Vertigo Theatre Presents:
SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE CASE OF JERSEY LILY
May 12 to Jun 12
Threatened with blackmail over private correspondence with the

famed detective Sherlock Holmes to get her letters back. With the
nation’s most precious jewels and the reputation of the monarchy
at stake, Holmes must engage in a battle of wits with a former
nemesis, Professor Moriarty, to solve the case. And when Oscar
Wilde himself enters the scene, sparkling repartee abounds.

Spring Cleaning Green Tips » Avoid cleaners containing phosphates. When they get into rivers and lakes they cause
algae blooms, robbing the water of oxygen, blocking sunlight and ultimately killing
aquatic life;
» Use reusable cloths. Instead of throwing away one-use items like paper towels and mop
pads, use old t-shirts and other rags that you can wash and use again;
» Minimize use of bleaches. The most common bleach is chlorine, which in wastewater
can create toxic compounds. Non-chlorine bleaches are gentler to clothes and the
environment, though they are less effective in colder-water temperatures requiring
more energy-intensive hot water;
» Buy concentrates. Ask manufacturers to produce refillable versions that allow you to
refill a spray bottle by adding water to a packaged concentrate;
» Make sure containers are kept dry to prevent corrosion. If a container begins to corrode,
place it in a plastic bucket with a lid and clearly label it.
DIY Green Cleaners » Drain Cleaner: Pour a half-cup of baking soda down the sink and add at least a cup of
vinegar. Cover the drain and wait a few minutes, then rinse with a mixture of boiling
water and salt;
» Window Cleaner: Mix two ounces of vinegar with a quart of water in a spray bottle;
» Silver Polish: Put a sheet of aluminum foil into a plastic or glass bowl. Sprinkle the foil
with salt and baking soda and fill the bowl with warm water. Soak your silver in the bowl
and tarnish migrates to the foil. Dry and buff;
» Brass Cleaner: Cut a lemon in half, sprinkle it with salt and rub the lemon on the metal.
Buff with a cloth;
» Rust Remover: Use vinegar to remove rust on nuts and bolts and other mineral deposits
such as calcium deposits.
Spring Safety TipsGot the itch to get outside? We don’t blame you. After a long winter of being indoors, we’re all
anxious to get outside and to get working on our spring cleaning and home to do list. As you
prepare for the spring and summer months ahead, we put together this handy checklist for
you to easily reference to ensure you have a safe and secure home.
The change of season is always a good reminder to do some periodical checkups on your
home.
» Check all your smoke detectors for low batteries. They are no good if they don’t go off;
PALLISER NEWS
ASPEN TOOLS
» Sign up for a P.O. box and send important mail there to prevent identity theft;
» Make sure all your door locks are working and install deadbolts on all doors with outside
access;
» Install motion sensitive outdoor lights. Not only they make for a safer home but they also
deter criminals;
» Trim your shrubs around the home where burglars could hide;
» Go through old files. Shred unnecessary paperwork and file away important documents
in a fireproof safe;
» Install a home security system; this is the single most important thing you can do to
secure your house from fire, flooding and crime.
