Vertigo Theatre Presents:

SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE CASE OF JERSEY LILY

May 12 to Jun 12

Threatened with blackmail over private correspondence with the

famed detective Sherlock Holmes to get her letters back. With the

nation’s most precious jewels and the reputation of the monarchy

at stake, Holmes must engage in a battle of wits with a former

nemesis, Professor Moriarty, to solve the case. And when Oscar

Wilde himself enters the scene, sparkling repartee abounds.

Spring Cleaning Green Tips » Avoid cleaners containing phosphates. When they get into rivers and lakes they cause

algae blooms, robbing the water of oxygen, blocking sunlight and ultimately killing

aquatic life;

» Use reusable cloths. Instead of throwing away one-use items like paper towels and mop

pads, use old t-shirts and other rags that you can wash and use again;

» Minimize use of bleaches. The most common bleach is chlorine, which in wastewater

can create toxic compounds. Non-chlorine bleaches are gentler to clothes and the

environment, though they are less effective in colder-water temperatures requiring

more energy-intensive hot water;

» Buy concentrates. Ask manufacturers to produce refillable versions that allow you to

refill a spray bottle by adding water to a packaged concentrate;

» Make sure containers are kept dry to prevent corrosion. If a container begins to corrode,

place it in a plastic bucket with a lid and clearly label it.

DIY Green Cleaners » Drain Cleaner: Pour a half-cup of baking soda down the sink and add at least a cup of

vinegar. Cover the drain and wait a few minutes, then rinse with a mixture of boiling

water and salt;

» Window Cleaner: Mix two ounces of vinegar with a quart of water in a spray bottle;

» Silver Polish: Put a sheet of aluminum foil into a plastic or glass bowl. Sprinkle the foil

with salt and baking soda and fill the bowl with warm water. Soak your silver in the bowl

and tarnish migrates to the foil. Dry and buff;

» Brass Cleaner: Cut a lemon in half, sprinkle it with salt and rub the lemon on the metal.

Buff with a cloth;

» Rust Remover: Use vinegar to remove rust on nuts and bolts and other mineral deposits

such as calcium deposits.

Spring Safety TipsGot the itch to get outside? We don’t blame you. After a long winter of being indoors, we’re all

anxious to get outside and to get working on our spring cleaning and home to do list. As you

prepare for the spring and summer months ahead, we put together this handy checklist for

you to easily reference to ensure you have a safe and secure home.

The change of season is always a good reminder to do some periodical checkups on your

home.

» Check all your smoke detectors for low batteries. They are no good if they don’t go off;

PALLISER NEWS

ASPEN TOOLS

» Sign up for a P.O. box and send important mail there to prevent identity theft;

» Make sure all your door locks are working and install deadbolts on all doors with outside

access;

» Install motion sensitive outdoor lights. Not only they make for a safer home but they also

deter criminals;

» Trim your shrubs around the home where burglars could hide;

» Go through old files. Shred unnecessary paperwork and file away important documents

in a fireproof safe;

» Install a home security system;  this is the single most important thing you can do to

secure your house from fire, flooding and crime.
