headquarters in Springfield, as well as sites in Chicago, Dickson Mounds, Lockport and Rend Lake.

The vote on Senate Bill 317 was 40-9, with an additional five senators voting present.

The legislation’s primary sponsor is Sen. Andy Manar, D-Bunker Hill, whose district

is home to the headquarters museum. Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Crest Hill, is a chief co-sponsor of the bill. His district is the site of the Illinois State MuseumLockport Gallery.

“The Lockport Gallery not only has aesthetic and educational value; it also has economic value,” McGuire said, adding that gallery visitors patronize shops and restaurants in downtown Lockport. “This increases sales tax

Chamber to hold fall ‘Barnyard Bash’ celebration Bash set to take place September 26 at the Jacob Henry Mansion Estate The Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce has scheduled its inaugural fall event, Boots & BBQ: “The Barnyard Bash,” for Sept. 26.

To follow up on its summer event, New Orleans North, the chamber said it will transform the Jacob Henry Mansion Estate, located on Richards Street in downtown Joliet, into the city’s very own barn party.

All of the surrounding area is invited to come celebrate the fall season with live entertainment from the band Righteous Hillbillies, as well as a barbeque buffet. Schneider Port Logistics is the presenting sponsor for the event, which offers a night full of live entertainment, a themed drink menu sponsored by The Jacob Henry Mansion Estate, and an array of themed features, such as live barnyard animals, hay bales and fire pits, a hayrack valet, lawn games, and dancing.

Following the success of New Orleans North, the Joliet Chamber of Commerce said it wanted to plan another themed event for the fall season.

Boots & BBQ: “The Barnyard Bash” is a 21+ event. Tickets are $35 for chamber members and $45 for non-chamber members. Tickets cover admission, as well as the BBQ buffet and live entertainment.

Attendees may reserve a table of 10 for $350 or also reserve a fire pit,

which comes with 10 tickets, for $500 per group.

The chamber said sponsorship opportunities are also available.

On Aug. 5, the bipartisan Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability cast an advisory vote in favor of keeping the Illinois State Museum

system open.

Despite the recommendation and a pending vote on S.B. 317 in the Illinois House, the governor said he still intends to shutter the museum, which was founded in 1877, along with its five branches.

Opinion

Legislators must earn pay EDITORIAL

By Mark Batinick State Rep | 97th District

ASSISTANT EDITOR

ANDREA EARNEST aearnest@buglenewspapers.com

815.436.2431 ext.118

LAURA KATAUSKAS • MARK GREGORY • MIKE SANDROLINI

Throughout my first year as a state representative, I have stated that it would be inappropriate for state legislators to collect pay while state employees do not during any extended budget deadlock.

Illinoisans have called for bipartisan efforts in the budget-making process, and until an agreement can be made, legislative pay has not been earned in Springfield.

I have brought forth resolutions and legislation in support of this belief.

With a similar effort, I’m happy that my colleague state Rep. David McSweeney filed House Bill 4253 in

an effort to halt legislative salaries. I am a chief co-sponsor.

This bill would apply the pressure needed to get the bipartisan budget passed that the state very much desires. No budget, no pay for legislators.

If 118 representatives and 59 senators were not getting paid, they would be pushing leadership more forcefully to come up with a compromise.

To think we are in August and still undergoing a political charade that holds our must vulnerable at risk is shameful, and I do hope that the appropriate people decide to come to the negotiating table.

I’m a very big fan of good ideas, even

ideas that aren’t my own or ideas that originated with me but were drawn as somebody else’s. As long as we enact items in Springfield that do right for Illinois, I am pleased to support them, any way they come.

House Bill 4253 is a necessary and good idea. My colleague, state Rep. C.D. Davidsmeyer, recently spoke out on the House Floor in favor of House Bill 4253. He did so due to the fact that he could not report to his valued constituents that a balanced budget has been passed.

House Bill 4253 is beneficial to Illinois.

It could apply the pressure needed to get those in power to finally come to the drawing board and pound out a solution.

It doesn’t seem possible, but summer is coming rapidly to an end.

Shorewood again has been blessed so far this season, being spared any significant storm damage unlike some of our neighboring communities.

