    On the road in Surf City

    By Chris MacDonald, Writer/Photographer,HB Ambassador/The Local News Columnist

    The Local News

    Arbor DayCelebrates thePresent and

    Future

    Arbor Day was celebrated in Hunt-

    ington Beach on March 7th with aplanting of trees and a two mile

    hike around Lake Huntington, on the hills,by horse corrals and through the Urban For-est. Celebrations occur in every state (someat different times) to show hope for thefuture and explain what an important parttrees play in our lives and communities.

    The trees we plant clean the air, beautifyour neighborhoods, provide homes forwildlife, conserve energy and topsoil as wellas help keep the atmosphere in balance,said John Rosenow, President of the Na-tional Arbor Day Foundation. Arbor Dayis an opportunity for children and others totake positive action and make their world abetter place. Its really something to plant atree and watch it grow!

    The idea for Arbor Day started in 1872

    when Nebraskan J. Sterling Morton wrote aresolution, which was approved by the StateBoard of Agriculture. Morton and hisfriends helped turn a mostly treeless stateinto a beautiful tree paradise.

    Among those carrying on Mortonspassion is The Huntington Beach TreeSociety, led by its tireless president, formerPeace Corps volunteer Jean Nagy, ShirleyKnopf, Ann Anderson, John Tillotson,Leslie Gilson, Nancy Harris, JuanaMueller, Chris MacDonald and others.They are responsible for planting thou-sands of trees to beautify Surf City. Thislargely anonymous group raises funds,purchases trees and plants them, then caresfor them, often with the help of Boy Scouts

    and City Public Works. They have plantedtrees on Main Street, in Central Park, onMeadowlark Golf Course, along EdwardsStreet and all over. The trees not onlybeautify the area but help clean the air andeven assist migratory Monarch butterfliescoming to Gibbs Butterfly Park.

    Our parks wouldnt be the same withoutthem, said Huntington Beach PlanningCommissioner and Chamber of CommerceChairman Patrick Brenden, who hikedwith over 40 others, including his wife,Antoinette, during the Arbor Day event (acombination of education and exercise).Brenden worked with Boy Scouts inhelping the Tree Society develop variousprojects within the Urban Forest.

    Jean Nagy and her devoted friends,

    working with the city, helped create the

    Urban Forest, located on a hill off Ellisbetween Edwards and Goldenwest. Like thePied Piper, Nagy led the band of merrywanderers, who ranged from 8 to 80, fromnear Central Parks Kathy Mays LakeviewCaf (where the group all shared in shovel-ing dirt onto a London Planetree, which willgrow 80 feet tall and 60 feet wide), aroundLake Huntington, up Edwards Hill,alongside horses and horse corrals, to thebeautiful Urban Forest that developed froma barren area into a beautiful tree andvegetation forest over 14 years, thanks tothe dedicated effort of the Tree Society, Cityand others. (On most Saturdays, theirvolunteers are working and you arewelcome to come and join in the fun ofcaring for the Urban Forest, from which you

    can see marvelous views of mountains,

    lakes, horses and even neighboring cities,such as Long Beach. Its open 24/7.)

    On the 2 -acres, youll see the city tree,the Western Redbud, Senna, which attractthe cloudless sulfur butterfly, and numerousother types of trees and vegetation. Everyplant here is native to Southern California,Nagy said. Post and Rail Fence, madepossible by donations, is starting tosurround the forest. Outside, Eagle ScoutMichael Pollack, a senior at HuntingtonBeach High School, showed where heplanted buckwheat and black walnut. (OtherEagle Scouts have helped create this forest

    paradise.) Annies Rock Garden is takingshape below the forest, above a creek thatmeanders through the hills.

    I thought this hill was just horse trails,said Martha Gomez, hiking it for the firsttime. Now I know different. Its one of themost beautiful places in Huntington Beach.

    Sierra Killey, 8, and her mom, Debbie,loved the Arbor Day hike and Sierraenergetically handed out water to theadventurers. We like to be involved in thecommunity and being in the Tree Society isa fun way to make a difference and giveback, Debbie said. To make a donation orfind out more about the society, go towww.HBTREES.org or phone 562-760-0733. It really is a fantastic way to helpprovide hope for the present and future!

