THE CREATIVE MIND

BALLSTON SPA - The Saratoga County Historical Society announced the new exhibit The Creative Mind, featuring the work of Karin Volkommer, will open March 7th and run through April 25th. A free reception will be held during Ballston Spas First Friday Celebration at Brookside starting at 5pm. Karin Vollkommer started painting in 1976. After selling a very large miniature-painting fridge magnet business, she began to paint larger prints and collages. When I started to paint again, my style and taste had changed, says Volkom-mer. After completing a special collage cover commemorat-ing the 75th birthday of Saratoga Springs, she opened an-other business, Vintage Daydreams. Twenty years later, the evolution of this business has resulted in over fi fty prints from Karin Vollkommers original paintings that are now in print. Volkommers style has once more changed direction. She continues to be inspired by old photos and local stories, but has turned to making a few of her own. Volkommer has been branching out into a new form of expression, which includes stories and character creations made of felt and clay. A lot of experiments and some 100 animals later I needed an outlet for sales, says Volkommer, explaining her budding success in her new medium. Her nostalgic and locally inspired work will be on display at Brookside from Friday, March 7 through Friday, April 25. For more information, please visit brookside-museum.org or call 518.885.4000.

M&L Scrap and Auto Recycling has been a family owned and oper-ated business since 1950. Formally known as Ed Loyas Auto Parts & Sal-vage, the business has been recently taken over by new owner Mark Guirk

and is now under new, and improved management. Our number one goal at M&L is to best serve you, in any way we possibly can. If there is a part you need were sure to have it, as we are constantly adding to, and updating our inventory of vehicles and parts. If, for some reason, we dont have the part you need, well do our best to get that part to you as quickly and painlessly as possible. Our online database of parts gives us access to thousands of salvage yards nationwide and finding the part you need is our pleasure. We have many plans to come for the future. Later in 2014 we plan to accept any scrap metal as there will be a scale and an area to dump your unwanted metals. You will get cash for your unwanted scrap metal and you will also be recycling. Its a win win for the environment, and your wallet! We will also be dismantling cars as they come in, in order to keep our inventory as large as possible. New cars will be coming in almost every day in order to have the parts you need when you need them!

CALLING ALL MENTORS!CAPITAL DISTRICT - I am I can is a 501(c)3 organization that was created to mentor girls in grades 9 - 12. Programs pro-vide needed encouragement, guidance and advocacy to students as they navigate their high school years and move toward post-graduation goals. We are seeking adult female mentors to work with students on a weekly basis. As a men-tor you would spend time with and get to know your student, while developing a relationship that provides support and guidance. If you are looking for some meaningful volunteer work, this may be for you. This program focuses not as much on job skill mentoring, but more on providing a positive role model in the students life. You will help the student to de-velop core values and encourage young women to discover their dreams, to believe in endless possibilities while empow-ering them to make it happen. The organization is currently looking for mentors in the Clifton Park to Glens Falls areas. Immediate needs are to support girls in Hudson Falls, South Glens Fall, Glens Falls, Shenendehowa, and Ballston Spa school districts. If you have time on a weekly or bi-weekly ba-sis and would like to have a positive impact on a girl in your community, please contact Founder, Avon Scherff at 518-688-3010 ext 102, or email Avon@scherffinsurance.com.

Here in Upstate New York, gardening in the winter comes in the form of fantasy and anticipation. The gardening catalogs continue to arrive in the mailbox. Hours are spent reading about, circling, and ooh-ahhing over the varieties offered. This is the time of year when great plans are made. Its easy to get carried away with all these tempting offerings. Ive found that all these catalogs have another bene t for the home gardener. They provide a wealth of infor-mation. Its a great way for budding gardeners to get an idea of what types of plants they might like in their gardens. To try to sell you, catalogs must provide cultural information along with a sales pitch. This is a great way to get a feel for the growing requirements of different families of plants.

Once our seed packets have been procured, we need a plan for planting them. Many of them can be sown directly into the garden once the weather warms up. Around here, that means June. Considering how short the growing season here is, many of us will opt to start our seed indoors so well be able to enjoy a longer show of owers or larger harvest of vegetables. But how...and when do we start our seeds? This information is almost always included on the packet that the seeds came in. For instance, a marigold pack might say:For best results, start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before planting date. The beginner will say,Yeah, well what day is that? The average date of the last frost in much of Saratoga Co. is May 20th. In the city of Saratoga Springs it may be a week or more later. In Vischers Ferry it may be a bit earlier. Us-ing May 20th as our planting date and counting back, we nd that we should be starting our marigold seeds during the last week of March or the rst week of April.

Considering the great variety of seeds available, it would be impossible to cover all aspects of seed starting in this small space, but I would like to address some of the key concerns.

Always use sterile soil. Soil from outdoors or bagged topsoil is not appropriate for seed starting. The best choice is a light, sterile seed starting mix made from milled sphagnum with vermiculite added. Experienced gardeners will even add a light layer of very ne milled sphagnum over the planted seeds as added insurance against damping off (a fungal disorder that can kill seedlings). This is not the same sphagnum moss you would buy in a bale for outdoor planting, but a very ne STERILE sphagnum produced just for seed starting.

