The Coffee Bean shop is more than just a place to get good coffee
The timing of this article is terrific for The Coffee Bean shop of Central City. Why, you might ask. Because on June 20th they celebrated three years in business and are very happy about that accomplishment. The itty bitty coffee shop in a parking lot on Highway 30 and across the street from Central City Mall is the answer to a long dream held by the three Central City owners Nancy and Tom Wagner and Chad Juviden. They were excited to start the business and continue to be pleased by how it is clearly succeeding. The way you know that business is good is by trying to take a photo of the place without cars blocking the view. Recently I found that was nearly impossible!

Hell no, Baby Alex won't go
Have you seen the Baby Alex political ad that the radical-left, George Soros-funded organization "MoveOn" has produced? To some, it plays like a Saturday Night Live skit, but the intent is deadly serious: to damage John McCain.
Oil and Trouble
The gas station guy in my town is exhausted from climbing the ladder every day in order to change the price sign. Of course, it's up, up and away. High gas prices, I predict, will become the biggest issue in the presidential campaign.

Use the right product, at the right rate, at the right time, on the right plant - Part 3, Insects
Did you know that there are over 1,000,000 insect species that have been described by entomologists? Do you know how many of these are actually garden pests? According to a University of Wisconsin Extension Horticulture Educator, less than 100 are actually garden pests. As reported last week, only 3% of all insects are destructive and not all of the bad insects are found in the garden. The other 97% of the insects can probably be classified as follows:

ONLY 3% OF INSECTS ARE DESTRUCTIVE? I was listening to a garden show on TV when the host asked the guest entomologist if this statement is true. The entomologist said it was.
