SERVING THE OHIO VALLEY SINCE 1852 

Potential Buyer Looking At Waverly Plant 

BY FRANK LEWIS 

PDT STAFF WRITER 

At least one company is showing 

a serious interest in the properties 

of two plants set to close in 

Pike County. 

Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland was 

at a meeting Wednesday in 

Waverly with several government 

agencies, workforce professionals, 

and elected officials, conducted 

by the Director of the Ohio 

Department of Development, 

Lisa Patt-McDaniel. 

The meeting was the second in 

the last month concerning the 

closing of two Mill’s Pride cabinetry 

factories, owned by Masco.

36 Counts of 

Child Abuse 

Filed Against 

Couple 

BY FRANK LEWIS 


A Scioto County couple faces 

a combined total of 36 charges, 

several involving a child said to 

have received multiple injuries 

over a period of time. 

Jennifer Carver, 24, and 

Derek Hossman 29, are each 

charged with six counts of felonious 

assault, a felony of the 

second degree; six counts of 

child endangering, a felony of 

the second degree, and six 

counts of endangering children, 

a felony of the third degree. 

Capt. David Hall said the two 

list several addresses, including 

Martin Cemetery Road in 

Lucasville. 

Carver was arrested earlier, 

Hossman hours later at a different 

location. 

“They are charged with abusing 

a little 10-month-old child,” 

Scioto County Sheriff’s Detective 

Paul Blaine said. “The 10month-old 

child suffered several 

broken bones. Some are fresh 

injuries. Some injuries were 

being healed at the time.” 

Blaine said the sheriff’s office 

learned of the possibility of the 

child being injured in October 

2008. 

“It has been an ongoing investigation,” 

Blaine said. “Actually, 

the case was submitted to the 

(Scioto County) Grand Jury, 

through the (Scioto County) 

Prosecutor’s Office back in 

Kirby ‘Searched The World Over’ For 1920s Glass 

BY G. SAM PIATT 


William “Pop” would have 

been so very proud of his granddaughter, 

Elisa Kirby-Valli. 

Pop Kirby started Kirby’s Flowers 

& Gifts shop on the corner of 

Gallia and Findlay streets in 

Portsmouth in 1924. In the early 

1930s he had the exterior walls of 

the building covered with squares 

of burgundy and tan Vitrolite, a 

decorative glass touted as the 

“architectural darling” of the 

1920s and ‘30s. 

Storefronts and theaters sported 

Vitrolite, either Vitrolite or Carrara, 

which was the same product 

only made by a different company. 

Some home interiors of the wellto-do

a buyer to come in there, continue 

to operate and provide the jobs 

and benefit the community,” 

Strickland said. “When I first 

talked to the CEO not too many 

weeks ago, quite frankly, the 

impression that I got, was that 

they thought the possibility of a 

new owner coming in and continuing 

the operation was remote. I 

think they, and certainly I, have 

been pleased and surprised to 

learn there have been a number of 

contacts. And as I am sure all of 

you know, at least one on-site 

visit. We have been in communication 

with that entity, I believe, 

earlier this morning. So there is 

that possibility. I don’t want to 

hold out any false hope, but I 

ucts, too. The colored opaque 

glass was versatile and lighter and 

considered a more durable alternative 

to marble. 

Eighty-six years later, Kirby’s, 

owned and operated by Kirby- 

Valli and her cousin, John Kirby 

Jr., is still going strong. 

However, in 2008, water got in 

behind the squares of the exterior 

glass and it began to push out from 

the walls. Kirby-Valli, fearing it 

might fall on some pedestrian’s 

head, had to have it all removed. 

Then her problem was what to 

have the exterior walls of the 

building covered with. Her decision 

from the beginning was, if at 

all possible, to replace the exterior 

decoration with the same Vitrolite

Strickland said the state 

is doing everything it can 

to stay on top of the situation. 

“Whatever incentives 

that we may be able to provide 

that would make it 

more likely for a buyer to 

come, we will do,” Strickland 

said. “And we want 

you to know that, even 

now, we are talking to at

Strickland said the 

Masco Waverly facility 

contains 2.5 million square 

feet of space. A Jackson 

facility owned by the same 

company, and still in operation 

is located on 1 million 

square feet of space. 

“We are putting together 

the request of one buyer, 

and we do not know who it 

is. You can ask me, but I’m 

being honest, I do not 

know. There are other buyers 

looking at the company,” 

Patt-McDaniel said.

Patt-McDaniel said that 

since the last meeting, the 

committees have been 

formed. Those committees 

were to meet Wednesday 

afternoon. 

After the meeting, 

Strickland was asked what 

incentives the state can 

offer potential buyers. 

“It depends on what a 

potential buyer may be 

interested in,” Strickland 

said. “For example, we 

have some outright grant 

programs, where financial 

resources are provided 

directly. We have what’s 

called Job Retention tax 

credits, in which we provide 

the companies that 

may be having a difficult 

time, in order to get them 

to maintain the jobs. Then 

we have another tax credit 

program called the Job 

Creation tax credit program. 

And that’s for companies 

that are going to be 

adding jobs, or creating 

new jobs.” 

Strickland then commented 

about the actual 

discussion with the potential 

buyer for the Pike

Decorative glass of the 1920s being 

restored again on America’s Main Street 

By G. SAM PIATT 

PDT Staff Writer 

Tim Dunn has established 

a lucrative business, 

Vitrolite Specialist, by buying, 

selling and restoring 

pigmented structural glass 

known by the trade names 

under which it was sold — 

Vitrolite, Carrara Glass, 

Sani Onyx. 

The basement of his 

workshop in St. Louis carries 

about 6 tons of the colored 

opaque glass, which 

was popular on the exteriors 

of many early 20th-century 

buildings. 

It was in particular vogue 

during the 1920s through 

Abuse 


(20)09. But there was a 

lot of work that had to be 

done, like special records 

from the hospitals needed 

to be obtained, subpoe- 

Masco 

the 1940s as a facing for 

storefronts of bakeries, 

drugstores and jewelry 

shops. Some new movie 

palaces would cover their 

entire facades with Vitrolite. 

Dunn, a tile-setter by 

trade, came upon Vitrolite 

in 1985. By 1997, he had 

decided to limit his business 

to Vitrolite work 

entirely, advertising on his 

website: www.vitrolitespecialist.com. 

One of his first big jobs 

involved restoration of the 

Gem Theater in Kansas 

City, Mo., and then the Ritz 

Theater in Talladega, Ala. 

His material hasn’t been 

nas needed to be issued 

to get charges filed. 

There has been a lot of 

investigation on it to get 

our proof, so we can 

indict.” 

