Key Club key in decorating Winchester Square By CARMEN ENSINGER Scott County Times The Winchester Civic Group put out a call for help in decorating the Winchester Square this year for the holiday season, and their call was more than answered Saturday morning as the square was abuzz with action. Around 30 members of the Winchester High School Key Club were busy decorating the trees in the park as part of class competition within the Key Club. Each class, from freshman to senior, was designated a tree in the park and tasked with decorating it. High School Principal Denny Vortman explained why the Key Club decided to hold the competition within their club. “A lot of it had to do with they just wanted to do something different,� Vortman said. “They haven’t had a chance to do a whole lot with COVID, so we have had to find different ways to separate ourselves but still do something fun because they have missed a lot. They have missed homecoming already, and they are just looking to do something to get involved.� Tina Brown, with the Winchester Civic Group, was thrilled to see all the young people come out to help. “Last year, there were just a few of us that showed up out here to put up decorations,� Brown said. “There was a lady who was over 80 up on a ladder putting up decorations in a tree, and I didn’t want to see that happen this year, so I am so happy to see all of these young people come out and help this year.� With 43 members, the Key Club is one of the most popular clubs on the Winchester High School campus. Formerly known as the Winchester Leadership Group, the name was changed when they partnered with the Kiwanis Club two years ago and are now considered a part of the Kiwanis Club and known as the Kiwanis Key Club. For the past three years, they have organized the Christmas Light Parade, which closes out Winchester’s Hometown Christmas on Dec. 5.

A post on social media by the Winchester Civic Group asking for submissions for the parade gave the impression that the parade was in danger of not taking place if there were not more entries. Vortman said this was not the case. “I think we will get our entries in – we would just like them in sooner this year for planning purposes,� he said. “We are trying to plan ahead. Normally, we will get anywhere between 10 to 15 entries in the last two or three days before the parade, so this year we are just asking those

Plane crashes in western Scott County By BETH ZUMWALT Scott County Times A 2000 Van’s RV6A Winged Aircraft crashed Thursday evening around 8 p.m. near Orville. The Illinois State Police, which managed the scene until the Federal Aviation Administration could respond, said the plane was flying southwest

when the aircraft began to experience a fuel problem. The pilot, Matthew B. Smith, 44, Dallas, Texas, attempted to make a landing in an open farm field. The front end of the aircraft dug into the recently tilled field causing the aircraft to overturn before coming to rest on its top. There were no reported injuries.

people to be a little quicker and a little sooner in deciding to get an entry in the parade.� There is a $30 entry fee, but those funds will certainly go to a good cause. The fee will be split between the Winchester Historical Society and the Ministerial Association. The only requirement is that the parade entry must contain a minimum of 100 lights. The parade will start at 6 p.m. and line up will be at 5 p.m. at the Scott County Fairgrounds. Entry forms should be turned in by Dec. 1 if possible.

Outreach Community Center Thanksgiving giveaway biggest ever By CARMEN ENSINGER Scott County Times Prior to this year, the most families the Outreach Community Center in Winchester has ever provided a Thanksgiving meal to was around 80, so the organizers felt pretty confident that the 90 baskets of goods with everything needed to prepare a complete Thanksgiving meal would be enough to serve everyone who came Saturday morning for the annual holiday and monthly food giveaway. They were wrong. “This was the most families we have ever had come for the Thanksgiving meal giveaway,� Outreach Community Center Organizer Marsha Mayner said. “We were able to serve 90 families, but, sadly, we had to turn five families away.�

"I think we are going to start to see food shortages in the store again before long."

KEY CLUB MEMBERS MAKE NICE LIST RINGING BELLS

Natalie Wellenreiter takes her turn ringing the Salvation Army bell in front of the Great Scott Community Market Saturday morning earning community service points as a member of the Winchester Key Club. Various members of the Key Club took turns ringing the bell Saturday morning switching off between decorating the trees in the park for Christmas and ringing the bell.

