Republican Women's Club Receives National, State Awards



Butterflies are some of the mostbeautiful creatures around. Theyrange in size from very tiny toquite large. In the coastalCarolina's, some you may see areSwallowtails, Whites, Sulphur,Gossamer-Wing, Metalmarks,Brush Footed, Skippers, and if youare lucky, Monarchs. Within eachfamily there are subfamilies. Forinstance, in the Swallowtails youmay see a Zebra or a BlackSwallowtail. In the Whites andSulphur you may see a CabbageWhite or Orange Sulphur. Theremay be a Little Metalmark in theMetalmark family. In the Brush-Footed family there may be aCarolina Satyr or an AmericanLady. The Monarch family mayhave a Queen as well as the

Soldier. In the Skipper family

there may be a Dusky Roadside ora Southern Broken-Dash. As youcan see the variety is unlimited.

If you wish to create a butterflygarden, it is suggested you startsmall. Purchase a good referencebook and keep records of whatyou see. This will enable you todiscover new ones when they findyour garden. You can documentwhat species visit your garden. The

garden can be enlarged as you gain

knowledge of what attracts differ-ent species of butterflies. If youhave limited space and want toattract butterflies, you can accom-plish this onyour deck,patio, or bal-cony. All that isrequired is toplace a few pot-ted plantsaround thatattract butter-f lies and pro-vide them thebasics theyneed.

The basic needs of butterflies aresun, rocks, and water. Protectthem from direct sun and wind orthey will not go near your garden.At least four hours of sun a day isrecommended. One of their natu-ral predators are birds. Both thebutterfly and the larva need pro-tection from this predator, so pro-vide hiding places for them.Provide a water hole. It is not nec-essary to have a deep pool ofwater. A shallow container filledwith sand which is kept damp willwork. This will provide the butter-flies with water and allow them toget the salts and nutrients theyneed from the sand.

It is easy to attract butterflies. Ifyou wish them to stay and raise

their families in your yard, youwill need to provide nectar plantsfor them to feed on and hostplants for them to lay their eggson. These plants should be chosenfor their edible appeal to caterpil-lars. A good balance in your but-terfly garden of both host and nec-tar plants will be beneficial. If youplant one without the other, youmay cut the butterfly populationin half. By planting both the hostand nectar plants, you will be ableto watch and learn about the life

cycle of the but-terfly. There isusually one hostplant that willattract a singlespecies of butter-f lies. Differenthost plants willprovide a greatervariety of butter-flies. To deter-mine what

species you wish to attract doesrequire some research on yourpart.

Do not use pesticides or insecti-cides in your butterfly garden. It issuggested that to control fire antsyou use bait. Fire ant bites areharmful to butterflies and caterpil-lars. It is best to use non-toxicsolutions or soapy water to controlother pests.

The Leland Friends of theLibrary (FOLL) is pleased toannounce that the FOLL hasestablished a presence on theInternet! While still nascent, thenew FOLL website will providethe FOLL a vehicle with which tobetter communicate with the larg-er Library community theyendeavor to serve.

"This has been a long time incoming." Said Clif Bridgers,President of the FOLL. "It could-n't come at a better time wherethere is so much happening atthe Library right now." TheLeland library is about to under-go a transformation with the con-struction of the recently approvedexpansion project. The FOLL isalso undergoing some changes tobetter serve both the Library andthe Community it supports.They are in the midst of renovat-ing the old town planning officenext to the Library. Once work iscompleted, it will serve as a per-manent location for a monthlyfund-raising book sale. The"Magnolia House", as it has beendubbed, is expected to open forregular weekend sales in June.

Visit: http://friendsofthele-landlibrary.blogspot.com/

To keep up with FOLL activi-ties, there is also an option on thesite to subscribe to RSS feeds forFOLL updates. There will bescheduling changes while theLibrary is under construction,there will be event postings and acalendar of Library and FOLLactivities available on the site,too.

Friend ofLeland LibraryWebsite A weed can be simply defined as "a

plant out of place." There have beenmany calls to the Extension MasterGardener Hot Line requesting iden-tification of these out-of-place plantsand asking how to get rid of them.Environmentally, the best is to sim-ply pull up the weed, taking theroots, stem, and foliage. This methodworks every time without fail. Weedpulling is great exercise and can bedeveloped into a skill. If you havejust a few weeds, then pull them up.

