Barnesville Hospital is sponsoring a mercury thermometer exchange on Fri., May 24th from 7 am –noon in the hospital lobby. A free digital thermometer will be provided for every mercury thermometer which is brought in. Funding for this event is provided through the Ohio Environmental Education Fund Grant.
Mercury is toxic and can negatively impact people, especially children, and wildlife when released into the environment. Mercury can be absorbed through the skin, inhaled or ingested. Mercury metal is a liquid at room temperature and readily turns into vapor in the air. Children and fetuses are at the greatest risk for health problems due to mercury since their nervous system is still developing.
“Barnesville Hospital’s Green Team has been instrumental in exploring ways to recycle materials at the hospital and has also been active in pursuing opportunities to keep our community safe,” said Michael Carpenter, Facilities Director. “Each year the hospital recycles over 33 tons of solids and over 1000 lbs. of hazardous waste. The Mercury Thermometer Exchange is one additional way we can benefit our community.”

For the 19th consecutive year, local McDonald’s restaurants are offering MAC Grants to help area middle school teachers Make Activities Count for their students.
McDonald’s recognizes that lessons often become more meaningful when demonstrated with hands-on experiences. The MAC Grants program provides financial support so teachers can supplement regular classroom curriculums with activities that the school’s budget may not allow, especially during these hard economic times. Since the program’s inception, McDonald’s restaurants have awarded more than a million dollars to local teachers to support hands-on learning activities in their classrooms.
Fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grade teachers may apply for grants of up to $500 for interesting and educational projects. Teachers can use grant money for funding their creative learning ideas such as energize a science lesson by building robots to test the earth’s soil, construct greenhouses to learn about the life cycle of indigenous plants or solve mysteries in their very own crime lab. Because McDonald's is soliciting ideas from teachers, project ideas are limitless. Applications are available at HYPERLINK "http://www.mcdtoday.com/mac.php" http://www.mcdtoday.com/mac.php
“The MAC Grants program demonstrates McDonald’s commitment to excellence in education and active support in the community,” explained Rick Rehak, McDonald’s Regional Marketing Director. “MAC Grants allow teachers to revitalize their classes with fresh and innovative teaching methods.”
Completed applications must be submitted by August 2, 2013. A limited number of grant recipients will be chosen on or before September 15, 2013.

The Woodsfield Garden Club held their monthly meeting on May 9, 2013 at the home of Cathy Black, Lewisville Road, Woodsfield. Cathy Black was the hostess and served the refreshments to members. Prior to the meeting members showed up to pot, water, clean and tag plants in preparation for the Annual Plant and Garden Décor Sale to be held this Saturday, May 18, 2013 from 9-3 in the former Mor-for-Less Parking Lot across from Pat’s Gift Shop. There will be plants, herbs, garden signs (priced from $6 to $9), spoon plant markers and garden starter baskets. Everything is bargain priced to sell. All the proceeds will go to the beautification of the Woodsfield town square so it is a win-win situation for everyone.
Also discussed at the meeting, was the upcoming Garden Tour. The tour will begin at the Parry Museum and Community Gardens. Tickets are $7.00 the day of the tour, but pre-sale tickets will be available at the Plant Sale for only $5.00.
The next scheduled meeting for the garden club will be June 20, 2013. Anyone interested in the upcoming Plant Sale, Garden Tour, or joining the garden club can contact any member or Yvonne Reusser, President.