Because of COVID, since March, the food giveaway has been done through the back door of the center. Families drive up to the back door and volunteers pack the food out to the vehicles. Needless to say, the cars begin to line up early. “There were cars already in line when I got here at 6:30 this morning,� Mayner said. “We didn’t start handing it out until 10 a.m., so that is how desperate people are for food right now, especially right now around the holidays. For some people, this is the only holiday meal they will have.� The unique aspect of the food giveaway at Outreach is that it doesn’t matter where you live or what your income is – you are still welcome to get food if you need it. They not only serve the people of Scott County, but people from Greene and Morgan as well. Normally, the monthly food giveaway is handed out on the last Saturday of the month, but during November and December, it is given out on the Saturday before Thanksgiving and Christmas so people will have food for these holidays. In addition to the regular items, also included are the fixings for a special meal. For example, this month, for Thanksgiving, the 90 lucky families received a Kretschmar ham, potatoes, stuffing, egg noodles, cornbread, gravy, vegetables, and so on – everything needed for a complete Thanksgiving meal. With the state entering Tier 3 mitigations again and the strong possibility of more people losing their jobs, Mayner was asked if the center would be providing more than the monthly food giveaways as

Lindsay Littig unpacks one of the Kretschmar hams that were handed out to the 90 families that were served by the Outreach Community Center Saturday at the special Thanksgiving monthly food giveaway.

they did back in March when they offered up to three per month for the first three months. “No, not at this time because we are having such a hard time just getting food for our monthly food giveaway now,� Mayner said. “We get our food from the Central Illinois Food Bank, and the list we order from gets smaller and smaller each month. We got a big truck load in October but not so much this month, so the donations are down as far as what the food banks are getting.� Mayner said that big stores like Walmart, Sam’s Club and Kroger are not donating as much food as they have in the past, and this is being reflected in the donations that are being made to places like the Outreach Center. Unfortunately, Mayner thinks it isn’t going to stop there. “I think we are going to start to see food shortages in the store again before long,� she said. “And when that happens, it makes our numbers go up because more people look to us for food.� With Thanksgiving out of the way, the center is now concentrating on Christmas. The children’s Christmas toy giveaway signup ended last Sunday with 310 signed up for the program. “Normally, we would just have families come in here and pick up the items for their children, but with COVID we can’t do that this year,� Mayner said. “So, we had to have them pre-register and then give them a time to come and pick them up.� The center will have three pick-up days on Dec. 11-13 with the times staggered 10 minutes apart. “Even at 10 minutes apart, we can only do six families in an hour,� Mayner said. “We just can’t have the families overlapping. This entire year has just been a little overwhelming in every aspect.�

DCEO reminds local governments to submit eligible costs for the Local CURE program funding The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) is issuing a reminder today to all local governments eligible for the Local CURE program to seek allotted funds before federal COVID-19 emergency relief funds expire. To manage funds within the federal deadline of Dec. 30, DCEO requires by Dec. 1 local governments submit a survey, indicating anticipated use of allotted funds. Eligible expenses are those incurred due to the COVID-19 public health emergency, including: public health and public safety payroll, COVID-19 testing and contact tracing, emergency medical expenses, and public health spending which was incurred to facilitate compliance with public health orders. Costs for the program must be incurred between March 1, 2020 and Dec. 30, 2020. Through this process, the State of Illinois will ensure that all federal CARES Act dollars are deployed to meet needs of communities before funds are reallocated back to the federal government. While DCEO has initiated the certification process with all 1,400+ governments that are eligible, many have yet to complete necessary steps to claim funds allotted to their communities. A total of 503 local government units across Illinois have received or are on pace to receive Local CURE payments totaling $112 million so far. However over 400 local governments are still eligible and have yet to follow necessary steps for these funds. A list of these cities and towns still eligible to receive Local CURE funds can be found at: https:// www2.illinois.gov/dceo/CURE/Local%20 CURE_LGU%20that%20need%20to%20 Certify%20or%20Register.pdf Over the last several months, DCEO has partnered closely with local governments to help them recoup the maximum amount of reimbursement allowed under their Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) eligibility. DCEO has launched a user-friendly website, fielded thousands of calls, conducted dozens of webinars and stood up dedicated office hours to provide step-by-step instruction on submitting eligible costs over the phone with its team of experts. “We know how hard the pandemic has hit cities and towns across our state, which is why we are strongly urging every local government eligible to take action today to claim the maximum costs,” DCEO Director Erin Guthrie said. “Through the Local CURE program, we have developed a streamlined system to help governments of all sizes identify costs eligible for federal reimbursement, to submit them, and to receive payment within days. Given the extent of the need, the upcoming December 1 deadline will guide the state in ensuring that all eligible funds are placed into the hands of communities in need so they are not returned to the federal government.” Funding made available through Local CURE will help cover costs for public health and public safety payroll, PPE and other emergency costs related to the COVID-19 response. Approximately $121 million remains available to local governments for reimbursement on COVID-19 emergency expenses in this current round of funding.

