As lF WE REALLY CAN AFFORD TH/5 VACATfON. OK, SMILE SCENlC \/lEW Real riform takes leadership What will it take for President Burack Obama to get his signature issue of health care reform through a reluctant Congress before its .summer recess? And if the president fails to win over skeptical members of his ov. n party. will his ambitious agenda to revive the economy come to an abrupt en.d~ Hmv !~uch will all of thts cost us . There arc questions and even more questions about the rwt'd to reform rhe health care system, the amount of money it will take and whether this will be a solo effort by Democrats or tnte bipartisan reform. One thing remains certain: .No one seems to have all the answers, including the president of the United States, which is precisely why Obama and the White House have shifted into full campaign mode. In his fourth nationally televised news conference. the president sought to convince the nation that the need to pass health care reform is dire, both to the nation's cconomtc wellbeing and the stability of the Ameri~:an household. "Reform.'' he dedarcd, "is about every American who has ever feared that they may los~.: their coverage if they become too sick. or lose their job. or change their job. It's about every small buo;incss that has been forced to lay off employc~s or cut back on thetr cmcrage because it became too expensive. And it's ,tbout ~the fact that the biggest dri-. Donna Brazile ving force behind our federal deficit is the skyrocketing cost of Medicare and Medicaid." Obawa is nul Lht! first president to issue this clarion call to action but he is determined to be the first president to fulfill it -even if it means the fight is brought to every member of Congress. Our 1rovernment has been trying to reform health care for more than 60 years. Everyone agrees that the risinl! cost of health care is impactinl! American families. bu~inesses and the overall economy. If Congress decides to do nothing - something it is clearly familiar \Vith doing - folks like vou and me will continue to sec our premiums rise. our out-ofpocket costs im:reasc and our coverage benefits disap pear as slowly anti surely as the Cheshire Cat. The good news is that Obama. administration is finally providing air cover for members of Congress deeply worried about the price tag and their ability to explain It ·away to their delicit-weary constituents. As the president himself explained it to the nation. "If we do not control these costs, we will not be able to control our deficit. If we do not reform health care. your premiums and out-of-pocket costs will continue to sk) rocket. If we do not act. 14.000 Americans will continue to lose their health insurnnce ever) single day. These arc the consequences of inaction. These are the stakes of the debate we· re having right now.'' Given the high stakes, the prestdcnt's press conference was newsworthy. but not a game changer. By and large. Democrats would like to see something done about the rising costs of health care. but they disagree fundamentally on how to pay for it. Some are even reluc· tant to pass any fonn of healthcare reform legislation before departing Washington to face their constituents back home. Many Democrats have begun to express frustration that the president is pushing them a little too fast: they're wary from being left to twist in the wind on tough issues like the RecoVCI)' Act. cit mate change and TARP. The legislative process, which is often compared to making sausages. has taken an enormous toll on members. and they yearn for a "time out" to catch their collective breath. These blue-dog Democrats are sincerely concerned. The vast majority wants to do something and are clo:.-er to the president than the) are to the Republicans on this issue . However. there is still work to be dune in adopting plans that will ensure real savings to consumers before comnutting the government to another expensive entitlement program we simply cannot afford. That said, to ensure the' passage of health car. reform. the president wil have to spend some of his political capital. which. like the economy. has shrunken considerably since his preside~cy's 100-day,mark. The Whtte House must also be aware that these members, as well as the entire caucus. have some concerns about ho"' the healthcare bill as well as the recently passed clean energy bill will play back home. Though refom1ing our dysfunctional health care system would be a crowning achievement for congressional Democrats, the political environment isn't conducive! right now - and the White House is to be blamed for this because it failed to engage more strategically the Democratic majority from the start. lf Congress adjourns for tts summer break without passing health care reform. the president must not retreat. Nor should his persistent critics claim victory. f Rather, the president must keep talking. keep working through this and keep making the tough decisions that will ensure Congress gets it right.

Frazier said. "But if they're meeting the manufacturer's specitications. that ride owner has the right to operate that ride ...

