INSIDE LINCOLN CORRESPONDENT

A lthough St. Joseph’sDay on March 19 isoften eclipsed by St.

Patrick’s Day, it remainsan important day forparishioners of St. JosephCatholic Church.

The church on Oak TreeLane is named for thissaint, venerated by Roman Catholics as thepatron of their universalchurch, family fathers,carpenters and social jus-

tice.The annual feast day is also celebrated by the

Anglican community andLutheran Church.

Italian-Americans at-tach special importanceto St. Joseph’s Day, partic-ularly those with roots inSicily where some consid-er him as important as St.Patrick in Ireland.

St. Joseph has been cit-ed as answering prayersof Medieval Sicily to endone of their legendary droughts. Festivals, pa-

rades and processions are widely held in Italy to cel-

ebrate the day.In Lincoln this year, a

commemorative Mass onSunday, March 18 will cel-ebrate the feast day andcoincide with the fifthanniversary of the new church building.

Although the church isone of the newest struc-tures in Lincoln, its her-itage dates back to 1877

when the first St. Joseph’sChurch was built just

south of First and F St.,according to church

sources.Feasting is a popular

means of celebrating St.Joseph’s Day, often withrestaurants preparing special menus for theoccasion.

In Lincoln, BuonarrotiRistorante will offer a spe-cial menu on March 19,featuring cannelloni andother Italian delicacies,according to owner andChef Daniel Alcantaro.

St. Patrick’sDay seemsto bring

out the Irish inus. And on that singleday of the year -March 17 - more of us are Irish than onany other day of the year.

So, who was St.Patrick? Did hechase the snakes

out of Ireland? And why do wecelebrate his hol-iday with cornedbeef and cab-

bage and anabundant flow of spir-

its?First, some history. St.

Patrick was born inBritain, allegedly to wealthy parents near the

end of the fourth cen-tury. He reportedly

died on March 17, in the

later part of the fifth cen-tury. Scholars differ as tothe exact year.

Captured by Irishraiders at the age of 16, he was transported back toIreland where he was keptfor approximately six

years. After escaping, he journeyed back to Britain where he studied tobecome a Christian mis-sionary.

After ordination, he wassent back to Ireland tominister to the Christians

there and to make new converts. Patrick’s popu-larity may have stemmedfrom his conversionmethods, which includedincorporating traditionalIrish culture and ritualinto his services.

Examples cited includ-ed using bonfires to cele-brate Easter because theIrish were accustomed tohonoring their pagangods with fire.

He is also credited with

superimposing the sun, apowerful Irish symbol

onto the Christian cross,creating what is now called the Celtic cross.

Some would note thatbecause the Irish culturecarries a rich tradition of oral legend and myth,

some fanciful exaggera-tion of the saint’s life over

the centuries was to beexpected.

For example, it’s notlikely that Ireland everhad any snakes for Patrick to cast out. Rather, it hasbeen suggested that the

snake-banishment talesrelated to Druids andtheir serpent symbolism.

As Patrick gained con-verts, the Druids becameless prominent in Irishlife, thus the banishmentmetaphor. And it makes agood story as well.

And why is corned beef and cabbage a St. Patrick’sDay staple? Let’s note forthe record that cornedbeef is an Irish dish. Butit’s never been oneenjoyed by the majority.

Records show the beef was not a significant partof most Irish diets untilthe 1900s. Corned beef and cabbage earnedmuch of its popularity as

an Irish-American dish bornduring the massive Irish migra-tions in the mid-nineteenthcentury. A consensus emerges

that Irish immigrants reaching American shores soon foundthat relatively inexpensive cutsof beef could be made moretender and flavorful by brining them and then slow-cooking the beef with cabbage for sever-al hours.

And why so much drinking? Again, accounts vary with many chalking it up to Irish tradition -a debatable notion as I’m suremy German as well as Irish

ancestors enjoyed a pint or two without regard to ethnic back-ground.