Blaine said that 

because the cases were 

under grand jury indict- 

manufactured since 1947, so 

a big part of his job involves 

finding it and rescuing it. He 

might be off one day to Tennessee 

and the next day to 

Iowa, grabbing the glass 

before it’s shattered and 

winds up in a landfill. 

At its peak, Vitrolite was 

available in 40 colors. He 

has it organized by color in 

his shop. 

He travels far and wide, 

too, in his restoration work. 

When he left Portsmouth 

Wednesday, after taking 

eight days to install pigmented 

glass on the exterior 

of Kirby’s Flowers, he 

and his associate, Hank 

Falkenberg, left for 

ments, the two were 

being held in the Scioto 

County Jail without 

bond. 

Blaine said both will be 

arraigned on the 18 

counts each, and a trial 

date will be set. 

Blaine said the child 

Louisville to install glass 

on a storefront there. 

“We dropped a trailerload 

of it — 60 panels — 

off there on our way to 

Portsmouth,” Dunn said. 

“When we finish that job, 

it’s off to New Orleans for 

another, and after that we 

travel to Wisconsin. We 

travel about five months of 

the year now to meet the 

demand.” 

Vitrolite and Carrara are 

in demand again and, as 

Dunn pointed out, “on 

America’s Main Street.”

The Times asked Strickland 

about workforce 

training and retraining 

facilities available to any 

displaced employees. 

“I think we’ve got quite 

frankly the best training 

facilities that you could 

find anywhere, with our 

community colleges, 

Shawnee State (University), 

as well as all the other 

institutions that we have,” 

Strickland said. “So I think 

we can provide any company 

the kind of highly 

skilled workforce that they 

would need, regardless of 

what those needs may be. 

Everything from the highest 

technical training in 

terms of computer and IT 

skills to the manual skills 

that may be needed.” 

Strickland talked about 

the way he sees the attitudes 

of the people in the 

Pike, Scioto, Jackson, and 

Adams County areas. 

“We’re tough people in 

southern Ohio. We don’t 

give up easily. We don’t 

give out easily. And we’ll 

never give in.”

or Carrara her grandfather 

had installed. 

The problem was the 

manufacture of Vitrolite 

and Carrara ceased more 

than half a century ago. It 

was made during the 

decades of 1907 to 1937 

by Libby-Owen-Ford 

(Vitrolite) and by Pittsburgh 

Glass (Carrara). 

“I searched the world 

over. I made thousands of 

phone calls. I was determined 

to put the exterior 

back the way my grandfather 

had it,” Kirby-Valli 

said. “It was a challenge, 

but I didn’t give up. Finally, 

by the grace of God, I 

discovered this man in 

Missouri.” 

Tim Dunn, whose shop 

is in St. Louis, is a Vitrolite 

specialist. He salvages 

it from structures being 

demolished, anyway he 

can get his hands on a 

cache or a few pieces of 

Vitrolite or Carrara. He 

has six tons of it on hand 

at his business. 

He and Kirby-Valli 

talked about her situation 

at the flower shop back 

and forth by e-mail. He 

sent her small pieces of 

the glass until he was sure 

he had the right colors 

and enough of it to do the 

job. He had the burgundy

salvaged from a storefront 

in College Station, Texas. 

On May 4 he and his 

associate, Hank Falkenberg, 

parked their vanload 

of glass, along with 

their tools and glues, on 

Findlay Street and began 

the job of restoration. On 

Wednesday they finished 

it. The “art glass” is up 

and Kirby’s exterior has 

the same glow it had back 

their in the ‘20s when Pop 

Kirby had it installed. 

“They worked all 

through our busy Mother’s 

Day here. I’m very 

pleased with it, the colors 

and all,” Kirby-Valli said. 

Owners of other stores 

in Portsmouth, Dunn said, 

especially in the Boneyfiddle 

area, came by to 

watch the work being 

done and questioned him 

about prices and availability. 

“We put six panels out 

front and about 20 panels 

on the side here,” 

Dunn said. “Isn’t it 

beautiful? This material 

hasn’t been made in 

America since 1947. I’m 

glad Elisa found us. 

We’ll polish it up, and 

then we’re off to our 

next job, which is a 

storefront in Louisville.”

GUEST COMMENTARY 

Singing the praises 

of Lena Horne 

Amy 

Goodman 

Syndicated 

Columnist 

Lena 

Horne died 

this week at 

the age of 

92. More 

than just a 

brilliant 

singer and 

actress, she 

was a pioneering 

civil-rights 

activist, 

breaking 

racial barri- 

ers for generations of African- 

Americans who have followed 

her. She fought segregation 

and McCarthyism, was 

blacklisted, yet persisted to 

gain worldwide fame and success. 

Her grandmother signed 

her up as the youngest member 

of the NAACP as a 14month-old. 

Hers is the story of the 20th 

century, of the slow march to 

racial equality, and of remarkable 

perseverance. 

Horne’s career began in 

Harlem’s renowned Cotton 

Club, where African- 

Americans performed for an 

exclusively white audience. 

She joined several orchestras, 

including one of the first integrated 

bands, and then landed 

the first meaningful, longterm 

contract for an African- 

American actor with a major 

Hollywood film studio, 

MGM. Her contract included 

provisions that she would not 

be cast in the stereotypical 

role of a maid. She was never 

given full acting roles, 

though, only stand-alone 

singing scenes. “I looked 

good and I stood up against a 

wall and sang and sang. But I 

had no relationship with anybody 

else,” she told The New 

York Times in 1957. 

“Mississippi wanted its 

movies without me. It was an 

accepted fact that any scene I 

did was going to be cut when 

the movie played the South.” 

During the World War II 

years, she toured with the 

USO, entertaining troops. At 

Camp Joseph T. Robinson in 

Arkansas, she learned she 

would be performing to a segregated 

whites-only audience. 

Afterward, she gave an 

impromptu performance to 

the African-American troops 

and was again angered when 

German POWs imprisoned at 

the base were allowed to 

crowd into the mess hall. She 

insisted they be thrown out. 

Horne, in a 1966 Pacifica 

Radio interview, recalled a 

watershed moment in 

Cincinnati. She was touring 

with a band, and on the night 

of the boxing match between 

Joe Louis and Max 

Schmeling of Nazi Germany, 

Horne, who didn’t care for 

boxing, found herself backstage 

with the band members, 

around the radio, rooting for 

Louis: “I said, ‘He’s mine.’ 

And, I didn’t want him to be 

beaten. ‘He’s ours.’ I think 

that’s the first I remember 

ever identifying with another 

Negro in that way before. I 

was identifying with the symbol 

that we had, of a powerful 

man, an impregnable fortress. 

And I didn’t realize that we 

drew strength from these 

symbols.” 

