Hometown Hero: Dorothy Kepner

Cheers Dorothy! How DOES she do it?
1. By riding her bicycle everywhere, taking the train, or carpooling...
2. Growing fruits and vegetables in a mixed ornamental-edible garden...
3. And utilizing the lovely delta breeze by opening house windows in the evening and closing them in the morning!
Way to stay Cool, Dorothy!