The 1irst serious injuries on Son of Beast occurred dunnr the ride's second season. in 200 I. when two men suffered broken necks in a four-week period. Both men were found to have a rare, undiagnosed form of arthri tis in the spine and said their doctors did not wam them against riding roller coast ers. the Cincinnati Enquirer reported. In July 2007. a man complained of sharp back pain after getting off the ride and died the next dav. The Hamilton County coroner's office detem1ined the cause of death was hemorrhagic shock from blunt impact to the torso. with complications from obesity and se\'eral pre-existing health conditions. Frazier said inspectors pre\'iously found no reason to shut down the coaster. "In all but one instance, we've found that the ride was operating properly. and that pre-existing (medical) conditions were a large part of .the injuries:· she said. "In one case. there was a structural failure. In the other cases, the ride has b~JCn found to be operating properly with no evidence of any malfunction." The structural failure in 2006 resulted in injury to 27 people. A a timber cracked and a rail dropped slightly. creating what Helbig said was analogous to a pothole in a high~way. That shutdown was the longest in the ride's history. lasting nearly a year while portion~ of the structure were rebuilt and a 118-foot-tall wooden loop was removed.

CLEVELAND (AP) LeBron James struggled with sudden fame after appearing on Sports Illustrated's cover as a 17vear-old and admits he smoked marijuana during his junior year in high school. Those are two of the revelations in a book chronicling James' rise from Akron. Ohio. hoops prodig) to NBA superstar. In "Shooting Stars." written by James and coauthor Buzz Bissinger. James said the SI cover and the media attention he and his high school teammates recetved was difficult to handle. "We had become bigheaded jerks. me in particular,'' James said. "and we are to blame for that, but so are adults who treated us that way and then sat back and smugly watched the self-destruction." In the book. scheduled for release in September; the NBA's reigning MVP recounts the media circus that enveloped his final two years at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School following his SI CO\ er appearance.

I should have kept quiet. but I also v. as what I was, a teenager where every reporter in the world seemed to be rushing toward me at once." James also revealed he and his teammates smoked marijuana one night after getting access to a hotel room in Akron. James feels he was unfairly targeted by the media. which he described as "l.!xcited spectators at a car crash" after it was learned that his mother, Gloria. obtained a loan to buy him a $50,000 Hummer for his birthday. He said the scrutiny was humtliating for his mother, who was living with him in a rental-assistance apartment. "Was the vehicle excessive, with its bank of three televisions? Mayb~:. Probably. Of course it was:· James said. "So were the BMWs parked in the , St. V lot. belonging to ~. low students. But nobo ever questioned those.'' · James also recounts being suspended by the Ohio High School Athletic Association for accepting two throwback jer~eys as gifts from a Cleveland area clothing store. He describes the OHSAA as "ravenous" and is highly critical of former commissioner Clair Muscaro. James said Muscaro, whose suspension of him was later reduced in coun. wanted to put James and his school "in our place .... '·this was a witch hunt, one-man posse's attempt to humiliate me. subject me to ridicule. rip open rumors that I was corrupt and ruin a dream." James said the experiences drew he and his friends closer and proved to be valuable life lessons. many of which he attribu. es to "karma." James and Bissinger focus almost entirely on James' final two years of high school and do not delve into his early career with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Bissinger is best known for "Friday Night Lights." a bestseller on Texas' obsesston with high school football.

' ·r BALCO agent searches for steroids in supplements BY EDDIE PELLS AP NATIONAL WRITER I • The investigator who led the BALCO probe has taken aim at a San Francisco-area supplement manufacturer, claiming the products they sell are laced with designer steroids. Authorities filed a search warrant under seal Tuesday in federal court to raid the home of American Cellular Labs CEO Maurice Sandoval and a Max Muscle supplement store he's associated with for evidence the company sells steroids nder the guise of a supple'1ent. The court documents were made available to the public Thursday. In an affidavit, Jeff Novitzky, special agent for the Food and Drug Administration, said the company's products Tren Xtreme and Mass Extreme contained designer steroids "Tren" and "Madol." which were identified during the investigation into the Bay Area Laboratory CoOperative. Novitzky led the way on BALCO. the focal point of a scandal involving performance-enhancing drugs that included top-level athletes. including Marion Jones. Tim Montgomery and Barry Bonds. Novitzky used some of the same techniques he employed in BALCO to gather evidence supporting the search warrant m this case, including digging through the trash outside Sandoval's house in Pacifica, Calif. Travis Tygart. the CEO of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, said the raid was. welcome news about ·a multibillion-dollar industry that is not as stringently regulated as the drug industry. ''It ought to give clean athletes renewed hope that the . A Team' that was on BALCO is still out there, protecting their rights by continuing to do their best to shut down places that are putting designer steroids out," Tygart said. Data seiLed by investiga- , tors could include lists of purchasers of the company's products. Although major sports and Olympic sports test for Madol and Tren, the drugs are not widely tested for in high schools. many of which have started testing programs in recent years. Novitzky wrote in the affidavit about his conversation with a salesman at a San Francisco Max Muscle store, who said he would not sell the products to high school kids because there were too many side effects . Novitzky did not identify himself to the salesman. who told him about a proposed rule to label the products anabolic steroids and said the products would not be around for long because of increased investigations by the FDA into the supplement industry. The FDA regulates the industry. though ::.ome studies show steroids make their way into a number of supplements. eas po s p rs re 74o-592-2497 93 Columbu Road AthensJ OH www.seimport .com �I Page B6 - Sunday Times Sentinel Sunday.

