It's good to know what we mean when we talk about "sustainability" when it comes to gardening.
By definition, sustainability means something that can be kept going, maintained for a long time, something that endures.
But in terms of gardening, the idea of sustainability goes hand in hand with the concept of environmental responsibility - doing things that heal rather than injure, help rather than destroy, and at the heart of this whole idea is the notion of doing no harm, but rather doing something positive and helpful. This approach also includes choosing materials that do not pollute or weaken nature's systems, but complement and enhance our environment.
For me, the word "sustainability" is also intrinsically connected to beauty. After all, isn't that what we all want to sustain - beauty? And, of course, beauty is not possible without health and vitality and, well, you might as well add enthusiasm and joy.
Yes, all this thinking is deeply entrenched in the desire to create beautiful, sustainable, healthy gardens. That is why the theme for this supplement is Lasting Beauty - in other words, beauty that can be sustained.
But it all needs to filter down into practical application. And that involves products and techniques - structures, tools, materials that add lasting value and good gardening practices that produce vigorous growth and regeneration and rewarding yields.
Gardeners have mostly always been ahead of the curve on this. They were the first to stop using harmful chemicals, they are the ones who know the true nature of common pests, such as slugs and aphids, and how to deal with them, and they are well aware of the time and energy it takes to maintain challenging landscape features, such as lawns and hedges and structures that don't stand the test of time.
You will find in this supplement that I have focused on garden ideas and products and techniques that are "sustainable" - producing lasting beauty as well as long-lasting reliability and creative innovation.
I have looked at natural ways to enrich soil and safe ways to enrich plants using organic fertilizers made from natural ingredients found in nature.
You will find quality products featured that will make your life as a gardener easier. These products are also made to last, which means they should save you money in the long run.
But most important are the tips and suggestions that encourage you to garden in a way that produces all the benefits of sustainability, things like choosing top-rated plants, getting them in the right place, attracting birds, bees and butterflies, managing water efficiently, and growing plants in ways to maximize fun and rewards, while minimizing time-consuming effort and eliminating waste.
Hope you enjoy this Lasting Beauty spring gardening feature in the premiere issue of Home and Garden. But most of all, I hope your garden ends up looking even better this summer for all your effort.

The weekends snowstorm that left more than a foot of snow in some places by Sunday morning, caused numerous traffic accidents and a small weather-related power outage.
Another foot of snow could fall by this evening, according to the National Weather Service, which means snowpack levels are getting near normal.
Colorado State Patrol Sgt. Mike Baker said from midnight Friday to midnight Saturday, the State Patrol responded to 32 accidents with property damage from the Utah border near Cortez to Archuleta County, but with most of those in the Durango area. There were two injury accidents and one driving under the influence injury accident after midnight.
A vehicle accident about 12:40 p.m. Saturday in the 8000 block of U.S. Highway 550 south of Durango cut power to about 900 customers of La Plata Electric Association for 2½ hours. The accident knocked down a utility pole which was temporarily re-erected, LPEA said in a news release.
Durango Police Department responded to 14 crashes, some with minor injuries, through about noon Sunday, said Sgt. Rita Wilson of the Durango Police Department.
Wilson reminded drivers that warm temperatures can melt snow on the roads, which later freezes and turns to ice.
Sometimes, the roads can be deceiving, she said. Everybody just needs to slow down.
Weather Service meteorologist Norv Larson said the foothills of the San Juan Mountains could see about a foot of snow by tonight on top of the snow already on the ground. This second storm will be followed an arctic system that will keep temperatures lower at the beginning of the week compared with last weeks temperatures.
Larson said highs today for the Durango area will be in the 20s, rising to about freezing Tuesday and Wednesday, and then rising to the 40s or so by Saturday.
He also said the National Resources Conservation Service is reporting snowpack in the San Miguel, Dolores, Animas and San Juan basins was about 89 percent of normal.
Purgatory at Durango Mountain Resort at 1:45 p.m. Sunday reported it received 15 inches of snow in the last 24 hours. That brought the midway base to 58 inches and season-to-date snowfall total to 141 inches.
Wolf Creek Ski Area at 2 p.m. Sunday reported 20 inches of snow in the previous 24 hours, bringing the summit base to 76 inches and midway to 73 inches. The area has so far recorded season-to-date snowfall at 218 inches.

STOCKTON - Two people were carjacked less than two miles away from each other in a little over 12 hours Monday night and Tuesday morning in Stockton, authorities said.
STOCKTON - Two people were carjacked less than two miles away from each other in a little over 12 hours Monday night and Tuesday morning in Stockton, authorities said.
A woman was getting into her car in the 600 block of East 3rd Street about 9:30 p.m. Monday when she was confronted by a man holding a silver object in his hand, police said. The man stole her 1992 Mercedes-Benz sedan, which is silver with paint damage on the hood, before fleeing south, officers said.
The car thief was described as a black man about 20 years old standing 5 feet 7 inches tall with a thin build, blue jeans and a black hooded sweatshirt, authorities said.
At 10:48 a.m. Tuesday, about 1 1/2 miles away, a 41-year-old man was standing by his vehicle near East Main and South Sutter streets when he was approached by three men brandishing handguns, police said. The men searched the victim's coat and took his phone, wallet, cash and keys before fleeing on Sutter Street in the man's silver 2006 Buick Lucerne, license plate No. 5TAK724, officers said.
The thieves were described as black males wearing hoods. There was no further description, authorities said.
TRACY - A 47-year-old Whittier man was killed Tuesday when a 1,800-pound concrete block fell on him while he was cleaning the drum of a concrete transport truck, officials said.
The victim was working inside the tumbler on a mixer truck in the 10000 block of West Linne Road in Tracy shortly before 3:30 p.m. when he was struck by a large slab of falling concrete, said David Bramell, division chief with the Tracy Fire Department. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene, officials said.
The victim worked for Express Chipping Inc., a concrete chipping management company based in Artesia, Bramell said. The man was contracted to clean the cement mixing truck for A & A Concrete Supply in Tracy, Bramell said.
The victim's name was not released Tuesday night pending notification of family, officials said.
STOCKTON - Police are looking for two armed men who broke into a north Stockton home Monday night and demanded money from a woman and her friends, authorities said.
The robbery occurred about 8:30 p.m. in the 8100 block of Bernay Drive. The victims complied with the robbers' demands, and no one was injured, police said.
Both robbers wore black masks, officers said. One was described as an Asian man standing 5 feet 7 inches tall with a thin build, black clothing and a long gun, authorities said. The other was a black man with black clothing and a handgun, police said.
THORNTON - Workers discovered a human skull Tuesday morning in Thornton, the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office said.
The workers were cleaning out an irrigation ditch with a bulldozer when the skull was found about 10:53 a.m. near North Staten Island and West Walnut Grove roads, authorities said. Deputies responded to the scene and recovered the skull, which is being submitted to the Department of Justice for further testing, officials said.

