Beach, 37, 1350 Swango Road, Bidwell, was indicted in February 2007 on one count of attempted murder, which carries a possible sentence ranging from three to ten years incarceration. Beach pled guilty Friday to an amended charge of feloniOUS assault for CaUSing serious physical harm to. his estranged girlfriend, Heidi Peifer of Vinton, on Jan. II, 2007, outside of a local establishment. ' Following Beach 's plea, Judge D. Dean Evans imposed the recommended · sentence of seven years in prison, one year less than the maximum sentence for felonious assault. It was ordered that Beach be transported' to the Correctional Reception Cent~r at Orient to begin serving the sentence. Beach was not granted any jail time credit for the several months .of house arrest that he served in 2007 after initially posting bond, but he was granted I07 days for time served before and after house arrest. Gallia County Prosecutor Jeff Adkins said that a number of factors led to ihe plea a~reement. including the VIctim's reluctance to proceed with any charges against Beach, along with statements.

Verdicts unusual in Ohio murder trial, experts say BY MATT lEINGAIIIG ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER COLUMBUS -The trial of a former police officer accused of killing his pregnant.lover ended with jurors taking an unusual path to finding him guilty, some legal experts said. After deliberations spanning four days, the jury in Canton convicted Bobby Cutts Jr. on Friday of murdering Jessie Davis. Jurors convicted him of aggravated murder in the death of her nearly full-term fetus, a stronger charge that makes him eligible for the death penalty. Aggravated murder includes intent to kill with prior calculation and design. Victor ,'itreib, a law professor at Ohio Northern University and an expert on the death penalty, said he questions the split decision. "I think they (the mother and fetus) are a package, and you have to treat them the same way," Streib said. "Either they were both pre-meditated murders or not."

Defense attorneys ·asked for a mistrial, saying the lesser charge of murder for Davis was inconsistent with an aggravated murder conviction for ttle fetus. Both allegations against Cutts were based on the same facts, the defense said. Stark County Common Pleas Judge Charles E. Brown Jr. rejected the request and said he had studied related court rulings and foun,d that the allegations involved two separate individuals. The defense objected to his ruling, preserying the issue for a possible basis for an appeal. "It sounds like the jury had a tremendous amount of sympathy for the unbOrn child," said Joe Wilhelm, a lawyer with the Ohio Public Defender office.

Lori Shaw, a University ·of Dayton law professor, said the verdict seerris complicated, but the jury could have reasoned that Cutts' intent was to injure the fetus - perhaps causing a miscarnage - and not to kill the mother. In that scenario, the jury's verdict of aggravated murder for the fetus alone makes sense, she said. Judge Brown issued a gag order in the case, and attar· rieys !)n both sides have declined to comment. Ohio has never executed someone for killing an unborn child, and legal experts said they can't recall anyone in the U.S. who was sentenced to die based solely on the killing of a fetus.

Verdicts unusual in Ohio murder trial, experts say BY MATT lEINGAIIIG ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER COLUMBUS -The trial of a former police officer accused of killing his pregnant.lover ended with jurors taking an unusual path to finding him guilty, some legal experts said. After deliberations spanning four days, the jury in Canton convicted Bobby Cutts Jr. on Friday of murdering Jessie Davis. Jurors convicted him of aggravated murder in the death of her nearly full-term fetus, a stronger charge that makes him eligible for the death penalty. Aggravated murder includes intent to kill with prior calculation and design. Victor ,'itreib, a law professor at Ohio Northern University and an expert on the death penalty, said he questions the split decision. "I think they (the mother and fetus) are a package, and you have to treat them the same way," Streib said. "Either they were both pre-meditated murders or not." Jurors are scheduled to return Feb. 25 to hear evi- GDC from PageA1 statewide to enable individuals at every developmental center, as well, as persons who have wanted to move into the community the opportunity to do so, to receive the services and Sentence from PageA1 Prosecutors .said ·th;n by amending the aggravated to murder charge manslaughter, the state recognizes that Mandeville did not act with a purpose to cause Noah's death after all, but that his death resulted from the shaking of the baby, which is an intentional crime of felony child abuse. dence on· whether to recommend the death penalty for Cutts, 30. Defense attorneys ·asked for a mistrial, saying the lesser charge of murder for Davis was inconsistent with an aggravated murder conviction for ttle fetus. Both allegations against Cutts were based on the same facts, the defense said. Stark County Common Pleas Judge Charles E. Brown Jr. rejected the request and said he had studied related court rulings and foun,d that the allegations involved two separate individuals. The defense objected to his ruling, preserying the issue for a possible basis for an appeal. "It sounds like the jury had a tremendous amount of sympathy for the unbOrn child," said Joe Wilhelm, a lawyer with the Ohio Public Defender office.

