ouldn't it be nice if any time you needed a floral arrangement for your home you could simply go into the garden and pick what you needed? Well, you can! Having a cutting garden can be as simple as planting specimens in your foundation or landscape planting or as ambitious as a large backyard plot like a vegetable garden with flowers planted in neat rows. Sun is critical, experts agree. If you have a sunny spot and lots of time to devote to cultivating, 100 square feet of space would be ideal to carve out for a cutting garden, according to Al Krautter of Sprainbrook Nursery in Edgemont. "You want to prep your soil like you would any garden soil," Krautter said. Krautter is the author of a new book called "12 Steps to Natural Gardening," which gives the organic gardener tips from A to Z, including how to prepare the soil for flowers and other plants to flourish.

Virginia Maybank, past president of the Bedford Garden Club and co-founder of Branch Out, a tree-planting project initiated by the garden club, incorporates her cutting garden into her vegetable garden, which measures about 20 by 40 feet. "That's a good way to do it," she said. Since she digs up her garden after the first frost, Maybank's cutting garden is comprised of primarily annuals. She keeps her perennial garden separate. Maybank said there are some flowers Continued on the next page

a vase," she said. Maybank continued, "I plant my garden in early May so the annuals won't start blooming until six weeks later. Bulbs are nice in spring and azalea, cherry, forsythia and lilac are all fantastic for cutting." As the vegetables all need to be rotated in the soil every year, Maybank rearranges her flower planting, which she does in rows, just like the vegetables. "Every year I rethink what I want to plant," she said. "If I have a tall plant, I need something lower next to it. If it's something really tall like a sunflower, I put them as far back as I can. Otherwise they would shade the garden."

not necessarily grown in a cutting garden that are "fantastic for cutting," like bulbs — daffodils, tulips and such — that "just go into the natural landscape planting." Plants with "interesting foliage, not from annual plants, shrubs, trees, hostas, things with interesting leaves," can become "the backbone of any arrangement," she said. Before heading off to the nursery, "think about the colors in your house. If your house is all blues, and you like blues, plant blue flowers, plant something that looks great in your house." Also, go for height and a sturdy stem. "Buy annuals that are going to be tall and wonderful," she said. Because tender perennials, like the delicious-smelling purple-flowered heliotrope and verbena bonariensis, die in cold climates, they are used like annuals, and are perfect for floral arrangements, Maybank said. Sometimes the plants reseed themselves, she noted. Some of Maybank's recommendations for a cutting garden are cosmos, salvias, cleome, snapdragons, ageratum, blue horizon and larkspur. "The nice thing about annuals is they bloom all summer long," she said. "Perennials have a bloom time of about three weeks. Annuals bloom forever!" After the frost hits and there's nothing left in the patch, Maybank gets even more creative. "Branches of beautiful Japanese maples look gorgeous sitting in

Sheri Silver of Fiori Garden Design in Irvington advised making a list of all the flowers you want to have. Silver writes a blog called "donuts dresses and dirt" at sherisilver.com that shares "what I am most passionate about," including gardening. "A cutting garden is different than a foundation bed or perennial border," Silver said. "It's sort of an indulgence. It's not about what looks right or what makes sense, but about what you love." Although it's great to have a wish list, the plant has to be put in the right space to thrive, Silver cautioned.

t all started innocently enough. The brown tiles in our basement were old and ugly, many of them cracked or completely unglued. So I decided to remove them and put down some new self-adhesive tiles. A week later, men in HAZMAT suits were traipsing through the house, sealing off the entire basement area with biohazard tape and barrier paper. What had seemed to be an easy do-ityourself job turned into a major expense because I had inadvertently released asbestos into the room when I removed the first few tiles. Fortunately, I noticed the word "asbestos'" printed on the back of the third tile and I got out of there, pronto. When the men in the white suits arrived, they explained that removing the tiles would actually be more dangerous than "encapsulating" them with a special sealant, then putting wall-to-wall carpeting over the sealant. To this day, I still obsess about what I may have inhaled in those first few minutes. Then there was the simple kitchen wallpaper job. We assumed the walls were in pretty good shape, except for the unfortunate navy blue wallpaper we had inherited from the former owners. When the painter began removing the old paper, the wall practically disintegrated. "That paper was the only thing holding the wall together," the painter said with a big grin. The final bill was not funny. It turned out that not only had the wall been damaged by a slow leak in the roof that the room shared with the garage, but carpenter ants, who love leaky places, had turned all the wood studs and supporting beams into something resembling a rice cake. We ended up replacing two walls and half of the ceiling of the kitchen and the garage. Then there's my friend whose roof was damaged in last year's hurricane. They covered everything with a tarp to prevent further damage, and an emergency roofing crew soon arrived to make everything watertight. It was too late, though. Water had already seeped between the walls, and mold was growing in there. When painters arrived to do some work on the ceiling of the room whose roof had been damaged, they discovered evidence of mold, and insisted on taking a look-see inside the wall. Guess what? There was mold

growing all over the inside of the wall, and all over the inside of the exterior wall too. All the wallboard in the room had to be replaced, as well as the damaged part of the exterior wall. With home ownership comes the realization that small jobs have the tendency to become great, big jobs very quickly. And don't forget expensive. Lots of times the culprit is hidden damage that is discovered in the process of doing some seemingly routine maintenance, or when opening up a wall during a small renovation project. That's when you find out the ugly truth about the water damage, insect infestations, wood rot, mold, toxic chemicals and various building code violations that the inspector never noticed before you bought your house. But wait, you say. My house is new and does not have any of those problems. Surely I can do a few minor home improvement projects myself. How hard can it be?
How hard, indeed. It's those five words that make contractors love, love, love do-