The recent events to our south, especially our Coal City neighbors, proves to us that it can happen anywhere at any time. We continue to pray that it never does, but in case, I want you to know about our preparedness efforts.

During every severe weather event, Shorewood trained emergency personnel place themselves in distant strategic positions to alert our emergency manager about any storm threat to the village.

He or she has direct control through our West Com emergency control center to set off our area sirens.

There are now two new sirens located within the village for much better audio coverage.

Please, if you hear the sirens (other than the 10 a.m. Tuesday tests), take precautionary actions. Try to take a radio tuned to WJOL with you.

If we were ever involved with a disaster such as the one that occurred in Coal City, we have a well-trained and equipped police force that would be first on the scene to help stabilize the area.

Following immediately will be

well-trained, well-equipped public works department personnel to clear streets for emergency crews to be able to penetrate the stricken area for rescue and damage control.

We would already have activated our emergency control center in the basement of the village hall, where all activities would be coordinated.

There are alternative sites in case the hall is involved that are similarly equipped with adequate communications. From the control center, we have the capability to bring in outside help (i.e. county services, state services, as well as surrounding communities that are in a mutual aid pact with us).

The emergency center would have the emergency manager, head of public works, Troy fire representative, Shorewood police chief, village administrator and numerous staff assistants. The mayor would coordinate the emergency center, as well as make on scene inspections of the stricken area.

Last week, we had a “simulated drill” for a problem at the Dresden Nuclear Plant to our south. We activated our control center and went through six hours of intensive training.

Let me assure you that Shorewood is prepared to handle any emergency situation.

This is good news, but we can never let our guard down. Therefore, I have asked our emergency manager to

hold more drills for village employees only to ensure that everyone knows exactly what they should do in the event of such an emergency.

I want to take this moment to acknowledge some of our staff members who spent a week in Coal City aiding our neighbors, but at the same time getting invaluable experience that hopefully we never need to use here.

They are now passing this information on to the rest of the staff during in-house training sessions.

Our Administrator Roger Barrowman, along with our Public Works Superintendent Chris Drey, helped Coal City.

Some of our equipment operators from public works also were involved with the clean up.

Some police department personnel, along with Chief Klima, helped during the early hours and days of the emergency.

Mayor Halliday of Coal City called me to thank all of Shorewood for this assistance and to let me know that our people are the best and that Coal City will be by our side if ever needed.

I am proud of our people who took part in this.

In fact, we should all be proud of what they did for our neighbors.

Let me close by saying, enjoy what’s left of the summer, those cold winds are coming way too soon.

Serbfest strikes a chord with community Best of Serbian culture on display for weekend festival

By Megann Horstead for the bugle

sweditor@buglenewspapers.com @JolietILNews

Homemade ethnic cuisine and the musical stylings of eastern European entertainers were some of the favorites featured Sunday at Serbfest.

St. George Serbian Orthodox Church hosted the event, which offered the city of Joliet and surrounding communities the opportunity to experience the best of Serbian culture. The festival took place between noon and 9 p.m. at St. Joseph’s Park, 700 Theodore St. The church’s decision to host the celebration was a result of the community’s attendance at past events, such as fish fries and folklore festivals.

Vicki Petrich-Dorsey, co-chair for Serbfest, said the enthusiasm leading up to the event was fabulous.

“It’s a way for us to share our culture with the community,” she said.

Some of the excitement for the Joliet event was spread by word of mouth, which attracted attendees from throughout Will County. Gina Costello, a resident of Plainfield, said she heard about Serbfest at her Romeoville employer. She sat at a table with four friends jamming to the orchestral sounds of Veselo Selo.

Veselo Selo, an orchestral group, performed in St. Joseph’s Park as part of St. George Serbian Orthodox Church’s Serbfest in Joliet, Sunday. The group consists of a number of young people from the church.

during the same weekend as Serbfest Chicago, and the church said that helped add to the hype.

“The nice thing about the Chicago event is that it is several days long, while ours is just one day, so people are encouraged to make the rounds and take in all of the Serbian cuisine and hospitality they can,” said Chris Book, a public relations consultant for the church.

Petrich-Dorsey noted that Joliet is a diverse community that has seen a rise in Serbians and other eastern European cultures over the years.

