Pettisville Sidewalk Meeting Brings Out Opposition to Project A plan to repair, replace, and add sidewalks to the unincorporated community of Pettisville was presented to members of the community at a Thursday, April 5 meeting.

Not all members of the community were in favor of the project.

Of the approximately 30 people in attendance, several spoke against the sidewalks.

Many said they were in favor of repairing existing sidewalks, but were opposed to adding new sidewalks.

Among their reasons were having to clear snow from the walks; the fear that sidewalks will increase property values, and therefore, property taxes; and the fact that some people simply did not want a sidewalk in their front yard.

Grant Funding Unlike an earlier attempt to do a sidewalk project in Pettisville, Dean Genter, Fulton County commissioner, said the current plan is in line for $440,000 in grant funding through the Ohio Department of Transportation “Safe Routes To School” program.

He said no local money will be spent on the project.

The goal of the program,

drive of the Pettisville Missionary Church to the crosswalk near the Pettisville School event parking lot.

Also, a sidewalk would extend south on the west side of Co. Rd. 19, from Co. Rd. D to the point where houses stop.

The Archbold Ministerial Association came to the aid of the Archbold Area School District after two AHS juniors died in separate auto accidents last week.

Joshua W. Stanford, rural Archbold, was struck by a car while walking on Co. Rd. F, east of St. Rt. 66 about 8:45 pm, Wednesday, April 4.

Anthony W. McCoy Jr., Archbold, was a passenger in a car involved in a two-vehicle crash near the intersection of US20 and Co. Rd. 2 about 7:38 pm, Friday, April 6.

Both 17-year-old boys were pronounced dead at the scene of the accidents.

A forgotten box, covered by other boxes in a storeroom at the Archbold Municipal Building, has yielded a glimpse into the past.

Records of births. Copies of burial permits. Bonds sold for municipal improvements later repaid. Records of court actions.

All packed away in a cardboard box in a corner.

Jim Wyse, Archbold mayor, said Patty Dominique, village income tax commissioner, found the box almost two months ago and turned it over to Jennifer Kidder, Archbold Parks & Recreation director.

Kidder told Wyse about it.

“I find it (history) intriguing. I’m kind of passionate about that stuff,” Wyse said.

Wyse took the box home and began going through the papers.

The box contained possibly 400 postal cards that were apparently filled out by the parents of a new baby, sent to the Bureau of Vital Statistics in Columbus, and then mailed back to Ora E. Lauber, the local registrar.

The cards contained the mother’s name (maiden and married), the name of the father, the child’s name, and date of birth– but no information such as birth weight or length.

Most of the birth records (Continued on page 3)

Stanford The Ohio State Highway Patrol report on the April 4 mishap states Stanford was walking in the roadway when he was struck by a westbound car driven by Peter A. Dinius, 27, Archbold.

ALS-1, the Archboldbased paramedic unit, and Archbold Rescue responded to the call. A helicopter ambulance landed nearby, but Stanford was pronounced dead at the scene. He was not transported.

William N. Bowers, an OSHP lieutenant and commander of the Toledo OSHP post, said the accident reconstruction unit was called to investigate.

Bowers said as of Monday, he could confirm that Stanford was in the roadway when struck, but could not say exactly where in the roadway.

He said as of Monday, no charges had been filed against Dinius.

went off the right side of the roadway and overturned several times. Anthony McCoy Jr. was ejected.

Anthony McCoy, Sr., and Loraine McCoy were wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash. Anthony McCoy Jr. was not wearing one.

Rescue units, including a helicopter ambulance, responded.

Anthony McCoy Jr. was pronounced dead at the scene.

Anthony McCoy Sr. and Loraine McCoy were transported by helicopter to St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center, Toledo. He was treated and released; she was discharged from St. Vs, Saturday, April 7.

Adair was taken by a Fulton County Emergency Medical Service ambulance to Flower Hospital, Sylvania. She was treated and released.

Bowers said OSHP accident reconstruction specialists are conducting an investigation of the Friday evening accident.

Both mishaps are under investigation.

Oversize Load Is Understatement Miller Transfer and Rigging, Rootstown, moved this 267,000pound electric transformer through Archbold on Monday. It was on its way from one of Delta’s steel plants to Louisville, near Canton, for repair. The trip was expected to take three days. The special heavy-haul trailer was pulled by one semi tractor, with a second one behind. A long steel pole connected the back of the trailer to the front bumper of the trailing trac-

tor. Before crossing the Norfolk Southern tracks, it stopped to allow workers to hydraulically raise the trailer. Once across the tracks, it stopped again, and workers lowered the load.

Overall, the rig was 18 feet, 6 inches wide, just under 16 feet tall, and weighed more than half a million pounds.–photo by David Pugh

Original Estimate The Power Pull building was in need of some renovations to make the building suitable for the DD Board clients. Originally, the renovations were anticipated to cost about $600,000.

In February 2012, the commissioners approved seeking bids for renovations. At that time, the estimated price Egg Hunter tag was nearly $2.1 million.

Fulton County Commissioners have approved bids totaling $2,065,900 to renovate a 36,000-square-foot building in Wauseon for the Fulton County Board of Developmental Disabilities.

The commissioners approved the bids at their Thursday, April 5 meeting.

The DD Board plans to move Triangular Processing, a non-profit sheltered workshop for people with developmental disabilities, into the former American Power Pull building, 550 West Linfoot Street.

