Bill Finch answers gardening questions
Q: Of late I have been having a problem that perhaps you can help me with, perhaps not. You see, for the last couple of weeks I have only been able to receive P. Allen Smith and other floral-related programming on my television, all with a purplish hue, to the point I'm beginning to feel like a bloomin' idiot! Could the problem possibly be with my dish antenna? Take a look at this photo and tell me what you think. I value your opinion. A: P. Allen Smith, of course, is a little too dandy to make use of the latest garden fashion sweeping the South. But there must be thousands of abandoned dish antennas in Alabama just begging to find a higher use. I used my dad's discarded dish antenna to make the roof of a chicken coop, but I can imagine a very attractive satellite dish gazebo surrounded by used-tire planters (Felder Rushing, the ball is in your court).

The Army has been given the green light to offer retention bonuses of $20,000 to selected captains in return for a three-year service commitment. The special incentive is believed to be the first of its kind ever offered commissioned officers. Implementing guidance such as eligibility rules and application procedures had not been finalized by press time. However, sources indicated earlier that senior leaders want to launch the program May 1. When approved, implementation details will be announced by the officer directorate of Human Resources Command in a worldwide message. Called a Critical Skills Retention Bonus, the incentive is similar to the bonuses available to senior NCOs and warrant officers in high-priority specialties and career fields.