it-yourselfers. "Half of my business is finishing work homeowners try to do themselves," said Bob Kahn, an architect and building contractor in White Plains. "The things that are important are preparation and experience," he noted, adding that many people take on renovations without being aware of all the details involved. "If you have a set of plans and a contactor bids on the plans, there shouldn't be any surprises." That being said, however, sometimes homeowners are still surprised when they hire an architect or a contractor and find out that the project is a lot more involved than they thought it would be. "You're best off in the hands of an architect because an architect doesn't have anything to lose if he gives his clients proper advice," said Scarsdale architect Carl Petrescu. He advises homeowners who are thinking about a renovation project to call an architect before hiring a designer or a contractor. "It's worth spending a few hundred dollars for a consultation." For example, an architect might tell you
April 20, 2012
that the floor in an old house might not be strong enough to take the weight of new, heavy flooring. "The more structural the problem is, the more complicated," he noted. For example, if you see the floor is angled and you put in a new, level floor, then you have to anticipate changing the doorframes and the moldings. Or, if you put on an addition, you might create drainage problems. "Designers tell you anything is possible, but they don't know what structural issues may be involved," Petrescu said. Other problems arise when homeowners set out to make minor household repairs. Bart Tyler, owner of Kelloggs & Lawrence Hardware Store in Katonah, sees many homeowners who visit the store for help with projects that take on a life of their own. "Probably the leading one would be plumbing," he said. He noted that homeowners often try to replace faucets, drains, or the mechanism inside the toilet… "and one thing leads to another. You get the faucet in place and then you find out the valve doesn't shut off, but in attempting to replace it you break a pipe inside the walls." Then there's the "simple" project of hanging a shelf or curtain rod. "These products often come prepackaged with wall fasteners," he said — but the fasteners in the package might be ones made for plaster walls, and your walls are sheetrock, or vice versa. "Over time, it will come off," he predicted. And when it does come off, it usually leaves a hole bigger than the one you started with, so you need to come up with a different kind of fastener to reattach what just fell off the wall. Painting is a favorite do-it-yourself project that Tyler said could often go wrong if the homeowner doesn't prepare the walls properly. Even planting a simple garden can turn into a major project. "You buy seed and start a little garden plot," said Tyler. "Then you see there are critters eating the garden, so you put up fence stakes. But then you realize there are burrowing creatures getting in underneath, so you have to sink wire mesh around it. But then you find that birds are attracted to it…" and so on and on, until you've Continued on page 6A

Flooring: it's what you walk on According to Donna Kanter, of Kanter's Carpet and Design Center in White Plains, "Flooring has become its own fashion statement, not just a way of covering the floor. What you put on the floor defines the overall look of a room." In general, she has noticed greater attention to natural materials like wool carpets and green products, such as carpet backs made out of recycled bottles. "Synthetic carpets have also come a long way," Kanter said. "They're very recyclable and easy to care for. Advanced stain protection is now incorporated directly into the carpet fibers before the carpet is even woven." 1) Prefinished hardwood flooring: Available in a variety of finishes, these can be installed in less than a day, without dust or mess. They offer immediate beauty and instant gratification. 2) Custom area rugs: Imaginative designs, patterns, sizes and colors are now available through made-to-order area rugs for bedrooms, living rooms or kitchens. Textured or patterned carpets, too, can be cut down to size and finished with a boarder in leather, fabric or suede. 3) Printed and patterned carpets: From bold to demure, geometric to floral, printed and patterned carpets are im-

mensely popular. Commanding attention in a room, they add instant impact and design. 4) Texture: Bare feet rejoice! Shag carpets and rugs are back in force. Modernized with a contemporary softness, they create warmth and luxury. Cut-and-loop carpets are another option for texture, adding an overall feeling of sophistication. 5) Laminate flooring: Available in tile, wood or stone designs, laminate flooring offers the look of natural beauty, but is softer on the feet. Easy to clean and maintain, this option is ideal for kitchens, mudrooms, entryways and other high traffic areas. — TRACI DUTTON LUDWIG

built a bunker to keep out all those walking, burrowing and flying creatures. Preventive measures
Sometimes little maintenance issues are ignored, ending up as big repair jobs later. Mark Goldman of American House Care in New Rochelle visits clients on a seasonal basis to take care of maintenance chores before they become problems. "Gutter cleaning is important because if you don't do it, it can affect the fascia boards, and the water can run down the house," he said. "We take care of little cracks in the masonry after the winter. You don't want to wait so long that the cracks become large and they start dislodging the stones. We'll do an annual flushing of an electric or gas water heater to prevent buildup of sediment. That can prolong the life of the water heater." Goldman also cleans out clients' clothes dryer vents. He noted that just brushing off the lint filter isn't enough: it's necessary to clean out the whole vent. "Most people ignore this, but it can cause inefficiency in the dryer, and eventually it can cause a fire." Ignoring subtle signs of problems can lead to big repair issues later. Insect damage can be hard to spot inside a wall, but if you spot carpenter ants (big ants with a thin waist, bent antennae and two sets
If you can
of wings of different sizes) or termites (a thick waist, straight antennae and both sets of wings the same size), don't wait to seek help. Signs of damage from carpenter ants would be piles of sawdust around the bottom of walls or decking. This indicates that the ants are burrowing into the wood and depositing the sawdust outside their tunnels. Termites may bore right through wallboard to get to the wood below; a telltale sign is little piles of plaster dust on the floor. Since these insects are attracted to wet wood, leaks (such as those caused by broken plumbing inside the house, or by overflowing gutters or ice dams that

