Time to Spring Forward!With spring right around the corner, it's time to "spring forward” and move our clocks ahead one hour. This adjustment will give us an extra hour of sunlight in the evening. On Sunday, March 13th, at 2:00 am local standard time, clocks that automatically update will change to 3:00 am. Don't forget to change all other clocks in your home and car to prevent being an hour late to work or school.

Let's Talk TrashWe understand how busy everyone is but we cannot allow our residents to leave a bag of trash outside their apartment doors because they didn't have time to take it to the dumpster. If our maintenance department has to get your trash, you will be fined.

SNOW REMOVAL POLICYMany times we get phone calls and visits from angry residents asking why we haven't salted during a snow event. We wanted to take a moment to explain that salt isn't very effective against ice in bitterly cold temperatures. As the temperature drops in the evening hours, salt's effectiveness slows to down to the point that when the temperatures get down near 10 degrees and below, salt hardly works at all. Salt IS effective at these very cold temperatures in sunshine.....if there is sunshine. However, this can be dangerous when salt is applied to some snow and melts that snow. What happens next if the overnight temperature drops below 15 degrees, that snow melt (which essentially becomes a saltwater solution) can refreeze into a layer of ice.

We do our best to make judgment calls that will benefit the entire community. Regardless if you are going to your car, in the parking lot of Charleston Pines or any other location in the area (work, store, school, etc), you must use caution. Please understand that our staff does the best they can in making these calls and in providing snow removal to the entire community in a timely fashion.

We have been very lucky this winter as we haven't had many snow occurrences in comparison to years past. The maintenance technicians wanted to thank those individuals who have taken the time to pat them on the back and thank them for a job well done! Shoveling, snow blowing and putting ice melt down is a cold and demanding job.

Now more than ever, people are showing concern for our planet by living in such a way that alleviates some of the stress the human race has put on it over the years. We are all familiar with the ways that advancing technologies have encouraged us to decrease our energy use, but many are looking to make environmentally positive changes at home as well. This can be done by using natural cleaning products, using less water in daily routines, and even by the way we furnish our living spaces. According to a survey by Realtor.com®, more than 30% surveyed said that they currently live in an “eco-friendly” residence and nearly 85% said that they would opt for a more eco-friendly living environment. That’s great news for “green” furniture companies, second-hand shops, and most importantly, mother earth.Furnishing your residence in an eco-friendly way can be something as simple as choosing pieces that contain materials like ecologically harvested wood, sustainable bamboo, organic fabrics or fills on upholstered pieces, and making sure non-toxic finishes are used. Also, you’ll want to look for fair-trade companies or buy from local establishments that are using best practices when it comes to how the materials are harvested or made. This process of buying “green” sometimes comes with a hefty price tag, but online retailers, such as Overstock.com, offer Worldstock, where you can purchase handmade and fair-trade goods, many of which are made from sustainable materials, at a more moderate price point.Another major way you can “go green” at home, reduce your carbon footprint, and save some serious cash, is by shopping at second-hand stores for pieces that can be repurposed in your home. In addition to making “one man’s trash another man’s treasure,” it’s fun to hunt for that unique piece that will give your home a little character for years to come. You can always personalize the piece by painting it a new color, using non-toxic paints. And when it’s time to freshen up your space and say good-bye to your old favorite piece, make sure it finds its way to a new home and not to a landfill. You can sell old furniture on Craigslist, in your local newspaper, or give it away on Freecycle.org.

Try this St. Patrick’s Day favorite, using Irish beer in place of water, giving the dish a richer flavor.

THE WORST LIST

In 2009, Todd Bol of Hudson, Wisconsin, built a sweet tribute to his mother, a former school teacher who adored reading. The tribute came in the form of a little red school house that he built with a hinged door on the front and a compartment that could hold a small supply of books. Todd placed it in his front yard, with a little sign that read “Esther Bol Memorial Library” and his neighbors and friends were delighted that they could engage in a book exchange right in his front yard. The first “Little Free Library” was born and they’ve been popping up all over the United States ever since.

Bol, along with his business partner, Rick Brooks, made it their mission “to promote literacy and the love of reading by building free book exchanges worldwide and to build a sense of community as [people] share skills, creativity and wisdom across generations.” Their goal to have 2,510 libraries across the country was inspired by Andrew Carnegie, who greatly supported public libraries around the turn of the 19th century, and Lutie Stearns, a Wisconsin librarian who brought books to 1,400 locations through traveling libraries between 1895 and 1914. It is safe to say that number has been exceeded, as there are currently over 36,000 Little Free Libraries in the United States. Check out littlefreelibrary.org to find one near you!
