Russell building community through Little Free Library
Jacqueline Russell believes in the importance of being a good neighbor. But she hasn't been pleased with some of the discussions that have taken place throughout the country in recent years concerning whether some books should be banned. So Russell has addressed both points by establishing a Little Free Library in the corner of her front yard near the intersection of Booth and Windsor avenues in Owensboro. 'I'd seen them in other communities — there are a couple actually in Owensboro other than mine — and at a time when so many people are like, 'We're banning books,' I'm like, 'No, we're sharing books,' ' she said. 'I think the more we can share ideas, the better we are as a community. There is stuff for kids and there is stuff for adults, and anybody can take stuff and leave stuff. 'It's just sharing. To me its about building community. Just trying to be a good neighbor.' Russell said she started the library with books she bought or thrifted, trying to find titles 'I know have been popular.' But that stock has quickly turned over. 'It's been out here for about three weeks, and a lot of the ones that I initially put in there are gone and people have restocked it,' she said. 'It's really cool. I don't sit and watch it, so I don't know when people are coming by necessarily, but every time I check on it every couple of days there is something new. They're moving.' The library box, which has its own walkway from the street and small light, is hard to miss, with it being a repurposed newspaper machine painted pink with large white polka dots. 'There's a website where you can order a cabinet, and I had actually thrifted a cabinet and I was going to use it, but I was going to have to weather-proof it,' she said. 'But I saw one on Instagram that was a repurposed newspaper box, and I was like, 'Well I know people at the newspaper.' I was like, 'I'll come pick it up, I'd love to repurpose one.' '(Messenger-Inquirer Circulation Director) Barry Carden was just like, 'Yeah, we'll hook you up.' They gave it to me and dropped it off. But it got a whole paint job.' Russell said it has already been successful building community. 'The first day I was putting it out I had neighbors that came by and were like, 'What do you have going on?' I told them, and they said they had so many books and said, 'We'll help keep it stocked,' ' she said. 'It's been really neat to kind of get to know more people around us that have wanted to help with it. 'There are two other houses around that I know they've both brought books by.' Russell has registered her box with the Little Free Library to obtain a charter number, which has placed it on the organization's national map, which can be found at She also expects to add a stamp to the books that says 'Little Free Library: Always a gift, never for sale.' 'That's so if people were to take them to try and sell to a shop that buys books, they know they're not supposed to be sold,' she said. 'And I think it's a neat thing to be able to take one and put it on the bookshelf and keep it, and then two years later when I'm like, 'Where did I get that?' it's neat to be able to see where it was picked up.' In addition to books, the box contains pencils, bookmarks, erasers, stickers and a notepad to enter book requests. She also anticipates adding a free food stand next to it later in the summer. 'As the garden grows, we can put extra things out,' she said, 'like if I have a million tomatoes.' Russell also plans to soon add a geocache to the top of the box. 'It's just as a way to get more traffic to it, she said. 'There's going to be a hint on the geocaching web page to figure out the (lock) combination. 'I thought it would be cool to add, and they may grab a book.'

Tackling global warming is key to keeping Dartmoor ‘special', says William
Restoring nature and tackling global warming are key to keeping Dartmoor 'special', the Prince of Wales has said ahead of his visit to the area. The Duchy of Cornwall and Central Dartmoor Landscape Recovery Project (CDLR) launched a new project to 'create a resilient environment' and meet the changing needs of Dartmoor's communities. William, the Duke of Cornwall, is visiting restored peatland there on Thursday as part of the 20-year plan for the duchy's Dartmoor estate. In a foreword to the Landscape Vision project, the Prince of Wales said: 'Dartmoor is a magnificent and complex ecosystem – the balance between nature and people has evolved for thousands of years to shape the landscape we recognise today. 'To keep Dartmoor special, we must respond to the twin challenges of global warming and the requirement to restore nature, while ensuring the communities on Dartmoor can thrive. 'The Dartmoor Vision shows us what might be possible and how that might be achieved. 'It is bold and ambitious and something that I hope, by working together, can be delivered for not just the current generation but for generations to come.' Researchers found the average number of frost days in Dartmoor is expected to halve over the next 40 years while the odds of a dry summer will rise by 30%, the Duchy of Cornwall said. It added that 2C of global warming could prevent Dartmoor being suitable for blanket peatland, which stores carbon and water and sustains biodiversity. The project will focus on 'coordinated public and private investment' to restore peatlands and upland mosaic habitats in the south Devon area. It is also seeking to create 'partnerships between landowners, farmers and wildlife teams' and foster 'collaboration and mutual respect in what has historically been a contested landscape'. The duchy said it will promote sustainable farming as well as initiatives to provide affordable housing for landscape managers and retiring workers. Around 35,000 people live in Dartmoor and more than two million people visit each year. Claire Hyne, project manager at CDLR, said: 'The Central Dartmoor Landscape Recovery Project plans to continue to work alongside the duchy, farmers and commoners to co-create integrated land management plans whilst identifying opportunities for green finance and funding to help sustain farm businesses, test new ideas and deliver positive environmental outcomes.' Matthew Morris, rural director at the Duchy of Cornwall, said they want to set up a 'shared and multifunctional approach to the way the land is farmed, managed, and used, and in doing so create a more resilient Dartmoor environment'. Mr Morris added: 'With the Dartmoor landscape increasingly vulnerable to climate change, the need to build resilience is clearer than ever.'

