Master Gardener Volunteers Wanted

Why Become a Master Gardener?

The Master Gardener program is an all-volunteer organization where you can develop your

own leadership and teaching skills while teaching the younger youth about healthy eating,

agriculture, and so on! Master Gardeners involve people in activities to improve their general

well-being and overall enjoyment of life by helping them find sound management practices for

home and urban natural resources, by creating pleasing environments through people-plant

interactions and horticultural therapy ( 园艺疗法), and by contributing to a safe, abundant food

supply through home fruit and vegetable production.

It takes a lot of hard work and determination to achieve big goals. Many times, people must

persevere in spite of obstacles to realize their dreams. Collette Divitto is a talented baker who

managed to do just that. She used her bright personality, determination, and talent to become an

entrepreneur.

Collette Divitto was born in Boston. Like many others, after graduating from college, she

wanted to get a job. She went to many job interviews, but she kept getting rejected. Many

employers said she was “not the right fit”. Divitto believed she was being rejected so often in that

she was born with Down syndrome, which is a genetic disorder related to a person’s

chromosomes. People with Down syndrome often have intellectual or physical disabilities.

Facing many job rejections, Divitto felt discouraged and hurt. She felt she wanted to open her

own business and be her own boss. She thought about her hobbies and passions. Divitto knew she

loved baking. She would always create delicious recipes to share with her family and friends. One

of these recipes was for a chocolate chip cookie rolled in cinnamon sugar. Her mom tasted the

cookies and urged her to write down the recipe to make them again. Divitto began baking and

selling her chocolate cookies locally, calling her business “Collettey’s Cookies”. She took her

cookies to a local grocery store named Golden Goose Market. Immediately after tasting the

cookies, the market decided to sell Devitto’s cookies. Golden Goose Market became Divitto’s first

client. Eventually, a television station shared the story of Divitto’s ccokie business. Her story went

viral!

Divitto didn’t just create Collectey’s Cookies to sell delicious baked goods. She has a great

ambition to expand her business so that she can hire as many people as possible. Currently, many

of her employees have disabilities. Divitto also wants non-disabled business owners to see the

strengths and talents of people with disabilities. The majority of disabled people who can work

cannot find paying jobs. Even when they do get jobs, they are often paid less than the minimum

wage. Divitto wants to change these statistics. She wants to make sure people with disabilities get

jobs that pay fairly.

Some late Stone Age Europeans may have carried make-up inside mini bottles worm around

their necks or waists more than 6,000 years ago.

Researchers have found traces of ingredients known to be used in cosmetic formulations (配

力) by later civilizations inside small bottles unearthed in Slovenia, dating to between 4350 and

4100 B.C, more than 200 years earlier than previously thought. In 2014, Bine Kramberger at the

Institute for the PCHS found a mini ceramic bottle al an ancient site once occupied by people of

the Lasinja culture in around 4350 B. C. More than 100 similar bottles have also been found.

Their purpose was unknown, but it is thought that some might have been children’s toys.

Curiously, most of them have holes in their tiny handles or edges that archaeologists think people

threaded string through, enabling them to be worn around the neck or waist. But Kramberger’s

find was different because it contained a solid white substance. “It was clear that it had valuable

information because in such old archaeological sites, we rarely find containers that still keep

remains of their former content,“ he says.

Long and thin stone tools were found near the bottle, which could have been used to extract

the substance within. Now, Kramberger and his colleagues have analysed the substance in the

bottle and examined 13 others from the same period.

The mystery material contained a white lead mineral called cerussite, while different lead

minerals were identified in two other bottles. The three lead-containing bottles also had contents
