Going, going, GONE

Repaving projects will be hitting four legs of the Five Corners this summer. After repaving Maple Street last year, the Vermont Agency of Transportation now plans to repave sections of Pearl, Lincoln, Main and Park streets. Meanwhile, the village trustees planned to award a contract for the Pearl Street missing link project at their meeting Tuesday night. Josh Hulett, the VTrans engineer overseeing the project, said his contractor, Frank W. Whitcomb Construction, will start on Route 2A next week and complete the daytime portions of work first. The Route 2A schedule is as follows: • Lincoln Place to 200 feet past North Street — 8:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. • Mill Street to the first set of railroad tracks — 8:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. • Winooski River Bridge to Mill Street — 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. See pAViNG, page 4

Unified district: Patience is key By COLIN FLANDERS Essex Westford School District’s new transportation model will require a dose of patience as it takes form next school year. That was the message from various district representatives who spoke during the community discussion at Essex High School last week, where about 60 attendees had a first look at plans for the new model that will bus Westford’s high school students and some in Essex Jct. for the first time. “As this new system comes online, we're going to have to be patient and understanding,” EWSD board member Brendan Kinney said. “Because our goal, of course, it to provide the safest, most efficient and cost effective transportation system we can.” Serving as a broad overview of the status quo and the district’s plans for the expansion, the meeting didn’t shed light on perhaps the most important part: route designs. Those must be drafted and road tested by the second week in August, Kinney said. The transportation companies and a consultant will draft potential routes before incoming superintendent Beth Cobb finalizes the details. Some were concerned this deadline gives parents little time to figure out their plans. Noting this, Westford School Board chairman Mark Drapa asked the unified district to focus on communication. “Give the system enough time and enough notice, across municipal, law enforcement, family, schools — the entire living breathing organism of each of these towns as they change,” Drapa urged. “Make sure we inform all of them along the way, so on day one, nobody's left surprised.” Some parents asked for a predictable and See TrANSpOrTATiON, page 3

Gov. talks economic development at Rotary By KAYLEE SULLIVAN Essex Rotarians engaged in a lively discussion with Gov. Phil Scott last week at the club’s weekly meeting, largely focused on economic development both specific to Essex and

statewide. Each year, the Rotary invites the governor to speak, president Sharon Dettenrieder said. The Colchester-Milton Rotary also attends. “We’re interested in his points of view about

economic development [for Essex] and especially retaining young people,” Dettenrieder added. Scott relied heavily on the two topics throughout his half-hour speech. His three main talking points were affordability, growing

the economy and helping those in need. If a proposal doesn’t align with one of those goals, it’s not worthwhile, he told the crowd. In his 119th event since taking office, Scott said talking with grassroots See SCOTT, page 3

Essex Police to attend recruitment event

By COLIN FLANDERS

Police agencies around Chittenden County, including Essex, will gather for a joint recruiting event for the first time ever this Friday. The all-day event at South Burlington Middle School will allow participants to take the entrance exam and fitness test, speak with agency representatives and possibly even interview on-site.

It’s an effort to address the county’s version of a national trend — a lack of qualified law enforcement candidates — that’s resulted in some local agencies holding vacancies for years. Essex Cpt. George Murtie believes a negative perception of law enforcement in recent years is to blame for the nationwide struggles, though he said Essex has mostly been immune. Still, the department has seen a decline

in qualified candidates, he said. Some applicants have failed the entrance exam, while others failed the polygraph test or were disqualified after a background check. That changed about two months ago, Murtie said, since which time EPD has received many applications, including a few qualified applicants. The department now hopes to be fully staffed later this year. Murtie said he’s also noticed more military veterans seeking a policing job.

“When people understand the difficulty of the police profession and the sacrifice that officers have to make to have a career, it seems like, in some respects, that is attractive to people who are service-minded,” Murtie said. “That is getting portrayed better in society or culture.” Essex already sent two would-be officers to the 104th Police Academy, which See pOliCE, page 4

Vien Le uses opportunities to give back

ien Le’s first night in America was much different than he expected. “I expected a house and a car,” he said, laughing. Instead, the then-16-year-old found a small radio inside his room. He turned it on and heard The Eagles’ “Hotel California,” the first song he’d hear in his new home. Le moved to Vermont on a sponsorship from Burlington’s St. Joseph’s Child Center. One of eight children, Le fled from South Vietnam at age 14, traveling on an overcrowded boat to Malaysia, where he lived as a refugee for two years shortly after the Vietnam War ended. Today, the 56-year-old Essex Jct. business owner knows the meaning of hard work. He owns two restaurants, Pho Dang and Sukho Thai. Earlier this month, Le walked over to the window table at Sukho Thai, sporting a freshly pressed button-down shirt and slim-fitting jeans. With a clipboard in one hand and a cell phone in another, he sat down. ready to discuss business. “OK, let’s get started,” he said with a big smile. Le traced his journey in Vermont starting in 1982, when he joined Heritage Printing in Burlington, working his way up to manager. Dave Lash, owner of Champlain Printing, heard of Le’s work ethic and offered him a sal-

He asked how he could ensure Le was happy with the company. Le knew he had the opportunity to better not only his own employment, but those around him. “If something happens to me and I get sick and I need to be in the hospital for a year, I want to get paid every week,” he recalls saying. “But not just me — everyone.” It was a tall order, and Le knew

it. But Lash agreed. A decade later, at the height of his printing career, Le’s life took yet another unexpected turn. Returning to his friend’s house after a night on the town, he saw a woman sitting on the couch. “I took one look at her and knew she was the one,” he said. He and Nina, now his wife, quickly fell in love, and he convinced her to quit a cleaning job at the University of Vermont to pursue her dream of becoming a nail

technician, paying for her entry to the program. Nina graduated with her license in 1996, returning home that day to a surprise: Le, with a pair of keys to Nina’s new nail salon in hand. “Is this true?” she asked. “Yes,” Le told her. “This is America. You own it.” Nina’s business would took off, allowing Le to leave his printing career in 2006 to help manage the busy salon. Four years later, a

friend offered Le the chance to buy his Essex restaurant. Despite having no prior experience, Le jumped at the chance. He purchased Pho Dang, a Vietnamese restaurant on Park Street. Success there led to his purchase of Sukho Thai, located right next to Nina’s salon at the Essex Outlets. They’ve been married for 17 years and have two children — Phillip, 17, and Sarah, 16 — who are often found working by their father’s side. Le’s not just a businessman; he also gives back to the community. He provides home-cooked creations to local schools and gift cards for his business to local senior centers. He also tries to travel to Vietnam once a year and ships packages of goods to 30 families in need. Two years ago, the couple brought their children there to show them how easy they have it in the U.S. “If I can make other people happy, that makes me so happy — even happier than them — and they don’t know it,” he said. At his age, when most are thinking of retirement, Le is just getting started. “I tell my kids, ‘I will have nothing for you when I die. What I will give to you is up here,’” he said, pointing to his head. “I want to help more families,” he continued. “I’m thinking about buying a new business to give back.”

