Everyone in Bevier that knows 20 year old Tyler Hendricks knows he is an excellent fi t for Emergency Management Direc-tor of Bevier. Tyler has been a volunteer fi reman since 2006 and fi rst responder for over 2 years. He is one of many that drop ev-erything to help when emergency situations occur.
The city decided last fall that it would be in the best interest of the citizens to be “Storm Ready” so they took action. Upon appoint-ing an EMD, they have already taken steps to make the commu-nity safer and more prepared for the approaching storm season.
“Being Storm Ready will make it a little easier to apply for grants” stated Hendricks. “We received 3 new weather radios and placed

them in the Post Offi ce, School and City Offi ce. I encourage all businesses to purchase a weather radio”.
Being “Storm Ready” requires a yearly training as well as an inspection from the National Weather Service in Pleasant Hill every two years.
The city has moved the storm siren to the city park where it can be heard about 3 miles away. They have also made arrange-ments for the Catholic and Bap-tist churches to be opened to the public as storm shelters in case of an emergency.
Hendricks also added that there would be more storm spotters out during bad weather to report any sightings of tornadoes.
The 20 year old has been a volunteer in emergency
situations since 2006

BEVIER STUDENT OF THE WEEK
WELCOME TO THE SOUTH EDITION OF THE MACON HOME PRESS!
It’s that time of year, once again, to think of dresses, dates, fl owers and ev-erything to do with Prom. For the Af-ter Prom Party Committee it’s a time of planning and fundraising.
The After Prom Party is a fun and safe alternative for the kids to attend. After Prom ends…the party begins! The Bevier prom and After Prom Par-ty will be held on Saturday April 21, 2012. This will be the fi rst year the Bevier students will be bused to an-other town for the After Prom Party, which in years past has always been held at the school.
Immediately following the Prom, the students are given 30 minutes to change into comfortable clothes and board the 2 buses headed for the Chili-cothe YMCA. Students MUST be signed in and on the bus no later than 11:30 pm.
Activities at the Y include, racquet-ball, tennis, game room, pool, hot tub, gym, track, refreshments and prize drawings. The After Prom Party is made possible by various fundraisers held throughout the year and by the generous donations from local busi-nesses and private donations as well.
Donation cards will be mailed out in the next few weeks to the business-es and the response is always over-whelming and greatly appreciated. These donations help purchase the many prizes for the drawings, refresh-ments, Y admissions and the transpor-tation this year to and from Chilicothe.

OATS bus riders from Macon County had the opportunity to travel to Jefferson City on Feb. 1 to show their support of OATS and talk to their congressmen and express their feelings about how the OATS system is es-sential and depended on by many people in Mis-souri. The group from Macon met with Rep. Tom Shively and Senator Brian Munzlinger.
Sponsored by the Mis-souri Public Transporta-tion Association in co-op-eration with Citizens for Modern Transit, the event is designed to allow pro-viders and users of public transit to come together to meet with their legislators.
For the past two years, only OATS staff and a
Macon County OATS visits Jefferson Cityfew volunteers attended, but, this year riders had the opportunity to partici-pate in large numbers and communicate what OATS means to them and how rural transportation is es-sential for residents in northeast Missouri. OATS provided transportation to the Capitol for their riders from all over Missouri.
The mission of OATS, Inc. is to provide reliable transportation for trans-portation disadvantaged Missourians so they can live independently in their own communities.
Macon County riders told about how the OATS bus enables them to be in-dependent and stay in their own homes. The system
provides transportation to doctor and other ap-pointments, shopping for groceries and household items, hair care appoint-ments and employment. I
Traveling on the bus is also a social event, riders share experiences and in-quire about friends, fam-ily and neighbors. The riders have fun and talk about old times and cur-rent events. The pleas-ant trips usually include an outing to a restaurant. In many circumstances, some people have no one they can call to help them get somewhere and they don’t want to be a burden to their friends and family.
Rep. Shively said it was important to hear from
the Macon County OATS members, who rely on the OATS system. Shively greeted the Macon County residents and also provid-ed pizza for their lunch. He said “It is important to get their input and hear their personal experienc-es.” Shively talked with the group and also posed for pictures with them.
As a not-for-profi t pub-lic transportation system, OATS buses traveled 15,418,331 miles in 2011 to provide service to 87 counties in the Show-Me State.
The Macon County rid-ers all commented about the people who drive their bus. They said the drivers are always very courte-
ous and helpful. The buses are handicap accessibleand the drivers are always there to help them on andoff the vehicle.
The group also enjoyedseeing the Capitol build-ing. The Capitol covers three acres in downtown Jefferson City. Inside, the Missouri State Mu-seum has many items of historical signifi cance.The impressive artwork in the State Capitol in-cludes pieces by ThomasHart Benton and Sir Frank Brangwyn and is very im-pressive to view.