Because Ohio law prohibits the DD Board from owning property, the commissioners purchased the building on behalf of the DD Board at a cost of $692,217 on June 28, 2011.

Archbold (Ohio) Buckeye, Week of April 11, 2012–3

Swimming Pool Problem Located *Local Ministerial Jennifer Kidder, director of Archbold Parks & Recreation, told members of the Archbold Park Board the problem with the Archbold Swimming Pool has been located.

“The leak is in the clear well,” a large holding tank that is part of the water filtration system, Kidder told park board members at their Monday, April 9 meeting.

The pool has been leaking water for some time. Two attempts were made to fix the problem, with no success.

Pumps, piping, filters and other equipment connect the pool and the clear well. In an attempt to find the problem, the clear well and the pool were isolated from one another by valves.

Troy Double, parks superintendent, said after two months, water in the pool did not drop an inch.

Therefore, the problem is in the clear well.

Kidder said when village workers start preparing the pool for the coming season, they will put new caulking in the clear well.

desperate,” she said.

In addition, Parks & Recreation hires one person to water trees on a part-time, as-needed basis.

Managers In other pool-related news, Kidder said Bridget Wyse is the swimming pool manager for the 2012 season. Jordan Fidler is the assistant manager.

This year, Kidder said, was the first year she didn’t have to hire someone for the swimming pool staff.

“Everyone came back,” she said.

She said this year, Parks & Recreation will try to function with two maintenance employees instead of three, in an attempt to save money.

If necessary, Kidder said a third worker could be hired later.

“There’s always someone looking for a job if we get

Church Work Day Several Archbold churches joined together Saturday, March 24, for a community work day.

Kidder said volunteers from the village churches did various work details throughout the village, including work in Ruihley Park.

The volunteers did quite a bit of work in the park, including cleanup around the horseshoe pits, park pavilion, and Civil War Memorial cannon.

“They did a nice job,” Kidder said.

A tentative date of Saturday, May 5, has been set for the construction of two picnic shelters in Woodland Park. If there is adverse

weather, construction will be put off until June, Kidder said.

One shelter will be built north of the playground. A second will be constructed to the southeast of the small soccer fields, in the west half of the park.

Kidder said tryouts for the Little League team started Monday. Tryouts for the age 10-and-under traveling team also were scheduled.

Kidder said Brian Becher, Archbold High School wrestling coach, will take photos of summer sports events.

Money raised by the sale of photos will go to the Archbold Mother’s Club, which supports Archbold wrestling.

All Park Board members were present, and all votes unanimous.

The next meeting is Wednesday, May 16, 8 pm, at the Archbold Council Chambers.–David Pugh

Park Board Appeals For Scholarship Funds Jennifer Kidder, director of Archbold Parks & Recreation, told the Archbold Park Board she is seeking funds for the scholarship fund and the sponsorship of summer sports.

Speaking to the board at

its Monday, April 9 meeting, Kidder said she had sent letters seeking money for the scholarship fund to Archbold Rotary, Archbold Lions, and the Archbold Area Foundation.

Park board began discuss-

This card, one of about 400 found in a box of old records discovered in the Archbold Municipal Building, records the birth of a child. It states, “I hereby certify that the child of Amandus Short and Malinda Aeschliman (mother’s maiden name) born on second day of July, 1921, has been named Lawrence Edward Short.” It is signed, Mrs. Amandus Short. Lawrence Short, a former mayor of Archbold, is 90 years old.–photo by David Pugh

*Village Records (Continuef from first page) ranged from 1908 to 1920.

There were other documents dealing with the end of life. There were permits for burials, permits to move bodies for one place to another, and permits to exhume and move the deceased.

In most cases, the name of the person, their date of death, and cause of death were recorded with who was then called the undertaker.

One permit was for a “stillborn female.” No other information was listed.

In another case, Wyse said a burial permit for human body parts, found along the railroad tracks, was found.

No name was listed.

One-Term Mayors Wyse said the earliest documents, dating back to 1896, were from the “mayor’s court.”

Mayor’s court was where punishment was dispensed for minor infractions of the law.

“Some of those mayor’s court records were kind of interesting,” he said.

“As I was reading through that stuff, it became apparent why, back in the day, mayors only made it through one term.

“They had to enforce the rules and administer the law at the time, and I’m sure they were making people mad.”

Most mayor’s court cases “had to do with somebody having a little too much to drink and not making it

home. People would find them, and they would report them to the mayor that so-and-so was found intoxicated and they would have to appear” in mayor’s court, Wyse said.

“I did find some relatives in there, but we won’t get into names.”

There are bills that were submitted to council and paid, and oaths of office signed by office holders, including one from August Ruihley, the mayor for whom Ruihley Park was named.

There were not only bonds, but coupons attached to the bonds that investors redeemed to receive payment.

For example, coupon number eight for bond 15 was cashed on March 5, 1926, for the amount of $30. The bond was for a street improvement, “property owner’s part,” dated April 1, 1922.

The bond could be redeemed at the People’s State Bank.

What To Do Wyse said a few years ago, a wealth of old village records was found in a dumpster.

“No one has taken an interest in making sure this stuff is taken care of, and obviously at some point years ago, somebody was just throwing the stuff away.

“Not that there’s a use for it today, but at the same time, this is our history, and I don’t think we should just throw it away.”

Gospel Echoes Team Banquet

ing the scholarship program in August 2008.