LocaL TRANSPORTATION from page 1 reliable service, while others focused on safety, representing students who walk to school and those who ride the bus. Many issues raised mimicked those documented in the Vt. Department of Health’s study that examined various transportation modes’ health impacts. About half of the study’s 792 respondents, representing about 1,300 students across the district, said their children either drive or are driven, citing reasons like distance, weather or long bus rides. “You can basically center them around the big concept of safety,” Drapa said. Based on its findings, the health department shared several recommendations to encourage active transportation, and if that’s not possible, maximize busing. This includes crossing guards at priority intersections, secured and sheltered bike parking, appropriate signage to help bikers and walkers, a safe bus environment for students and minimizing idle times on the bus the start and end of the day. Chris Neagle, a bus driver in Essex Town, also called upon the district to help facilitate a safe pick-up location around its schools. Neagle said he and his colleagues are concerned about the lack of dedicated bus lanes at Fleming Elementary and Summit Street School. “You’re going to have kids all over the place, and that is a recipe for disaster,” he said. “Our biggest fear is that a student is going to be hit. We have people go through our lights every day, repeatedly.”

Several parents wondered how buses will even get to these schools. One suggested a drop-off location close by, where staff could then walk with students. Brian Hemenway, general manager of Student Transportation of America — parent company of Mountain Transit, which serves Essex Town and will now serve Essex Jct. — attended the meeting and said the discussions will help his company hone its focus over the coming months. Yet his biggest challenge when starting from scratch is finding qualified bus drivers, he said, blaming Chittenden County’s low unemployment rate, which puts commercial drivers at a premium. Mountain Transit currently has no drivers in place for the new Essex Jct. routes but hopes to begin hiring soon, Hemenway said. In the meantime, the company is using computerized software to compile routes and plans to focus its first new drivers on the longest ones. Hemenway said to address safety, he’s recommended separating younger and older students and needing administrators’ support to discipline students when drivers report a problem “to make sure the kids see that there’s teeth in the policy." He also stressed patience and said a working system relies on many minor details. As someone who grew up in Essex Jct., walking to Summit St. and Fleming as a child, Hemenway believes he’s well poised to lead these efforts. “I understand the intricacies of the village, and I think that’s going to help us tremendously,” he said.

Essex Jct. parent Stacy Jordan speaks during the community forum on transportation at Essex High School April 19.

SCOTT from page 1 organizations like the Rotary is helpful for gaining support. He spoke of three numbers that keep him awake at night: Six, three and one. Everyday, he said, there are six fewer people in the workforce, three fewer children in the kindergarten through 12th-grade education system and one baby born to an addicted mother. Vermont’s population, he added, remains stagnant at 650,000. Losing young people to other states is part of this trend, he noted. The governor, as he has since the campaign trail, spoke of investing in early childhood education. Higher education, including trade schools, also needs a boost, he added. Discussion then led to the recent proposal to combine Vermont’s Lottery Commission and the Department of Liquor Control. The idea is to have one commissioner head the two groups. According to Scott, the merger’s structure would save the state about half a million dollars. Earlier this month, the proposal was sent back for further study on what long-term implementations would entail. Questions from the crowd soon brought the conversation back to keeping youth in state. A gentleman nearing retirement asked if Vermont is losing folks from older generations as well. Vermont is losing the

Essex Rotarians listen as Gov. Phil Scott talks about economic development in Essex and the state of Vermont. most affluent people to states like Florida, Scott responded, because of high taxes. “Anything we can do to keep people here to be part

of the system, I think is going to be advantageous,” he said. One Rotarian said Essex isn’t attempting to compete with Burlington for

the college-graduate crowd. Instead, Essex is built more on a family foundation. The man said quality of life and safety ratings are reasons people return to the Green

Mountain State. A strong focus on growing the economy is vital in reversing this trend, Scott said, repeatedly mentioning Essex Jct.’s military contractor, Revision. Fewer taxes on people with military benefits and Social Security benefits is one option for growth, he told the Rotarians. The latter would occur over two or three stages, amounting to about $30 million in savings. Halting tax on military benefits would save about $5 million, he said. Scott recognized residents need more confidence in the economy. As a business owner, he said he understands the tendency to hunker down when financial trends aren’t optimistic. If confidence levels were to rise, then so would the direction of Vermont’s economy, he added. Developing a better relationship with Canada is one way of accomplishing economic goals, as is marketing Vermont’s attractive qualities, Scott said.

While the state’s tourism agency is small, Scott believes other agencies should take part in social media marketing, a forum for organizations to think outside the box in doing business, he said. The crowd’s next question was about affordable housing. One Rotarian said he wished Scott would reconsider the idea for a $2-per-night occupancy tax on hotel visits. Scott provided alternatives to the tax, noting a $35 million Housing Revenue Bond currently under consideration, as well closing the Southeast State Correctional Facility in Windsor, a $3 million annual cost he called “inefficient.” But being realistic is important, Scott said. “We can do things differently,” he said. “We can improve, and we can have a much different Vermont if we just start pulling in the right direction.”

And on Main Street, work is planned from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. from the Five corners to church Street, with daytime work continuing to the town-village line. Hulett is aware of the concern about Five corners’ congestion and has taken measures to cut down the project’s impact, including pushing the start time to 8:30 a.m. to avoid impacting daily commuters. He also said there are no plans to work on all four of the intersection’s five legs at the same time, and if that happens, it will be during the project’s final stretch. “of course, it’s road construction,” he said. “We have such a short duration to get this work done, to say that it’s going to be perfect and we won’t have impacts — I can’t say that.” The estimated completion date is late August. Hulett anticipates finishing before the champlain Valley Fair begins. The state project will overlap construction on the

The contractor, in conjunction with the Vermont Transportation Agency, plans to repave sections of Pearl, Main, Lincoln and Park Streets. so-called Pearl Street missing link project, which covers the section from Post office Square to Five corners. That project aims to widen and restripe Pearl Street to accommodate bike lanes, wider sidewalks and street lighting. Essex Jct. development director Robin Pierce said the village postponed the project last year while officials worked to secure temporary construction easements from affected property owners for the sidewalk rebuilds.