BY JIM COIN
Welcome to Coin-oper-ated. What you’re getting ready to encounter in this piece is normal every day adventures, observations and maybe something im-portant ( don’t hold your breath on that important stuff ) from a very abnor-mal Southern man.
I migrated north to WI for love, big snow and very very cold weather, well ok it was a woman. From here it looks like old man winter has fi nally showed up unlike down south. There is a whole new world that awak-ens when it gets cold and snows. Rivers and lakes all freeze up and Ice fi sh-ing is one of the biggest winter past times.
As a fi shing fool my-self it is very tempting to give it a try, all though walking out in the Missis-sippi river, where you just had your boat a few weeks earlier, is still a task that I haven’t quit overcome . Now imagine a 2ft fi shing pole, 24 inches of string, a 5 gal bucket and some-thing to cut a hole in the frozen water, like a big hand held drill, and thus the notorious ice hole is born.
If you’re a veteran ice fi sherman you might have a plastic shanty ( fi shing shack thing ) to keep the freezing cold wind from sending you into the fi rst stage of rigamortis. Are we having fun yet?
Now comes your ice hole and if you’re one of the regulars ,two ice holes , one for fi shing and one for beer, very important here in Wisconsin. Now getting the picture? You got a hole drilled in the ice, yes the very ice that’s keeping you from a very cold swim ( if you’re a
guy, very cold water and the male species don’t mix).
Ok, you got your bucket your pole and your ice hole or two and the perfect spot. Look around… everybody and their ice hole is there too. A Bar-B Q grill and an ice hole, chase lounge and an ice hole, look…someone just backed his car up over an ice hole just a few feet away. What are these people thinking? It’s like they all are hunker-ing down together to stay warm ,da…. . Should have just stayed home and watched the big bass hole fi shing show on TV, I would enjoy the beer a lot better from my couch command post, then fi ght-ing the elements on a fro-zen lake full of ice holes .
When you get a bunch of ice holes together any-where it can only lead to problems. I guess why I really haven’t tried it is because I fi sh with lures so I would have to cut me a long strip right up to my ice hole, that just don’t seem right to me. When you do snag one there’s no fi ght it’s like they just give it up in order to get out of that freezing water. I agree with them I think I would rather die than fall in a frozen river BRRR….
There is so much more to do in the winter months here, maybe I’ll take up snowmobiling it’s the closest thing to motor cycle riding (which is an-other one of my passions) that you can do in 6 feet of snow with a temp. of 20 degrees on a good day and a wind chill of mi-nus BRRR… and that my friends is a whole other story. So I guess the moral to my story is stay away from ice holes it just could be the beginning to THE END.

It’s so funny to sometimes hear yourself giving “sound advice” to your children. A while back as I was talking with my daughter about getting her car-pets cleaned, it reminded me of a time a friend and I had a great idea of how to get rid of the stains on her kitchen carpet, as well as change the color without any expense!
On a Saturday afternoon one summer, I was visit-ing a very good friend while our husbands were at work. Both of us had small children, at the time. We were discussing her need of new kitchen carpet and lo and behold we came up with the perfect plan that would not only give her the new color of carpet she wanted, but her husband would be happy since he would not have to spend any additional money on the carpet.
“OK, there is no way this can fail” I stated as we were deciding on a new color for her carpet. “All we have to do is buy a few gallons of bleach and a couple of boxes of dye. Once we bleach the carpet out we can then add the dye and Presto, you have new carpet! Sounded like a great idea to us and we knew it would work because we have changed our hair many times!
We rushed to the store and purchased the items we needed along with some good gloves. Once the bleach and water was mixed, 2/3 bleach & 1/3 water, we were on our hands and knees pouring bleach water all over the carpet and really scrubbing it in.
About 5 minutes is all it took for us to be gasp-ing for some fresh air. We left the kitchen to take a breather and realized it wasn’t just the kitchen, but it was the whole house! At that time, we grabbed the children to get them out of the house. Yes, it was that bad!
Her husband was less than thrilled to have to tear up the ruined carpet and purchase a new one, but her kitchen looked great after it was completed!
The moral of the story….If your wife would like new carpet, just go ahead and get it, you may save her life!

