LAPORTE COUNTY, Ind. — A South Bend woman is facing serious charges after allegedly smuggling marijuana into the Indiana State Prison on Michigan City's west side. According to court documents, 38-year-old Janise Clark was apprehended on Sunday while reporting for her shift as a correctional officer. A fellow staff member noticed her plastic-wrapped sandwich looked suspicious, prompting further inspection. When the sandwich was placed in an X-Ray machine, it revealed two vacuum-sealed plastic bags containing nearly a half pound of marijuana hidden between the slices of bread.

A sweet, juicy slice of watermelon is one of the best things about summertime, but way too many times I’ve stared dubiously at the pile of melons at the store, trying to decide which one to choose. Often when I get home and slice it open, the melon is a disappointing light pink and not at all sweet.

Learn about pruning basil to make it bushy, and then use this quick pesto recipe to make make delicious basil pesto with your harvest. Sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum) is a taste of summertime.

When you pinch the basil tops early on, the plant will bush out with new stems for a plant full of basil tops.
