The Library Recreation Center will create a per-manent indoor hub for community use, instruc-tional programs and activities for all ages. Thispartnership will allow both entities with the abil-ity to expand offerings and increase programavailability throughout the year.

By fully utilizing this existing, state-of-the-art facility–equipped with handicap accessi-bility and elevators–the project will be focused onmaximizing the available basement space.

to hug the rest of his family and sup-porters.

"Once I got under the tunnel, myteammates who also qualified camedown and gave me a big hug. Everythingwas perfect and I am so grateful that Iended up winning state in my senioryear," he said.

Henschel was coached by his father,Brent Henschel, who also won a statetitle for East in 1993 in the Division I119-pound weight class.

"I envisioned winning the statechampionship everyday since I found outthat my dad won. All I needed to do wasescape and then I would be the champ.The target was so close that nothingcould stop me no matter how much timewas in the clock," Cayden Henschel said.

For Brent Henschel, the joy of seeing

his son win a state title was also amoment to reflect on the experiencesthat led to that moment.

"It meant so much to watch Caydenwin his state championship this pastweekend. He's been through so much inhis journey and sacrificed so much andto see his dream come to fruition in sucha dramatic fashion makes it all worthwhile. He's twice the wrestler I ever wasand and it's not even a comparison,"Brent Henschel said. "As a father, and Iknow his grandpa who is my assistantwould agree, it means that much moreand makes it more personal as we'vebeen with him through this journeysince first grade. Hundreds of matchesthroughout the country, thousands ofpractices, countless hours in the weightand dozens of long car rides seeking thebest competition that can be found. Itall came together for him Saturday

night. But if he had fallen short at state,he knew and we all knew it's not aboutreaching your goal but who you becomealong they way. That perspective, I feel,grounded him and gave him that releaseto compete to his potential. I'm veryhappy for him and I hope his experienceand journey will inspire others to followtheir dreams as well."

The arrival of warmer weather meansdifferent things to different people.Some anticipate opportunities for out-door fun, while others may be consider-ing redecorating or remodeling theirhomes. For the latter group, homeimprovement season provides a greatopportunity to make homes more eco-friendly.

When planning home improvementprojects, it’s best to first choose a projectand then look for ways to make the proj-ect more environmentally friendly. Suchan approach may not only benefit theenvironment, but it also may benefithomeowners’ bottom lines.

Interior decoratingLonger days and warmer tempera-

tures often translate into wanting tofreshen up the interior of a home. Heavydraperies and comforters are put away,and lighter fabrics are taken out of stor-age. Whenever possible, reuse or repur-pose items you already have rather thanpurchasing new items. Longer drapes canbe cut and hemmed to be used as windowtreatments in other rooms. Making a

patchwork blanket out of old T-shirts isa crafty project that makes use of itemsthat would otherwise be destined forlandfills.

When laundering linens, skip theenergy-using dryer and let items line dryin the sun and fresh air.

If you decide to purchase some newitems, look for products made from sus-tainable or organic fabrics. Hemp andbamboo textiles have grown in populari-ty. Hemp and bamboo plants grow quick-ly, and their durability makes thesematerials smart choices.

When replacing items around thehouse, donate older items to a charitableorganization.

Flowers and plantsSpring and summer call to mind

beautiful blooming plants. Relying onnative, sustainable plants is practical,environmentally friendly and cost-effec-tive.

According to the National WildlifeFederation, sustainable plants are nativeplants. Native plants sustain localwildlife more effectively than non-native

alternatives, so include native plants inyour sustainable garden. Native plantsalso are less reliant on pesticides andherbicides to keep them healthy andviable.

Don’t forget to bring plants indoors aswell. Even though you may be openingthe windows more, indoor plants can fil-ter and purify indoor air. The NASA CleanAir Study, led in association with theAssociated Landscape Contractors ofAmerica, found that certain commonindoor plants naturally remove toxicagents such as benzene, formaldehydeand trichloroethylene from the air.Efficient air cleaning is accomplishedwith at least one plant per 100 squarefeet of home or office space.

Proper disposalSpring cleaning is another tradition

for many families come the end of winterand dawn of spring. Many people usespring as a time to go through closetsand garages to remove items they nolonger use or need. In an effort to cleanup fast, some people may dispose ofchemical products, paints, treated lum-ber, and many other items in ways thatcan be damaging to the environment.Always learn local municipal guidelinesfor proper disposal of potentially harm-ful products. Area recycling centers mayhave drop-off areas for stains and paints,used motor oil and other potentiallyharmful products.

Before discarding something, see if itcan be donated or sold. This will result infewer items ending up in landfills.

Exercise caution outdoors as well.Runoff from cleaning products used onhome siding or driveways can leach intothe surrounding soil or find its way intosewage drains that ultimately direct flu-ids to public waterways. Choose environ-mentally responsible products wheneverpossible.