With those secured, Pierce estimated a May start date and an August completion. The project will look a bit different than planned, Pierce said, since bike lanes wouldn’t fit on both sides of the street between School Street and the Five corners. He chose to implement a lane on the uphill side. Pierce said the project is funded almost entirely by the state, save some costs for the streetlights and concrete sealant, which are valued above VTrans’ amenity

policy specifications. The village will pay $500 for each of the 47 lights, totaling $23,500, and $850 for the sealant. In a memo the trustees, Pierce recommended allocating $30,000 from the village’s capital reserve fund. “If you look at the lights in village center district then look at the standard light, $500 is nothing at all. It’s dramatically different, dramatically better,” Pierce said. While summer repaving hits full swing, hope for

starts July 31, and placed a third on standby. Those names could change if the department finds more qualified candidates, however, and EPD keeps a file of applicants in case future positions open, according to chief Brad LaRose. That’s why, despite a healthy applicant pool, EPD still plans to attend the recruiting event, LaRose said. Essex will join departments from Burlington, colchester, Hinesburg, Richmond, South Burlington, Willison and Winooski as well as University of Vermont Police, Vermont State Police, Vt. Fish and Wildlife and the chittenden county Sheriff ’s office. The event is unusual since departments that usually compete for applicants are now joining forces. Some local agencies offer sign-on bonuses for both certified officers and new recruits. Essex, however, doesn’t offer either.

a 2017 start to one of the village’s most highly anticipated transportation projects — the crescent connector — is fading fast. Regional planners chose the project for VTrans priority funding as an alternative to the circumferential highway around chittenden county. Like the missing link project, the only cost to the village would be upgrades to streetlights, Pierce said. construction was postponed last year due to complexities with the road’s

“We are very selective in our process,” LaRose said. “We want to be absolutely certain that we have the right fit.” “We’re just going to stand on our own. We’re not going to put a dollar figure out there to attract folks,” LaRose continued, adding any hire is a “mutual agreement” based on pay and benefits. Tied to recruitment is retention, or the ability to keep officers in Essex once they arrive, since turnover only adds to the problem. EPD excels in this, Murtie said, noting most stay for their entire law enforcement career. For example, Essex’s highestranking officers — LaRose, Murtie and cpt. Rick Garey — boast over 95 years of service between them. And former Lt. Robin Hollwedel, who retired earlier this year, served for 36 years. “We have a pretty happy police department, for the most part. our officers work well together; they have a good reputation in the law enforcement community,” Murtie said. Essex’s high retention rate is part-

interplay with the New England central Railroad. Genesee and Wyoming Inc. then acquired NEcR during the connector’s design and engineering phase, resetting the railroad’s vetting of the project. Specifically, the rail company needed more time to study how the new lights at the connector’s intersection with Maple and Park streets will affect traffic. That study would inform when warning lights are triggered at railroad crossings when a train approaches the village. Pierce told the trustees because the village hasn’t received this feedback, it’s unlikely the project will get off the ground this year. Village officials have said the connector road will allow cars to bypass Five corners and eventually allow for a reconfiguration of the traffic pattern, setting the scene for potential closure of the first block of Main Street to allow for a pedestrian area. Reached Tuesday morning, village president George Tyler said the project is ready to move forward once the railroad responds, though he fears the delay could continue for some time. “our experience has been that you can’t hurry them,” Tyler said. “They work at their own pace. We’re trying to move as fast as we can, but that’s the major roadblock.”

ly due to its opportunities beyond patrol, Murtie said. The department has an investigator assigned to the chittenden Unit of Special Investigations and the Drug Enforcement Agency, as well as a traffic officer, school resource officer and a tactical unit. “There are a lot of different things that people can do when they come here that doesn’t necessarily involve moving up the rank structure,” Murtie said. Plus, the department has a schedule that allows for time off and general support of the Essex community. Murtie pointed to EPD’s $7 million new facility, which voters approved by a count of 6,834 to 3,409 in 2012, as proof of the latter. LaRose, who’s been with the department since 1980, offers a similar pitch. “We definitely have a professional and courteous atmosphere that we promote here. The town and the village have been outstanding to work for,” he said.

PERSPECTIVE

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Where should we cut taxes? in the April 20 edition, Steven Gold writes a "perspective" column entitled "What Vermont can't Afford" in which he decries the reduction in state funds for the Reach up program and goes to some length to enumerate specific areas where Vermonters will suffer. He advises that more funds would be available by "cutting tax expenditures for upper income people." i admit that i am not one of those upper income persons, but i think it only fair that if mr. Gold is going to go to some lengths to propose where tax money should be spent, then he should at the very least enumerate specifically what tax expenditures should be cut.

The healthcare committee voted 11-0 on S.133, an act relating to examining mental health care and care coordination. our committee worked closely with the Department of mental Health, Agency of Human Services and many other stakeholders to ensure the work we are generating with this bill will provide the data needed to not only strengthen our mental health care and coordination but to further ensure mental health and physical health are one system. We will be presenting our amendments to the full House this week and with passage the bill will return to the Senate for final vote. i look forward to continuing our focus on mental and physical health care in next year’s session. Last week the full House gave pre-

(d)Chittenden 8-2 ho ughto n. l o ri@gmail. co m 373-0599

liminary approval to S.127, a transportation bill related to vehicles and vessels. This bill covers everything from license plates, workforce infractions, temporary registrations to much more. A few notable pieces of the legislation include distracted driving and inspection rules. Distracted driving will have higher point penalties depending on the location of the distraction. For instance, points go from two to four when ticketed for distracted driving in a work or school zone. As many Vermonters know, our vehicle inspection process has been computerized. While the rules haven’t changed, many previously unequally enforced rules, such as the check engine light, are now equally enforced. The check engine light rules states a car cannot receive an inspection sticker if the light is illuminated. The amendment offered on S.127 would extend the time a conditional inspection sticker can be given with the check engine light

infraction. This additional time will allow the legislature to potentially review the rules. The full bill will have been voted on again by the time you read this article. The House gave preliminary approval to H.333 on a vote of 123-19 requiring that all single-user bathrooms in public buildings be labeled as gender-free. The strong support that this bill received exemplifies the House’s commitment to supporting Vermonters of all gender identities and ensuring that fundamental equalities are preserved. Rep. Giambatista and i are holding monthly community conversations the third monday of each month. our next is may 15 from 6:30-8 p.m. with the location announced soon. come ask questions about a specific topic, or listen to your neighbor’s concerns. i am honored to serve our community and look forward to hearing from you.