Lori Shaw, a University ·of Dayton law professor, said the verdict seerris complicated, but the jury could have reasoned that Cutts' intent was to injure the fetus - perhaps causing a miscarnage - and not to kill the mother. In that scenario, the jury's verdict of aggravated murder for the fetus alone makes sense, she said. Judge Brown issued a gag order in the case, and attar· rieys !)n both sides have declined to comment. Ohio has never executed someone for killing an unborn child, and legal experts said they can't recall anyone in the U.S. who was sentenced to die based solely on the killing of a fetus.

Let's start · with Barack Obama. Senator, ihere is a good chance you will pull off one of the bi~gest upsets in modem pohtical history· and defeat Hillary Clinton for the democratic nomination. So far, your theme has been: "Give Hope a Chance." And.it's working. Good for you. But as with the John Lennon song "Give Peace a Chance," hearing it over and over is worse than being waterboarded. So you might think about upgrading from "hope." rhetoric to actual statements about policy. Now, I understand that the more specific you get about universal health care or Iraq, the more you invite criticism. But .folks like you, and effectively rebutting policy criticism mi,ght even make you stronger. Sunday,February17,2oo8 It is chilling question that we have all asked ourselves: What would we do if, God forbid, we had to get a squirrel out of a piano? This very question confronted an animal-control officer in Fairfax County, Va., recently) according to a news report from the Washington Post sent in by roughly two million alert rea,ders. According to this report, ·the officer was responding to a report of "a squir.rel running inside a residence." When the officer arrived , the squirrel "jumped into an open baby grand piano." · Fortunately, the officer had the training, the courage, and - above an· - the musical talent to deal with the ·situation. To quote from the Post report, which I am not making up: ''After the ofticer started playing the song •All l Want' by the group Toad the Wet Sprocket, the squirrel jumped out of the piano and onto curtains, ·damaging them." The report says that the squirrel then jumped onto the officer's head, and then onto a couch, where the officer wa,s able to apprehend it and release it unharmed. So everything turned out OK, which is very fortu'nate. l mean, what if, in the heat of the moment, the officer had played the w~ong tune? What if he had played "Copacabana," by situation in Fairfax County appears to be under control. But that does not mean that we can afford · to be sanguine. For one thing, we have no idea what "sanDave guine" means. For another Barry thing, there have been several other alarming recent incidents of wildlife running amok: · INCIDENT ONE: Barry Manilow?

Let's start · with Barack Obama. Senator, ihere is a good chance you will pull off one of the bi~gest upsets in modem pohtical history· and defeat Hillary Clinton for the democratic nomination. So far, your theme has been: "Give Hope a Chance." And.it's working. Good for you. But as with the John Lennon song "Give Peace a Chance," hearing it over and over is worse than being waterboarded. So you might think about upgrading from "hope." rhetoric to actual statements about policy. Now, I understand that the more specific you get about universal health care or Iraq, the more you invite criticism. But .folks like you, and effectively rebutting policy criticism mi,ght even make you stronger. Sunday,February17,2oo8 It is chilling question that we have all asked ourselves: What would we do if, God forbid, we had to get a squirrel out of a piano? This very question confronted an animal-control officer in Fairfax County, Va., recently) according to a news report from the Washington Post sent in by roughly two million alert rea,ders. According to this report, ·the officer was responding to a report of "a squir.rel running inside a residence." When the officer arrived , the squirrel "jumped into an open baby grand piano." · Fortunately, the officer had the training, the courage, and - above an· - the musical talent to deal with the ·situation. To quote from the Post report, which I am not making up: ''After the ofticer started playing the song •All l Want' by the group Toad the Wet Sprocket, the squirrel jumped out of the piano and onto curtains, ·damaging them." The report says that the squirrel then jumped onto the officer's head, and then onto a couch, where the officer wa,s able to apprehend it and release it unharmed. So everything turned out OK, which is very fortu'nate. l mean, what if, in the heat of the moment, the officer had played the w~ong tune? What if he had played "Copacabana," by situation in Fairfax County appears to be under control. But that does not mean that we can afford · to be sanguine. For one thing, we have no idea what "sanDave guine" means. For another Barry thing, there have been several other alarming recent incidents of wildlife running amok: · INCIDENT ONE: Barry Manilow?