Greenland's pain remains fresh a year after chief's murderBy JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
April 12. 2013 1:04AM
GREENLAND -- Tammy Hardy still has nightmares.
It's been a year since she watched in horror as police officers were shot in a hail of gunfire across the street from her Post Road home, but the scene is fresh in her mind.
Hardy can't get the images out of her head, and it doesn't help that her place faces the house where Cullen Mutrie shot and killed Greenland Police Chief Michael Maloney and wounded four other officers in a botched drug raid.
"I don't sleep straight through the night anymore. I remember the sound of the gunfire and the cops running around and then all being shot and dropping to the ground," said Hardy, a 40-year-old mother whose two daughters were also home with her when the shots rang out on the night of April 12, 2012.
In the year that has followed the state's worst police shooting in terms of number of officers shot, the town of Greenland, its police department and the law enforcement community on the Seacoast and beyond have come together in ways they haven't before.
Ceremonies and charity events have been held to honor the chief and help the wounded.
Today, thousands will wear black ribbons with a thin blue ribbon in the middle, and this afternoon at 5, a moment of silence will be observed outside the Greenland Police Department to mark the one-year anniversary.
Many agree that Greenland is the essence of small town America, but say the shooting proved that no community is immune to violence on a large scale.
"I think Greenland got a huge wake-up call," said Greenland police Sgt. Dawn Sawyer, who began her career with Maloney in North Hampton in 1993 before being hired in Greenland in 1995.
Maloney, 48, and the four other officers with the Attorney General's Drug Task Force were shot during a drug raid at Mutrie's home at 517 Post Road. Mutrie opened fire on the officers when they showed up and later shot and killed his estranged girlfriend, Brittany Tibbetts, before turning the gun on himself.
The wounded officers were Newmarket Detective Scott Kukesh; Rochester Detective Jeremiah Murphy; Dover Detective Gregory Turner; and University of New Hampshire police Detective Eric Kulberg.
The deadly shooting prompted the Attorney General's Office to form an independent review committee, which praised officers for their heroism that day, but also found deficiencies in the way the raid was carried out.
The office concluded that a series of unfortunate circumstances led to the shoot-out.
Greenland's new chief, Tara Laurent, who took over the job just hours after Maloney died, said the department has moved forward over the past year, but in small steps.
"I think we all feel very close to one another because we supported each other through probably the most difficult time that we'll ever seen job-wise. I think that gives us a special camaraderie that hopefully will see us through any other big things that come our way," she said.
For Laurent, the toughest part over the past year has been evaluating the officers within the department as they work through their emotions.
"Since everyone's on a rollercoaster, some people have great days and then the next minute they'll have a bad day. Knowing how to support them the best way and knowing that they're OK, I struggle with that every day," she said.
- - - - - - - -
Geri Hart has tried to help. She's been cooking lunch for the Greenland officers every other Thursday since the shooting.
Hart lives in North Hampton. Her husband, Robert, owns Hart's Plumbing and Heating in Greenland.
"We felt it was our way of giving back to them for what they give to us," she said Thursday as she cooked lasagna and prepared to deliver it for lunch.
- - - - - - - -
Like others, Sawyer has spent the year attending ceremonies and helping with other events honoring Maloney and the wounded officers. Next month, she'll join other Greenland officers on a trip to Washington, D.C., where Maloney's name will be added to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial.
"It's always at the forefront of my mind," Sawyer said. "It does make it hard because you do relive it all the time."
Sawyer still has the image from Maloney's wake etched in her mind.
"That line that went on forever made you realize how many people he touched. I have people come up to me all the time, maybe they met him once or twice, but in that meeting he made an impression," she said.
Since the tragedy, Sawyer said she's been making more time for herself and her 11-year-old daughter, Isabella.
She's learned that life is too short.
"For me, I've been trying to make sure I'm living my life and not waiting for my career to be over to start," Sawyer said.
- - - - - - - -
Greenland police Officer Tom Simmons worked with Maloney for 28 years - first in North Hampton and then in Greenland.
The two were so close, in fact, that Simmons named his oldest son after Maloney.
"It's been a hard year," said Simmons, now a part-time officer.
Simmons was at home when he got a call from Sawyer telling him that five officers had been shot and that he needed to come to Portsmouth Regional Hospital.
"I didn't know who was down," he said. "When I arrived at the hospital, she told me the chief was hit and in the road. Every time you go by that house, it flashes back. It's hard to believe that a year has gone by so quickly."
The tragedy made the community tighter, he said, and made officers realize their vulnerability more than ever before.
"Anything can happen at any time when you're out there. There's no such thing as an ordinary stop. There's no such thing as an ordinary call," Simmons said.
- - - - - - - -
Jason MacKenzie, whose family owns the Suds 'N Soda convenience store where Maloney grabbed his coffee and chatted every morning, was working on the night of the shooting and remembers seeing one cruiser fly by, followed by another.
"The next thing it seemed like 50 to 60 cars," he recalled.
Then the store's phone began ringing.
"Our phone rang off the hook that night. Everybody was calling to find out what had happened," MacKenzie said. "It was definitely a sad night."
MacKenzie's daughter, Ciretta, who was 7 at the time, thought the world of Maloney. Whenever he showed up at the store while she was waiting for the school bus, Ciretta playfully loaded up her pockets as if she was shoplifting to try to get Maloney's attention.
As soon as he noticed, Maloney would stick his handcuffs just above her elbows because they would slide off her wrists, and then he'd haul her outside and turn her upside down to empty out the "stolen" goods.
"He was definitely a great guy," MacKenzie said.
Like others, Hardy, Mutrie's neighbor, was changed forever on that April night.
"It makes me look at life a lot differently, I'll tell you that," she said. I'm more aware of my surroundings. I'm more aware of everything."

