TOWN HALL PROPOSED

in Vermont Part 1

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@ denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY Ñ In early 2012, Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin (D) signed a bill into law making the Green Mountain State the first to ban fracking.

FrackingÑ short for induced hydraulic fracturing or hydrofracturingÑ may be controversial, but it is proving to be a highly successful means of extracting oil and natural gas from the groundÑ at least in more energy independent-minded states.

With its fracking ban, and after Vermont Yankee closes, most of the stateÕ s energy sources will be imported.

The ongoing controversy of running a natural gas pipeline through Addison CountyÑ to carry Canadian natural gas derived from frackingÑ continues to fire-up environmental CONTINUED ON PAGE 18

Divided Middlebury voters will have their say on Town Meeting Day, March 4, to decide the construction of a new town hall, next to the public library, and a new recreation center, on Creek Road at the old Legion site. The opposition to the plan dislike the alleged “back door” deal between the town and college and high cost. But proponents say it’s time to abandon the current town offices due to “disrepair” and asbestos. Yet some ask why the building wasn’t maintained all along? Regardless of your position, the die will be cast on Town Meeting Day. Art by Breadloaf

Flying halfway around the The times they are changing world for a little jade pig T H

ard-core collectors—of everything from Hummel figurines and vinyl LPs to postage stamps and die-cast model automobilesÑ are everywhere. In some cases, youthful collecting hobbies can become an entrŽ e to a future career, maybe a later-in-life career change, or just a satisfying, sometimes costly, lifetime leisure pursuit.

For example, my fatherÕ s high school friend started collecting stamps and coins at the age of seven, before World War II. Now deceased, he owned and operated a successful coin shop in my hometownÑ and he treated his collectorÕ s passions with the ritualistic gestures of an OCD victim, carefully donning white archival gloves, with stainless steel tweezers, to handle the lifeless objects of his affection.

My childhood friend Tony, an attorney by trade, is a serious gemstone collector; itÕ s a leisuretime passion that has taken him, solo or with his wife, on various collecting adventures around the world. Late last year he flew, alone, to exotic Hong Kong in order to shop the former British Crown ColonyÕ s famous Kowloon Jade Market.

The Hong Kong Jade Market, as it’s officially known, is located at the junction of Kansu and Battery streets in the Yau Ma Tei district of Kowloon, across the harbor from the towered city of Victoria and its great granite massif known as Victoria Peak.

At the Jade Market you will see buyers, sellers and traders converging to deal in everything Ò jadeÓ Ñ from cheap costume jewelry to ancient works of art. This metamorphic, silicate mineral comes in a variety of colorsÑ from white to blue, and of course, familiar green.

More than 400 vendor stalls line Jade Street. And there you will hear a cacophony of Chinese, English—even German, French and Portuguese—spoken as these metamorphic trinkets and fine works of art are bought and sold. Tourists abound at the market, but serious gemstone hunters conduct business there, too.

On the third day of TonyÕ s stay in Hong Kong in November, he returned to the Jade Market, via ferry boat from his hotel, for a second, hours-long expedition through the vendor stalls. At one stall, he spotted a $2,000 delicate, genuine circa 1368Ð 1644 C.E. Ming Dynasty jade pig and it was love at first sight. He purchased and boxed up the artifact to carry home with him on the return flight. Ò Delicate Ming jade pigsÑ which took months to carve by handÑ have soared in value all because word has spread about a local housewife who won the Hong Kong Jockey ClubÕ s Mark Six Lottery wearing just such a Ming jade pig amulet; she bought the pig at the direction of a soothsayer. The superstitious locals have been buying these things at rising prices ever since,Ó he said.

“You mean you flew all the way to Hong Kong to buy a $2,000 antique metamorphic pig that’s not much bigger than a Presidential Dollar Coin?Ó I asked. Ò Sure. Why not?Ó he replied. Ò I know it sounds frivolous; youÕ re not a serious collector. But this venerable little pig has brought me joy.Ó Really? A tiny artifact of jade? Well, who am I to judge? People place value on all kinds of things that may appear worthless to others.

Perhaps thereÕ s something to the Hong Kong superstition that jade pigs bring you luck in both money and love (or even the illusion of inner tranquility). When you consider our brief sojourn on Earth, thatÕ s probably the most anyone can hope for from the mortal and material things we cling to in this, the fleeting of all possible worlds.

FFA Week 2014: Local students plan for futures on the land

SUGAR LINE — At the Hannaford Career Center’s Sugar Works, students are prepping for sugaring season by checking lines, replacing tubing, tapping, and cleaning the tanks and pans. “Our goals are to make desirable high quality syrup. We also aim to manage an efficient sugar bush with good healthy maples,” said Derek Whitcomb.

