Fabulous Friday Books sale Article Provided By: Jean Gordon Rutherford Housing Partnership and participants from Garner-Webb University's program,"The Honor's Experience," came out in force to help a family in Rutherfordton refresh their home. By painting the house, volunteers also help extend the life of the wood siding because the paint protects against weathering and water absorption. As part of the project, volunteers painted all the trim and exterior walls. When the work was completed, the homeowners were delighted with the new, fresh look a little bit of paint could provide.

Did you know that your lawn mower is one of the most dangerous tools around your home, and more than 16,000 children and teens are hurt each year while using a lawn mower? Power mowers can be especially dangerous to children; however, most lawn mower-related injuries can be prevented by following simple safety guidelines. Many parents often ask, "When is my child old enough to mow the lawn?". In general, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that a child should be at least 12 years of age to operate a walk-behind power mower or hand mower safely, and 16 years of age to operate a riding lawn mower safely. Also, your child should show the maturity, good judgement, strength and coordination the job requires. While mowing: • Do not allow children to ride as passengers when cutting the grass. • Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes, fi tted clothing, safety glasses, and hearing protection. • Supervise children when mowing and while putting gas in the engine. Small children should not be playing in the yard while a lawn mower is being used. • Watch for objects that could be picked up and thrown by the mower blades. • Avoid mowing in reverse or backwards unless necessary. Lawn mower injuries are often extremely traumatic, and can include severe eye injury, amputation or death. For more safety tips, visit healthychildren.org.