    REALITY NEWS

    The Shoe Bomberand the Judge...

    *Remember the guy who got on a plane with abomb built into his shoe and tried to light it?**Did you know his trial is over?**Did you know he was sentenced?**Did you see/hear any of the judge's comments on

    TV or Radio?* *Didn't think so.!!!* *Everyoneshould hear what the judge had to say.*

    *Ruling by Judge William Young, US DistrictCourt.*

    Prior to sentencing, the Judge asked the defendantif he had anything to say His response: After admit-

    ting his guilt to the court for the record, Reid also ad-mitted his 'allegiance to Osama bin Laden, to Islam,and to the religion of Allah,' defiantly stating, 'I thinkI will not apologize for my actions,' and told the court'I am at war with your country.

    Judge Young then delivered the statement quotedbelow:

    Judge Young: 'Mr. Richard C. Reid, hearken nowto the sentence the Court imposes upon you.

    On counts 1, 5 and 6 the Court sentences you to lifein prison in the custody of the United States AttorneyGeneral. On counts 2, 3, 4 and 7, the Court sentencesyou to 20 years in prison on each count, the sentenceon each count to run consecutively. (That's 80 years.)

    On count 8 the Court sentences you to the manda-tory 30 years again, to be served consecutively to the80 years just imposed. The Court imposes upon youfor each of the eight counts a fine of $250,000 that'san aggregate fine of $2 million. The Court acceptsthe government's recommendation with respect torestitution and orders restitution in the amount of$298.17 to Andre Bousquet and $5,784 to AmericanAirlines.

    The Court imposes upon you an $800 special as-sessment. The Court imposes upon you five years su-

    pervised release simply because the law requires it.But the life sentences are real life sentences so I needgo no further.

    This is the sentence that is provided for by ourstatutes. It is a fair and just sentence. It is a righteoussentence.

    Now, let me explain this to you. We are not afraidof you or any of your terrorist co-conspirators, Mr.

    Reid. We are Americans. We have been through thefire before. There is too much war talk here and I saythat to everyone with the utmost respect. Here in thiscourt, we deal with individuals as individuals and carefor individuals as individuals. As human beings, wereach out for justice.

    You are not an enemy combatant. You are a terror-ist. You are not a soldier in any war. You are a terror-ist. To give you that reference, to call you a soldier,gives you far too much stature. Whether the officersof government do it or your attorney does it, or if youthink you are a soldier, you are not-----, you are a ter-rorist. And we do not negotiate with terrorists. Wedo not meet with terrorists. We do not sign documentswith terrorists. We hunt them down one by one and

    bring them to justice.

    So war talk is way out of line in this court You area big fellow. But you are not that big. You're no war-

    rior. I've known warriors. You are a terrorist. Aspecies of criminal that is guilty of multiple attemptedmurders. In a very real sense, State Trooper Santiagohad it right when you first were taken off that planeand into custody and you wondered where the pressand the TV crews were, and he said: 'You're no bigdeal.

    You are no big deal.What your able counsel and what the equally able

    United States attorneys have grappled with and whatI have as honestly as I know how tried to grapple with,

    is why you did something so horrific. What was itthat led you here to this courtroom today?

    I have listened respectfully to what you have to say.And I ask you to search your heart and ask yourselfwhat sort of unfathomable hate led you to do what youare guilty and admit you are guilty of doing? And, Ihave an answer for you. It may not satisfy you, butas I search this entire record, it comes as close to un-derstanding as I know.

    It seems to me you hate the one thing that to us ismost precious. You hate our freedom. Our individualfreedom. Our individual freedom to live as wechoose, to come and go as we choose, to believe ornot believe as we individually choose. Here, in thissociety, the very wind carries freedom. It carries iteverywhere from sea to shining sea. It is because we

    prize individual freedom so much that you are here inthis beautiful courtroom, so that everyone can see,truly see, that justice is administered fairly, individu-ally, and discretely. It is for freedom's sake that yourlawyers are striving so vigorously on your behalf,have filed appeals, will go on in their representationof you before other judges.

