The Goodland taekwondo club had four students compete at the American Taekwondo Association Midwest District competition on June 8 in Kansas City, coming away with one champion, who now has a chance to compete at the World Tournament of Champions in July.

Lowell Coon, Connie Jo John-son, Trent Coon and Jackson Daise competed in Districts. To compete at the district level, Johnson said, you have to be in the top 10 in the state, determined by tournaments throughout the year. There are four states in the district: Kansas, Colo-rado, Oklahoma and Missouri. The competitors are broken up by age groups and belt ranks.

“It is a very tough quality of com-petition,” Lowell Coon said.

Trent Coon and Daise both won “awesome competitors” awards; Johnson won third place in combat sparring and Lowell Coon won

second place in forms and cham-pion in sparring. With the win, he qualifies to compete for the world champion title in sparring. Coon said he missed winning in forms by just two points.

Coon will compete in the Tourna-ment of Champions at the associa-tion’s World Conference on July 12 in Little Rock, Ark.

Lowell Coon, a second-degree black belt, said he started learning taekwondo in the 1990s, but stopped until his son Trent got him back into it. Trent Coon and Daise are junior instructors, who help teach younger students.

Trent Koon said the classes are a lot of fun.

“You have to work really hard,” he said. “You have to know what’s going on, when and how to do certain things, and there are a lot of rules.”

The school owner is Wayne Luck-ert, a fourth-degree black belt. There are three other instructors, Johnson,

Lowell Coon and Steve Boshoff; and four junior leaders, Daise, Trent Coon, Manten Crow and Aaron Luckert. Johnson said junior leaders get extra points for things like time keeping, while instructors get extra points for judging at competitions.

There are three age groups: the Tiny Tigers for kids aged 4 and 5; the Karate for Kids for ages 6 and 7; and the adult class. The classes meet two nights a week through most of the year, or three nights for higher ranked students. During the summer the classes are cut to once a week.

Johnson said they compete in four areas: forms, sparring, weapons forms and weapons sparring. Forms are a set of movements that students work on perfecting. Lowell Coon said they help with things like power and body posture and are a test of memory and discipline. There are nine color belts and nine degrees of black belt.

State Sen. Ralph Ostmeyer said that although this year’s Legisla-tive session had some of the same conflicts as last year’s, overall it went well.

Ostmeyer went straight from the session to a meeting of Agriculture and Natural Resources commit-tee members from across North America in Canada, returning early this week.

The Legislature went nine days over it’s usual 90-day schedule, mainly due to deadlocks on the budget.

“There was a week where we didn’t do anything, just pointed fingers,” he said.

Ostmeyer said he didn’t antici-pate the budget taking that long. One of the issues, he said, was the Senate wanted to allow more to be taken off the state sales tax while the House wanted to keep it the same. In the end they got only half of what they wanted.

While there is some income tax relief, Ostmeyer said, the budget is very tight.

“Unless the economy turns around, the governor’s going to have to do something different next year,” he said.

It was anticipated that this year’s session would be less contentious

The Goodland School Board met early on Monday at North Elementary School to see the items that the district will have in its garage sale.

The board looked at desks for teachers and students, old technology, old cameras and dark room equipment, shelving, kitchen items and old uniforms. The garage sale is from 2 to 6 p.m. today at North Elementary.

Superintendent Bill Biermann reported that removal of half of the bleachers from Max Jones Fieldhouse has been completed. The first half of the new bleachers was expected to arrive on July 8 and the second half a week later. The replacement should be done in three weeks. After completion there will be time to surface and rewax the floor before volleyball season.

He said the Black and Gold Booster Club had donated $3,500 to help finish track construction on pole vault and shot put areas.

Hutton Construction reported on the bids they had let out for the first part of the remodel project at West Elementary which includes the court yard and the new entries. They wanted the board to approve the bids for the steel and rebar and the bricks, which were either lower or in the budget. The other two bids they wanted to relet – dirt work and roofing – because they either had no bids or were over budget. Hutton said the important

ones to accept now were the metal and brick because of the time needed to make the materials.

The construction company also asked the board if it could present the bids to a smaller committee than the whole board for approval because it was more efficient. The board said the current bid committee of Gary Slough, Diane Stiles and Jessica Cole would do that. The board reorganizes its committees in July.

