Question about Satsuma tangerine tree
I am thinking about planting a satsuma tangerine tree. Is this the only seedless tangerine? My sister planted two satsuma trees and one was really sweet and delicious and the other was not nearly as good. I think maybe one was not labeled correctly. What really is the best variety of tangerine? I really want a seedless. Does both standard and dwarf trees produce the same quality of fruit? I have room for a standard tree so I was thinking maybe of planting a standard, but my sisters tree is a dwarf, which had the wonderful tasting fruit. Thanks for any help.
Mandarin would be the correct technical term instead of tangerine.
Most mandarins, even the "seedless" types will have seeds when cross pollinated. you need to isolate these mandarins from other pollen donors, and so if you have other citruses around, for sure you will have seeds on some of them. but there is an exception, and it happens to be best tasting (of course subjective, and depends where and how you grow it). The one consistently rated to be the best seedless mandarin is the Seedless Kishu. It is a mutant form of Kishu where for one reason or another, seeds will not form even when cross pollinated.
There are many varieties of Satsuma mandarin, though in California Owari is the main available one. Maybe it was a different and not as tasty strain of Satsuma. I would also recommend for seedless or very rare seeds : Gold Nugget, Pixie(somewhat bland and growers say at its best only in Ojai Valley), or the new Tahoe Yosemite and Shasta Gold though I havent tried them myself.
Here is a link that might be useful: Tangerine varieties
Gold nugget is definitely one of the best that I have tasted especially when grown in So Cal. But it has seeds.
So far Yosemite Gold and Shasta Gold have disappointing taste in my yard, but it was their first year of fruits. Hope it will improve with tree maturity and time. Both have seeds. Most citruses planted here in the north Ca are never as sweet as the ones in the south Ca unless you have a greenhouse or special environment for them. for those cultivars that tend to ripen in late summer to Fall usually taste very sweet here. But most citruses ripen around the winter time so not as good as those in the south.
Yes bfreeman! Having a 30-in-1 citrus tree, and with a super pollen donor at that, the temple tangor! I have a collection of mandarins on one tree, a collection of valencias on another tree, a collection of pigmented oranges on another tree, a collection of navels, a collection of lemons, a collection of small citrus fruit tree (my frankenQuat tree). I have citrus flowers all year round even in the colder Northern California. I have year round fruits also, and really have plenty of seeds. My valencias are seedless though, mostly because they are parthenocarpic. My collection of pummelos and grapefruits and their hybrids are in my 30-in-1 citrus tree, protected from the cold and frost by the colder mandarins grafted on top canopy.
Doesn't most of the commercial citrus in the stores nowadays come from the San Joaquin valley east of Fresno? I was under the impression that a lot of the SoCal orange groves have been squeezed out by development and that central CA was now the hotbed of citrus production...
For what it's worth, I've noticed no perceptible difference at all in sweetness between our local citruses (Walnut Creek area) vs. store brands. The biggest difference is that we do tend to have thick rinds around here, but I'd say the oranges picked right off the tree and allowed to ripen as long as possible in the home garden are actually somewhat sweeter and much, much juicier than the bland stuff in the stores. For me, the quality is much better when homegrown than bought, but again, the rinds are thicker in NorCal.
Kerrican, what specific cultivars are you talking about? I would love to test them by waiting as long on the tree to really taste out if they are that sweet as you claim. I have gone to my friends houses in some parts of SoCal where they have hot breezes every afternoon till 10:00 pm, their ordinary valencias tasted "sweeter" than honey at the time I tasted them. Nothing from Florida nor Texas compared with their citruses, except for the lemons.
Kerrican, now there are two of us saying the same pattern. Here's what Al said in another thread:
"* Posted by: calistoga USDA 9 Ca 15 (My Page) on Fri, Feb 24, 06 at 9:21
My folks experimented with citrus here. None of the oranges were sweet. The grapefruit, Marsh white, is not sweet enough to eat. The lemons are OK. Owari satsumas are good and also take the frost. The freeze of Dec. 1990 took the oranges to the ground about half the grapefruit and all the lemons. The Satsuma is OK. We replanted the lemons, dug out the orange roots, also the avocado. The grapefruit remains but will be removed as it just takes up space and drops sour fruit on the ground. Good luck with your planting. Al"
I am experimenting with more than 50 cultivars of citruses and so far, none of them were really as sweet as those from So Cal, some of them like my Satsumas can be as sweet as those from CostCo, but you know the flavor of beautiful looking fruits from CostCo. None of my citruses can match the quality of those bought from Farmer's market (they source their citruses from central and south Ca). Most of my citruses are still young, but those that are nearing maturity (taste improves a lot with citruses), can match the taste from the stores. I also have a lot of promising citrus cultivars that you will never find from the market nor buy these from the nurseries and already on their first year of fruits are better than the commonly available cultivars from the market. These cultivars are available mostly as budwoods from UC Riverside where I got majority of my citruses and have grafted them.
I may already have the specific cultivar of citrus that you have, perhaps you have a sport mutation that is sweet for Northern California. I can do a systematic comparison if you can just tell me the exact cultivar and see if I can achieve the results you got. It is worth trying for me.
Another specific reason could be that your citrus tree may be planted in a microclimate that receives reradiated heat (wall, street pavement, fence, patio) during the night, or on the relatively higher elevation where the cool denser air drains away from it, leaving it warmer during cool nights.
I planted a "Pixie" last year and have gotten quite a bit of fruit especially for its second year. I really like the taste of the fruit - sweet, not bland at all. In fact, this is the best tangerine I've tasted. I have many other citrus that are pollenating it yet I haven't found one seed. The fruit is also very easy to peel once you get it started. And the skin doesn't peel away when you take it off the tree like many other tangerines. I'm really happy with this tangerine and recommend it highly.
I want to thank all of you for the information. I have several choices now. The satsuma was a first choice because I know it can take some frost. The Pixie and gold nugget sound good too. I will have to see what I can find in the nursery. So many times I can't find varieties that I am looking for. I have found a dwarf and a standard Satsuma but it doesn't say Owari on the tag. Does this mean that it maybe a different variety? Is there a good nursery that sells alot of different varieties in So.CA.? I have never seen a Kishu mandarine anywhere. Joereal, where have you found so many different varieties?
Thanks again!
Marti, we bought budwoods as a group order by a bunch of people here in N.Ca. They are offered by UCR through their budwood program by CCPP. You can google for "CCPP budwood" and it will lead you there. Most of my varieties were from UCR and have grafted them to my existing trees. Sometimes, I don't trust the cultivar labels from the stores, so I go to the certified places. Each budwood costs $0.75 if you have satisfied minimum order. The parent plants are in the foundation block at Lindcove. You should be closer there to the facilities.
Currently they have suspended the program after they found a couple of trees with tristeza virus. It goes to show they are really doing their job and will only distribute trees that are disease free. they hope to resume budwood cuttings in June.
Angelique, I bought it at my favorite nursery Plant Depot in San Juan Capistrano. They have a huge selection of all kinds of citrus trees both regular and dwarf, and semi-dwarf. I bought it about a year ago, it was about 2 1/2 ft high and it gave me only a couple of tangerines, but they were very sweet and tasty. I can't wait for this years crop. Hope that helps.
The CCPP web site has excellent information on citrus varities. For Southern California costal areas, Pixie, Gold Nugget, and Satsuma are good choices. Pixie seems to be the number one choice of more people, but everyone has their own preference.