Paul Robeson, the great 

African-American singer and 

activist, had a profound influence 

on Lena Horne. In the 

Pacifica Radio interview, she 

recalled, “Paul taught me 

about being proud because I 

was Negro ... he sat down for 

hours, and he told me about 

Negro people. ... And he didn’t 

talk to me as a symbol of 

a pretty Negro chick singing 

in a club. He talked to me 

about my heritage. And that’s 

why I always loved him.” The 

association with Robeson, a 

proud, outspoken activist, 

contributed to Horne’s blacklisting 

during the McCarthy 

era.

Lena Horne, “Stormy 

Weather,” told me: “Lena 

Horne was a very brave 

woman and is not given credit 

for the activism that she did in 

the 1940s, at a time when a 

lot of the black performers 

that she knew were simply 

accepting the conditions of 

the day as the way things 

were and were afraid of rocking 

the boat and losing their 

jobs. And Lena never hesitated 

to speak her mind.” Gavin 

described Horne’s appearance 

at the 1963 March on 

Washington, where she took 

the microphone and 

unleashed one word, 

“Freedom!” She appeared 

with the great civil-rights 

leader Medgar Evers at an 

NAACP rally, just days before 

he was assassinated. She 

worked with Eleanor 

Roosevelt on anti-lynching 

legislation, and also supported 

SNCC, the Student 

Nonviolent Coordinating 

Committee, and the National 

Council of Negro Women (led 

by Dorothy Height, another 

civil-rights leader, who died 

last month at the age of 98). 

Horne’s biographer Gavin 

says she was filled with 

anguish for not doing enough. 

But Halle Berry thinks otherwise. 

When Berry became the 

first African-American 

woman to win the Academy 

Award for Best Actress in 

2001, she sobbed as she held 

up her Oscar in her acceptance 

speech: “This moment is 

so much bigger than me. This 

moment is for Dorothy 

Dandridge, Lena Horne, 

Diahann Carroll. ... And it’s 

for every nameless, faceless 

woman of color that now has 

a chance because this door 

tonight has been opened.”

At Monday night’s 

Portsmouth City Council 

meeting, President of 

Council David Malone 

mentioned in passing the 

possibility of re-locating 

the Portsmouth Municipal

Dutch boy sole 

known survivor in 

Libyan jet crash 

TRIPOLI, Libya — A 

Libyan plane carrying 104 

people crashed Wednesday 

on approach to Tripoli’s airport, 

leaving a field scattered 

with smoldering 

debris that included a large 

chunk of the tail painted 

with the airline’s brightly 

colored logo. A 10-year-old 

Dutch boy was the only 

known survivor. 

The Dutch prime minister 

said everyone on the 

Afriqiyah Airways Airbus 

A330-200 arriving from 

Johannesburg, South 

Africa, was killed except 

the child, whose survival 

was hailed as a miracle. 

The boy was taken to a 

hospital in Tripoli and was 

undergoing surgery for 

injuries including broken 

bones. Libyan TV showed 

video of the dark-haired 

child lying in a hospital bed 

with a bandaged head and 

wearing an oxygen mask. 

He had intravenous lines in 

one arm and appeared to be 

conscious. 

The Royal Dutch 

Tourism Board said 61 of 

the dead came from the 

Netherlands, including 

many holidaymakers who 

had been on package tours 

to South Africa. 

Dutch flags were lowered 

and campaigning for the 

June 9 parliamentary elections 

was suspended in 

respect for the dead. Hundreds 

of people phoned 

emergency numbers to ask 

about family and friends 

while authorities at other 

destination airports set up 

crisis centers. 

“We are sad and sore at 

the thought of the more than 

one hundred passengers and 

crew who lost their lives,” 

the Anglican Archbishop of 

Cape Town, Thabo Makgoba, 

said in a statement. “We 

thank God for the sole survivor. 

In his survival, we see 

that even in this dark cloud 

of death, there is this ray of 

hope.” 

The crash left a large field 

scattered with small and 

large pieces of plane debris 

and dozens of police and 

rescue workers with surgical 

masks and gloves, some 

of them carrying at least 

one body away. They gathered 

small personal items 

such as wallets and cell 

phones from the wreckage. 

Others sifted through 

debris — some of it still 

smoldering — including a 

flight recorder and green 

seats with television screens 

on them. A large piece of 

the plane’s tail was visible, 

bearing Afriqiyah’s brightly 

colored logo with the numbers 

“9.9.99,” a reference to 

the date of the founding of 

the African Union. 

The plane was carrying 

93 passengers and 11 crew, 

Afriqiyah Airways said in a 

statement.

pressing problem — the 

ballooning deficit. 

The Conservative and 

Liberal Democrat leaders 

stood in Downing Street's 

sun-dappled garden and 

promised that their partnership 

was united by common 

purpose and will survive for 

a full five-year term. They 

pledged sweeping reform to 

Parliament, civil liberties 

laws and on ties to Europe, 

and a renewed focus on the 

conflict in Afghanistan. 

The Foreign Office said

William Hague would visit 

Washington Friday for talks 

sure to focus on the Afghan 

war.

Trade deficit increases to $40.4 billion in March 

By MARTIN 

CRUTSINGER 

AP Economics Writer 

WASHINGTON — The 

U.S. trade deficit rose to a 

15-month high as rising 

oil prices pushed crude oil 

imports to the highest 

level since the fall of 

2008, offsetting another 

strong gain in exports. 

The larger deficit is evidence 

of a rebounding 

U.S. economy. 

Analysts expect this 

year’s deficit to be up significantly 

from 2009, 

when it hit an eight-year 

low. But U.S. exports 

should keep growing, providing 

a major source of 

strength from American 

manufacturers, and will 

only be marginally affected 

by the European debt 

crisis. 

The Commerce Department 

reported Wednesday 

that the trade deficit rose 

2.5 percent to $40.4 billion 

in March compared to 

the February imbalance. It 

was the largest monthly 

trade deficit since December 

2008. 

Exports of goods and 

services were up 3.2 per- 

World Briefs 

cent to $147.87 billion, 

the highest level since 

October 2008. Imports 

were up 3.1 percent to 

$188.3 billion. 

U.S. manufacturers, the 

standout performers so far 

in this recovery, will continue 

to get a boost from 

rising demand for their 

products, economists predicted. 

Their sales are 

being helped by a rebound 

in the global economy and 

declines in the value of 

the dollar against other 

major currencies. 

The dollar has strengthened 

this year against the 

euro, the common currency 

of 16 European countries. 

That is largely the 

result of the debt crisis in 

Greece that could spread 

to other European countries, 

such as Spain and 

Portugal. The dollar is 

now about 15 percent 

stronger against the euro 

than it was in December. 

Economists said this 

will dampen U.S. export 

sales to Europe and also 

increase demand for European 

products, such as 

cars. 

But the changes had not 

been significant enough to 

derail their expectations 

for steady gains in exports 

this year. That should continue 

as long as the debt 

crisis doesn’t worsen and 

threaten to derail Europe’s 

recovery. 