NOTES FROM ESSEx AREA SENIOR CENTER

older Americans month celebrates our seniors By Lou Ann pioLi, EASC coordinator

ay is fast approaching, and for our seniors that means celebrating older Americans month. Begun in 1963 following a meeting between president John F. Kennedy and members of the national council of Senior citizens, may was designated as “Senior citizens month,” the predecessor of “older Americans month.” Every u.S. president since then has issued a formal proclamation during or before the month of may asking that the entire nation, in some way, pay tribute to older people to celebrate the contributions they have made, and continue to make, to the nation and their communities. To this end, older Americans month is celebrated across the country through ceremonies, events, fairs and other like activities. This year’s older Americans month theme is “Age out Loud” – so empowering! Seniors are challenged to strive for wellness, know their rights, stay engaged

Vt. Press Association praises legislature for passing shield law for journalists

he Vermont press Association praises and thanks the Vermont Legislature for approving a shield law designed to protect journalists from unwarranted subpoenas concerning their sources. The House of Representatives gave final approval to the legislation, 140-2, on Thursday afternoon and is sending the measure to Gov. phil Scott for his signature. “This is an important piece of legislation that is designed to prohibit any governmental body from trying to compel the news media to divulge a confidential source or being forced to testify about information that is readily available from other sources,” VpA president Adam Silverman said. He added the bill also protects the media under some circumstances from disclosing information obtained in the normal course of newsgathering. “We are in a time now where it’s important that whistleblowers and other sources of information who wish to speak with journalists know that the threat of jail or fines to reporters cannot be made,” said Silverman, an editor and reporter at the Burlington Free press. “Shield laws, as they exist in many other jurisdictions, work only to enhance the First Amendment by preventing government overreach. All Vermonters ultimately are beneficiaries of this legislation.” The Vermont Senate unanimously passed the bill march 23, and the House Judiciary committee approved it with no opposition on April 13 before sending it to the full House. The Vermont legislation is designed to provide further protection to journalists in cases where courts have not recognized a First Amendment privilege. The law also provides protections to sources, including the accused, crime vicVPA president tims and whistleblowers, who can expose waste and wrongdoing. Some have said they have been reluctant to speak with reporters knowing there was little or no protection for journalists from a court order compelling disclosure of a source. A broad coalition of radio, television, online and freelance journalists joined the VpA in advocating for the legislation. The bill, known as S.96, was the top legislative priority this year for the VpA, which represents the interests of the 11 daily and four-dozen non-daily printed newspapers circulating in Vermont. The VpA thanks several legislators who either up front or behind the scenes championed the need to protect journalists from becoming investigative arms of the state, defense lawyers or other entities. Special praise goes to Sens. Dick Sears, D-Bennington, and Jeanette White, D-Windham, for introducing the bill and seeking testimony from all interested parties to make the measure stronger. The VpA also thanks Reps. maxine Grad, D-moretown, and martin LaLonde, D-South Burlington, for shepherding the bill through the House. The VpA also appreciates the tri-partisan support S.96 received from Democrats, Republicans and progressives. it took eight weeks from introduction to passage in both chambers. The bill had widespread support outside the Statehouse, including endorsements from Vermont Secretary of State Jim condos, Vermont Attorney General T.J. Donovan, the American civil Liberties union of Vermont, the Vermont network Against Domestic & Sexual Violence and the Society for professional Journalists. With Gov. Scott’s expected signature on the bill, Vermont would join about 40 states that previously have enacted some kind of media shield law.

All Vermonters ultimately are beneficiaries of this legislation. Adam Silverman

What's it like to be a camp counselor?

hat is it like to be a camp counselor? The words rollercoaster, exhausting, exhilarating, fulfilling and Laura Sullivan crazy don’t even begin to Assistant director of describe the Essex Jct. Recreation job. and Parks Camp REACH I have been a counselor for Essex Jct. Recreation and Parks since the fall 2013. I started out as a counselor for the Village Kids Afterschool Program. One school year of the program was enough to have me hooked.

I then joined the summer camp staff at Camp REACH as a counselor, and I’ve never looked back. I am now a classroom teacher, but I still return for camp with EJRP every summer. I am excited to return to Camp REACH this summer for my third season as the assistant director. Being a counselor has given me a unique experience of interacting with kids. In afterschool and summer camp, kids are able to just be kids. For the majority of the day, we expect kids to listen and learn, but once school lets out, these kids can release their energy through sports, art, engineering – how they want to have fun! One of my favorite things about being a counselor is seeing the strengths, personalities

and creativity of each child. As a staff, we aim to plan engaging and enriching activities that are accessible for all different types of children – the artist, the athlete, the builder. One of the most important things about being a counselor is making sure the activities are engaging for all children. Easy, right? Maybe not. It isn’t all fun and games and sunshine and rainbows. The job of a camp counselor and director is to plan all of those wonderful days, field trips, shows, games, experiences and memories for our campers. And then supervise and participate in those days, field trips, shows, games, experiences and memories. Yes, participate. Like you’re a school-aged child. Yes, it’s awesome. Is the planning glo-

rious? No. Does it always work out just the way you hoped? No. But there’s always at least one child that loves the activity. So yeah, that makes it worth it. Spending your days being active with kids tends to bring out the child in you. The kids become your friends and you may even find yourself learning things from them. Don’t worry; there are adults around, too. One question I’m asked all the time is: “How do you keep track of all of these kids?” These people are right to ask – here I am, corralling a group of 50-plus kids, making sure they are all having a good time and behaving. My answer to this question is always, “With a lot of counselors, a lot of communication and a lot of focus.” Your co-workers are

the eyes in the back of your head. They’re your ears when you’re out of earshot. Staff at a summer camp or an afterschool program works as a team – at EJRP, this holds true. I can honestly say when I joined the EJRP staff, I joined a family. I was welcomed into the crew from my first day as a Village Kids counselor, but my first summer camp training was when I felt the true connection amongst the staff. Some of the returning staff have been working there for 10-plus years which is a true testament to the community that EJRP has created. Once you start being a camp counselor, there’s no turning back.

Get ready for summer camp! Color this picture to create your own masterpiece.

Hornets off to fast start The defending champion Essex softball team is off to a quick 3-1 start after downing Rutland 10-1 last Saturday. The win came two days after the Hornets' 20-game winning streak was snapped at the hands of Missisquoi, who held on for a 10-8 result. Sophomore Caitlin Toth allowed five hits and no walks in the win Saturday, while Makenna Thorne drilled two hits. The Hornets then hosted BFASt. Albans on Tuesday in a game that concluded after The Reporter went to print. They will next embark on a three-game road trip, starting with Mt. Abraham on Thursday before a Saturday showdown with South Burlington. PHOTOS BY TERI FERREIRA

Walsh goes undefeated in first UVM season Jordan Walsh, a 2016 Essex High School grad, went undefeated on her first season at the University of Vermont's club women's tennis team while also securing the No. 1 seed in her freshman season. Walsh also emerged as one-half of the team's first double's squad and picked up notable singles wins against the University of Connecticut, the University of New Hampshire and Wellesley College.