“Joliet tends to be a central place for them,” she said, adding that St. George is home also home to other cultures through marriage.

While the church has been around since the early 1900s, its social center has been holding events for the public since the ‘60s.

Petrich-Dorsey said the church has a very open and welcoming congregation.

“As a Serbian, I like to experience other cultures,” she said, noting her fondness for the ethnic dances of

Greek, Italian and Polish cultures.

Petrich-Dorsey added that she thinks seeing the youth continuing the traditions of their Serbian great grandfathers is equally as beautiful.

“It’s so interesting to see our youth and how proud they are of our Serbian heritage,” she said.

“We’ve got multiple generations in our church.”

Children and teens in attendance at Serbfest enjoyed games and prizes. While some people enjoyed playing Bingo indoors, those outdoors grooved to the tunes of eastern European bands and orchestras.

The event drew in a number of people despite early thunderstorm forecasts. Petrich-Dorsey said the turnout at Serbfest will help determine whether the church will hold the event annually.

Pat Zakavec, a resident of Romeoville, was excited to hear the event may return next year.

“I would come back for the traditional food and music,” she said.

By Andrea Earnest bugle/Sentinel Staff

sweditor@buglenewspapers.com @ShorewoodNews

Thousands of area residents were treated to fireworks, live music, great food and a good time during Shorewood’s 39th annual Crossroads Fest last weekend.

Jane Haake and her family were among the throngs of festivalgoers.

Haake said her family walks to the annual festival -- held Aug. 7-9 Cene’s Four Seasons Park -- each year.

“Sometimes it’s just us; sometimes we meet friends here,” she said of the annual trek. Haake and her husband planned to meet their son’s family at the fest Friday evening to ride some rides and carry on the tradition.

On Saturday, the Kiwanis Club of Shorewood held its Beautiful Baby Contest, which was sponsored by the Goddard School.

“We’ve been coming here for

years,” said Lisa Rubis, whose daughter participated in the contest.

Rubis grew up in Shorewood and has been attending Crossroads Fest since she was child, remembering when the fest was held at its old location off Raven Road. She said this year’s fest is more spread out than previous years.

“It’s about the same though,” she added, referring to past festivals.

Rubis’ family was also in Sunday’s parade, adding that her father was a dentist and she is a chiropractor in town.

“We’re very involved,” she said.

The Shorewood Area Chamber of Commerce hosted this year’s event, which serves as the chief fundraising event for the chamber. The presenting sponsor for this year’s fest was Heartland Bank, but several businesses and community organizations from Shorewood and surrounding areas helped to sponsor the event.

Monster summer JCA’s Kevin Duchene opens career with A’s Short A team

By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

It has been a whirlwind few months for former Joliet Catholic Academy pitcher Kevin Duchene.

He went from helping pitch the University of Illinois into its first-ever NCAA super-regional to being swept out of it by thendefending national Vanderbilt to being drafted 158th overall by the Oakland Athletics in the Major League Baseball First Year Players Draft.

Duchene is not a part of the New York Penn League’s Vermont Lake Monsters, in Burlington Vermont, the A’s Short A affiliate.

The lefty is on a pitch limit during the season, after tossing 102 innings for the Illini, going 11-2 with a 1.075 ERA on the season.

“I threw a lot of innings in college and so I am throwing three innings every five days, kind of like a starter would be, but with an inning cap,”

158

Where Duchene was drafted by the a’s

Duchene said. “Short season A ball has been a lot of fun. I am part of a great organization in the A’s and Burlington, Vermont is a great city to get my professional career started.”

So far, Duchene said, he is learning more of the mental aspects of baseball and being a professional than he is about the physical aspects.

“I haven’t tried and change a lot,” he said. “They told me to do what I did to get here and in the offseason and in spring training, we will fix it up. I have learned a lot, but there is still a lot more to learn.

“I have learned a lot about the mental part of baseball. At this point, it is all about staying healthy. A lot of the draft picks are here and we are all in our developmental stage of our career. We are learning what the organization wants us to do and all of their requirements.