How to prepare a wall for painting
While it can be tempting to get painting as soon as possible when you want to decorate a room, it's worth taking the time to make sure your room and surfaces are best prepared before you begin. Getting the preparation right is crucial to achieving the perfect finish. It'll also help to keep things neater and cleaner, and reduce the need for additional coats of paint. No paint can completely cover dirty or uneven surfaces, so tackling this at the start of the project avoids the need for extra work later on.
In this guide we'll walk you through the most important steps to take, and show you how to;
- Empty your room ready for decorating, and protect fixtures and fittings you aren't painting
- Clean your walls to help paint adhere
- Fill holes and cracks and smooth your walls for the best possible finish
- Prime stained surfaces or those which have not been painted before
Once you've completed these tasks you should have a smooth, even surface ready to be painted.
Buying guides
Primer buying guide
If you're painting on bare wood, plaster or metal surfaces, you'll get a better result if you use a primer first. It provides a surface which the paint can bond to and stops the paint being absorbed. Find out more what you need and for what surface.

Two women arrested recently for running an assisted living facility without a license shouldn't expect to get off as easy as they did in 2009, when they were arrested on a similar charge.
Two women charged recently with running an assisted living facility without a license shouldn't expect to get off as easy as they did in 2009, when they were arrested on a similar charge.
In 2009 as now, Mary Deneen Alexander and her daughter, Tara Collins-Johnson, were accused of running group homes whose clients had serious mental or physical disabilities and were incapable of living independently.
The group homes were ill-equipped and their staffs were not trained to provide such care, authorities say. And yet they did, without licenses from the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, or AHCA.
Alexander and Collins-Johnson, who operate the homes under the names Samaritan Comfort Independent Living or Samaritan Alternative Care Services, don't have an AHCA license but insist they don't need it because they are housing homeless people, not running assisted living facilities.
Assistant State Attorney Philip Hanson, who prosecuted the women in 2009 and will handle the current case as well, said the judge showed them leniency in 2009 because they were first-time offenders. The outcome of their cases may be different this time, he said.
"She can call it the Hilton, she can call it a timeshare, she can call it what she wants to call it. If it functionally fits the definition of an ALF, it's an ALF," Hanson said.
"They can't say they didn't understand the situation this time," he added. "You look at a repeat offender differently than you look at somebody who's been there before."
But if the women were breaking the law, they may have had a lot of help.
For years, Alexander and Collins-Johnson have been operating their group homes in full view of authorities, the regulatory agencies that are now investigating them, mental health centers that referred indigent patients to them and charitable organizations that coordinate services with them.
If any of those agencies referred disabled clients to them knowing that the homes were not licensed as assisted living facilities, they also could be guilty of a third-degree felony.
■ ■ ■
The arrests of Alexander and Collins-Johnson occurred on June 20 following an investigation by a number of state and local agencies, including the Florida attorney general, AHCA, the Florida Department of Children and Families and the Marion County Sheriff's Office.
Authorities say they housed 21 elderly and mentally ill people in four homes around Marion County, three of them in Marion Oaks.
Investigators identified several problems with the homes. They said at least one home was infested with bed bugs and allege that some of the homes were so crowded that some residents slept in the garage.
And although they didn't charge the women with any financial wrongdoing, they raised questions about the way Alexander and Collins-Johnson are charging residents.
According to investigators, the residents typically pay the vast majority of their modest monthly Social Security or disability incomes to the women. Some pay hundreds of dollars a month and others pay more than $1,000, depending on their monthly income.
But the major allegation is that the homes are not licensed as assisted living facilities, or ALFs.
By law, an ALF is a group home that provides "housing, meals, and one or more personal services for a period exceeding 24 hours to one or more adults who are not relatives of the owner or administrator." Personal services can consist of help taking medications, bathing, walking, dressing, grooming and other "daily life tasks."
Investigators claim the women are an ALF because, among other things, they control access to residents' medications and food. They said residents' medications were locked in closets or in boxes that could be accessed only by "house managers."
In a lengthy interview last week, Alexander denied the charge. She said the residents live independently, keep their own medications and have access to their own food. She acknowledged that at least one refrigerator is kept locked in each of the group homes but says that is to protect food donated by patrons.
"I'm not into health care," Alexander said. "Everybody's on medications. I'm on medications. But everybody's responsible for their own medications."
Alexander bluntly claims that AHCA lied about the medications and has been systematically "harassing" her for years.
She invited members of the media to tour the homes and meet residents and "house managers," who also reside there.
The homes, which Alexander rents, are largely indistinguishable from any other homes in Marion Oaks. There are no signs out front to mark them as group homes. Inside, they are tidy and clean, with furnished living areas and kitchens. The residents share bedrooms, and in one four-bedroom dwelling, the dining area has been converted into an extra bedroom, giving the home a total of 10 beds.
The residents are a collection of mental health patients, paroled prison inmates and, in some cases, wanderers with limited incomes whose relationships with their families are fractured or strained. The most stable of them are tabbed as house managers who keep an eye on the homes but are not paid for their services.
One house manager, Graham Knight, came out of Shands Hospital in Gainesville after major heart surgery, destitute and with no place to go. A Shands social worker referred him to Alexander, he said. He has no income and doesn't pay anything to live at Samaritan.
Another house manager, Charlie McClain, had no place to go when he left prison, so his classification officer referred him to Samaritan.
Sitting on the back patio of one of the homes Thursday, both men scoffed at authorities' characterization of the living conditions as "deplorable" and flatly denied that the homes meet the definition of ALFs.
Knight said the residents not only have to take care of themselves but must help out around the house.
"They build their strength and ability to go out on their own by being here and learning to help out," he said.
Both men claim that's what they told investigators, although a probable cause affidavit issued at the time of Alexander's and Collins-Johnson's arrests tells a different story. Knight and McClain reportedly told authorities who raided the homes that they alone had access to the residents' medications and showed investigators the locked boxes.
While Knight and McClain praise Samaritan's owners, other Samaritan residents are critical of the women and their operation.
Don Grimm, who spent four months as a house manager until moving out last week, said some of the residents in his house suffered from serious mental disorders and couldn't care for themselves without his assistance. He said he had to wake them, prepare their meals, administer their medications and even clean up after them when they soiled themselves or their bedding.
Grimm insisted that the residents don't get enough food and that their medications often don't get refilled on time. And he said authorities' claims about bed bug infestations are accurate, revealing dozens of small, red welts and scabs on his arms and legs as evidence.
"My opinion is, (authorities) should shut them down because Mary and Tara do nothing for these people," he said.
One of the people Grimm was responsible for was a 48-year-old man named Tom who came to Samaritan from The Centers mental health treatment facility in Ocala. Tom, who has been diagnosed as bipolar and schizophrenic, had been committed to The Centers after he allegedly attacked his 63-year-old mother in August.
Reached Wednesday, Tom's mother said she was afraid to take him back when he was released from treatment, so a social worker at The Centers put her in touch with Samaritan.
The woman, who did not want to be identified, is unhappy with Samaritan, primarily because Tom's entire $856 Social Security disability check goes to pay for his care.
Alexander notes that Tom's rent payment covers room and board, as well as the $280-a-month cost of his medications. Samaritan also takes Tom and other residents on monthly trips bowling and to the library, she said.
Assisted living facilities and even some independent living homes charge $2,000 or more for such services, she said.
"Some of my families pay what, $600? Some pay nothing. Come on," she said.
■ ■ ■
It is no small irony to Alexander that some of the agencies now accusing her of a crime have known about her for years. She claims that the Department of Children and Families even placed 10 clients with her in recent years, an assertion denied by a DCF spokeswoman.
As proof, she pointed to a 2012 court filing in Dixie County in which DCF asked a judge to allow a mentally incompetent client to continue residing at one of the Samaritan homes and to receive DCF services while the agency tried to place him in an assisted living facility.
"That's what's mind blowing. I was sent to jail. The people who sent me clients arrested me."
What is uncertain is whether authorities involved in the investigation of Samaritan will bring criminal or administrative sanctions against the mental health facilities who also sent clients there. Several of the current residents say they were referred to Samaritan by Shands, The Centers and Lifestream, a mental health center in Leesburg.
The same Florida statute that makes it a third-degree felony to run an unlicensed ALF also makes it a third-degree felony to knowingly refer someone to an unlicensed ALF.
Representatives of The Centers said they were in the middle of an audit and were not available to talk about their relationship with Samaritan. Meanwhile, Shands confirmed in a prepared statement that it has sent patients there.
"UF Health does not have a contract or formal relationship with Samaritan Comfort, nor do we refer patients to Samaritan Comfort for any type of treatment," the statement reads. "In the past, we have called them on a very limited basis when a patient has needed a place to live following discharge and other options were not available. However, we will now refrain from doing so pending the outcome of the current investigation."
AHCA officials declined to discuss the case. And after repeated requests, representatives of the Attorney General's Office also said they could not talk about the case.
Hanson, the prosecutor on the case, said he "couldn't say" if the ongoing investigation into Samaritan will expand to look at agencies that referred clients to the group home.
But he acknowledged it is becoming increasingly difficult for agencies and health care providers to find homes for the poor, elderly and mentally ill.
"With a graying society and a society of people who have emotional or mental problems, housing is a problem," he said. "But we can't let unlicensed facilities try to provide care for compromised individuals who need a higher level of care."
A spokeswoman with the Florida Department of Children and Families said the agency has made other living arrangements for eight of the 21 residents who either wanted to leave Samaritan or weren't mentally competent to make a rational decision for themselves. The rest were evaluated and deemed mentally competent to decide whether they want to stay or leave, and all decided to stay at the Samaritan homes.

