WSU Making a Difference Just a Slight Twist on an Old Riddle WSU Making a Difference Just a slight twist on an old riddle; what is black and white and read all over… and very useful in the garden? Yep, it’s newspaper. When you are done reading your Mason County Journal, instead of tossing or recycling it, save it to use in your garden. With the exception of the glossy inserts, using newspaper is environmentally sound. The inks used are no longer toxic and the paper pulp is processed without harmful chemicals. Not only safe, it can save you time and money. Seedling Pots – Soon it will be time to start plants from seed and rather than purchasing starter pots, make some out of newspaper. You can fold and make pots with the help of an online tutorial. Just go to your favorite web browser and do a search for “newspaper origami seedling pots”. Your search will turn up a number of videos for you to watch. This is a fun activity to do with kids to get them engaged with recycling and gardening. Weed Suppression ‐ Shredded newspapers or whole sheets may be used as mulch in the home garden. When using newspaper sheets, place a layer of two or three sheets between plant rows in the garden. Water the sheets so they stick to one another and to the soil surface, then place a layer of mulch over the newspaper. Container Gardens – Cut newspaper into the circle or shape of the top of your flower pot to slow the loss of moisture. The newspaper will suppress weeds but still allow air and water to pass through. Another tip is to line the bottom and sides of terra cotta pots with a few sheets of newspaper. After planting, cover any visible paper with mulch. This will help a porous pot hold more moisture. Trap Insects and Pests – Use a wetted section of newspaper to trap slugs, earwigs and other nocturnal pests in the garden. Just place it out at dusk and it becomes a pest motel. Pick it up in the morning and toss it along with any visitors it may have attracted. Composting – Newspaper can provide the needed carbon for your compost pile. If your compost pile has a bit of an odor, it is a sign that it needs more carbon. Rip up sections of the newspaper and add it to the pile. Give it a toss and the smell will be gone. In the summer you can lay the newspaper on untreated grass and run it over with the lawn mower. The mixture of grass and paper will be a perfect mix of nitrogen and carbon for your compost. Tool Cleaner – To get double duty out of the newspaper, keep sheets of it around to clean the dirt and debris off of tools. To finish off the cleaning and ward off rust, dip the tools into a bucket of sand mixed with oil. Then reuse the paper in your compost pile, container or garden bed. Newspapers do more than contain the news you need to know. They provide a frugal and environmentally sound resource for the garden.

  • Clinton E. Riddle
    THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE KNOXVILLE AN INTERVIEW WITH CLINTON E. RIDDLE FOR THE VETERAN’S ORAL HISTORY PROJECT CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF WAR AND SOCIETY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY INTERVIEWED BY G. KURT PIEHLER SETH M. WOMACK DUNFORD HALL MARCH 19, 2002 TRANSCRIPT BY SETH M. WOMACK REVIEWED BY CARRIE DAVISSON MAGGIE L.YANCEY G. KURT PIEHLER: This begins an interview with Clinton Riddle on March 20, 2002 in Knoxville, Tennessee with Kurt Piehler and … SETH WOMACK: Seth Womack. PIEHLER: I’d like to just begin with a very formal question. When were you born and where were you born? CLINTON E. RIDDLE: I was born on February 24, 1921 in Loudon County. PIEHLER: And your parents—their names were Eva Grace Riddle and Samuel Elmer Riddle? RIDDLE: That’s correct. PIEHLER: And could you just tell me, I guess, a little about your parents? RIDDLE: My father was a farmer. That’s all he knew was farming, and my mother was a housewife. I was the only child and being the oldest and youngest in our family, they say the only child is petted! I disagree with that. (Laughter) But I grew up; I went to grammar school at the Luttrell School which is a country school up to the eighth grade. Then I started to school in Sweetwater, graduated from the eighth grade, went to Sweetwater high school, [and] graduated in 1941. The last year, senior year, I took Diversified Occupations. I took Department Store Management, and I worked at McKinney’s department store during the school year and the following summer up to Thanksgiving.

  • Isneg and Kankanay Riddles Explained
    Isneg and Kankanay Riddles Explained By Morige Vanoverbergh, CICM CONTENTS Introduction. A Preliminary Remark. I. Men. 1 . In General. 2. The Body. 3. Ailments and Defects. 4. Actions. II. Food and Drink. III. Dress and Adornment. IV. Buildings and Constructions. V. Furniture and Implements. VI, Animals. VII. Plants. VIII. The Outside. IX. Natural Phenomena. INTRODUCTION This paper is an attempt at analysis of Isneg and Kankanay riddles from a collection of about one thousand items: 645 of the Isneg (not including several variants), and 338 of the Kankanay (including a few variants). This does not mean that I have always been successful in unraveling the enigma, which is the essence of the riddle.1 Both Isneg and Kankanay inhabit the Cordillera Mountains of Northern Luzon, the Isneg in the extreme north, the Kankanay towards the south. 1 . The Isneg riddles，text and translation, were published in Tokyo in Folk­ lore Studies，Vol. X II, (1953), pp. 1—95. The Kankanay riddles were published by the University of Manila in Journal of East Asian Studies, V o l.II (Jan. 1953)， 20 pages. 38 MORICE VANOVERBERGH A PRELIMINARY REMARK A vast number of both Isneg and Kankanay riddles consist of two parts, both of them having the same ending. This has to be kept in mind when trying to solve any of them, because the first part has often nothing to do with its solution except as it merely furnishes the necessary rhyme. This is especially true when names either of persons or of places are mentioned. In Isneg: Pineapple: Sissida ka daya Nagsi-si-ka baxaス A fish upstream, its scales are brass.