“Greece is a small economy. 

The big countries, 

Germany and France, are 

still doing okay,” said 

David Wyss, chief economist 

at Standard & Poor’s 

in New York. 

Wyss said export 

growth would add to the 

overall economy this year, 

providing a key boost to 

American manufacturers. 

But Wyss and other economists 

said that outlook 

could prove too optimistic 

if the debt crisis in Europe 

intensifies. 

Greece, which uses the 

euro, accounts for only 

0.2 percent of U.S. 

exports. But the 16 European 

nations that use the 

euro account for 15 percent 

of U.S. exports. 

So far this year, the U.S. 

deficit is running at an 

annual rate of $467.2 billion, 

23.4 percent higher 

than last year’s imbalance 

of $378.6 billion.

7 children killed in 

latest attack at 

China school 

BEIJING — An attacker 

hacked seven children and 

one teacher to death 

Wednesday and wounded 

20 other people in a rampage 

at a kindergarten in 

northwest China, the latest 

in a string of savage assaults 

at the country’s schools. 

The slayings occurred 

despite a countrywide boost 

in security at schools, with 

gates and security cameras 

ordered installed and additional 

police and guards 

posted at entrances. 

The attack happened at 8 

a.m. (0000 GMT) at a 

kindergarten in Nanzheng 

county of Hanzhong city, 

the official Xinhua News 

Agency said. It did not give 

the ages of the victims or 

say who attacked them. 

Liu Xiaoming, deputy 

director of the propaganda 

department of Hanzhong 

city, confirmed that seven 

children and one teacher 

were killed and that about 

20 others had been wounded. 

“The murderer killed 

himself afterward,” Liu told 

The Associated Press. 

appeared to please Wall 

Street. The Dow Jones 

industrial average was up 

about 130 points in afternoon 

trading. 

For March, the rise in 

exports reflected 

increased sales of American 

farm products, led by 

gains in sales of corn, 

dairy products and rice. 

Sales of heavy machinery 

from electrical generators 

to earth-moving equipment 

also posted big 

increases as did sales of 

semiconductors. 

The increase in imports 

was led by a 25.5 percent 

jump in crude oil shipments, 

which rose to 

$22.3 billion March, the 

highest level since October 

2008. That increase 

reflected higher volume 

and higher prices. The 

average price for a barrel 

of crude oil rose to 

$74.32, up from $72.92 in 

February. 

Prices have been falling 

since oil hit $87.15 a barrel 

in early May. The debt 

crisis in Europe has raised 

concerns about the durability 

of the global economic 

recovery. In trading 

Wednesday, oil dipped to 

near $76 a barrel. 

The deficit with China 

rose 2.4 percent to $16.9 

billion in March, the highest 

level since January and 

the largest trade gap with 

any country. The Obama 

administration is facing 

growing political pressure 

to impose trade sanctions 

on China if Beijing doesn’t 

allow its currency to 

rise in value against the 

dollar. 

Treasury Secretary Timothy 

Geithner raised 

hopes for a change in 

monetary policy when he 

stopped in Beijing last 

month to talk with Chinese 

economic officials on 

his way back from India. 

But Chinese President Hu 

Jintao, who discussed the 

issue with President 

Barack Obama during a 

trip to Washington last 

month, said China’s decision 

on the currency 

“won’t be advanced by 

any foreign pressure.” 

American manufacturing 

companies that compete 

against the Chinese 

are pressing for a tougher 

trade policy. They say 

America’s trade deficit 

with China has cost 2.4 

million manufacturing 

jobs at a time when the 

jobless rate in this country 

is 9.9 percent. They 

contend that Beijing’s 

currency manipulation 

and other unfair trade 

practices have made Chinese 

products cheaper in 

America at the expense of 

U.S.-made goods, while 

making American-made 

products more expensive 

in China. 

Geithner is expected to 

raise the currency issue 

when he and Secretary of 

State Hillary Clinton go to 

China for two days of 

high-level talks later this 

month. 

The deficit with the 

27-nation European 

Union rose to $7.1 billion 

in March, a jump of 

32.7 percent. Imports 

from Europe rose faster 

than U.S. exports to the 

EU. 

The deficit with Canada, 

America’s largest trading 

partner, fell by 15.8 

percent to $2.3 billion. 

The imbalance with Mexico 

rose 26.7 percent to $6 

billion as imports from 

Mexico hit an all-time 

high.

Investigators: Leak caused well device to fail 

By FREDERIC J. 

FROMMER and H. 

JOSEF HEBERT 

Associated Press Writers 

WASHINGTON — A 

key safety device known 

as the blowout preventer 

used in the BP oil rig in 

the Gulf had a hydraulic 

leak and other problems 

that likely prevented it 

from working as 

designed, congressional 

investigators said 

Wednesday. 

They also said BP PLC 

and other documents also 

indicated confusion over 

whether poor pipe 

integrity was allowing 

methane gas to leak into 

the well just hours before 

the explosion that killed 

11 workers and blew the 

well open. 

Rep. Henry Waxman, 

D-Calif., said that BP had 

informed his House committee 

that at some point 

when the well was being 

closed with cement an 

influx of methane entered 

the wellhead, indicating 

that cementing the well 

had not produced needed 

pipe integrity. 

Waxman, opening a 

hearing into the April 20 

well explosion that 

unleashed a massive oil 

spill, said while “we have 

far more questions than 

answers” it appeared 

clear — from BP and 

other documents — that 

there were problems with 

the blowout preventers 

before the accident and 

confusion almost right up 

to the time of the explosion 

over the success of 

the cementing process. 

The committee said 

that there were at least 

“four significant problems 

with the blowout 

preventer” used on the 

Deepwater Horizon drill 

rig. 

Rep. Bart Stupak, D- 

Mich., said that a 2001 

report by Transocean, 

which made the device, 

indicated there can be as 

many as 260 failure possibilities 

in the equipment. 

The device is supposed 

to be the final safeguard 

against a well 

blowout by clamping 

down and sealing a gushing 

oil well. 

“How can a device that 

has 260 failure modes be 

considered fail-safe?” 

asked Stupak. 

The House Energy and 

Commerce Committee 

was to hear from executives 

of BP, Transocean 

Ltd, Halliburton, which 

conducted the cementing 

on the BP rig, and 

Cameron Inc. 

Stupak said BP confirmed 

in documents that 

a leak had been found in 

the hydraulic system that 

provides emergency 

power to a part of the 

blowout preventer. 

Do you have a story idea? 

If you know of someone or something that 

would make a good story, 

please call the newsroom at (740) 353-3101, 

ext. 244, or e-mail 

pdtnews@portsmouth-dailytimes.com. 