    We Americans are all about freedom. Because weall know that the way we treat you, Mr. Reid, is themeasure of our own liberties. Make no mistakethough. It is yet true that we will bear any burden;

    pay any price, to preserve our freedoms. Look aroundthis courtroom. Mark it well. The world is not goingto long remember what you or I say here. The dayafter tomorrow, it will be forgotten, but this, however,will long endure.

    Here in this courtroom and courtrooms all across

    America , the American people will gather to see thatjustice, individual justice, justice, not war, individualjustice is in fact being done. The very President of theUnited States through his officers will have to comeinto courtrooms and lay out evidence on which spe-cific matters can be judged and juries of citizens willgather to sit and judge that evidence democratically,to mold and shape and refine our sense of justice.

    See that flag, Mr. Reid? That's the flag of the UnitedStates of America . That flag will fly there long afterthis is all forgotten. That flag stands for freedom. Andit always will.

    Mr. Custody Officer. Stand him down.*So, how much of this Judge's comments did we

    hear on our TV sets? We need more judges like JudgeYoung. Pass this around. Everyone should and needs

    to hear what this fine judge had to say. Powerfulwords that strike home.*

    Domestic Airlines ExpectingHigher Passenger Counts

    Astronger economy mean the travel

    business is looking forward to itsstrongest year since the 2008 crisis.

    Kevin McSpadden at Time is flying highwith this forecast for morepassengers...perhaps more..."The springtravel season could see U.S. airlines posttheir highest passenger numbers in sevenyears, bolstered by rising employment andpersonal incomes, says industry group Air-lines for America.

    Some 134.8 million passengers orabout 2.2 million people per day are

    projected to fly in March andApril, ac-cording to a press release.

    If accurate, that would mean the mostairline travelers since numbers peaked in

    2007 right before the financial crisis.

    The 2015 projections are a 2% boostfrom the 132.2 million people who flew onU.S. airlines during the same period last

    year.John Heimlich, Airlines for America vicepresident and chief economist, said highconsumer sentiment and the continuedaf-fordability of air travel may contribute toa busy travel season ahead.

    Of course, its not just the cost of theflight thats getting cheaper. The dollarssurge on the foreign exchange marketsupsome 25% in trade-weighted terms since

    the middle of last yearmeans that those travelingabroad will find that theirmoney goes a lot furtheronce they get there. (On theflip side, it means that theU.S. is becoming more ex-pensive for foreign visitors,which is bad news for thedomestic tourist industry.)

    According to data from theOffice of Travel and TourismIndustry, the number of in-ternational departures byU.S. citizens already rose10% last year to a record68.3 million, with departures

    to other North American markets rising14% and those to overseas markets rising6%."

    This article is published in partnership

    with Time.com.

    Daniel Norris drives a 1978 Volkswagen camper to

    Dunedin each year.Sherri Lonon (Patch Staff) says..."Toronto Blue Jayspitcher Daniel Norris is anything but pretentious.

    While his Major League Baseball counterparts rollinto Florida each year in flashy sports cars and trucks,Norris travels his own path in a 1978 Volkswagen vanthat also serves as his spring training home, accordingto CBS News.

    Despite his $2 million signing bonus, the left-handerfrom Tennessee prefers to keep his head out of theclouds by living in the van during training. That van,CBS reports, is kept parked behind a local Walmartsomewhere near the teams Dunedin spring traininghome."

    Let's see if the lefty can find some bargain games thisyear and give the Blue James more wins...check out isle5 for sporting goods...

    FORMER ORANGE COUNTY SUPERVISOR JOHN MOORLACH

    WINS SENATE SEAT...BY THE SLIGHTEST OF MARGIN...

    BUT A WIN IS A WIN!

    Another page in OC politics...Paige Austin (Patch Staff)reports..."Former Orange County Supervisor JohnMoorlach won todays special election in the 37th

    Senate District, drawing slightly more than half the vote toavoid a runoff.

    Moorlach had 50.4 percent of the vote, with all 248 precinctscounted, according to figures released by the Orange CountyRegistrar of Voters.

    Assemblyman Don Wagner, R-Tustin, was second with 44.1percent and Naz Namazi, an aide to Rep. Dana Rohrabacher,R-Huntington Beach, third at 3.5 percent.