You chaps are probably well ahead of my tree,tree may be a slight exagerating, as it stands 4 feet tall in its stocking feet. However, since its been grown from a segment by my kids, it has become part of the family.
It has healthy leaves on a long tall stem which is now starting to branch into 5-6 shoots a foot from the top. It also has another shoot at ground level which looks like the top 18 inches of the main "tree".
Its holiday outside has just come to a close, as an English garden in october, even aided by global warming, is not the place for a tropical fruit tree to loiter.
Even the smallest constructive tip would be gratefully received.
I planted a dwarf Satsuma mandarin three years ago. The first year or two I found the fruit disappointing, but I noticed that the flavor is much improved this year. It is not as good as the wonderful unknown tree we had before, but it is well worth eating.
The tree before had to be removed because it was in the path of a retaining wall that was falling down around it. That mandarin had some seeds, but was both intensely sweet and richly flavorful. The tree would have been planted somewhere between 35 and 60 years ago. I wish I knew what it was. I would replace it with the same variety.
While I do fertilize, I grow all my citrus without supplemental water once established. That is how the trees I found on the property were grown, so I know they can do well and bear good fruit under these circumstances. Possibly they would bear more fruit with watering -- there must be a reason commercial growers go to the expense and trouble -- but we can't eat all we grow as it is now.
Fruity Meg, perhaps you can try contacting Stan McKenzie of http://mckenzie-farms.com/ Tell him that Joe Real referred you and see if he can point you to the right supplier. They might carry some LA satsuma in their nurseries.
In my yard, from this season's crop, Miho Wase turned out a lot better Satsuma than Owari but it did it a little bit overboard, definitely bigger, sweeter, completely seedless, a month earlier harvest, but somehow lacking some acidity that I am familiar with the Owari. My kids love the Miho Wase. Overall, it is still a lot better than Owari and as cold hardy.
Santa Barbara:
I have both a Satsuma and a Clementine.
The Clementine has been producing wonderful fruit for five years or so. The Satsuma is newer, this is it's first year for really tasty fruit. Last year and the year before it produce a handful of disappointing fruit, not very tasty. This year it obviously had a change of heart, because there were lots and they were lovely.
I have been looking at Satsumas and other citrus to grow in a container in my area of Oregon's Willamette Valley - we are on the "warm side" and I can offer protection and even greenhouse for at least a few plants, but am hoping for hardy to high teens. But I want fruit no one else does - as a diabetic, oranges are typically too sweet for me to eat - I make marmalade and juice from sour oranges - I love Sevilles but they are not cold hardy. It's not easy to find out which mandarins, etc., orange-tasting fruit are highly flavored but at least mildly tart. Flavorful is important - insipid won't do. Tart, sweet-tart, tangy and flavorful is what I am looking for. I use xylitol for a sweetener and it makes fantastic juice and marmalade.
On another line, I am interested in budding different varieties onto a rootstock. I have seeds for Flying Dragon - should I start one and bud onto that? Does the rootstock affect the cold-hardiness? How does that work? I have not done bud grafting before (tho am tempted to do a little with my micro pinot noir vineyard). Joe Real, maybe you can give me a pointer on this. Your multi-plants sound awesome.
Thanks - love to read the citrus talk!
There is a great set of citrus tree recommendations on the UC Riverside website, called "If I could only plant a few". (See link below.) The author gives his top recommendations for each type of citrus tree. For tangerines/mandarins, he recommends Gold Nugget (which is seedless) if you want a late-spring to mid-summer harvest, and Seedless Kishu if you want a late winter harvest. There is detailed information about each variety on the UCR website.
I chose the Gold Nugget because I already get plenty of citrus in winter/spring from my navel orange tree, and because I figure a spring/summer ripening schedule will yield sweeter fruit in northern California where the winters are less than ideal for citrus fruit ripening.
Here is a link that might be useful: UC Riverside: If I could only plant one of each citrus tree
I have some Satsuma tangerine trees. They have a black something on all the leaves. It seem to be some sort of fungus, or mold. It's spreading from tree to tree.
How can I get rid of this? Its on the fruit also. They are turning colors but seem to be roting on the tree.
Several pests can cause these symptoms. The most common are scale and aphids. These can be controlled with Neem or Ultrafine Horticultural oil sprays once a week for three weeks. It would help if your user name gave some indication of your location or zone in which you garden. Al
Most satsumas are self-fruitful. Is your's an Owari?
Here's a .pdf file on Q&A of citrus management by Mauk and Shea that I have found very useful. Citrus do much better if you have an idea of how and when to fertilize, water and deal with pests.
Here is a link that might be useful: Citrus Q&A
I just bought a satsuma mandarin owari, when i got home tried one of the mandarins and it was dry inside a no flavor at all,the person at the nursery said that it is almost end of the season and advise that maybe the fruit that was in the tree was not the best. should I planted and believe that or take it back? please help!