For larger gardens, the hoe (or sim-ilar tool) and a little elbow grease willcontrol a great number of weeds.However, all the elbow grease inNorth Carolina will not control badBermudagrass infestation in a largeflower bed or vegetable garden.

Herbicides are chemicals that killplants. Some herbicides are callednonselective herbicides becausethese products will kill most or allplants when applied according tolabel instructions.

Nonselective herbicides are mostoften used to kill undesirable plants(i.e. poison ivy) on vegetation aroundbuildings, fence rows, or parking lots.Desirable plants may be killed if theycome in contact with any nonselec-tive herbicide you are using. Extremecare must be exercised when usingthese products. Examples of nonse-lective herbicides include Roundupand Finale. Used properly, any ofthese products will do the job on thetargeted weed, but every year manyhomeowners damage their gardens,shrubs, or trees by allowing herbicidespray to drift to desirable plants. Besure to read and follow all the direc-tions before using any herbicideproduct.

Roundup is a nonselective herbi-cide that is commonly available andproduces excellent nonselective,wide spectrum weed control. Duringthe last 30 years, research scientists

have made fantastic progress indevelopment of selective herbicides.Selective herbicides will kill only cer-tain species or types of plants.

Grasses are a major problem inornamental shrub and flower beds.Vantage and Grass-B-Gone are selec-

tive herbicides that kill many grassesbut do not harm most ornamentalplants. Vantage kills Bermudagrass,crabgrass, and most other grassesdead without damaging ornamentalplants.

Centipedegrass is resistant or verytolerant of Vantage. Vantage islabeled for weedy grass. However, besure you have centipedegrass. Everyyear someone's carpetgrass orBermudagrass lawn is killed becausethe homeowner did not know thedifference between centipedegrassand other weedy grasses.

Nutsedge (Cyperus) is a weed prob-lem in many lawns. In home lawnswith warm season grasses (eg.Bermuda, centipede, St. Augustine,and zoysiagrass) a selective herbicidecalled Image applied according tolabel instructions will kill mostspecies of nutsedge without damag-ing the lawn. When used properly,herbicides are a valuable addition tothe tools in the garden shed, butwhen used improperly, they cancause all sorts of problems.

Kill Those Weeds Very Selectively by Charlie Spencer

Nutsedge



One of the things that I havenoticed in my practice is that somany people don't breathe deeply.

As infants we automatically takedeep breaths into our bellies, butsomewhere along the way many ofus begin to breathe more shallowlyand often just fill thetop portion of ourlungs. We may evenhold our breath uncon-sciously. I believe thatmany times this is partof the “fight or flightresponse” that isinduced by stress. Many people livein a state of constant excess stresscausing this shallow breathing pat-tern to become the norm ratherthan a mechanism for self preser-vation.

Deep breathing does severalthings for us. The most importantof these is to supply oxygen richblood to our organs in exchangefor the carbon dioxide that weneed to expel. In Chinese medi-cine, breathing is one of the waysthat we can create qi, the life forcein our body. You might notice thatif you practice some simple breath-ing exercises, you will feel moreenergized afterward. Here arethree you can try just about any-where:

1. Whenever you are stoppedat a traffic light, consciously take anice deep breath into your belly.This is fast, easy and takes no time- and you'll feel better.

2. Put your hands on yourlower abdomen. Breathe in slowly

and gently throughyour nose until yourhands are pushed outby your belly for acount of 7. Slowlyexhale through yourmouth for an addition-al count of seven. Do

this 3 or 4 times and notice how itmakes you feel.

3. Breathe in deeply, like inthe first exercise. Breathe out foras long as you can. When you feellike you are empty, breathe out alittle more, and then a little moreuntil you just have to take anotherbreath. Your next breath will be atotally natural, nice deep breath.

Spring is finally here - breathe itin!

