Mattei states, “My first priority in my campaign is to listen to the people of the district and be a visible community presence for them to talk with.” Mattei goes on to explain that the essence of being an effective State Representative is to listen to the constituents, hear what they have to say, process all of that information along with research so that his policy and vote reflect his districts needs and priorities.
He wants his Town Hall Meetings to be informal where the exchange of conversation is productive and friendly.

POLOKWANE, South Africa, (UPI) -- A worker at a South African animal sanctuary shared video of a snuggle-minded baby rhinoceros using her as a pillow during cuddle time. Laura Ellison posted a video to Instagram showing the special bond she formed with Kabelo, an orphaned rhinocerous being raised at The Rhino Orphanage sanctuary in Limpopo Province.
The video shows the young rhinoceros cuddling with the woman as she spreads out on the ground. "Really, I'm just his pillow," Ellison wrote. "While I want you all to experience the gentleness of rhinos, to fall in love with them as I have and inspire the same desperation I have to save them, I must stress the relationship I have with our rhinos that allow these experiences. I have been with Kabelo since his arrival to the orphanage and we have developed such a strong bond. While Kabelo is so comfortable with me, he is not with many others. Please appreciate that he is still a wild animal.. But also with the capacity to love so forgivingly. Humans took his mother and for him to trust me the way he does is incredibly bittersweet. Rhinos deserve a life with their mothers without human interference. Please help me fight to secure it. #saveourrhinos"
Gardening...Steps to a Stunning Summer Yard
(BPT) - Summer's arrival brings longer days and more sunshine. This season also means more of your favorite outdoor activities, such as relaxing in the backyard or working in the garden. In fact, there is no better time to refresh your outdoor space. "The secret to a well-manicured yard is preparation," says Chris Lambton, yard and garden expert for Fiskars. "Once the weather warms up, your lawn and garden will need a little extra TLC to be ready for outdoor activities or entertaining. Having the right tools on-hand is essential to making the process simple and enjoyable."
Lambton offers his tips and tools for making your yard beautiful and easy to care for all season long: Prune strategically If you turn your back for too long, Mother Nature can take over your yard in the spring growing season. Trim and shape your plants by cutting 1/4 inch above a growth bud at a 45 degree angle to promote healthy growth. High-quality garden tools, like the Fiskars PowerGear2 Pruner or Lopper, make taming shrubs and cutting through dead or overgrown limbs easier. Plan your planting Summer is a great time to plan your outdoor space and give it a fresh new look. When plotting out your yard or garden, be sure to leave extra space around plants to account for their growth or plant in containers to easily move them around, if needed. Raised garden beds for herbs and veggies are great for keeping plants in order and allow you to plant, water and harvest more easily. Choose tools to help with planting that are easy to grip and will stand up throughout the season, like the Fiskars Big Grip Trowel or Transplanter. Mulch carefully Shallow layers of mulch work to keep your soil cool, cut down on weeds and slow the loss of moisture. But be careful not to mulch too deeply, as too much mulch can inhibit oxygen from reaching plant roots and encourage mold. As a rule of thumb, mulch only two to three inches on top of the soil. Water wisely A healthy lawn and garden will have deep roots that can tap reserves of moisture way down in the soil. Water deeply - but not too often - and you'll encourage plants to develop even deeper roots. The best time to water is between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. when the air is cooler and there is less risk of evaporation from heat and wind. Use tools that are easy to maneuver and durable to stand up to the elements season after season, like the Gilmour Flexogen Hose and Thumb Control Watering Nozzle. Enjoy the fruits of your labor Remember to spend time outside in your yard and garden when the weather is nice and enjoy the fresh fruits and vegetables you grow. Use Herb and Veggie Shears to make healthy cuts on your plants so you have fresh and delicious produce throughout the season. With the right tools, yard and garden work is fun, not frustrating. Use these tips to keep your yard maintained and beautiful so you can enjoy it all summer long.
Real Estate...Home Improvements that Payback
(BPT) - Homeowners are looking for value in every home improvement project they take on - whether they are upgrading for resale or their own pride of ownership. With new technologies and products on the market, it is easier than ever to add value to your home with projects that ultimately pay you back in numerous ways.Luxurious looks that are affordable
Technology in home improvements has enabled homeowners to create a luxurious exterior that also saves money and recoups their investment. This includes contemporary trends of mixed materials, colors and textures, combining the look of rich, wood-stain shake or even stone in a variety of styles and patterns for foundation cladding or deck skirting. Polymers can actually be stained or finished to look like the real thing. "We have come light years in achieving rich shake and stone looks for any home that won't break the bank," says Ralph Bruno, president of Novik Sales Corp. "There are solutions available that actually install as easy or easier than typical siding, with low-maintenance and high moisture resistance, so ground contact is no problem." The payback: years of savings on maintenance and rich looks that increase home values. Reducing labor, adding beauty to decks The concept of the outdoor room tops many homeowners' lists. One way to make any type of wood, composite or PVC deck project faster, easier and more beautiful, is to find a system that gives the impression of indoor flooring with a fastener-free look. This is also a safety issue, since raised fasteners can harm bare feet and get hot in the sun. There are several categories of concealed fasteners on the market, with some next-gen systems that save time and labor with more speed and stability. "Fastening deck boards on the edge with a series of proprietary fasteners, guides and drill bits represents the latest deck technology," says Chip Manger, vice president at Camo Edge Fastening. "It saves up to 25 percent on installation time and up to 50 percent on costs compared to clips and is very simple to use." The payback: big savings on deck installation costs, better aesthetics and years of longevity. Guarding against weather and energy loss Homeowners often have no idea how much damage can arise from moisture getting into the home or the inflated cost of utility bills through energy loss. A yearly audit of windows, doors and jambs, receptacles, roof/gutter lines and other vulnerable areas can protect your home from expensive future repairs. The simple act of sealing these areas with the right caulk can make a huge impact. "There are quality long-life sealants that adhere to a variety of surfaces with excellent adhesion and joint expansion to keep moisture out and prevent heating and cooling energy loss," says Alan Crupper, vice president of marketing for Red Devil, Inc. "One example is Stormguard-920, a new 100 percent silicon sealant with a quick-forming permanent seal that can be exposed to the elements like rain after just 30 minutes." The payback: weatherizing your home from the elements and energy loss. Standing water threatens property and health The possibility of water seeping into the home is usually enough to scare any homeowner into action, but these days the Zika virus and other insect-borne diseases are driving solutions for removing standing water. In anticipation, the Wall Street Journal reports insect repellent production is expected to triple this year. Homeowners may think water transfer systems are cost prohibitive and difficult to operate, so they wait until it is too late. There are new affordable advancements that can remove water in tight spaces like window wells or wide open grassy areas where insects breed. "Look for water removal pumps with attachments on the top and side, so they fit anywhere," says Jeremy Cantor, vice president of marketing for WAYNE Pumps. As an example he said, "We designed one such pump called the WWB WaterBUG to be versatile and portable enough to remove any standing water on the homeowner's property quickly and efficiently." The payback: protecting the home from seeping standing water and keeping homeowners safe. Make the right choices on today's advanced home improvement products and systems and you can have a huge payback on your investment and make a lasting impression.

