Boulder, Colo. – September 18, 2026 -- Two new murals have gone up in Nederland and Lyons, Colorado, part of a campaign urging homeowners to treat wildfire mitigation as routine home upkeep rather than an emergency response.

Wildfire Partners commissioned the artwork to reach residents directly

The murals, funded by Boulder County's Wildfire Partners program, are located at Nederland Feed and Pet on CO-72 in Nederland and on Broadway between 4th and 5th Ave. in Lyons. Artists Taylor Shaw and Rachel Dinda designed the pieces, each carrying the campaign headline "Home Sweet Mitigated Home" alongside embedded images of properly mitigated homes -- including examples of removed juniper plants, a highly combustible landscaping choice near many county houses.

Somerset, Ky. – – September 18, 2026 -- Homeowners planning a renovation often ask for a price per square foot, but a new HelloNation article argues that number rarely tells the full story. The piece features insights from Construction Expert Jon-Brent Bernard of Secure Structure in Somerset, Kentucky, on why remodeling budgets vary so widely even for similar-looking projects.

According to the article, project scope is the single biggest driver of cost. Cosmetic updates like flooring, paint, cabinets, or fixtures sit at one end of the spectrum, while larger jobs that involve moving walls, replacing plumbing, upgrading electrical systems, or swapping out heating and cooling equipment sit at the other.

Elizabethtown – September 18, 2026 -- Patrick Clark of Clark Jewelers in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, says jewelry owners can protect their rings, necklaces, and bracelets without expensive products or complicated routines, just consistent daily habits.

Removing jewelry before chores prevents chemical damage

Clark recommends taking off rings before washing dishes, swimming, or applying cosmetics, since even mild household cleaning products can dull metal finishes and loosen settings over time. He advises cleaning jewelry gently with warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth to remove daily buildup of dirt and oils.

Frequent cleaning isn't necessary, but consistency is

A quick wipe after each wear helps stop buildup that clouds gemstones and reduces brilliance, according to Clark. He notes that properly drying jewelry after washing is often overlooked, yet it prevents water spots and moisture damage.