FFA MEETING — The Middlebury FFA chapter participated in several exciting events during the 2013-14 academic year. Pictured here are Middlebury FFA members playing some team building activities at our north campus building during our first full chapter meeting. “Our dairy judging team went out to National Convention in Kentucky. We had teams compete in the soils CDE in Randolph and at the farm show for Dairy and Forestry CDEs,” according to Cheryl Werner.

By Lou Varricchio

lou@addison-eagle.com MIDDLEBURY Ñ This week marks National FFA Week across this great land. FFA, also known as Future Farmers of America, was founded by a group of young farmers back in 1928, when Vermonter Calvin Coolidge was President of the United States.

Its mission is to prepare future generations for the challenges of feeding a growing population. FFAÕ s founding members taught generations that agriculture is more than planting and harvestingÑ itÕ s a science, itÕ s a business, and itÕ s an art.

FFA continues to help the next generation rise up to meet new agricultural challenges by helping its young members to develop their own unique talents and explore their interests in a broad range of career pathways.

So today, FFA is still the Future Farmers of America. But, members are the future biologists, future chemists, future veterinarians, future engineers and future entrepreneurs of America. FFA has had a long history in Vermont education, too, especially in agricultural Addison County. The tradition continues today at the Hannaford Career Center in Middlebury.

Hannaford students involved in FFA programs are bright and enthusiastic; many are interested in careers either working the land or working in agribusiness and agriscience.

At the Hannaford Career Center, FFA-member student Jacob Williams said that during the past semester his forestry class learned the importance of proper drainage. Ò I learned that it is essential to have 4 percent drainage for the pipe to drain correctly,Ó Williams said. Ò The Forestry and Natural Resources program has also taught me about heavy equipment safety, operation, and maintenance.Ó Eric Huestis, another FFA-member student at the Hannaford Center, finds arboriculture to be the next “big thing” in the forestry world. Ò Climbing trees is fun but yet challenging,Ó Huestis said. Ò ItÕ s something we all like to do at the HCC. We learn all sorts of knots and how to work in trees. These skills are essential for power companies and tree services.Ó For student Nathan Fefee, the FFA Forestry and Natural Resources program teaches students how to operate equipment. Ò We work with animals, and land surveying. I directed an excavator operator how far to dig down. Land surveying is how we measured out the lines for the barn foundation we built at the HCC North Campus.Ó Student Derek Whitcomb enjoyed the Vermont tradition of sugaring. Ò At HCC Sugar Works we are prepping for sugaring season by check lines, replacing tubing, tapping, and cleaning the tanks and pans,Ó Whitcomb said. Ò Our goals are to make desirable high quality syrup. We also aim to manage an efficient sugar bush with good healthy maples.Ó And Jacob Codding, a student with an interest in forestry, Ò We learned chainsaw safety and also how to harvest and sell firewood. Here we learn heavy equipment operation, and how to skid logs from the woods. We also learn to safely cut down trees.Ó As FFA Week is celebrated nationwide, the annual event continues to have special relevance to VermontÕ s youth who plan to live and work the land around them.

“This past semester our forestry class learned the importance of proper drainage,” according to Jacob Williams of the Hannaford Center. “I learned that it is essential to have 4 percent drainage for the pipe to drain correctly. The Forestry and Natural Resources program has also taught me about heavy equipment safety, operation, and maintenance.”

TREE CUTTING — Student Jacob Codding employs chainsaw safety methods he learned through the Hannaford Center’s FFA program.

“We also learn to safely cut down trees,” he said.

Middlebury FFA students at the Hannaford Career Center’s north campus Deep Roots Farm, worked on installing a new barn foundation during the fall of the 2013-14 academic year. Students currently raise chickens, swine and vegetables at the farm and look forward to being able to pursue other projects once the barn is completed.

Learning is key to FFA mission

Hundreds of agricultural education thought leaders, highereducation executives and business professionals converged for a three-day summit focusing on the future of experiential learning in school-based agricultural education.

A joint project of the National Council for Agricultural Education and the National FFA Organization, the 2014 National Agriculture Education Summit was Jan. 28-30. The theme of this yearÕ s event, held at the Sheraton Indianapolis Hotel, focused on renewal of experiential learning and supervised agricultural experiences within agricultural education. Ò As the nation begins to deal with the skills gap that exists

between current educational components and what will be needed for the future workforce, the general education community is looking to experiential learning as a key solution,Ó said National Council for Agricultural Education Managing Director Mike Honeycutt. Ò Changes in our industry and demographics are challenging teachers to find ways to meaningfully engage all students through experiential learning. The summit brings together a variety of national leaders in agricultural education to study, debate and seek solutions to the barriers we face,Ó Honeycutt.

