COLONIAL HEIGHTS — Living and eating organically has become increasingly popular lately, and Colonial Heights has just the spot to help those interested in joining.

Located at 2102 Boulevard, the Organic Garden features organic, natural food and body products. The store opened in December of 2012, and business has done nothing but grown.Owner Rob Riggins, who also owns a heating and air busi-ness, opened the store in order to share his healthy lifestyle with others in the community. Riggins’ was feeding his son these organic products, and began eating the same in order to be a good role model for his son.

sçíÉÇ _Éëí=m~áåíÉêÒ=få=oáÅÜãçåÇ=Äó=^åÖáÉÛë=iáëíÒR=`çåëÉÅìíáîÉ=vÉ~êë

“I thought, if all of us are eating it, we might as well try and grow it ourselves,” said Riggins.

So after researching the ins and outs of organic gardening, Riggins began to grow his own products.

Riggins built his own hydroponic system to grow the prod-ucts. The store was competed by Riggins as well, including painting, flooring, installing lights and making the green-house where the products are grown.

The majority of products sold in the store are grown in the greenhouse inside the building. These include greens such as lettuce, kale and watercress, as well as peppers, tomatoes, and cooking herbs.

“We were going to try and grow more, but with the room re-strictions that we have, we decided to grow main items peo-ple are looking for, and outsource the rest,” said Riggins.

The products not grown in the store are made and grown lo-cally and brought in.

“We have eggs from McKenney, white sweet potatoes and cheese from Chesapeake, honey from Colonial Heights,” Rig-gins said. “The body products are from Franklin and Enon, and the spice rubs and tea mixes are from Willow Oaks Farms in Dinwiddie.”

Riggins hopes that his store will encourage members of the community to but locally and organically, making the area

healthier and happier, and is planning on expanding in order to have more to give.

“We’re looking into expanding so we can grow more, and set the store up more like a small grocery store,” Riggins said.Riggins also plans on trying to start a mobile organic juice bar to set up around the area.

The store is open Monday through Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and Saturday 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. n

Facts about Snakes

By JAMes PeAceMAker Jr.Managing Editor

Homeowners will often see a snake in their yard and think of it as a pest.

But in fact just the opposite is true. Snakes kill harmful ro-dents, and if they are killed, will probably just be replaced by another snake.

Jessi Sakiewicz, a reptile expert from Rockwood Nature Center who spoke at Enon Library recently, said it is not that difficult to live in harmony with the slithering reptiles and they have a lot more to fear from us than we do of them.

A few simple steps can make it easier to avoid problems.

Sakiewicz said snakes don’t have ears but do use their lower jaw to sense vibration in the ground. It is sensitive enough to

pick up sounds. “It’s proven that some can even recognize words,” she said.So if you don’t want a run-in with a snake in the woods, walk with a heavy step.

Most will move away, because there are no aggressive snakes in our area, Sakiewicz said.

“There is no snake in Virginia that will chase you,” she said.

Sakiewicz said the only snake that has been accused of it is the black rat snake. She said that is likely because they have either been living in bushes near a home or the crawl space. It will run back to its home even if its in the same direction as your home where you may be running.

“You run for your house. They run for their house. It just so happens it is the same house,” Sakiewicz said.

You should seal holes or cracks around your home if you want to keep snakes out. Snakes can squeeze through very small spaces. You should also clear brush, tall grass, leaves and other types of debris that a snake could use as habitat.

But snakes can also be a welcome sight around your home and garden.

Mice can be a problem for farmers who store grain. They can get into the food source or even pass on diseases to farm ani-mals. But rat snakes feed on the rats and mice.

“Farmers usually love these guys. … ” Sakiewicz said. “If you’ve got a barn, you’ve probably got one of these whether you’ve seen them or not.”

The snakes also eat moles and voles that can damage your

yard or other plants.

Sakiewicz said the rat snakes are very good climbers and can end up in the rafters.

They don’t fall on people on purpose but sometimes sit on a rafter right behind a door and cause quite a scare when they drop down.“They aren’t attacking. They are just as scared as you,” she said.

But not all farmers love these snakes.

“They love bird eggs and they love baby chicks. So that’s why they are very good climbers,” Sakiewicz said.