As much as I hate to say this, because I wasn't a fan of the old elo system. It was better than this new rank tier division ****.
I definitely prefer old system over this new one. Please bring it back or adjust the new one. The new system just makes climbing so much harder.
With the old system, you know you win 11-14 elo per game, that's approx 9 games to reach a new tier.
With the new one, you basically have to beat 20 people or more in your grouping, just to have a chance to climb to a new tier. Once you are up for promotion you have to play the best of 5 matches.
Basically approx 30 games. You are working 3x harder just to climb. Ridiculous.
Root and Shaw
New system might be better at preventing those 15-1 25 minute stomps though. give it a chance first QQ
Junior Member
Well...I think I like the new system a lot more than the old one... and then reason behind is that sometimes the "good players' (people that work hard to reach higher elo) elo gets messed up by noobs...I personally had my elo dropped from 1600 - 1400 due to the trolls (leavers, feeders). The new system keeps you in where you should be at with your skills. However, I'd also like to see some changes...for example.. Players' elo's. Its always nice to see those epic numbers when your elo is high :3. Also...other ranks...e.x. If I'm in Gold rank right now...I wont be able to view people that are in silver, bronze, platinum, and diamond.
The new system is great so far!
hi im Einstein
Here is an video with the new ranked system explained. Its not official tought.
Cause Im Sona
better nerf irelia
High elo players had no issues climbing before. Taking an extra day to get to 2k is not an issue. For those of us that are not going to experience 90% winrate the new system is much more interactive and less stagnant. If we have a hot streak we actually have a chance to gain something from it instead of the number just dropping again. If someone gets above where they should be - the system will kick them out. However, it lets you actually track yourself against others and it makes the system less "dynamic" in the sense that you aren't worried about your number compared to thousands of others changing every game.