The sixth-seeded Blue Devils (8- I 3) trailed only seven seconds of Friday night's affair with the Fal4;;ons, yet still found themselves down 49-48 with just eight seconds left in regulation. The Blue and White had only one ·chance to recapture the lead - and extend their season when senior Chris McCoy drove the length of the floor and w9rked hi's way to within about eight feet of the left side of the foul lane. McCoy gave a b~ll fake, which induced three FUHS defenders to jump in the air. As the defense came down, McCoy went up and released his eight-foot · McCoy Nibert effort off the glass.

"We have faced adversity all throughout the season, so we knew how to deal with· it," McCoy com· mented. "I looked at coach with eight seconds left and he said go.

In the end they didn't get back and guard Chris, and we ended up winning the game," GAHS coach Jim Osborne said afterward. "It was just a tremendous struggle between two teams· that really played hard." Gallia Academy made 18-of-36.: . field . goal attempts · 'overall for 50 percent, including just 1of-6 from three-point territory for 17 percent.

Then you look at the climate of the sport today from an owner's standpoint or whatever, and the climate is not so good." Sure, Fortune 500 companies will be splashed all over car hoods and fenders in Sunday's Daytona 500. But behind those flashy corporate logos, there are signs NASCAR's runaway prosperity and popularity are beginning to plateau.

And NASCAR officials are having Second thoughts' about a rash of recent major changes intended to make the sport more palatable to mainstream sports f~ns - moves 11/~~ilt~l that might have alienated the hard-core base.

"That's what I tell our guys. When you see the.. Jnomy starting to slip, everybody's going to get squeezed. You might not feel It now, but there's a trickle-down effect." Even as Chevrolet drivers Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jimmie Johnson. whooped it up in victory lane last weekend, Chevy's parent company, General Motors, was preparing !o announce a record $38.7 billion loss for 2007. Chevy's racing budget is pocket change in GM's overall budget, and the company considers NASCAR an important advertising platform. But the bad news stoked an undercurrent of long-standing · concerns about the automakers' ability to keep spending at the same pace team owners' costs are rising. Even · Hendrick, who should be riding high after Earnhardt won the Bud Shootout exhibition race in his debut with Hendrick Motorsports and two-time defending Cup series cham' pion Johnson won the Daytona 500 pole position, is thinking about the government's economic stimulus package and how it might affect his empire of car dealerships. Two top te~m owners, Jack Roush and Ray Evernham, sold significant stakes in their teams to investors last year. Another two major teams merged. EveJYone else is left looking for more money. Evernham sold majority ownership of his team to Montreal Canadiens owner George Gillett . partly because Evemham couldn't stomach the business end of the sport. Though Evernham says NASCAR remains a good investment for sponsors, he's worried that won't be the case if costs continue to skyrocket. Evernham said it costs more than $20 million to run one car for a full season. "If it goes up to 40 and 50 million dollars, the spread struggling economy. might be fine.

