To that end, she decided to create such a space by turning the Min- eral School into live-in residency program in which writers can hone their craft. “I think people have a fond- ness for architecture of this era,” she said. “Plus, there’s something kind of sweet about being in an old school.” Hodges has attended several residency programs herself, and knows the benefits they can offer. Keeping up with the responsibilities of life and managing a household occupies a lot of mental space and doesn’t really give the mind time to wander. Being in a quiet area, and having all of your needs met, the mind has Dameon Pesanti / [email protected] space to get creative.

MLB Commentary Diaz: Kids Don’t Deserve Participation Trophies, Medals For Showing up By George Diaz Orlando Sentinel (MCT) Welcome to America, where everybody is a winner! Step on up, Billy, and collect that big ‘ol trophy for letting the fly ball drop on your head in the ninth inning! Sarah, come collect your hardware for your efforts in helping your softball team go 0-22 this season! Marty, you were fabulous setting a league record for fumbles this season, so come on down and collect your Big Prize! James Harrison’s unfiltered rant about participation medals and trophies has set off another great debate in social media. Are we cod- dling our kids too much? Or are we doing the right thing by encourag- ing kids to play sports and hooking them up with prizes, regardless of the score? There is no one-size-fits-all answer, unfortunately. Little ones should very much be encouraged to play, and rewarding them with trophies or medals isn’t necessarily a Ellen M. Banner/ MCT bad thing for a 5- or 6-year-old.

Editor: Eric Schwartz Phone number: 807-8224 Life e-mail: [email protected] TheThe PitsPits (and(and more)more) Recycle kitchen scraps into plants By Dean Fosdick The Associated Press "Garbage gardening" is an easy and inexpensive way to grow flowers and edibles using kitchen scraps — the pits, seeds and roots that otherwise would be headed to a landfill. It's a fun way to recycle. Educational for the kids, too. "Almost every unprocessed fruit or vegetable can be grown into a decorative houseplant," said Deborah Peterson, co-author of "Don't Throw It, Grow It" (Sto- rey Publishing, 2008). "Some are perennials, others are annuals or bien- nials," Peterson said. "You will be amazed as you discover how these beautiful plants can develop." Chickpeas, for instance, can be coaxed to flower in hanging baskets, and beets can be transformed into showy dish gardens with their colorful purple and green foliage surrounding contrasting blooms. Start new plants on the windowsill by using the byproducts from roots, nuts, tubers, beans, bulbs, seeds or cuttings. The "garbage," if you will. Water, pebbles, soil or peat can be

used as a growing medium. "Every plant you grow should go outside for five months or so, depending upon where you live," said Peterson, from Scituate, Massachusetts. "Winter becomes a holding pattern (for perennials), just keeping them alive. But once they're out again, in summer, they're wonderful." Marianne Ophardt, Washington State Univer- sity Extension's Benton County director, added, "Gar- bage gardening is done more to teach children about plants than it is to create new gardens." "Most of your kitchen scraps will be thrown away, but some can be used to provide a unique learning opportunity," she said. Children often want instant gratification, so keep things simple. Choose quick-sprouting plants like potatoes, beans, carrots, melons and radishes. "Pineapples wouldn't be a good idea," Peterson said; it takes pineapples two or more years to fully mature and produce flower stalks. Beware trying to grow plants from im- ported fruits or vegetables, like the papaya, kiwi or pomegranate commonly found in grocery stores during the winter, Peterson said. Study labels for the fruits' origin. Many have been irradiated, making them sterile, meaning they won't sprout. "I love mangos and every year try to get one to grow, but they just don't," Peterson said. Also, avoid hybrid fruits and vegetables because their seeds won't deliver the same taste. Choose self-pollinating produce, like toma- toes, Ophardt said. "You can save those seeds and get the taste you want." Citrus seeds are capable of becoming flour- ishing houseplants because they tolerate home temperatures and dry, indoor air. But under most home conditions, citrus plants started from seed will not flower or bear fruit, according to a University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension fact sheet. "Indoor citrus plants seen with flowers and or fruits are special miniature varieties," it said. "Plants grown from standard eating varieties will make decorative foliage specimens and attractive floor plants." Some recycled remnants can do double duty as or- namental and edible. Take sweet potatoes, for instance. "I use them in my window boxes as decorative vines," Peterson said. "I have a collection of small (sweet) potatoes about the size of my thumb when I take them out of the box in November. They really taste good."