send water between the walls) should be taken care of immediately. If you have had a roof leak, sending water through the ceiling, the section of ceiling will probably have to be removed to make sure the timbers are dry and free of insect infestation. If you just patch and paint where the water came through, you may not know you have a wood problem until it's too late. The same goes for mold: ignoring a persistent leak can cause serious mold problems that eventually can require replacing large areas of the walls. Dangerous substances
If you live in an older house, you may
April 20, 2012
be in for some surprises when you start to remodel. Lead paint was used for decades, and there may be many layers of it hiding under more recent paint finishes. If you think there may be lead paint under all those old layers, you should not sand those areas yourself. Asbestos was used in all kinds of construction projects until the '60s in products such as flooring, acoustical tiles, insulation, wrappings for pipes, etc. It was also used in soundproofing or decorative material sprayed on walls or ceilings, and in patching compounds through the '70s. Any of these items are safe to leave where they are, as long as they are intact. In fact, trying to remove them can cause worse problems, because when asbestos is disturbed (such as when a floor tile or an acoustical ceiling panel is broken), the dangerous little asbestos fibers, which can cause cancer, are released into the air. Drilling into walls containing asbestos can also have problems, and pulling asbestos insulation out of walls by yourself can be really hazardous. Asbestos and lead abatement professionals can come to your house and tell you whether your house contains these materials. They'll let you know your options: sealing, or encapsulating, the area, enclosing it with some sort of covering material, or removing the material entirely. If it must be removed, the abatement should only be done by a professional.

Fern-tastic! By MARy LEGRAND
h deer! How do Westchester homeowners create beautiful landscaping without attracting those roving bands of four-footed munchers that lay waste to tender shrubs and perennials on a nightly basis? One answer is to plant ferns, which white-tailed deer and other critters tend to avoid. Compared to other perennials, ferns are also relatively low maintenance, another added plus. Mark Gilliland of Garden Artistry in Irvington is a New York Botanical Garden certified landscape designer. A fan of ferns, he noted that "a large number of fern species can accept part shade to full shade environments, although most require rich humus soils and prefer not to have extended periods of dry soil." Thus, "they are appropriate for woodland edges, shade gardens, rain gardens and other specialized design uses," Gilliland continued. Best used in groupings, ferns can differ in size from delicate Japanese painted ferns, which are typically 18 inches high by 12 inches wide, to ostrich ferns, which come in at a whopping 5 feet in height by 3 feet in width.
"So planting smaller ones near the front of the border and larger ones as architectural accents in the mid- to rear-bed makes sense," Gilliland said. "I particularly like using painted fern under flowering trees as a ground cover accent mixed with sweet woodruff." Gilliland does caution that those thinking of planting ferns need to "check carefully about soil and water requirements, especially as they get into sunnier locations — damper, more continuous moisture will be needed. One particular fern for drier locations is autumn fern. In terms of water, ferns could do well in beds of mixed part-shade to shade perennials such as cimcifugia or snakeroot, astilbe, bleeding heart or monkshood." Basic care involves cutting ferns back to their crown in late winter or early spring before regrowth commences. "Although not evergreen, leaving ferns standing through winter can provide interesting visual textures against snow," Gilliland said. Daryl Beyers is senior landscape designer at Poundridge Nurseries in Pound Ridge. A graduate of the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, where he earned a degree in environmental design, Beyers concurs that landscaping with ferns is a good idea for Westchester property owners, particularly those who live in the
parts of the county with high deer populations. "Ferns are great plants to use for groundcover," Beyers said. "They're useful considering all the trees around here, because ferns do really well in the shade. Deep shade is one of the hardest parts to try to garden in; you're really limited in terms of the possibilities. You can't use hosta because the deer will eat them all." Ferns are also useful because there are so many varieties, colors and textures, according to Beyers. "They can range from the big ostrich ferns, which can get
to be 6 feet tall," he said. "Compare that to the maidenhair fern, which is so delicate, small and tiny, just the opposite of the ostrich fern." Beyers said "getting a lot of mileage out of foliage" is an important plus for those who consider planting ferns. "Flowers come and go, but foliage tends to be there all year-round, at least during the growing season and along the edges of those months. Ferns persist throughout the winter. They'll get a little ragged, but if you have a winter like we just did with no snow, they'll definitely hold up through December." Beyers said there are about two dozen kinds of ferns available at Poundridge Nurseries, where he's been for four years and writes a blog that appears on the nursery's website. "You can buy big ferns in 3- or 5-gallon pots down to a little 4-inch pot. Once they're established you're in good shape, but you do have to water them well the first season, depending on the sun exposure," he said. "With deep shade you should be in good shape even through the summer. If they do get some sun during the day, they might need extra water during the hottest, sunniest days in July, August and September." Amending soil with peat moss to help retain moisture is always helpful, Beyers said, adding that one of his favorite ways to use ferns is to mass them. "You could take over a big slope," he said. "The maintenance is practically zero. They go Continued on page 10A

Long live your lawn!
And how to bring it back to life By JACKIE LUPO
neighbor of mine had a lawn that was the envy of the block: thick, green and weed-free. This elderly gentleman could be seen each day removing a few errant weeds from the flowerbeds, but otherwise he apparently did nothing but pay a guy to mow every week. When we moved into the house two doors away, our lawn could hardly be called a lawn, since weeds and bare spots greatly outnumbered areas of what could reasonably be called "grass." After a few years in the hands of the landscaper who had worked for our neighbor for decades, our lawn was also lush, green and weed-
free, although I soon realized that mowing was only one of the many jobs that gardener did for the lawn throughout the season. I also realized that without constant attention, there is no natural scenario in which a lawn will remain a lawn. Left to its own devices, the typical suburban lawn will revert to its baser instincts, which most likely means an amalgam of a little grass and a lot of weeds (both native and invasive foreigners) and many areas victimized by insects and disease. Since no two ailing lawns are sick for exactly the same reason, I set out to discover why some lawns look great while others struggle on, season after season. Here's what I found.