UPDATE: After readers asked about changes to Wawa's cold-cuts prep, spokeswoman Lori Bruce says: "We have been phasing out slicers for a few years now; we currently have them in about 100 stores." Most stores now use pre-sliced meats and cheeses "received fresh... on a daily basis" through Wawa's South Jersey-based supplpy chain (there's a different chain for Florida stores) from Berks, Giordano's, and other cold-cut houses; Dietz and Watson has not been a supplier.
EARLIER: Chris Gheysens, who's been Wawa's CEO since New Year's Day, lives in South Jersey and works at company HQ in Delaware County when he's not running around 600 -plus Wawa stores from North Jersey to Orlando.
So he doesn't get downtown much, Gheysens admitted to the Irish American Business Chamber & Network (corrected) at its Pyramid Club luncheon today. "You know how it is. I've got four kids. So not a dollar on me" when he had to feed a meter this morning, he said.
"So I stopped at the ATM. There was a three-dollar surcharge. What's Wawa's surcharge?" Wawa friends in the crowd yelled back, "Zero!" and applauded.
"Right. So I went in Starbucks. They charged me $2.25 for a cup of coffee. What's Wawa's coffee price?" The shout came back: "A dollar." "And Wawa's coffee is better." Pause. "This is not an advertisement by any sense." That got the laugh line too.
He was story-telling: Center City has converted to card-operated parking meters. No matter; the crowd went right along as he sketched a "Blue Ocean" business strategy -- "Couple gas, with food service, in good locations, with great customer service... No one else is doing that" in Wawa's markets.
Wawa, Gheysens says, now wants to be seen, not as fast food, but as "Fast Casual," in a league with fresh-food but no-waitress-to-tip Five Guys, Chipotle, or Panera, only without all the seating. Except in Florida, and at some new stores, which are adding chairs outside, and seem more like the Sheetz I visited in Carlisle the other day, than the classic move-you-along Wawa way.
"In Florida, we're using the same feel, but a different store model," with glass walls, "and seating outside," Gheysens affirmed. "Go around Philadelphia, you don't see those stores." A majority of Wawas now sell gas, but he's still planning to upgrade smaller no-gas outlets, especially in Center City, and the popular but worn outpost at Penn: "That needs to be a landmark."
Gheysens also said Wawa has made a decision on its store-baked bread experiment in partnership with Amoroso's, Wawa's bread supplier: "Fresh baked rolls. By the end of the year you will have an oven in every Wawa." Which means more bread baked on site (and maybe less from Amoroso's South Jersey industrial bakery).
There'll also be employees in "mock chef coats." "Less clutter. Brighter colors. More consistent," Gheysens says, "with what you find in a Panera or a Starbucks."