No changes for older drivers despite death
Woman parking car runs over husband
The death of a North Kildonan senior after his wife collided with him while parking their vehicle will not change how the province's vehicle insurer -- or the provincial government -- treats older drivers.
Both Manitoba Public Insurance and the provincial government say they will not be reviewing whether older drivers need tougher licensing requirements.
Winnipeg police Const. Eric Hofley said Friday an 84-year-old woman was parking her car behind her house in the 400 block of Oakview Avenue on Thursday at about 2:45 p.m., when she struck her 86-year-old husband.
Hofley said the man was rushed to hospital in critical condition, but died of his injuries.
"There are no charges pending or being considered," he said.
"It's a tragic accident. What more can be said? It doesn't happen too often. I don't know if age played a part in it."
Police will not be releasing the name of the man.
On Friday, there was no yellow police tape in the back alley, but a pool of dried blood was still visible in the middle of the lane.
A member of the couple's family at the Oakview Avenue bungalow declined to comment.
In recent years, there have been calls across the country for more restrictions to be implemented when a senior kills somebody while driving a vehicle.
Last year, the Canadian Medical Association Journal published an editorial calling for a graduated licensing system for seniors, similar to what rookie drivers have to go through to get their licences.
But a provincial government spokeswoman said it's not looking at reviewing any changes to the legislation covering Manitoba drivers.
"The provincial government believes that licensing must be based on an individual's capacity to operate a motor vehicle, not their age," the spokeswoman said.
"There are already rules in place that can result in someone being excluded from driving or having to be re-examined before being allowed to drive."
As well, the spokeswoman said, while doctors and optometrists are supposed to report any driver who has a medical condition that could affect the ability to drive a vehicle, it is not intended just for drivers with age-related health concerns. Police officers or family members can also report drivers.
Brian Smiley, a spokesman for MPI, said the latest statistics compiled in 2011 show drivers 65 and older are in the age group that has the fewest collisions.
The statistics show drivers 65 and older are in only 10 per cent of collisions and 16 per cent of all fatal collisions. A total of 4,380 drivers 65 and older were in collisions in 2011.
But Smiley noted the largest proportion of drivers in collisions are aged 16 to 24, with them being in 22 per cent of collisions and 24 per cent of all fatal collisions. There were 10,109 drivers in this age group in collisions in 2011.
Smiley said when it comes to how senior drivers are handled by MPI, "Manitoba is consistent with other provinces. "Obviously, whether a senior or a novice, they are monitored if they get into traffic collisions," he said.
But Smiley said a driver might get restrictions instead of losing their licence, including not being able to drive at night, having to always wear glasses, or restricting how far they can drive from their residence.

I am interested in finding out the species of this plant so that I may begin to give it the loving care it needs.
Any help is appreciated!

Four Seasons of Gardening Conversations
Outdoor chores to do now03/30/15
(Mar 30, 2015) It seems like it has been forever since an outdoor chore other than shoveling snow or chopping ice off the roof was on the list. But once the snow melts, you can get out your pruning shears, your rake, and your wheelbarrow....
Re-potting 101: small plant, small pot
(Mar 23, 2015) Technically, yes, it's spring. But so far the only pussy willows in Canton are at the local supermarket. And they're not "local." So we're staying indoors for gardening today.Horticulturist Amy Ivy says it's important to match the size...
Three things to know for starting seeds
(Mar 16, 2015) Timing. Light. Temperature. It is a three-legged stool for growing successful seedling "starts" for the garden at home. Cooperative Extension horticulturist Amy Ivy explains the importance of knowing when to starts seeds at home, and...
Do a favor for houseplants
(Mar 9, 2015) If you are looking for a sign of spring, look to your houseplants. Chances are they are adding new growth in response to the angle of the sun and the length of the days. After all, the spring equinox is coming right up on the 20th of...
Making more of houseplants
(Mar 2, 2015) Literally - make more plants. Spring is on the way. The chickadees are singing their spring song, the sap is just beginning to run, and inside, houseplants are waking up to the changing angle of the sun.If you brought geraniums in at the...
What to think about before ordering berries for the garden
(Feb 23, 2015) Gardeners! You, too, can have fresh berries from your own patch. Top picks for North Country gardens are strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, according to Cooperative Extension horticulturist Amy Ivy.She says strawberries are a...
Slips, sets and seedlings - more than just seeds in the garden catalog
(Feb 16, 2015) Go out to the garden today...in your imagination. It's warm there, moist and green. Walking in, you can smell the tomato plants and a confusion of herbs. There's a slight breeze keeping the mosquitoes away. Cooperative Extension...
Time to order your tree and shrub seedlings
(Feb 9, 2015) Although the weather outside is pretty frightful, now is a good time to think about your spring tree and shrub planting plans. The Soil and Water Conservation districts around the region are having their annual tree and shrub seedling...
Wind chill at -30? Cozy up with a seed catalog
(Feb 2, 2015) Getting outdoors in winter is a prime way to battle cabin fever. But it's February, so when the thermometer says zero and the blowing snow is horizontal, diving deep into the seed catalog could be a better alternative. Spend an hour...
Getting the best from the Internet gardening traffic
(Jan 26, 2015) Wind chill in the minus 20s probably means more time spent indoors for the next few days and more time surfing the web. Cooperative Extension's Amy Ivy has advice for gardeners who spend their on-line time seeking like-minded Internet...

(Dec 1, 2014) More and more farmer's markets are extending their seasons into the winter. There's plenty on offer, and like the peas of early summer and the tomatoes of August, there are seasonal highlights.Cooperative Extension horticulturist Amy Ivy...
A little moisture now is good for next year's garden
(Nov 24, 2014) A dry fall is not a good thing for gardens. If nature does not provide, soaking down new plantings this time of year can reduce winter drying. But too much moisture will displace air from the soil and lead to a much harder freeze, which...
Embrace the snow!
(Nov 17, 2014) There is no denying the first heavy, wet snow of the season can be a bit of a downer. It is hard on commuters who have gotten used to an easy morning drive. It highlights all the lawn furniture and planters left out a little too long,...
How to keep shrubs and young trees safe over the winter
(Nov 10, 2014) Now that you have (hopefully) planted your garlic, planted your bulbs, dealt with the leaves and put the vegetable garden to bed, what's left?Horticulturist Amy Ivycalling in from the road in balmy Texas this weeksays to give a little...
Something to NOT do during fall yardwork
(Nov 3, 2014) If you've got a yard and/or garden, there's probably plenty on your to-do list. Deal with the leaves, maybe combining that with a last mowing for the lawn. Dead-head all the old flowers. Pull down the morning glory vine. Etc. One thing...
The way to great garlic
(Oct 20, 2014) Growing your own garlic is one of the easiest, most gratifying of all the vegetable gardening anyone is likely to do. Easy, because you essentially stick cloves of garlic in the ground, like planting crocuses. Gratifying because, like...
There's beauty in the details of autumn
(Oct 13, 2014) The big, splashy displays of fall color can fade and disappear with dismaying speed. A good wind storm or a heavy rain, and - poof - goodbye maple leaves! Or a few days go by and all of a sudden there's an awful lot of brown out there....

