“We were amazed and deeply moved by the incredible response to our call for help.”

The idea for the “Share the Warmth” campaign was originally born in October 2007, when WCFR’s new Station Manager Ray Kimball and SEVCA staff first met to discuss the impending crisis they feared would occur in the upcoming winter.

As fuel prices escalated and winter loomed, the steady stream of anxious phone calls to SEVCA requesting fuel assistance reached panic proportions.

This is Share the Warmth’s 3rd year and SEVCA is expanding the fund’s range to include housing assistance, which is now the most critical hardship for many lowincome residents.

“After all, sharing the warmth won’t do any good if people don’t have a home to keep warm,” noted Geller.

The campaign will continue to include SEVCA staff interviews to highlight the agency’s array of services, as well as focus on clients’ actual experiences.

People will hear about what their neighbors are going through just to meet their basic needs, including the sometimes desperate and dangerous measures taken to keep warm.”

Anyone wishing to donate may drop their donation off at the “Good Buy” stores during the “Share the Warmth” Campaign, or send a check to SEVCA, 91 Buck Drive, Westminster, VT 05158, or call 722-4575 to charge their gift to their credit card or to get more information.

Donate To Share The Warmth Campaign Southeastern Vermont Community Action (SEVCA) and WCFR radio kicked off the “Share the Warmth” Campaign on September 28 at the Springfield Royal Diner with Governor Jim Douglas and Lieutenant Governor Brian Dubie.

This year, the campaign is being sponsored by Cota & Cota, Walnut Hill Realty, and the Valley Yellow Pages.

The “Share the Warmth” Fund has been used to help households who can’t be served by the federally-funded fuel assistance program for one reason or another.

Many of those served by the fund are working households who may earn just too much to be eligible, but still can’t afford a fuel delivery. Last winter, in the campaign’s 2nd year, local businesses, churches, organizations, and individuals in Windham and Windsor counties stepped up to truly “share the warmth” and donate over $46,000 to help local residents heat their homes, more than double the previous year ’s total.

Over the last year, many more people have been touched by the economic crisis, and awareness of these issues has become much more widespread.

The Vermont State Fuel Office reported that statewide it received 40,924 applications seeking Seasonal Fuel Assistance, but only 26,285 of those households were eligible.

The Share the Warmth fund helped fill the gap in this area. “We were able to help a lot of people in need who had been denied assistance, such as seniors and the working poor,” explained Executive Director Steve

Stratton Citizens Committee Meeting

Jamaica Closes Successful Season

SVAC Presents The Design Room The Southern Vermont Arts Center (SVAC) is pleased to announce the fall incarnation of The Design Room: A Collaboration of Art and Design.

Area designer Lisa Laberge has employed paintings by SVAC artist members in her unique room treatment and transformed Yester House Gallery’s Gallery X into a work of art unto itself.

Laberge, whose design studio is located on Route 30 in Dorset, has been decorating homes in the Manchester area for almost a decade and whose philosophy is rooted in the classic steps

of interior design.

After a recent trip to Provence and the French Riviera, Lisa’s design aesthetic was influenced by the sights, scents and color palette of the South of France, and is weaving the French ‘art of living well’ into her current design projects.

The paintings that decorate the room as well as the inspired furnishings, fabrics and decorative items provided by the designers, will be for sale.

SVAC is just off West Road in Manchester and is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Also visit www.svac.org.

standards be met, which is a State responsibility; and the complementary and sometimes competing roles that are played by State and Federal government, developers, citizens and citizens action committees in protecting the waters in Vermont.

The history of the Stratton Area Citizens Committee was presented by long-time SACC member, William Uptegrove. The speaker touched on landmark decisions resulting from historic actions taken by the Stratton Area Citizens Committee, including the first ever designation of Pikes Falls as an Outstanding Resource Water; the first ever reclassification of Kidder Brook as Class A; the establishment of a plan to restore impaired waters at the Stratton Mountain Resort, subject to annual review.

Panelists emphasized the need for citizens to be keenly aware of water quality issues in their communities, to work with the State whenever possible, and to let their Legislators know of any local concerns that need to be addressed.

Black River Middle School Soccer On A Roll Story by Joe Milliken Sports Editor Photos courtesy of Bruce Schmidt The Black River Middle School girls’ soccer team recently enjoyed a stretch of games that saw them take three-out-of-four matches in a week’s time.

