Archived Newsflash emails can be read at: https://mthollynewsflash.blogspot.com Hi there, My mom (cc'd) and I have some furniture that we'd like to give away to anyone that may want/need it. We have a cabin on Lake Ninevah where these pieces are currently and I can share directions/the address. We have two sets of twin bunks beds and mattresses in great condition. They were very lightly used for 4-ish weeks a summer. We also have four dressers of varying sizes and conditions, and an outdoor grill. I have dimensions and pictures (attached) of the pieces (excluding one of the dressers). Can you please let me know if you need anything else from me in order to share this with the listserv for pick up? We'd need them picked up any time on Thursday 8/19 or on Friday 8/20 before 12pm. If you have any questions please feel free to email either of us, or call us. We'll be in cell phone service for most of the day today and tomorrow.

Tomatoes and peppers are really sub-tropical plants and don't know that winter is coming so they are still trying to grow as though they have many months ahead.  We know better and there are several things we can do right now to get the most out of this year's growing season for tomatoes and other gardening investments.  Despite the calendar and shorter day lengths, there are still things to be planted for a fresh fall - early winter harvest.  Late summer pests & diseases are appearing too so let's be alert.   Read the full article at Vermont Home Gardener

I would like to please ask for your help in posting a news flash in regards to our missing family dog Bodi. He's a 4 year old black Labrador mix and unfortunately he's not wearing any identification. He's very friendly and it's unusual that he stranded far from his owner Barry Gagner. He was last seen on Maple Hill Road at around 2pm today Saturday August 14th. If anyone with any information could please reach out, our number is (802) 259-2055. I wanted to follow up with an update  - we're offering a $500 reward for finding Bodi.