    All three candidates on the ballot were Republicans.Democrat Louise Stewardson, a registered nurse and small

    business owner, was a certified write-in candidate, receiving 2percent of the vote.

    The special election was necessitated by the election of MimiWalters to Congress.

    The district includes Costa Mesa, Irvine, Lake Forest,Laguna Beach, Laguna Woods, Newport Beach, Tustin andVilla Park as well as portions of Anaheim Hills, HuntingtonBeach and most of Orange.

    Moorlach, who once unsuccessfully tried to persuade hiscolleagues on the Orange County Board of Supervisors tochange its term limits so he could run for a third term, told City

    News Service he decided to run for the Senate seat because somany of his well-wishers asked him to do it.

    Wagner was endorsed by Walters."Congrats to John...this 6 year office has a two term limit...

    so it would appear John has along career ahead of himrepresenting our community.

    Father time is undefeated, and by all accountswill remain so forever. The calendar catchesup to all of us, regardless of what we do in ana t -

    tempt to forestall the inevitable.An athletes career ends sooner than it

    does for those of us in other professions.The average length of an NFL career is lit-tle more than three years. Thats why itsurprised many observers when five NFL

    players in their prime retired over thecourse of a two week period in earlyMarch.

    The reasons for the retirements variedbut San Francisco 49ers rookie linebackerChris Borland tied his retirement directlyto concern for potential concussions andhead injuries. In making the announce-ment the 24-year old Borland said, "I'mconcerned that if you wait till you havesymptoms, it's too late. ... I just want tolive a long, healthy life, and I don't wantto have any neurological diseases or die younger than I would otherwise."

    Bravo to Borland. At least hes walking away from the sport with - apparently his health. The same cant be said for thousands of former NFL players who are ashell of their former selves, unable to walk, talk or function normally after decades

    playing Americas most popular and most violent sport.For every Chris Borland, there are countless Wes Welkers. By his own admission,

    Welker has suffered an estimated dozen concussions over the course of his career.Many more may have gone undiagnosed as Welker adheres to the old time stereotypethat as long as a player can remain upright, he should continue playing for his team-mates. But repeated concussions are known to lead to early and permanent brain

    damage.Should Welker want examples, he need only look at former teammate Junior Seau

    who took his own life two years after retiring from the NFL. Seau was diagnosedwith chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a type of chronic brain damage. Like Seau,legions of former

    players are suf-fering - andmany others aredoomed to suf-fer from CTE.

    Welker is currently a free agent in searchof his fifth team. Common sense says heshould retire and hope he can function longenough to enjoy the millions he has earnedserving as a human pinball in the NFL. Formany players like Welker, thats easier saidthan done. Fans have an obsession withfootball. We revel in its violence eventhough we know from research, lawsuits andobservation the toll it takes on the human

    body. Most players have a similar obsessionwith the sport. They have an irresistible urgeto play the game they love, one that compen-sates them far better than anything they can

    do beyond football.For both Borland and Welker, the end of their football career is inevitable. The

    only unknown is the quality of life that follows.

    Orange County's economy thrives, in part, because of a reli-able source of water. The Orange County Water District(OCWD) is charged with managing and protecting the

    county's groundwater basin to ensure long-term pro-

    duction of clean water from our local sources at the

    lowest possible costs.

    The groundwater basin is being threatened. In-

    dustrial contamination has seeped into the ground-

    water basin and has necessitated shutting down

    five wells, four of which are in the North Basin

    near the cities of Fullerton, Anaheim and Placentia

    and 1 well in South Basin in the city of Santa Ana.

    The contamination is from improper release of chemical solvents and other com-

    pounds from as far back as the 1950s and 1960s. The improper chemical releases

    have stopped but now that the pollution is in the ground, it can and is spreading.

    Please be assured that ongoing testing by OCWD and the closure of wells, when

    needed, ensures that only clean water is delivered to homes and businesses in Orange

    County. But, we need a fully-functioning groundwater basin, especially as we enter

    our fourth year of drought.

    The local groundwater basin has already been overdrafted and is about 20% full.