She said chicken farmers can’t stand these snakes because they will raid nests. These snakes are territorial and will come back to the same spots.

“They know where the food sources are,” she said.

Smaller wire mesh can be used to keep the snakes out of ar-eas where chickens are kept.

Sometimes they will get caught in chicken fences after eating an egg that is larger than their body.

But no matter how comfortable some homeowners may be with a rat snake, there are some snakes that will nearly al-ways be an unwelcome sight.

Sakiewicz explained that there are three species of poisonous snakes in Virginia — the timber rattlesnake, the copperhead and the water moccasin, also know as a cottonmouth.

The rattlesnake is not found in the Tri-City area and cotton-mouth is typically only found near water.

The water moccasin is also known as a cottonmouth because the interior of their mouths are white. They are more ag-gressive than other poisonous snakes and won’t run away, Sakiewicz said.

“They will not chase, but if you actually see one and it’s coiled up … it is ready to bite,” she said.

They have a very dense population in the Dismal Swamp area of Virginia but are only in certain parts of our area, including the Appomattox River.

Copperheads are a bit more skittish.

“Copperheads are actually very shy,” Sakiewicz said. If you are within about two to three of their path they will usually just run away, she said.

Poisonous snakes in Virginia can also be identified because they have cat-like eyes with slit shaped pupils instead of round pupils. The three poisonous snakes found in Virginia are also all members of the pit viper family and have wide triangle-shaped heads. The sides of their jaws protrude be-cause that’s where their venom sacks are.

Coloration of the three poisonous snakes in Virginia can vary widely and is often similar nonpoisonous snakes.

“We actually have a lot of snakes in Virginia that are small and brown,” Sakiewicz said.

They eat bugs and can be good for the garden, she said.

Copperhead babies keep the same pattern as the adult ex-cept they have a yellow or lime green tail tip. Water mocca-sins are the same way.

Baby black snakes are often confused with copperheads be-cause they are the same color except they don’t have a yel-low-tipped tail.

“They actually get killed a lot thinking they are copperheads,” Sakiewicz said.

Some snakes lay eggs, while others keep the eggs inside of their bodies until they hatch. The eggs are leathery and not hard like a bird egg. Copperheads do not lay eggs, so if you find snake eggs then they are not copperheads.

If you do find a snake skin in or around your home, it is pos-sible to tell if the snake was poisonous.

For snakes native to Virginia, you can tell it is from a poison-ous snake of there are single rows of scales at the tip of the tail on the underside. Nonvenomous snakes will have two rows of overlapping scales.

Younger snakes shed their skin more frequently than older snakes because they are growing faster.

While it might be tempting to kill all snakes indiscriminate-ly, one thing to keep in mind is that nonpoisonous snakes can also keep poisonous snakes in check, Sakiewicz said.

Or in some cases nonpoisonous snakes can kill the poisonous ones.

Kingsnakes are known for eating other snakes. The word king in a snake’s name indicates that it eats other snakes. The king cobra is another example.

Kingsnakes are immune to the venom of poisonous snakes that are native to their habitat. The eastern kingsnake, which is native to Virginia, is black with white bands.

But even if a nonpoisonous snake is not a snake eater, it can help keep copperhead populations down because they com-pete for the same food. n

Home Energy Check UpProgram

contriButed rePort

Dominion Virginia Power is offering a little help saving money on energy bills this summer. Programs with financial incentives offer customers ways to complete

home-energy audits, upgrade mechanical equipment and tune up their heating and cooling units. “Making minor adjustments at home can result in big savings on your energy bill,” said Gianna Clark, vice president of Customer Service. “Dominion offers rebates that can cover the cost of having a contractor evaluate your home’s energy efficiency.” Home Energy Check Up Program When customers complete a home energy check up, they receive a personalized report showing the potential cost savings they could earn by implementing energy-saving measures. Participating contractors collect home energy consumption data to recommend and install energy-saving improvements including:

• compact fluorescent light bulbs • efficient faucet aerators and showerheads • replacement air filters for air conditioners • door weather-stripping • smart outlet strips


The program reimburses customers up to $250 in qualified energy-saving improvements. For more information on the Home Energy Check Up, visit: dom.com; keyword “conservation” or call 1-866-DOM-HELP.