Traveling to West Rutland to begin the week and after a rough start, Black River scored four unanswered goals, with two from Sarah Rumrill and two more from Morgan Kathan.

“How you handle challenges as the game begins is the mark of a good team,” Black River coach Bruce Schmidt stated after the game.

“These girls figured it out and turned things around quickly.”

Schmidt also lauded the play of Katie Cloutier and Theressa Abbott in the goal as well as the midfield play of Gabriele Miele.

On Wednesday, the Proctor Lady Phantoms came to town and Ludlow knew they were going to be in for a real game. “I was concerned

that Proctor would come in here with a bitter taste in their mouth after we beat them up there,” said Coach Schmidt. And he was right.

Black River never adjusted to their “on the ground” passing and aggressive defense as well as their strong goalie. However, Black River ’s front line of Abigail Schmidt, Morgan Kathan and Sarah Rumrill kept the Proctor defense running.

At 14:40 of the first half Morgan Kathan sent a ball into the goal area and Sarah Rumrill slid one past the Proctor Keeper.

Schmidt commended the play of Sara Stryhas and Hannah Livingston.

“Hannah is a strong player either on the field or in the goal. She has a knack of how to play the game and she is fearless,” commented Schmidt.

Hanna Vanguilder also played a strong game along with Brooke Willard.

On Thursday, the Lady Presidents were back on the field against Leland & Gray and were looking to avenge the loss less than 24 hours before.

The goals came early and often with Ludlow ending the game with a 80 win. The offense really spread it around with Sarah Rumrill – 3 goals, Abigail Schmidt – 2 goals, Morgan Kathan – 2 goals, Kateri Collins – 1

goal and Hanna Tobey her first assist of the season.

“The girls played much better against L&G than they did against Proctor,” commented assistant Coach Betsey Caldwell.

Friday saw the fourth and final game for the week was against Weathersfield.

Weathersfield struck first with a penalty kick after a hand ball in the box.

However, Black River came back with six unanswered goals to win 6-1. Goals came from sarah Rumrill (two), Morgan Kathan (two), Abigail Schmidt and Blakely Gilmore.

“Hanna Vanguilder played some front line and missed two shots by inches away from the goal posts,” coach Schmidt added.

“Brook Willard played a strong midfield and is really developing into a better player as the season goes along.”

Ludlow’s Michael “Mi-Jay” Davis Wins Rutland Fair Karaoke Contest Ludlow’s Michael "MiJay" Davis won the Rutland Fair Karaoke Contest.

This is the second karaoke contest he has entered and he has won both.

MiJay works at Christophers and is always singing in the weekly Karaoke nights.

According to his co-workers, eveyone loves when he takes a break and hops in the lineup to sing.

“ We would love to see him on American Idol and feel he has a great music future ahead of him,” said Christopher ’s owner Susan McNeely “He is not afraid of hard work and has overcome many obstacles in his path. While his favorite genre is country he does well with rock, too. A couple of the bands that have played at Christopher's have requested him to sing with them while they are performing here.”

News from the Rutland County Humane Society The washing machine at the Rutland County Humane Society (RCHS) is currently broken and we are waiting for a part.

As a result, the animals are running out of clean bedding.

If you have any old comforters, blankets, sheets, towels or other similar items and can donate them to RCHS for the animals, they would really appreciate it. If you have any questions please contact the shelter at 4836700.

I am a friendly dog who enjoys high energy games.

I am also very toy motivated and could spend all day playing. I arrived at RCHS on August 2 because the landlord does not allow

pets.

I have never lived with cats or other dogs before so if your family already has pets then proper introductions are a must.

Due to previous history with resource guarding, RCHS recommends that I go to a home with children aged 10 and up.

CROWN POINT BUILDERS, INC.

Ludlow Streetscapes invites you to take a chance on winning Spring Blooms, a one-of-a-kind uniquely decorated “certified green” cherry wood milking stool created for the Throwdown At The Charity Hoedown fundraiser taking place over Columbus Day weekend on Saturday, October 10 under the tents behind the Pot Belly Restaurant on Main Street in Ludlow.

Artist Dawn Paczkowski captures some of our most beloved flowers in this vibrant piece and we quickly decided that this gorgeous milking stool would brighten up any home and had to be our Raffle Stool for this charity event.