What was I Thinking???
In the last few years I have turned a complete 180 degrees. Before that turn, I had an offi ce to run. Anyone who owns their own business knows that was more than a 40 hour a week commitment. After work, I’d return home still needing to cook dinner, do laundry, and keep up with the house. A woman’s work is never done! Of course when everything was completed it was al-ready time to shower and go to bed so I could start it all over the next morning. Oh, I’m not complaining, I enjoyed it most of the time… until one day…..
In May of 2009, our fi rst grandchild was born. It was like a switch being turned on, and I was won-dering what in the world I’d been doing. I didn’t want to work weekends or evenings anymore. I wanted to spend all the time I could with that little girl. Time and family are so important, and I wasn’t going to miss it any lon-ger.
When we leave this life, we aren’t going to be remembered for the car we had or what home we purchased. People aren’t going to talk about the clothes we wore or the jewelry we fl aunted. We will, however, be re-membered for the time we spent with our family and friends- and for the way
we make people feel. I re-alized that all the impor-tant things in life aren’t “things.”
This is the main rea-son I am so excited to be a part of this new paper. I want you to look forward to opening this paper ev-ery week and reading it from front to back. I want to focus on the great fami-lies of our community and all the accomplishments, not the down falls.
My goal is to have a paper we can be proud of and to provide something in it for everyone! Please take this an invitation to send items or call to let us known of the simple things in your life. We would love to hear them.

Bits from Bucklinby Doris Noah
A dream come trueThis story really be-
gins in 2007 in the state of New Hampshire. Three members of Sarah Elliott Ramsay and Caleb E. Ginsberg’s family were diagnosed with advance stage cancer. This natu-rally meant a frightening time of testing for the family. From that occa-sion until today so many things have happened.
Sarah and Caleb could not help medically so they vowed to help others in a positive way as best they could. They have put their energy and talent to work by providing hope and comfort via “ dreams re-alized”. They named their organization MOTIVAT-ING MILES, INC and set about gathering funds to make dreams come true for the terminally ill.
The following is an ex-ample of the result of their Motivating Miles Inc. group efforts: Meet Dave West a one time resident of Hart, Missouri. Dave now lives in Milton, New Hampshire with wife, Nancy. He has dealt with back surgery, renal cancer and a serious heart sur-gery requiring a double by pass. At this time Dave is fi ghting another serious battle; chemotherapy and radiation treatments for advanced stages of cancer in the lung and brain.
It was Dave West’s de-sire, his dream, to travel to Missouri to visit his par-ents grave site for one last time. The only other wish he mentioned was not one which can be granted through any organization, he wished to spend more time with Nancy ,his wife of 45 years.
This is where Motivat-ing Miles enters Dave’s life. The group arranged for Dave and Nancy West to fl y from New Hamp-shire to Kansas City, Mis-souri on January 27, 2012. A driver, provided by Mo-tivating Miles was wait-ing at KCI to pick them up and deliver them safely to the home of Dave’s uncle and aunt, Ivan and Eileen Winfrey, in Hart. (Hart is a tiny spot up north and east of Bucklin near the Santa Fe railroad track).
Ivan and Eileen wel-comed the West couple and saw they were well cared for. Saturday morn-ing Dave did get to visit the grave site of his par-ents, E. Ross and Ona West, in the old Bucklin Cemetery just north of the Masonic Cemetery.
Kelly King-Collins from Brookfi eld Kelly’s Printing and Petals was at the cemetery with lovely fl oral arrangements for Dave to leave beside their headstone in honor of his parents. Photog-
rapher Darcy Lane from Memory Lane Photogra-phy, Brookfi eld, Mo. was on hand to take pictures. Bucklin Mayor Don Noah and Commander Leighton Reid from the American Legion Post #57 were available to help as need-ed .
Alyson Sayre from the Brookfi eld Chamber of Commerce proved to be a valuable co ordinator as plans were made to get the couple from New Hamp-shire to Bucklin and back.
Don’t you love happy endings? Well, almost every one does and here is one. As this article was being written Caleb Gins-berg called to say he had just spoken with Nancy West on the phone. She told him the Motivating Miles planning had been superb. It did not cost the West family a pen-ney. Every thing was ar-ranged by the group and then everyone they met in Missouri was as helpful as could be. She thanked the Motivating Miles for in every way possible mak-ing Dave West’s dream come true.
Home destroyed by fi re On Saturday afternoon,
January 28, 2012 the rural home of the Brooks and Mary Koble family was consumed by fi re. The Koble family lived at the farm they had purchased formerly owned by the late Ed Banks and Flo Banks up on Apollo Road. Gratefully no one was hurt however the parents and their seven young chil-dren were left with only the clothes on their backs.
Welcome homeLarry and Carole Kinn-
ison are back home. Wel-come home folks. They spent a couple of months in Texas. Their daughter ,Trisha, and her husband, Ward, live near where Larry and Carole stayed which made it even more pleasant to escape the Missouri winter.
Accidents increaseElsie McNeil fell on
ice covered steps at her home a couple of weeks ago. Elsie suffered a bro-ken ankle as a result of that fall. She spent some time in Columbia getting the ankle set and is home again.
Bob Walters was on a ladder when it slipped and as a result Bob suffered a broken left wrist. He has undergone surgery to pin the wrist and is recuperat-ing at home.
Thursday morning, February 2, Mark Wil-liams fell from a ladder while he was at work in Walter’s Garage. Mark was taken by ambulance
to the Pershing Memorial Hospital in Brookfi eld.
Happy birthday CyCy Noah celebrated his
10th birthday with an en-tire day of activities. Cy played Y basketball at the Marshall YMCA in the morning. Grandparents, Hank and Pat Noah, from Bucklin and Aunt Tara Noah, Chillicothe joined Cy’s family; Craig, Julie, Hank, Tucker and Cooper Noah and attended Cy’s game.
After the basketball game Cy was given his choice of places to have dinner. He claimed you could not beat the cheese-burgers at the bowling al-ley so the group enjoyed burgers for his birthday dinner at the Marshall Bowling Alley. They spent the rest of the after-noon bowling.
Cy turned 10 on Jan. 26, but did not celebrate this occasion until the fol-lowing Saturday.
Company and partiesMarj King, Joan Main
and Colleen McCollum were among the 18 mem-bers attending a Red Hat Ladies luncheon at Tall Paul’s in late January.