“They actually repaired some things that will save me money,” said Alan Lipford, a Dominion Virginia Power customer from the Richmond area. Lipford recently took advantage of the Home Energy Check Up. “There is no downside. It’s a win-win situation.” Start Saving Today You can save a lot with easy, do-it-yourself projects. The number one way to conserve energy is to set the thermostat to 78 degrees or higher during the summer months. A savings of up to 3 percent on cooling costs can be achieved for each degree the thermostat is increased.

“We recognize home heating and cooling systems can use a large amount of energy,” Clark said. “Routine inspections can help those systems operate efficiently.”

Sunlight shining through windows can account for up to 40 percent of unwanted heat gain forcing the air conditioner to work two to three times harder. Closing the blinds or curtains during the day offers one solution. Turning off lights and the TV as you leave the room or unplugging appliances are simple solutions that yield immediate energy savings. The following tips will help you save energy and money:

• In the summer, set the thermostat to 78 degrees or the highest comfortable temperature.

• Use programmable thermostats that turn up the AC when you’re away.

• Turn off and unplug everything possible when not at home.

• Turn off ceiling fans when leaving the room. Ceiling fans don’t cool spaces, but cool people by creating a wind chill effect.

• Replace or clean forced-air heating/cooling system filters monthly.

• Keep the water heater set at 120 degrees and insulate the heater and adjacent pipes to prevent heat loss.

• Close the flue to the fireplace when not in use. • Use an outdoor grill during hot weather to reduce heat

from indoor cooking. • When closed and lowered on sunny days, highly reflective

blinds can reduce indoor heat by as much as 45 percent. • Consider installing LED light bulbs in outdoor fixtures

for their durability and energy savings.

Planting treesPlanting trees can enhance the health and beauty of the community. But did you know, planning which tree and where it should be planted can actually save you money and increase electric reliability around your home?

A little extra planning before planting trees or shrubs near power lines can go a long way to avoid trouble. Trees along power lines often grow too tall and cause power outages, requiring consistent trimming to help ensure the lights stay on.

“Planting the right tree in the right place is the best way to ensure the optimum health of the tree, while helping Dominion keep the lines clear and the lights on,” said Jay Griles, manager of distribution forestry. “A good rule of thumb is to avoid planting any trees within 15 feet of a power line. Small and medium sized trees are suitable 15-35 feet from the line, and tall trees should be at least 35 feet away.”

Planting the right trees in the right places also conserves energy and reduces your energy bills. By strategically placing trees around the home, customers can save energy by providing summer shade, winter warmth, and winter windbreaks:

• Plant deciduous trees like oak, maple, gum, ash and dogwood. They lose their leaves in the winter, letting the sun through to warm your home. In summer, their leaves provide shade. Plant shade trees to the south, where your home receives the most sun.

• Evergreens are effective for blocking wind. Plant them in a staggered or double line to the northwest of your home.

• Smaller foundation plants can minimize the loss of cool air away from the house in summer and, in winter, provide additional wind protection.

• Shade your air conditioner by planting trees or shrubs nearby. The unit won’t have to work as hard to keep up on hot days. n

Cankerworms

a growing problem in the Richmond region


contriButed rePort

Fall cankerworms are expected to return with a vengeance in the Richmond region, according to officials with the Virginia Department of Forestry.

For the past two years, people in the area have complained about the worms hanging from silken strands in their yards and crawling over everything. In areas where infestations are heavy, people can even hear them eating the leaves off their trees (the sound is actually due to the worms’ frass [bug poop] falling from the trees).

“While cankerworms aren’t harmful to people, they can be a great nuisance or cause distress to those who have a particular aversion to insects,” said Dr. Chris Asaro, VDOF’s forest health specialist. “The real problem is the defoliation they can cause. Typically, one year of heavy defoliation will not greatly harm an otherwise healthy tree, but with two or three straight years of heavy defoliation, tree death becomes much more common.”

Homeowners have just a short time to protect vulnerable trees.