    The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) is likely to only al-locate about 85 to 90 percent of normal imported water needs this year. Imported

    water costs three times more than groundwater. And, if this drought continues, im-

    ported water may be even less reliable. Even though the pollution is located in an-

    other part of the basin, it still impacts Huntington Beach. If responsible parties dont

    clean it up, ratepayers will.

    OCWD had been pursuing cleanup options for years, working with some Poten-

    tially Responsible Parties (PRPs) to achieve settlements, while litigating against other

    PRPs, some of whom refuse to acknowledge their liability. The District wants to en-

    sure that ratepayers are not saddled, inappropriately, with cleanup costs.

    Last year, OCWD reached an agreement with the Orange County Business Council

    and state legislators to follow a federally-recognized process called the National Con-

    tingency Plan (NCP). The NCP is a framework used in states across the country for

    bringing together stakeholders, businesses, regulators and elected leaders to clean

    up contamination and pollution. It includes significant community involvement.

    Compliance with NCP provides a clear road that identifies various cleanup options

    that are reviewed and scrutinized by the public, regulators and PRPs.

    As part of the preliminary NCP process, the

    District has been meeting with the appropriate fed-

    eral and state agencies, including the California Re-

    gional Water Quality Control Board, the California

    Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) and U.S. Environmental Protection

    Agency (EPA). The NCP process determines the appropriate agency to lead future

    investigations, remediation plans and cost recovery.

    The OCWD board voted to negotiate with EPA to assume lead responsibility for

    the NCP process in the North Basin area. It believes working with EPA will ensure

    that the appropriate expertise is being utilized to secure the best solution for a problem

    that poses significant multiple risks to Huntington Beach and the greater Orange

    County community.

    The EPA and OCWD will offer up a remedial plan and have it reviewed by com-

    munity stakeholders, in-

    cluding the Potentially

    Responsible Parties. If the

    PRPs refuse to do the rec-

    ommended cleanup work,

    then the EPA will initiate

    the cleanup efforts and will

    be forced to spend its ownmoney and place the site

    on the National Priority

    List (NPL). NPL listing in

    a community rests on the

    shoulders of Potentially

    Responsible Parties who

    do not comply with the

    community-vetted remedy.

    In the next several

    months, the District will be conducting community meetings and public workshops.

    OCWD will continue to keep you informed of its progress and encourages you to be

    engaged in the process.

    Lets Clean It Up!

    Cathy Green was elected to OCWD in November 2010. She served two termson the Huntington Beach City Council and was Mayor twice. Huntington Beachhas been home to the Green Family over 41 years

    'Breakfast Club 'Two...

    Or NOT

    Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy

    gathered for the 30th anniversaryscreening of the John Hughes clas-

    sic The Breakfast Club at South by Southweston Monday in Austin, Texas. ET sat downwith the two stars who shared their fondestmemories working on the teen classic over 30years ago.

    Ringwald, a frequent collaborator of writer-director Hughes throughout the 1980s, said hesent her the script for The Breakfast Club asthey were finishing Sixteen Candles (1984)and she just couldn't resist thestory.

    "It was the best script I everread," Ringwald told ET. "Iloved it. I loved everythingabout it--every character. Iknew immediately I wanted to

    be involved."While she was eager to join

    the project, Ringwald revealedthat many elements of the initialscreenplay had changed by thetime they shot the film.

    "By John's own admission hewas not a great re-writer," thenow 47-year-old actress ex-plained. "He was known forwriting things very fast and fu-rious and in two days and very often thosewere the best drafts."

    Among the changes to the script was theiconic group dance sequence in the library,which was originally written as a solo numberbut Ringwald begged John Hughes not tomake her do it alone. "You were the only

    good dancer," she told Sheedy on stage duringthe Q&A. "So he very kindly brought every-one in."

    Ringwald also revealed to ET that Hughesreceived pressure from the studio to make thefilm more interesting to teenagers since mostof the action takes place in one location andrarely featured anything but the five kids indetention talking. To break up the talk fest,Hughes had initially planned a nude scenethat was eventually cut from the final screen-play.

    "Even though John was doing somethingreally different there was still that obligatoryhold over for the kind of 'naked woman'scene," Ringwald recalled. "I think afterBreakfast Club when that stuff wasn't there

    they finally realized that that wasn't really

    necessary."Despite the lack of irreverent and risqu

    material, the 1985 film is now considered aclassic and applauded for its authentic take onadolescence in the '80s.

