It’s World Fair Trade Day at Old North United Methodist Church on Saturday, May 11.  Residents can stop by for lunch, fair trade shopping, coffee tasting, a silent auction, fair trade documentaries, music, and to learn more about the worldwide fair trade movement.

The Old North Fair Trade Market is a retail store specializing in fair trade certified housewares, jewelry, clothing, coffee, tea, and chocolate from around the world.

Termites are already swarming in places in the tri-state, according to Larry Caplan, Extension Horticulture Educator for the Purdue Extension Service in Vanderburgh County.

“What we’re seeing are the reproductive adults looking for a new place to set up a nest.  If you see them somewhere outside your home, you may have an infestation in a nearby dead or dying tree, or in your home; however, they could have just flown in from somewhere else,” Caplan writes in his latest newsletter.  “A quick spray of any insecticide labeled for use outdoors or around the foundation will kill off these swarmers.”