Just a few months ago, Jenni and Andy's daughter was diagnosed with a rare. fatal genetic disease. Celia Eleanor Betz. had developed normally for the first 15 months and was a beautiful, happy child with curly red hair and dark brown eyes. Then mysteriously. she began to decline. First she . stopped using the vocabulary she had developed and became clumsy when walking. Then her laughter faded and she even lost her ability to crawl. Now she is unable to feed herself; she suffers from sei.zures and is partially blind. Celia is under the care of Nationwide Childrens' Hospital Hospice. The disease Celia inherited, because both of her par- ents are carriers, is called .NCL I (neuronal ceroid lipfusicinosis) and is'. more commonly known as Batten Disease. Celia has the infantile version. the most rapidly progressing f9rm. As the literature says, "first it takes childhood, then it takes the child." Her brain is dying and she will only live a few short years. There are approximate!) J 50 children in the U.S. alive today ~ ith this disease. There is no cure. Burlilc has chosen to take up this cause as an act of inspiration and self-sacrifice. She currently Jives in New York City. so although she is not clo~e geographically. she has found a way to provide immea~urable support and love to Celia, Jenni and Andv. Celia's family has been comforted by an outpouring of prayers and acts of kindness since Celia's diagnosis. At times like these, when it is easy to lose a little faith in mankind. their spirits are lifted by the strength and support that comes from friends, family and even stranger'>. Mandy Burlile 's dedication and hard work for the acknowledgement of Celia and Batten Disease is a tribute to her own strength, and a testament to her generosity and kindness.

This system offers a technology option that will help facilitate a more accurate alignment and positioning of the implant, which is the most important prerequisite for the artificial hip and knee joint stability, durability and sufficient range of motion. "Navigated total hip and knee replacement is an extremely successful way to treat qualifying patients with hip or knee pain." said Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Bruce Haupt. 'The new surgical navigation technology that we have in place greatly enhances our ability to restore range of motion, overall function and return patients to normal activity. I have been using this technology for three years and am excited that Dr. Russell Clarke and I are able to offer this to our community." The Stryker Navigation system will be used in total hip and knee arthoplasty (THA and TKA) surgeries performed at Holzer Medical Center jn Gallipolis. THA and TKA procedures are usually recommended for patients with severe hip or knee pain and disability caused by damage to cartilage from rheumatoid arthritis. osteoarthritis or trauma. The Stryker Navigation system uses an infrared camera and instruments along with unique tracking software to continually monitor the position. angles and alignment of the implant in relation to the patient's anatomy. Smart Active wireless instruments send data pertaining to the kinematics (movement) to the computer. The computer analyzes and displays data on a computer monitor in the fonn of graphs that supply the surgeon with the angles. lines, and measurements needed to accu- Jason Reed, DO Orthopedic Surgeon • . : PALMETTO STATE QUARTET He received his medical degree from the Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed a residency in orthopedic surgery at St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center in Toledo, Ohio. · His experience includes· • · Joint reconstruction of the shoulder, knee, hip and elbow. • Arthroscopic surgery of the knee, shoulder and ankle to include ACL reconstruction; rotator cuff repair; labral repairs (SLAP) of the shoulder; and instability repair of the ankle. • Orthopedic trauma fracture care. • Pediatric orthopedic care to include fractures, musculoskeletal infections and general pediatric conditions. • Training and experience in computer-assisted surgery for total joint replacement of the knees and hips.

"With it. we have the opportunity to give a patient a new knee or hip that has consistently improved alignment, stability, and range of motion, even in difficult anatomic situations. One everyday example of the benefits of computer navigation is to consider the tires on your car. Like tires. when the knee or hip is better aligned the ride is smoother and they last longer." One benefit of the Stryker Navigation system is that it eliminates the need for an expensive pre-operative MRI or CT scan and provides a customized replacement. Experience shows that the system may lead to possible shorter hospital stays, fewer post-operative complications, and improved joint longevity. The Stryker Navigation system also has applications in trauma, spine, neurosurgery and ENT.

