Town of Easton is undertaking a crucial public safety & public works facilities replacement project to enhance essential services for our community. The project involves constructing a new combined DPW facility, police and fire headquarters, and fire substation,
consolidating multiple outdated buildings. With facilities ranging from 50-70+ years old, these structures no longer meet various health, safety, and environmental codes, and are beyond their useful lives.

With recent news that West Nile Virus (WNV) has been detected in mosquitoes collected from Easton, here are some easy, pesticide-free tips from the Green Communities Committee to keep mosquitoes from breeding on your property.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2">
<span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk59647659"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk48889633"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk45262650"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk41375746"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk56756075">Remove standing water that collects after it rains or after
watering the lawn. Empty pots or planters, children's play toys, old tires, and trash containers. Mosquito larvae can hatch in only 1" of water, so make it a habit to walk your property at least weekly to check for standing water. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2">
<span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk59647659"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk48889633"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk45262650"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk41375746"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk56756075">Keep your lawn free of debris such as hollow logs, piles
of leaves, etc, in which female mosquitoes can find a damp spot to lay eggs. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2">
<span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk59647659"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk48889633"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk45262650"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk41375746"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk56756075">Empty and refill your bird baths or kiddie pools every few
days. Laid eggs need 8-10 days to hatch and become a flying insect. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2">
<span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk59647659"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk48889633"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk45262650"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk41375746"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk56756075">Install a small fountain inside a bird bath or fish pond
to reduce stagnation. Mosquitoes will not lay eggs in moving water. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2">

lavender, marigold, and citronella. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2">

pools of water to safely kill mosquito larvae. (Do not do this in birdbaths or ponds with fish or other living creatures.)<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></span></li></ol>

HCS has developed a new program that we are really excited about called the Friendly Caller Program. The purpose of this program is to spread positivity and prevent social isolation. This will be especially important this holiday season! Those signed up will
receive a weekly call from one of our volunteers, where you can share stories or experiences, chat about current events, or just make small talk. This is also a great way to get to know some fellow seniors in town. If you are interested in enrolling to receive
calls, please call Frothingham Hall at 508-230-0690.<br>