Having a mattress in the house that you no longer need can prove to be a big concern for you. Over time, you will need to get rid of it, and if you cannot do this properly, you will simply be contributing to the continued growth of environmental landfills. These are things that you should not worry about these days. Take some time and look for a team of professionals who offer mattress disposal in Cottage Grove. They will not only do a good job for you, but they will ease some of your problems in the process. These are experts who have spent a lot of years offering mattress disposal services to their clients in the past, so there is always a good chance that they will meet your needs without any challenges.
When you are discussing the cost of Cottage Grove mattress disposal, it would be a brilliant idea for you to tell the contractor ahead of time, how many mattresses they are coming to pick. In case you have more than one, it will certainly cost you more, but you can get a discount on additional mattresses. The cost of picking up will still remain the same, because the contractors will only use one truck for this. The cost of labor must also be factored in, so that you do not end up paying too much for a service that should have cost you less.
The cost of mattress removal in Cottage Grove can be anywhere between $60 and $700. Most of the contractors you come across will charge on average around $247. Where possible, spare some time and get more than one quote from different contractors. These are not services that you get on an emergency basis, you can take your time and plan for them accordingly.
For reference it may be helpful to compare the costs from surrounding towns as well:
Most companies that have experts at mattress disposal in Cottage Grove will always have been in the industry for a very long time. You will realize that such companies have a number of years of service to their name, which should help you feel more comfortable working with them. After all, they have served so many clients in the process.
Local companies know your home area better than a foreign company. Other than the satisfaction you get by contributing directly to the local economy through Cottage Grove mattress disposal services, you will save a lot of time by hiring a local contractor for this job.
There are different possibilities here. Some companies donate these products after mattress disposal in Cottage Grove. They can be cleaned and then presented to other companies who might donate them to the homeless instead of destroying them. In some cases, they can also be delivered to the companies that make mattresses to recycle them and make use of them in producing other useful products.
Burning your old mattress might sound like a good idea at first, but when you consider the consequences, you'll realize it's not a good idea at all. First, you will be polluting the air, which means that you will have the attention of the local and federal authorities. There are so many state organizations that could file a lawsuit against you, and this is never a cheap affair. In the course of burning the mattress, the fire could get out of hand, and you end up starting an inferno, causing you losses worth millions of dollars. To avoid all this, just get an expert for Cottage Grove mattress disposal services.

So yesterday I upgraded my main work machine to Gutsy. The upgrade finished just as I was leaving last night so I've spent a limited amount of time using it so far, but enough to form some definite impressions.
I really hope that at least the virtual desktop issue and the screensaver issue get solved quickly! The improved performance and nicer visuals would make this a nice and worthwhile upgrade for me, but those two issues make it a definite downgrade instead. For now.

text: Parking fines cause disputes, raise revenues PAT GROSSMITHNew Hampshire Union Leader August 04. 2014 7:11PM Through July 25 of this year, nearly five times as many handicapped parking violation tickets were written as in all of 2013 in Manchester. (UNION LEADER FILE PHOTO) MANCHESTER — The last thing 57-year-old John Karagianis needed was a parking ticket, especially one carrying a $500 fine. But that's exactly what the disabled man, who makes do on Social Security and public assistance, got last June 23 when, he says, he mistakenly placed an expired handicap placard — instead of his current one that expires next year — on his rearview mirror when parking in a handicap space outside Market Basket. He says he went inside to shop and when he came out, he had a parking ticket for the fraudulent use of walking disability placards/plates. "It was an honest mistake," he says. Ordinance Violations Bureau officials don't see it that way. Supervisor Dale K. Robinson said the parking control officer saw another man park Karagianis' vehicle in the handicap space. Karagianis, according to Robinson, was not in the vehicle. Karagianis maintains that is incorrect. He said he needs knee replacement surgery; he can't drive his 1999 Ford Explorer because of the pain, so his next-door neighbor Tony Watkins drives him around. Watkins drove him to the grocery store the day his truck was ticketed, Karagianis says. Watkins confirmed that in a faxed statement he sent to a reporter. Parking officials told Karagianis to write a letter explaining his situation, which he did, but then he received a letter back telling him he would have to pay the ticket. Robinson informed him in the letter that he could appeal the ticket, but would have to post the $500 as a bond first. The money would be refunded if the court ruled in his favor. He could plan on being in court for two mornings, one for arraignment and the second for the hearing itself. Robinson says he told Karagianis he would reduce the amount he had to post to $100 because of his circumstances. Karagianis says he had no choice but to pay the ticket, borrowing $500 from a friend to cover the cost, because if he didn't, the city would not allow him to register his truck. He plans to file a small claims action against the city in an attempt to get the $500 back. Handicapped parking rules Robinson said the ordinance that went effect in 2012 was needed to address the problem of people using expired, stolen, altered and other people's legally issued handicap parking permits to park in the premium spaces. The city also changed the appeal process for parking tickets, so that the fine is posted up front as a bond. Robinson said in the past, people appealed the tickets but, while the court action was pending, they could still register their cars. This led to people registering their cars but never paying the parking ticket, Robinson said. Robinson said tickets are changed to warnings when a mistake is made. He said since 2012, when the city ordinance went into effect, parking control officers issued 1,071 citations for all handicap parking violations — both those that carry a $250 fine, for individuals who don't have handicap plates or placards who park in the reserved spots — and the $500 tickets. Of those, 609 were changed to warnings, meaning the errant motorists did not have to pay up. Robinson said 462 either paid or have outstanding fines, but he did not have the exact breakdown on those figures. Jump in revenue The adoption of the ordinance two years ago has generated revenue for the city, which just recently hired two more parking control officers, for a complement of six full-time and one part-time. Of the 462 tickets they wrote for handicap parking violations from January 2012 through July 25, 2014, 167 were for fraudulent use of the placards. Nine of those were changed to warnings. The city collected $38,000 for 76 of the citations, while the remaining 82 tickets are yet to be paid. If all the other 295 handicap citations were paid — Robinson said he doesn't have those figures — the city would have received another $73,750. The fine was set high, Robinson said, because anyone who has to pay $500 is unlikely to illegally park again. According to Robinson, when the city ordinance went into effect in 2012, parking control officers issued five tickets for the entire year. One was voided. Fines, which go directly to the city coffers, totaled $2,000. In 2013, 27 tickets were written and five were voided, generating $13,500 for the city. Through July 25 of this year, nearly five times as many tickets were written as in all of 2013. A total of 127 vehicles were ticketed and three citations voided — a potential $63,500 for the city. The city of Concord issued 108 handicap violations and 14 handicap access violations from July 31, 2013 through July 31, 2014. Concord's fine for the "Disabled Permit Required" ordinance is $250, while a $100 fine is assessed for the "Disabled Access" violation of parking on yellow lines adjacent to a handicap parking spot. If all the fines were paid, Concord would receive $23,540 for that time period. The city does not have an ordinance regarding fraudulent permits, according to Lt. Timothy J. O'Malley. Complaint filed Karagianis got into a disagreement with Robinson over the ticket and filed a complaint with the police department against him. Karagianis says Robinson told him he was a police officer and said he would have him arrested if he didn't stop calling Denise Boutilier, head of the parking violations bureau. Karagianis maintains he left polite voice messages for Boutilier, but she never returned his calls. Robinson, who retired from the Manchester Police Department as a deputy police chief, said he did not threaten to arrest Karagianis. He said he told Karagianis to stop calling Boutilier and explained that once he was put on notice to stop telephoning her, he could be charged with harassment. Robinson was a Manchester deputy police chief about a decade ago before retiring and taking a job in the Ordinance Violations Bureau. In April 2009, he was ordered to pay about $4,500 in damages after a judge ruled he committed assault and battery on a 71-year-old man challenging a parking ticket. Karagianis, who has had a handicap placard for about 10 years, said he was a paralegal in Massachusetts, where he owned his own business. firstname.lastname@example.com Health Transportation Manchester Top Section Stories