BY MIKE HARRIS ASSOCIATED PRESS DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - It's time to find a new title for NASCAR 's Car of Tomorrow. After a 16-race . preview last year, the bigger, bulkier and, hopefully, safer vehicle is now the car of today. It will be used for the entire 2008 Sprint Cup season, beginning with Sunday's Daytona 500. "No use complaining or worrying about it," said Chad Knaus, the crew chief who has guided Jimmie Johnson to two straight Cup titles. "It's what we have to work with iiow. NASCAR isn't going to suddenly ,decide to go back to the old ·car." NASCAR originally pla!lned to blend the CoT mto the Cup schedule over three years. But, with team owners unhappy about building two dtfferent cars to race during the 2007 season, NASCAR decided to go full time with the CoT this seasun. "That makes all the sense in the -world," said team owner Jack .Roush. "It was just taking too many 'resources to build the old car and the CoT. What NASCAR did was good for everybody.'' Last year, the new car raced only on tracks shorter than I 1/2 miles, with the exception of the road races in Sonoma, Calif. and Watkins Glen, N.Y., and the fall event at the 2.66-mile Talladega track. After a dull race there, the only track besides Daytona where mandatory carburetor restrictor plates slow the cars, everyone's hoping for a better show here Sunday,. whel) the race will begin in daylight and end under the lights. "I think they're going to be a handful in the daylight ·hours," said two-time Cup champion Tony Stewart, who finished second to Dale Earnhardt Jr. in last Saturday night's 70-lap exhibition, the first Daytona race for the new cars. "When it cools off, I think it's going to help everybody. "Even .though these cars get a bigger run. they don't ' -' AP photo Denny Hamlin, right, leads Tony Stewart (20), Jeff Gordon (24) and Kasey Kahne (9) across the finish line to win the 2nd Gatorade Duel qualifying auto race at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla.

Sure, Fortune 500 companies will be splashed all over car hoods and fenders in Sunday's Daytona 500. But behind those flashy corporate logos, there are signs NASCAR's runaway prosperity and popularity are beginning to plateau. Television ratings that leaped. in recent years began to slip last season. And NASCAR officials are having Second thoughts' about a rash of recent major changes intended to make the sport more palatable to mainstream sports f~ns - moves 11/~~ilt~l that might have alienated the hard-core base.

"That's what I tell our guys. When you see the.. Jnomy starting to slip, everybody's going to get squeezed. You might not feel It now, but there's a trickle-down effect." Even as Chevrolet drivers Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jimmie Johnson. whooped it up in victory lane last weekend, Chevy's parent company, General Motors, was preparing !o announce a record $38.7 billion loss for 2007. Chevy's racing budget is pocket change in GM's overall budget, and the company considers NASCAR an important advertising platform. But the bad news stoked an undercurrent of long-standing · concerns about the automakers' ability to keep spending at the same pace team owners' costs are rising. Even · Hendrick, who should be riding high after Earnhardt won the Bud Shootout exhibition race in his debut with Hendrick Motorsports and two-time defending Cup series cham' pion Johnson won the Daytona 500 pole position, is thinking about the government's economic stimulus package and how it might affect his empire of car dealerships.

Evernham sold majority ownership of his team to Montreal Canadiens owner George Gillett . partly because Evemham couldn't stomach the business end of the sport. Though Evernham says NASCAR remains a good investment for sponsors, he's worried that won't be the case if costs continue to skyrocket. Evernham said it costs more than $20 million to run one car for a full season. "If it goes up to 40 and 50 million dollars, the spread struggling economy. might be fine.

BY MIKE HARRIS ASSOCIATED PRESS DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - It's time to find a new title for NASCAR 's Car of Tomorrow. After a 16-race . preview last year, the bigger, bulkier and, hopefully, safer vehicle is now the car of today. It will be used for the entire 2008 Sprint Cup season, beginning with Sunday's Daytona 500. "No use complaining or worrying about it," said Chad Knaus, the crew chief who has guided Jimmie Johnson to two straight Cup titles. "It's what we have to work with iiow.

"That makes all the sense in the -world," said team owner Jack .Roush. "It was just taking too many 'resources to build the old car and the CoT. What NASCAR did was good for everybody.'' Last year, the new car raced only on tracks shorter than I 1/2 miles, with the exception of the road races in Sonoma, Calif. and Watkins Glen, N.Y., and the fall event at the 2.66-mile Talladega track.