It starts with the soil
"Everything that occurs in the lawn starts with the soil," said Jim Boes, owner of Innovative Irrigation in Larchmont. "My house was built in the 1920s and six or seven owners have been here. You don't know what kind of care people have taken before you. So a good thing is to start with a soil sample, because you want to know the pH level of the soil." Having forgotten my high school chemistry, that meant little to me. But it turns out that a lawn thrives only when the pH is neutral: about 6.5. When the pH is below 7.0, it is acidic; above 7.0, it is alkaline. Lots of things can affect the lawn's pH, including the leaching of minerals such as calcium, magnesium and potassium from the soil, or the use of certain fertilizers. When the pH is off, the lawn can't get proper nutrients for growth, and it becomes less able to withstand stressors such as heat, lack of water, or too much traffic over the grass. If the lawn is too acidic, you will probably need an application of lime to bring it up to a neutral pH. Don't expect instant results after the lime application, said Boes: "It takes two to three months
The RECORD-REVIEW | Page 9A
for the lime to cycle through the soil." Once you have your soil analyzed, you'll also be in a better position to choose other lawn care products that are made for the particular composition of your lawn. Note that what you use to treat your lawn may not be what you need for your shrubs and flowers. For example, naturally acidic soil is not all bad. Azaleas will thrive in acidic soil. Lilacs will suffer in it. How do you have your soil analyzed? The easiest way is by hiring a turf grass expert to take samples from several areas of the lawn in order to find out the pH and discover any other anomalies in the soil. You can also do this yourself. An excellent resource for this is the agricultural college at Cornell University. Send them $45 along with your soil sample (their website tells you how to take the sample) and they'll tell you the condition of your soil, what organic matter and minerals are present, the pH, and many other facts that affect the fertility of your lawn. Visit http://soilhealth.cals.cornell. edu/extension/test.htm for complete instructions.
and Bedford Hills, sends a lawn care expert to walk the property, diagnose the soil conditions, spot the many factors that can be causing lawn problems, and recommend treatments for those problems. Many homeowners assume that all lawn care companies will want to put lots of chemicals on the lawn. But many lawn care specialists, such as SavaLawn, offer customers a choice among organic, nonorganic, and combination programs. If you live near water or if you have children and/or pets walking all over the grass, the organic solution may be preferable. It costs a little more and takes a bit longer to see results, but you may sleep better at night not wondering about the chemicals in your yard. Soil composition is only one factor affecting lawn health. "High humidity, moisture, stress conditions and certain types of grass can create favorable conditions for problems such as lawn fungus, brown patches, red thread and other lawn diseases," according to information published by SavaLawn.
What, exactly, is your problem?
Although there's the temptation to throw everything you can at a lawn

Timing is everything
problem at the beginning of the spring, that may not be the best time. This year, many people have problems because of the early spring. Ideally, said Boes, "a pre-emergent broadleaf [weed] control and fertilizer kills weed seeds and feeds the lawn." But you may have missed your window of opportunity to use a pre-emergent product, since everything started to grow about a month early. If you want to reseed your lawn, you will need to apply a post-emergent weed killer, and then you will have to wait a while to apply grass seed. "Ideally, you should do seeding in the fall, not in the spring," said Boes, "because the soil temperature is still up but you don't have weeds emerging." Aeration is another remedy for sick lawns. The healthiest lawns have nice, deep roots. If the soil is compacted, water can't get deep down into the soil. The grass roots stay near the surface, and it's easy for those plants to be killed by drought, excessive water, people walking on the lawn, the wheels of lawnmowers, and so on. When landscapers do a core aeration, they use a machine that brings up little cylinders of soil, creatContinued on page 11A