The developmental part of this organization is great. Playing for any team in professional is lucky

WrestleFest 6 coming to Romeoville Events Center Pro Wrestling Blitz is proud to call Romeoville, Illinois home for WrestleFest 6, the annual event showing the very best professional wrestling has to offer. Coming to the Edwards Athletic and Event Center on Saturday, August 15th at 6 pm, WrestleFest 6 will be home to Hall of Famers of the pro wrestling industry as well as the talented performers

monster | from page 11 and it turns out that I am lucky enough to be with the Oakland Athletics and I can’t say enough about the guys I have met. They are all here to help every single one of their players get better.

One of the things Duchene said he needs to learn about is how to fail in the game he loves.

“I haven’t really faced a whole lot of failure in the game of baseball and as I get into professional baseball that is going to change,” he said. “You play every single day and you are going to fail. What I have learned is crucial to my career. A lot of things that I’ve learned are

that hone their craft right here in the Chicagoland Area.

Superstars coming to Romeoville on Aug. 15 include WWE Hall of Famer Ricky Steamboat, tag team legends the Dudleys, and third generation superstar Chavo Guerrero Jr. Also, a NWO reunion will take over the Center with WWE Hall

of Famers Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, as well as the mastermind behind the meteoric rise of World Championship Wrestling and one of the most decorated managers in wrestling history, Eric Bischoff.

Hall of Famers and legends won’t be the only competitors at WrestleFest 6, the very best that Pro Wrestling Blitz have to offer will be

in action on Aug. 15.

The high flyer Fantastico, the monster known as Grin, the beastly tag team called Impact, and former Pro Wrestling Blitz Heavyweight Champion Melanie Cruise will all be in action.

All of these amazing performers have been entertaining the fans of the Chicagoland Area for years, and

WrestleFest is the culmination of all their hard work each year.

Tickets to this event start at $35, but kids 12 and under can get in for only $20.

Also, 1st and 2nd row seats are $55 and include a meet and greet with the Dragon Ricky Steamboat!

Tickets are on sale now at www. pwblitz.com.

maybe not even about baseball, but life lessons from guys who have played in the big leagues and have had the prestige of being a part of an organization.

I am learning firsthand accounts and hearing different scenarios and it is helping me shape what I would like to do with my career and how to keep everything balanced and how to be successful and accept failure.”

One of the guys teaching Duchene about that is Lake Monsters’ manager Aaron Nieckula.

“He tells us stories about the big leaguers he has played with and what makes them

successful,” Duchene said.

“He taught me about being an entrepreneur in the sense that it is my career and that I can do with it what I want to, that has come from him. He is a great guy. He is a great influence on all of us.”

Duchene and Nieckula have more to talk about than just baseball, however, as the manager is a Yorkville native and also played collegiately for the Illini.

“We talk about eating Portillo’s hot dogs and beef and people don’t understand what kind of a treat that is and it is nice being able to relate to someone

who has things familiar to you,” Duchene said.

The Major Leagues are familiar with Joliet-area pitchers, such as hurlers former like Mark Grant, Kevin Cameron, Chris Michalak, Billy Petrick and Steve Parris and current arms Mike

Foltynewicz and Tanner Roark.

Duchene hopes that he and Illinois teammate and Lemont native Tyler Jay can add to the list.

“We hope we can make that Joliet area proud,” Duchene said.

column Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

Water comes into play on several holes on Coyote Run, including the par-3 13th.

risk and reward Coyote Run rewards the smart players as much as risky ones For the first time we reviewed a course south of Interstate 80 as we played Coyote Run Golf Course in Flossmoor.

The course starts with four consecutive short par-4s, a great chance to start off you round with some great scoring.

The first hole plays just 360 from the tips and 33 from the white tees.

You have to drive over water and there are bunkers that could trap up a long drive just short of the green and a bunker to the left of the green.

Next is a 339-yard par-4 that plays straight and slightly uphill at the green. It is a large green, but it is important to hit your approach to the right area or a three-putt could ensue.

The third hole is 348 yards and has bunkers off the fairway and a bunker in front of the green, to the right.

It is followed by a risk-reward par4, my favorite hole on the course.

That is because I drove the green and

made birdie. It plays just 280 from the white tees, but plays over some water and a large group of bunkers in front of the green. Unless you can play a fade, which is my natural taylor’s take shot, laying by scott taylor up is the best option. I was able to bend it left-to-right around the bunkers and up to the green.

