GWU Hosts "Wednesdays at the Webb' for Local High School Students Event Introduces Students from Cleveland, Rutherford, Gaston and Lincoln Counties to 'Foothills Commitment' Boiling Springs, NC - High school students from Cleveland, Rutherford, Gaston or Lin- coln counties in North Carolina are invited to "Wednesdays at the Webb" at Gardner- Webb University. Offered every Wednesday at 3 p.m., this event introduces local stu- dents to the world-class education available in their own backyard. "Students will have a chance to take a campus tour, hear more about the 'Foot- hills Commitment' scholarship program from GWU President Dr. William Downs and meet with an admissions counselor," explained Julie C. Fleming, Gardner-Webb interim vice president for Enrollment Management and assistant vice president for Undergradu- ate Admissions. "Also, our tour guides for 'Wednesdays at the Webb' are current stu- dents from one of the counties (Cleveland, Rutherford, Lincoln or Gaston). Students will have a chance to experience GWU while gaining more information about 'Foothills Commitment.'" Launched less than a year ago, the "Foot- hills Commitment" is Gardner-Webb's pledge to any new freshmen living on cam- pus who are residents of Cleveland, Ruth- erford, Gaston or Lincoln counties. Through the program, GWU will provide students from these four areas with total aid that is a minimum of 50 percent off tuition. Since announcing the program, GWU has enrolled 64.8 percent more local students. "At Gardner-Webb, we are reaching out di- rectly to the communities that surround us with fi nancial incentives," Downs affi rmed. "These are our neighbors and these are the families for whom Gardner-Webb was founded 115 years ago...we're eager to make our University accessible and afford- able for them." Those who attend "Wednesdays at the Webb" receive a "Foothills Commitment" visit bag containing GWU merchandise, and refreshments will be provided. Fleming also noted, "Visit day is open to any student from these counties who is considering attending GWU, regardless of high school class lev- el—sophomores, juniors or seniors."

Submitted by Jackie Bridges Each weekend in spring, summer and fall, mil- lions of homeowners fi re up their mowers and cut the grass in their yards. A few hours spent mowing the lawn can be a great time to get some sun and some exercise in the great outdoors. As fall gradually transitions to winter, home- owners may wonder when to stop mowing their lawns. Each lawn is different, and when to stop mowing may depend on a host of factors, includ- ing local climate and the type of turf. In addition to climate and turf, homeowners can keep an eye on these conditions to determine when the time is right to put their mowers away for the winter. • Frost: Warm-season grasses typically go dor- mant after a couple of signifi cant frosts. Home- owners can jot down each frost during fall. Frosts are most noticeable in the early morning hours, so be sure to check lawn conditions each morn- ing as the weather begins to grow cold. Frost may be noticeable without even going outside, but homeowners may need to go outside to check on chilly mornings or on days when the previous night was especially cold. If you must go outside, stay off the grass to protect it. Two or three frosts might be enough to make warm- season grasses go dormant for the winter. Cool- season grasses may keep growing and require moving even after a few frosts, so it's imperative that homeowners determine which type of grass is in their yards. • Soil temperature: If it's hard to determine if frosts have occurred, homeowners can try checking the temperature of their soil to decide if they need to keep mowing. The lawn care ex- perts at Pennington recommend homeowners continue mowing warm-season grasses so long as they keep growing. Lawns may not grow as quickly in fall as they do in spring or summer, and growth may not be as visible to the naked eye during this time of year as it is in other times. Homeowners can routinely check soil tempera- ture to determine if their grasses have stopped growing. Warm-season grasses tend to stop growing once the soil temperature is consistently at 55 F or below, while cool-season grasses tend to stop when temperatures are 45 F or lower. Falling leaves have long been a barometer used by homeowners to determine if they need to keep mowing their lawns. That's not necessarily a reliable metric, as grass can still keep growing even if leaves have been falling for weeks. In addition, using a mulching mower when leaves begin fall- ing is a great way to provide the lawn with nutrients it can use throughout the winter. Some trees shed their leaves more quickly than others, but it's a good rule of thumb that lawns will need to keep being mowed if trees are still retaining more than half their leaves. A host of factors can help homeowners determine when it's safe to put their mowers away for the winter. How to recognize when you can stop mowing