FFA Week: Middlebury FFA members

By Janice Bosworth Special to the Eale MIDDLEBURY Ñ The Middlebury FFA Chapter is comprised of students enrolled in agriculture courses here at the Patricia A Hannaford Career Center.

Each year FFA students compete in a variety of FFA career development events or CDEs. From judging livestock, to forestry products/management, dairy products, parliamentary procedures and farm business management; these events provide a venue in which FFA members demonstrate their ability to apply classroom knowledge to real-life situations.

The competitions are staged at the state level and winners are eligible to represent Vermont at the events held at the FFA National Convention.

This year, Middlebury FFA Dairy Cattle Evaluation and Management Team took top honors in Vermont. They were one of 41 teams participating in the National FFA Dairy Cattle Evaluation and Management CDE. This is a competitive event that tests the studentÕ s ability to select and manage quality dairy cattle. Event components include six classes of dairy cattle, herd record evaluation and dairy management team activity.

The event was held in at the 86th National FFA Convention in Louisville, Ky., in October.

BLUE JACKETS — Middleburry FFA’s Janice Bosworth, advisor, with students Justina Baker, Kristen Gosselin, Jordan Hubbell, April Rheaume.

The team, led by advisor Janice Bosworth, was awarded a Silver emblem.

Members also competed for individual awards with 160 other participants.

Justina Baker received a Bronze emblem, Kristen Gosselin received a Gold emblem, Jordan Hubbell received a Gold emblem, and April Rheaume received a Bronze emblem.

The team would like to express their utmost thanks and gratitude to several individuals who spent personal time coaching them along the way.

Tom Hickley of Phoenix Feeds for his expertise in dairy cattle feeds and nutrition, Dr. Joe Klopfenstein for guidance in

herd health and production records, Robin Severy for working through DHIA records with us and last but most definitely not least Harold Deering for the countless hours of practice evaluating dairy cattle and formulating oral reasons.

Middlebury FFA members pay for their competition costs with the moneys that the chapter raises through citrus sales, greenhouse sales and the FFA Dairy Bar and Food Booth which the students run at the Addison County Field Days.

The communityÕ s patronage is helping to supply students with opportunities through the FFA.

How to cut costs on your home improvement project O

ver the last several decades, more and more homeowners have embraced the notion that homes need not all be alike, and that an individualÕ s home can cater to his or her personal tastes and needs. The trend of modeling a home after oneÕ s own tastes has extended beyond choosing furniture or other replaceable elements to structural changes and full-scale renovations, thus upping the financial ante for homeowners who want to turn their homes into places more in tune with their own personalities.

When it comes to improving their homes, many homeowners associate cutting costs with cutting corners, which can put residentsÕ safety at risk. But there are ways for homeowners to save money on home improvement projects while still ensuring their homes are safe and sound. * Work with recycled materials. Homeowners about to undertake small-scale do-it-yourself projects can often save money by using recycled materials. Many homeowners do not go the DIY route when making larger renovations, but those that do also can save money by using recycled materials. However, homeowners should know that many contractors do not work with recycled materials in an effort to avoid liability should something go awry during the project or after it is completed. But DIYers can benefit from using recycled materials, which can be purchased at various locations. For example, Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit organization devoted to building homes for the less fortunate, operates its own ReStores, which are nonprofit home improvement stores that sell recycled building materials at a steep discount.

ReStore locations can be found by visiting www.habitat.org. * Get your hands dirty. Labor costs on home improvement projects are considerable, but homeowners can cut these costs by doing some of the labor themselves. Even those men and women with little or no DIY experience can still chip in and save some money. Homeowners about to embark on a rebuilding project can chip in and do some of the demolition on their own. For example, when replacing sidewalks, homeowners can simply break up and remove the existing sidewalk on their own rather than paying their contractors to do such work for them. ItÕ s best for homeowners to leave interior labor to the professionals, as they are more knowledgeable about how to find load-bearing walls and plumbing fixtures than the average weekend warrior homeowner. Homeowners who mistakenly take out fixtures inside their homes in an attempt to cut down on labor costs might find such miscues are far more costly than simply paying for the labor from the get-go. * Remember how flattering imitation can be. As the old adage goes, “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” Homeowners working on tight budgets can opt for imitation materials that appear and feel just like more costly authentic materials. When opting for imitation materials, homeowners should know that they

Homeowners willing and able to chip in on home improvement projects can bring the costs of labor down considerably. or their representatives cannot falsely represent the materials as authentic when selling the home, no matter how much materials look and feel like the real thing. * Schedule projects during the offseason. Like many professionals, contractors have busy seasons and seasons that tend to be slow. These seasons can change depending on geography, but homeowners can save money by postponing projects until the slow season, when contractors are more likely to offer discounts in an attempt to stay busy and continue to generate income. Savings will vary depending on a variety of factors, but itÕ s not unlikely that patient homeowners willing to wait until the offseason to renovate their homes can save as much as 5 percent on the overall cost of the project.