Dave Terwilliger, VDOF’s area forester in Hanover County, said, “There’s a relatively non-toxic insecticide called B.t. that homeowners can have sprayed on trees to control cankerworm, but it must be applied soon after the cankerworms’ eggs hatch to be effective. The best time to do that spraying is when the host tree’s leaves begin emerging. If you wait until you see defoliation, it’s too late for B.t. to be effective and the damage is already done.”

Cankerworms become moths, which begin emerging from the ground in the fall. Female moths are wingless and flightless, and they climb to the tops of trees to lay their eggs. This occurs between November and March. In December 2013, VDOF officials wrapped a band of plastic covered with a sticky substance around the base of 70 trees between Richmond and Fredericksburg to monitor the female moths. As the moths attempt to climb to the top of the trees, they become caught in the sticky bands. Counting the number of female moths in the bands serves as an indicator of potential spring defoliation levels.

Dr. Asaro said, “Typically, catching more than 100 female moths per tree during the winter would suggest heavy defoliation in the spring. Most of the trees we banded had several hundred female moths with some approaching 1,000 female moths per tree.”

Large cankerworm outbreaks are often sustained for only a year or two before their population crashes due to natural enemies, such as birds, disease, insect predators and parasites. During the past couple of years, however, cankerworm activity has spanned more than 2 million acres in eastern Virginia.

According to Dr. Asaro, such an expansive infestation over several years has never been reported before in this region.“On a broad scale, the current outbreak seems to be self-sustaining, and it’s not clear when a complete population crash will finally occur,” he said. “Due to the limited dispersal of the adult moths, outbreaks tend to recur in the same areas over many decades.”

Homeowners who wish to protect the trees on their property from fall cankerworms are urged to take action now. The focus for protection should be high-value landscape trees, particularly oaks, which are a preferred food source for cankerworms. Contact a professional arborist to perform the spraying operation.

Dr. Asaro said, “In ecological terms, cankerworms and other defoliators can have a beneficial effect on the forest by providing a food source for birds and other wildlife. In addition, all that frass falling to the ground restores nutrients to the soil, which trees can recover through their root systems. Most trees will re-foliate quickly and fully recover from defoliation. The general public should not be too concerned about environmental impacts from this pest.”

MAKE OURDOOR SPACE AN EXTENSION OF YOUR HOME

Bringing Indoor Comfort

OUTSIDEFAMily FeAtures

The arrival of summer, along with its sunny skies and beautiful weather, beckons homeowners to create a space to entertain guests and enjoy the great outdoors. Design an outdoor living room that merges style and function, and in-corporates elements of indoor comfort.

Whether entertaining for two or 10, the warmer weather provides an abundance of opportunities to lounge in peaceful, open-air surroundings. New offerings in decor and design breathe indoor inspi-

ration into your outdoor spaces, creat-ing a beautiful extension of your home for all to enjoy.

“It’s easier than ever to bring the com-fort and style of your favorite indoor spaces into your porch, patio and other outdoor areas,” said Aimee Beatty, in-house stylist with Pier 1 Imports. “From comfy throw pillows to trendy rugs, col-orful artwork and cheery curtains, new outdoor products boast durability and so much style that your patio will be the neighborhood’s go-to summer hot spot.”

Beatty shares some of her stylish secrets to make your outdoor space an elegant living space worth sharing.

Arrange awayTreat your outdoor area as you would your living room. If space is limited, use sectionals to create seating in whatever arrangement fits best. If there is more room, add an investment piece, such as the Echo Beach Dining Table from Pier 1 Imports. This high-quality piece is made from handcrafted, all-weather synthetic rattan and offers plenty of space to ar-range chairs just as you would in your


dining room. Finish the look by layering your favorite accessories, such as hand-crafted trays, detailed lanterns and a colorful floral arrangement to create a cheerful centerpiece that makes your guests feel welcome.

Tie it all togetherTo let you in on a little secret — outdoor rugs tie everything together and really bring a space to life. Simply layer a rug, such as Pier 1 Imports’ chic Wavy Geo Rug, with a beautiful seating collec-tion, colorful cushions and pillows, and you’ve got an outdoor area that makes everyone comfortable and happy.

