George Batts, 91, picks a bucket of okra and a dozen or so green peppers from his garden in East Kansas City. “The key to retirement is staying active. I don’t have to exercise, I get it here,” George says. “This is great, too, for being on a fi xed income. We don’t have to buy anything. My freezer is full. I had 70 pounds of tomatoes in my garage one time this summer. I share with a lot with the seniors at my church.”

George’s garden is one of 90 plots available through Kansas City’s Community Gardens Self-Help for Low Income Households program.

GrowYOUR LAWN AND GARDEN SOURCE

BY JERRY MOORE

Grass Pad

It was July of 1977 and I had just

watched Tom Watson hold off

Jack Nicklaus at Turnberry. He

had red hair and so did I. He could

make eight-footers and so could

I. He was showing Jack the rock-

ing chair just like I was going to

do to Tom.

Two weeks later, James He-

garty beat me in the club cham-

pionship by 6 strokes. I realized

if I was going to stay around the

game of golf I’d better get bet-

ter at growing grass. I have been

mowing greens and changing

cups on golf courses since I was

12. Green grass and golf are in my

blood.Back in those good old days if

you grew the grass thick enough

the weeds couldn’t squeeze in. If

the grass wasn’t thick enough, you

planted more seed and you fertil-

ized it every month until it was.

The best advice I ever got on

growing grass came a long time

ago. It came from the old man on

the corner, Mr. Schlonga. His yard

was always perfect. He taught

me the difference between green

and dark green.

Forty years ago he said, “Buy

good seed. If it’s got creeping red

or annual ryegrass in it, that’s

just fi ller. Seed it thick and you

won’t have to buy weed killers.

While you’re at it, fertilize too!

Don’t use that stuff your dad puts

on his sweet corn, put lawn fer-

tilizer on and you won’t have to

mow as much.”

Turns out, that advice is still

true today: Do it right the fi rst

time.High-quality turf grass seed

does not have fi llers or fl uff in

the bag. Grass seed should be 98

percent pure and 99.99 percent

weed-free. Don’t presume fancy-

branded bags are all pure grass

seed. Some are half full with peat

moss and other inert matter. That

makes expensive seed and expen-

sive peat moss.

High-value grass seed mixes

like Estate Mix, Macho Mix, and

Overtime are all grass seeds with

no fi ller. Remember, the magic is

in the grass seed, not in the fi ller.

Lawn fertilizers like Golf

Course Starter and Loveland

Renovator are formulated for turf

grass, not for corn or soybeans.

Healthy green grass needs the

micro nutrients and the slow re-

lease fertilizer that professional

golf course formulas provide.

Just like the golf course, the

green grass in your lawn needs

that old-fashioned secret. Plant it

thick, feed it well and choke out

bare spots.

Once you get your lawn good

and thick you can put PREVENT!

down to control crabgrass. If a

dandelion slips in every now and

then you can control it with Love-

land Weed N Feed.

Remember what the old man

on the corner said. “If it’s not

perfect, plant some more seed

and fertilize it.” You don’t have

to listen to every expert on the

airwaves with a new plan. You’ll

know you’re there when you’re

sitting in that lawn chair in the ga-

rage, and folks walk up the drive

way and ask, “Excuse me, but

what do you do to your lawn?”

GUEST COLUMNISTSEED AND FEED | When it comes to grass, do it right the fi rst time

BY MIKE FITZGERALD

Grow writer

When Kathy Pemberton looks back

on last year’s fi rst growing sea-

son at the 18Broadway gardens,

she thinks about tomatoes.

Not just any tomatoes. They were, in

some respects, orphan tomatoes.

“We sort of inherited a group of little

plants, and these tomato plants were re-

ally, really small,” said Pemberton, the

garden coordinator for DST Systems,

which owns the 18Broadway project in

downtown Kansas City.

“They were from a stand – you know

how these little stands open in the spring

and summer time and they sell things?

And these plants were the ones they

weren’t going to be able to sell because

they were closing down for the season

because it was the Fourth of July. So we

somehow inherited these plants.

“We did go ahead and plant some of

these tomatoes, and it was just amazing

to me. I wouldn’t say that they actually

thrived but they eventually did take hold,

even being planted that late in the sea-

son. They yielded – they gave us toma-

toes!”In a way, that’s what 18Broadway is

about. Much more than a community

garden, 18Broadway is a square block

from 18th to 19th streets between Broad-

way and Central that is a living labora-

tory for sustainable water and energy

practices, growing food and providing

shelter. A fi nancial services fi rm, DST

Systems transformed that vacant down-

town block it owned into what looks like

a community garden with walking paths

winding through it.