Vacation week is exciting and relaxing. Free time mixed in with practices and games is one of the best setups a student athlete or coach could have. Of course, makBy JOE GONILLO ing sure any schoolwork is completed helps the cause. About seven weeks left of school, but who's counting? The schedule this week looks a bit light, but just enough to keep everyone busy. Glad the foolishness is over in South Burlington. The crime should be punished to the extent of the law. The baseball team is 2-1. After a season-opening 12-1 win over Middlebury, a piece of Hornet history was made. Junior Anthony Hope pitched a no-hitter with eight strikeouts in a 3-0 win over MVU. The offense was led by Abe Koval’s two RBIs and Nick McGovern’s RBI. Rutland then defeated Essex 8-6 last Saturday. The JVs picked up where they left off last spring starting 3-0 with wins over the Tigers, T-birds and Raiders. This week it’s BFA, Mt.Abe and SB. The softball team (2-1) edged Middlebury 1-0 in its first game. MVU then defeated Essex 10-8 breaking the Hornets’ 20-game winning streak. Jamie Morin hit a triple and homerun and had four RBIs. Kylie Svarczkopf, Molly Bruyns and Kait Farrar banged out two hits apiece. Sarah Knickerbocker also had a triple. Caitlin Toth pitched a complete game with six strikeouts. They bounced right back to defeat the Raiders 10-1. The JVs, coached by Peter Monty and veteran assistants Jim Svarczkopf and Karen Harvey, are 2-1, sandwiching wins over Middlebuy and Rutland with a loss to MVU. This week they play the Comets, the Eagles and the Rebels. Boys lacrosse (1-4) was 1-2 last week dropping their first Vt. game of the season to CVU 10-7 then suffering an upset loss to Rice 11-10. They chalked win No. 1 over MMU 8-7. Grady Corkum scored twice with three assists. Andrew Cooledge had 2 goals, 1 assist; Connor Leblanc 2 goals — including the gamewinner; AJ Whitney 1 goal, 1 assist; and Jordan Hines 1 goal. Connor Schultz made 13 saves. Essex plays South Burlington on Friday at 7 p.m. The JVs fell to CVU. The girls lacrosse team is 1-2 after splitting games last week. South Burlington got past the Hornets 14-8 before Essex doubled up BHS 10-5 behind hat tricks from Hannah Danis and Jenna Puleo. Abby Malle and Justine Martin scored twice each while Madi Larson made six saves. The JVs tied South Burlington and beat BHS 13-7 to improve to 2-0-1. No games this week, three next week. The frosh begin play next week. The track team hosted it first meet last week with pretty good results despite the wet weather. Both teams won their respective meets over four other teams. A few events were either suspended or not completed because of the weather. Winners include Sade Hankey, Guilia Eddy, Lizzie Martell, AnneMarie Martell, Nejla Hadzic, 4x100 relay (Green, Moffatt, Whitney, Hadzic), 4x800 relay (Brisson, A. Martell, L. Martell, Farrington), Chike Asanya, Henry Farrington, Jamaal Hankey, 4x100 relay (Asanya, Baker, Guerino, Hankey), 4x800 relay (Poulin, Alden, Martell, Moran), Jackson Baker, Anel Peco, Jacob Rigoli and Breyer Sinor. This week the Hornets host their annual Vacational on Wednesday. Always looking for help to run events. Let me know if you are interested. We pay our officials! After losing their opening match, the boys tennis team has won three in a row. They beat CHS 4-3 and St. J 5-2. The girls play to the same 3-1 record after splitting two matches last week. The Lakers got the 4-3 win. Then the Hornets shutout St. J 7-0. Nothing on the schedule this week. NY Rangers move on. Habs and Bruins out in NHL playoffs. Great NBA games last week. Just love watching post-season sports. Former Essex Hornet and present Notre Dame Fighting Irish lax star Brendan Gleason played North Carolina last weekend in South Bend. ND beat the Tar Heels as Gleason scored twice and added two assists. Former EHS coach Dean Corkum was there to watch. Happy birthday to Westford’s Hudson Stark, his cousins Sydney and Madison Peet, Jay Vallieres, Steve Line, Elaina Coutrayer, Adam Lacross, Tammy Gilbert, Leo Reynolds, Westford "mayor" Mike Olsen, Erika Senn, Cindy Godin, Gale DiMambro, Big John Borch, Sydney Duncan, Judy Brady, Tracie Cole and Ramunto’s Jeff Paul.

Overcome gym intimidation Regular exercise and a nutritious diet are two of the best things seniors can do to maintain their health. Exercise can delay or prevent many of the health problems associated with aging, including weak bones and feelings of fatigue. The Centers for Disease Control and Preven-

tion says a person age 65 or older who is generally fit with no limiting health conditions should try to get two hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week, while also including weight training and muscle-strengthening activities in their routines on two or more days a week.

SINCE 1996

Individuals often find that gyms have the array of fitness equipment they need to stay healthy. But many, including older people who have not exercised in some time, may be hesitant to join a gym for fear of intimidation. Some seniors may avoid machines and classes believing they will not use the apparatus properly, or that they will be judged by other gym members. Some seniors may feel like gyms do not cater to their older clientele, creating an atmosphere dominated by younger members and loud music. Such misconceptions are often unfounded, as many gyms welcome older members with open arms. But even if seniors find gyms intimidating, they should still sign up for memberships. In such situations, the following tips can help older gym-goers shed their fears and adapt to their new environment. Start the process slowly. Shop around for a gym that makes you feel comfortable. Get fully informed about which classes are offered and the benefits, if any, afforded to older members. Get a doctor's goahead. Make sure to clear exercise and gym membership with your doctor prior to purchasing a membership. Your doctor may also

have a list of gyms where fellow senior patients have memberships. Build up gradually. Begin with exercises you feel comfortable performing. Spend time walking on the treadmill while observing other gym members. Tour the circuit of machines and other equipment. Find out if you can sample a class to see if it might be a good fit. Find a gym buddy. Working out with a partner in your age group may

encourage you to keep going to the gym and increase your comfort level. You each can offer support and enjoy a good laugh through the learning process. Don't get discouraged. Anyone working out for the first time, regardless of age, will feel somewhat out of place until exercise becomes part of a routine. Give it some time before throwing in the towel. Once you catch on, you may discover you enjoy working out.

Choose a seniorfriendly gym. Some gyms cater to senior members. They may offer "SilverSneakers" classes at their facility. Other niche gyms may only accept members of a certain age group. Investigate these gyms if working out with a younger crowd is proving too great a deterrent. Fitness is important for healthy seniors. It can prolong life, help you maintain a healthy weight and reduce the risk of injury.