“Given the enormous pressure COVID19 has placed on all of our budgets, it is the duty of every financial officer in local government to seek as much funding possible from this critical program,” Louisa Terronez Ewert, treasurer of Rock Island County and president of the Illinois County Treasurers Association, said. “In Rock Island County we have already started receiving reimbursement funds through the Local CURE program, and it couldn’t come at a more needed moment. We are grateful to DCEO for providing hands-on assistance at every step of the way making it easy to submit and receive our funds.” Local government units are urged to complete the steps displayed on DCEO’s website and claim costs before funds prior to the deadline of Dec. 30, 2020, the last day costs may be incurred. Ahead of this deadline local governments must complete a survey by Dec. 1 to indicate the estimated amount of eligible reimbursement requests they intend to submit. This survey will allow the Department to determine if they have need for additional funds beyond their original allocation or if they will not use the funds which have been allocated in their entirety. “Applying for Local CURE was easy, and the City of Sesser was able to receive our funding in a timely manner,” Jason Ashmore, mayor of Sesser, said. “I encourage fellow municipalities who are eligible to take note of the requirements to receive this money and to work with DCEO to navigate the process.” After reviewing all eligible requests submitted through the survey, DCEO will reallocate any unassigned funds from local governments that will not use their full allotments to others in need of additional funding. The final deadline to receive reimbursement for eligible costs is Jan. 31, 2021. DCEO has worked closely with legislators, counties, municipalities and many other units of government to support local officials with understanding of the stringent federal requirements and any assistance they need to apply for reimbursements under this program. In addition to economic support for cities and towns, DCEO has also launched several financial assistance programs for small businesses to help offset the financial losses brought on by COVID-19. The historic Business Interruption Grants (BIG) program created by Governor Pritzker remains open and accepting applications for grants that can help with COVID19 related costs, including: PPE, payroll, rent/utilities and other operational costs. To date, more than 5,500 grants have been issued, and $129 million remains. For more information on BIG or to apply today, please visit the BIG program webpage. Local CURE was created by the Pritzker administration and the Illinois General Assembly to quickly and equitably distribute federal CARES Act funds to those communities which did not receive their own direct allocation of the Coronavirus Relief Fund. For more on Local CURE, eligible costs, or to receive technical assistance with certification or submitting costs, please visit DCEO’s webpage.

Hello Scott County, I see people are beginning to get the Christmas spirit and decorate for the big holiday. I saw some beautiful decorations this weekend. Some of the surrounding towns are really in the decorating mood. If you get bored or restless at home take the family and go for a drive and see how many you can find. I am sorry to hear the city is no longer picking up branches and limbs from our yard waste. It creates a problem for senior citizens that do not have anyone with a vehicle to haul the waste. The wind the last few days has certainly left its mark on our yards. It seems we are paying more and getting less in everything these days. If we get enough limbs from our yard will we be allowed to have a

“I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.” Psalm 9:1 NIV

W

e should give thanks at all times, and perhaps most of all when we can’t think of anything to be thankful for. When we’re feeling sad and lonely it can be difficult to imagine what there is to be thankful for, but the sentiment of gratitude is often what brings about the change of attitude. It may be a platitude that the attitude of gratitude determines your emotional altitude, and yet it really is true. That is, whether you’re feeling high or low is often linked directly to how thankful you are. And sometimes there is objectively not much to be thankful for, and we just have to be thankful for the good things that will come our way in the future. No matter how low our mood, we know that moods are

bound to change. Fear and anger, for instance, consume a lot of energy, and soon give way to a tired state that just can’t keep the fear and anger going. And once we’re in that more relaxed state, we can give thanks and try to keep the more pleasant mood going. Thank God for every new day, and for the opportunity to do good work and to love your fellow man. Truly there is much to be thankful for. –Christopher Simon