Sugar prices have fallen to two-and-a-half year lows amid forecasts for an ever expanding 2012-13 global production/consumption surplus. The International Sugar Organization (ISO) has been revising its forecast higher, with its current estimate at 6.2 million tonnes, but some estimates are more than double that figure, at more than 12 million tonnes.
The Brazilian crop staged a dramatic midseason recovery. At one point it seemed that production would fall behind 2011-12 output, but the weather improved. Thus far, Center South output is running about 9% higher than the previous season's. Quite a turnaround.
Estimates for Indian output have edged slightly higher, to 24.3 million tonnes. After liberalizing the export market, exporters shipped 3.5 million tonnes in 2011-12. Export flows were expected to continue, but there has been very little activity on that front this marketing year. That is probably further indication that supplies from traditional channels are ample.
In terms of the supply side, there seems to be more of the same up ahead. Early forecasts for the 2013-14 Brazilian cane crop call for a 10% increase over the current crop. At first glance that would appear to be devastatingly bearish. There are a number of factors to consider, though.
The ethanol/sugar ratio has fallen substantially from a peak of more than 60% a few years ago to 51% this year. There are two reasons Brazilians will be forced to produce more ethanol in the coming months and throughout the new marketing year. First, the percentage of ethanol required to be used by motorists is set to increase from 20% to 25% by June 1 or earlier. Then there is the export market to consider.
In our last article on sugar, we said that optimistic estimates for Brazilian ethanol exports for 2012-13 were as high as 2.55 billion liters. That figure has now jumped to 3 billion liters, with forecasts for 2013-14 as high as 4 billion liters.
Forecasts for the 2013-14 ethanol/sugar ratio are as high as 54%. With the U.S. taking about 85% of Brazilian ethanol exports and ethanol prices becoming more competitive with petroleum prices as crude oil moves dangerously close to $100 per barrel, it is hard to say how much ethanol demand may grow.

Man accused of blocking ambulance at Derry house fireBy HUNTER McGEE
Union Leader Correspondent
March 14. 2014 10:29AM
DERRY - Firefighters quickly extinguished a small fire Thursday night at 23 Beacon Hill Road, allowing four family members who had been evacuated to reoccupy the residence.
And in an unusual event that occurred during the fire, neighbor Robert Lebel, age 52, of 12 Beacon Hill Road was arrested after he became irate when he found an ambulance parked in his driveway, according to fire and police officials.
Lebel parked his car behind the ambulance and refused to move it when asked by both a Derry fire officer and police officer, police Capt. Vern Thomas said in a news release.
Lebel is accused of spitting on the back window of the ambulance and swearing at officers when they asked him again to move his car. When he refused, police arrested him for disorderly conduct, a class A misdemeanor. Lebel was later released and given a March 27 arraignment date at 10th Circuit Court, Derry District Division.
The fire was first reported around 7:55 p.m. and Derry firefighters, along with mutual aid from Windham, responded to the scene. Derry police arrived on the scene first and evacuated a mother and her three children, Derry Battalion Chief Jack Webb said in a news release.
Firefighters were able extinguish the blaze that began on exterior wooden steps of the single family home and spread to the siding and extending into the basement.
Crews also later extinguished a small partition fire that came through the exterior wall and into the basement.
Using thermal imaging firefighters were able to determine that no fire had extended into the first floor. The fire was declared under control at 8:20 p.m.
The family was then able to reoccupy the house, Webb said. The fire was caused by careless disposal of ashes from a wood stove, he said.
Webb reminded homeowners of the importance of proper disposal of ashes from wood stoves. Ashes should be contained in a metal bucket with a tight fitting cover, placed outside and well away from the home, garage or other combustible materials.

BREAKING NEWS: In April 2018, the Hvalur whaling company announced that it will resume hunting endangered fin whales on June 10, following a two-year pause. The director of the company, Kristjan Loftsson, stated that he spent that time researching the use of whale meat, bones, and blubber in such products as iron supplements and medicinal and food additives.
The 2018 quotas set for fin whales in waters around Iceland are the highest in decades. The base quota is 209 fin whales (161 off western Iceland and 48 off the eastern coast), but the numbers killed could go higher if a percentage of the previous year's unused quota is added. The quota for minke whales has also been set; up to 215 of these smaller whales can be killed in 2018 and, again, previously unused quota might be added.
These quotas are not approved by the International Whaling Commission (IWC), and are in defiance of the IWC global moratorium on commercial whaling. Since 2008, Hvalur has shipped more than 8,800 metric tons of whale products to Japan, where the products have been turned into dog treats and sushi.
You can help stop the slaughter. Iceland's whaling industry is inextricably linked to its fishing industry.