American Institute for Cancer Research Healthy Recipe

Foods for the over 50 crowd

People must alter their diets as they age. Portion sizes that young adults might have been able to get away with must shrink when those same people enter their 30s. And as thirty-somethings head into their 40s, what’s on the plate requires more careful consideration than it might have a decade ago. The same goes for people over 50, who must take steps to reduce their risk for heart disease, stroke and diabetes. One of the easiest ways to do just that is to eat healthy foods. The following are five flavorful and healthy foods tailor-made for the over 50 crowd. Apples: Apples definitely qualify as a superfood, helping reduce cholesterol by preventing plaque buildup in the blood vessels and, as a result, cutting an individual’s risk of diabetes considerably. In fact, a recent study published in the British Medical Journal found that eating at least two servings of apples per week can reduce a person’s risk of type 2 diabetes by as much as 23 percent. Apples also make for a great source of fiber, potassium and vitamin C.

Blueberries: Blueberries help people maintain healthy blood sugar levels because they are high in soluble fiber, which lowers cholesterol while slowing the body’s uptake of glucose. And despite their relatively small size, blueberries contain more fiber, vitamins and minerals per ounce than any other fruit. Broccoli: Though broccoli might not have been your best friend during childhood, you may want to cozy up to this powerful green vegetable now that you have cracked the half-century mark. Broccoli is loaded with vitamin C. A single 3.5 ounce serving of broccoli contains more than 150 percent of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C, which can shorten the duration of the common cold. In addition, a 2013 British study published in Medical News Today found that broccoli may help prevent osteoarthritis, a degeneration of joint cartilage and the underlying bone that is most common from middle age onward. A similar study from researchers at New York’s Roswell Park Cancer Institute published in the same publication six years earlier found that just

three servings of broccoli per month can decrease bladder cancer risk by as much as 40 percent. Fava beans: Fava beans are cholesterol-free and low in fat. Fava beans may provide cardiovascular benefits and help people maintain healthy weights. Fava beans are considered “nutrient-dense,” a term used to describe low-calorie foods that boast lots of nutrients, and are an excellent source of vitamin B1, which is important for nervous system function and energy metabolism. Oatmeal: Another food that might never make youngsters’ lists of their favorite foods, oatmeal is nonetheless a healthy option at the breakfast table. Oatmeal is loaded with soluble fiber, which can reduce cholesterol levels and subsequently reduce a person’s risk of heart disease. Also low in calories, oatmeal can help people maintain a healthy weight. Those who find oatmeal a tad too bland for their tastes can double on their superfoods by adding some blueberries into the mix, making their breakfast more fla-

ESSEX ELEMENTARY The cycle of T-shirts: Spring never begins on March 20. Not in Vermont, and especially not at Essex Elementary. Around here, we declare spring on the first day we see the kids’ race outside for recess without coats and mittens — their faces fresh with excitement and relief after a long winter indoors. Usually, I seize these moments to get things done in the classroom, but not today. Instead, I watch them through the window, remembering the last time they enjoyed recess in warm weather. That would have been October sometime. Now the snow has finally receded, and the air is filled with laughter, shouting and the slap of boots on mud.

Essex Elementary students enjoying warm weather on the playground. Pictured above are Ella DeCausemaker, Adeline Butterly and Jaxson Bougor. The whistle blows, and they run to line up – gone are the confused looks and rapid-fire questions I get in the fall. The last time I saw them come in from recess

with T-shirts on, their faces were a mix of confusion and apprehension. They didn’t understand why they were here; what school was all about. Now, looking around

the room, I see anticipation and excitement. I see a community of special little people that care about learning and each other. After a few minutes, everyone settles in and I join them in our circle to start a lesson on measuring. A twang of nostalgia pulls at my heart as we look at their wide, expecting faces, recognizing how much they have changed in such a short time. Each of them takes ownership of learning and shows off their work with pride while parading their families around the room at conferences. This is an incredible thing to witness. In two months I will see greater changes still, and it will be time to watch them move on. With this time of year

comes, some sadness; however, kindergarten registration has already begun for the next school year. Soon, a new bunch of T-shirts and summer dresses will come through the door, clinging

to the legs of parents. When those clothes see 60 degrees again in the spring, the kids will barely remember the last warm days of fall. But I will.

Put on your dancing shoes and consider bringing a non-perishable food item to donate to a local food shelf. We hope to see you there. Royal celebration: For the past few weeks our students have worked so hard on remembering our school rules and practicing being safe, kind and always doing their best. To celebrate this achievement, we borrowed an idea from several students and had a Royal Bee celebration and assembly. Students and staff put on their best outfits, donned crowns and capes and gathered in the gym for a short program of recognition, song, dance and writing. Third-grade talent show: Third-graders were

in the spotlight on April 21 showcasing their talents in our 18th annual talent show. As always, it took many hands to run the show smoothly, and the acts were amazing. Kudos to all who took a risk and performed. National School Library Month: The Learning Center had some special guests for National School Library Month. Families were invited to sit-in on library classes to see the kinds of things that happen weekly. They were able to see our STEM focus come to an end with a foil boat challenge in first grade and a paper airplane challenge in third grade. Kindergarten families learned about the science standard we’ve been working on, and secondgrade families took to the seven seas and enjoyed our pirate theme. Many thanks to all who came to visit.

Sugars are identified on the ingredient list by different names such as fructose, corn syrup and sucrose, to name a few. Nutrition labels state the nutritional values of the food you're eating in grams. In a Nutrigrain Bar, there are 14 grams of sugar, which is equivalent to 3.5 tea-

Home Garden PracTice green lawn care What we can do to maintain our lawns and protect our natural resources

here's nothing like a barefoot walk through a soft lawn. The mixture of clover, grasses and low growing beneficial plants are not only pleasing to the eye, but lend to conservation practices that improve water quality protection. In the Lake Champlain watershed there is an increasing concern from excessive nutrients flowing off of lawns, impervious surfaces and farmland, thus impacting our aquatic ecosystems. Since 2012 in Vermont, homeowners should be following the no phosphorus rule when fertilizing lawns unless a professional soil test has been conducted on the soil to determine it is needed and/or the lawn is just being established. Like other plants, grasses need nutrients within the soil to grow. These nutrients can be provided by implementing lawn care best management practices. Recent surveys of soils in Vermont lawns indicate that most don't need any additional fertilizers. When applying fertiziler, there is a tendency to think more is better; this results in excessive nutrients flowing off the land and into local bodies of water. Since phosphorous should not be included in these fertilizers, this article will focus on the impacts of nitrogen. Excessive nutrients that enter our waterways feed algae. When the algae then "blooms," it can shift the pH of the water, decrease oxygen levels, cover fish breeding habitat, clog intake pipes, cause taste and odor issues, discourage recreation and lower property values, and, when bacteria feed on dead algae, cause fish kills from decreased oxygen levels. The nitrogen in fertilizers can actually trigger a toxic, harmful

algal bloom in certain species of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae). When excessive nitrogen enters groundwater, it can cause methemoglobinemia (aka "Blue Baby Syndrome") in the elderly and the young. Symptoms include gastrointestinal swelling, diarrhea and protein digestion problems. Excessive nitrogen can actually damage sensitive native plant species and alter the soil's chemical composition, allowing for invasive species to take hold. Excessive nitrogen can lead to the depletion of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium in the soil.

