Counties, municipal authorities, watershed organizations, businesses and other eligible groups have until June 21 to apply for state grants to address a host of environmental issues. The Department of Environmental Protection favors projects focused on watershed restoration and protection. It also prioritizes ones that expedite on-the-ground, best management practices implementation and develop agricultural erosion and sediment control or nutrient and manure management plans. The Growing Greener Grant Program has helped to slash the backlog of farmland-preservation projects statewide, protect open space, eliminate the maintenance backlog in state parks, provide funds for recreational trails and local parks, and provide new and upgraded water and sewer systems. Protect Yourself from Scams and Exploitation
Scammers are becoming more skilled and deceitful all the time, and it is important that we stay vigilant in our ever-evolving world of technology. One such scam to be aware of are pop-ups and ads for a “free” scan of your computer, which then leads to costs for fixing problems that may not have even existed. Two tech firms, Reimage and Restoro have lied about finding security threats on computers and convinced people to pay tens of millions of dollars for software and services to repair made-up problems. Learn more. Seniors especially are often victimized not only by strangers but even people they know, such as a family member or caregiver. To protect themselves, seniors – or anyone for that matter – should not accept calls from people they do not know or give personal information to strangers – regardless of who they claim to be. Review financial account statements at least monthly and contact the financial institution, credit card issuer or other provider immediately if there are unauthorized charges. Learn more.