    "It transcends generations," Ringwald saidof the film's lasting power. She later added,"It still speaks to a lot different people becausethe essential message is we are all outsidersnot matter who we are and we all feel alone."

    While the The Breakfast Club is timeless

    and it's message is universal, both Ringwaldand Sheedy agreed that Hollywood should notattempt to remake the '80s classic, as has beena frequent trend in the film industry the last10 years.

    "They should do something that is inspiredin some way because when I look back on

    The Breakfast Club I think it speaks to somany different people but at the same time it'sincredibly white," the actress admitted. "Ithink if there was ever another movie that wasinspired by I think it really needs to incorpo-rate racial diversity." She added, "Not justracial but all kinds of diversity."

    Watch more of our interview with Mollyand Ally to see how well they remember someof the film's iconic lines.

    The Breakfast Club 30th anniversary edi-tion is now available on Blu-ray and is alsoheading to select theaters nationwide for twonights only-- on March 26 and 31."

    To be or not to be...in this case...we hope Bea Karnes' (Patch Staff) story falls short of re-ality..."The rate of magnitude-6.7 earthquakes expected to hit California in coming yearswas reduced in a new forecast released today by the U.S. Geological Survey, however,

    the likelihood of a magnitude-8 or larger temblor striking in the next 30 years jumped from4.7 percent to 7 percent.

    The new likelihoods are due to the inclusion of possible multi-fault ruptures, where earth-

    quakes are no longer confined to separate, individual faults, but can occasionally rupture mul-tiple faults simultaneously, according to USGSscientist Ned Field. This is a significant ad-vancement in terms of representing a broaderrange of earthquakes throughout Californiascomplex fault system.

    In 2008, the USGS estimated that quakes ofabout magnitude-6.7 -- the size of the 1994Northridge quake -- were expected to hit thestate once every 4.8 years. The latest report es-timates one such quake every 6.3 years.

    The 2008 report found that the likelihoodof a magnitude-8 or larger quake hitting inthe next 30 years was 4.7 percent. The newreport puts the likelihood at 7 percent.

    We are fortunate that seismic activity in California has been rela-tively low over the past century, according to Tom Jordan, director of the Southern CaliforniaEarthquake Center. But we know that tectonic forces are continually tightening the springs

    of the San Andreas fault system, making big quakes inevitable.

    TomatopaediaHere are a few of the terms youll encounter as you

    grow Americas favorite vegetable.

    HYBRIDA tomato variety bred to combine the desirable quali-

    ties (color, taste, disease resistance, etc.) found in the par-ents. Early Girl, Better Boy and Sungold, the worldsfavorite tomato, are a few examples. As it is not yet sta-bilized, seed saved from a hybrid is not guaranteed toproduce the same tomato if planted out in future seasons.Hybrids often suffer from the cardboard-tasting tomatoin January reality or reputation but when a) grown inyour home garden, b) grown correctly and c) pickedwhen its ultimately ripe, most will provide thrillingtomato taste.

    HEIRLOOMWhile there are several different kinds of heirloom

    classifications the quality common to all heirloom vari-eties is that they are open-pollinated. Properly saved seedfrom these plants will produce the same tomato in futureseasons. Though some are modern, others have been around for hundreds of years and havetruly been handed down from generation to generation. (Mortgage Lifter Opalka, Black Krim,Giant Syrian)

    DETERMINATE (D OR DET)This tomato class produces fruit on the top or end of the main stem. When that happens

    upward growth ceases, so as a result his class tends to be smaller, tidier and sometimes wontneed staking. Dont pinch aggressively, as the side branching will be productive. More fruiton a determinate plant will be ripe at the same time, making it practical for making saucesand other kitchen use.

    INDETERMINATE (I OR IND)

    Generally larger and rangier than determinates, the indeterminate tomato plant will notflower on the terminal or main stem so that stem continues to grow. The plant fruits on sidebranching that grows off the main stem, providing steady production all through your growingseason.