LaHood leads effort to revive hospitality and tourism industry Representatives Darin LaHood (IL-18), Steven Horsford (NV-04), and Jimmy Panetta (CA-20) today introduced the bipartisan Hospitality and Commerce Job Recovery Act to revitalize the tourism and hospitality industries, which have been severely impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. A companion to the U.S. Senate legislation introduced by Senators Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) and Keven Cramer (R-N.D.), the Hospitality and Commerce Job Recovery Act will provide comprehensive relief for the convention, entertainment, hospitality and travel industries and their workers by creating new recovery incentives and enhancing the employee retention tax credit until frequent travel and tourism safely resumes. “The COVID-19 pandemic and state-mandated closures continue to wreak havoc on communities and industries across Illinois’ 18th district, especially our hospitality, travel, and tourism sectors,� Rep. LaHood said. “Congress cannot sit on the sidelines any longer while businesses continue to struggle. This bipartisan bill will give these disproportionally affected businesses the support they need to recover from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.� “The hospitality, travel and tourism industries employ nearly 30 percent of Southern Nevada’s workers and are the lifeblood of our state’s economy. These sectors face unprecedented hardships amid the COVID-19 pandemic and have made every effort to keep their employees and customers safe as they fight to stay in business,� Congressman Horsford said. “I’m proud to introduce the Hospitality and Commerce Job Recovery Act to give them and their workers a fighting chance as we navigate these challenging times.� “If we don’t pass an economic relief package soon, our economy, including our local hospitality industry, will be severely damaged for years to come. The tax credits provided in our Hospitality and Commerce Jobs Recovery Act would provide much-needed revenue to those businesses so that they can preserve jobs and come back stronger than ever,� Congressman Panetta said. “This type of legislation is vital to protect the 22,000 travel and tourism employees who call the Central Coast home.� “Travel is by far the industry hardest hit by the ongoing fallout of the pandemic—accounting for 42 percent of all jobs lost in the U.S. since the start of the pandemic,� Tori Emerson Barnes, executive vice president of public affairs and policy at the U.S. Travel Association, said. “Without recovery measures like this bill, the industry is expected to take at least 5 years to recover to pre-pandemic levels of employment and economic activity. By targeting tax incentives on the areas that need the most help—including in the meetings and events and entertainment sectors—the Hospitality and Commerce Job Recovery Act will provide a significant boost to rebuilding travel jobs, helping to ensure the millions of Americans that rely on travel for income can get the financial stability they need. We thank Representatives Horsford, LaHood, and Panetta for taking a bold stand on behalf of America’s travel workforce.� “The bipartisan Hospitality and Commerce Job Recovery Act, introduced thanks to the continued leadership by Representatives Horsford and LaHood, is exactly what the hotel industry

needs to help recover, bring back jobs and reignite a continued investment in the communities they serve. The pandemic has all but decimated the hotel industry, with business and leisure travel grinding to a near halt and occupancy rates hitting record lows. Our data shows that 7 in 10 hoteliers won’t make it another six months without further federal assistance given the current drop in projected travel demand. That will have a ripple effect throughout our communities for years to come,� Chip Rogers, president and CEO of the American Hotel & Lodging Association, said. “Now, with the new surge in COVID-19 cases, we expect fewer Americans to travel this holiday season and we are incredibly worried about the coming months and what the drop in demand will mean for the industry and the millions of employees we have been unable to bring back. Our industry’s priorities have always focused on retaining and rehiring our workforce, and the tax incentives provided in this bill will alleviate some of the strain felt by the hospitality industry during this crisis and allow us, and the broader economy, to move towards recovery.� “We applaud Reps. LaHood and Horsford for their commitment to job recovery especially in the hospitality and commerce sectors,� Peter Pantuso, president and CEO of the American Bus Association, said. “Few industries have been hit harder by the COVID-19 pandemic as millions of people find themselves furloughed or unemployed, and the economy is losing hundreds of billions of dollars because people are not traveling right now. The men and women who rely on travel and tourism need help from Congress and they need it now.� Background: The COVID-19 pandemic presents a tremendous challenge to both public health and the economy, and no industry in the U.S. has been more severely impacted than the travel and hospitality sector. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in travel and tourism has fallen by 23.9 percent across the nation this year. The Hospitality and Commerce Job Recovery Act would address the significant challenges facing the tourism and hospitality industries as the U.S. continues to work toward recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, the Hospitality and Commerce Job Recovery Act would: Q Support the convention and trade show industries by establishing a tax credit for the cost of attending or hosting a convention, business meeting, or trade show in the United States between Jan. 1, 2021 and Dec. 31, 2023. Q Make improvements to the Employee Retention Tax Credit. Q Restore the Entertainment Business Expense Deduction. Q Support the restaurant industry by establishing a tax credit for restaurants or food service businesses, covering any cost associated with reopening or increasing service at an establishment forced to close down or reduce operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic— including any renovation, remediation, testing, or labor cost needed to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Credit would be effective between the date of enactment and Dec. 31, 2022. Q Provide a modest tax credit for qualified travel expenses for many Americans.