The goal of the program is to provide money for families who may not be able to afford the fees charged for some Parks and Recreation programs.

For example, some traveling teams have a fee, plus the cost of uniforms. For a family with more than one child participating, costs can add up.

One of the most popular uses for scholarship funding is for swimming pool passes.

Kidder told park board members Monday she currently is not taking scholarship applications for swimming pool passes.

She said she also has sent letters to the 50 to 60 businesses who annually sponsor summer baseball, softball, and t-ball.

Arbor Day Kidder told the board the village will hold its 2012 Arbor Day celebration in Ruihley Park at 1 pm, Friday,

April 20.

Kidder said village officials tried to find buckeye trees for the parks, but there are not a lot available. Smaller trees may be purchased, then transplanted later.

Kidder said she checked on trees in Woodland Park, and reported they are in good shape.

However, Kevin Morton, park board member, council liaison to park board, and member of the village tree committee, said oak trees planted at the west end of the village industrial park are not growing.

Egg Hunt Kidder said the Flashlight Easter Egg Hunt, Saturday, March 31, went well.

She said she was afraid turnout would be down, because during the hunt, Ohio State University was playing in the National Collegiate Athletic Association men’s basketball tournament.

Turnout did not appear to be impacted, she said.

(Continued from first page) tendent, said there was a meeting between school officials and several members of the ministerial association Monday morning.

During the meeting, members of the association said they were willing to clear their calendars and be available to counsel students during the day.

Deskins said both school officials and the ministers were in agreement that students should have access to counselors if they felt the need.

He said several ministers were at the Archbold Middle School where there were siblings, relatives, and other friends of the boys.

Other clergymen stood by

at the high school, ready to work with high school counselors to support students and staff members.

Over the weekend, Deskins said school district officials were in communication, by telephone and personal meeting, with each other and with officials at the Four County Career Center, where Stanford was a student.

There was no school at Four County Monday, April 2 through Friday, April 13.

In addition, Deskins said he was in touch with the families of the boys and members of the school staff.

“Our school community is in mourning, and our deepest sympathies go out to the families,” he said.

*Pettisville (Continued from first page) would be built on Maple Ave. to connect existing sidewalks, and around the northeast corner of the school property along Oak and Summit streets.

A proposed phase II plan, shown in blue lines on the aerial photo includes potential sidewalks on the east side of Co. Rd. 19 south of Co. Rd. D; along Summit and Willow streets to Ann Ave., then eventually the high school baseball diamond; along Dame Street-Co. Rd. DE; and north on Co. Rd. 19, north of the railroad tracks to St. Rt. 2.

However, Leonard Richer, a Clinton Township Trustee, said the phase II sidewalks will probably never be built.

He said additional grant money won’t be available.

The only way sidewalks would be funded would be through a property tax levy, and Clinton Township voters in Wauseon probably won’t support a tax for sidewalks in Pettisville.

“The blue lines will never happen,” he said.

Adams said the grant money will pay for five-foot wide sidewalks, engineered for proper drainage.

Also, she said the grant funding will pay for improved crosswalks.

Improvements include flashing school and pedestrian signs and pedestrian ramps.

Opposed Jim and Toni Ballin, who live on Co. Rd. 19 north of the tracks, opposed the sidewalks for several reasons.

One, the distance from

the front door of their home to the edge of Co. Rd. 19 is relatively small; they fear a sidewalk could end up near their front door.

Jim Ballin pointed out Pettisville School students who live north of the railroad tracks are bused to school; therefore, a sidewalk for students is not needed.

Jim Ballin also said it’s only common sense that if someone is walking on the roadway and a car is coming, they should get off the road.

“What about personal responsibility?

“If you’re going to walk on the road, you need to be taught to get off the road when a car comes.

“We can’t give the school everything it wants,” he said.

Problem The Ballins, and others, complained they did not receive notices of the meeting until the day of the meeting.

Amy Metz-Simon, grants coordinator for Fulton County, said there was a problem with the addressing of the notices. Several were returned by the post office.

Government officials at the meeting said a second meeting will be scheduled.– David Pugh

The AHS girls team finished second with six firstplace finishes. The Tigers won the girls meet with 83 points. The Streaks had 53 and the Vikings had 38.

The Archbold softball team defeated Edgerton 19-8 in five innings while dropping close games to Crestview and Parkway by 8-6 and 5-4 counts, respectively, last week.

Poor defense was the downfall of the two losses as the Streaks committed nine errors in the contests, said Joe Frank, AHS head coach.

AHS 19, Edgerton 8 The Streaks jumped out to a 6-1 lead after one inning and cruised to the victory, Tuesday, April 3.

Cassidy Wyse had a big day at the plate, going 3-3 with two singles, a grand slam home run, and six runs batted in.

Cassidy Williams was 4-4 with a double, Chelsea Goebel was 3-3 with a double, and Becca Gerig, Morgan Cody, and Mindy Rupp each had two hits.

Hanna Allison, Gerig, and Rupp homered, along with Wyse.

Allison picked up the win on the mound, pitching 3 2/3 innings while giving up one run on two hits. Hannah Kern and Winter Fricke also pitched.

Crestview 8, AHS 6 Parkway 5, AHS 4 The Streaks jumped out to a 4-0 lead after one inning and led 6-4 going into the seventh before falling to Crestview 8-6, Saturday, April 7.