The fifth hole is just 135 yards from the white, but is 215 from the blue. It, too is played over water, although it shouldn’t come into play, similar to the previous water holes.

So, from the white tees, you shouldn’t have more than a wedge as an approach into the greens (at least I didn’t), through the first five holes. Unfortunately, my iron game

is struggling right now and I made four bogeys with the birdie.

The sixth hole offers another short wedge approach shot. It plays at 500 yards that doglegs right with a creek in front of the green, almost forcing a layup. The green has a big slope from front to back, so it is important to land on the same side as the hole.

The seventh hole is a difficult par4 at 373 yards. Water lines the left portion of the fairway, making the hole play longer as you have to bail out right. A 133-yard par-3 follows (over water) and the front nine finishes with a 533-yard par-5, which bends right.

The back nine starts with a dogleg left par-4, which plays 420 yards and is slightly uphill at the green.

The 11th is a 163-yard par-3 and is followed by a short, but difficult par-4. At just 306 yards, the fairway shrinks towards the water in front of the green, making it a challenging driving hole.

The 13th is another par-3 over water and the 14th is a straightaway par-5 at 491 yards. The 15th hole is another risk/reward hole at 305 yards with a dogleg right. The fairway slopes towards the water on the right, and there is out of bounds left. Many

will lay up and hit an iron into the green over the water. I went for the green and landed in a perfect spot, 50 yards short and left of the green, nearly out of bounds. Of course, I still failed to make par. It does get very tight around the green.

One more par-3 over water (161 yards) follows and then there is the final par-5 at 510 yards, which doglegs left.

The final hole is a slight dogleg right that plays just 340 yards but with bunkers surrounding the greens.

Overall I enjoyed playing the course. It offered good scoring holes and risk/reward holes. They also had some holes where you had to play smart and take your medicine.

Unfortunately, with all the play out there (which is a good thing as well) the greens are filled with ball marks. While this might affect your putting from time to time, it is still worth coming out to play.

The fact that it is just $52 during the week to play for nonresidents is even more reason to make the trip to play the course. The weekend fees are very reasonable as well at $62.

All in all, this is definitely a place to visit.

Overview coyote run Location: Flossmoor, Illinois best feature: First four holes play short for good early scoring potential. quick tip: There are several holes where players need to play smart.

Local golfer wins Illinois Open with record score

By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

David Cooke Cooke captured the Illinois Open title with a 54-hole total of 199 (71-65-63), good for a five-stroke victory over Web.com professional Vince Indiad. The victory matches the largest margin of victory by an amateur since Gary Hallberg in 1977.

It has been an emotional year for former Raider David Cooke.

In December his younger brother, Chad, died while playing a pick-up basketball game. Two weeks ago, Cooke put on a show at the 66th Illinois Open – setting records along the way.

The 2011 Bolingbrook High School graduate carded a record score of 199, 16-under-par, at Royal Melbourne Country Club, in Long Grove, beating Web.com pro Vince India (11-under 204).

His 128 total over the final 36 holes was also a tourney mark in the Illinois PGA event.

Cooke’s five-shot win matched the largest margin of victory by an amateur in tournament history - equaling Gary Hallberg’s winning margin in 1977.

The 22-year-old Cooke opened his final round with an eagle.

After a good drive, he nailed a

144-yard pitching wedge to six feet and dropped the putt for an eagle. That broke his threeround tie with Brad Marek, who birdied.

When he has holes like that, Cooke said he thinks he has some extra help from his brother.

“I have had that feeling in the last six months or so,” Cooke said. “There are some holes where I feel like he is helping out up there. Chad was a fan of the Illinois Open. There are certain things like when I make a huge putt or hit a shot that is a lot closer than I thought it was going to be and everything is going my way, I feel that he is watching over me.”

After the opening eagle, he

posted two more birdies, then birdied the fifth and eighth holes to go out in 6-under 30, building a four-stroke lead over India at the turn. Cooke bested the next low amateur, Lincolnshire’s Jack Watson, by 13 strokes.

“It was something I’ve related to for a few years and something I’ve paid attention to. This is something I have had friends play in so it is something I was happy to succeed in,” Cooke said. “The difference maker for me is when I am hitting the ball close with my shorter clubs and making putts. When I get into a groove and know the distance I am hitting them really makes a

difference.