Odds ‘N EndsDid you ever have an
amaryllis with six huge blooms? This year the bulb was taken from our basement as usual the fi rst of January. That bulb sprouted in just a matter of days and unbelievable leaves started to grow. From the fi rst of January till the fi rst day of Febru-ary it transformed from a brown bulb to a three foot tall plant with six huge brilliant orange blossoms.
There has been an ama-ryllis on our kitchen win-dow sill every winter for years but never any to compare with this one.

Bucklin Christian Church
usually has a music program on the 5th Sun-day night unless it is a holiday week-end. This January 29th was local talent. It was much like the program that used to follow the fellowship sup-per on the fi rst Monday night of the month. The fellowship meal is now after morning worship (usually monthly) but the program is no longer held. So January 29th was sort of a “blast from the past.” Leroy Miller took sugges-tions ahead of time and announced the program. Pastor Tim Mitchell, had the opening prayer. Heath and Eden St.Dennis, Bucklin, played piano du-ets and solo. Frances Jen-kins and Marilyn Dow-ell, Bucklin, sang a duet accompanied by Johnna Bixenman, Macon. Genny Wright, rural Marceline, sang two numbers.

Please allow me to quote one of the most familiar scriptures in the Word of God.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Understand we are saved because of the Love of God. God gave his only Son, not one of his Sons but his only. He gave the greatest of all pearls, the best heaven had to offer the lamb without blemish. The love of God was and is a Gift to the world. Love overcomes selfi shness and self centeredness.
In John 3: 16 the word “whosoever” is used spe-cifi cally, so we can see our unmerited opportunity for salvation. This is a perfect example of the grace of God. It is not God’s Will that we should perish.
II Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should per-ish, but that all should come to repentance. God will go to every length for us, because it is God’s desire for us to be saved,
This includes God being long suffering and patient towards us. You are included in God’s plan of salva-tion. Whosoever will let him come and drink freely the water of life. We were never told to clean up fi rst God is offering us everlasting life The price for this is already paid by Jesus Christ’s blood on the cross. All that is needed for us to do is to come. The greatest of all promises is found in John 6:37. That scripture states, He that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” All that is left is that we come to him.