In Lincoln, expect restaurantsto offer an abundance of thetraditional corned beef andcabbage washed down withcopious amount of your favorite

adult beverage.The newly redecorated and

just reopened Meridians restau-rant in Lincoln Hills will be one

such venue.The Sterling Cafe in the Ster-ling Pointe shopping center onHighway 65 and Awful Annie’sat 490 G St. are just two otherLincoln restaurants that willfeature the classic corned beef and cabbage. Awful Annie’s willalso have corned beef harsh as abreakfast special.

Dillian’s Bar and Grill at 605 GSt. will have music and enter-tainment to go along with its

corned beef and cabbage spe-cials. And you can expect somegreen beer and Irish whisky toliven up the atmosphere.

St. Patrick’s Day is party day for Irish and Irish wannabees.Eat, drink responsibly and enjoy the festivities.

Consumer debt is ris-ing again, according to the latest monthly

Federal Reserve report.

That sends mixed signalsto analysts, consumersand merchants.

Revolving credit, whichis mostly credit-card debt,

jumped at an annual rateof 4.1 percent in Decem-ber. That marked thefourth straight monthly increase, sharply revers-ing recession-induceddeclines in previousmonths.

Opinions are mixed asto whether the trend ispositive or cautionary.Merchants may see theincreased spending as abenefit, pumping salesthat have been ham-mered since the econom-

ic downturn began. Butother financial experts arecautioning that this couldmean that consumers arecontinuing to strugglefinancially and are relying on credit cards to bridgethe gaps.

Although 2012 usheredin some modest increasesin wages tied to the con-sumer price index, overall

wage growth has beensluggish. With unemploy-ment at historically highlevels and gasoline prices

rising sharply, Lincolnconsumers would be welladvised to get theirspending under control.

Guidelines used by mortgage lenders can beuseful in analyzing yourdebt profile. Most wouldagree that a 36 percent-or-less total debt-to-income ratio is accept-able. Debt that includesall monthly long-termbills, including mortgagepayments, should notexceed 36 percent of yourmonthly gross income.

Ratios in the 37 to 42percent range are border-line acceptable. Neverthe-less, you should see a cau-tion flag waving here. At43 to 49 percent, you willlikely find yourself in dis-tress and the impulse to

overuse the credit cardmay become irresistible.

And, if your debt level ris-es above 50 percent, you

are in serious trouble call-ing for aggressive meas-ures to reduce your debt.

Our cautions of the pastbear repeating. Responsi-ble spending behaviorincludes paying off creditcard monthly balances. If holiday spending caused

you to pick up a carry-forward balance, takeaggressive measures now to implement a payment

plan to reduce that bal-ance as quickly as possi-ble.

Plan for a worst-casescenario and give yourself some room to maneuverfinancially in the coming

year.

A

lthough March 20 is

the official beginning of the next season, weneed not wait for the offi-cial date to begin spring cleaning. And whilecleaning out the closetsand the garage, and put-ting away the heavy sweaters, don’t neglectthe gardens and land-scapes around us.

There is no shortage of spring cleaning checklists

available on the Internet.That’s a wheel or series of

wheels we won’t try toreinvent. Go online andsearch on spring cleaning or spring cleaning check-lists. You’ll be over-

whelmed.But there’s an area that

receives little treatmentbut deserves more. Mostof us love a nice land-scape around our homes.

But this is an area wheremore is not necessarily

better.

Let me explain. The ear-ly years of the last decadesaw explosive growth inLincoln with hundreds of new houses and severalthousand new residents.Those houses are now afew years older and thetrees and shrubs thatadorn the exteriors havegrown, many beyond thepoint where they addgrace and charm.

In a word, many havebecome overgrown andit’s time to cut them back or, in some cases, replacethem.

With the last decadeunder your belt, now

would be a good time tothink seriously aboutredesigning that land-scape. It need not be any-thing lavish. Modest

works. But examine that

dwarf shrub you pur-chased a few years ago.

And if it’s reaching basket-

ball rim height, you might want to rethink its useful-ness to your environ-ment.

Have a messy or dis-eased tree? You mightconsider replacing it. Butask the professionals totake it down for you.