dormant in the winter, so you don't have to cut them back or take them out. It's natural for them to do that, and the old leaves compost and produce the next generation.� In addition to consulting landscape designers such as Gilliland and Beyers, there are a number of reference books and sources on using ferns. Gilliland suggested Christopher Lloyd's "Garden Flowers: Perennials, Bulbs, Grasses, Ferns,� William Cullina's "Native Ferns, Moss and Grasses,� A.M. Armitage's "Native Plants for North American Gardens,� and "Designing Gardens with Flora of the American East,� by Carolyn Summers as good references. And, unbeknownst to many local residents, there's a fern expert living right here in Westchester County. Dr. John Mickel, senior curator emeritus at the Institute of Systemic Botany, lives in Briarcliff Manor. Interpretation of ferns to the public has been a major part of his career. As founder and only secretary of the New York Fern Society, and founder and editor of the American Fern Society's bulletin, Fiddlehead Forum, Dr. Mickel is a longtime public lecturer on fern cultivation who has shared his expertise with a number of local garden clubs over the years. He is also the author of "Ferns for American Gardens: The Definitive Guide for Selecting and Growing More Than 500 Kinds of Hardy Ferns.�
he comforts of modern living have moved outdoors. In the last several years, a sluggish economy and high gasoline prices have motivated people to take "staycations� and relax in their own backyards. "You just have to provide people with a reason to stay home,� said landscape designer Tom Dieck, of TRD Designs Ltd., in Katonah. His solution for beautiful serenity, destination-style fun and open-air luxury is achieved through thoughtful space planning, perimeter privacy, and interesting special features. "The outdoor living room is a central concept in most designs these days,� he said. It usually involves a protected space — with a roof or canopy — to make it compatible with various weather conditions. Furniture sets, weather-resistant cushions and outdoor rugs complete the look. Beyond the outdoor living room, visuals are important. "It's important to create focal points to draw the eye out toward something interesting or beautiful, such as a water feature, a sculpture or a pleasing plant,� Dieck said. "But it's equally important to keep the eye inside your own backyard. You don't want to be looking at your
neighbors while enjoying your outdoor oasis.� Stone walls, vine covered fences and large perimeter hedges provide appropriate natural screening. "With comfort and the right atmosphere, you'll never want to leave,� Dieck said. 1) Pondless waterfalls: Pondless waterfalls offer all the benefits of a waterfall stream without the pond. As a perfect focal point, a waterfall adds elements of movement and tranquil sound to a garden. A waterfall also attracts wildlife — birds, frogs and butterflies — that seek it as a habitat. Pondless waterfalls fit into small spaces and are safe, low maintenance and self-sustaining. 2) Fountainscapes: Fountainscapes can be made out of natural stone columns, overflowing urns, stacked vessels, birdbaths or anything else that combines sculptural form with flowing water. Easy to maintain, fountainscapes are based on recirculating systems that refill by rain. Movement prevents the risk of mosquito larvae that normally breed in stagnant water. 3) Outdoor lighting: Backyards do not go away at night. With proper lighting, an outdoor environment will be as interesting by night as by day. LED lights offer the truest, brightest, whitest light — like moonlight. They last three or four times longer than halogen bulbs, and they burn cooler. Dieck recommends a combination of lights for the best effects and mood. Strong bright
lights should be reserved for areas where safety or security is a concern; path lighting belongs near walkways, and directed lighting can focus on task areas (such as a grill); subtle accent lighting best illuminates special landscape elements. "If done properly, you should never see the source of the lighting — just the effects,â€? Dieck said. 4) Outdoor ďŹ replaces, pits and hearths: Like water, fire creates movement, sound and interaction. But more than water, fire also generates inviting warmth and a pleasing scent of burning wood. A permanent fire feature extends the use of an outdoor space by generating comfort during cool evenings. The ability to roast marshmallows or hot dogs over an open flame is an added bonus. Just make sure they're permitted where you live. 5) Breakaway patios: A breakaway patio is a cozy, intimate space in which an individual or a couple can find privacy for reading, conversation or romance. Breakaway patios are most evocative if they are not obviously visible. The area can be made of any material, such as mosaic bluestone, a small wooden deck or even grass. It should have a loveseat and subtle lighting, as well as a beautiful feature, such as a small fountain or specimen plant. Often, a subtle stepping-stone path defines the way to the destination patio, but the walkway should appear more random than obvious. The patio should feel like a discovered Eden. — TRACI DUTTON LUDWIG

ing lots of holes for water to enter. Many landscapers do this job in the spring, but that's not ideal if there are a lot of weeds, because, according to Boes, "This also brings the weeds up." A good time to apply seed is after aerating, because when you do apply seed, it has to have a way to get into the soil. Applying seed over a thatch of dead grass and hard soil won't do much. At the very least, you need to vigorously rake up the lawn so the seed has someplace to go. Bad patches
Suppose your lawn is generally in good shape but has patches of dead or yellowing grass. The problem could be that some fertilizer has killed a patch of grass, or doggie visitors have upset the chemical balance of the soil. Now, the soil is contaminated. So putting seed and fertilizer there won't do much. The best remedy for patches of contaminated soil begins with getting that contamination away from the surface. Dig a spade into the soil and try to remove the whole dead patch, along with a few inches of soil, in one piece. Flip the whole thing over. Now, you've transferred the contaminated material deep underground, where it will dissipate. You should flood the area with water to drive the contaminants further underground. Then you can seed and fertilize the bare patches. It's essential to keep the seeded
areas constantly moist until the seed germinates, which may take a couple of weeks. If you let the seeds dry out before they put out roots, they will probably die. Starting over
Sod is the high-ticket solution for bringing a lawn back from the dead. Sod is like wall-to-wall carpet for your lawn, complete with weed-free grass and its own root system. But for sod to establish itself well on your soil, it needs to be able to put down roots, receive adequate water and get enough sunlight to grow properly. Boes explained that if homeowners don't have an irrigation system and are thinking of installing a sod lawn, the time to get those sprinklers installed is before the sod is laid down. "It's much more difficult to install sprinklers after sod is down," he said. Keeping the sod well-watered will help its roots reach down, into the soil below. "A steadily, properly irrigated lawn will be healthier because you're able to drive the root growth," said Boes. He added that once the sod is established with roots in the underlying soil, it should be aerated to promote water reaching deep into the ground. Compared to most existing lawns, sod lawns are very dense, and water has trouble getting through. Don't aerate sod before the roots are established, though: if you can pull on a section of sod and it comes up like a doormat, it's not rooted

late-summer — so you'll always have flowers to pull from. Think about when things are in bloom." Silver thinks about composition, about harmonious arrangements. She recommends thinking about color palettes that you like and having the flowers all work together and blend. A palette of white, yellow, blue and purple is one combination. Orange, red and bright yellow is another. "Think outside the box," Silver said. "Don't limit yourself to flowers only.