To provide everyone with a chance to view Spring Blooms in person, the milking stool has been alternating between Chittenden and Berkshire Banks during the week and can be viewed at The Wine & Cheese Depot on the weekends. It is also making special appearances at the Friday Ludlow Farmers Market held in front of OMS on Main Street.

Raffle tickets sell for $5 each or three for $10 and all proceeds will benefit Ludlow Streetscapes with its Brightening up Ludlow lighting improvements and beautification projects in the Village.

The drawing will take place on Saturday, October 10 and although raffle participants need not be present to win we encourage everyone to dust off your boots, shine your bling, grab your cowboy hat and join us for a night of food, auction fun and dancing.

Buy your tickets on-line at www.ludlowstreetscapes.org or at Chittenden Bank, The Wine & Cheese Depot or The Book Nook in Ludlow before October 7.

Chili Cookoff Names Judges Retired chef Contessa D. LaPasta is lending her culinary experience as a taste-tester at the 19th Annual Ludlow Rotary Chili Cook-off on Saturday, October 10.

Cavendish resident LaPasta, also known locally as Vicki Corrao, joins fellow judges retired Ludlow Fire Chief Richard Harrison and local landscaper Wayne Hammond.

LaPasta, who winters in Pompano Beach, FL, is the founder of three New York City restaurants, a trade writer for “Today’s Restaurant News” and a frequent cooking contest judge.

Meanwhile, the deadline nears to enter the contest. All that’s needed are three gallons of chili in a pot with a serving spoon and a $10 entry fee. The Rotary Club will provide the table, Sterno and customer service.

An entry form may be obtained from Rotarian Glenn Heitsmith at 228-

8666.

The Rotary Club Chili Cook-Off will take place rain or shine in a large tent at the corner of Depot and Main streets – by the traffic light – in the center of downtown Ludlow. The tasting starts at 11 a.m. and continues until the last chili is ladled out, usually by 2 p.m.

A $6 admission entitles Chili Cook-Off visitors to all the chili they can eat, as well as bread, cider and ice cream. Proceeds from the Annual Chili Cook-Off benefit Rotary projects and the Black River Valley Senior Center, which serves residents of Andover, Cavendish, Ludlow, Plymouth and Weston.

Cash prizes will be awarded in three "People's Choice" categories – $100 to win, $50 to place and $25 to show. Judges' awards will recognize the Best Chili, the Spiciest Chili and the chili served with the best Team Spirit.

Hole-In-One At Okemo Valley Golf Course On Thursday, September 17 Jay Girouard, of Ludlow, Vt., made a hole-in-one at Okemo Valley Golf Club.

Fellow golfers Tom Harris, Dave Hoeh and Mark Huntley witnessed the feat. This ace was the ninth of the season at Okemo Valley Golf Club.

Wayne Blanchard, Andrea Carlson Join BFUHS Guidance Department Submitted by Suzanne Groenewold With the start of the school year now underway, the Bellows Falls Union High School Guidance Office can now take a little breather.

The Director of Guidance, Martina Mattison and her staff have been busy all summer helping students with their high school schedules and planning for college.

Wayne Blanchard has joined the BFUHS guidance department to focus on students at risk for dropping out of school.

Having worked as a high school guidance

councelor for over 30 years, Blanchard says his goal will be to help students create a plan to graduate and work with them to help them successfully complete the plan.

"I think students who create a personal development portfolio have a better focus,” said Blanchard. “By meeting with students in groups and helping them to document what they have accomplished, and helping them set goals for the future, it seems to make a difference in how they apply themselves. “ He also brings a lot of experience with college

counseling and will help students explore choices for further education.

"Although it may seem a little strange to talk about post secondary education with at risk students,” he said, “I think that even students who are not happy with school need to think about their education in terms of what further education and training they need to support themselves."

Another new addition to the guidance department, is Andrea Carlson, although she is not new to BFUHS, having served for the past eight years as a Counselor in the high

school's Special Education Department.

Her past work includes working with at risk youth who were struggling at home and at school through Windham County Youth Services, and as Student Assistant Program Counselor.

In 2001 Carlson came to BFUHS and helped to create the Learning For Success(LFS) Program which is a special education program for students with emotional and behavioral disabilities.