* Try not to customize. Though the driving force behind many home improvement projects is to create a dream home that caters to homeownersÕ individual needs, going overboard with customizing is expensive. Larger-than-normal dimensions may seem like a great idea, but unless theyÕ re absolutely necessary, theyÕ re best avoided by budget-conscious homeowners. Building supplies are sold at certain dimensions because those dimensions are the most common. Altering these dimensions unnecessarily is only driving up the cost of the project, so itÕ s best to stick with stock sizes when money is tight.

Home improvement projects are often expensive undertakings. But such endeavors need not break the bank.

Nine ways to improve curb appeal

Ceramic...

H

omeowners who want their homes to make strong first impressions must prioritize curb appeal. Homes with strong curb appeal sell well and can impart a welcoming feel to all visitors. Improving curb appeal need not be expensive, and the following are a handful of ways to improve the appearance of your home.

1. Install a bold-looking door in a vibrant color or one with a custom design. This helps the home stand out from other properties in the neighborhood.

2. Edge the driveway to create a distinct border between the driveway and the lawn or other landscaping features. This helps homes appear neat and well kept.

3. Use outdoor lighting to make a home more inviting. Outdoor lighting also makes properties safer to traverse at night.

4. Clean a homeÕ s exterior to remove mildew or discolorations from the siding, driveway, patio, and other outdoor elements.

5. Improve landscapes with fresh plants and seasonal color. Homeowners without the time to plant can consider container gardens, which donÕ t take much time to assemble but still add appeal to a homeÕ s exterior.

6. Prune planting beds and add new mulch to restore color.

7. Add shutters and accent trim to a homeÕ s exterior to improve on the beauty of the house.

8. Install new fencing or give a fresh coat of paint or stain to an existing fence.

9. Replace concrete paths with tile or stone walkways to make entryways more impressive and inviting.

How to reduce home improvement project waste T

he home improvement industry has grown considerably over the last several decades, as homeowners increasingly took steps to turn their homes into personal oases. But such projects often produce substantial amounts of waste, negatively impacting the environment as a result.

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, an estimated 170 million tons of building construction, renovation and demolition-derived wastes were generated in 2003, a year when the housing market was thriving and homeowners were not shying away from costly home improvement projects. With the housing market once again on the rebound, the home improvement industry figures to benefit once again.

There are steps eco-conscious homeowners can take to reduce waste while improving their homes. * Save salvageable materials. Some materials simply must be discarded when making improvements to a home. But many more materials can be salvaged. When making renovations to a home, separate materials like lumber, hardware, fixtures, and even appliances that can be salvaged from those materials that must be discarded. Many communities are home to organizations that collect salvageable materials, and these materials can be reused by fellow homeowners or other organizations down the road.

* Speak to contractors about recycling. Contractors working on a home typically know which materials can be recycled in a given area. When discussing prospective projects with contractors, homeowners can mention their willingness to recycle materials. Wood is a versatile material that can be turned into reclaimed or composite wood products, including decks or other items used around the home. Old wood being removed from a home may even work as mulch, which homeowners can spread around their yards to add aesthetic appeal and protect plants on hot summer days. Even asphalt and concrete can be recycled into new products, and homeowners should discuss their wishes to recycle as many materials as possible. * Choose recycled content building materials. Another way to reduce home improvement project waste is to make use of other homeownersÕ discarded materials. Recycled content building materials are products that include materials recycled from previous projects. These once-sparse materials are now commonplace, and labels often include the percentages of postconsumer and recovered materials used in each product. Materials such as drywall, insulation, kitchen countertops, glass tiles, carpeting and carpet padding may include recycled content, and the growing popularity of such products has made them relatively simple for homeowners to find. When working

with contractors, homeowners should emphasize their desire to use materials made from recycled content. Such materials are both pleasing to the eye and the environment. * Embrace adaptability when designing a new home. Rarely do homeowners design their homes with renovations in mind.

When building a dream home, homeowners do not consider the likelihood that they will one day move out or even outgrow the home. Estimates vary considerably with regard to how long the average homeowner stays in his home, with some suggesting as little as seven years. While data collected from the United States Census Bureau within the last decade suggests that roughly half of all homeowners had lived in their homes for at least 10 years.