There are ways to get potted plants through winter Have you ever gone a little overboard buying plants and run out of room or energy to plant them all in the fall and figured it could wait until spring, only to find out most, or all have died? Or maybe you’ve had a container planter with perennials and excitedly waited for them to resume growth in the spring, but it never happened. Perennials in pots are subjected to much harsher conditions compared to those in the soil. Because of this, they can be damaged and killed. Fortunately, there are some steps you can take to try to get these plants through the winter so you can enjoy them come spring. The most common way is storing them indoors. Places like an unheated garage, shed, or cool/cold basement can be good locations to place potted perennials for the winter. Many perennials need a cold dormancy to properly bloom and grow, so if your garage or basement is too warm (temperatures should be between 20 and 45 degrees Fahrenheit), you may need to look elsewhere. A second option is to sink your pots into the ground. By placing your pots in the ground, the surrounding soil can insulate the pot, providing protection from extremely cold temperatures and temperature fluctuations. Additionally, the pots and plants can be mulched to provide additional protection. Once the danger of a hard frost has passed, the pots can be removed from their holes. If digging a hole in the ground isn’t an option, or the pot is too large, you can group pots together in a protected location. Look for an area that doesn’t receive strong winds or too much sunlight, such as the north or east side of a building. Once you’ve clustered the pots, mulch them heavily with straw, leaves, or wood mulch. Once growth resumes in the spring, remove the mulch and return the pots to their rightful place. Note: these steps are best for hardy perennials, nonhardy plants like geraniums

State issues stricter mitigations amid hospitalization surge Casinos, gaming terminals to close; capacity limits to take eect

By JERRY NOWICKI Capitol News Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker announced the entire state would enter Tier 3 of his mitigation plan starting Friday as he noted the best way for Illinoisans to avoid another stay-at-home order was by staying home. “Tier 3 boils down to this: if you don’t need to do it, don’t,� Gov. JB Pritzker said of leaving the home as COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations continue to soar. Pritzker, at his daily briefing early last week, said the Tier 3 mitigations stop short of a stayat-home order, although staying home was the best option for limiting the virus’ spread. More businesses are allowed to remain open than when he issued a stay-at-home order in March because more is known about the virus, he said. The announcement that certain businesses – including casinos and indoor gaming terminals – would close came as the Illinois Department of Public Health reported another 12,601 new confirmed and probable cases of COVID-19 and 97 virus-related deaths Thursday. The Tier 3 mitigations also call for limiting home gatherings to household members and banning gatherings at meeting rooms, banquet centers, private party rooms, private clubs and country clubs. Funerals are limited to 10 family members of the deceased person. “To be very clear, we are relying on you here,� Pritzker said. “Nobody will go doorto-door to check on you. But we’re asking people to hold themselves and each other accountable.� The mitigations are needed, according to the governor and IDPH Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike, because hospitalizations are hitting a point of exponential growth, meaning the rate

of increase is growing faster. Mitigations will be in place until numbers start to decrease significantly, the governor said. Hospitalizations pushed past new highs again at the end of Monday, with 5,887 hospital beds in use by COVID-19 patients, an increase of 306 from the day before. It’s the 23rd straight day of increases. In Region 7 of the state’s mitigation plan, made up of Will and Kankakee counties, only 12 percent of hospital medical and surgical beds, and 16 percent of intensive care unit beds remained available at the end of Monday. Statewide, intensive care bed usage for COVID-19 increased by 14, with 1,158 beds in use at the end of Monday, pulling within 140 of the record set during the first wave. The number has increased for 12 straight days. Ventilator usage increased by 31 to 545. “In hospitals throughout the state, one out of every four patients has COVID and that number is only going to grow,� Ezike said. “So if those COVID numbers grow, and flu hospitalizations will grow, where will someone go with chest pain? Where would they go if they acutely notice facial droop? After a car accident? We have to be able to take care of all of the people of Illinois and have the hospital capacity to do so.� The virus spreads through respiratory droplets and when people are in close contact with one another, so the new mitigations are aimed at keeping people further apart from one another, she said. “Right now this virus has backed us into a corner,� she said. “And we are left making insanely difficult and weighty decisions. We all want to get back to normal but we can’t get there just yet. I urge people to turn their frustration and their anger into something positive. Instead of trying to buck