Embrace the boldSome might be afraid to create a state-ment outside because — it’s outside. But an outdoor living space lends itself to adventures with color and pattern, providing the opportunity to be bold and to go beyond your comfort zone. When shopping for the outdoors, remember — anything goes.

Make it uniquely yoursMix and match with color and patterns, and personalize your space with accents such as outdoor artwork, planters, um-brellas and more. A smart combination of accessories really transforms an out-door space from simple to fabulous.

Be bright, all nightThe sun may still be shining when the guests arrive, but you’ll need something to light up the night and keep the party going all evening long. Create a delight-

ful, welcoming atmosphere with a vari-ety of outdoor lighting options, such as string lights, paper lanterns or floating LED candles placed around the patio. Fashion an elegant glow with lanterns in various sizes, such as the Scroll Trim Lanterns from Pier 1 Imports.

Serve in styleAl fresco entertaining always focuses on food, drinks and friends. A self-ser-vice food station or bar enhances the casual tone, freeing guests to grab re-freshments whenever they please. This also allows you, the host, to focus on the fun at hand. Look for serving and drink carts that maximize space, such as the Rania Serving Cart from Pier 1 Imports, which has three levels so there’s plenty of room to stash an ice bucket, drink dis-penser, snacks, lawn games and more.

So let the warmth of the season bring many memorable moments to your life and stylish elements into your outdoor spaces. For more great decorating ideas, visit www.pier1.com.

Outdoor-Friendly MaterialsHave you ever wondered how some products are suitable for the outdoors while others can only be kept inside? Various processes and materials give outdoor furniture and decor durability and weather-resistant appeal.

Synthetic FibersEver think about all the abuse from the elements outdoor pillows, seat cushions

and umbrellas suffer? Between the sun, rain and everything in-between, fabrics made for outdoor use are designed to withstand the elements, keeping your newly designed patio fresh for all the parties to come. Synthetic fibers used in these fabrics are designed to bead wa-ter, resist stains and maintain their col-or. With this in mind, you can lengthen the lifespan of such materials by cover-ing them when not in use and avoiding prolonged exposure to rain or sun.

Acrylics and MelamineOutdoor drinkware and dinnerware made of acrylic and melamine provide much of the same great style as their glass counterparts without the break-ability. A nice set of acrylic drinkware and melamine dinnerware, such as Summer Quench Turquoise Goblets and Trellis Dinnerware, both from Pier 1 Imports, will keep your outdoor soiree safe and fun throughout the evening.

Synthetic Rattan and WickerWicker may be the traditional mate-rial for outdoor furniture, but this new generation of synthetic wickers and rat-tans is not your grandmother’s porch furniture. All-weather chairs, tables and more are woven of synthetic rattan or wicker over durable, rust-resistant frames, making them durable and easy to clean. This approach offers the flex-ibility to incorporate a woven look into furniture of all styles — from traditional to global, modern to whimsical — with-out sacrificing durability and longevity.

With Family Pool FunFAMily FeAtures

Warmer weather brings leisurely days spent poolside with friends and family. As you get ready to dive in to another season of fun in the sun, remember that safety comes first.

With more than 10 million residential pools across America, the opportunities for water recreation right at home are plen-tiful. But so, too, are the chances of water-related mishaps.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, drowning is the fifth leading cause of unintentional injury death in the United States. Children are particularly at risk; one in five drowning victims is age 14 or younger. However, dedicating appropriate attention to your family pool’s maintenance and ensuring you have created an environment of safety will let you enjoy swimming and splashing with greater peace of mind.

“Pools are a great source of enjoyment for families, and with proper supervision and care, the entire family can confident-ly dive in to hours of fun,” said Joe DeFuria, Brand Manager of BioGuard. “Taking time early in the season to brush up on this important information will help keep everyone safe all summer long.”

The CDC cites “lack of swimming ability, lack of barriers to prevent unsupervised water access, lack of close supervision while swimming” as some of the leading risks associated with drowning. Preventive efforts such as learning to swim (or teaching swimming skills), ensuring at least one person with CPR training is present when the pool is in use and having proper safety devices (e.g., life vests and preservers) readily accessible help reduce injuries and accidents.

