| + | <html>Flowers are still blooming in Munsinger Gardens and Clemens Gardens, despite recent hot,[http://www.cheapsalejerseys.com/dallas-cowboys-c-598_641 Cheap Dallas Cowboys Jerseys on sale], dry weather. | ||
| + | Gardeners are watering the hundreds of flowers in the St. Cloud gardens. | ||
| + | The rose garden and others have drip irrigation watering systems, said Scott Zlotnik,[http://www.cheapsalejerseys.com/ Wholesale NFL Jerseys Pro Shop],[http://www.xinlingjiaoyi.com/x/home.php?mod=space&uid=609525 ], city park and recreation director. | ||
| + | ?We?re keeping them alive,? Zlotnik said. ?These things have been watered all summer long.? | ||
| + | In previous years, the gardeners have worked on other gardening tasks throughout the city because Munsinger and Clemens jobs were under control. | ||
| + | This year, watering the two gardens is taking priority, Zlotnik said. The beauty of the gardens makes the attraction popular. | ||
| + | Workers will continue to keep the plants alive until the first frost. According to the National Climatic Data Center, St. Cloud has a 90 percent probability of hitting 32 degrees by Oct. 3.</html> | ||

| + | == Got Giant African Land Snails- Release The Hounds! == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>Credit Sammy Mack / WLRN Will sniff snails for treats: Bear,[http://www.cheapsalejerseys.com/dallas-cowboys-c-598_641 Cheap Dallas Cowboys Jerseys on sale], a three-year-old black lab, is being trained to follow the scent of giant African land snails. | ||
| + | In the ongoing assault on invasive giant African land snails,[http://doblajemexicano.com.mx/sitio/index.php?title=Usuario:Avmfyjpbsd#Ghgt_Spy_School_Pop_Up_Event Ghgt Spy School Pop Up Event], Florida is ready to release the hounds. | ||
| + | Literally. | ||
| + | The state will be adding snail-sniffing dogs to its team of 50 full-time snail hunters. | ||
| + | |||
| + | At a press conference in Douglas Park on Thursday, state and local officials updated a dozen or so reporters on the state of the snail invasion. So far, the human snail hunters have killed more than 128,000 of the pests. | ||
| + | Sightings of the snails are down, but Florida isn’t claiming victory yet. The last time Florida had a giant African land snail problem was in the 1960's. That intervention netted 17,000 dead snails and took nine years. | ||
| + | LISTEN: Giant African Land Snails? Release The Hounds! | ||
| + | Enter snail-sniffing detector dogs like Bear, a three-year-old black lab who joined officials at the podium. | ||
| + | As state agriculture commissioner Adam Putnam pointed out, a “dog will pick up specimens that perhaps the human eye missed.” | ||
| + | You can watch video of Bear’s snail training: | ||

| + | <html>There are positive and negative signs in this case. On the one hand,[http://www.newbroncosjerseys.net/denver-broncos-jersey-wes-welker-jersey-shop-1_7 Wes Welker Jersey], Flynn's fastball was effective enough to get plenty of swings and misses when hitters swung, as an 18.2 percent mark would be acceptable for a relatively flat fastball with that kind of velocity. The bad news is that all of the well-hit balls allowed by Flynn came on those very pitches, as only two other pitches were hit for base hits and only three other pitches total were put in play. The Cubs were able to put Flynn's fastball into play, and a few times that fastball was hit hard. | ||
| + | |||
| + | As for his breaking pitches,[http://www.newbroncosjerseys.net/denver-broncos-jersey-chris-kuper-jersey-shop-1_13 Chris Kuper Jersey], it looked as though they were manageable. He was unable to place his sliders in the strike zone for called strikes, but he made up for it in part by getting whiffs on the swings the Cubs offered. The slider still needs to be good enough to get the occasional seeing strike, as the pitch is not yet touted as unhittable and would be at its most effective versus lefties. Only one right-hander missed a slider,[http://wiki.mikrotik.net.pl/wiki/U%C5%BCytkownik:Ajnpxuirhm#World_aid_workers_in_Syria_remain_committed.2C_despite_threat World aid workers in Syria remain committed, despite threat], and most watched them dip well below the zone. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The curveball and changeup are going to be important offerings for Flynn if he is to continue in a starting role. Hitters were not swinging at the pitch, but he was able to sneak some of them past Cubs righties for strikes. None of those 12 pitches were put into play either, which is a good thing. However, we had too little a sample to determine which of those two offerings may be better. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Early Conclusions | ||
| + | It is obviously too early to make strong conclusions about Flynn, but it is obvious he has areas for work. He needs to find ways to better utilize either his tertiary offerings or his slider versus righties, as the pitch was not effective in that respect. His fastball was the most sampled pitch, and there are definite questions about its ability to maintain velocity. The tertiary pitches may hold some promise, though which one is too hard to tell. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Flynn will get at least three more chances to start with the Marlins replacing Jose Fernandez in the rotation soon, so the Fish and their fans will get a month to evaluate the merits of Brian Flynn. He may still answer some of our questions of today.</html> | ||

| + | == 2 local artists, 1 gallery == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>Two local artists will present an exhibit for the months of September and October at Gallery on Main in Cold Spring. | ||
| + | Sister Sharon Waldoch has been painting since the early ?90s; always fascinated with artwork, she began working with a mentor and took brush to paper. | ||
| + | For many years, Waldoch worked under artist Betty Brown. She?s focused on a variety of subject matter, including minimalist landscapes and flowers. Most of her work, she said, has a somewhat abstract feel to it. | ||
| + | Recently, Waldoch began painting on birch, but she specializes in watercolor on paper. | ||
| + | ?It surprises you,? she said. ?If you?re working on wet paper and you put the colors on, they?ll go in a variety of directions, and what you had in your mind changes into some other shape or colorful rendition of what you thought you were going to paint.? | ||
| + | For the 10-piece exhibit, Waldoch used a variety of techniques to add texture to her work, placing gauze and plastic wrap on the wet images to give them a mottled effect. | ||
| + | In the same exhibit,[http://www.newbroncosjerseys.net/denver-broncos-jersey-chris-kuper-jersey-shop-1_13 Chris Kuper Jersey], Mary Ann Dietman will display her works. Also a watercolor artist, Dietman focuses on creating scenes ? a lighthouse, a winter landscape, a vintage barn and blooming sunflowers. | ||
| + | At 87,[http://www.newbroncosjerseys.net/denver-broncos-jersey-von-miller-jersey-shop-1_6 Von Miller Jersey], she?s been painting nearly 20 years, starting shortly before her husband died. Though she?s taken a few informal art classes,[http://5124340.de.strato-hosting.eu/tsgwiki/index.php?title=Benutzer:Acgjbpabwa#2_local_artists.2C_1_gallery 2 local artists, 1 gallery], she said she prescribes to the idea that artists should do whatever they feel works for them. | ||
| + | ?There are no set rules,? she said. | ||
| + | The works of Waldoch and Dietman will be on display at the gallery at 527 Main St. in Cold Spring.</html> | ||