Homeowners building new homes should expect to one day move, and ensuring their new homes are easily adaptable is both financially sound and eco-friendly. When a home is built with adaptability in mind, prospective buyers wonÕ t have to make costly overhauls. In addition, homes built to facilitate future renovations wonÕ t produce the same amount of waste as homes that are less easily adapted.

Many homeowners embrace home improvement projects as opportunities to turn their home

How to repair and replace window screens

W

indow screens can let fresh air into a home while preventing insects and outdoor critters from making their way inside. But screens are far less effective at keeping critters out of a home when theyÕ re damaged.

Addressing such damage is typically an easy do-it-yourself project, one that begins with gathering the right materials, including: * new screening, either synthetic or aluminum * a rubber spline * a screen rolling tool * a razor knife or sharp scissor * measuring tape * masking tape * a screwdriver or an awl Once those materials have been gathered, the process of replacing or repairing damaged screens is rather simple.

1. Measure the area of the window to determine how much replacement screening you will need. Remember to leave extra room in your measurements so you have slack to make the new screen fit taut. The measurement will also help you determine how much spline you will need.

2. Remove the screen from the window frame. Some windows do not have removable screen frames, and you will have to work on the screen in its upright position.

3. Use the screwdriver or awl to pry the edge of the existing spline that holds the screening material in the frame. Pull out the old spline and remove the damaged screening.

4. Measure the new screening from a replacement roll. Lay the screening down on the frame, ensuring there is overhang on all sides. If necessary, use masking tape to temporarily secure the screening to the frame while freeing up your hands. This also works if you must replace screening vertically and cannot remove the window frame and make repairs on a flat surface.

5. Take a new piece of rubber spline and push it into the edge of the screen frame, securing a corner of the new screening to the frame. Continue to press the spline around the perimeter of the screen frame firmly into the groove with the screen rolling tool, which looks like a small pizza cutter. This effectively secures the screen into the frame.

6. Continue around the edge of the frame, pulling the new screening taut as you go. This helps to keep it free of wrinkles.

7. Once you have inserted the spline all the way around, cut it off from the spline spool and push in the edge.

8. Use a razor knife or sharp scissor to cut off the excess screening, being careful not to dislodge it from behind the spline when cutting.

9. Replace the screen in the window.

In the case of small tears in a screen, a complete replacement

may not be necessary. Home improvement stores sell screen patch kits. Some work by cutting out a piece of patch that is attached to an adhesive backing and sticking it over the hole. Other patches are small, woven wires that can be threaded through the hole in the screen. A really small hole can be mended with a drop of clear-drying glue.

The same method of screen replacement can be used to replace screens on screened-in porches, aluminum doors or sliding patio doors. Just be sure to purchase replacement screening that will fit the dimensions.

Practice garage and workshop smarts

C

ompleting home improvement projects on your own can be both rewarding and financially responsible. A growing number of homeowners are dabbling in doit-yourself projects, recognizing both the personal and financial rewards of such undertakings. As more and more homeowners perform their own renovations and other improvement projects, many are outfitting their homes with state-of-the-art workshops and transforming garages into a do-it-yourselferÕ s paradise.

Safety is vital in any workshop. During a typical home renovation, homeowners will use all sorts of dangerous tools and chemicals, and even the simplest mishap can result in a serious injury.

Following safety rules can reduce the risk of injury.

Never surprise anyone who is working with power tools and keep unnecessary people out of the workshop, where they might chat and distract others from the tasks at hand.

Know your tools

Power cords strewn around the workshop present a tripping hazard. They also make it possible to drag sharp or heavy tools off of tables and workbenches if the cords are pulled or tripped over. A neat workshop is a safer workshop. Pay attention to where tools are kept and keep cords manageable.

Before novice do-it-yourselfers begin working with power tools, they should familiarize themselves with their ownersÕ manuals and the operating instructions. Some home-improvement retailers offer classes in various home renovation projects and may be able to teach tool usage. Do-it-yourselfers should consult professionals with regard to proper tool use and safety.

Do not use tools for purposes other than what the tool was intended to do. If machine guards are provided, they should be used and never removed.

Assess physical well-being

Do-it-yourselfers should never work with machinery if they are feeling sick or fatigued or while taking medication that can affect concentration or alertness. All it takes is a moment of distraction to cause an injury.

Factor in ergonomics

Failure to work in comfortable conditions can result in repetition injuries or muscle strain. Make the workshop as comfortable as possible. Ensure the work table is at the right height. Use a rubber mat on the floor to reduce standing fatigue. Have a stool or chair available for taking breaks.

Keep a clean shop

Dress appropriately

Loose clothing and hair can become tangled or lodged in equipment. Do not wear jewelry. Dress comfortably but appropriately for the workshop, being sure to wear sturdy shoes.