Put these measures in place so you can enjoy the fun at hand, without the worry:

1 Designate a “lifeguard.” Always pick at least one respon-sible adult to monitor children at all times.

2 Know CPR: Before investing in a pool, be sure to take a CPR class. The faster CPR can be administered to a per-

son in distress, the stronger the long-term outcome.

3 Keep your water clean: Pool safety also includes keeping the water clean and sanitary for your family. Invest in the

proper tools, such as the pool care systems from BioGuard, to keep your waters crystal clear.

4 Enroll kids in swimming lessons: Teach the skill of swim-ming to children at a young age. Enroll kids in classes to

learn the basics and avoid accidents.

5 Teach the parts of a pool: Show children where to locate the drains, pipes and other pool openings. Explain the im-

portance of avoiding these areas while swimming as they can cause harm.

6 Keep an eye in the sky: Storms can strike at any time in the summer. Be aware of the current weather and the

day’s forecast before you jump in for a swim.

7 Don’t rely on toys: Swimming noodles, inner-tubes and other inflatable pool toys do not take the place of a life

jacket.

8 Keep a phone close: Always keep a cell phone or portable phone with you while supervising kids in the pool.

9 Keep your pool tidy: Keeping your pool toys and other clutter picked up after use will not only help prevent trip-

and-fall accidents, it will also be less tempting for unwanted pool guests to engage in unsafe activities on your property.

10 Fence it up: Keep uninvited guests and potential ac-cidents away from your pool property by installing a

four-foot or taller fence along with a self-closing, self-latch-ing gate.

Pool Maintenance Essentials

Pool owners understand the importance of keeping it clean all season long. The experts at BioGuard provide these tips to keep your pool looking its best for family and guests:

• Make waves. Constant water movement helps prevent bacteria and algae from growing and ensures that the pool sanitizer is evenly distributed throughout the entire pool. Circu-lating pool water during the day for at least 12 hours also helps the filter catch debris.

• Check that filter. Backwash filters periodi-cally and chemically clean filters a minimum of twice a season.

• Scrub-a-dub. Brush and vacuum pool walls once a week, even if you use an automatic pool cleaner, or hire a service.

• Test the waters. Every pool needs to be tested for the correct pH and sanitizer levels every week. Have a thorough water analysis per-formed by a professional every month.

• Keep that water treatment going. The right water treatment plan will both maintain pool equipment and keep the water inviting. For instance, the SilkGuard Technology in Bio-Guard’s Silk sanitizer line makes pool water feel soft and smooth on skin while also pre-venting corrosion and protecting equipment.

Pool Care Doesn’t Get a VacationIf a getaway is on your agenda this summer, plan ahead to ensure your pool is as pristine and inviting when you return as the day you leave.

Work with a local pool care professional to create a vacation maintenance plan that matches your pool’s specific needs and takes into account how long you’ll be away.

Before you leave, clean the pool thoroughly, brushing and vacuuming walls and floors. Test the water and correct any imbalances. Set the timer or enlist the help of a trusted friend or neighbor to ensure the pump runs a minimum of eight hours each day while you’re gone.

Upon returning home, have a professional water analysis performed to ensure that your pool is properly balanced and ready for swim-ming.

Saltwater PoolsAre Making Waves

Did you know saltwater pools are the hottest trend in new pool construction? According to an article from Pool and Spa News, today there are about 1.35 million saltwater pools in the United States.

What’s the difference between chlorine and saltwater? While both pool types clean the water with chlorine, saltwater pools also require a salt generator cell and a stabilizer to keep waters properly sanitized.

Why do customers choose saltwater over chlorine pools? Some feel saltwater is less harsh on the skin and eyes than traditional chlorine pools. However, saltwater pools require additional maintenance to avoid corrosion and to ensure chemical levels are in balance. n

5Simple Tips to Enhance Your Home’s Personality

Your home can say a lot about you. A state-of-the-art kitchen outfitted with a double oven likely means you enjoy cooking and entertaining friends and family. Likewise, a backyard complete with play sets, a treehouse or a basketball hoop is a sure sign your house is also a hangout for the neighborhood kids.

“My house is more than just a haven for my family. It’s a real life scrapbook, art gallery and personal sanctuary,” said Michelle Hinkley, mom to three young boys and the lady behind the home and lifestyle blog www.4men1lady.com. “As much as I want it to be functional, I enjoy spending a little extra time finding ways to keep our home uniquely us.”