However, there is much more go-

ing on there, some of which is not eas-

ily seen. Specially-designed curbs help

capture rain water runoff and direct it

into swales of grasses that fi lter out pol-

lutants. That water eventually ends up in

a 40,000-gallon underground cistern,

where it can be reused in the gardens.

A wind turbine powers the perimeter

lighting, and solar panels make electric-

ity and send it back to the grid, helping

make the project energy-neutral.

The project is free and open to the

public, giving gardeners a good look at

the wide diversity of vegetables and oth-

er plants that can be grown in the Kansas

City area.

18Broadway is not the company’s

fi rst garden project, but its scope makes

it different from the production gardens

that are staffed by DST volunteers at

10th Street and Jefferson Avenue and at

51st and Main streets.

Because construction at the 18Broad-

way site last year didn’t allow any plant-

ing until early June, Pemberton knew

she was missing all of the spring growing

season and, accordingly, kept her expec-

tations in check.

“(The plants) did what you would

expect them to do for crops that were

planted in the middle of June that should

have been planted in the middle of May,”

she said. “They were doing well by Sep-

tember. The fall stuff did fabulous. The

lettuces got huge, the cabbages, the

broccoli – all the fall crops.”

For the most part, 18Broadway con-

tains two different gardening areas. The

upper section (the block drops downhill

diagonally from the corner of 18th and

Broadway to 19th and Central) is the

demonstration garden that features con-

tainer plantings and some raised beds.

Much of the remainder of the growing

area is terraced and consists of 4-foot

by 12-foot raised beds. Last year, there

were 71 raised planters and beds at

18Broadway. This year, they hope to add

about 25 more 4x12 beds. Most of the

4x12 raised beds are for single crops and

are in 18Broadway’s heavy food produc-

tion area.

Almost everything grown at 18Broad-

way is edible and is donated to Harvest-

ers, a Kansas City clearinghouse for

collecting and distributing food. Even

with an abbreviated growing season and

not all of its raised beds in production,

18Broadway sent about 1,400 pounds of

food to Harvesters last year, Pemberton

said.The demonstration garden shows

three different ways – in-ground, con-

tainer and raised beds – that home gar-

deners can approach vegetable garden-

ing, Pemberton said. It also puts into

practice the idea of edible landscaping

– growing plants that are both attractive

and can also be eaten.

Another idea explored in the demon-

stration garden is showing the wide va-

riety of plants that can be grown in this

area.“Like peanuts, for example,” Pem-

berton said. “They are pretty, they have

lovely yellow fl owers. They are a lovely

little plant, and when you pull them out

of the ground, you’ll have some peanuts

you can eat.”

Just a few of the many plants grown

in the demonstration area that were

both edible and attractive included okra,

which had a red stalk and a hibiscus-like

fl ower; a Yellow Doll watermelon, Bright

Lights Swiss Chard, which has multicol-

ored stems; tomatillos, which are used in

salsa; a purple-fl owering oregano, yellow

nasturtiums, Cherokee purple tomatoes

and Lemon Boy, a true yellow tomato.

Pemberton advised home gardeners

to check which plants grow well in con-

tainers before trying them. She also said

containers should be roomy enough for

the mature plant and should drain well.

Sweet potatoes did particularly well in

containers last season, she said.

“If someone is looking for something

pretty out of a container – that’s really

pretty,” she said. “It’s also a great crop

for people who don’t have a lot of time to

mess with things. You just plant them in

May. And that’s what really makes them

nice, if you are into no-maintenance gar-

dening. They have a nice yield.”

Pemberton said that stevia, the leaves

of which can be used as a sweetener, did

well last year, as did a hybrid spinach

mustard, some Melody spinach and Ca-

nasta lettuce. A hardy kiwi was trellised

on a shed last fall.

This year, Pemberton said she would

like to try cotton and some upland rice,

just to add more diversity to the demon-

stration area plantings.

The other main section of the garden

is the heavy-production area that con-

tains the raised beds of single crops. Last

year, the raised beds were fi nished just in

time for fall production. Pemberton said

the lettuces, spinach, cabbage and broc-

coli did very well, however.

This season, she wants to add three

or four beds of asparagus. By the end of

the year, Pemberton hopes they will be

able to donate about a ton of produce to

Harvesters.

Advances in targeted breast cancer treatments are saving women’s lives.

They’ve helped three generations of a Missouri family, who each received a breast cancer diagnosis, including two women within the same year.