Plant at least a small percentage of foliage plants — plants that have, for example, striped leaves or really crinkly texture. Those are plants that really lend an accent and a nice complement to all colorful blooms. Look through the nursery for striking foliage that catches your eye.

stature and weight of flowering shrubs adds nice heft and diversity to delicate flowers. Azalea, or hydrangea, roses, add something unexpected." In an ideal world a garden would get "tons of sun and no deer." But not everybody has that kind of acreage. If your space is limited, Silver suggests weaving a cutting bed through a border or traditional garden: "If the sunniest place is in your foundation bed, use it." Quantity is essential for a cutting garden. "Be judicious in what you pick," Silver said. "If you can't have a large variety, quantity is what matters. I have a ton of coneflower. I can take it all season and I won't have a hole in the garden. You don't want a gaping hole." Silver aims for at least one of every perennial bloom in every season. For spring blooms Silver likes allium and peonies — "They look pretty together," she said. In summer, astilbe and white and green coneflowers; in late summer/early fall, green hydrangeas "cut judiciously, to take inside." She also likes Montauk daisies, anemones and lilyturf, which she describes as very low, with grassy foliage, and a spiky purple flower. The name of the rose
All the experts recommended roses. "The fairy rose is a very good beginner rose to start with. It's sturdy, very pest and disease resistant, low maintenance," Silver said. Krautter recommends a separate rose cutting garden, although he said "roses are pretty no matter where you use them. You can use a flowering rose instead of a flowering shrub." Hybrid tea roses are going out of style, Krautter said, but the new "Knockout" varieties are more disease resistant and easy to grow. Beautiful arrangements

For long-lasting arrangements, Vizioli of Cherry Lawn advised cutting a bloom when it is about one-third of the way open for "optimum life in the vase." Avoid cutting all flowers off one plant at one time, so you won't deplete the garden: "It will take two or three weeks to rebloom." Early morning or dusk is the best time to cut a flower. "You don't want to do it when the plant is under stress, when the sun is high in the sky," Vizioli said. "The same goes for watering or fertilizing." Before placing a bloom in water, strip the leaves off. Cut the stems at an angle "so they don't sit flat on the bottom of the vase," Vizioli said, because that cuts off the water supply to the bloom. Add a floralife packet because the flowers continue to "drink up some of the nutrients" and change the water midway through the week. "The plants don't know they've been cut," Vizioli said. "With nutrients and water, they're tricked." Now you can enjoy your garden inside and out.

yet. It may take four to six weeks for sod to lock into the soil. Sprinkler savvy
Sometimes installing an irrigation system or tweaking an existing system can give a lawn a new lease on life. "The design is absolutely the crucial part of the irrigation system,� said Boes. "You need to know how to design a system for the amount of slope, and for sun and shade factors. You need to separate the lawn from the shrubs and high water-need plants.� Even though it may seem more complicated, said Boes, the more zones you have, the better. Not only will you be able to control the frequency and duration of the watering in each zone, but you will be able to choose what types of sprinkler heads deliver water to different areas of the garden. If you have put in a flowerbed where you used to have lawn, and you already have a sprinkler system, the sprinkler heads delivering water to that part of the property should probably be changed because flowers and shrubs have different water needs from grass lawns. Expect to reset your sprinkler system a few times during the growing season. If you have your sprinkler system set up by your irrigation company when they arrive this month to turn it on for the season, the system does not need to be delivering as much water now as it will in the heat of the summer. It may seem like a pain to keep resetting the system when
The RECORD-REVIEW | Page 13A
the weather changes, but it's necessary, unless you invest in a controller that is weather-sensitive. These are newest generation of irrigation system controllers. They adapt to the weather conditions and continually change the program for each zone, so the homeowner never has to touch it. Not only can this kind of controller do away with changing the programming several times a year, it also prevents your lawn from being soaked with water the day after a major rainstorm. Don't undo your hard work
Once you've done everything possible to get a gorgeous lawn, don't let that hard work be undone. • Don't over-irrigate in shady areas where grass is thinly established; these areas will tend to become flooded after watering, and they'll turn into mud pits when you run a mower over them. • Be sure the lawn mower blades you or your gardener uses are nice and sharp. If the ends of the grass look jagged, the blades of the mower are dull. Blades of grass that are injured this way will put out a clear, sticky liquid. If this happens, the lawn should be watered thoroughly. • Is your gardener's mower contagious? If he is not cleaning off his mower blades from his last job before he comes to your property, his mower could be transferring weeds to your pristine lawn. • Don't cut your lawn too short. Let it grow to 3� to promote dense growth and healthy roots. • If you see weeds emerging, leave your grass a little longer, about 3 1/2 inches, to choke out the weeds and deprive them of sunlight.

