Kilgour garden can teach many lessons
MOUNT LOOKOUT - Seven-year-old Vivienne Konz picked up a shovel roughly twice as tall as she was and carefully maneuvered it toward the large swath of newly spread dirt behind Kilgour Elementary School. The volunteers hope the garden - a joint venture between the school and the community - will soon yield tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, carrots, and other veggies that the kids can help cultivate, learn about and perhaps even eat themselves. He's since received the support of the school, financial help from the Kilgour PTA, a truckload of donated fertilizer from Carriage House Farm in North Bend and a ton of volunteer help. The "it" was the future 280-square-foot vegetable garden that she and about 25 other volunteers -adults and children -were building the beds for Saturday morning behind the school playground. Vivienne's father Kevin Konz, of Hyde Park, came up with the idea of building a garden at the school about two years ago after he won a $250 "Earning for Learning" grant from his employer, Macy's. She hopes the garden will also inspire the kids to pick up some healthy-eating habits.

This author is not one to throw dirt around about candidates. It has come to my attention that some people do not do much or any research so I got my shovel ready to do some digging for you about a candidate; Newt Gingrich.
We saw it... [with] the bike-riding. Obama at the beach; Obama playing basketball... The campaign will not have to SAY anything; subliminally, it works.Of course, McCain cannot lift shovels of dirt because of the injuries he was subjected to during his captivity in North Vietnam.That will not be told.
The giant Palouse earthworm has taken on mythic qualities in this vast agricultural region that stretches from eastern Washington into the Idaho panhandle — its very name evoking the fictional sandworms from "Dune" or those vicious creatures from the movie "Tremors."
It may not be dead, and it's entirely possible I'm shoveling dirt on something that's still writhing around, promising me it is in fact the next big thing, but I'm now deaf to its cries. Google Plus is a failure no matter what the numbers may say.