There was also some discussion about adding a band room to square up the building at north and making that the storm shelter instead of the two class rooms in front of it. The board discussed it. They asked if there would be more architect fees to do that and they said no. Biermann said the additional cost would run about $40,000. Board member Teresa Sieck was concerned that the money might be needed at a later date for something else. The board took no formal action and will wait until the next board meeting to decide. The next meeting will be at 7 p.m. on Monday, June 24, at the administration building.

In other business the board:• Paid $210,758 in bills.• Signed the contract with architects Gibson, Man-

cini, Carmichael and Nelson, P.A.• Signed the contract with Hutton Construction

Several passers-by stopped at the Giant Easel last week to check out the new signs and kiosk put up by the Goodland Rotary Club. The additions include a sign with a QR code on it, which when

scanned with a phone takes visitors to a website guide of Good-land put together by Girl Scout Brooke Lockheart.

obituaries

At 5:55 p.m. on June 6, 2013, The Great Lord above called another an-gel home. We here on earth called her Linda Maie (Fogg) Tannehill. She was an awesome moth-er, wife, sister, aunt and friend. She fought the biggest fight of all against breast cancer. On July 6, all are welcome to a memo-rial barbeque that will be held at 1420 Montana Ave., Goodland, Kan.

She was born April 30, 1954, in Burlington to Hobart and Lucie (Burd) Fogg.

On Aug. 3, 1973, she married Kenneth Tannehill. To this union were born two beautiful little girls. One was called home when she was born. Her name was Brandi. Lin-da's youngest daughter, Krisandra Taylor, is the mother of her three amazing grandchildren. Savan-nah, Cooper and Remington were the light of their memaw's life.

She is also the adopted mother of Kenny Miller, Matthew Whal-ey, Krystal Whaley, and many more. She is the sister of Loyd Fogg and his wife Tammy of Goodland, Kan. She is the greatest aunt in the

world to Angie Hol-loway and her family, Christina Burgess and her family, Kim-berly Clark and her family, Courtney Knox and her fam-ily, Dustin Fogg and Genista Tillery. She is the sister-in-law to Linda Colson, Patty Boyd, Kathleen Bai-ley, Steve Tannehill, Mike Tannehi l l ,

Johnny Tannehill and Bobby Tannehill, and their families.

Linda lived a full life. Up until the very end she was surrounded by her family. She loved mak-ing jewelry, quilts, and crafts of all kinds. She also had a gift of redecorating homes. As all of her family says, she was always the first person there for everyone; no matter what she would figure out a solution, day or night. She loved everyone the way they were. Linda was a class act.

She was preceded in death by her father; mother; sister, Vicky Tillery; her brother William.

She is loved and missed by her family.

Memorials may be made to Chaney-Reager Funeral Home, P.O. Box 1046, Sterling, CO 80751.

A pilot had to use a county road as a landing strip Tuesday morning when the motor on his plane quit near the St. Francis airport.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported the engine of Ricky Rue Rogers’s single-engine Mustang failed about 9:20 a.m. Tuesday.

Karen Krien, publisher of The Saint Francis Herald, said that Rogers, 65, St. Francis, is an expe-rienced pilot who decided he could not get the plane all the way to the landing strip.

She said he set the plane down on County Road 16, about two miles

southeast of the Cheyenne County Airport south of St. Francis.

The plane appeared to be a World War II P-51 Mustang fighter plane or a replica, although its registration was dated 2012. The emergency landing crumpled the right wing of the plane next to the

engine and tore two of the blades off the propeller. It had to picked up with a crane and loaded on a truck before Rogers could get it back home. The patrol reported he was wearing his seatbelt and was not hurt.

This plane had to be lifted off a county road near St. Francis after its engine died and the pilot could not quite get to the airport there

Tuesday morning. The plane suffered damage to its wings and engine. Photo by Karen Krien/Saint Francis

By Ron WilsonDirector

Huck Boyd National Institute for Rural Development

at Kansas State UniversityRough seas off the western coast

of Africa are making it difficult for a company to complete its work. Where would such a company turn for a solution? Would you believe, to a business in rural Kansas?

Matt Wilson (no relation to the author) is owner and founder of Invena Corporation in southeast Kansas. Matt grew up in Eureka, graduated from what is now Kansas State Salina and earned a mechani-cal engineering technology degree from Kansas State Manhattan.

“I had mentors, professors who made a great impression on me,” Matt said. His corporate career took him to large companies in Allen-town, Pa., and Dallas, Texas.

In 1997, Matt’s father was di-agnosed with colon cancer, so he moved back to Eureka and set up shop as an individual consultant with his mother Carma doing the books. They named the new busi-ness Invena, as a play on the word invention.