If you buy seafood, ask your local supermarket, big-box store, wholesale club, or restaurant to verify that any seafood products they sell do not come from a source linked to Icelandic whaling. Refer them to the DontBuyFromIcelandicWhalers.com website if they have questions. If they cannot guarantee to you that the Icelandic seafood products are not "whaling free," don't buy from them until they can.

Iceland returned to commercial whaling in 2006 and since then has killed more than 1,000 whales. In December 2013, the government of Iceland issued a new five-year quota for fin and minke whales, under which it approved the slaughter of nearly 2,000 whales.
Iceland's domestic market for whale products is small; it exports most of the whale meat and blubber to Japan, defying a global ban on international commercial trade in whale products.
In Europe and North America, conservation and animal protection NGOs have been encouraging the public not to buy fish from whalers, putting pressure on fish suppliers and retailers to ensure they do not source from Icelandic companies linked to whaling.

Which Icelandic companies are tied to whaling?
There are direct links between Iceland's whaling industry and powerful elements of Iceland's fishing industry. Fish sourced from whaling-linked companies in Iceland is exported to the United States and Europe both directly and through third parties.
Iceland's domestic market for whale products is small; it exports most of the whale meat and blubber to Japan, defying a global ban on international commercial trade in whale products.
The Hvalur hf company has killed more than 700 endangered fin whales since 2006 and shipped over 7,200 metric tons of fin whale meat, blubber and other products to Japan. In addition to being used in sushi or soups, some of the meat from this magnificent—and endangered—species is used as dog treats.
Individuals and companies that are tied to Hvalur control a significant percentage of shares in HB Grandi, one of Iceland's leading seafood companies. In addition, individuals that manage these companies are also key players in HB Grandi's corporate leadership. For example, Kristján Loftsson, who partly owns and manages Hvalur, is the chairman of the board of HB Grandi. HB Grandi subsidiaries include Vignir G. Jónsson, Norðanfiskur, and Laugafiskur. In addition, HB Grandi owns 20 percent of the shares in a Chilean company, Deris, which in turn owns the Friosur seafood company.
Although not a seafood company, leading fishing gear manufacturer Hampiðjan is also linked to the whaling industry; Kristján Loftsson is a member of the company's board of directors, and companies tied to Hvalur own shares in Hampiðjan. Among the many products that the company produces is a nylon Dynex line identified as being used by Hvalur as a trigger line for the harpoons used to kill fin whales.
A dead fin whale, dragged onto the dock at the Hvalur hf whaling station in September, 2013. After being flensed, its meat was taken to HB Grandi in Akranes for further processing.
HB Grandi, the largest seafood company in Iceland, holds roughly 11 percent of the country's fishing quotas, including for redfish, cod, Greenland halibut, haddock, saithe, mackerel and herring. It owns numerous vessels and operates several fish processing plants at which it also produces fishmeal and fish oil.
From the time that Iceland resumed commercial whaling in 2006 until 2014, fin whale meat was transported by truck from the Hvalur whaling station to Akranes, where it was cut, packaged, boxed, and made ready for export in HB Grandi facilities.

In August 2013, HB Grandi's marketing manager, Brynjólfur Eyjólfsson, stated in an interview that the company "had nothing to do with whaling," even though at the time whale meat was being processed at the Akranes building owned by HB Grandi. Further, in March of 2014, Mr. Eyjólfsson repeated the claim that HB Grandi had nothing to do with whaling, including the processing of whale meat. HB Grandi CEO Vilhjálmur Vilhjálmsson has also gone on record numerous times to state that the company "is not involved in whaling and never has been." Yet throughout the 2013 and 2014 whaling seasons, meat from endangered fin whales caught by Hvalur hf was cut, packed and processed for export at the HB Grandi facility in Akranes.
In March 2015, HB Grandi announced that there would be no further processing of whale meat at their facility in Akranes. While it appears that whale meat was not processed at the HB Grandi site in Akranes during the 2015 whaling season, the company continues to be linked to whaling. On-the-ground investigations in September, 2015, found that a truck towing a container bearing the logo of Norðanfiskur—a seafood company wholly owned by HB Grandi since 2014—transported crates of whale products from the whaling station at Hvalfjörður to Hvalur's freezer facility in Hafnarfjörður. Further investigation revealed that the trucking company used to tow the whale meat, Eignarhaldsfélagið ÞÞÞ ehf., is a shareholder in HB Grandi.
In addition, there are still significant corporate ties between Hvalur hf and HB Grandi, not least of which is the fact that Kristján Loftsson, Hvalur CEO and HB Grandi chairman, is also chair of the HB Grandi board of directors. Vogun hf, the largest shareholder in HB Grandi with more than a third of HB Grandi shares, is almost entirely owned by Hvalur hf.