Salmonella recall of 20 million eggs from Walmart, Safeway, Ralphs, among others
Another salmonella outbreak caused the recall of 1.7 million dozen eggs — meaning roughly more than 20 million less eggs to fry — and has sickened people in seven states. The aforementioned eggs were distributed to Walmart, Safeway, chains owned by Kroger and various other independent and chain supermarkets. Hilmar, California's August Egg Company, a division of Gemperle Enterprises, produced the eggs and issued the recall Friday. 'August Egg Company is not selling fresh shell eggs at this time,' the company-written, FDA-posted recall notice said. 'Our firm has voluntarily been diverting eggs to an egg-breaking plant for over 30 days, which pasteurizes the eggs and kills any potential foodborne pathogens.' READ MORE: Public health alert: Deadly E. coli found in beef sent to Whole Foods stores Packaging for the recalled eggs will have plant code P-6562 or CA5330 with the Julian Dates between 32 to 126. The eggs that went to Walmart stores had sell by dates from March 4 through June 19. Other retailers got eggs with 'sell by dates' from March 4 through June 4. August Egg says these eggs went to stores in California, Washington, Illinois, Nevada, Arizona, Wyoming, New Mexico, Nebraska, and Indiana. The recall section of Walmart's website says this also involves its stores in Alaska, Colorado, Hawaii, Iowa, Idaho, Kansas, Michigan, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas and Wisconsin. ▪ Marketside (a Walmart store brand): Organic Large Cage Free Brown Eggs in cartons of 12 and 18; Large Cage Free Brown Eggs in cartons of 12 and 18. ▪ First Street (a Smart & Final house brand): Cage Free Large Brown loose eggs. ▪ Clover: Organic Large Brown Eggs, one dozen. ▪ Nulaid: One dozen Medium Brown Cage Free, one dozen Jumbo Brown Cage Free. ▪ O Organics: Cage Free Large Brown, six eggs; and Large Brown, 12 and 18 eggs. This brand will be found at Safeway and other Albertson's-owned stores. ▪ Raley's (store brand): Large Cage Free Brown, 12 eggs: Organic Large Cage Free Brown, 12 and 18 eggs. ▪ Simple Truth: Cage Free Large Brown and Medium Brown 18 eggs. This brand will be found at Food 4 Less, Ralphs and other Kroger-owned chains. ▪ Sun Harvest: Organic Large Cage Free Brown Eggs in cartons of 12 and 18. ▪ Sunnyside: Organic Large Cage Free Brown Eggs in cartons of 12 and 18; and Large Cage Free Brown Eggs in cartons of 12 and 18. Saturday's outbreak update from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says 79 people have been sickened in this outbreak with 21 hospitalizations. Of those 79, 63 are in California. The remaining 16 break down as Nevada and Washington (four each); Arizona, three; Nebraska and New Jersey (two each); and Kentucky, one. Salmonella outbreaks tend to be very undercounted because most people recover without medical attention. The CDC estimates about 1.35 million people in the United States will get salmonella each year. Of that number, 26,400 will be hospitalized, usually driven to the hospital by bloody diarrhea, and 420 will die. Usually, salmonella just means a few days of diarrhea, vomiting, fever and stomachaches. If you have any of the recalled eggs listed above, return them to the store for a refund or throw them deep into the garbage. If you have any questions about the recalls, call August Farms at 800-710-2554, noon to 8 p.m., Eastern time.
