  Contributing writer
  Recently, I was sleeping on a blow-up mattress in the middle of the downstairs living room of my sister’s house in South Carolina. I was awakened by a weird scraping sound.

• Dodgers in a dilemma as Joe Kelly continues to struggle

  25-04-2019 21:37
  
  CHICAGO — The Dodgers broke from their established practice by signing a setup reliever to a big free-agent contract last offseason, expecting Joe Kelly to pitch in high-leverage situations for them.
  That hasn’t worked out well so far.
  Kelly allowed runs in seven of his first 10 appearances with the Dodgers and took an ERA of 9.82 into Thursday’s game. Opposing batters had hit .367 (18 for 49) with a .633 slugging percentage against him, thanks to four doubles and three home ru

  25-04-2019 21:22
  
  In 2009, NHRA introduced a new style of drag racing – four wide – at zMax Dragway at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Rather than the traditional two participants in a side-by-side battle, the sanctioning body added two more entrants. While racers were uncertain of the format, it has since become a staple and another four-wide event was added in 2018 at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
  Both tracks are part of the O. Bruton Smith inventory of tracks that include Bristol and Sonoma.

• Why teen summer jobs are far and few between

  25-04-2019 21:00
  
  A summer job has become a rite of passage for American teenagers. From scooping ice cream to lifeguarding at the community pool, summer jobs have allowed teens to earn some extra cash before heading back to school in the fall. But over the past few decades, the rate of teenagers looking for summer jobs has fallen significantly. One contributing factor to the decline: Rising state and local minimum wages.
  Over the past several years, many states and locales have embraced higher wage mandates, som

  Q: I have many pillbugs living in my compost pile. I don’t mind them in the compost, but I don’t want them in my garden space. How do I keep them away from my tender, young plants?
  A: Sowbugs and pillbugs are soil-dwelling crustaceans that primarily feed on decaying plant material. For this reason, they are beneficial inhabitants of your compost pile because they assist in breaking down vegetable matter into smaller fragments, which aids in decomposition.

  25-04-2019 15:15
  
  You can learn basic elements of garden design by visiting the Japanese garden in Woodley Park in Van Nuys, starting with the entrance gates. There are three contiguous gates, but only one is open. “The idea is to create mystery, which arouses your curiosity to go inside and take a closer look,” I learned from Stu Drexler, a garden docent. This principle may also be illustrated in winding garden paths, where what lies ahead is hidden from view by large shrubs or trees.