Two Blue Streak errors opened the door to the rally as they couldn’t hold on to the lead.

Archbold was unable to rally in the bottom of the seventh and fell to the Knights.

Wyse led the way at the plate, going 3-4 with a double while Allison was 2-4 with a three-run homer. Goebel was also 2-4 with three runs batted in.

Allison was the toughluck loser on the mound. She gave up 10 hits but only two earned runs. The Streaks committed five errors in the loss.

The Streaks continued their struggles in the field in game two of the doubleheader and lost to Parkway 5-4.

The Streaks committed four costly errors, which led to three unearned runs.

Kern pitched the first five innings and took the loss on the mound. She gave up six hits while striking out two.

Fricke pitched the last two innings and held the Panthers scoreless while giving up one hit.

AHS hitters struggled, managing only four hits headed into the seventh.

Facing a 5-2 deficit, Wyse singled and Allison hit a tworun home run to narrow the gap to 5-4. Rupp hit a twoout triple, but was stranded at third as the game ended.

Wyse led AHS with two hits, including a double.

“This was an extremely frustrating day,” said Frank. “We failed to make routine plays and cost ourselves a chance to win two games.

“We had seven errors in

“We have to get things turned around quickly with Northwest Ohio Athletic League contests beginning this week. I am confident that we will get it turned around, because we have shown we are capable of making plays that we failed to make today.

We will see if that happens this week with six games coming up.”

Motorists and citizens must be protected.

Now DIYers are teaming up with friends, families or companies to tackle home improvement and springcleaning projects.

Tackling home improvement or maintenance projects is a great way to work together with others in your community to accomplish more in less time.

Learning a few facts about a refrigerant commonly used in air conditioners could help you keep your cool.

The refrigerant, R-22, is being phased out as part of an international environmental agreement to discontinue the use of HCFCs, or hydrochlorofluorocarbons.

How does this affect your homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s air-conditioning equipment?

While it may not impact your air-conditioning system in the next decade, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to understand the facts if you are told your system must be replaced.

If you own an R-22-based air-conditioning unit, here are a few facts you need to know: â&#x20AC;˘If your system does not leak or need repair, it may

Wipe clean using a dry, clean, lint-free cloth. *Avoid ammonia- or alcohol-based glass cleaners that can leave streaks or a film that attracts moisture and dust. *Avoid using a razor blade to scrape off stubborn marks on glassâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; permanent scratches may result. *To remove dust and dirt from screens, simply vacuum with the upholstery brush. *For grease spots on kitchen or patio screens, use hot water and a mild detergent. *For a flat screen on a storm door or patio door, remove the screen and wash with soap and water.

Or use a drapery brush attachment on a vacuum.

Seven Simple Steps To Senior Bathroom Safety One in three seniors over the age of 65 will experience at least one fall annually, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

The bathroom is one of the most dangerous rooms in the home for the elderly.

Slick floors, small spaces, sharp edges and few things to grasp make mobility difficult and increase chances for dangerous falls.

Unable to complete everyday tasks with the same mobility they once had, many senior homeowners are left with unsafe measures to prevent falling in the bathroom.

These may include insufficiently secured towel racks that could fall when gripped for support, shower chairs that are not slip resistant and sliding shower doors that could move unexpectedly when entering and exiting the tub.

Some portable safety handles use super strong suction cups and are easy to apply and remove. *Consider installing nonskid tape or mats on the floor of a shower or bathtub. *A shower chair is also a safe solution that can be easily placed where balance is a challenge. *Flexible handheld shower wands with an on/off button might be easier to use than a traditional shower head.

These are especially useful (Continued on page 2B)

Designate specific areas inside the closet for each person.

Tips To Help Create A Harmonious Closet Cohabitation means sharing your home, your stuff– and even your closet space.

One easy way to minimize conflict in a relationship is to create a harmonious closet– where his and her stuff can peacefully coexist.

Start out by evaluating your current closet configuration. When merging closet contents, don’t assume that everything will fit.

First, take an inventory of what you already have.

Remember, you wear 20 percent of your clothes 80 percent of the time.

So sort through your wardrobe, creating piles to keep, donate and discard.

Cleaning out rarely used items will create more storage space for both of you.

Next, designate specific areas inside the closet for each person; that way, he has room to store his sports memorabilia and she has room for all those shoes.

Here are some other useful suggestions on how to organize a closet.

For Her: •A center tower of shelv-

ing, wire baskets or pull-out drawers can hold frequently used items and keep personal items like jewelry and perfume within arm’s reach.

•Artfully display handbags on shelves near other accessories.

•Ample shoe shelving makes it easy to find those go-with-anything black heels or running shoes for a morning workout.

For Him: •Maximize space with double- hang rods for shirts, dress pants and suit jackets.

•Consider a pull-out canvas hamper to keep dirty clothes out of the way.

•Tie and belt racks make it easy to find accessories that create a polished, professional look.

For Both: •Install shelving for folded sweaters, shirts, jeans and pants.

•Top shelving above the highest hanging rod can be used to store seasonal clothing, photo albums, luggage and any extra guest pillows or blankets.

Small decisions can make a big difference over time on your carbon footprint, and some of the “greenest” decisions you can make begin at home.

Fortunately, there are several easy, affordable ways to lead a greener lifestyle at home.

1. Get some fresh air.

From the cleaning supplies you use to the off-gassing of new furniture, carpet and paint, your home carries airborne toxins that can cause health problems if they become trapped and increase in density.

