterback, but what needs to be done to put him in better positions to be successful?
Graham feels that ASU's inability to protect Kelly is why the young quarterback hasn't been himself lately and feels "any person that is under that kind of duress is going to struggle to play well."
"We've done a poor job of protecting him and I think we've probably done a poor job adjusting," Graham said. "As the season goes on, when people are game planning you and taking away things you are doing, you got to have other guys step up. We've got to step up to come up with some wrinkles here and there to help take the pressure of him."
Kelly and his offense should have an opportunity to find their rhythm this week when they welcome in Washington State for the last home game of the season.
The Cougars' defense is ninth in the Pac-12 in total defense and is giving up 33 points per game.