Category:Articles with peacock terms
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|This is a maintenance category. It is used for maintenance of the Wikipedia project and is not part of the encyclopedia. It contains pages that are not articles, or it groups articles by status rather than content. Do not include this category in content categories.
This is a hidden category. It is not shown on its member pages, unless the corresponding user preference 'Show hidden categories' is set.
|Administrators: Please do not delete this category even if it is empty!
This category may be empty occasionally or even most of the time.
Please add articles to this category by using
{{Peacock}} or
{{Peacock term}}.
In Wikipedia, a peacock term is language that shows off the importance of a subject without giving any real information.
For example, compare:
- William Peckenridge, 1st Duke of Omnium (1602? - May 8, 1671) is considered, by some people, to be the most important man ever to carry that title.
- William Peckenridge, 1st Duke of Omnium (1602? - May 8, 1671) was personal counselor to King Charles I, royalist general in the English Civil War, a chemist, poet, and the director of the secret society known as The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. He expanded his family's possessions to include the proprietorship of the Province of New Hampshire and the hereditary Lord High Bailiffship of Guernsey and Sark.
The first example simply tells the reader that the Duke of Omnium was important. The second example shows the reader how he was important.
In Wikipedia, show; don't tell.

in the time of apples
in a town by the lake
I took a walk in the woods
and never came back.
there were statues . . .
and maybe I turned
to stone out of boredom,
clueless about how
to get home.
.(rough draft).
let your shadow do the walking
little horse race
let your shadow do the talking
mr. not-much-to-say
let your shadow take the hit
everything goes right through him
he don't care
he so very flexible
on rocks, on water
stretched out at sunset
and sunrise,
he always changing every which way
depending where the light is coming from…
or how many lights are on…
or, like a flash.
and when you play with him
and dance with him
and pose for pictures with him,
he don't mind all that.
he is changeable.
he don't pretend he's only one person.
he don't pretend to have so much substance.
he knows he can't hold onto anything.
he knows he'll disappear when the lights go out.
.(rough draft).
Hardware Henry wrenched his neck looking sideways at Sally at the Diner on his lunchbreak.
He was the strong, silent type, but his eyes were like guided missles.
Sally shook her head, "The big lunk," she thought, "What did he think? What did he think he wanted?"
They were both dented and broken and damaged as two Trailways Buses that had crashed into an AmTrak Train going opposite directions across the railroad tracks, and they landed here in Palookaville with Doctor's bills and Goblin-histories, and whatever else was following them around like dust bunnies under the dresser. And they were both staying at the rent-by-the-week Hotel/Motel on Grant Street where it dead ends at the City Park.
Henry was about 15 years older than Sally, but at some point who's counting? The older he got the more he felt like it was every one's souls that were different ages, or the same ages, and as far as their bodies went, it didn't matter much….. unless you were into mountain climbing, or hang gliding, or whatever.
escape the alabaster plaster
the alligator of despair
clock ticking, talking
rythmic cytoplasm
oh, where are we again . again . again .
always the same no different
you'd think it would get old
it never did
something new, unimaginable, like
another planet opposite ours also
called the earth.
all so
all so
what do I think has to be different or finished or accomplised or arrived at before I let myself relax
and enjoy my life and being alive and all its many blessings?
What a lovely view!
Did the beach come with the apartment or did you have it installed?
I was thinking about music the other day and whether or not the palm trees were singing to me… then,
I realized, or course not, they were just singing…. dropping coconuts on my noggin while I was joggin
on my tobaggan… oh mercy, stop me! I was supposed to meet Clara around here somewhere and bum a cigarette.
singing red flower… oh great
like the alligator ate it so flexible in his luggage mentality
he takes it all with him (every thought)
everywhere he goes.
singing and smoking cigars.
That's just his nature nobody
really taught him anything
red as a flower red as the blood flower glowing under the summer moon
it was another time
another place
we were calm
and there were waves.
we were fond of retiring for the evening under the listless palms and extreme hair-do's
being distracted for a moment
by the wing-tip shoes hiding under the surreality of another fold-out couch.
Exercise: Poetry Walk: Write something down at the end of every block, at every corner,
connected to something seen or sensed in the moment.
…. …. ….
objects made of atoms
and then spirit and thought and emotion
somewhat facilitated by atoms
then transcending them
into the invisible.
i don't go out looking.
you never know which insignificant event will change your life completely.
or which insignificant event would have changed your life completely if you hadn't decided
to stay home instead.
…. …. ….
emotions waking up tumbling out of bed
playing listlessly then rambunctously with all my reality paradigms.
turning dials
way past the proper settings
before long I may be in a fog.
Broke-down clown downtown lounge
cocktail bar of neon cigar whiskey girls
like the old days, but not quite, just a little––
or if you knocked all the tvs off the wall
then maybe.
Where is the tongue-fit nomenclature rewind
of fanatic personal hygene and physical
maintainence among the loose leaf
librarians stumbling down the stairways
or arithmatic and architecture into the
spring air full of song birds and
flower pollen making them sneeze
their glasses off and lose their hats they
can't even remember where.
. . . .
I'm a walrus in the sunrise
floundering by the sea
fish flop up on the rocks
and taunt me.
I suppose they are playing
but they are slippery,
not really so easy to catch,
not at all.
waves are so delicate and frantic
so whispy and whispery and
just out there––fully revealed,
moody as they want to be,
or as the weather allows.
Crow sat in the tree pondering the
that seemed so ubiquitous but in truth
was very rare.
Road Hawk was waiting
waiting to wheel out
on another adventure
FrankenWhale RobotWhale CyberWhale
cyber clown surfing fell under the waves the whale and cyber clown
recorded then cloned
and added wings for whale to fly or swim
and increased size in geometric progression until whale became as big as
the planet Jupiter
causing gravitational disturbances and swallowing the whole earth.
a whale made of independently
robotic water molecules.
Superflous Man
scoffs at buildings with a single thought.
has great disdain for speeding bullets.
has imaginary x-ray vision that sees into other people's thoughts
in highly distorted and completely inaccurate ways.
song of thorns throaty songs
release form the feet to the street the downbeat the clownseat
I'm mr. wordy on re-wind
ran out of language. . . gonna try a new line
maybe I won't ever shine just keep rolling keep rolling all the time.
dreaming dreaming dreaming
little things come and go.
people come and go.
where is the place of recent discovery.
sleepy sleepy sleepy.
what is there to say anymore.
growing up– life just never seemed to be about me. so I thought I could drift on the couch in front of the tv
unnoticed, and un-noticing — the bargain I made for not knowing how to get attention or connect.

