CYCLISTS PEDAL INTO UTAH COUNTY AGAIN TO HELP
HABITAT
Cyclists from all around the country will once again be pedaling
into Provo on Tuesday, July 21, 2015, to help Habitat for Humanity of Utah County with some neighbor-
hood beautification activities. The riders will be installing a fence at Habitat’s George Taylor, Jr. home
and painting the home across the street for an elderly neighbor on Wednesday, July 22, 2015 in Provo.
The SC2SC cyclists are part of the national Bike & Build program and are riding their bikes across the
country to raise funding and awareness to end poverty housing. The 32 young adults started their long
journey in Charleston, South Carolina in May and will log over 4,000 miles before they reach their desti-
nation of Santa Cruz, California in mid- August. They will be staying at the Provo Seventh Day Adventist
Church’s Community Center while in Utah County.
HABITAT TO CELEBRATE SUCCESSFUL YEAR AT ANNUAL MEETING
Habitat for Humanity of Utah County will celebrate another successful year at its Annual Meeting on
Wednesday, July 15, 2015, at 6:30 p.m. at Magleby Construction at 1291 West Center Street, Lindon.
In addition to highlighting this year’s successes, the local Habitat affiliate will also be installing new
Board officers and presenting its 2014-2015 annual report. All interested community members are in-
vited to attend. Refreshments will be served.
HABITAT TO ONCE AGAIN OFFER GETTING AHEAD PROGRAM
Habitat for Humanity of Utah County will again start offering the Getting Ahead in Just Gettin’ by World
program for its partner families, homeowners, and other interested community members beginning in
July.
The Getting Ahead program is a step-by-step life planning and education program that includes facili-
tated education, group support, and hands on experiences. Participants attend a weekly group session
facilitated by a trained facilitator and follow a workbook with various modules. The group sessions last
for 12-15 weeks. The overall goal of the program is to help area families work together to break the pov-
erty cycle, find solutions to community issues, and build bridges to a more stable and productive life.
Habitat started the program locally in 2008, graduating over 88 area residents from the program. The
affiliate has not offered the program for the last few years, however. For more information, contact Kena
at (801) 344-8527 x 103 or kena@habitatuc.org.

HOUSING FACT
If we are to succeed in the
fight against poverty, we must
support the expansion of
housing both as policy and as
practice! Housing must be a
priority!

the cracks.

7. Home Maintenance Tips7 (thehtrc.com)
• Get rid of excess junk
• Organize your supplies, sports equipment, tools,
etc Some helpful hints can be found in our Holiday
organization articles
• Many cities around this time of year hold a free dis-
posal day and it is a good time to bring old paints,
solvents and other toxic chemicals in to be disposed
of properly or recycled.
• Check your fences & repair as needed
• If it has been a few years & you have a septic sys-
tem, you should get it cleaned out
• Check your driveway – patch and repair as needed
Gardening & Grounds Checklist
• Do we really need to mention the ongoing watering,
weeding, and grass cutting that needs to be done?
• Remove any dead flowers, or spent annuals – maybe
replace with perennials
• Divide & cut back spring bulbs
• Bird bath’s – if you set them up, do not forget to clean
& change out the water frequently
• Fertilize your rose bushes
• Indoor plants should also be fertilized, but use only ½
the recommended dosage as recommended
• Time to start planting your Pumpkin seeds and other
cool season vegetable crops (Pumpkins take any-
where from 100 to 140 days to mature – as of July
1st Halloween is only 122 days away)
• As always, please stay safe; if you feel uncomfort-
able, do not understand how to complete a task, etc.
please call in a professional.

The big 4th of July sales events lead the kick-off for sum-
mer clothing clearance as retailers aggressively price
warm weather apparel and what’s remain of previous
styles of clothing and shoes to make room for back to
school sales launching later in July. July 4th shoppers
can expect notable price drops on outdoor toys and
games, as well as pool, patio and party supplies.
Other July savings that launch over the 4th offer deep
savings on home and patio furniture, mattresses and
some large appliances up to 40% off, plus Father’s Day
leftovers for the DIYers on tools/tool boxes, and health
and fitness products. And before it gets too hot and sells
out (fast), keep an eye on price drops for air conditioners
and fans (box, floor-standing and ceiling fans).