“That’s what we do. We invent things,” Matt said.

“We had a nice website and fancy business cards,” he said. “We just never invited anybody to the cor-porate headquarters.” That was because, for the first two years of operation, the corporate headquar-ters was the guest bedroom of his parent’s house.

“I lived on the road,” Matt said.Over time, the business evolved

beyond consulting. “We would design something for a company, and they would say, ‘Looks good. Just go ahead and get it built some-where.’” So Invena staff started producing these products through subcontractors and eventually moved into doing the manufactur-ing themselves.

Matt bought the old train depot in Eureka and remodeled it into the corporate office. Since those first years, Matt has remarried, his mother Carma retired, and his father survived the bout with cancer. The company has grown to 35 employ-ees with more than $10 million dollars in annual revenues.

Invena is known for design and precision fabrication of equipment and controls for the energy and aero-space sectors, but the company re-mains flexible. Essentially, Invena

is an engineering problem-solver.“There’s a lot of opportunity,”

Matt said.For example: After the earth-

quake in San Francisco, Calif., au-thorities required that all buildings and fixtures be earthquake-proof. Invena was called upon to do the required analysis for one company’s wheel racks.

When an Argentina firm acquired a used cryogenic plant but found that the equipment manufacturer had gone out of business, Invena “reverse-engineered” and built the necessary equipment. When a large customer in Houston had a big fast-track design project, Invena set up a remote office at the customer’s fa-cility and quickly hired and trained a dozen CAD designers and engineers to execute it. Then Invena set up another remote office at the manu-facturing plant in Tulsa to work with the folks on the shop floor.

Invena’s customers are mostly Fortune 50 companies – not Fortune 500, Fortune 50 – so they are very successful.

“Eighty percent of our business is export,” Matt said. He estimates that Invena has worked with customers in 54 countries.

That’s quite remarkable for a company in a rural community like Eureka, population 2,940 people. Now, that’s rural. For more informa-tion, go to www.invena.com.

What are the challenges of doing this international work in a small Kansas town? “We have to plan ahead – can’t just run downtown if we need some unusual part,” Matt said. “But we love it here. I couldn’t stand to move back to the city. We recruit people from the west coast where there is lots of crime and a high cost of living. When they come here, it’s like a dream. Our rural lo-cation can work to our advantage.”

Matt is now working with the Kansas State Department of Archi-tecture on designs for downtown redevelopment in Eureka.

“If all I accomplish at the end of my days is to say I helped save my hometown, that’s good enough,” he said.

It’s time to leave this platform off the shore of West Africa, where Invena helped solve the problem of the rough seas. We salute Matt Wilson and all the people of Invena for making a difference with their entrepreneurial engineering. Their business is helping rural Kansas make waves.

Kansans receive checks through settlement

Kansas borrowers who sub-mitted a valid foreclosure pay-ment claim through the National Mortgage Settlement will re-ceive a check this month for approximately $1,480, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt announced today.

More than $9 million will be distributed to 6,350 Kansans. Eligible borrowers had their mortgage serviced by one of the settlement’s five participating mortgage servicers, lost their home to foreclosure between Jan. 1, 2008, and Dec. 31, 2011, and submitted a valid claim form. The participating servicers are Ally (formerly GMAC), Bank of America, Citi, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo.

“These payments are in addi-tion to mortgage assistance that already has been provided to more than 1,500 Kansans under terms of our settlement,” said Schmidt, .

Schmidt said accepting the payment does not limit a bor-rower’s ability to seek additional relief through a separate private

lawsuit or other claims.Nationally, the settlement ad-

ministrator will mail valid-claim payments to borrowers listed in 962,278 loan records from June 10 through June 17. The pay-ments come from a $1.5 billion pool of funds.

In February 2012, 49 state attorneys general, including At-torney General Schmidt, and the federal government announced the historic joint state-federal National Mortgage Settlement. Preliminary data shows that, prior to distribution of these checks, the servicers have provided more than $50 billion in direct settle-ment relief to borrowers nation-wide, including $54.4 million to Kansans.

Borrowers with questions about their payment should call the settlement administrator at (866) 430-8358. Borrowers with general questions may call the Kansas Attorney General’s Con-sumer Protection Division at (800) 432-2310 or visit www.ag.ks.gov.

from our viewpoint...

Governor doesn’tget a blank check

Lessons from the land

Editorialists wailed and gnashed their teeth.Kansas, they said, could become a dictatorship when Gov.