Review: Scares, dark laughs in 'Orphan' B Y CHRISTY LEMIRE AP MOVIE CRITIC LOS ANGELES Esther is unfailingly polite, a sensitive painter and pianist, a vision of traditional feminine charm in her prim dresses and bows. But this 9-year-old also has a way with a hammer and a h.andgun and knows a thing or two about arson and destruction of evidence. Yes, she's complicated, the little girl at the center of "Orphan," a descend<illt from a long line of cinematic evil children. Still, despite similarities to predecessors like "The Bad Seed" and "The Omen," this well-crafted flick has frights all its own. Director Jaume CollerSerra, working from a devilishly clever script by David Leslie Johnson. maintains S!eady suspense while mercifully mixing in some moments of dark humor. He's got a strong cast to work with in Vera Farmiga, Peter Sarsgaard and CCH Pounder (Claudette from 1 'T he Shield"), but in young Isabelle Fuhrman, he has a formidable force. Fuhrman, who was just 11 when she shot "Orphan," can command the screen with just a sunny smile or a menacing 2lare. She's called upon to do some gnarly stuff here apd more than rises to the challenge. Sure, sometimes Esther seems like an impossibly unstoppable killing machine ~ like a Soviet-era spy in a pint-size body - but seeing how far "Orphan" will go is part of the fun. Farmiga and Sarsgaard star as Kate and John, a wealthy Connecticut couple reeling from the stillbirth of their third child. Wanting to give all that love to a child who needs it, they decide to adopt the Russian-born Esther, who's obviously more than a little different from th~ other girls at the orphanage. (Pounder plays the nun who arranges the adoption.) Still, that's much of the allure in their eyes, that she is her own person. When the couple brings her home, their son, Danny (Jimmy Bennett), immediately feels threatened by her. (He has no idea how right he is.) But their other daughter, Max. takes to her and in no time looks up to her as a big sister. The character is hearing-impaired, as is the actress playing her, Aryana Engineer, who expresses so much emotion by just widening her eyes or scrunching· down to hide amid her stuffed anim2tls. She's adorable but she's also crucial to showing us just how rotten Esther truly is. Soon, accidents start occurring, flare-ups at school and on the playground, and Esther always happens to be around. Kate grows suspicious but John frustratingly fails to believe her, the product of lingering mistrust because of her previous alcoholism and irresponsibility. You want to grab him by the shoulders and shake him, he's so blind to Esther's wicked ways, even as the damage worsens. Then again, Esther's so sweetly manipulative, she's hard to resist; in some of the ridiculous moments she shares with John. you don't know whether to laugh with "Orphan" or at it. Farmiga runs and screams 'and flails a lot - --orphan'' is reminiscent of 2007's evil-child thriller "Joshua," in which she also starred as a besieged mom - but she also brings believability to Kate's inner demons. which are so relevant to the way she responds to the increasingly dangerous Esther. But of course there has to be an explanation for her behavior, and it comes in the form of a twist. You won't see it coming. but this ·revelation - and the disturbing images that accompany the climactic chaos Esther causes - will probably leave you with a restless night's sleep.