So, with these issues in mind, what can we do to maintain our lawns and still protect our natural resources? As mentioned above, implementing lawn care best management practices can help sustain a healthy lawn. These can include: Water your lawn in the morning, and water deeply and infrequently. Grasses will go dormant and survive times of drought, and there are species of grasses that don't need frequent watering. Reduce the size of your lawn. Add a beautiful native or naturalized garden that will attract butterflies, birds and pollinators.

Leave clover in the lawn. Clover adds nitrogen to the soil naturally. Mow only when there is rain in the short-term forecast. Maintain grass height between 3-4 inches. Never cut off more than a third of the blade, and keep your mower blade sharp. Leave grass clippings on the lawn, as they add back nutrients naturally. Never pile clippings near a body of water or push them into a storm drain. Maintain a buffer of native species along waterways. It is recommended to have a 50-foot buffer along streams and a 100-foot buffer along lakes. If fertilization is needed, only use it in the fall. Spring rains will wash the nutrients into our waterways. Use species of grass that are acclimated to our climate zone. Many mixes sold require regular watering, mowing and fertilizers, but there are other mixes of species that surprisingly cost less and require limited maintenance. There are many practices and projects you can implement on your own property to bring enjoyment and protect of our natural resources. To learn more about these initiatives, visit the WNRCD website at www.winooskinrcd.org. The Winooski Natural Resources Conservation District is one of 14 conservation districts in Vermont. It encompasses all of Chittenden and Washington County as well as parts of Orange County. The district relies on grants and individual donations to complete its conservation work. WNRCD focuses its resources on completing conservation projects within the areas of agricultural assistance, forestland enhancement, urban conservation and watershed stewardship.

Is it time to update your home’s electrical system?

he invisible systems in a home often are taken for granted. When such systems are working as expected, daily life moves along smoothly. However, when a system goes awry, it can negatively impact routines and may create a dangerous home environment. This is especially true when something goes wrong with a home's electrical system. Faulty wiring is a leading cause of residential fires. Many homeowners, particularly those who live in older homes, might be living in properties that have outdated electrical systems. The experts at Lowes ProServices state that having old wiring and/or insufficient amperage in a house can endanger residents. It also may damage appliances and make it difficult to sell a property in the future. It can be difficult to gauge exactly when to overhaul an electrical system. Unless circuits routinely trip or lights often dim,

homeowners may put off the work. But degrading wires or overextended circuitry can pose a fire risk, so it is best to address electrical systems promptly. Home inspections may uncover electrical problems. Some homeowners may discover potential trouble while making renovations that require opening up walls or tearing them down, exposing the wires. Still other homeowners learn about electrical systems when they're adding new, large appliances or other gadgets that consume more power than existing items. These devices may continually cause power outages in the house, such as tripping the circuit breaker or popping a fuse. When it comes time to update the electrical system, it is always best to work with licensed and bonded electricians who have the expertise to work with electrical wiring without getting injured. This is not a do-it-yourself type of job since it requires specialized training.

Electricians will likely recommend upgrading the electrical panel to bring more power from the utility poles into the home. This can include replacing the existing meter and circuit breaker box to allow it to handle more power or replacing items that are obsolete or dangerous. Many older homes are only capable of handling a minimum number of amps, utilizing just a few circuits. But homeowners today have far more electronics in their homes than they once did, and increased demand on electricity can overload a circuit (all of the outlets linked on one wire). Tripping a circuit breaker is a safety measure to prevent the wire from becoming overheated and causing a fire. However, in some old systems, the circuit breaker will not trip, and this can be problematic. Rewiring a home is another step. Wire insulation can deteriorate over time, and new wires may be needed. This can be messy and time-consuming, but it's a small

price to pay for safety. When rewiring, an electrician may also suggest new outlets. Many home building codes now require outlets with ground fault interruptors, or GFIs, in kitchens, bathrooms and other rooms exposed to moisture. Some older homes may not even

Fix that sticking door Nearly everyone has experienced a sticking door that just will not close properly. This problem may become more noticeable when temperatures rise and humidity contributes to the swelling of wood doors and frames. According to home

improvement resource The Family Handyman, the standard remedy for alleviating a sticking door is to remove the door and pare down the edges that are rubbing so the door will once again swing freely. While this can solve the problem, it can be a has-

sle, as it requires refinishing the pared-down edge and rehanging the door. Try these shortcuts first before creating more work than might be necessary.

Identify the problem area and rub it with a dry bar of soap. This should reduce friction and allow the door to close more easily. Remove humidity with a dehumidifier or by running an air conditioning unit.

Check for loose hinges or sagging around the hinge. Tighten the fasteners to sure up the door and create better alignment.

Spray the hinges with lubricant if you suspect sticking is originating because of squeaky hinges.

Look for obstructions at the bottom of the door. Is the door dragging on carpeting or being caught on something on the floor? It may be a matter of simply clearing away the obstruction.

Make older homes more energy efficient While homes are being built to be more energy efficient than ever before, thanks to a growing green building movement and increasingly strict building codes, the age of existing dwellings continues to present challenges. More than 40 percent of the housing stock in the United States was built before 1969 and simply wouldn’t stand up to today’s standards. Yet, much can be done to help homeowners improve their building envelope to reduce energy use and increase efficiency. Improving your home’s energy efficiency can help save money, keep you more comfortable, reduce pollution and prevent global warming. 1. Seal cracks and gaps around your home’s windows, doors, and vents. These can be a considerable source of energy loss, allowing conditioned air to escape and unconditioned air to infiltrate your home, placing stress on your furnace and air conditioner in the process. An easy DIY solution is to caulk around windows, doors, and vents, and install or replace worn weatherstripping. An average home loses up to 30 percent of its energy through air leaks, so sealing your home is a worthwhile exercise. 2. Top up or replace old insulation in your attic. A poorly insulated attic

is a primary source of energy loss. Also, over time, some types of insulation can settle and compact, allowing heat to escape through gaps. Experts recommend installing a dimensionally stable batt insulation like a Roxul product called Comfortbatt. Aim for an r-value of at least R-50, or a depth of roughly 16 inches. 3. Insulate basement headers. Uninsulated basement headers are common, especially in older homes. They can act as a gateway for heated air to escape. Fixing the problem is fast and easy. Simply cut Comfortbatt stone wool insulation to fit the cavity and compress into place. Doing this throughout your basement will prevent heat loss and can potentially save hundreds of dollars each year. 4. Switch to LED light bulbs. Some LED light bulbs have a lifespan of up to 10 years, and are 80 to 90 percent more efficient than incandescent bulbs. They are generally more environmentally friendly than CFLs and safer, too, since they produce less heat. The return on investment is excellent, as LED bulbs often pay for themselves through energy savings within the first year. 5. Consider a home energy audit. This will help you identify and target specific problematic areas of energy loss. A professional home energy audit will also provide a list of recommended solutions to help you maximize your energyefficiency strategy.