Sam Brownbeck got his friends in control of both houses of the Legislature. He’d be able to pass any bill he wanted, and that would be too much power for any one man.

The governor’s agenda would have “smooth sailing” during the 2013 session, one “expert” predicted.

Ha!Anyone who thought that might happen hasn’t spent much

time around legislatures or politics. There’s a dynamic that makes senators and representatives independent from the governor, and one house poles apart from the other, no matter who’s in office.

In fact, that’s what the Founding Fathers hoped for when they created our three-part government, featuring executive, judicial and legislative branches sharing power in a rough balance.

No branch completely trusts the other, each is jealous of its independence and all fear one of the others might become too powerful. Each house of a legislature eyes the other with suspicion, casting a wary eye on the other side.

That’s just the way things are, even when all three are run by members of the same party and even when, as the governor and his allies did last fall, one group becomes more powerful and gangs up on another.

The governor and other conservatives campaigned successfully to oust liberal Republican senators who blocked many of Mr. Brownback’s plans in the Senate. The old Senate leadership was ousted, replaced by a group closer to the governor’s way of thinking. The Democrats, as usual in Kansas, were left with too few votes to count much.

So, this year, everyone expected great (or terrible) things from a new conservative alliance dominating the Statehouse. It never works that way, though.

The governor and many legislators saw eye to eye on many things, and his new allies in the Senate backed his plan to hold onto much of the remaining state spending while continuing to cut income taxes. Cuts would be paid for by retaining a 1-cent increase on the state sales tax passed under Gov. Mark Parkinson which otherwise would have expired next year.

Some reporters billed this as a $700-million tax increase, though tax rates were going down, not up. The House balked, though, mostly because conservatives there felt they have made a promise to let the sales tax go down.

The deadlock left the session incomplete as the 80-day goal for adjournment leaders had announced came and went. Soon, the 90-day limit set by law passed. Still no agreement.

Finally the houses compromised, shaving the sales tax to 6.15 percent and setting a schedule for further income-tax cuts. So much for the governor’s unlimited power.

Will Kansas be better off for the changes pushed by Gov. Brownback? Only time will tell. But for sure, we’re in no danger of him becoming some sort of all-powerful dictator.

The system just won’t allow that. – Steve Haynes

For Kansans June, July and August are months when some of us return to our roots and visit family in rural communities across the state. Some go back to help with wheat harvest, others go home to spend time visiting with friends they have grown up with. For all it’s a time to reflect and remember.

Many of us are one or even two generations removed from the farm but we still remember fondly our early years. A friend once told me, remembering our early life on the farm is an important part of saying good-bye.

For me summertime meant harvest. It still does.

I accompanied my dad and Uncle Bernie to the harvest fields when I was eight years old. I couldn’t wait to see those monster machines chew through the golden waves of grain.

By the time I was a teenager, I was a regular member of the harvest crew. My responsibility was to level off the load in the back of one of our International Harvester trucks. In between unloading, a big handful of wheat – thoroughly chewed without swallowing – made a pretty big wad of gum. Not much flavor but one heck’uva chew.

Mom brought meals to the field in the family car and we had the chance to eat her wonderful home cooking while sitting on the tailgate of our pickup truck. What a treat.

The summer after I finished the fifth grade, I started helping dad one-way plow our summer fallow ground. It took me another couple years before I could pull this heavy cultivating tool out of the ground. This was before hydraulic

cylinders.Other things I remember – looking down a

badger’s hole and seeing the critter looking back up at me – learning to hunt the wily ring-neck pheasant with our Irish setter, Red, something I still enjoy today – looking to the westward sky and watching the sun paint a masterpiece at the close of day – listening to the melodious meadowlark – darting through the summer grass during hot summer nights – and catching fireflies to make a lantern in one of Mom’s empty Mason jars.

Dad always watched the weather from our picture window on the west side of our house. You could easily see the Menlo elevator nine miles to the west across the pancake-flat High Plains prairie. I’d help him watch, hope and pray that parched land would receive rain and crop-crushing storms would somehow skip our land.

Without question the greatest lesson we can learn from the land is hope. Crops and a bountiful harvest are never guaranteed. Drought always threatened my dad’s crops. Too much rain meant harvest delays or crop-choking weeds. Thunderstorms – the likes seen nowhere else in the world – often carried with them damaging winds and hail that could level

a field of wheat in minutes.The summer of my junior year at Sheridan

Community High School, such a storm wiped out our wheat crop. Dad rode in the combine cab with me as we entered one of our fields a few days later. One round later we both looked back in the bin and saw less than a fourth of it filled with wheat. It should have been full half way through the field.