Lock it up

Children and pets are curious and may wander into a workshop to explore. They can become seriously ill or injured by the bevy of chemicals and tools used for common projects. Some

Recognizing termite damage in your home

H

ome ownership can be an unending series of adventures, especially for those homeowners who love good home improvement projects. Some projects are fun and improve the value of a home instantly, while others are undertaken to address a potentially serious issue.

Discovering that termites are taking up residence where you live can be disconcerting, but termites are a very common occurrence. Understanding termites and recognizing the signs of termite damage early on can help homeowners reduce the havoc that such critters can wreak on their homes.

Termites are social insects that live together in colonies. These colonies eat nonstop, dining on wood and other cellulose plant matter. They also eat materials made from plants, like fabric and paper. According to the National Pest Management Association, termites cause more than $5 billion in property damage a year.

Studies show that queen termites can live up to decades under ideal climate conditions while workers and soldiers live approximately one to two years.

While there are many varieties of termites, all are silent destroyers capable of chewing undetected through housing structures. To eradicate termites, homeowners must first identify the insects and then contact a termite management specialist to address the pest problem.

Spotting termites

Termites may not always be visible. Subterranean termite homes are usually formed in soil, where the termites build elaborate tunnel systems that channel through to above-ground food sources. Drywood and dampwood termites may live within the wood they consume and be undetectable until the wood collapses or rots away. Homeowners often realize they have a termite problem when they witness swarming termites. At this

57024

point there already may be a mature colony at work damaging a home. Swarming, winged termites form in a mature, established colony. Winged termites emerge and fly off looking for mates.

Afterward they will locate a new breeding site and form another colony, potentially spreading infestations through multiple locations. Winged termites are attracted to light and can be seen by windows and doors in spring.

Other signs of termites include accumulation of soil or dirt at the base of wood structures or the foundation of a home. There also may be fissures or cracks near wood surfaces. Sometimes Ò frassÓ or termite droppings can be seen. They appear as rough, granulated sawdust. Covered mud tubes, or channels of mud leading from the soil up the foundation of a home, are indicative of the presence of termites. Even if termites are no longer present in these tubes, that does not mean the termites have moved on.

They simply may have chosen a new path to your home.

Treating termites

It is very difficult for homeowners to get rid of termites by themselves. Very often they require the work of professionals. A termite exterminator will conduct a visual inspection of a home and property and may do extensive testing involving expensive acoustic or infrared equipment to probe the soil beneath the house.

Depending on the species of termite, the exterminator will suggest various treatments. These may include the application of pesticides and making areas around the home less hospitable to termites. Severely damaged wood may need to be removed and replaced.

Termites are problematic in many areas of the world. These insects often stay hidden and do serious damage that can cost homeowners a fortune. Treating termites promptly is essential.

items are flammable and sharp and should always be out of reach. Locking cabinets and drawers can keep tools inaccessible.

Also warn youngsters against entering the workshop unattended.

As more people engage in do-it-yourself projects, homeowners should reacquaint themselves with safety procedures.

Home improvement tips learned the hard way T

is the season for home improvement projects, and weekend warriors will soon be visiting home supply retailers to buy everything from paint to plywood. There are many advantages to making home improvements on your own, including the opportunity to test your mettle at projects big and small.

Many a novice DIYer has learned the ups and downs of home improvement through trial and error. But the following are a handful of lessons first-timers can heed before beginning their maiden voyages into the world of DIY home improvements. * Measure twice, cut once. Perhaps this is the best-known mantra of home improvement, yet many still ignore it. Whether youÕ re anxious to get started or simply because you still cannot convert metric to standard formula, you must take the time to measure twice before cutting.

Learning that youÕ re a hair too short later will be prove frustrating and time-consuming and

often necessitates a last-minute run to the store for more materials. Always measure multiple times before making cuts. * Enlist a helper. Having a partner helping with the work is the most efficient way to tackle a project. This person can assist you with heavy lifting or moving things or by holding the ladder or simply passing tools your way. He or she also can manage work while you make another run to the home center for more supplies. Having a helper around also provides companionship during tedious projects. * Lighten the load. You run the risk of injury, both to yourself and your belongings, if you attempt to move heavy items on your own. When moving heavy items, take steps to lighten your load. For example, empty or remove drawers from desks and dressers before moving them.

Rely on sliding pads when moving furniture so items can be slid into place instead of lifted.

Always ask a buddy to help move especially

heavy items. * Prime before painting. Painting can be a time-consuming task. In an effort to save time, some people will look for painting shortcuts, and these may include skipping the priming portion of painting. Priming helps to cover existing paint color and prevent bleed-through of stains or darker hues to the next coat of paint.