The Don't Buy from Icelandic Whalers Coalition would like to thank the following companies for their help in trying to end commercial whaling in Iceland:
While many of the companies that import directly or indirectly from HB Grandi and its subsidiaries are not household names, a few companies are well known:ECCO Women B075NSBQ39 s Women 19996 s Shape Tie up Camel Ballerina Ballet Flat Camel 04c2b0f
Numerous airlines have committed not to transport whale products, including Air Malta, Crossair Hauptsitz (Switzerland), Czech Airlines, British Airways, Deutsche Lufthansa (Germany), KLM (Dutch), Austrian Airlines, LOT (Poland), Swissair, Tyrolean Airways (Austrian), Air 2000 (British), Air Europa Lineas Aereas S.A. (Balearic Islands), Britainnia, Spanair, Sterling European (Denmark), Finnair, Iran Air, Air France, Sabena (Belgium), Maleu (Hungry), and Onur Air (Turkey).
On February 15, 2016, the Orient Overseas Container Line Ltd. (OOCL) became the latest marine cargo shipping company to state that it would no longer transport whale products. OOCL joins CMA-CGM, Evergreen, Hapag-Lloyd, and Maersk in refusing to transport whale meat.Eimskip: Transporting Products for HVALUR and HB Grandi
Icelandic shipping company, Eimskipafélag Íslands (a.k.a. The Icelandic Steamship Company, or Eimskip) has yet to make a public commitment not to ship whale products, although in a meeting with Don't Buy representatives in March 2016, company executives indicated that they would consider doing so.Flats
Multiple investigations have documented Eimskip-labeled trucks moving containers of whale meat between locations owned by Hvalur, as well as transporting whale meat in 2013 and 2014 from the Hvalur-owned whaling station to a processing facility owned by HB Grandi, Eignarhaldsfélagið ÞÞÞ ehf., the company towing the container of whale meat bearing Norðanfiskur advertising, is a minor shareholder in both HB Grandi and Eimskip. Eimskip officials indicated that they do not control the transport decisions of ÞÞÞ ehf.
Eimskip has shipped whale meat internationally; in 2013 an Eimskip-operated vessel, the Westerkade, carried whale meat from Hvalur to the Canadian port of Halifax. In their meeting with our coalition, Eimskip stated that it has not been involved in any further overseas shipments of whale products.
In Europe and North America, conservation and animal protection NGOs have been encouraging the public not to buy fish from whalers, putting pressure on fish suppliers and retailers to ensure they do not source from Icelandic companies linked to whaling.
Our coalition has written to dozens of companies asking them to confirm that they oppose commercial whaling, and that they do not buy seafood from HB Grandi and its associated companies. For a full list of the letters sent, please click here.
In addition, coalition members have attended several seafood shows in the United States and Europe, raising our concerns about Icelandic whaling and HB Grandi's links to the Hvalur hf whaling company. We've taken out advertising on the Boston public transit system, and on telephone kiosks in New York City, to raise awareness of the issue. The coalition ran a two-week advertising campaign on Alaska Dispatch News to coincide with the Conference on Global Leadership in the Arctic: Cooperation, Innovation, Engagement and Resilience (GLACIER); the ad protested the transit of 1,800 metric tons of endangered Icelandic fin whale products through Russia's Arctic sea routes.
We are also working with partner conservation organizations in Europe, helping with their campaign to urge major European seafood buyers to support efforts to stop Icelandic whaling.
The Don't Buy from Icelandic Whalers Coalition would like to thank the companies for their help in trying to end commercial whaling in Iceland, you can see a list of those companies here.
We are grateful for the positive responses thus far, but still need your help securing additional answers to our request.

A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Stapleford from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
Research Tips
Lincolnshire is very low-lying and land had to be drained for agriculture to be successful. The larger drainage channels, many of which are parallel to each other, became boundaries between parishes. Many parishes are long and thin for this reason.
There is much fenland in Lincolnshire, particularly in the Boston and Horncastle areas. Fenlands tended to be extraparochial before the mid 1850s, and although many sections were identified with names and given the title "civil parish", little information has been found about them. Many appear to be abolished in 1906, but the parish which adopts them is not given in A Vision of Britain through Time. Note the WR category Lincolnshire Fenland Settlements which is an attempt to organize them into one list.
From 1889 until 1974 Lincolnshire was divided into three administrative counties: Parts of Holland, Parts of Kesteven and Parts of Lindsey. These formal names do not fit with modern grammatical usage, but that is what they were, nonetheless. In 1974 the northern section of Lindsey, along with the East Riding of Yorkshire, became the short-lived county of Humberside. In 1996 Humberside was abolished and the area previously in Lincolnshire was made into the two "unitary authorities" of North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire. The remainder of Lincolnshire was divided into "non-metropolitan districts" or "district municipalities" in 1974. Towns, villages and parishes are all listed under Lincolnshire, but the present-day districts are also given so that places in this large county can more easily be located and linked to their wider neighbourhoods. See the WR placepage Lincolnshire, England and the smaller divisions for further explanation.

Man charged following robbery in RochesterBy John Quinn
Union Leader Correspondent
March 22. 2013 10:13AM
ROCHESTER – Police arrested a Winter Street man who robbed another man along Portland Street Thursday evening.
Officers responded at 5:47 p.m. after Jerrell Luther, 34, of 17 Winter St., allegedly used physical force to take an undisclosed amount of cash from an unnamed man near School Street.
No weapons were used and the victim suffered only minor abrasions, according to police.
Police issued an alert for the man and a green Chevy Blazer used to flee the scene. The vehicle was later spotted along South Main Street by a N.H. State Trooper, who contacted police. As a result, Luther was charged with robbery. He is being held at Strafford County jail in Dover on a probation violation.
Robbery is a Class B felony, which could result in up to 3½ to 7 years in prison, if convicted.
Luther is scheduled to be arraigned in 7th Circuit Court in Rochester Friday at 11 a.m.

Manchester to take legal action against Hooksett for school moveBy TED SIEFER
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 29. 2013 11:35PM
MANCHESTER - District officials intend to take legal action against Hooksett to prevent the town from continuing to allow its high school students to leave the city.
In an escalation of the months-long dispute, the Board of School Committee voted unanimously Monday to have the district's attorney seek an injunction against the Hooksett board to block it from authorizing students to leave the district. The motion also directs the attorney to seek "restitution" for those students who do leave.
Hooksett pays tuition to Manchester for its high school students to attend city schools under a contract that runs through 2023. Hooksett pays the Manchester district $8,500 per student. If 70 Hooksett students leave the district, it will leave a $600,000 budget hole for the coming school year.
Hooksett officials have contended that Manchester is in breach of the contract on the grounds that the district has failed to meet minimum state standards - in particular by having classes with more than 30 students per teacher. The Hooksett School Board is already in the legal process of declaring Manchester in breach of the contract.
Manchester has in turn suggested that the Hooksett board was violating the contract by allowing dozens of students to leave the district. The contract requires Hooksett, as well as Candia, the remaining town in the contract, to send all of their public high students to Manchester.
Superintendent Thomas Brennan said that he had been informed that more than 70 Hooksett students had been authorized to leave the district.
"We continue to be informed of students being assigned to schools outside Manchester. Based on a letter I sent on your behalf, I ordered that they cease and desist," Brennan told the school board, referring to a letter he sent to Hooksett officials earlier in the year.
The motion to take legal action was made by the board's vice chairman, Dave Gelinas, who also proposed that Candia be copied in any legal communications.
Candia officials have also protested school conditions in Manchester, but they have maintained a dialogue with the city school board.
"We continue in a collaborative relationship," said Ward 1 board member Sarah Ambrogi.
Gelinas later withdrew his motion to include Candia in any legal communication.
