We're making a special effort at this year's Scituate Art Festival to divert solid waste from the landfill. Volunteers will work behind the food court booths in managing back-of-the-kitchen waste. Duties do NOT include hauling garbage, but instead focus on providing information and assistance to the busy food vendor volunteers. Please copy and paste the following link into your browser to sign up (Fri 10/11 through Mon 10/14). Online training for all volunteers will be provided by our partners at Epic Renewal.

Copy and paste this URL into your browser to volunteer:

We're also posting this invitation on the Scituate Facebook Page and the Scituate Sustainability Committee Facebook page, if you'd rather link from there. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you!

Every year we hold a book sale/fund raiser at the Art Festival. We could use student help, especially during the following times:

Friday October 11, 9:00AM until 1:00PM, and until 4:00PM if able, moving bins of books from a storage unit in the back of the library to the the tent in the front.

Monday, after 4:00PM, moving the empty bins back, inside the library.

We could also use help during the book sale on the three days, basically organizing the tables.

The biggest help we could use is on the Friday morning, moving the bins of the books.

Community Service paperwork will be provided.

Lynn Dion can be contacted at scituatemusic@hotmail.com

Reduce the risk of West Nile virus (WNV) and Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) after mosquitoes tested positive for the diseases. WNV is most commonly spread to people by the bite of an infected mosquito, and mosquito season in Rhode Island runs from summer through fall. Mosquitoes are most active at dawn and dusk, in the shade, and when temperatures are above 55°F.

Here are some precautions that everyone can take to reduce the risk of WNV:

• Use protective clothing

  
  

• Have students wear long-sleeved shirts and pants.

• Use bug spray

• Use an EPA-approved bug spray with DEET (20–30% strength), picaridin, IR3535, oil of lemon eucalyptus, or paramenthane. Don't use bug spray with DEET on children under two months old.

• Maintain screens

• Ensure that window and door screens are in good condition and don't have holes or be loose.

• Reduce standing water

• Remove standing water from containers like buckets, pots, wheelbarrows, boats, and pools.\

  
  

• Clogged rain gutters and puddles on tarps can also support mosquito larvae.