“This course was a good balance. It rewarded hitting the ball far, but you had to be in the fairway. It was very playable, but you had to be spot on. The greens were really undulating and you had to control the spin going into the green. Getting the ball close on the approach shot was important because you had shorter putts and you had to make sure you converted into birdies.”

Cooke won a pair of tournaments at North Carolina State University last season, but it was nice for him to win on Illinois soil.

“It is awesome being one of the first players to come out of Bolingbrook high school and pursue golf and play in college,” he said. “My high school golf coach (Chuck Marik) is a big supporter of mine. I was a big basketball player in high school and he was the one that told me

I could really do something with it. So, being able to make them proud and show them that what happened in high school was a big deal was nice. Playing at Bolingbrook High School was where it started.

“Being in school in North Carolina, they don’t get to see it firsthand. Being able to play well in front of a home crowd was really cool. It makes me feel proud of what I accomplished.”

The timing of the Illinois Open was also important to Cooke, as it followed the weekend of the inaugural Chad Cooke Classic basketball tournament in Lisle.

The tournament was run by Charleston Hope, a College of Charleston student-run charity that is run by Chad’s girlfriend Emily Hoisington and something Chad was passionate about.

Cooke wore the Charleston Hope logo on the final day of the tournament.

“I wanted to wear it because it was the first time Emily would

see me play. Having her there watching me for the first time, I wanted to show her how much it means to me that I can be a part of the foundation by wearing that shirt on the last day,” he said. “It was a bonus that I got to take pictures in it with the trophy. That charity meant a lot to Chad and it means a lot to me.”

Cooke will enter his senior season at NC State, where his goal is to limit his bad rounds and be an All-American this season before looking to turn professional next year.

Winning the Illinois Open is motivation heading back to school, but Cooke said being motivated hasn’t been an issue, as he plays for Chad.

“I have been trying to stay motivated for him and I know that he would want me to chase my dreams and I know this make him proud,” he said.

Inexpensive ways to boost a home’s curb appeal A well-maintained landscape can dramatically improve a home’s curb appeal

Curb appeal can go a long way toward making a home more attractive to its inhabitants as well as prospective buyers once the house is put on the market.

Improving curb appeal is a goal for many homeowners, and while many projects aimed at making homes more aesthetically appealing can be costly, there are ways for cost-conscious homeowners to improve their properties without breaking the bank.

Put your green thumb to use A well-maintained landscape can dramatically improve a home’s curb appeal.

Pay attention to the plants, shrubs and trees throughout your property, watering them during periods of little rainfall and trimming them when necessary so your lawn does not look like an overgrown, neglected suburban jungle. Professional landscaping services can help you maintain your property, but even if your budget does not allow for such an expense, you can still make sure your landscape adds to your home’s appeal by keeping a watchful eye on the property and addressing any issues that arise. Maintain your lawn through the colder months of the year as well, making sure no one walks on the

grass when frost has settled, as doing so can produce dead spots throughout the lawn.

Redo your front door While their eyes may initially be drawn to a well-manicured lawn, prospective buyers will eventually find their way to the front door. If your door is especially old, consider replacing it. If your budget does not allow for such an expense, you can still give your home’s front entrance an entirely new look by installing some inexpensive molding around the door before giving the door a fresh coat of paint.

Molding around the front door can make an entrance more impressive, while a new coat of paint can make a home feel warmer and more vibrant.

Plant flowers Another inexpensive way to make a home more appealing is to plant some colorful flowers around the property. Line walkways with flowers native to your region, as such plants will last longer than exotic alternatives that may not be capable of adapting to the local climate. In addition to lining walkways, hang window boxes filled with colorful flowers or plants outside naked windows.

Doing so can make windows seem larger and add some color to your home’s exterior.

Another creative way to make use of colorful flowers is to place a few planters at the foot of your driveway and painting the numbers of your address on the planters. This can be both effortless and inexpensive, but it can instantly make a home more inviting to prospective buyers.

quick tips

Quick guide to replacing home siding 1

Choose a qualified contractor

It is important for consumers to do their research when it comes to siding materials and contractors. A contractor who takes shortcuts or improperly installs the siding may void a manufacturer’s warranty. Always ask family members and friends for recommendations before choosing a contractor, and check out each prospective contractor’s work for yourself.