Panthers again.
Deep dark panthers.
Shocking panthers.
Sleek graceful panthers.
Panthers of longing for tenderness
and affection.
Sugar in the blood, a celebration.
Fire in the brain, a complication.
Afternoon so sleepy, and maybe a nap.
Who is running the world
in my absence?
Swirling blurprint of destitution.
Somnambulism among the clerics and hospitals.
Excuses in bulk and random quantities.
Gone fishing, for instance––or––
I didn't know.
Rain, they say.
I'm planning my fedora.
I'm making an appointment
with my trench coat.
And I'll wear my grubby boots.
Rain, so rare
in the Texas state.
Like a gift of tears,
like a breath of oxygen.
I'll count the raindrops
as they hit the roof
and name them
one by one,,,
say hello and good-bye.
I'll give each one an message
to give to the ocean,
if they make it that far. . .
it will keep me quite busy,
thousands of raindrops
each with their mouth open
laughing as they fall.
The birds will drink
some of them, and the gutters
will drink some,,,
but the lucky ones
will go into the trees,
far from the roads.
Or, right into the river,
right into the river
when they fall.
rambunctuous ruffians and scallywags wallowed in the pub fog of cigar and cigarette and beer-fume until early hours when the sun coughed awake and sent them withering home.

Osage man builds career from passion for art
Boyd Sharp's love of art is a lifelong passion.
The 74-year-old Osage artist can remember his father taking him and his siblings to art museums in Chicago during the 1940s — and just leaving him in the art gallery until the rest of them were finished looking at the other exhibits.
"We didn't have TV in those days — that (visiting museums) was our only entertainment, and it was free," he explained.

Kumme back to Amish country, where sign language tutor Jolene Yoder finds herself attracted to her newest student—a brokenhearted Lonnie Hershberger. Love-shy Lonnie sees no future in becoming emotionally tied to Jolene. For how could he hope to protect her, if he can't even hear? Besides, Jake Beechy seems to be taking up most of her free time. Meanwhile, Ella Miller is worried Jake will end up breaking her cousin Jolene's heart. Little does Ella know that Jake is interested in her—not Jolene. What drastic measures will God use to bring these couples together?