Beliefs are challenged
left and right. Steer
clear of the debate,
Capricorn, unless
you’re prepared to
stake a claim and back
it up. A deadline is
extended.
Adventure beckons.
Don’t back down,
Aquarius. A change
in venue poses new
challenges. Creative
solutions are at hand.
A new do inspires a
new wardrobe.
Look out world! Here
Pisces comes. There
is nothing you can’t
accomplish this week.
Take advantage of
every opportunity to
add to your repertoire.
Whoa, Aries. Don’t
you have enough on
your plate? Do you
really think you can
take on another task
and complete it to
satisfaction?
Time to shift gears,
Taurus. What works
for you doesn’t work
for another and you
must look for an
alternative solution. It
isn’t far from hand.
The call to volunteer
is strong. Break out
of your shell, Gemini,
and go for it. A road
of activities will entail,
and your light will
shine brighter and
brighter at each turn.
Your skill set sharpens
with some sorely
needed training. Your
finances perk up with
some tweaking of the
budget. Way to go,
Cancer!
A young friend urges
you to go green.
Before you dismiss
the idea, Leo, consider
the impact it will have
on your bottom line.
A few pennies saved
now will make for a
big surplus later.
Forget it, Virgo. You
went to that well one
too many times. A
trusted friend stomps
into territory they
shouldn’t—let them
know gingerly.
Give a little, Libra,
and that noose around
your neck will loosen
significantly. The
drama plays out at
home, and you have
that special someone
to thank.
Rats, Scorpio. Your
idea pans. Not to
worry. You’ll have a
better one next time.
The race begins to
complete a home
improvement project.
The torture comes to
an end, as a major
project wraps up.
Take everyone out to
celebrate, Sagittarius.
A change in guard
gives you reason to be
hopeful.

SPRING-LIKE DAY!Macon County Sheriff’s Offi ce 2011 Annual Report
The mission of the Macon County Sheriff’s Offi ce is to protect, serve and assist citizens when conditions arise which affect the well-being of the individual or the community. We provide a knowledgeable staff that has a professional commitment to law enforcement, is focused and dedicated to the citizens and communities and uses imagination, innovation and resourcefulness. We strive to provide the highest level of professional law enforce-ment service possible to the citizens of Macon County by maximizing the current resources available to the Sher-iff’s Offi ce. Our mission would be impossible to accom-plish without a cooperative effort with our citizens.
The purposes of this annual report is explain to the citizens the operations of my offi ce, provide crime statis-tics and explain the efforts on our part to serve the public. Preparing this annual report is just one way of bettering the communication between the public and my offi ce. I hope the information presented here answers questions and gives insight into our operations. All of the depart-ment functions are explained in this report. As you will see, our department provides a variety of services.
Patrol DivisionThe patrol division is supervised by Chief Deputy
Thomas Skinner. There are 8 deputies assigned to cover the county 24 hours a day. In 2011, the Macon Coun-ty Sheriff’s Offi ce responded to 1492 calls for service which is an increase of 17% over 2010. In 2011, our offi ce implemented a case management system which resulted in the arrest of 21 suspects for burglary which is a 200% percent increase over 2010; 57 suspects for stealing which represents a 63% increase over 2010; and 79 suspects for drug violations which is an increase of 33% over 2010. Overall total arrests increased 5.6% over 2010. In 2011, the Macon County Sheriff’s Offi ce recov-ered $29,735 worth of stolen property that was returned to the rightful owners.
Jail DivisionThe Sheriff is required by law to operate a county jail.
Our facility has 28 inmate beds which is an all-male fa-cility. The Jail Division is supervised by Chief Jailer Da-vid Moore. There are four full time jailers, which ensure the security of the inmates and monitor the day to day activity, including preparing three meals a day. Pursuant to Missouri Statue 221.070 and 221.122 the county jail charges offenders $35.00 a day for their incarceration. In 2011, the Macon County Jail processed 877 new ar-restees, had an average daily count of 13, and prepared approximately 14,235 inmate meals at an average cost of only $1.33 per meal or $4.00 per day.
Civil, Transportation & Court SecurityThe Sheriff is assigned by law to serve civil processes
and execute court orders. Fees paid for this service are collected into the “civil fund”. As Sheriff, I implemented a vehicle purchasing program whereby all vehicles are purchased from the civil fund at no cost to taxpayers. In an effort to save further money we purchase used – low mileage cars, which have a better fuel economy and a lower purchase price. In 2011, the Macon County Sheriff’s Offi ce served approximately 2,126 court docu-ments, which is a 4% increase over 2010.
CCW PermitsThe Sheriff is assigned by law the task of screening
applications and issuing Concealed Carry Certifi cate of Qualifi cation to persons requesting applications for a CCW Certifi cate of Qualifi cation. In 2011, the Macon County Sheriff’s Offi ce issued 153 CCW permits. There are currently 448 active CCW permit holders in Macon County.