"I think they're going to be a handful in the daylight ·hours," said two-time Cup champion Tony Stewart, who finished second to Dale Earnhardt Jr. in last Saturday night's 70-lap exhibition, the first Daytona race for the new cars. "When it cools off, I think it's going to help everybody.

When it's more than just a place to buy books. A destination bookstore can make you feel like you're part of the community, whether you're grooving on the laid-back vibe at Powell's in Portland, or tuning into the Beltway buzz at Washington's Politics and ,Prose. Some bookstores offer literary touchstones, like . the . wooden chairs signed by writers who've visited That Bookstore in Blytheville; an Arkansas institution frequented by native son John .Grisham. City Lights in San Francisco, once a hangout' for Beat writers like Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac, draws tourists from around the world. ''Each one of these stores has a unique; distinct ~an­ ality and approach," smd Meg Smith, chief marketing bfficer for the American Booksellers Association, a trade group for independent . bookstores. "You really do see a snapshot of the town and the ·region in these kinds of fulsome independent bookstores." And don't pverlook the shopping potential. Most independent bookstores take pride in showcasing regional literature. Quirky handwritten signs with staff recommendations may direct you to writers you've never heard ' of. The tote bags at the Strand ~ bookstore in Manhattan, which come in more than 30 designs, were voted the No. I souvenir to bring home to Japan by New York readers of Nikkei, a Japanese financial newspaper.

"Our Coral Gables store IS built around a counyard in a Mediterranean-style building and our South Beach store is in a ~orgeous Art Deco building, ' said owner Mitchell Kaplan. The store also has branches in an upscale mall in Bal Harbour and on Grand C_ayman Island in .the Caribbean. Books & Books hosts 70 author events a month, and the. stores' specialties include art, architecture and reg\onal literature, including books about Cuba and Latin America. ·· Both the Coral Gables and Miami ·Beach stores also have fullservice restaurants.

The store continues to serve as a center for counterculture activities and politics. Recommendations , from its "Muckrakinf section, for example, mclude titles like "Th~ Fall of the House of Bush" and . "What Orwell Didn't Know." Tourists also like to stop in at the bar next door, Vesuvio, to have a drink where Kerouac once bellied up. · ELLIOTT BAY BOOK CO.: 101 S.

Even people who've never been here feellike they know the place because many of its readings are broadcast on C-SPAN. "We have a lot of people who come here and the ftrSt thing they want to know is, 'Where does the author stand?'" said co-owner Barbara Meade. "They want to have the whole setting they see on television explained to them." January events include the authors of titles like 'The Nuclear Jihadist" and 'The Speculation Economy," but don't let the "Politics" in the store's name fool you. Readers can fmd books here in any genre; the·store's children's section is especially well-regarded. POWELL'S CITY OF BOOKS: 1005 W. Burnside, Portland, Ore.; http://www.powells.com or 800-878-7323.

When it's more than just a place to buy books. A destination bookstore can make you feel like you're part of the community, whether you're grooving on the laid-back vibe at Powell's in Portland, or tuning into the Beltway buzz at Washington's Politics and ,Prose. Some bookstores offer literary touchstones, like . the . wooden chairs signed by writers who've visited That Bookstore in Blytheville; an Arkansas institution frequented by native son John .Grisham. City Lights in San Francisco, once a hangout' for Beat writers like Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac, draws tourists from around the world. ''Each one of these stores has a unique; distinct ~an­ ality and approach," smd Meg Smith, chief marketing bfficer for the American Booksellers Association, a trade group for independent . bookstores. "You really do see a snapshot of the town and the ·region in these kinds of fulsome independent bookstores." And don't pverlook the shopping potential. Most independent bookstores take pride in showcasing regional literature. Quirky handwritten signs with staff recommendations may direct you to writers you've never heard ' of. The tote bags at the Strand ~ bookstore in Manhattan, which come in more than 30 designs, were voted the No. I souvenir to bring home to Japan by New York readers of Nikkei, a Japanese financial newspaper. Any list of destination bookstores is bound to leave off some favorites. But here are nine noteworthy bookstores around the country that are definitely worth a visit.