Failure to use a primer could mean having to paint coat after coat, which can become costly and take up a significant amount of time. Always rely on a priming product, or look for a paint that blends a primer within to achieve better coverage. And while you are ensuring a proper paint job, remember to use painterÕ s tape or an edging product to help keep paint off of moldings and trim. * Use the right tools. The right tools make work safer and easier. Think about how much faster you can cut through a tree trunk with a chainsaw rather than a handsaw. Improvising or using the wrong tools for the job can cost you

time and increase your risk of injury. * Turn electricity off at the panel box. Be especially cautious when working with electricity, turning off the current. This means shutting down the power on the breaker box. A live wire can provide a minor shock or lead to serious injury. Take the extra time to ensure the power is off before working with any exposed wiring. * Expect the unexpected. Although many renovation projects go off without a hitch, you never know what you might uncover when you embark on repairs or remodels. Homeowners have come across all sorts of hidden problems when doing seemingly minor repairs. Removal of drywall may uncover insect damage in beams or indications of water infiltration. Some people take down old paneling, only to discover it was covering heavily damaged walls beneath. One repair project can run into another when home improvements are being made. Always leave breathing room in your budget and schedule extra time for unforeseen tasks as well.

Lighting sets the stage for outdoor fun T he arrival of warmer weather renews homeownersÕ vigor for various home improvement projects, and many have grand plans for interior and exterior renovations as they prep their living spaces for comfort, beauty and entertaining opportunities.

While there are many worthy projects to pursue, adding outdoor lighting to a home can help increase its value and make the home safer and more attractive in the evening hours.

According to the American Lighting Association, with a few updates to outside lighting, families can make even better use of their homes at night. Adding outdoor lighting is easier and less expensive than many homeowners may know, allowing them to transform an existing patio, deck or pool area into an enjoyable nighttime retreat. Pool parties, dinners on the patio or barbecues with neighbors become even more memorable when outdoor lighting is added or improved. But homeowners who want to install

or upgrade their outdoor lighting should consider the following tips, courtesy of ALA. * Improve navigation. Lighting is typically layered into a room or outdoor space in three ways: overhead, task and ambient. Even outdoors, where there are no typical boundaries and borders, those three layers are necessary.

Outdoor overhead lighting should improve visibility on steps, paths and walking surfaces, especially where thereÕ s a bend or an intersection.

Task lighting can be used around cooking or gardening areas. Ambient light will cast a comforting glow around any outdoor space. * Enhance security. To improve visibility and security, combine a motion detector with a sconce to illuminate dark corners or entryways.

Be sure to aim lights away from the door to improve visibility. Lanterns on either side of the door can give a home a warm, welcoming appearance and improve the safety of entryways. * Create outdoor rooms. Outdoor lighting at

the borders of a space is a great way to create barriers, both vertically and horizontally. Lights in a tree create something akin to a chandelier hung in the middle of the sky, and even accent lights in the general area of the edge of a patio, deck or porch will shine across the space and provide enough of a comfort level for people to understand where things are. * Reduce glare. Outdoor lighting that casts a glare can be blinding, as can light thatÕ s too bright. Lighting along paths should be cast downward, with fixtures that are hooded. A variety of lighting options will create layers, allowing you to add or subtract as necessary.

Exterior-safe dimmers also can provide flexible control over the level of light, as can movable fixtures added to a patio or porch. * Enhance views from inside. Outdoor lighting can make the view from inside pleasant and enjoyable. Use a variety of lights, including spotlights on trees, lights dotted along path-

ways and accent lights on unique landscape features, to create an idyllic landscape visible from inside the home.

Outdoor lighting enhances functionality of yards and landscapes while making such areas safer for homeowners and their guests once the sun has gone down.

The show, now halfway through its first season, follows “The Cabin KingsÓ Bakaitis and Paulie Dimeo from Extreme Home Makeover as they build participants dream cabins. Bakaitis operates out of the Bennington and Hoosick, N.Y., region where he owns Hoosick Sand and Gravel. Each week, the duo meet a new client with a wild piece of property and the dream of building a perfect outdoor getaway.

PraticoÕ s property is located on Mount Equinox, a top a parcel owned by his grandfather. Each cabin featured on the program has a twist that makes them less cabin in the woods and more upscale luxury. Past cabins have come equipped with elevators and a wood-fired hot tub. Pratico’s cabin has its own twist; one that includes a school bus, which creates enough room to fit his large family. ThatÕ s all Pratico and the showÕ s producers would say until the show airs. Pratico, a 5th grade teacher, requested his cabin have no electricity or running water as well.