When a remote underwater 

vehicle tried to activate 

the safety device a 

loss of hydraulic pressure 

was detected, said Stupak. 

When dye was injected “it 

showed a large leak coming 

from a loose fitting,” 

said Stupak, citing BP 

documents. 

He said Cameron officials 

had told the committee 

the leak was not 

believed to have been 

caused by the blowout 

because other fittings in 

the system were tight. 

Stupak said that BP 

also confirmed that the 

blowout preventer had 

been modified so that one 

of its ram drivers could 

be used for routine testing 

and was no longer 

designed to activate in an 

emergency. He said after 

the spill BP “spent a day 

trying to use this ... useless 

test ram.”

exploded and killed 11 

men in the Gulf of Mexico, 

worried environmental

MANILA, Philippines — 

Manny Pacquiao will return 

to the ring in November, 

that much is certain. Who 

the opponent will be is still 

very much undecided. 

The welterweight champion 

and newly elected congressman 

was planning his 

victory party in the Philippines 

after his rival conceded 

the race on Wednesday, 

while promoter Bob Arum 

and his advisers were ready 

to begin the tough task of 

negotiating a fight against 

Floyd Mayweather Jr. 

It has the potential to be 

the most lucrative fight in 

boxing history. 

“The people are request- 

ing that I fight Mayweather 

before I retire,” Pacquiao 

told The Associated Press. 

“If I ever fight again, I think 

I will give in to the request 

of the people.” 

Michael Koncz, Pacquiao’s 

chief adviser, said no 

opponent has been selected, 

but that Nov. 6 and Nov. 13 

have been set aside for the 

fight at the Cowboys Stadium 

in Arlington, Texas. The 

Cowboys are on the road 

Nov. 7 and Nov. 14. 

“There is no named 

opponent yet, but that is 

certainly when we will 

fight,” Koncz said. 

Pacquiao said the decision 

to return to the ring was 

up to his mother, Dionisia. 

“It’s OK now,” he said, 

“but just one fight.”

PRP hopes to start soon

The familiar sound of race 

engines that permeate the region 

each Saturday night in the summer 

were scheduled to return this 

weekend but last week's rain has 

pushed the opening night of the 

2010 Portsmouth Raceway Park 

season back to May 22. 

That date will mark the PRP 

Kickoff Classic sponsored by 

Assurance Realty Finance 

Group and when green flag 

drops, the 20th season at PRP 

will be underway.

LeBron, Cavs 

still confident 

By TOM WITHERS 

AP Sports Writer 

INDEPENDENCE — As a nation of critics 

dissected his rare poor playoff game, 

questioning his effort, digging for deeper 

clues about his future and wondering if he 

has what it takes to win an NBA championship, 

LeBron James worked on his jumper. 

As panic spread through the region, swallowing 

his nearby hometown of Akron and 

causing further damage to Cleveland’s badly 

damaged sports psyche, James exuded calm. 

There’s nothing he can do about Game 5. 

It’s history. 

Game 6 in Boston, however, is a chance 

for redemption and James believes Cavaliers 

fans should be confident. 

Why? 

“They got me,” he said. 

But which one? The league’s two-time 

MVP? Or the guy who made 1 of 11 shots 

from the outside, stood around passively on 

offense as the Celtics pulled away to take a 

3-2 series lead and then raised eyebrows 

See CAVS, B2 

Chuck Greenslate said. "That is 

still the goal at this time." 

At the end of each season the 

PRP staff must floodproof the 

facility by removing almost everything 

from the offices, concessions 

and bathrooms. At the start 

of each new year, the facilities are 

pressure washed, the bleachers are 

test for safety, debris is removed 

and on occasion fish are picked 

out of the fence. 

Greenslate was hopeful that 

Wednesday's rain would not 

affect the current schedule. 

On the PRP schedule this season 

there is at least one major 

change. Rather than having just 

one $10,000 to win Lucas Oil

Reds best Pirates 


PITTSBURGH — 

Homer Bailey became the 

latest Cincinnati starter to 

play a simple game of 

pitch-and-catch against the 

Pittsburgh Pirates. 

Bailey threw a four-hitter 

without walking anyone 

Wednesday, leading the 

Reds over Pittsburgh 5-0 

for a three-game sweep. 

Bailey followed Johnny 

Cueto’s one-hit gem at PNC 

Park on Tuesday. The Reds 

became the first team in the 

majors in nearly 10 years to 

pitch back-to-back, complete-game 

shutouts without 

a walk — Oakland’s Tim 

Hudson and Barry Zito did 

it on Sept. 9-10, 2000, 

against Tampa Bay, according 

to STATS LLC. 

“That’s my first complete 

game as a pro, and I 

didn’t even know how may 

pitches I had,” said Bailey, 

who struck out six. “All of 

a sudden I looked up and 

thought, ‘Oh, I’m in the 

ninth now. Cool.’” 

“(Catcher Ryan Hanigan) 

did an outstanding job 

behind the plate. We just 

kind of worked together the 

whole time,” Bailey said. “I 

just sit there and throw the 

damn thing to the glove. 

It’s that easy, right?” 

Bailey (1-2) needed only 

90 pitches — 73 for strikes 

— to close out the Reds’ 

fifth straight win. 

Pittsburgh accounted for 

only one run and 10 hits in 

the series. Just like Cueto, 

Bailey took advantage of the 

aggressive Pirates batters, 

not going to a single threeball 

count and throwing 

more than four pitches to a 

single batter just six times. 

Twenty-two of Bailey’s 

first 23 pitches were 

strikes. The longest at-bat 

of the game? Opposing 

pitcher Zach Duke drawing 

eight pitches before striking 

out in the third. 

Pittsburgh’s Garrett Jones, 

who had two of the four hits 

and the only extra-base hit 

Wednesday, gave credit to 

Cincinnati’s pitchers but said 

the Pirates made them out to 

look better than they are. 

“We’re just missing some 

pitches,” he said. “And getting 

pitches to hit and not 

doing anything with them. I 

feel like we just start giving 

at-bats away.” 

Joey Votto and Drew 

Stubbs homered and Brandon 

Phillips added two hits 

for the Reds, who outscored 

the Pirates 16-1 in the series. 

Bailey won for the first 

time this season and 

improved to 5-0 lifetime 

against the Pirates, including 

3-0 at PNC Park. A day 

earlier, Cueto threw 103 

pitches in his first career 

complete game. 

“That as well-pitched 

two days as I’ve seen 

pitched in a long time,” 

Reds manager Dusty Baker 

said. “That was epitome

INDIANAPOLIS — 

College basketball fans are 

still flocking to men’s 

games by the millions. 

They’re just not setting 

records. 

With 334 men’s teams 

playing 5,251 games last 

season, both all-time highs, 

more than 27 million people 

attended Division I 

games — the fourth-highest 

total ever but a slight 

decrease from 2008-09. 