Counteract this by bringing fresh air inside.

Your green action: Intermittently open windows on opposite sides of a house to encourage a cross-breeze.

In a two-story house, open a window downstairs and a window upstairs. As warm air rises, it will exit the topfloor window.

In places like kitchens and bathrooms, where moisture can accumulate and trigger mold growth if left unaddressed, spot ventilation can be achieved with exhaust fans.

It’s also important in rooms with gas appliances to offset carbon monoxide.

Exhaust fans can be noisy.

Look for those rated 2.0 sones or less.

2. You hold the power.

Being money smart may mean rethinking the way you use gas and electricity in the home.

Your green action: Take care of your appliances for maximum energy efficiency.

Plugged-in appliances consume energy even when they

3. Be water wise. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, a family of four in the United States uses about 400 gallons of water daily– 70 percent of which is for indoor are turned off or in standby use. mode.

are ideal but can be expensive. An alternative is installing low-flow showerheads and faucet aerators.

A low-flow showerhead can save a household up to 2,300 gallons of water a year.

A faucet aerator attaches to the end of a faucet and slows the water flow, while adding air to maintain water pressure.

The U.S. Department of Energy recommends aerators with a maximum flow rate of one gallon per minute.

*Seven Simple layer of protection. *Some faucet handles are difficult for arthritic hands to grip and turn. These should be replaced with models that are easier for seniors to use.

A study by the Home Safety Council found that falls are the leading cause of home injury-related deaths among older adults.

Making simple home installations can make day-today living for seniors easier, reduce their risk of falling and give peace of mind to those close to them.

Roller Or Brush? The Applicator Tips On How To Matters For Your DIY Painting Project Survive A Disaster In today’s tight economy, freshening outdated home interiors can seem like a daunting, budget-breaking task.

The good news is that you don’t have to spend a lot to remove eyesores such as unattractive paneling, toodark cabinets or that not-socharming “retro” fireplace mantel and surround.

Instead of living with these design disasters from another era, there’s an easy and inexpensive fix– paint.

Quality interior coatings, applied with the proper applicators, can go a long way in giving those design debacles a quick and easy facelift for hundreds of dollars less than a full-scale renovation.

But before you start your paint project, it’s important to know the key to success is selecting not only a quality coating, but applying it with a quality painting applicator.

If an inferior applicator is used, even the most outstanding paint may not provide the smooth finish you desire.

Using superior applicators can streamline a variety of interior painting projects, saving you time and money, and ultimately helping you achieve a fabulous end result.

Paint has long been considered one of the great budget boosters for decorating projects.

When you combine a firstrate paint with a quality painting applicator, you can transform a variety of surfaces, from outdated cabinetry to knotty pine paneling,

Pay attention to the size, quality, and kind of applicator you use in addition to the paint. giving any room in the house a fresh look.

When To Use A Mini Roller Premium applicators come in a number of shapes and sizes; however one of today’s most popular choices is the mini roller.

Mini rollers are versatile, lightweight, and can quickly and easily deliver a perfect finish with smooth rolling action and have the ability to reach tight spaces.

These combined features make them the ideal appli-

cator for an endless number of projects, from painting walls, doors and cabinets, to freshening up tables, chairs and even bedroom furniture.

When To Use A Brush Even with all the advantages the mini roller offers, a paint brush is still the hero for most projects especially when trim work is needed.

A quality brush is a must when you’re aiming to end up with a professional-looking appearance.

Most consumers might not

know it’s also important to use a brush that’s the appropriate size for your painting project.

So, be certain to keep these tips in mind: *Use 1- and 2-inch brushes for trim work, touch-ups and smaller projects such as window frames and moldings. Angular 1- and 2-inch brushes are great for painting around windows. *Choose brushes measuring 2 1/2 and 3 inches for medium-size surfaces such as cabinets, baseboards, doors or steps. *Paint larger surfaces, like walls, ceilings, and floors with brushes ranging in size from 3 1/2 inches to 6 inches.

Whether you’re using a brush or mini roller, the right applicator can make or break any painting project.

By paying as much attention to the size and quality of applicator used, in addition to the paint, you’re guaranteed to end up with a fantastic finished project that you’ll be able to admire and enjoy for years to come.

A disaster can happen any time to anyone, and the better prepared you are, the better your odds of surviving it.

Recently, the news has been filled with stories of tornadoes, earthquakes and floods, all of which have caused enormous destruction and, in some cases, loss of life.

It has caused many people to think about survival kits and plans.

Making A Plan What should you plan for and what should your survival kit contain?

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security encourages people to consult websites such as www.ready. gov.

In the event of an emergency, it may be necessary to survive on your own. With that reality in mind, the site has a helpful checklist of items to keep on hand, including: •Water •Nonperishable food

•Radio, flashlight and batteries •First aid kit •Whistle •Dust masks •Plastic sheeting and duct tape •Cell phone and charger or inverter.

Stay Powered Another key consideration: preparing for a loss of electricity.

A home-based survival kit proves its value in an emergency.

And that’s also when a residential standby generator can make all the difference, enabling you to stay in your home in comfort and safety.

Unlike portable units, a home standby generator is hardwired into your home’s electrical system.