Fla., http://www.booksandbooks.com or 305-4424408. Some bookstores are crammed with serpentine rows of dusty shelves aching with books ·- but that's not what you'll find at Books & Books, which has three locations in addition to its Coral Gables flagshi~. "Our Coral Gables store IS built around a counyard in a Mediterranean-style building and our South Beach store is in a ~orgeous Art Deco building, ' said owner Mitchell Kaplan. The store also has branches in an upscale mall in Bal Harbour and on Grand C_ayman Island in .the Caribbean. Books & Books hosts 70 author events a month, and the. stores' specialties include art, architecture and reg\onal literature, including books about Cuba and Latin America. ·· Both the Coral Gables and Miami ·Beach stores also have fullservice restaurants. CITY LIGHTS BOOKS: 261 Columbus Ave.. San Francisco; http://www.citylights.com/ or 415-362-8 193. This store, a city landmark, WaS co-founded in 1953 by poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti, who also started City Lights Publishers and was arrested on obscenity charges for publishing Ginsberg's famous poem "HowI." The store continues to serve as a center for counterculture activities and politics. Recommendations , from its "Muckrakinf section, for example, mclude titles like "Th~ Fall of the House of Bush" and . "What Orwell Didn't Know." Tourists also like to stop in at the bar next door, Vesuvio, to have a drink where Kerouac once bellied up. · ELLIOTT BAY BOOK CO.: 101 S. Main St., Seattle; http://www.elliottbaybook,com/ or 800-9625311. Elliott Bay Book Co. is located in Seattle's historic Pioneer Square district, once the city's Skid Row but now knowri for nightclubs, galleries, sports arenas and architecture - · including the 1867 red- · brick building that houses Elliott Bay. Cedar shelves offer 150,000 new and used titles in rooms with exposed brick walls, and one or two readings are held every night. "It can be anyone from a first- time poet to Dave Sedaris returning for his lOth time," said Elliott Bay spokeswoman Tracy Customers search for books in the Rose Room at Powell's Bookstore in downtown Pottland, Ore ..

POLITICS AND PROSE: 5015 Connecticut Ave. NW, Washington; http:l/www.politics,prose.com/ or 800-7220790. Even people who've never been here feellike they know the place because many of its readings are broadcast on C-SPAN. "We have a lot of people who come here and the ftrSt thing they want to know is, 'Where does the author stand?'" said co-owner Barbara Meade. "They want to have the whole setting they see on television explained to them." January events include the authors of titles like 'The Nuclear Jihadist" and 'The Speculation Economy," but don't let the "Politics" in the store's name fool you. Readers can fmd books here in any genre; the·store's children's section is especially well-regarded. POWELL'S CITY OF BOOKS: 1005 W. Burnside, Portland, Ore.; http://www.powells.com or 800-878-7323.

She added that locals love to bring their outof-town guests in: "They'll say, 'This is my bookstore,' and show them around with a lot of pride and ownership.''