Arborists and other treeprofessionals have theknow-how and equip-ment to do the job safely

and quickly.This columnist had a

large but sick Eucalyptustree removed by tree pro-fessionals recently. They arrived at 7:30 a.m. with alarge truck and chipper intow. Within 30 minutes,the tree was gone and

only the stump remained.The stump grinding

sub-contractor arrived

later in the day and took another 30 or so minutesto grind down andremove the stump, leav-ing a nice deep hole for areplacement shrub ortree. And, lest you betempted to rent thestump-grinder and do the

job yourself, don’t. They are incredibly dangerousmachines best left to theprofessionals.

And that lawn in frontand back. Thirsty, isn’t it?

Well, water rates aren’tgoing down anytime soonso think about pulling some or all of it up andreplacing it with a few col-orful plants or ground-cover with decorative

bark covering the remain-der. Convert your water-ing to drip and you’ll be

saving water and dollarsand you’ll become theecological leader in yourneighborhood.

As the economy improves, more home-owners are feeling thefreedom to open their

wallets to upgrade orchange their landscaping,according to NorCalLandscaping contractorCarlos Caraphina.

Caraphina, who con-tracts for maintenanceand new garden con-struction jobs in Lincoln,

was upbeat in expressing his view that many Lin-coln homeowners arereducing lawn acreage infavor of more water-

friendly landscaping options.

Of course, there is a

modest cost associated with having a landscapecontractor design andinstall a different environ-ment. But you’ll also findthat there can be consid-erable flexibility in thecost model you choose.

So, while cleaning outthe household clutter,consider cleaning up theexterior as well. Yourhome will look better for

the effort and you may save both time and mon-ey in maintaining a new and more environmental-ly-sound landscape.

We l c o m e S p r i n g !We l c o m e S p r i n g !Welcome Spring !



Ilove springtime. It hasa way of renewing my hope for new adven-

tures and good things tocome. All the signs of new

growth are so encourag-ing and fill me with antic-ipation for all the glory Mother Nature has instore for us. I am anxious-ly waiting for all thespringtime blooms.

When the weather is warm, all I can think about is getting in my

yard and digging in thesoil. Where do I start?

If you are feeling inspired to make the jour-ney into your yard andfeel the tug to start yourspring time projects, then

you should seize the day.

One of the best items toplant in spring is jumbo-pack perennials. Notenough stores sell them,but if you can find them,they are truly a gardener’streasure. I love thembecause they are usually

cheaper than gallonperennials and you getsix. Also, they are young and small so they are easy to plant and tuck inaround blooming bulbs.

They start out small,but by summer, you

would never know youhad only planted a singleplant from a jumbo pack.

By summer, they willlook just like any gallons

you may have planted.Jumbo-pack perennialsare a true value. Now, I

am going to share anotherlittle hint with you – youmust resist the urge tobuy vegetable plants suchas tomatoes, peppers,cucumbers and squashes.It is still way too early.

There is no advantage

to planting them this ear-ly because they will notgrow unless your soiltemps are warmer andthe overnight lows areabove 50 degrees. You runthe risk of the plantsfreezing or getting blight

from too much moisture.If you visit some chain

store nursery depart-ments, they will have allthe summer veggies outalready. But you must notgive into your tempta-tions! April and May are

seriously the best monthsfor summer veggies.

However, you can plantsome really good treatsright now. For instance,

you can plant asparagus,artichokes, rhubarb,strawberries, raspberries,

blueberries, some herbs,eggplant and potatoes.

I just mentioned one of my favorites, which ispotato. Did you know these are super easy togrow and will give you lots

with very little work? You

don’t need to have a hugegarden to grow them,either. They will grow in a

wine barrel, a raised bedor right in the ground.Enjoy this beautiful

spring weather. Plantsome new plants and get

your veggie garden ready for your summer veggieplants.

Keep watching theovernight lows to makesure you protect new blooms from the last few nights of spring frost. We

always get a few frosty nights in spring when weleast expect it.

Enjoy the wonders thatspring reveals!

Hut Nursery in Wheatland.

It’s that time of yearagain. Sniffle here.Sneeze there. Runny

eyes and nose.Just when you think you

are coming down with acold, it dawns on you, it isallergy season!

Allergy season in theSacramento Valley isintense with all theblooming trees, grassesand shrubs.