The BFUHS Guidance office can be reached at 463-3944 ext. 206.

Black River Shuts Out Terriers Story and photos by Joe Milliken - Editor On a chilly afternoon in Westminster, the Black River High School boy’s soccer team got two goals from senior captain Kippie Turco, which would be all the scoring they’d need in a 2-0 shut out win over the Bellows Falls Terriers.

In a match that did not generate much offense from either team early on, the Presidents finally began controlling the play by the mid-point of the half, including a crossbar-wringing shot from senior Benjamin Farrow and a couple other blasts that went just wide of the BF goal posts.

As the Black River pressure mounted, BF keeper Chas Soboleski kept the score in check, until Turco finally broke the ice with a blast from the top of the box that snuck just inside the left post for a 1-0 Presidents lead. The assist came from Dillon Normyle.

To Bellows Falls’ credit however they never let up, producing a threat of their own in the closing minutes of the half, but after to headers off corner kicks both sailed wide,

the score was 1-0 ,at the half.

The presidents had nearly 20 shots at the half and forced Soboleski to reach double-figures in saves.

Unfortunately for the home team the second half would remain much of the same, with Black River carrying most of the play.

The defensive work of Victor Cucuillo and James Greenwood helped keep BF’s offense out of sync, while the offensive efforts of Jake Covelle, Turco and Farrow kept the pressure on, before Turco would notch his second goal on a nice give-and-go feed from Noah Schmidt for the 2-0 lead.

The Black River held the Terriers in check the rest of the way for an impressive, 2-0 win on the road.

Clockwise from upper right, the Bellows Falls’ Jason Garciabealba sneaks past a BR defender, Black River’s Chris Kowalski makes a diving save, Bellows Falls goal keeper Chaz Soboleski goes up in traffic to make a save off a corner kick and Kippie Turco makes a move on BF’s Eric Laliberte.

Lady Chiefs Fall Short Against Twin Valley Story and photos by Joe Milliken - Sports Editor In a recent home match up in Chester, The Green Mountain Union High School girls' soccer team fell behind early and played catch-up the rest of the way, in a 4-3 loss to Twin Valley.

The loss put the Lady Chiefs at 5-2 (at press time) on the season.

It perhaps could have been a different outcome however, if not for a couple undisciplined corner kicks that resulted in two Twin Valley goals in the first half, which forced Green Mountain to play from behind throughout the match.

Lady Wildcat freshman Abbi Molner got the first goal (36:48) off a rebound

on a corner kick, before senior captain Devon Spirka made it 2-0 on a nice shot from the top of the box that barely bent under the crossbar.

In between these two goals however, the Lady Chiefs also had their opportunities to get on the board but couldn't knock one home.

Three shots from Lindsay Walton, all from inside the box, and another blast from Alaina Savage hit the crossbar, but somehow Twin valley kept Green mountain at bay early on.

However the Lady Chiefs kept working hard and finally started to click offensively, getting two, first half

goals from Walton on a tap in from point-blank range and a penalty kick, but a late Wildcat goal from Desiree Mack kept the lead at two, just before Walton's penalty kick.

In the second half a goal from Rainie Hill got the Lady Chiefs to within one goal again, but sophomore goal keeper Elizabeth Aekus shut down Green Mountain the rest of the way to preserve the one-goal win for Twin Valley.

Clockwise from top, Green Mountain sophomore Rainie Hill takes a shot between two defenders; Lady Chief senior Ashley Raiston makes a play; Green Mountain senior Lindsey Walton fires a shot on net.

The campaign raised $600,000 to re-build the jump, which was completed in time to host a competition in February 2009.

Spectacular weather and publicity boasting the newest, 90-meter, Olympic sized ski jump in the East, brought over 6,000 spectators and jumpers from across the U.S. as well as Austria and Slovenia to the competition.

"We still have 82 of the 187 steps for sale, so people in the community, businesses and groups that want to be part of this amazing story still can,” explained Pat Howell, fundraising cochair along with Richards. “Liz and I made a pact while we were painting the numbers on the steps in August, dodging hornets and the hot sun. We promised each other

we’d continue to fundraise until all the steps were sold,” Howell added.

Brattleboro can boast the only 90-meter jump in New England. “We have a facility with so much new potential for hosting international ski jumping events as well as multipurpose uses to consider,” said Richards.