After we completed the first round, Dad told me to let him off and he left the field. As he walked away, I saw him dry his eyes. He couldn’t stand to see the crop he’d work so hard to grow hailed into the ground.

Two and a half months later on Sept. 15 – he always started wheat seeding then – we were out in our fields planting for the next year. He always had hope.

I learned at an early age that hope is not wishful thinking of harvest success. Rather, hope is the action of planning and planting seeds. For some, harvest may not occur every year, but the seeds of hope must be planted if there is even the thought of a next year’s harvest.

There are many other memories I have of growing up on a farm, too numerous to mention in this column. As I continue to work with farmers, I am reminded that they continue to love and learn from their land. Those of us who could not stay on the land, cherish the time we spent there. We have benefited from this experience – the lessons learned on the land will nourish us wherever we are planted.

Remember when you just went to the store and bought shampoo?

We used Prell for years. It was green and good for your hair. The tube said so.

And just to be clear, I’m talking about my parents and my siblings here, not the family I raised. They grew up in a far different world.

Remember when you washed your hair, then combed it and let it dry?

If it didn’t behave, you’d grab something like Vitalis or Brylcreem or some other kind of grease or goo and slicked it down. Or up. Depending on what was in style.

Life was simpler then. Just shampoo. Rinse. Repeat.

But I imagine that many of you out there do not understand what I’m talking about at all. Most of you probably grew up in the era of hydrating shampoos and nutrifying conditioner, or cream rinse, as we first called it.

Most of you probably don’t even remember Prell, may it rest in peace. (OK, they still make the stuff, but Proctor and Gamble ditched it years ago. Just say it’s no longer a market leader.)

It’s been a long time since men discovered conditioner, still longer for women.

My hair is fine, and it’s gotten finer as it’s gotten grayer. Without conditioner, it just sticks out, levitated by the static it generates.

So let’s just say the two-step shampoo-and-conditioner regimen is here to stay for me.

But having complicated our lives, why do the manufacturers insist on selling shampoo and cream rinse in similar bottles. The print these days is so small, no one over age 32 can read it, to start with. But many of them make the shape and color of the bottles identical.

And then you find yourself in the (dimly lit) shampoo aisle, looking for a magnifier so you can read the bottles.

Maybe that’s what happened to me last year. I bought several bottles of rinse and several shampoos of the brand I like. At least, that’s what I thought I’d done.

I buy small shampoos and large conditioner, because you need a drop of the concentrated

shampoo and a handful of conditioner to do the average head of hair.

I had finished off a bottle of conditioner, rinsed out the last drops and thrown it away. I went to the cupboard, and got a new, large bottle, put it in the shower. The next day, I washed my hair, then worked a handful cream rinse into it. It seemed a little foamier than the last bottle, but my hair looked OK when I combed it.

The next morning – maybe I was more awake – I noticed that the conditioner was a LOT more foamy than usual. I looked at the bottle. Shampoo. I’d been rinsing my hair with shampoo! Well, I thought it felt a little odd.

I checked the cupboard, and the other large bottle in there was conditioner, so I put it out to use. I asked Cynthia to get me a couple of bottles of conditioner next time she was at the store that carries it. Then I was called away on an emergency, leaving her to mind the store.

When I got back, I was beat after facing the

sun all day, driving home from Lawrence. I needed a shower. When I grabbed the shampoo, I turned it over and out ran – a stream of water. How odd.

I managed to pour most of the water off, but the remaining shampoo was a little thin. Then Cynthia popped in.

“I filled the small shampoo from the big bottle so we didn’t have to have the big one in the shower,” she told me brightly.

“You mean the watered-down, nearly empty bottle I’d left in there to be used up?” I said.

Oops. It will be easier to use than the big one,

however, and though it’s a little runny, it does a great job on hair.

Then Cynthia told me what’d happened when she went to get the conditioner. When she got home, she said, she found she had two conditioners and one shampoo. And when she took the shampoo back, she found that the stocker had put them on the shelf that way, alternating bottles of cream rinse and shampoo.

No wonder we had been fooled. The store traded her for what she wanted.

Maybe they’ll even have the stocker straighten out his mess. But me? I think I just want my Prell back.

Remember when...

than last year’s which saw conflicts between conservative and moderate Republicans in the Senate. However, Ostmeyer said, that same divi-sion now exists in the House.