Local veterinariansknow it is the start of aller-gy season when theappointment schedule is

full of pets that are shak-ing their heads, chewing their feet or showing up

with little sores on theirbodies. They can have any one of these symptoms orany combination of theabove. Less commonly,they can also have runny eyes and noses.

When dealing with anallergic pet, your veteri-narian may take a very

detailed history withinformation about diet,

flea product and pastresponse to allergy med-ications.

A holistic approach isimperative to achieve thebest results. To successful-ly manage an allergy pet,specific diet recommen-

dations, monthly topicalflea product applicationand appropriate medica-tions are necessary.

Diet recommendations:This varies with each pet.There are many more lim-ited antigen diets on themarket these days, mak-ing it easier to use a com-mercial product. A trialdiet of a minimum of four

weeks is the best way to

determine which food ismost effective for your

pet. Most veterinary clin-ics will help owners withappropriate choices andmonitor the pet’s overallresponse to the foodchange.

Flea products: An aller-gic pet cannot afford toget bitten by fleas. Truly,one or two flea bites cancause a cascade of reac-tions within the pet’s body that result in all the classicsymptoms mentionedabove. The allergic reac-tion occurs when the petis exposed to the saliva of

the flea. The goal of regu-lar monthly topical fleaproduct application is toprovide a barrier so thatthe pet is not bitten andtherefore not exposed tothe allergen. Again, yourlocal veterinarians willhelp owners with appro-priate choices and moni-tor the pet’s response tothe preventative.

Allergy medications:

Allergy medications vary widely with the severity of

the pet’s symptoms. Somepets will not need any medication, as long asfood issues are addressedand topical flea productsare regularly used. Otherpets may need to pulseantihistamines, corticos-teroids, or combinationsduring high season. Seri-ously allergic pets may need to be on year-roundimmune-system modify-ing drugs that keep symp-toms at bay. All these aretailored to your pet’sneeds, based on response

to therapy. Allergy season does not

have to be miserable forhumans or pets. So muchmore is known about themechanics of allergies.

Have a conversation with your veterinarian.Develop a good working relationship as a team.

Your pet will thank you.

The catalog that justarrived in your mail-box has merchants

reminding us that now isthe time to buy new swimsuits. Meanwhile

your personal trainer isreminding you that now isthe time to lose the winterpoundage to fit into thosenew swimsuits.

These are just a few of

the signs that spring ishere ... at least it will be onMarch 20. Between now and then and for severaldays following, expect ourNorthern Californiapanoply of wildflowersand blossoming trees,maybe a spring storm andsome darkened skies,chilly mornings giving

way to clear blue skiesand temperatures reach-

ing into the 70s. Along Lincoln’s pastoral

roads and nestled in itsgently rolling hills, Cali-

fornia poppies willexplode with renewed

vigor while mustard willblanket the open fieldsstretching to the horizon.

Drive a little and you’llbe able to view DaffodilHill in Amador County.This four-acre Alpinefarm boasts more than300,000 bulbs, including more than 300 varieties of daffodils. Although exacttiming for the best show is

often uncertain, becausenature sets the schedule, you can expect the bestviewing in mid-to-lateMarch and into early

April. Visit the Sutter Creek

website at suttercreek.org/daffodil-hill fordetails on viewing hoursand driving directions.

And then there’s LakeTahoe as it emerges from

the winter snows. Notmuch of that this year,unpredictable as the

white moisture can be.

But look for nature to pro-vide a colorful show as the

wildflowers populate the Alpine meadows.

Back in Lincoln you canfind other tell-tale season-al signs, including theincreasing number of convertibles on the roads... with their tops down.

And check out the localcoffee shops with morepatrons frequenting theoutdoor chairs and tables.

Look also to Lincoln’sseveral golf courses. Amidst the greening fair- ways, you will find moregolfers in shorts andshort-sleeve polo shirts ...usually after 10 a.m. as theearly mornings are still abit nippy.

Granted a few hardy hackers wear them year-round. But for the rest of us, moderation and

warmth set the tone. We are blessed by living

in one of nature’s best the-aters. Enjoy the view!
