Did you know? A previously unknown portrait of a woman by Vincent van Gogh has been revealed in a high-tech look beneath another of his 1887 paintings, “Patch of Grass.” It was announced Wednesday. Scientists used a new technique to peer beneath the paint of van Gogh’s “Patch of Grass.” It was already known there was likely a portrait of some sort there. Van Gogh was known to paint over his work perhaps as much as a third of the time. Behind the painting, done mostly in greens and blues, is a portrait of a woman rendered in browns and reds. The new technique is based on “synchrotron radiation induced X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy” and is said to be an improvement on X-ray radiography, which has been used to reveal concealed layers of other famous paintings.

Don’t miss this The new season of “Eureka” kicked off this week on the Sci Fi channel. The show airs 8 p.m. Tuesdays. The show is about the small town of Eureka, a top-secret residential development created by people like Albert Einstein and President Truman to protect and nurture America’s most valuable “intellectual resources.” In other words, it’s secretly a town full of geniuses. U.S. marshal Jack Carter accidentally finds himself in Eureka along with his teenage daughter, and he ends up staying and becoming sheriff. — Free Press Staff and news services

Couple turns large lawn to backyard meadowland McClatchy-Tribune News Service

PHILADELPHIA — When Patricia and Conrad Cregan moved from Bustleton, Pa., to Huntingdon Valley, Pa., in 1984, the new house came with 11⁄3 acres and a John Deere lawn tractor. They were delighted: “We wanted more land,” says Patricia. They got it, along with a heavy-duty lawn-care regimen shared by millions of Americans. But by 2004, the water-

ing, weeding, fertilizing and mowing had gotten old. And Patricia, by then a volunteer at nearby Pennypack Ecological Restoration Trust, had learned about an alternative to the royal-family-style lawn. She suggested to her un-outdoorsy husband, “Why don’t we rip up the backyard and plant a meadow?” Sounds so easy, so carefree. And how romantic is this? Every spring, the meadow rolls out a rain-

bow: first violets, then lavender and Indian paintbrush, yellow coreopsis and orange butterfly weed, purple coneflower and bee balm, black-eyed Susans and goldenrod. All this and more, dotted with native grasses, everything shimmering in the sun, bending in the breeze and offering year-round beauty and food and shelter to the all-important “3 B’s” — bees,