She. uses the same approach in her personal life, which is why she's ~opeles~ly single. d~spite the fa~t that .she looks like Kathenne Hc1gl. Abby pnnts out talkmg pomts to go over with her blind dates, for example, and has a 10-item checklist of requirements for her ideal man. Sure. it's meant as a joke, but .come on. The idea of a woman bcino- so rigid and ftigid is purely archaic - which is why it's so disheartening that the script comes from three women: Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith, who had much greater success writing female characters in ·'Legally Blonde" and ''The House Bunny." and first-timer Nicole Eastman. Robert Luketic. who also did better work with "Legally Blonde," directs the slapstick antics in rather unspectacular fashion. A scene in which Abby has an accidental orgasm during a dinner with her bosses just falls flat. That gag exemplifies one of the movie.·s chief problems. ''The Ugly Truth" strains to distinguish itself from tha other movies of the genre with graphically sexual a~ profane dialogue: rather than being offensive or amusing, the approach feels like a transparent and desperate attempt at being edgy. Butler's brash Mike Chadway has made a bit of a name for himself in town as host of the cable-access show "The Ugly Truth." in which he spits out misogynistic dating advice and abuses callers. When Abby's station hires him to do his shtick in an effort to boost ratings. he and Abby immediately clash. Naturally, that will change. Not only does he tell her what to say and do when she lands a date with Colin (Eric Winter), her too-good-to-betnte doctor neighbor. he also oversees her obligatory makeover, getting her out of conservative jeans and sweaters and into va-va-voomy dresses and heels. So it's a retread of both "Pygmalion" and "Cyrano de Bergerac," but "The Ugly Truth" settles down some and becomes vaguely tolerable in these scenes when Mike and Abby banter about relationships. Mike's rough charms work on everyone, including the station's bickering husband-and-wife anchor team, played by John Michael Higgins and Cheryl Hines in a waste of both actors· capabilities. Because deep down. of course, he's just as vulnerable and in need of love as everyone else. Butler's regular-guyness makes the character more likable than he should be: but Heigl. for all her screen presence, looks great but seems stiff. as tf she's uncomfortable with the wilder physical comedy of the character.

The problem now is that Americans - who last year bought 31 million pounds of bison meat. about double from five years earlier have become so unfamiliar with the meat. most don't know how to prepare it. ison meat is utterly delectable, similar to though more intense and not at all g ey,'' says chef John Ash. author of "American Game Cooking." But because it's so low in fat. bison also is easy to overcook and turn tough. At its peak. the North American bison (also called buffalo) may have numbered close to 125 million. But by 1900. they had been hunted to near extinction. The population began a slow bounce back in 1905. when Roosevelt founded the American Bison Spciety, the United States' first effort to save the iconic animal. Bruce Aidells. author of '"The Complete Meat Book,'' also credits Turner with helping the bison's culinary comeback. Turner owns the world's largest herd of bison and has sought to make the meat a part of the American menu once again. It's working. In recent years, bison has begutl showing up on a growing number of restaurant menus and has become a staple at larger grocers and natural food stores. Even big box retailer Costco began can·ying it in 2007. David Carter, executive director of the National Bison Association, says bison enjoys a "sweet spot" between interest in healthy foods, sustainable farming and a broadening ican palate. the most part. bison are pasture-raised ealthy, meaning ranchers don't need hormones and antibiotics. It's also healthy to eat. The leanest cuts have just 143 calories and 2 grams of fat per 3 1!2-ounce serving, compared to 9 grams for the leanest cut of beef. The flavor of bison is quite similar to beef, but perhaps a bit more intense and meaty. Carter points out that there is some variation in flavor because unlike cattle, bison are still a relatively wild animal and most ranchers want to keep it that way to preserve the natural quality of their product. But leanness comes with a price. While bison is interchangeable with beef in most recipes, it requires a little extra attention because the meat is so lean. Tender cuts. such as steaks, have little fat marbling the way a good beef steak does. Which means they should be cooked to no more than medium-rare or the meat will come out dry and tasteless, says Ash. On the other hand, tougher cuts. such as chuck, brisket and short ribs, need to be cooked at a low temperate for a long time in order to get tender results. Ash says that a good introduction to bison is a steak or a burger. These also are the cuts readily available grocers. r steak, he prefers simple preparations • that allow the unique flavor of the meat to come through, such as a simple rub of oHve oil and a sprinkling of salt and pepper for steaks. Using ground bison, which usually is more than 90 percent lean, presents a slightly different challenge. A bison burger, for example, will have the best flavor and texture if it is cooked to rare or medium-rare at the most. Federal guidelines recommend cooking ground beef (and bison) to at 1east 155 F, which amounts to medium-well to well done. But that will give you a dry and crumbly bison burger. If you do plan to cook ground bison past medium-rare, Ash recommends adding some fattier ground beef or even pork to help keep it moist. Aidells has a similar approach. He likes to add plain yogurt and fresh breadcrumbs to his bison burgers. meatloaves and meatball blends. But if you prefer your meat well done, you can still enjoy bison, says Aidells. He feels that the tougher cuts, such as the brisket, chuck and short ribs, often are overlooked and can be the most enjoyable parts of the bison. The tougher meat has much less fat than the cut of beef, but has substantially more n. which the connective tissue in the e. When cooked at a low temperature over a long time, this coHagen eventually melts, creating fall-apart tender meat. Braising tougher cuts in a flavorful liquid. says Aidells, is an excellent way to go. The rich flavor of the bison meat stands up well to intense seasonings. Though ground bison and some types of ~teak are widely available, to get some of the o(her cuts you may need to ask your butcher or even order from a purveyor of specialty meats.