Teamed with an automatic transfer switch, the residential generator automatically kicks in when it senses a loss of utility power, and it automatically shuts (Continued on page 4B)

So you have this love hate relationship with your screen porch. You love the outdoor sights, sounds and smells, but you hate the mess. In the spring and summer, your furniture and carpet get wet and dirty. The wind blows the newspaper out of your hands. In the fall and winter its cold out there where you love to be and you have to shovel the snow out and cover the furniture or haul it to the attic. Or you get the plastic and staple gun out and build a temporary barrier. Maybe you have Plexiglas that you put up. Either way, if there is a nice day you’re stuck, because either way you have to wait until spring to take it all down again.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could make better use of that space? It’s a great, relaxing place to hang out, that is as long as the temperature is perfect, the wind isn’t blowing too hard and it’s not raining or snowing.

With the “Eze-Breeze” sliding panels, you can have the best of both worlds. You can continue to love the outdoor feeling that your screen room gives you. But now you control the outdoor elements, they don’t control you.

Outdoor Living Trends Can ‘Spring’ Into A Relaxing Summer Update Your Patio Or Deck With Easy Spring Cleaning Tips

Mix Functional Furniture The line between indoor and outdoor design is blurring.

You can coordinate the style of adjacent indoor and outdoor rooms, since you and your guests will likely spend time in both.

No matter if you have a large outdoor deck or a simple small patio, many affordable, stylish outdoor furniture options are available.

Set up furniture with flow in mind, grouping pieces together to encourage comfort, conversation and a view of nature.

Add Colorful Accessories Incorporating rugs, outdoor pillows, candles and other accessories in vivid colors or fun patterns can really make your outdoor space come alive.

Pick three to four colors for your scheme and stick with those colors throughout your design choices.

Some of the season’s top hues include rich reds, vivid blues, soothing neutrals and garden-inspired greens.

Metal accents are popular as well, so look for decor with gold or silver detailing for a design that’s modern with a tropical flare.

Spring is here, which means one thing: it’s time to get your home in tip-top shape.

By completing a few easy tasks, you can spend more time soaking up the sun and less time on interior projects.

Here are five ways to spruce up your home this spring to prepare for a relaxing summer and give your home that “spring cleaning” feel without spending the entire spring, well, cleaning.

Remember to look for options that have a removable screen, so you can open when needed for cooking and then close to keep the fire safely contained.

Create Privacy Just because you’re outdoors doesn’t mean that you don’t want a bit of privacy from neighbors or passersby.

The good news is it’s easy to create boundaries to your space by using a pergola or outdoor curtains.

These options tie in nicely with other outdoor design trends and can give just the right amount of privacy, creating your own outdoor “room” in which to enjoy the long, sunny days.

Light The Night Lighting can really make your outdoor space come alive once the sun goes down.

Add depth and intrigue by “lightscaping” from different sources.

Consider putting up string lights that provide a magical setting that is sure to dazzle guests long after darkness falls.

Add an intimate wall lantern next to the patio door or eco-friendly LED garden and path lights to add a soft illumination to outdoor space.

Incorporate A Fire Pit An outdoor bonfire likely evokes pleasant memories of the past, so incorporate a fire pit into your patio space so your whole family can enjoy time together roasting marshmallows, telling stories and gazing at the stars.

Today’s modern fire pits are both stylish and useful, adding a cozy ambiance while warding off the chill on cooler nights.

Make any room feel bright and fresh by cleaning the inside glass of your windows.

A quick once over with a paper towel and glass cleaner should do the trick.

Look for a “streak-free” formula and the insides will be sparkling in no time.

Get the outside just as clean– without the hard work– by using a cleaner that attaches directly to your garden hose.

All you have to do is point and spray to remove the dirt and grime left behind from winter.

It’s safe to use on plastic siding and can help you easily reach second story windows.

3. Wash Away Winter Grime You know that soft, comfy throw blanket you’ve been snuggling up with all winter?

It’s storing more than cozy memories.

Since winter is prime cold and flu season, it’s probably become home to lots of germs.

Increase the clean factor in your home by tossing throw blankets, pillows, window treatments, even couch covers in the washing machine to get rid of germs.

Then, hang them outside to dry in the sun and soak up that springtime scent.

4. Say “Sayonara” To Your Sweaters Scarves, hats, gloves, wool sweaters and other heavy items of clothing won’t be much use to you once spring is in full swing.

Save room in your closets by getting them out of the way– put clothing items you won’t need in warm weather in plastic storage bins.

Keep them in an attic or basement, clearing space for your warmer-weather wear.

As you’re packing things up, pull aside anything you haven’t worn all winter and donate these items to your local charity.

It’s an easy way to de-clutter, make your home feel more organized and give back to your community.

Throughout the year, you probably wipe down surfaces that are clearly visible– tables, shelves, countertops.

But, when was the last time the top of the refrigerator or the ceiling fan saw a duster?

Use spring cleaning as a chance to focus on those areas that don’t often get cleaned. Your home, and your nose, will thank you.

Invest In Your Floors For Dividends Down The Road When you get down to it, a new floor can really raise a homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resale value.

In fact, according to the annual Cost vs. Value Report, published by The National Association of Realtors, installing new floors in your home adds dividends to your bottom line when it comes time to sell.

Fortunately, new flooring is more accessible and affordable than ever before.

To help, the World Floor Covering Association offers these insights on how to find the right floor for you: 1. Love it. Flooring can last quite a long time.

Consider what may be timely compared to timeless.