Some of the numbers 

released by the NCAA on 

Wednesday looked familiar. 

The top five home drawing 

cards were Kentucky, 

Syracuse, Louisville, Tennessee 

and North Carolina. 

The Wildcats had an 

average attendance of 

24,111 at 18 home games 

in John Calipari’s first sea- 

place finish in the 1600 meter 

relay to tie Oak Hill at 74 overall 

points. The Lady Jeeps finished 

third in that race and second to the 

sprinter-heavy Lady Oaks. 

A pair of second places finishes 

put the Notre Dame Titans on their 

way to 44 team points and the 

SOC I boys team trophy, as South 

Webster made things interesting in 

the final two events to finish five 

points off the leading Titans. 

Both Wheelersburg teams

Cushing 

keeps AP 

rookie 

award 

By BARRY WILNER 

AP Football Writer 

NEW YORK — A positive 

drug test notwithstanding, 

Houston Texans 

linebacker Brian Cushing 

is still The Associated 

Press NFL Defensive 

Rookie of the Year. 

Five days after he was 

suspended without pay 

for four games, a nationwide 

panel of 50 sports 

writers and broadcasters 

who cover the NFL voted 

again to give Cushing the 

award. He didn’t receive 

anywhere near the 39 

votes of his previous 

landslide victory, but the 

18 he got in Wednesday’s 

revote were enough to 

reclaim the honor. 

“I was just glad to hear 

the news, that people 

stuck by me. Very honored,” 

Cushing said. “I’m 

very happy to have the 

award once again, and 

I’m just happy with how 

everything turned out.” 

Although Cushing said 

he took a non-steroid substance, 

the league still 

considers it a performance-enhancer. 

The AP decided to have 

a revote, in which Cushing 

finished five votes 

ahead of Buffalo safety 

Jairus Byrd. Green Bay 

linebacker Clay Matthews 

III got 12, Washington 

linebacker Brian Orakpo 

earned three votes, and St. 

Louis linebacker James 

Laurinaitis got one. 

Three voters abstained. 

In all, 19 voters switched 

from Cushing to another 

player, and one voted for 

Cushing after picking 

Byrd originally. 

“I’m good,” Byrd said, 

referring to the result. 

“Yeah, I’m fine with it. 

Attendance drops in 

college basketball 

son. Syracuse was next at 

22,152 in 19 home games. 

Either Kentucky or 

Syracuse has led the 

nation in home attendance 

for each of the past 34 seasons, 

but Kentucky has 

been No. 1 each of the past 

five seasons and 14 times 

in the last 15. Kentucky 

also led the nation in total 

attendance at home, road 

and neutral court games, 

playing 38 times in front 

of 724,145 fans. 

But even the Wildcats 

couldn’t offset the decline 

in other areas. 

Five conferences had 

more than 2 million fans 

attend games, including 

the Big East, which led the 

nation’s conferences in 

total attendance, and the 

Big Ten, which led the 

nation in average attendance 

for league games.

Phillies bullpen 

coach busted 

using binoculars 

By ARNIE STAPLETON 

AP Sports Writer 

DENVER — Binoculars 

in the bullpen? Major 

League Baseball isn’t 

happy, and has told the 

Philadelphia Phillies to 

knock it off. 

The Phillies insisted 

Wednesday they weren’t 

trying to steal signs when 

bullpen coach Mick 

Billmeyer was caught on 

camera peering through 

binoculars from the 

bullpen bench at Coors 

Field earlier this week. 

Manager Charlie 

Manuel told The Associated 

Press that Billmeyer 

simply was watching 

Philadelphia catcher Carlos 

Ruiz set up defensively 

Monday night. 

FSN Rocky Mountain, 

the flagship broadcaster 

of the Colorado Rockies, 

showed Billmeyer using 

the binoculars to peer in 

on Colorado catcher 

Miguel Olivo while the 

Phillies were at bat in the 

top of the second inning. 

It also showed a quick 

image of Phillies center 

fielder Shane Victorino 

in the dugout on the 

bullpen phone in the top 

of the second. 

“We were not trying to 

steal signs,” Manuel said. 

“Would we try to steal 

somebody’s signs? Yeah, 

if we can. But we don’t 

do that. We’re not going 

to let a guy stand up there 

in the bullpen with binoculars 

looking in. We’re 

smarter than that.” 

FOXSports.com first 

reported the reprimand 

from the league, which 

reviewed video of the 

matter Tuesday. 

While sign-stealing is 

something all teams try to 

do, using electronic 

equipment, enhanced 

devices and technology is 

not allowed in baseball. 

It’s not the first time 

accusations of cheating 

have been lobbed at the 

Phillies. The New York 

Mets accused the Phillies 

of stealing signs through 

a center-field camera in 

2007, and the Boston Red 

Sox leveled charges 

against them in 2008. 

During the World Series 

last year, former Phillies 

manager Larry Bowa said 

Philadelphia has a reputation 

for stealing signs. 

Bowa, now the Los 

Angeles Dodgers third 

base coach, told Philadelphia 

radio station ESPN 

950 there were rumors 

of the Phillies using a 

center field camera to 

swipe signs. 

“There’s rumors going 

around that when you 

play the Phillies, there’s a 

camera somewhere or 

bullpen people are giving 

signs,” Bowa said at the 

time. “And catchers are 

constantly changing 

signs. That’s the rumor. 

Now, is it proven? No.” 

The Rockies noticed 

Billmeyer using the binoculars 

from his perch in 

center field in the top of the 

first inning Monday night 

and asked FSN to zoom in 

on the visitor’s bullpen. 

Armed with evidence, 

Rockies manager Jim 

Tracy brought it to the 

attention of crew chief 

Jerry Crawford, who 

spoke with Manuel 

between the first and second 

innings of that game. 

“I didn’t know about it,” 

Manuel said Wednesday. 

“I told the umpire, ‘No, 

we don’t have anybody 

out there with binoculars.’ 

I come to find out that we 

did. He used them to 

watch Ruiz set up and his 

catching and things like 

that. At the same time, 

we’re not supposed to 

have them out there.” 

A Phillies spokesman 

said Billmeyer wasn’t 

available for comment 

prior to the game 

Wednesday. 

The video of Billmeyer 

showed him peering 

through the binoculars, 

then quickly pulling 

them down. 

Manuel said Billmeyer’s 

brazen use of the 

binoculars was itself proof 

that the Phillies weren’t 

trying to cheat. 

“We were definitely 

not getting signs that 

way,” Manuel said. “He 

was standing straight up 

looking right at home 

plate. He was right out in 

the open. It wasn’t like he 

was hiding or nothing.” 

The Rockies weren’t 

buying any of Manuel’s 

explanations. 

