Keeping Spiders Out
Spiders are a part of life, and can even be a beneficial form of pest control in your garden. However, they are most often an unwelcome guest in your home.
Getting rid of spiders entirely may not be realistic (or ideal), but you can greatly minimize their populations in your home by making it a little less inviting for them. Instead of using chemicals, try any of these natural and safe — yet effective — methods of keeping these critters outside where they belong! Natural ways to keep spiders out of your house:

THIS DAY IN HISTORY - July 5
Bikini introduced 1946
On July 5, 1946, French designer Louis Reard unveils a daring two-piece swimsuit at the Piscine Molitor, a popular swimming pool in Paris. Parisian showgirl Micheline Bernardini modeled the new fashion, which Reard dubbed “bikini,” inspired by a news-making U.S. atomic test that took place off the Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Ocean earlier that week.
European women first began wearing two-piece bathing suits that consisted of a halter top and shorts in the 1930s, but only a sliver of the midriff was revealed and the navel was vigilantly covered. In the United States, the modest two-piece made its appearance during World War II, when wartime rationing of fabric saw the removal of the skirt panel and other superfluous material. Meanwhile, in Europe, fortified coastlines and Allied invasions curtailed beach life during the war, and swimsuit development, like everything else non-military, came to a standstill.
In 1946, Western Europeans joyously greeted the first war-free summer in years, and French designers came up with fashions to match the liberated mood of the people. Two French designers, Jacques Heim and Louis Reard, developed competing prototypes of the bikini. Heim called his the “atom” and advertised it as “the world’s smallest bathing suit.” Reard’s swimsuit, which was basically a bra top and two inverted triangles of cloth connected by string, was in fact significantly smaller. Made out of a scant 30 inches of fabric, Reard promoted his creation as “smaller than the world’s smallest bathing suit.” Reard called his creation the bikini, named after the Bikini Atoll.

Clean Fill Environmental Hearing
Pen Argyl, PA – State Senator Mario Scavello will host an upcoming public hearing with the Senate Majority Policy Committee to discuss the Commonwealth’s clean fill and regulated fill standards.
The hearing will take place on Monday, July 9 at 10:00 a.m. at Wind Gap Middle School (1620 Teels Road, Wind Gap, PA). Members of the public are welcome to attend.
Due to its close proximity to New York and New Jersey, Pennsylvania’s northeast region receives a high volume of out-of-state fill material. In particular, clean fill is being disposed of in the Slate Belt region of Northampton County in abandoned slate quarries. Fill material contains various levels of allowed contaminants and is classified either as “clean” or, where higher levels of contaminants exist, “regulated.”
According to the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), clean fill includes soil, rock, stone, dredged material, used asphalt and brick, block or concrete from construction and demolition activities.
As dumping activities have increased in the region, so have concerns over the environmental impact to these sites and surrounding areas.
“Many residents and elected officials in my Senate District have raised concerns over the dumping of out-of-state fill material in our region,” said Senator Scavello. “I share the same concerns over the sheer volume of fill activity occurring in my district and its potential environmental impact, so I requested this hearing to fully evaluate the Commonwealth’s environmental standards and ensure our residents are protected.”
The hearing will review concerns and testimony from the PA DEP, local municipal leaders, area residents, business leaders and industry representatives. Individuals from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection are also invited.
For further information, please visit www.senatorscavello.com or contact the Senator’s district office at 570-620-4326