Fungi, a Force in the Ecosystem
Saturday, June 25, 9:00 AM-1:00 PM
Please join mycologists Dr. Rick Bortnick and Laura Weishaupt at Jacobsburg for a relaxed and informative look at fungi and their vital roles in the ecosystem.

An indoor slide show will provide an introduction to different kinds of fungi and explain what they do in the forest. Then we'll head outside to see it all in action. We'll have lunch and wrap up with some discussion about books and answer any questions.
This program is not about foraging for edibles. Bring a hand lens if you have one. Bring some lunch and prepare to be outdoors with adequate footwear, clothing, and bug repellant. Registration is required.

Ask The Doc........
Technology can be wonderful!
by Dr. Gary Williams, DMD

I know sometimes new technologies can be frustrating and leave us questioning whether “progress” is worth the hassle. But, that is not the case with intra-oral digital scanners. We have been using our digital scanner at Family Dental Care now for 3 months, and the results are amazing.
Sure, it’s pretty “cool” technology, and it has been totally comfortable for patients. No gagging going on! And the turn around time is much shorter. All of these are pluses, but here is the real benefit… the accuracy and fit of what we are making.
I can comfortably predict a great fit of your new crowns, splints, Invisalign aligners, retainers, and anything else we scan for. That makes it worthwhile.
It’s one thing to restore your mouth to health, but I want, you want, and you deserve to rest assured that what is placed in your mouth is the best possible fit known to dentistry.
Digital scanning is here to stay at Family Dental Care. Feel free to ask us about our scanner. Garywilliamsdmd.com.