Remedy landscape Easy spring cleaning projects drainage problems Homeowners understand that reaping the rewards of beautiful lawns and gardens requires hard work. But sometimes even hard work won't be enough. Drought can be very harmful to lawns and gardens, but so too can excessive amounts of water and precipitation. Soggy properties can make it difficult for lawns and gardens to thrive. According to Lowes, in addition to killing lawn and other plants, standing water on a property can be a health hazard. That's because standing water makes a prime breeding ground for mosquito larvae and other pests. While homeowners cannot control precipitation, they can affect the impact that rainwater has on their properties.

Replace/repair downspouts

Gutters and downspouts are designed to move rainwater away from the home. Too often, however, they become clogged or do not work effectively. Overflowing gutters will transfer rainwater down the side of a home, where it can puddle at the foundation. This water can ultimately suffocate a lawn, and it may cause interior damage to the home as well. First, inspect and clean all gutters. Leaves, nests, sticks and even dead animals can block the flow of water in a gutter. Test downspouts by running hose water from the top of the gutter. Downspouts should be pointed away from the home and may need to be extended so they direct water away from the dwelling.

Plant water-loving trees or shrubs

Water can pool in some instances regardless of how well the gutter system is working. Whether it's a byproduct of poor property grade or sloping land, determine where the problem is and speak with a landscaper to see if there are any plants that thrive in moist conditions. The roots of these plants can protect against soil erosion and may absorb enough water to guard against puddling. In addition, amending the soil with organic matter, pea gravel or another coarse aggregate can prevent water pooling.

Consider a drainage system

When confronted with drainage issues that can't be remedied by other methods, homeowners may need to install drainage systems. Such systems often employ French drains that are built through or around the perimeter of a property. French drains are typically a trench that contains perforated plastic pipe and is backfilled with gravel. Water runs into these channels and gets swept away by the piping. Do-it-yourselfers may want to try installing drainage systems themselves. However, because excavation is necessary, it's often best to have the property inspected and marked for utilities, then have the drainage system installed by professionals. Landscaping does not need to be derailed by drainage issues. Explore the remedies that can easily fix the problems.

Warmer days are here and what better way to spend them than cleaning? Although enjoying the great outdoors is probably high on many a to-do list come spring, by the end of winter, homes can likely do with a much-needed overhaul. Spring cleaning is a necessary task, but it doesn't have to be a headache. Break up the work into manageable chunks of time, and projects won't feel like such a hassle.

Look up

Start by looking up at ceilings, molding and ceiling fans. Chances are some cobwebs and dust have formed in these areas. Always begin cleaning by working from the top downward so you don't have to clean any tables countertops or floors twice. Static-charged dusting cloths work well to catch and contain dust. Use a pillowcase on ceiling fan blades to clear the dust and keep it from cascading to the floor.

Blinds and curtains

Heavy window treatments can be

removed and replaced with more gauzy fabrics to let in more light and warmth from the sun. Many curtains can be freshened up right in the laundry, but blinds may require a bit more effort. If the blinds can be snapped out of the brackets, place them in a tub full of vinegar, dish soap and water. Allow them to soak and then rinse with the shower nozzle. Stationary blinds can be cleaned using an old sock over your hand dipped in a vinegar-and-water solution.

Change linens

Remove and launder bed linens. While the linens are in the wash, thoroughly dust all furniture and vacuum the carpets. Move furniture so you can reach areas where dust gathers, such as under the bed or dresser.

Grout cleaner

Grade school science lessons can be put to use as you look to remove stubborn dirt. Combining baking soda and vinegar produces a reaction

that causes the formation of gassy bubbles. These bubbles can help to break up dirt that clings to crevices, such as grout between tiles. Some light scrubbing and then subsequent rinsing can rid surfaces of hard-toremove dirt.

Vacuum vent intakes

Many houses are heated by forcedair systems. The air intake vents can become clogged with dust and other debris. Vacuum these vents so air flow is not impeded. Let the heat run for a few minutes to catch any small particles that become dislodged, and then change the furnace filter.

Clean out the refrigerator

Now is a great time to remove any of those mystery containers growing fuzzy experiments in the back of the refrigerator. Take the food out of the refrigerator and use a foodsafe cleaner to scour the shelves and inside of crisper drawers.

Grow an abundant tomato harvest in a pot By MElindA MyERs

arvest and enjoy the garden-fresh flavor of tomatoes right outside your kitchen. Grow them in containers set on your patio, balcony, deck or stairs. you’ll enjoy the convenience of harvesting fresh tomatoes just a few feet away from where you prepare your meals, and your guests will enjoy harvesting fresh tomatoes to add to their salad or sandwich. Tomatoes need warm air and soil to thrive. Containers give you the ability to jumpstart the season. Plant tomatoes in containers earlier than in the garden and leave them outdoors when it’s warm (but bring them inside whenever there’s a danger of frost). Protect your plants with the help of season-extending products like cloches, red tomato teepees or garden fabrics. These will help warm the soil and air around the plants, reducing the number of days to your first harvest. select flavorful and disease-resistant varieties for your container gardens. Consider ‘determinate’ tomatoes that are more compact and generally less than four feet tall. But don’t eliminate your favorite indeterminate tomato. Just provide a strong, tall support for these plants that continue to grow six feet and taller throughout the season. Grow your tomatoes in a sunny spot that receives at least eight hours of direct sunlight. you’ll grow the biggest harvest and reduce the risk of disease.

Fill your container with a quality welldrained potting mix. Add a slow release organic fertilizer to your potting mix if needed. This type of fertilizer feeds the plants for several months. Give the plants an additional feeding midseason or as directed on the fertilizer package. Check soil moisture daily, and water thoroughly and often enough to keep the soil slightly moist. Maintaining consistent soil moisture means healthier plants and fewer problems with blossom end rot. This disorder is not a deadly disease, but it causes the bottom of the first set of fruit to turn black. stake or tower your plants to save space, increase air circulation around and light penetration into the plant. you’ll further reduce the risk of disease and increase productivity by growing vertically. so start gathering your favorite tomato recipes now – soon you’ll be harvesting armloads of tomatoes to use in salsas, salads, sauces and, of course, BlTs. Melinda Myers has written more than 20 gardening books, including "Small Space Gardening." She hosts The Great Courses “How to Grow Anything: Food Gardening For Everyone” DVD set and the nationally syndicated Melinda’s Garden Moment TV & radio segments.