Life in the Country
“The snowfl akes were so big that they seem to be sus-pended high in the air mak-ing an ever so gently rocking motion back and forth as they fell to the earth. It seemed, if I listened real close, I could hear a thud as the bigger snowfl akes plowed into the already fallen snow on the ground.”
by Carrie Chiarottino
The snow we received last Friday could be considered the fi rst real snow of winter. A light winter mix started about 3 p.m. in Bevier and the sur-rounding areas. As the evening hours passed by I thought that the majority of the winter weather may miss us. Turns out I was wrong. On my way to my dad’s house the snow started falling faster. The snow that fell that night was like no other I had ever seen before. The snowfl akes were so big that they seem to be suspended high in the air making an ever so gently rock-ing motion back and forth as they fell to the earth. It seemed, if I lis-tened real close, I could hear a thud as the bigger snowfl akes plowed into the already fallen snow on the ground. I knew that I couldn’t see such a majestic sight with-out telling other family member in the house to come out and join me. We all stood outside for a mo-ment admiring Mother Nature’s work in the glow of the pole light. Her can-vas no longer had any color, but instead was shapes of cars, trucks, tractors, and farm equipment covered by a thick looking white blanket. I told my chil-dren that I had never seen snowfl akes that big before, others agreed with me they hadn’t either. There was no visible animal movement; even the farm cat was nowhere to be found and he is al-ways looking for an easy meal whenev-
er the front door opens. It seemed for a moment, that everyone and everything appreciated the beautiful scenery that we seen unfold before our eyes. After our visit, it was time to make the trip home. Heading down the driveway I could defi antly tell the snow was heavy with moisture and all I could think was, this is the perfect snow for a snowman. The gravel road was a little slushy, but I had no trouble navigating the curves
and hills. I made it to the black-top and soon found my full and com-plete atten-tion was needed. A car was in the ditch by the old Rock Tav-ern and the h i g h w a y was very s l u g g i s h and full
of slush that hours ago I had admired falling to the ground. With some keen driving skills that I have acquired over the years, those of which my husband still does not fully appreciate, we made it home. Driving down the gravel road that takes me home, my children and I was looking at the snow that was cling-ing to the tree branches. On the smaller trees and bushes the snow almost made them look like they were in full bloom with some sort of fl owers. Sometimes it’s the small things that I appreciate. That’s Life in the Country.

Top Things to Do When You’re Itching to Garden but It’s Too Early to Plant Seeds
Vickie Jordan, Magic City Master Gardener
1. Install a cold frame. A cold frame is essentially a miniature greenhouse, and it allows you to plant a little earlier because you can protect the seedlings during cold snaps. Purchase a kit or make a simple cold frame by setting straw bales in a square and placing old windows over the top. On a sunny day, the temperatures inside the cold frame can rise quickly, and on very cold nights, cover the cold frame with a blanket.
2. Add a trellis. Whether it’s covered with climbing roses, morning glories, or even gourds, a plant-covered trellis is eye-catching.
3. Embrace garden crafts. Build a bird feeder, blue-bird house, or bat house. Paint some terra cotta pots to complement your house color. A wooden chair with a broken cane seat can be converted into a unique planter by securing a container where the seat was. 4. Sharpen tools. I know, B-O-R-I-N-G, but you’ll be glad you did.
5 Prune trees and shrubs. Fruit trees and summer-fl owering shrubs are best pruned in late winter, after the coldest weather has passed but before the buds break. Consult a pruning guide for details.
6. Pull winter weeds. It’s never too early to start weeding perennial gardens. Just avoid walking on wet garden soil — stay on the paths. If possible, apply a thin layer of bark mulch when you’re through.
7. Organize your tool shed and donate extra supplies to a youth gardening program. If you received new tools or supplies over the holidays, set the old ones aside for donating. of them?
8. Buy a tree identifi cation book and learn to recog-nize trees by their bark and twigs. Not only does it make winter walks more interesting, it also helps hone your botany skills.
9. Make a list of plants with winter interest to add to your landscape this year. Plants with berries, such as holly, winterberry, and viburnum, are not only colorful, they’ll also attract birds.