She is to be the teacher to two deaf Amish children that are new to the community, and though she has her misgivings, she is determined to be a good teacher as she once was.
Lonnie Hershberger is deafened by an accidental explosion, and is having a hard time adjusting to a world of silence. Jolene offers to help him learn how to communicate in his new world, but Lonnie is reluctant to go steady, especially since she seems sweet on Jake Beechy. But Jake Beechy is fighting his attraction to her cousin Ella, despite her continual rejection. Will these young people find God's will - and each other?
I loved this charming series, but one thing I noticed in this book was how accident prone the characters were. It seems as if the author used convenient "accidents" to force characters to action, and there was just so much of this going on in the book. I really had to wonder whether some of the end results and actions were because everyone kept getting into one predicament or another.
Despite my qualms on the excessive accidents, this book gave a very insightful view on life with no sound. Due to previous introduction, the characters kept my interest the whole book through. It was a decent sequel to this wonderful series, and made me realize a very important truth; Amish people are just like us. They aren't perfect, they have their problems, just as we do, and they don't have an easy life. But they keep the faith, simple lifestyle, and sound moral values as best they are able to glorify their Lord Jesus Christ.

Employees, clients and supporters of the Opportunity Center in Prairie du Chien can collectively breathe a sigh of relief. Operations will continue as usual thanks to recent federal and state declarations that have allowed services in center settings to carry on for people with disabilities.
"The federal government—Center for Medicaid Services (CMS)—and the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) have heard our voices loud and clear. And our voices made a difference," wrote Pam Ritchie, executive director of the Opportunity Center, in a Dec. 23 memo to those directly affected by the decision. "I want to thank this community for standing up for people with disabilities. It is humbling to see the number of people who have supported us. I don't know that we can provide any further evidence that the programs and services we deliver here are making a positive impact."

Ferryville continues to
make strides as a birding destination
By Ted Pennekamp
The village of Ferryville continues to work hard to expand birding activities and to remain a birding destination for visitors from throughout the region.
Prairie du Chien's Kent Stark and his fellow ruck marchers are shown at an event earlier this month. Stark, a U.S. Navy veteran, is organizing the Wisconsin Winter Ruck March and Polar Plunge on Saturday, Jan. 10, at 10 a.m., in Millville, to raise awareness and funds for treating veterans who suffer from posttraumatic stress disorder. (Submitted photo)
Though Kent Stark himself hasn't experienced posttraumatic stress disorder, he participates in ruck marches all over the tri-states in support of his fellow veterans suffering from PTSD.
Every day, 22 veterans and one active duty soldier suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) take their own lives. Burdened with the stigma associated with mental health issues and the military "shame" surrounding PTS (posttraumatic stress), they instead turn to suicide as their only option to relieve suffering.
To raise awareness and funds for veterans with PTSD, the first ever Wisconsin Winter Ruck March and Polar Plunge will take place Saturday, Jan. 10, at 10 a.m., in Millville. Participants will ruck march five miles through the hills and bluffs of the Millville Bridle Trail on County C in Grant County and then take a polar plunge into the river. It is hoped that this will become an annual event.
Energy-saving LEDs were installed in October on 85 streetlights in Prairie du Chien's historic downtown district. They have a more natural glow to them, as compared to the yellow glow of the former metal halide fixtures.
The city of Prairie du Chien has been recouping the cost of the recent conversion to LED lights in the downtown district so rapidly that Alliant Energy has taken notice and sent a letter questioning the recorded reduction in electricity.
"The letter asked us to notify them of the reason for the change in usage," stated Terry Meyer, co-manager of public works. "Our normal usage for two meters was about 6,400 killowatt hours (kwh) per month, but November's usage (thanks to the LEDs) was under 2,000 total, between the two meters."
Indeed, Alliant was correct. The city made the change in October, converting 85 street lights from 150-watt metal halide fixtures to LEDs, on Blackhawk Avenue from Marquette Road to Main Street, and on Main Street from Blackhawk to Iowa Street. Meyer applied for and received a $10,000 clean energy grant from the Wisconsin State Energy Office this fall. That was used toward the expenses of the project, leaving the total out-of-pocket cost for the city at $19,155 out of $29,155. The funds have been secured by 2014-2016 Capital Improvement Plan borrowing.
"The expected payback from energy savings is three years but I think it might be even sooner than that," Meyer explained.
According to Meyer, the changeover has the potential to save the city about 54,728 kilowatt hours per year, equalling an annual savings of about $7,052. The LEDs have a five-year warranty and a life expectancy of 50,000 hours of on-time use, Meyer added. Estimates are that each light would be on approximately 4,300 hours per year. Considering those numbers, the lights should last about 11 and a half years. In total, the overall cost savings during that time period could be around $78,000. The city has been working with E3 Energy Coalition, of Viroqua, on energy-saving projects like this one. (In 2013, the wastewater facility lighting was upgraded with grant funding.)
The next LED conversion project on the city's list is to install them on St. Feriole Island and the Highway 18 Bypass.