If you’re thinking about ways to add some personality to your space, consider these five simple (and wallet-friendly) improve-ments:

1 Paint your front door.First impressions start at the

front door. Consider your home’s exterior and outdoor surroundings as you’re selecting a new hue, but when narrowing down your paint palette, also focus on the tints that best reflect your family’s vibe.

A bright green door is both welcoming and fun, while a shiny black finish adds glamour. Even a crisp, white hue can be any-thing but boring, offering a clean backdrop for potted plants and accessories that change with each season.

2 Replace a fixture.If cooking is integral to your

personality, consider updating one of your kitchen’s most frequently used appliances: the faucet. Today’s kitchen faucets come equipped with a variety of features and make for a relatively simple DIY project.

The Delta Trinsic kitchen faucet, for example, features a magnetic pull-down wand that locks the spray head in place when it’s not in use and optional Touch2O Tech-nology, which allows users to turn water on or off with a simple tap. Like any good accessory, choose a finish that complements your per-sonality and room, from the warm and inviting tones of Champagne Bronze to always in-style chrome.

3 Install new hardwareSmall details can make a big

impact. Customize furniture, clos-ets or built-ins with stylish drawer

pulls. Styles range from the whimsical, hand-painted options available at craft fairs to more substantive handles and pulls available at your local hardware store. Take your time selecting pieces you love for a look that’s both unique and functional.

4 Start a collectionShowcase your personality by

decorating your space with small items or collectables. A collec-tion of sea glass bottles or vases, for instance, could pay tribute to a favorite vacation spot, while ceramic animals in bright colors show off your quirky and creative side. To create a cohesive focal

point, focus on collecting items similar in colors, materials or textures.

5 Build or craft somethingIf you’re really daring, try

creating some inexpensive home decor for your space. Sites like Pinterest.com are great resources for compiling inspiration; many blogs also offer step-by-step guides for a variety of projects for the home. Whether you’re creating a one-of-a-kind piece of art or building a coffee table from scratch, your next project could be a fun opportunity to help truly customize your home.

5Ways to Createa SaferBathroom

According to the National Safety Council, approximately 70 percent of all accidents occurring in the home happen in the bathroom — accounting for nearly 200,000 accidents each year. While it’s difficult to eliminate risks entirely, you can make your bathroom safer for the whole family by following a few simple steps:

• Choose a textured floor. The splish and splash of taking a bath often leads to slippery surfaces. When choosing flooring for a bathroom, avoid slick surfaces like porcelain and granite, and look for textured choices with better traction. If ceramic is a must, look for certified slip-resistant options. When in doubt, opt for smaller bathroom tiles. The more grout lines, the more resistance your flooring will offer.

• Make it level. You don’t need a large, walk-in shower to get one with a low threshold. As trips can be as dangerous as slips, look for a safe shower pan that is level with the floor, making it easy to step inside.

• Get a grip. Installing grab bars in the shower and next to the tub is a good idea for everyone, but it’s especially important for those looking to stay in their home as they age. Some products, such as the new Decor Assist accessories and Decorative ADA-compliant

Grab Bars from Delta, exceed ADA load requirements and come in a variety of designs and finishes to coordinate with any aesthetic.

• Keep kids in mind. Locks for every style of cabinet or drawer are readily available at local hardware stores. If you have small children (or if they visit), remember to lock away medications, small electrical appliances and cleaning supplies. Above all, never leave children unattended in the bath or shower.

• Don’t get burned. Water heater thermostats can be preset up to 140 degrees, a temperature that can easily burn sensitive skin. Reduce the risk of burns by setting your water heater to 120 degrees. For added peace of mind, install a shower system that provides a digital temperature read out. Some shower heads and hand showers, such as the new options from Delta Faucet with Temp2O Technology, indicate the temperature of the water via an LED color indicator, as well as a digital numerical readout, and can be installed within minutes.

No matter what age or stage of life, mishaps can happen to anyone and making a few simple adjustments could make all of the difference for your family’s safety in the bathroom. To learn more about home safety, visit www.NSC.org.
