MWV School to Career Partnership visit to Habitat for Humanity work-site. The pic- ture depicts MWV students who will be entering grades 7-9 in area schools this year. As part of the one-week construction camp, attendees went to the Habitat work-site on Menotomy Road in Fryeburg on July 19. The campers received a brief orientation about the Habitat mission, got to meet Christy Berry, for whose family the home is being built (standing third from the left), and got to write messages to the family on interior wall studs at the conclusion of their building efforts. Along with regular vol- unteer builders, campers helped frame interior walls, apply exterior vinyl siding, install windows and perform related activities. The campers later unanimously reported that their Habitat experience was the favorite camp activity. Also in the pic- ture at the far right is Joe Riddensdale, Construction Camp Coordinator. The picture was taken by Lucas Brown, a student at Kennett High Scholl.

It’s Wicked Dry News from the Garden Front By Ann Bennett

Remember June, when it used to rain, and in fact the Valley received more than double aver- age precipitation? Seems like someone threw a switch and turned off the water; less than a half-inch has fallen in the first three weeks of July. And while thunderstorms rolled through on the 23rd and 24th, delivering heavy showers in some loca- tions, soil conditions remain very dry, and gardens and field Courtesy crops are showing the effects. The upside to the recent stretch of weather is a remark- able succession of superlative summer days. The obvious downside is that many of us do not have a steady supply of water sufficient for regular irri- gation, meaning we are keenly aware of what a vital resource it is. Gardens absorb a remarkable amount of water. Under ordi- nary conditions, plants need approximately an inch of water a week.