Clay target team newest addition to outdoor ed in PdC
Come April, the Prairie du Chien School District will join the Wisconsin State High School Clay Target League. Bluff View science teacher Kirby Kohler said that the new Prairie du Chien Clay Target Team is expected to have about 25-30 members from sixth through 12th grade. Most team members will be high school students, said Kohler, who will be the coach.
Christmas is a very busy time of year for Santa Claus and everyone else at the North Pole. Santa graciously took time out of his hectic schedule, bright and early Monday morning, Dec. 22, to call the Courier Press Associate Editor Correne Martin from his mobile phone and answer a few questions she had for him. As Christmas nears, Santa has a lot on his mind and he wanted to share some of his thoughts with all the little boys and girls who are very anxious and full of holiday spirit. A bit of the chat with Santa follows.
The city of Prairie du Chien has a number of new, permanent stop signs in place following common council review and action Tuesday night. During the Marquette Road construction project this summer, signs were installed temporarily on several main streets to aid in traffic safety. Since the project's completion, the public works committee and council needed to decide whether they should remain indefinitely.
The council approved permanent stop signs at the following intersections: South Dousman and East Iowa, South Dousman and East Crawford, West Blackhawk and Main, and West Washington and North Main. The council also chose to remove the temporary signs at North Ohio and Haydn.
On the west side of the Highway 18 Bypass in Prairie du Chien, a huge, festive display of Christmas lights by Jerry Krachey is sure to brighten your spirits. Among the spectacle are Santas, snowmen, trees of various colors, penguins, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, a train and much more. (Photo by Correne Martin)

National Honey Board Announces New Chief Executive Officer
Firestone, Colo., January 15, 2015 – The National Honey Board (NHB), an industry-funded agriculture promotion group, announced that the Board has unanimously selected Margaret Lombard as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) effective December 29, 2014. Lombard succeeds the NHB's past CEO Bruce Boynton who announced his desire to retire in early 2014 after almost 26 years of service to the honey industry.
"After a thorough selection process, the Board is delighted to announce Margaret will lead the NHB as we navigate through the evolving and expanding landscape of the honey industry," said Brent Barkman, chairman of the National Honey Board. "Margaret has extensive experience in food marketing and a comprehensive understanding of the food industry. I have no doubt that she is the right person to take the helm at the NHB."
In her nearly 25 years in the food industry, Margaret has held a variety of leadership positions, including Vice President of Marketing for Raley's Supermarkets and Vice President of Shopper Marketing for a national advertising agency. She has a proven track record for successfully driving innovation and growth. Her past clients include Mission Foods, Blue Diamond Almonds and Avocados from Mexico. Margaret holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Design from the University of California Davis, and a Master of Business Administration degree from California State University Sacramento. Her background in food and her commodity board experience make her ideally suited to lead the next phase of the NHB's growth and success.
"I am honored to have been chosen by the Board to lead the NHB into the next exciting era," said Margaret Lombard. "The NHB is doing some amazing work and is perfectly poised for growth as the trend towards natural ingredients continues to explode. I look forward to working with our Board and our staff in driving growth for the entire industry."
The National Honey Board is an industry-funded agriculture promotion group that works to educate consumers about the benefits and uses for honey and honey products through research, marketing and promotional programs.
Getting Up Close and Personal on Nosema ceranae in Honey Bees
As one of the possible causes of honey bee losses, the gut pathogen Nosema ceranae has proved controversial. It seems accountable for colony losses in Spain, yet elsewhere it seems not to cause obvious problems despite being widespread. Two papers published recently in the Journal of Apicultural Research help to shed some light on the problem, with close studies of this organism and its relationship with its host.
Nosema ceranae, a microsporidian fungus, is a relatively new pathogen of honey bees, having only been discovered in 1994 on the Asian honey bee Apis cerana. It was found on the western honey bee Apis mellifera in 2005. It seems to have spread rapidly around the world and apparently displaced the similar species Nosema apis. This second parasite is a minor chronic infection of the western honey bee, known for more than one hundred years. However, no-one is absolutely certain of the history of these two species because their spores are indistinguishable under an ordinary light microscope. So far, few laboratories throughout the world are able to perform the costly molecular techniques necessary to reliably determine between the two Nosema species.
In a new paper, Dr Aneta Ptaszyńska and colleagues from the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, Lublin, and the University of Life Sciences in Lublin, Poland have demonstrated that Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) provides a solution. Close examination of the cell walls of Nosema spores revealed that they differ between the two species, with Nosema ceranae having a characteristic sculpted cell wall. The authors also studied the damage caused by the parasite to the intestines of infected bees. They found that the midgut of affected bees is completely covered with Nosema. This spore-made layer may be the cause of bee malnutrition and higher mortality of foragers.
In the second paper, Dr Predrag Simeunovic and colleagues from the University of Belgrade, Serbia, carried out a three-year study on the laying capacity of queen bees as affected by age and infestation by Nosema ceranae. The results clearly demonstrated not only that as queen bees age so colony productivity declines, but that interactions with Nosema ceranae infestation also occur. Curiously, although queen bees decline in all other respects during their third year, their egg-laying capacity was found to increase. This may be an influence of Nosema infection which was greatest in the oldest queens. The authors suggest that the infected queens may significantly increase their rate of egg-laying to compensate for the losses of heavily infected workers due to Nosema.
IBRA Science Director Norman Carreck says: "These two new papers add to our knowledge of this problematic pathogen and how it adversely affects honey bees." (IBRA News Release)
The 2012 American Bee Research Conference was held February 7-8 at APHIS Headquarters in Greenbelt, MD in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Apiary Inspectors of America. The twenty-sixth American Bee Research Conference will be held in Hershey, PA in conjunction with the annual meeting of the American Honey Producers Association in January 2013.