“As far as I’m concerned 

it’s out of line,” 

Tracy said. “It’s one thing 

to go out and play a club 

as tough as you can possibly 

play it within the 

framework of the way 

they’ve structured things 

to be done. ... Nobody 

says that you don’t explore 

something like that, but if 

you’re cheating and you 

get caught, then you know 

what? Then you’d better 

do something about it. 

That’s my reaction to that. 

“But a pair of binoculars 

staring down the gun 

barrel of the hitting area? 

You know what, I don’t 

think any club in baseball 

that’s competing against 

that team would take too 

kindly to that,” Tracy said.

Silva, Byrd help Cubs 

end 4-game losing streak 


CHICAGO — Don’t 

blame the new guys — 

Carlos Silva and Marlon 

Byrd — for the Chicago 

Cubs’ awful start. 

Silva is undefeated after 

beating the Florida Marlins 

4-3 on Wednesday and 

helping the Cubs stop a 

four-game losing streak. 

Byrd, who drove in the goahead 

run with a fifthinning 

double, leads the 

team in batting and RBIs. 

Had their teammates been 

as proficient, a ballclub with a 

high payroll and great expectations 

wouldn’t be 15-20. 

“This is his third team and 

my fourth. We’re veterans, so 

the transition is a little easier,” 

said Byrd, who has batted 

.400 over the last month to lift 

his average to .341. “We 

came in here and everybody 

was ready for us to contribute, 

and that’s what we’re doing.” 

While Byrd was signed as 

a free agent to play center 

field and hit in the middle of 

the lineup, the Cubs didn’t 

know what to expect from 

Silva (4-0) — an expensive 

underachiever Seattle 

insisted they take in the 

Dec. 18 deal for troubled 

outfielder Milton Bradley. 

The 31-year-old righthander 

was an effective 

pitcher for Minnesota from 

2004-07 but went 5-18 in 

two years with the Mariners. 

“I feel good, not only 

because I’m 4-0. I feel good 

because I feel like I am 

somebody right now,” Silva 

said. “My first year with 

Seattle was very tough, and 

last year I lost confidence. 

This year ... (the Cubs) 

were like, ‘We’re so happy 

you’re here.’ That gave me 

confidence, made me feel 

they were counting on me.” 

Asked what he changed, 

he said: “I trust myself a little 

more. Just throw the ball and 

forget about everything else.” 

Silva threw 23 of 27 

pitches for strikes in the 

first three innings as the 

Cubs went ahead on Mike 

Fontenot’s two-run double. 

The Marlins tied it on 

Ronny Paulino’s two-run 

single in the fourth but 

Silva, who allowed seven 

hits in 6 1-3 innings, other- 

wise pitched out of trouble. 

Offense, not pitching, has 

been the Cubs’ primary 

problem. In losing seven of 

their previous eight games, 

they scored 14 runs in the 

victory but totaled 14 in the 

seven defeats. 

This time, they got just 

enough to beat Chris Volstad 

(3-3). He allowed four runs 

in six innings, the first time in 

11 games a Florida starter 

gave up more than three runs. 

“I didn’t have my best stuff 

but I felt pretty good,” Volstad 

said. “We won the series, 

which is good, but a sweep 

would have been nice.” 

Florida still is looking 

for its first three-game winning 

streak. 

Kosuke Fukudome drew 

a one-out walk in the fifth, 

Starlin Castro singled and 

Byrd doubled for his 24th 

RBI. Castro then scored on 

a wild pitch when Paulino, 

the catcher, was unable to 

glove the ball just before it 

hit the dirt. 

“My mistake,” Volstad 

said. “I threw a changeup 

and it was supposed to be 

a curve.”

The Reds got consecutive 

complete-game shutouts for 

the first time since June 9- 

10, 1989, when Jose Rijo 

and Tom Browning did it at 

Dodger Stadium. 

“It’s unbelievable the 

way those guys threw 

back-to-back games,” 

Votto said. “Homer did 

pretty good carrying us all 

day, just like Johnny did 

last night.” 

Ranked 28th in the majors

The Pirates' only hit was 

by Ronny Cedeno — and it 

nearly wasn't one. Janish 

managed to deflect Cedeno's 

one-out grounder into 

left field, barely missing 

making the play. 

Chris Heisey backed up 

Cueto's superbly pitched 

game with his first three 

major league hits, including 

a pair of singles and a tworun 

homer in the eighth

Heisey, making his second 

career start, was hitless in 

his first seven at-bats.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, 

May 13, 2010: 

This year, many distractions head 

your way. You will have many choices, 

more than you ever thought possible. 

Creativity and detachment blend to 

give you an even better perspective. If 

you want to make an adjustment or 

change your path, you will be empowered

you have. Tonight: Whatever 

makes you happy. 

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) 

★★★ Take your time finding 

answers. You understand a lot more

might not have a choice. Tonight: A 

must appearance. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) 

★★★★★ Reach out for others and 

touch base with them. Discuss an 

opportunity that might somehow 

impact them. Travel, education and a 

different perspective could play into 

the conversation. Others seem to be 

more positive. Tonight: Surf the Net. 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

individual. You will get a stronger

and become more supportive. You

and direction. Tap into these resources. 

Tonight: Togetherness works. 

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) 

★★★★★ Others seem to understand 

where you are coming from. The 

opportunity to lead helps others identify 

with their bosses. If you have 

allowed others this chance, you will 

see the positive end results. Tonight: 

Just don’t be alone. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) 

★★★ Emphasize what is important 

in your daily and professional life. Is

between you and a neighbor or sibling. 

Tonight: Put on your dancing 

shoes. 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) 

★★★ Pressure builds on the home 

front. You cannot cover all the bases, 

and need to ask for some help or support. 

You could make promises today 

and plan to meet them, but life’s 

demands could be too much. Tonight: 

Mosey on home. 

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) 

★★★★★ Make a decision to 

change some part of your communication 

that impacts your life. Relax with 

a neighbor and catch up on his or her 

news. You could be surprised by what 

comes up. Tonight: Hang out with a 

family member or roommate.

On May 6, Portsmouth Even Start took a field trip to Boneyfiddle Garden Shop where the 

students planted flowers into flower pots made especially for their mothers for Mother’s 

Day. Owner Laurel DeAtley donated her time and the flowers to the class. Students 

attending were Nevaeh Crabtree, Jadynn York, Kiana Breech, Ethan York and not pictured 

Janaya Cooper. For more information about ABLE/Even Start, call (740) 372-2812. 

Container gardening is 

a great alternative for 

people who don’t have the 

time or space for a full 

garden or flowerbed. 

Often, however, container 

gardeners may feel they 

have to choose between 

beauty and practicality. 

When you can only plant 

so many containers, what 

do you fill them with — 

flowers or veggies? 