Interview more than one contractor and compare both their costs and what they offer. Ask plenty of questions of the contractors, and avoid those who try hard-sell methods. Questionable contractors may try strategies like a promise of a considerable discount if you “act now” or scare tactics that your home is unsafe in its present condition.

Be sure the contractor carries general liability insurance as well as workers’ compensation insurance for their subcontractors. Ask for a license number as well and verify its accuracy.

2

Select a durable material

Siding comes in all types of materials — from

wood to plastic to fiber cement — but vinyl is among the most popular due to cost and availability. Research how well particular brands of siding stand up to conditions and which are the least likely to crack, warp or discolor. Find this information from online reviews or through consumer advocacy groups. Also remember, vinyl and other synthetic materials have improved and can now mimic the look of many other materials for a fraction of the cost.

3

Calculate how much you need

Before you price out siding with contractors, estimate how much you will need for your house. Consumer Reports suggests multiplying the height times the width of each rectangular section of your house in feet, going by what you can measure from the ground, to determine their areas. Multiply the approximate height and width of gables and other triangular surfaces and divide each total by two. Then add all the totals. To allow for waste, don’t subtract for doors, windows or other areas that won’t be covered. Finally, divide the total square footage by 100 to estimate how many squares of siding you will need.

stock photo

Maintaining plant life on a property won’t cost homeowners a lot of money, but such an effort can add substantial curb appeal to a home.

Spotlight certain parts of your property Many homeowners focus on improving the curb appeal of their property during the daytime hours, but you can take steps to make a home more appealing at night as well.

Solar spotlights placed around trees and other attractive features in your yard can shed light on those areas of your property you’re most

proud of, even after the sun has gone down.

Solar spotlights won’t add to your energy bill, as they are powered by the sun, and they can make certain accents on your property stand out at night.

Improving curb appeal may sound like a significant undertaking, but there are many ways budget-conscious homeowners can make their home’s exterior more appealing without going broke.

Easy tips for a healthy lifestyle #buglehealth Wedn esday, Aug ust 12, 2015 | joli etbug le.com

How to make exercise more enjoyable Think outside the box and find activities that you like to do

Sedentary lifestyles can be dangerous to human health.

Numerous studies have linked sedentary lifestyles to various diseases, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke. But in spite of those connections, sedentary lifestyles are on the rise.

According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from the Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention, both men and women are engaging in physical activity a lot less frequently than in years past. The survey, which examined data between 1988 and 2010, found that women who reported not engaging in physical activity rose from 19 percent to 52 percent, while figures for men rose from 11 percent to 43 percent.

Many men and women find physical activity unenjoyable, which may make it difficult for them to include exercise in their daily routines. The following are some approaches men and women living sedentary lifestyles can take to make physical activity more enjoyable.

Find activities you like. Physical activity is not limited to working out in a gym. Many adults find gyms great and motivational places to get in shape, while others are bored by strength-training or intimidated by gyms. Finding a physical activity you enjoy increases the chances that you will make exercise a part of your daily routine. Yoga, walking and cycling are just a few of the many physical activities that can help you live a less sedentary life.

1

• Get a workout buddy. Another way to make exercise more enjoyable is to enlist a friend to workout with you. Friends can supply motivation on those days when you don’t feel like working out while also making workouts more enjoyable by sharing

2

a few laughs as you lift weights, walk around the neighborhood or engage in whatever physical activity you do together.

3

• Set specific goals. Exercise also becomes more enjoyable when you establish specific goals that give you something tangible to work toward.

You are more likely to enjoy what you’re doing if you reach your goals along the

23

way than if you don’t set any goals and simply go through the motions. You also can reward yourself for reaching certain goals, which will undoubtedly make your efforts more enjoyable.

• Involve other interests in your exercise routine. If exercise truly bores you, find ways to incorporate your other interests into your workout routine. Rather than spending 30 to 60 minutes simply running on a treadmill, take your tablet along with you and stream your favorite television shows. If possible, catch up on reading while you ride the exercise bike.