Pratico heard about the television program when Ò The Cabin KingsÓ advertised for proposals in the area. After an extensive interview process, Pratico was selected to receive his dream cabin. Crews arrived in September and he enlisted the help of hundreds of volunteers to make his dream a reality. One week later, Pratico stepped foot inside the cabin he had wanted since he was a child. Now, his hometown can celebrate with him.

Oil & Gas

From page 1 activists in the state. Ò This is a big deal,Ó Shumlin said in a news conference when MontpelierÕ s fracking ban went into effect. Ò This bill will ensure that we do not inject chemicals into groundwater in a desperate pursuit for energy.Ó Despite VermontÕ s decision to forbid fracking within state lines, other statesÑ such as Pennsylvania, Texas, Colorado and North DakotaÑ are moving forward with fracking and domestic energy which produce huge budget surpluses.

Fracking is already starting to reduce the nationsÕ s oil imports and create thousands of high-paying jobs in the field and in service-support offices.

According to several news sources, including CNBC and MSNBC, by 2017 it is expected that fracking will help make the USA a world-class energy exporter againÑ up from its lowly status of a major importer of Middle-Eastern oil.

Various energy analysts foresee a rebirth of U.S. industrializationÑ thanks to cheaper homemade fracked oil and gas.

In some cases, as seen in the major fracking states, revenues generated from fracking have completely paid for education and social programsÑ all without raising property or income taxes.

When Gov. Shumlin signed VermontÔ s anti-fracking law, he may have forever shut off a tax-free way of balancing VermontÕ s budgetÑ and then some.

The fact that a small portion of Vermont sits atop oil and natural gas deposits has been known since at least the 1940s, possibly earlier. And while fracking in Vermont may be banned, drilling the old fashioned way apparently is still legal with the proper permits. Ò Dreams of oil and natural gas in the sedimentary rocks of the Champlain Lowlands have brought about surges of optimism over many years that Vermont would become an energy

An oil derrick is all that remains of a 1957 oil drilling effort in a field in St. Albans, Vt. The famous Yandow Oil Well was drilled to a depth of 4,500 feet. Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin (D) signed a bill into law making the Green Mountain State the first state to ban oil and gas fracking, but apparently drilling is still permitted.

producer,Ó according to geologist Harold Meeks who wrote a book surveying the stateÕ s resources, titled Ò VermontÕ s Land and ResourcesÓ .

Meeks’ book was first published in 1986 and provided technical details about VermontÕ s fossil fuel reserves; it also fueled interest in using new technologies to explore for deposits. Ò The most recent enthusiasm was simulated by a well drilled to depth of 12,400 feet by Shell Canada just a few miles north of the Quebec boundary,Ó Meeks wrote in the mid 1980s.

According to the University of Vermont, the Champlain Valley was formed by a deep sedimentary basin, a typical feature where biogenic oil and gas is typically found.

As early as the mid 1950s, the American Gas Association had mapped the lake region in detail and designated it as a promising source for future oil and gas development.

February 22, 2014 During the 1956-57 period, several test wells were drilled on Grand Isle and around St. Albans; there were clear oil and gas signatures but nothing of commercial value was produced in this mid-century era before the advent of advanced fracking technology.

The remains of one large commercial drilling operation, which began in 1957, can still be seen on the old Yandow Farm in St, Albans.

The now famous Yandow well was drilled to a depth of 4,500 feet. Ò The well, drilled by the Henderson Company, used a cabletool rig typical of 20th-century wells in Texas. As time passed, the wooden blocks at the base of the derrick rotted and the derrick settled on the well head, tipping it about 30 degrees,Ó according to a Vermont Geological Survey summary.

When the Bellrose family of Swanton struck a pocket of natural gas Ñ while drilling a 650-feet-deep water well, in 1957Ñ it set of the on-again, off-again mini oil and gas exploration Ò boomÓ .

This period of up and down booms , which ironically never produced anything, lasted into the mid 1970s. Ò We had a new well drilled to 650 feet deep and hooked the water into the house. After you drew it from the tap it looked and tasted like Alka Seltzer,Ó Mrs. Lawrence Bellrose reported to Harold Meeks about the 1957 drilling effort. Ò (One day) my husband went down to the cellar... he struck a match and the room lit up with a ball of fire!”

In a special report to the Vermont Legislature in 1956, then State Geologist Charles Doll announced that, Ò It is nothing new to residents of the Champlain Valley in Vermont that natural gas occurs in certain water wells... The basin of sedimentary rocks possesses geologic features that warrant the exploration of this area for oil and gas.Ó Finding oil and gas depends on detailed analysis of subsurface rocks. Structural maps of buried rock formations help geologist pinpoint where the best places to search for oil and gas.