SAVINGS TIP
88 (www.protection1.com)
• Review safe boating practices.
• Never consume alcohol while driving a boat.
• Before boating, always check that there are enough
life preservers on hand for every passenger.
• Set water safety rules for your family.
• Pools should be enclosed completely with a fence to
restrict access to the area. Consider installing wire-
less outdoor sensors that will alert you via phone or
with a chime inside your home if the sensors are acti-
vated.
• Keep a first aid kit near the pool.
Grilling Safety
July is one of the peak months for grilling fires. Enjoy grill-
ing your favorite meals this summer while also keeping
your family safe.
• Check gas grill hoses for cracks, holes and leaks.
• Keep children away from grills. Gas leaks, blocked
tubes, and propane tanks can be a cause of grill fires
and explosions.
• Never grill indoors, in the garage, in any enclosed
area or on a surface that might catch fire.
• Keep the grill at least two feet away from decks, sid-
ing, branches and any outdoor equipment that can
catch fire quickly.
If you follow these simple 4th of July safety tips, your en-
tire family will be sure to have a safe and memorable holi-
day.
4th of July Safety Tips
The start of summer is the perfect time to gather
with family and friends for good food and fun times.
This year, celebrate the adoption of the Declaration
of Independence in a safe way. Our 4th of July
safety tips cover a few key summer safety topics to
keep you and your family safe this holiday.
Sparkler & Fireworks Safety
More than 50,000 fires are caused by fireworks
every year. Take the proper precautions when oper-
ating fireworks.
• Never disassemble or try to make your own fire-
works.
• Don’t point sparklers, or fireworks at yourself or
others, especially while they’re being lit.
• Only light fireworks on the ground and in areas
that are dry and fire resistant.
• Don’t attempt to light multiple devices at the
same time.
• Never allow young children to handle fireworks
or sparklers.
• Always keep a portable fire extinguisher close
by. Also keep a water hose or buckets of water
nearby to put out fires.
Water Activity Safety
As July is one of the hottest months of the year,
many families turn to water activities to beat the
heat. However, even fun water activities have seri-
ous risks if the proper precautions aren’t taken.
HEALTH TIP! (abcnews.go.com
Tips for a Healthy Fourth of July
Bring Some Earplugs
And no, we're not talking about using them to tune out cousin Barry. A new report from Loyola University
Health System finds that the sounds of summer—such as fireworks and marching bands—can actually
damage your hearing.
In fact, fireworks have a sound decibel of 150, says Jyoti Bhayani, certified audiologist at Loyola Univer-
sity Health System's Gottlieb Memorial Hospital, and ear protection is recommended for decibels above
85. When noise is too loud, it begins to kill the hair cells and nerve endings in the inner ear; so the longer
(and closer) you're exposed to loud noise, the more likely you are to permanently damage your hearing.
Toss some plugs in your bag or use your hands to cover your ears in a pinch.

HEALTH TIP! (www.health.com/)
Swim in Clear Water
Whether you're planning on making a splash at the beach, pool, or even lake, a good rule of thumb is to
only dip into clear, good-smelling water.
For lake goers, make sure there isn't any blue-green algae, or slimy, smelly green film floating on the lake's
surface. Some forms of this can produce a toxic bacteria (called cyanobacteria) that's bad news for your
health.
SPF in Advance
Applying your sunscreen a few days in advance—a couple times a day—means you can significantly im-
prove your skin's protection from harmful rays.
Follow the Heat and Humidity Rule
To keep from dehydrating, implement the 70/70 rule: When the temperature and humidity are both above
70, you enter the dehydration danger zone, says cardiologist Arthur Agatston, MD.
Stay safe by sipping frequently from a water bottle, and drinking plenty of water before, during, and after