Currently, individuals drive toWilmington for the therapy, which

would require three or more hours oftheir day. Most people choose toforego the treatment option becauseof the time commitment. Set up forthe program costs approximately$70,000. Last year, the St. James

If you have a legal problem and knowyou need a lawyer, the first question thatcomes to mind is "Who do I get?" Here aresome things to look out for while choos-ing the right lawyer for you.

1. HHow ddo II ffind aa llawyer iin tthe ffirst pplace?Your first resource is a lawyer you've used

before, so long as you were satisfied withtheir services. That lawyer may be able tohelp you with your current problem, or atleast refer you to someone who is familiarwith that area of the law.

Many state bars or bar associations havereferral programs that can help you find alawyer in your area. Google the name ofyour state along with the word 'bar' or 'barassociation' to find the website, and thensee if there is a tab for a referral servicewithin the site. Here's the one for NorthCarolina:

Word-of-mouth referrals from peopleyou know can also be valuable. Ask yourfriends and acquaintances if they've everused a lawyer and how satisfied they werewith the results.

Check your local yellow-pages listings aswell. Most yellow pages sections have sub-headings within the 'attorney' section,such as 'divorce', 'real estate', criminal andtraffic', and the like. Even if they don'thandle your type of case, most attorneyskeep a list of attorneys to whom they refercases3. IIs tthe llawyer ffamiliar wwith tthe ttype oof llawthat ccovers yyour pproblem?

The days of 'one size fits all' lawyers arepretty much over. Law practice hasbecome so complex that even countrylawyers have to narrow the scope of theirpractices. You want someone who is eitherthoroughly familiar with they type of lawneeded, or who has the time to catch upvery quickly.4. SShould yyou hhave tto ppay tthe llawyer tto ''catchup' oon tthe llaw?

That depends on the nature of yourcase. Most lawyers should have a goodfoundation in the particular area of law,and you shouldn't have to pay for that gen-eral education. But resarch that bearsmore directly on the facts of your particu-lar case may involve billable time. Yourlawyer will need to be properly armed withrelevant and current case law directly relat-ed to your problem.5. SShould yyou ggo tto aa ''TV' llawyer?

Again, this depends on the nature ofyour case. Most lawyers who advertiseheavily on television handle only personal

injury, medical malpractice, or other suchcases where high-dollar amounts areinvolved and there are insurance compa-nies available to pay the bill if they win.They generally will have quite a bit of expe-rience and may be the best ones to handlethe case if you've been injured by someoneelse. If not, you might want to go to theirwebsite to see if they handle the type ofcase you have.6. WWill yyou bbe aable tto ttalk ddirectly tto tthe llawyer?

Many tasks in larger law firms are han-dled by paralegals and other staff, but youshould always have the opportunity tospeak directly with the lawyer. Your lawyershould be the one who explains majorlegal issues to you. On the other hand,costs can be held down when you dealwith staff on the day-to-day tasks.7. IIs iit iimportant tto kknow tthe llawyer's wwin-llossrecord iin ccourt?

You'd probably want to avoid using alawyer who never wins a case, but the win-loss record doesn't always tell the wholestory. A lawyer with a very high win recordin court may be one who only takes oncases that look like winners from the start.A lawyer who doesn't have such a high winrecord might be one who's willing to takeon more difficult cases that still mighthave a chance. Every case that goes to trialhas one winner and one loser, whichmeans that half the lawyers who take casesto trial lose. (In a later post, we'll talk aboutalternatives to trial.)8. CCan yyou ''fire' aa llawyer?

By all means, if you don't feel that yourlawyer is doing a good job for you, you canget another lawyer. You should expressyour dissatisfaction with the lawyer firstand see if there's a way to fix the relation-ship. Also, it's best not to fire the lawyerright before some imoportant date in thecourse of the trial.

If you do engage another lawyer, be surethat the first one does a proper withdraw-al from the case and that you get your fileback. In North Carolina, the lawyer's ownnotes, etc., are not part of the file thatmust be returned. Also, North Carolinadoes not allow a lawyer to hold your file'hostage' if you haven't paid all the fees.You may be liable for fees due to thelawyer, but you can still retrieve your fileright away.

I hope these suggestions have been help-ful. If you have more questions, please besure to ask.