First, Joan Hall of Blue Springs was diagnosed with cancer six years ago when she was 82. Next, her daughter, Jan Barnhart, 63, of Grain Valley, was diagnosed last year. Finally, Barnhart’s 40-year-old daughter, Jenny Parish of Blue Springs, was diagnosed in May.

In all cases, the women’s breast can-cer treatment was specifi cally targeted at their tumor markers, the cancer’s size and stage, as well as their age and other factors.

Surprisingly, genetic testing re-vealed that neither Barnhart nor Par-ish have abnormal BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes, Barnhart said.

“Both my daughter and I had BRCA testing and it was negative,” Barnhart said. “So it’s really strange that all three of us have had it. It’s impor-tant for women to realize they aren’t home free if they don’t have the abnormal genes.”

BRCA1 and BRCA2 are human

Fever:

Seniors get into the game

BY JACQUIE LEHATTO

SPECIAL SECTIONS CONTRIBUTING WRITER

It was tough to tell who was having

more fun on a recent morning at Matt

Ross Community Center in Overland

Park: the four teams of doubles play-

ing pickleball in the center’s gym or the

dozen people waiting their turn to play.

Conversation in the bleachers is as lively

and upbeat as the play on the courts.

Despite rounds of wicked winter

weather, pickleball has been a big hit

lately for the over-60 set at the commu-

nity center because, as the players will

tell you, it is hard to be down when you

have a pickleball paddle in your hand.

Charlie Droste, 66, of Lenexa, is a

regular at Matt Ross. Until a few years

ago, Droste had never heard of pickle-

ball. “I go, pickleball? What’s that?” he

said. “But I came here and I could not

leave the place.”

Marilyn Cordill, 65, of Shawnee, is

one of the newer players. She started in

October.

“It’s helping me lose weight,” said

Cordill, who has lost about 20 pounds

in the last three months.

At the end of each pickleball game, players meet at the net and touch paddles.

From left are Clark Hay, Mick Dale, Rob Moritz and Charlie Droste.

ADVERTISING SPECIAL SECTION TO THE KANSAS CITY STAR TUESDAY, JANUARY 11, 2011 | C9MBA & EDUCATION

BY CHRISTEN EVERETTSpecial Sections contributing writerToday’s business world is a global village. National bor-ders no longer exist because of the growing globalization of the economy, increasing trade among nations and greater in-teraction between countries, said Nicolas Koudou, Ph.D.,

professor of business adminis-tration and director of the mas-ter of business administration program for Park University.Because of these factors, global education has become a vital piece to most MBA pro-grams.“As a result of this global-ization, we no longer have the luxury to ignore this trend,” Koudou said. “That’s why Park University has a concentration in international business within our MBA program, to keep up with the trend of globaliza-tion.”

Dee Steinle, MBA program director for the University of Kansas, said international busi-ness is an important focus of the KU MBA. In addition to of-fering a concentration in inter-national business, the program also requires a one-credit-hour seminar course for all MBA stu-dents. “We believe it is important all students have exposure to this topic,” she said. “Beyond this, we offer study-abroad courses in various lengths and intensity to meet the needs of all students. Our part-time stu-dents are big enthusiasts of our 1-2 week short study abroad opportunities. Nearly 50 per-cent of the MBA students study abroad.”

Steinle said in today's econ-omy, all business is global. Each region and country of the world operates according to varying customs and practices in busi-ness. Understanding these com-plexities is essential for success in the global environment.The Bloch Executive MBA program at the University of Missouri-Kansas City has ac-knowledged the importance of incorporating global educa-tion into its curriculum from its inception, said Joan Gallos, professor of leadership and di-rector for the Executive MBA program.

Preparation can make family ski time more enjoyable

SKIING

PAID ADVERT IS ING SUPPLEMENT TO THE KANSAS C ITY STAR | SUNDAY, JANUARY 16, 2011

Skiing with the family can be a great bonding vacation but it can also take some extra time and planning.

If you are renting equipment at the ski slope, consider renting it the night before. The rental shops are very busy in the mornings, and outfit-ting an entire family with boots, skis, helmets, boards and other equipment can take a lot of time that could have been spent on the slopes.

Consider lodging near the slopes and enjoy the experience of ski in/ski out. It is convenient and also a major time-saver.

Book kids programs in advance. At the most popular family ski destinations, the kid pro-grams often fill quickly.

If you are willing to spend a little more, look for “Fresh Tracks” programs that allow slope access early in the mornings. For special ser-vices that will provide added comfort and time savings, consider staying at a resort that has a ski valet or concierge service that will have all of your gear ready for you.

When everyone is comfortable on the slopes, the outing is more enjoyable for all.

For the young skier, make sure they start out wearing a helmet. The practice will become a habit.