    DAYS OR DAYS TO MATURITYThe approximate number of days from planting to harvest. This assumes youre planting a

    six week old seedling, which is more or less what will be offered at planting time in the spring.While certainly not an absolute, the days will help you develop your own strategy for early,midseason and late summer harvesting.

    AMENDMENT

    Organic matter added to your garden area that increases bulk, nutritional value and thesoils drainage potential. Often purchased in bags at your local nursery, your homemade com-post is also a perfect amendment. Tomatoes will enjoy soil that is rich with organic matter, asmost plants do. Amend your vegetable garden all year long!

    MULCHAny material or materials added to or laid on the top of the soil around your plants to further

    insulate, protect and aid in weed control. Hay, plastic sheeting, bark chips and yesterdaysnewspaper can all be used as mulch.

    FERTILIZERFood for your plants. Granular, liquid or pelleted, fertilizers provide the main nutrients

    needed for growth, vigor and fruit production: Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium(K). Those are the three numbers on the front of the fertilizer bags you just purchased! Fortomatoes look for a more balanced formulation. The numbers should be in the same range.Fertilizer showing 30-0-0 is lawn food!

    TOMATOES!

    One glass of Cabernet Sauvignonwas described as "powerful andheavy." Another was described as

    "subtle and refined." The only differ-ence? The music that was playing whilepeople drank the wine.

    A few years ago, Adrian North, a psy-chology professor at Heriot-Watt Univer-sity in Scotland, tested the impact ofmusic on taste perception by pouringwine for 250 students. Some tasted thewine while listening to music identifiedby others as "powerful and heavy," while

    others listened to music that was "subtleand refined," "zingy and refreshing," or"mellow and soft." Other students drankwithout any music. After enjoying theirwine for five minutes, the students wereasked to rate how much the wine tastedlike the musical descriptions.

    The conclusion, as put simply in theBritish Journal of Psychology? "Back-ground music influences the taste ofwine."

    When North's study came out,

    oenophiles were infuriated. Here was yet

    another academic calling wine apprecia-tion into question.

    Rest easy, wine lovers. Perception is

    easily fooled.Widespread derision of wine criticism

    began in 2001 when Frdric Brochet, aUniversity of Bordeaux psychologist,poured one glass of red wine and oneglass of white wine for 54 oenology stu-dents -- and then asked them to describeeach wine in detail. Students describedeach wine with the laundry list of de-scriptors one would expect for reds andwhites. What Brochet didn't tell the stu-dents? Both wines were the same. The

    white in one glass was simply dyed red.

    Ever since, the media has jumped atany opportunity to call baloney onoenophilia. But psychologists have long

    known that humans are easilytricked, especially when relying ontaste buds.

    Consider a 2012 study from Cor-nell University's Food and BrandLab. By giving an extreme makeoverto a Hardee's, researchers discoveredthat people will eat less but enjoytheir food more when at a fine-din-ing establishment instead of a fast-food joint. A 2006 study led by John

    Bohannon, a biologist and sciencejournalist at Harvard University,found that most people can't distin-guish pt from dog food.

    Does this mean that Michelin-starred restaurants should replace

    pt with Purina Puppy Chow and startserving Hardee's Patty Meltdowns? Ofcourse not.

    Expectations matter. Heck, confirma-tion bias dictates that expensive winestaste, well, expensive. And food, likewine, is unpredictable. But please hold

    the PuppyChow; I'drather eat pt.And if I'mdropping seri-ous coin on

    dinner, I hopeit's preparedby a Miche-l in - s t a r re dchef and not aHardee's line cook. I'm confident in mypalate, but I'm also confident enough toadmit that sometimes, I'm wrong.

    Plenty of people have dedicated theirlives to wine -- producing it, serving it,studying it, selling it. Plenty more simplyenjoy wine and have opinions on whatthey drink. Sure, some people are partic-ularly gifted tasters. But wine apprecia-tion is a subjective pursuit for everyonewho imbibes. And just as it's perfectlyvalid for a moviegoer to proclaim herpreference for Batman over Birdman, it's

    perfectly valid for a wine enthusiast toproclaim his preference for a light-bodiedSyrah from St. Joseph in France over aweighty Shiraz from Coonawarra in Aus-tralia.

    Misleading a wine connoisseur by fill-ing an empty bo