Bison (also called buffalo) meat has a flavor that is similar to beef, though many say it is slightly sweeter. But what is most notable. especially to the healthy cook, is that the American Hemt Association has included lean cuts of bison as part of a heart healthy diet. Nutritionists like bison because it is low in total fat. saturated fat. sodium and dietary cholesterol. It also is nutrient-dense. containing a high propmtion of protein and minerals relative to calories. Ground bison and bison sirloin steaks can be found in most supermarkets, and an even wider range of cuts can be purchased from specialty meat purveyors. Bison can be used in the same \o\ ays you would beef. bur the leanness of the meat comes with a downside - it has to be cooked carefully or it can easily dry out and become tough. It is best to cook bison steaks to a rare or medium doneness, so if you prefer your meat well done you may want to stick with beef. Ground bison is quite versatile and works well for tacos. chili, meatloaf and meatballs. The latter. two are especially good if you add some moisture in the form chopped onions or moistened, fresh breadcrumbs. A bison burger is delicious. especially when cooked to no more than medium doneness. Season the ground meat with a simple combination of coarse salt and ground black pepper, or using seasonings from any of your favorite burger recipes. This recipe for grilled, marinated open-faced bison steak sandwiches uses a balsamic vinegar and shallot marinade to add flavor and n1oisture. Use bison steak medallions. bison strip or rib-eye ~teaks for the best results. The low fat. creamy horseradish-chive sauce provides the pelfect accent to the bison steak and peppery baby arugula. Try it on your favorite steak. burger or even as a dip for crispy, fresh vegetables. AP photos This photo taken July 12 shows bison sirloin steak.

It set off the blue bigleaf hydrangeas ver} nice!), but it wa~n 't exactly the look we wanted. The garage is still there, but you can't see it anymore. Nine years Etgo I planted a single climbing hydrangea a couple of feet from the base of the garage, and after a slow start it has almost completely covered the wall. It might be the single most useful plant on the property. On the north side of a building. often a difficult gardening spot, it pro~ides four-season interest and a breathtaking early summer floral display. Combined with the holly hedge that runs along our east boundary. the climbing hydrangea brings something of a "Secret Garden'' feel to its comer. a lost-in-leafiuess mood that is only heightened by the droning of bees. And it can be spectacular even at night. if the flowers catch the moonlight. The vine is nearly care-free. It gets time-release fertilizer gran- ules in early spring and late-summer, and it has to be watered during summer drought. (Our climbing hydrangea has never shown the tendency to wilt on hot afternoons that other hydrangeas have. maybe because it's always in the shade.) 1 keep it pruned to the top of the wall for fear it will push the roof off. and when I remember I cut it away from the garage windows. No trellis or wires are needed for support, as the vine adheres directly to the wall. In spring, handsome, serrated leaves seem to. pop from the tracery of reddish-brown stems that permanently adhere to the wall. As they multiply, branches grow out from the wall as much as 2 1/2 feet, giving the vine a threedimensional heft. In late spring and early summer. lacy white flower clusters appear. Each bears tiny fertile buds surrounded by a few larger sepals. Although at 8 or 9 inches they are as big around as the mophead flowers on some more familiar hydrangeas, the architecture is refreshingly different. The flowers begin to darken after a couple of weeks. but remain a bright contrast against the dark green foliage for a month. Eventuall), they dry to a tan color and can be pruned off. (I confess I sometimes leave that task to the next spring. No harm done. and I've seen birds nip off some of the airy dried flowers, perhaps for ne~ting material.) In fall, the climbing hydrangea's leaves brighten with yello\\. Some turn color completely while others retain some green and remain an intere~ting twotone until they drop off. When the leaves are on the ground, the plant's sp1der) outline remains fixed to the garage wall. an interesting wintertime web. AP photo The bark exfoliates a bit. too. and gets a bit more reddish.

So you may not want to try this 8. I've· seen no bug or disease climbing hydrangea took off. But to be honest. for me it was climber unless you're going to be problems, but the climbing hydrangea (Hydrangea anomala more like "sleep, sleep. creep. working the same garden half a petiolaris) does have one negative creep, leap." The vine did not decade from now. But if you are. show any of its astonishing prepare for your patience to be - its slow takeoff.