Tutorage to Verdas
Sarah soon found out that tutorage was, exactly, what Lady Abigail had in mind. And since traveling by carriage over hard dirt roads was quite bumpy, they focused on conversation and etiquette. Over and over it seemed Sarah repeated after Lady Abigail when to stand and when to sit; how to address who and what motions to go through.
By the end of the first day Sarah envied the driver, who got to sit facing forward, concentrating on naught but the road. Of course it wouldn't be proper for a Lady to sit up there, though apparently a Madame could. A Madame, Sarah discovered, would be able to drive her own carriage if need be. But, since Jason was a Lord, not a Knight, Sarah would become a Lady, not a Madame, upon their marriage. And so Lady Abigail nixed the idea of Sarah learning to drive the carriage.
By the end of the second day Sarah sorely wished she could ride with Jason. Unfortunately etiquette dictated that a Lady did not ride the same horse as a man. Not unless he was immediate family, or her betrothed. To Sarah engagement and betrothal were the same thing, but apparently the rings only symbolized engagement. They would not be betrothed until after a ceremony that would signify the start of their Tri-luna. And so Lady Abigail nixed the idea of Sarah riding with Jason.
By midday of the third day Sarah just wanted a break. They had been going over etiquette, again. This time Lady Abigail had been giving Sarah all sorts of situations that she had to respond to correctly. And Sarah, poor Sarah, wasn't doing very well. They stopped to rest and eat a light snack when Lady Abigail gave Sarah the most complex situation she'd had yet. Sarah gave the best answer she could and held her breath.
"You just offended half the court, including the King," Lady Abigail sighed.
"I'm trying, really I am," Sarah hung her head.
She'd never get it all straight, not unless Jay helped her and she wasn't about to cheat, not yet. It was just so hard for Sarah to remember all the nuances. People are people and you give them the respect they deserve, that was her parents's mantra; what she had grown up with.
"Perhaps," Jason began. Sarah could feel his sympathy.
Lady Abigail flourished a hand at him and he didn't continue. "A rest, yes," Lady Abigail looked to Sarah. "Your worst offence is forgetting titles and rank."
She moved to the carriage and Jason quickly helped her in. He then proffered a hand to Sarah and she accepted his help. Finding Lady Abigail sitting in her spot Sarah took Lady Abigail's former seat.
"But," the Lady continued, "as you have the capacity for being respectful your offences can be down played; however, you do need to pay more attention to rank." The woman reached over and patted Sarah's knee. "Now, I recommend you get some rest. We will be arriving late but will want to be up early to get the best of what we need at market."
A tap to the ceiling signaled the carriage to take off. Sarah watched as Lady Abigail settled into her seat and closed her eyes. Though sorely tempted to sleep as well, Sarah couldn't. She felt too excited and she could tell that some of it came from Jason.
We're close? She asked silently.
We will be there by nightfall, before the gates close, if we hurry, he replied mentally.
His horse paced alongside the carriage and he turned to smile at her. The road here was wider and, Sarah took the opportunity to look at it, seemingly paved. Jason urged his horse forward and their group picked up speed.
Given that the road was smoother and Sarah could now look out the window, the journey became a whole lot better. It could also be, she thought, because she knew it was coming to a close. Sarah watched as they traveled past farms and ranches. The air smelled of cows and horses, and, she wrinkled her nose, even chickens. But that smell ceased quickly and soon well-tended fields came into view. They were so well-tended and monotonous that Sarah fell asleep.

Sometimes tours make your life easier when you're on vacation. By far, the Great Ocean Road tour listed below was the best tour I took during my trip to Australia. It meant I didn't have to try to drive (on the opposite side of the road! and the opposite side of the car!) while also trying to admire the scenery…you know, the whole reason for venturing out to the Great Ocean Road.

Since the amounts of ingredients are simple to remember and there are not so many steps, they were really easy to make.
They can be ready in no time so they are perfect snack when you have unexpected guests over or when you want a snack just for you.

Duvet set beautiful!
Given to my grown daughter and she loved it! I was concerned that it was poly not cotton, but the suede finish is soft and comfortable. The colors are true to the photo and it's well made. The pillow covers have hidden zippers. She loves the accent pillows too. She'll use a down comforter rather and the insert, but it's there if you need it.

AMHCA Foundation: AMHCF Is Your Foundation!
The birth of the AMHCA Foundation was an important event during my 15-year tenure as executive director & CEO of AMHCA. But as I noted in my final column for The Advocate when I retired from AMHCA last fall, I have continued my interest and support of AMHCA by serving on the Foundation's board of trustees.
"To improve the mental health of all Americans through public education about mental health issues, mental health research, access to mental health services, and promoting high standards for mental health practitioners."
As part of fulfilling that mission, the Foundation is now in its third year of offering student scholarships for both travel and research. In the future, the AMHCF board hopes to offer more scholarships and at expanded dollar amounts.
page on the Foundation website for donors who wish to honor an individual with a donation. All such donations will be recognized on the AMHCF webpage and in The Advocate. (See the appreciation for Phyllis Murn in the adjacent box.) We are also exploring an endowment fund that will allow planned giving and estate bequests.

Known Issues with Windows 10 Creator Update (Version 1703)
Posted by Renewed Vision on April 19, 2017 at 11:12 AM
We've currently found a few issues with ProPresenter 5 and 6 in the new Windows 10 Creator Update. We would recommend NOT installing this update at this time until these issues are resolved.
For ProPresenter5 specifically, the issue is the program will not install. At this time, we have seen no issues wtih existing installations, but the program will not install as a new application on the OS.
For ProPresenter6, the program itself will not open. We are seeing multiple KernelBase errors from the OS and our team is looking into what is triggering those at this time. We do not know if this will require a ProPresenter update at this point.
Please keep watch here and through our other channels and we will release more information as it becomes available.

Unfortunately, it has come to our attention that the drivers from DisplayLink which control the USB adapter availbale through our Store, as well as, most USB Display adapters on the market, are currently causing incompatibility with Mac OS 10.12.4
They've listed this information on their website here, http://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/949426 and the main issue we're seeing is related to this in their list, "Since 10.12.4, some systems show corrupted window contents in some applications (Word, Keynote, Parallels, LVC for example). (31495935)"
We have had a few issues reported such as slow downs in the program itself, as well as, outputs not working as expected through the USB adapter. From what we've seen so far, this has mostly affected those using the Live Slide causing a static look on the Stage Display, but other issues have been reported as well.
At this time, the only recommendations/work-arounds we have is to either not update to OS 10.12.4 until this is rectified or you will need to find a separate output on the computer to send your Stage Display output through. We apologize for the inconvenience, but unfortunately, this issue is out of our hands.

macOS Sierra and iOS 10 (updated)
Posted by Renewed Vision on July 07, 2016 at 03:16 PM
ProPresenter 6.1.1, released on September 26, includes a number of fixes specifically related to macOS Sierra. We think we've found everything that was related to changes in Sierra and that ProPresenter is now compatible. Third-party drivers for Blackmagic and Matrox have not been officially updated for Sierra yet. As with every new operating system release, we still recommend waiting until Apple releases the first software update for Sierra and testing on a non-critical computer first.
Our iOS applications should work fine in iOS 10.
ProPresenter 5 is only supported through OS X 10.10. We have created a discussion thread for anyone who wants to try it out, however we will not be updating ProPresenter 5 to support macOS Sierra.
We are currently working on certifying our other software (PVP and PVS) on Sierra. As always it is far safer to wait to update at the very least several weeks if at all possible.
It's also important to remember that many third-party device drivers may be slow in updating. If you are using a Matrox DualHead or TripleHead, it may not work at all. The same goes for the USB display adapter used for stage display.
Here are the links to the forum threads about the above topic:

ProPresenter 5 and OS X El Capitan (10.11) compatibility issues
Posted by Renewed Vision on May 24, 2016 at 09:11 PM
We are aware of issues with ProPresenter 5 and OS X 10.11.5 and 10.11.6, the latest update to El Capitan. ProPresenter 5 is only supported through OS X 10.10, Yosemite. The latest update to El Capitan appears to cause some kind of an issue with one or more user data files in ProPresenter 5. We have provided instructions for fixing this based on what we have found to work for some of our users. You can find these instructions in our user forums by clicking on this link.

MELBOURNE: Australian shares rose 0.7 percent on Wednesday, with banks and miners to the fore, but investors were cautious awaiting Wall Street's reaction to the re-election of USPresident Barack Obama.
Retailers declined after policymakers left Australia's official cash rate unchanged this week.
"Local investors were trading in non-committal fashion today until we see what verdict Wall Street delivers in response to the election result," said Tim Waterer, trader at CMC Markets.
The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index gained 31.7 points to 4,516.5, according to the latest data, a one-week closing high and the fourth straight day of gains.
New Zealand's benchmark NZX 50 index added 0.4 percent to 3,943.1.
US stock futures' reaction became less bearish as the vote counting progressed. S&P 500 Index futures were down 0.6 percent, having dropped as much as 1 percent earlier, pointing to a reversal of most of Wall Street's election day gains when trading resumes, but Asian shares rose amid relief that the result was clear-cut.
Investors will now turn their attention on US "fiscal-cliff" negotiations on spending cuts and tax increases, which kick in at the end of the year unless a deal is reached.
"The general malaise is bigger than either of those individuals. It's a substantial restructuring challenge over a number of years. I don't think there are any quick fixes," said Tim Schroeders, a portfolio manager at Pengana Capital.
Commonwealth Bank of Australia rose 0.6 percent to A$57.80, its best close since mid-2010, after it said first-quarter cash earnings rose 6 percent to A$1.85 billion.
Macquarie Group gained 1.7 percent to A$31.74 after agreeing a home loan distribution deal with Yellow Brick Road , aiming to compete with the nation's big four banks.
BHP Billiton rose 0.5 percent to A$34.98 on strength in copper and iron ore prices.
The top global miner has started hunting for a new chief executive in a process that could take one to two years, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday. BHP declined to comment on the specifics in the report, but said succession planning was an ongoing process.
Downer EDI rose 5.9 percent to A$3.62 after it said its Waratah project was a substantially lower risk to the business and it mainitained guidance of net profit after tax of A$210 million.
News Corp rose 3.2 percent to A$24.10 after quarterly profit beat analyst expectations, helped by growth at cable television networks such as Fox News Channel and FX.
Retailer Harvey Norman fell 2.2 percent to A$1.81, a record closing low, after it said same-store sales fell 7.8 percent in the three months to Sept. 30, indicating a quarterly fall in profit of 20 percent.

Something was missing, and I didn't exactly know what it was. Around a year or so ago, I joined a big agency, and that gave me a chance to look at a lot of sites, provide in-depth consultation audits for a number of clients, perform monthly strategy reviews for others, inform the sales team on issues that might be helpful to address in proposals, and help other SEOs within the company when they asked for it.
I enjoyed doing these things, but there was something missing. I enjoyed working with the crew that I worked with as well. It's great to work with people who are excited about the Web and about learning and growing. I'm now going to be working with a new crew who are filled with excitement and energy and innovation.

July is Busiest Month in Decades at Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport
The month of July was a remarkable month for the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport. The most passengers in twenty years utilized the facility and Allegiant Air set a monthly passenger record at the Airport.
August 9, 2012
Contact: Dan Dickten, YNG Director of Aviation
VIENNA, OH - The number of passengers utilizing the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport (YNG) reached a 20-year high in July, YNG's Director of Aviation Dan Dickten announced today. The July passenger count, 10,869, represents a 32% increase over July 2011 and was the highest monthly total since June 1992, when 12,357 passengers flew into and out of YNG.
Allegiant Air also set a record in July flying nearly 10,000 passengers to and from destinations in Florida and South Carolina during the period. Allegiant Air's Manager of Airports Eric Fletcher said, "The passenger traffic definitely is great news. We appreciate our partnership and support of the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport and we look forward to it continuing into the future." In all, the carrier sold 93% of the available seats on the MD-83 aircraft it uses to service YNG.
"July was truly a remarkable month for the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport," Dickten said. "The impressive increase in passenger traffic clearly demonstrates that a steadily growing number of travelers are choosing YNG over other airports in the region because of our convenience, affordability, and the simpler, better airport experience we offer."
Mr. Dickten also noted that 48,251 passengers have used YNG so far this year, a six percent increase over 2011. He attributes the steadily rising passenger count to the fact that people from Akron, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh are making the short drive to YNG to take advantage of Allegiant Air's attractive flight schedule and reasonable fares.
About the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport
The Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport is located in Vienna, OH on Ohio State Route 193. Allegiant Air offers nonstop service to Orlando, Tampa Bay, and Myrtle Beach from YNG. In addition, casino tour operators offer frequent charters to Atlantic City, Tunica, and Gulfport/Biloxi.