For many diners. perennial vegetables are an acquired taste. The leaves of this wild chicory plant, for example, are frequently considered strong if eaten uncooked. Some of that bitterness can be neutralized by mixing a few of the uncommon edibles with more . traditional salad fixings like iceberg lettuce, an aimual. Chicory is probably better kn'own for its roots which can be roasted, ground and used as.a coffee substitute. AP photo A second-year rhubarb emerges from the ground in this undated photo in New Market. Va. Rhubarb is one of the most"· widely grown of any perennial vegetables, yet it's ·loaded with toxins. Its leaves and roots. are poisonous, capable· of causing nausea, dizziness, convulsions and possibly death. Avoid eating anything but the stalks of rhubarb and then only when cooked and in moderation. What you don't know about some veget~bles can hurt you BY DEAN FOSDICK FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Perennial vegetables are an enduring lot. Many are capable of surviving drought, recurring cold, deep shade and shon periods of flooding . · Some even-have developed natural defenses for discouraging predators. But those chemical and physical barriers mean people should proceed with caution, particularly when sampling new ·food plants, said Eric Toensmeier, author of "Perennial Vegetables: From Artichoke to Zuiki Taro, a Gardener~s Guide to Oyer I 00 Delicious Easy-to-Grow Edibles." "Make sure to prepare the food properly," Toensmeier said. "Some vegetables are toxic when raw, but quite healthy to eat when sufficiently cooked. Also, make sure you are eating the proper pan of the plant." Some plant-specific warnings: • Stinging nettles. Initial impressions aside, nettles are excellent for eating when boiled, Toensmeier said. They're among the very first of the green vegetables to emerge in spring, often while snow is on the ground. "Nenles are probably more appreciated by diners outside the United States," he said. "They•re·considered a gourmet plant ih Italy. But you've got to pick them with gloves on. They're covered with stinging hairs that work like little.syringes, injecting a painful mix of chemicals including formic acid. Nettles need this defense because their leaves .are so nutritious." · • Bracken rem. Fiddleheads or the coiled young fronds of many ferns are considered eminently edible, but those of the bracken variety (Pteridium aquilinium) have been linked with stomach cancer and probably should be avoided, Toensmeier said. • Water parsnip. This is an aquatic wild edible valued for the taste of its roots. "Unfonunately, it is very difficult to distinguish water parsnip from the deadly water hemlock, and so I recommend that only experienced botanists experiment with this plant," Toensmeier said. • Cactus pads. Cactus is a popular edible . plant in Mexico, where they were domesticated some 9,000 years ago. They've become three times as widely grown there as carrots, Toensmeier said; and have become an important commercial crop, especially the sweet fruits of some Opuntia cacti or '·tunas." · · The pads of many prickly pear cacti are covered with spines, however, making them a challenge to harvest and cook. Even some of the spineless varieties grow bulges called glochids. Their tiny hairs can cause itching and irritation for days, he said. Wear leather gloves and peel them a~ you would a cucumber. Rinse well to ensure all the spines and glochids have been removed. • Rhubarb. The leaves and roots of rhubarb are poisonous, capable of causing nausea, dizziness, convulsions and possibly death. Leaf stalks are the edible portions of this popular fruit-like vegetable but only after they've been cooked and only when served in moderate amounts. "Make sure to train any children who might be in your garden to avoid eating anything but the stalks of rhubarb," Toensmeier said. "The stalks contain only the relatively harmless oxalic acid." People have eaten perennial ve~etables for centuries, Toensmeier said. "They're usually easier to grow but often harder to harvest and process. Just use a bit of common sense when cooking some of these new plants for yourself, or when serving them to your friends who have never tried them before." .

Planting perennial vegetables is something like that. . Once they're there, all you. have to do is a little maintenance to yield a few seasons wonh of food. Perennial · vegetables, including th.e edible portions of trees, shrubs and vines, have gone largely unnoticed over the decades, aside from the ubiquitous rhubarb and asparagus beds planted in overgrown backyard patches. Yet these plants produce vegetable crops for many years without repla.nting, taste delicious, yield abundanti y and can be harvested when annual plants aren't available, says Eric in his Toensmeier, "Perennial Vegetables: From Artichokes to Zuiki Taro, A Gardener's Guide to Over I 00 Delicious and Easy-to-Grow Edibles." "I · think the information about what's been available out there has been greatly lacking," Toensmeier said in a telephone interview from Holyoke, Mass. "But vegetable gardening is picking way up in popularity and se.ed companies and .nurseries have begun offering more perennials. I hope those upward trends mesh and continue."

"Most vegetable gardeners want their gardens to be as productive as possible over as long a season as possible," Gill · says. "TYpical annual vegetables are planted, produce abundantly for a time, finish production and are removed," freeing up space. "Most perennial vegeta' bles are quite different in how they are grown. Take asparagus, for instance. We harvest fresh, young asparagus spears in March and Apri I here in south Louisiana. After that, there is no more production from the asparagus. However, the asparagus plants are perennial and the same . plants grow from year to year. They essentially 'own' that ·spot in the garden year'round." It's unlikely that perennials will replace annual vegetables in popularity, Toensmeier said. ''I'm not advocating that," he said. ~But there .is a place on your property for a blend of the two. These lesser-known vegetables are not just fun novelties for the garden. Perennials are plants whose time has finally come."
