The Kansas Sites Board of Review met on February 21 to review nomination of 4 Lawrence neighborhoods plus downtown to the National Register of Historic Places. East Lawrence has two districts that are up for nomination: North Rhode Island includes properties between 7th and 12 Street with a few in the 1200 block, South Rhode Island includes most of the 1200 and 1300 block as well as the 1300 block of New Hampshire. Both East Lawrence Districts were approved for submission to the National Registry, and once the applications are reviewed by the State Historic Preservation Officer they will be forwarded to the National Park Service. Once there, a final decision is expected within 3 to 6 months. What does this mean for you? It could mean several things. One goal of historic registry within the East Lawrence neighborhood is to minimize the impact of the downtown's development. Another is to enhance and maintain the architectural significance of East Lawrence. This is accomplished by eligibility of tax credits for those properties that are deemed contributing to the flavor of East Lawrence. For information on whether your property is eligible and what types of credits are available, call Aimee at 832-0232. The proposed National Register Districts are the result of a process that began in 2001 from interested individuals and neighborhoods. A grant was secured from the Kansas State Historical Society in 2002 to research and prepare nominations for five districts in Lawrence. Sign-up for Community Garden Plot Spring is only a few weeks away, and now is the time to begin thinking about your gardening plans for the year.

Workshops Being Offered on Basics of Growing Food The Kansas/Missouri Growing Growers Program is offering its first two indepth, single-subject workshops this spring, as part of a goal to expand marketgarden production in the Kansas City "food shed" - the land within 100 miles of the greater metropolitan area. "Soil Building for Vegetable and Fruit Crops" will be March 6 from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Lansing, Kan., 4-H Building. "Plant Production for the Vegetable Grower" will be April12 from 4 pm. to 7 p.m. at the St. Clair County Library in Osceola, Mo. "The training part of our program is designed to help people learn what they need to know to get into producing organic, sustainably grown fresh foods. We're targeting both existing and aspiring growers," said Ted Carey, program coordinator and an Olathe-based Kansas State University Research and Extension horticulturist. The workshops also are open to the public. "Advanced home gardeners and horticultural retailers might also be interested in learning more about this approach to growing food crops," Carey said. The series that the two workshops introduce will be led by experienced growers, plus faculty from K-State and the University of Missouri-Columbia. Most of the sessions will include a related farm visit. Workshop registration information is on the Web (btlp;/lwww,gmwlnggmw?Jl?,_Q_rgi). Additional information is available by calling 913-488-1270 ore-mailing <grqw~.r~@k~l.J ,e9_l.J>. Good soils are the basis for growing any organic, sustainable crop. So, they were a natural as the workshop series' lead topic, Carey said. The first workshop will cover: * The basics of soils and soil tests, * The microscopic creatures that help create healthy soil, *The management practices that affect the availability of soil nutrients, and *Making and using compost and "compost tea." The day-long session will end with a tour of a soil-building program in operation at Paul Conway's Leavenworth, Kan., market-garden farm. The cost for attending, including lunch, is $30 in advance and $33 on March 6. April's late-afternoon workshop on growing vegetable crops will cover the basics of getting horticultural plants started, as well as provide insights on how to select top-selling varieties and how to develop a season-long production calendar. It will conclude with a tour of Bear Creek Farm, an Osceola, Mo., certified-organic market garden that produces vegetables, fruits and herbs in a greenhouse, six "high tunnels" and five acres of land. Registration for the vegetable workshop is $15 in advance and $18 on April12. **************************************************************** Growing Growers is planning other workshops for each month through 2004, according to program manager Katherine Kelly.