“Both,” says container 

gardening guru Pamela 

Crawford, author of “Easy 

Container Combos: Vegetables 

and Flowers.” “It’s 

possible to artfully combine 

flowers and vegetables 

in single, stunning, 

beautiful containers,” she 

says. “Practical and pretty 

can go side-by-side on 

your patio, deck, balcony, 

or even interspersed in 

your landscape.” 

Author of nine gardening 

books, Crawford was 

a seasoned floral container 

gardener when she 

decided to tackle the task 

of figuring out a way to 

make vegetables look 

pretty in containers. “Did 

I ever get a surprise when 

the first 100 or so vegetable 

combos looked just 

awful,” she says. By the 

end of the growing sea- 

son, she had planted 

1,768 vegetables, all 

transplants from Bonnie 

Plants, and arrived at 

some insight into how 

you can make a container 

garden both beautiful and 

bountiful. 

Here are her top container 

garden tips: 

1. Less is more — Keep 

it simple 

“My first container 

attempts included mixing 

too many different vegetables 

in the same container. 

The results looked 

like a mish-mash,” she 

says. Instead, think simple, 

like one tall vegetable 

in the center surrounded 

by a few flowers. Upright 

tomatoes with begonias 

and coleus planted along

Landscaping 

the edge are quite attractive. 

Or, plant one tall 

herb, like rosemary, and 

surround it with a shorter 

vegetable, like lettuce. 

2. Use pretty pots and 

hardware 

Even tomatoes look 

good in attractive pots, 

supported by nice 

obelisks or attractive trellises. 

Try planting one 

crooked-neck squash in 

the middle of a large, 

ceramic pot. Or plant a 

tomato in a Talavera 

(bright-colored geometric 

design) pot with an iron 

obelisk to support it. 

3. Pick your pot pleasure 

Almost anything can 

serve as a container for 

your garden - flower pots,

LAWN & GARDEN 

Now is the time to get outside 

and prepare outdoor living 

spaces for the entertainment 

season ahead. Don’t 

waste those gray, overcast 

days, which are great for 

other DIY projects. One task 

that can be tackled on a dreary 

day is prepping and cleaning 

your deck. 

Staining your deck is one 

of the best ways to protect 

your investment from the elements, 

keep it looking nice 

and make it easier to maintain. 

However, professional 

results don’t rely simply on 

laying down a coat or two of 

stain - any deck project 

should start with proper 

cleaning and preparation. 

And, while you may want a 

perfectly sunny weekend to 

stain your deck, prepping can 

be done at any time. Below 

are simple steps to help 

achieve great-looking results 

that last: 

Gather your tools and 

materials. Plan to have the 

following within reach as 

you prep your deck: 

Broom or leaf blower 

Ladder (for decks off 

ground) 

Rags 

Tarps 

Buckets for mixing 

Synthetic brushes (2 to 4 

inches) 

Rollers 

Long handles for rollers 

Roller frames and roller 

grids 

pails, buckets, wire baskets, 

bushel baskets, 

washtubs, window 

planters, even large food 

cans. Larger veggies, like 

tomatoes and eggplants, 

will need a larger container, 

at least 5 gallons for 

each plant. “Use the 

largest containers you can 

afford, and that you have 

space for, especially with 

warm season vegetables,” 

Crawford advises. “The 

plants will look better and 

last longer because the 

roots will have more room 

to grow.” 

4. Don’t forget drainage 

and do consider color 

Whatever type container 

you choose, remember 

proper drainage is vital. 

Your container should 

have holes at the base or 

in the bottom to permit 

drainage of excess water. 

Color is also a consideration. 

Dark colored containers 

will absorb heat 

that could possibly damage 

the plant roots. If you 

must use dark colored 

pots, try painting them a 

lighter color or shading 

the container. 

5. Flowers look fabulous 

combined with vegetables 

Interesting looking 

Cleaning product. Flood 

wood care offers wood cleaning 

and stripping products to 

help clean and brighten surfaces 

dulled and grayed by 

the sun, dirt and rain. 

Check your surfaces. To 

ensure your deck is both safe 

and beautiful, be sure to 

inspect the area for bad 

wood, dry rot, loose nails, 

loose spindles and broken 

boards. Replace boards as 

needed and secure any loose 

nails and spindles. 

Prepare yourself, the deck 

and the surrounding area. 

Make sure you take all safety 

precautions before embarking 

on your deck cleaning 

project. Wear gloves, safety 

glasses and old clothing - 

shorts are not recommended. 

Before starting, cover any 

areas you want to protect, 

wet down plants and shrubs, 

and wet your deck surface 

plants like squash, okra or 

crooked neck squash can 

stand alone in a pot. But 

others, like eggplant and 

spinach, look much better 

accented with flowers. 

Beans, lettuce, peppers 

and spinach are among 

the easiest veggies to start 

with in a container. Veggies 

that require little 

space, like carrots and 

radishes, or that bear over 

a long period of time, like 

tomatoes, are also great 

for container gardening. 

Steer clear of artichokes, 

asparagus, corn, 

pumpkins and potatoes, 

which don’t look good, 

are too big for a pot or 

require you to dismantle 

the whole container garden 

in order to harvest 

them. 

Flowers that pair well 

with vegetables in containers 

include dragon 

wing or wax begonias, 

coleus, fountain grass, 

lantana, lavender, pansies 

and purple-heart tradescantia. 

6. Stabilize with centerpieces 

surrounded by 

smaller plants 

Floral container gardens 

usually look best 

with a large plant in the 

center and smaller plants 

with water. 

Clean, scrub and renew. 

Work the cleaner into the 

wood, working from the bottom 

up to reduce streaking. 

Be sure to keep the surface 

wet with water and let the 

wood cleaner stand for 20 to 

30 minutes before rinsing. 

Once cleaned, wood should 

dry for at least 48 hours 

before applying stain. 

The cleaning process for 

an average-sized (300 to 500 

square feet) deck should take 

approximately five to six 

hours. And, since Mother 

Nature won’t harm your 

work, cleaning can be done 

on a gloomy day. A properly 

cleaned deck should be 

stained within 30 days. After 

30 days, a light cleaning with 

bleach and water before 

staining will do the trick.

7. Don’t break the bank 

Warm-season vegetables 

do much better in large 

containers with at least a 

16-inch diameter. Since 

attractive, large containers 

can be expensive, look for 

less expensive alternatives 

if you don’t want to break 

the bank. Since many 

warm-season vegetables 

fall over without support, 

try wooden trellises painted 

in contrasting bright 

colors to help support the 

plants. 

“I used to avoid placing 

vegetables in planting 

containers because I 

thought they were unattractive, 

but now I know 

better,” Crawford says. 

“Now I will always have 

vegetables tucked in 

amongst my flowers.”