Bring a sample home and be sure what you love today will still hold your affections years later.

2. Wear and tear. Think about what kind of a beating the floor will have to take.

Will it be in a wet area, such as an entrance, bathroom or kitchen?

If in a family or living area, will it be comfortable?

Ceramic tile can be cold.

Natural stone can handle a lot of traffic, but it can be hard to stand on after a while.

3. Money. Consider your budget, the overall cost of the job and value of your house.

4. Consider: â&#x20AC;˘What rooms get the new flooring? â&#x20AC;˘What are their sizes? â&#x20AC;˘Do you have children or pets? â&#x20AC;˘How many people live in the home? â&#x20AC;˘Do you entertain often? â&#x20AC;˘How important is comfort, ease of maintenance, appearance, durability, adding value to the home and price?

5. What kind? â&#x20AC;˘Wood: Hardwood can withstand both time and growing families.

New surface treatments offer an unlimited selection of colors and finishes; a wide assortment of formats including planks, medallions, inlays, borders and tiles; and increased durability, especially when it comes to the newly â&#x20AC;&#x153;engineeredâ&#x20AC;? varietiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; some of the surface

finishes have been tested to be stronger than diamonds. â&#x20AC;˘Tile: The design possibilities are nearly endless while cleaning and maintenance are virtually effortless.

Almost any look, including hardwood, leather, stone, marble, travertine and cement, can be achieved affordably with tile.

Tile floors can create optical illusions, making a room appear longer or narrower; direct the eye to a certain area; unify two rooms; or create separate areas within one space.

Porcelain and ceramic tile are the most durable of all flooring products, with superior scratch, damage and moisture resistance and low maintenance.

Tile is a great choice for wet rooms and rooms that get a lot of wear and tear. â&#x20AC;˘Carpet: Carpet today is stain resistant with highquality padding, velvety soft fibers, built-in odor eaters and great designs.

Carpet is relatively inexpensive; soft, quiet and warm underfoot; installs

easily over most surfaces; can hide subfloor irregularities; and offers more options for color, texture, tone, pattern and hue than any other floor covering. â&#x20AC;˘Laminate: Laminate flooring was created to replicate other flooring materials, such as stone and wood, at a fraction of the cost.

Laminate floors are fairly low maintenance and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need waxing, oiling or staining.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s available in a wide range of colors and designs and can closely resemble natural materials. â&#x20AC;˘Resilient: This category includes vinyl, cork, rubber and linoleum.

Resilient flooring can be great for kitchens and bathrooms because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to keep clean, is durable, water resistant, and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fade, stain or dent.

It comes in many colors, textures and patterns.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also mildew and stain resistant; low maintenance and easy to clean; comfortable underfoot; inexpensive; warmer than tile; and lasts a long time.

Deciding On The Right Dishwasher If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done with doing dishes, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not alone.

According to a recent survey, 21 percent of women cited washing the dishes as their least favorite household chore.

Before deciding on a dishwasher, consider the following shopping tips: â&#x20AC;˘Load it up: If everyone had the same set of dishes, cookware and serveware, one dishwasher would fit all.

But that is not the case.

So take stock of your dishes before shopping to better judge if your dishes will sit comfortably in the racks.

Most dishwashers also now come with holders to prevent silverware from â&#x20AC;&#x153;nesting,â&#x20AC;? so make sure your set fits the slots. â&#x20AC;˘Check under the hood: Sort of. Most people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the difference between filter- and disposal-based sys-

Disposal systems, which use a blade to chop particles and separate them from the water, do not require the same amount of maintenance, but can be louder and less efficient. â&#x20AC;˘Do your homework: Request any information the salesperson may have on how the dishwasher stacks up to the rest.

Check the machineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enUsing a dishwasher doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ergy efficiency rating. These just save time; it also saves ratings change, so be sure to select a model with the best water. available rating. â&#x20AC;˘Evaluate yourself: Those tems, so be sure to look at the bottom of the dishwasher, as the difference is significant.

Filter-based systems, which use water filtration to separate food particles from the water washing your dishes, are generally quieter and more energy efficientâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; but they also require a periodic rinse of the filter.

who are not inclined to spend quality time with their dishwasherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manual can benefit from a model equipped with a sensor cycle.

Sensor cycles will choose the best wash cycle for the load by detecting just how dirty the dishes are, and can help save energy. â&#x20AC;˘Get in the zone: Spray zones are important when it comes to those dishes with hard, stuck-on food particles.

Did you know that, across the country, leaks account for more than one trillion gallons of water wasted each year?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enough water annually to supply Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado combined.

Each year, the average American home wastes more than 10,000 gallons of water on easy-to-fix household leaks.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how much water a family uses to wash 10 monthsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worth of laundry, and it could be adding 10 percent to your water bill.

Check your water bill in winter; if a family of four uses more than 12,000 gallons per month, you may have a leak.

If your water bill is not measured in gallons, you can easily find a conversion calculator online.

Finding and fixing leaks around the home is as easy as check, twist and replace.

Check toilets for leaks by putting food coloring in the tank and waiting a few minutes; if the color shows up in the bowl before you flush,

you have a leak.

The culprit may be a worn rubber flapper, which can be easily replaced at a hardware store.

You should also check your outdoor watering system this spring for damage from freezing temperatures.

Twist the joints connecting your showerhead and use pipe tape to ensure a tighter connection if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a leak.