“They didn’t have a strong conservative ma-jority,” he said. “They couldn’t get the 63 votes to get anything passed.”

The session went well over all, he said, despite philosophical differences in the House. With his responsibilities as a Federal and State Affairs Committee chair, the 90 days flew by.

Ostmeyer acknowledged that the Legislature may have to make massive cuts next year. The House wanted to make cuts to higher education

and prisons this year, he said, which could have resulted in the closure of the Stockton prison, but the Senate was able to put back in about $7 million of the planned $8 million cut.

Like Rep. Ward Cassidy, Ostmeyer was not in favor of putting developmental disability care under KanCare, the state’s new Medicaid management program.

“We didn’t get that stopped,” he said. “I didn’t think it was going to help and we gave them a reprieve last year.”

Ostmeyer said he was more concerned about funding the developmental disability services the state already has. Only time will tell whether or not the change will work out, he said.

Also passed this year were several gun bills,

including one that recognizes other state’s con-cealed carry permits. Ostmeyer said he tried to get exemptions for schools and counties so they could be allowed to take down their “no guns al-lowed” signs, but that measure did not pass. He said he likes the plan put in place in Sedgwick County, which allows people with concealed carry permits to carry their weapons inside county buildings.

Ostmeyer was a sponsor of several abortion bills, including one that prohibits abortions to choose the sex of the baby. Some of these were measures the Legislature tried to push through before, he said.

Goodland black belt to try for world titleConcealed carry permits down

For the first time this year, the monthly total of Kansas concealed carry applications dropped below 3,000, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt said today.

In May, 2,032 Kansans applied for concealed carry permits, down from 3,462 in April. But the May total was still higher than any other

month in the program’s history prior to this year. Before January, the one-month record was 1,651 ap-plications received in March 2012.

In the first five months of 2013, Schmidt’s office received 16,302 new concealed carry applications. There are 60,037 active concealed carry licensees in Kansas.

Plant variety determines where seed is boughtBy Kay Melia

The Gardenervkmelia@yahoo.com

Someone asked me the other day where I bought my garden seed. My answer was that I normally buy my seed from J.W. Jung or Burpee. And my friend said “Why?” And I said that a lot of the reason for buying where I do was force of habit. I grew up in a family that nearly always ordered from Burpee in the 1940s, so, through the years, the Burpee name stayed with me. Then I dis-covered the Jung catalog and the largest part of my purchases went to them because their catalog was

so well organized, and prices, while not the lowest, were less than some companies, including Burpees.

As I think back over that conver-sation, it occurred to me that the top priority for placing my seed order each year is not necessar-ily the price, or the beauty of the catalog. My first consideration is

to buy from the Com-pany that sells the va-riety of the vegetable or flower that I have proven to myself to be the best producer. If Burpee doesn’t offer Mirai sweet corn, and

they don’t, then I will order from Jung, who does. If Jung doesn’t sell Northern Exposure tomato seed, then I’ll buy from Burpee, who does. And so on.

Therefore, my seed purchases, which seem to average in the $75 range over the years, have always gone to the people who offer the

variety of seed I prefer. When I buy seed, variety trumps price every time! If I have to, I’ll pay a little more to get what works best for me. You know what? I notice that many times in the seed catalog, that the price of my choice is less than the others on the page. The cost of a packet of Ambrosia cantaloupe, my favorite, costs about the same as the other varieties.

Then there is the question about buying seeds and plants from your hometown dealer. There again, the variety I prefer trumps the avail-ability of any other consideration. I raise nearly all my own plants. If I

didn’t do that, I would absolutely buy tomato, pepper, cabbage and broccoli plants from my friends at the garden center. But probably not unless they offered the ones I feel I must have. That’s how strongly I feel about variety. But my guaran-tee to my hometown seed and plant dealer is that I will always buy the needed garden products from them, like fertilizer, insect sprays, weed killers, and tools. Those items will always total up to be much greater than seed packets and tomato plants.

Shopping seed catalogs and in-store seed racks can be an interest-ing process if price is your main seed

buying objective. Seed packets are usually sold by weight, not the num-ber of seeds. An ounce of seed will likely mean a whole lot less seeds of one species than another. Most seed catalogs now tell you how many seeds in a packet. But not all.

And if you have noticed that some of the more than 300 mail order seed companies seem to charge more per packet, it’s probably with good reason. They either go to greater extremes to prepare an eye catching, colorful, easy to read publication, or they mail their catalogs to many more gardening households than the others. Or both.