Most seeds need temperatures between 65 and 80 degrees, day and night, to germi-nate. The actual temperature varies for each seed type, so check the seed pack or catalog to be sure. After the seeds sprout, the temperature requirement is generally about 10 degrees lower than the germinating temperature.

The biggest mistake beginners make is underestimating the light requirements of the seedlings. Seeds will often sprout with little or no light, only to op over later due to lack of enough light. Supplemental uorescent lights should be lowered to about 2 above the seed at as soon as the seeds germinate. Then, when the seedlings are about 1/2 tall, move the lights up (or the trays down) so that the bulbs are 4 to 6 above the tops of the plants. As the seedling grow, keep adjusting the lights so the are always 4 to 6 above the tops of the plants. The lights should be on from 12 to 16 hours each day. Timers are available to turn the lights on and off. Using timers insures that the plants receive the same amount of light at the same time each day.

Avoid overwatering. Seeds need moisture to sprout, but young seedlings are suscep-tible to damping-off if kept too moist. Seedlings can tolerate some dryness but will fail quickly if drowned. You should always check the soil before watering. Some gardeners prefer a heavy mist to water their seed ats. If you use this method, make sure that you mist early in the day so the seedlings have a chance to dry before dark. This will lessen the chances of damping-off. I prefer to bottom water by pouring water into the tray containing the potted seedlings. After a few minutes, the soil becomes moist, but the surface of the soil is dry. Ill use a cotton cloth or paper towel to draw excess water up out of the at without tipping it. Whatever method you use, it is vital that the seedling NEVER be left standing in water for a few minutes.

Many gardeners do a great job starting their seedlings indoors only to have them fail when they are moved to the garden. This can often be traced to a lack of hardening off. Seedlings grown indoors under lights need a period in which to become accustomed to real sunlight, wind, and other conditions not found inside. Find a shady, sheltered spot and give the seedlings a few days there. Be aware that they may need more water in this location. If there are cold nights (below 55 degrees), move them in until morning. Gradually move the seedlings to brighter locations until its time to plant them in their permanent home.

Seed starting can be challenging, but well worth the effort. While you can purchase many plants already started at the garden center when spring arrives, many of the more interest-ing varieties will only appear in your garden if you start them yourself. Thanks for the read

LOW INCOME TAXPAYER CLINIC AT LEGAL AID SOCIETY OF NORTHEASTERN NEW YORK

CAPITAL DISTRICT - The LASNNY LITC offers FREE tax help to low income New Yorkers who have a tax problem with the IRS. For example, if you got a letter or notice from the IRS that you dont understand or a bill from the IRS that you dont think you owe or that you cant pay, or if you were denied an Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) you thought you should have got-ten, we may be able to help. The EITC could reduce your tax bill or even get you a refund if you qualify. You may be able to get the EITC if you have qualifying children and your earned in-come falls under a certain limit. This limit ranges from $37,870 up to $51,567 in 2013 depend-ing on your filing status and number of children. Workers without children who had 2013 incomes below $14,340 ($19,680 for a married couple filing jointly) may also receive a very small EITC benefit. To qualify, a child must live with you for more than half the year. A son or daughter, grandchild, younger brother or sister, or niece or nephew, may be a qualifying child. The child must be younger than 19 (or 24 if they are a full time student) or permanently and totally disabled. Only one person can claim a child for EITC each year. Other age, residence, and filing requirements must be met. You must file a tax return and claim the credit to get the EITC, even if you dont otherwise have to file. If the IRS denies your claim for the EITC and you dont understand why, you may want to talk to an accountant or an attorney. The LASNNY LITC can be reached at (518) 462-6765 or (800) 462-2922, Monday through Friday, 9am 5pm.

RECENTLY RETIRED AND LOOKING FOR MEANINGFUL VOLUNTEER WORK?

SARATOGA REGION - I am I can is a 501(c)3 organization that was created to mentor girls in grades 9-12. Programs provide needed encouragement, guidance and advocacy to stu-dents as they navigate their high school years and move toward post-graduation goals. We are seeking adult female mentors to work with students on a weekly basis. As a mentor you would spend time with and get to know your student, while developing a relationship that provides support and guidance. If you are a recently retired woman looking for some mean-ingful volunteer work, this may be for you. This program focuses not as much on job skill mentoring, but more on providing a positive role model in the students life. You will help the student to develop core values and encourage young women to discover their dreams, to believe in endless possibilities while empowering them to make it happen. The organization is currently looking for mentors in the Clifton Park to Glens Falls areas. Immediate needs are to support girls in Hudson Falls, South Glens Fall, Glens Falls and Ballston Spa school districts. If you have time on a weekly or bi-weekly basis and would like to have a positive impact on a girl in your community, please contact Founder, Avon Scherff at 518-688-3010 ext 102, or email Avon@scherffinsurance.com.