the mitigations, can we all just follow them, acknowledging that these are what are needed to get back to some semblance of normal?� Health and fitness centers will be allowed to operate at 25 percent capacity as long as all patrons wear a face covering and reservations will be required. Indoor classes will not be allowed and locker rooms will be required to close. The guidance also calls for a “pause� of all indoor group sporting and recreational activities including youth and adult recreational sports while Tier 3 mitigations are in place. This includes park districts and travel leagues. Outdoor sports and recreation are allowed but participant groups and practices outdoors will be limited to 10 people or less and social distancing is required along with face coverings. Non-essential retail facilities will be allowed to operate at 25 percent capacity, while pharmacies and grocery stores may operate at 50 percent capacity. Personal care services must operate at the lesser of 25 clients or 25 percent of capacity but can remain open as long as everyone wears a face covering throughout the appointment. Indoor service will continue to be banned at bars and restaurants, which will no longer be allowed to operate gaming terminals. The businesses must close by 11 p.m. and table sizes cannot exceed six people. The tier also closes indoor recreation centers such as theaters, performing arts centers and indoor museums and amusement centers. Outdoor activities are allowed at 25 percent of capacity or less, with outdoor group activities limited to 10 people or less, with face coverings and reservations required. Manufacturing facilities may remain open with several

safety and risk guidelines and contact tracing procedures in place. Some state House Republicans earlier in the day called for the governor to convene a special session for lawmakers to give input on mitigation plans. Democratic leaders in the General Assembly called off a planned November veto session, and when lawmakers last met in May, they decided not to pass measures allowing lawmakers to meet and vote remotely after strong Republican opposition. Asked about including the General Assembly Tuesday, Pritzker said he has had “discussion after discussion with individual members of the Republican caucusesâ€? and taken into account their suggestions on “a number of industriesâ€? in consultations with doctors. “And so again‌what the doctors are trying to do is measure the risk and then take action based upon how we can limit risk, but still keep things going,â€? he said. The state’s rolling seven-day average case positivity rate sat at 12.7 percent Tuesday, a slight increase from Monday but a half point lower than Friday. Of the state’s 11 COVID-19 mitigation regions, 10 had positivity rates remain the same or decrease slightly from the day prior as of Nov. 14, the latest data available. Region 7 in Will and Kankakee counties saw its rate increase to 20.3 percent to top all regions, while Region 5 in southern Illinois was the lowest at 13.9 percent. –––––––––––––––––––––– Q Capitol News Illinois is a nonprofit, nonpartisan news service covering state government and distributed to more than 400 newspapers statewide.

may need to be handled differently. So why are we doing this? Most plants’ roots are far less cold hardy than their aboveground parts. Usually, this isn’t an issue because the soil will insulate the roots and protect them from extreme cold temperatures. While potted plants may be in a growing media, the amount of media is small and will get much colder than soil in a landscape. Since potted plants’ roots are exposed to colder conditions than those in the ground, it’s a good idea to look for plants that will survive in a hardiness lower than yours. The general rule of thumb is to select plants that are two zones different than your zone. Depending on where you live in central Illinois, we are Zone 5 or 6. Therefore, you would want a plant that is hardy to Zone 3 or 4 if you plan to overwinter it outdoors in a pot. Before getting pots ready to overwinter, make sure the plants inside are well watered, and check throughout the winter. This is especially important for evergreens to help prevent winter burn. Even after above-ground growth has gone dormant for the year, the roots will continue to take up water. In addition to providing water to the plants, moist growing media will freeze slower than dry media, offering additional protection. Q Good Growing Tip of the Week: Done with your pots for the year? Most containers can be damaged by freezing and thawing conditions if the growing media is left in them during winter. Remove the growing media from pots and store them upside-down to prolong their useful life. PETITIONS AVAILABLE The Consolidated Election is April 6, 2021.