Outdoors, twist the hose connection tightly to the spigot and replace the hose washer if necessary.

Replace worn gaskets to nip faucet drips; one drip per second wastes 3,000 gallons of water per year!

If you need to replace an entire fixture, look for the WaterSense label, which signifies that a product has been independently certified to use less water and perform well.

Budget-Savvy Home: Spruce Up For Spring On A Shoe String

From painting to new accessories and flooring, there are many projects that you can

complete in a weekend that will improve the look and feel of your home.

Spring Into Home Improvement With Weekend Wonder Projects Sprucing up your home for spring doesn’t have to mean spending huge amounts of time and money.

In fact, there are many projects that you can complete in a weekend that will improve the look and feel of your home.

With a little guidance and the right tools, you can easily get your home in top shape by Monday morning.

Paint Refresh Commonly recognized as one of the most easy and cost-effective interior updates, painting is a weekend project that can completely transform the aesthetic of your home.

When purchasing paint, a quality product will ensure your end results are beautiful.

Low-quality, inexpensive paint will likely require a number of coats to get the coverage needed– resulting in more time and money spent.

To avoid increased time and cost, use a premium line of paint. When choosing paint for your next weekend project, remember that a quality product will achieve the best end result and save you time and money in the long run.

Lighting Update Tired of the same old lamps sitting on your end tables but don’t have the funds to revamp your lighting decor?

A new lamp shade will completely change the look

of any piece.

You can also easily transform pieces by renewing the lamp bases; a quick walk down the spray paint aisle will show limitless possibilities of colors and finishes.

Create a cohesive look by bringing that new finish to your hanging fixtures as well.

Accessorize Adding trendy, fun accessories will give any room a new and more put-together look.

Think vases and bowls, wall art and rugs.

When adding accessories, look for colors that complement what is already in the room.

Plants and flowers can also add energy and color, some with the added bonus of a pleasant aroma.

Furniture Renewal One easy way to update furniture on a budget is by recovering it or using slip covers.

Premade covers are available in a wide variety of fabrics and designs, or you can create a custom cover for your sofa or armchair.

More ambitious crafters may actually reupholster furniture to create a completely new-looking seating option.

After repadding and covering cushions, sand and stain or paint wood pieces for a completely modern feel.

Modern Flooring Carpet has seen better

days? Replace it.

Hardwood is scuffed and dull? Refinish it.

You can also achieve the look of natural wood or stone flooring with luxury vinyl tile.

This affordable option is no longer your grandmother’s vinyl, now available in a variety of natural finishes that are both durable and modern.

If replacing isn’t in your budget, simply give your flooring a good cleaning and use accent rugs to cover blemished areas.

Check off a project on your home improvement to-do list this weekend, and enjoy the results through spring and beyond.

*Deciding On (Continued from page 5B) are, and ask if they’re targeted to specific areas.

Targeted sprayers can get to caked-on baking dishes so you don’t have to prerinse or scrub them. Prerinsing can waste up to 20 gallons of water!

Using a dishwasher doesn’t just save time; it also saves water.

Hand-washing dishes can use 27 gallons of water vs. one cycle in a dishwasher that uses 3 gallons of water.

Even with a bare-bones decorating budget, you can still give your home a fresh look for spring.

It just takes a bit of creativity and an open mind.

One of the easiest and least expensive ways to spruce up your home is to subtract from what’s in it. Removing clutter is just one low-cost, high-impact tip for giving your home a seasonal lift.

Clear the clutter. In the winter, it’s comforting to have stacks of books and magazines on coffee tables, and throws on couches.

In the spring, you want open and airy.

Put books on shelves, and magazines in a rack or basket. Tuck the throws in the linen closet, and pack away knick-knacks for a few months.

Rearrange the furniture. Try floating furniture in the room rather than hugging the walls.

It’s a great trick for making the space feel different and less structured.

Swap out an item in your living room for one in your bedroom, or slide something from the kitchen into the dining room.

Spring for some color. A few touches of bright, saturated color can refresh any decor, and distract the eye from items that might be a bit dated.

No one will notice a worn coffee table if it has a bold, oversized vase sitting on it.

There’s no need to break the bank. Think about pillows or placemats to incorporate the colors you want.

Accessorize. You can change your towels, shower curtain and bath accessories for less than $100.

Jar candles are another inexpensive way to create an inviting room environment.

Seasonal scents like honeysuckle, freesia and spring tulip add color, freshness and intoxicating fragrance.

Go sheer. Replace heavy draperies with bright, lightweight curtains or sheers.

You won’t believe the difference it can make.

Just let them hang and blow in the breeze.

Remake your bed. Put away that heavy comforter

Removing clutter is just one low-cost, high-impact tip for giving your home a seasonal lift.

Assess your artwork. Is your wall decor warm and cozy?

Switch out a few pieces for something lighter and brighter.

Plant an idea. Put at least one house plant in every room.

Fill a low planter or kitchen serving dish with potting soil and some grass seed.

When the grass is a few inches high, add Easter eggs or seashells for a conversation-starting centerpiece.

or quilt in favor of a lighter bedspread.

Mix and match solid-colored fitted and top sheets with pillowcases in various patterns.

Tuck the top sheet tightly all around and fold the edge at the head of the bed over your coverlet or blanket.

Fold your bedspread down to rest across the foot of the bed.

Add accent pillows to create an inviting, luxuriouslooking bed.