“With more donors, we

could work on the wish list of projects to make the hill more efficient to run during competitions and more cost-effective manage and maintain.”

Local Musician’s Spotlight

Jatoba Story by Robert F. Smith – Editor Band Photo Courtesy of Jatoba Guitar Photo is a National 0-14 Reso-Phonic Courtesy of Tom Geriak A few months ago, at the initial Barnaby’s Backroad Barbeque in Rockingham, I finally had a chance to hear a band that was getting a lot of buzz - Jatoba.

Concert organizer Josh Hearne had been bending my ear about the band for quite a while, and I respect Josh’s musical opinions.

He was dead on about Jotoba. While the Barnaby’s event wasn’t exactly inside, you could say that Jotoba rocked the barbeque, and would have blown the doors off for sure, if there were any, and they did it with acoustic instruments – guitar, mandolin, banjo and bass.

Jatoba is made up of Jeff Richardson, double bass, Jason Scaggs, guitar, banjo and mandolin, and John Jamison, guitar, mandolin and sitar. They all sing, and harmony is a basic part of the Jatoba experience. As is the occasional Mohawk haircut.

Jatoba is a part of the music scene that music industry executives tend to hate, because it can be pigeonholed or easily categorized, and that musicians and listeners love - for the exact same reasons.

Referred to variously as roots music or alternative or indie or alt.country or alt.folk or newgrass, it’s been around for quite a while and gaining new listeners all the time. The members of Jatoba are typical in that they’ve been open to dozens of musical influences – bluegrass, metal, jazz, pop, Classical, country, reggae, funk, folk, rock, blues, world music and more – and they’ve used those influences to shape their own unique sound.

That seems a common thread in Roots music – find what’s good and authentic in any kind of music, not necessarily what’s the most commercially popular, and build from that. As you’ll see in the interview below, that’s what Jatoba has done.

To see the band live, they will be playing at Stratton Village this Saturday, October 10 at noon, on October 15 at Flat Street Brewery in Brattleboro at 9 p.m., On Halloween, Saturday, October 31, they’ll be playing Barnaby’s Halloween Harvest Hoedown at 34 Meetinghouse Road in Rockingham.

This past weekend, I asked the band a few questions about their music, What are your influences?

All of us have different musical backgrounds, so our influences vary heavily. We are all huge fans of rock bands like Ween, Phish, Radiohead, and Led Zeppelin, but we also pull inspiration from Peter Rowan, Tony Rice, John Hartford, David Grisman, Martin Sexton, Michael Hedges, and a host of other acoustic artists.

Who did you grow up liking and listening to, and who are your favorite musicians now?

We are all products of the 90's, so bands like Nirvana, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stone Temple Pilots,The Doors, The Grateful Dead, and Pearl Jam were a big part of our childhood musical experiences.

Now our music preferences have switched gears, and we tend to listen much more to jazz greats like Miles Davis and Charles Mingus, as well as hip-hop and electronic music, such as Air, Theivery Coporation, and Buck 65.

Where did you first meet?

Jason and John both grew up in Roanoke, VA. They met at a party one night in high school and jammed out there, and have been playing music ever since. Jason moved to Brattleboro in 2004, met Jeff in 2005 through

a mutual friend, and started a rock band called Phil And The Fuzz. John eventually moved out from Colorado to join that band, and when we discontinued that project, Jatoba was spawned.

How did you come to create the band? I mean, did you proceed with the idea of creating this type of sound, or did you start playing together and develop it organically?

John and Jason actually started Jatoba with the goal of doing a progressive acoustic rock type of style. When Jeff joined them playing the double bass, the bluegrass aspect of our music really started to develop. Over the past year or so, we have come to hone in our sound, and create the type of music that we play.

Who plays what?

John Jamison plays the acoustic guitar, mandolin, and sitar. Jason Scaggs plays several acoustic guitars in various tunings, the baritone acoustic guitar, and the banjo. Jeff Richardson plays the double bass, and on occasion the spoons. We all sing in harmony, and on a few tunes beat-box and do other sorts of vocal improvisation.

How did you learn to play?

Listening, practice, and constant experimentation.

Featuring a repertoire of songs from the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and present day, the Boston-based group has been entertaining New England audiences with a variety of pop, rock, and country artist favorites for more than 13 years.

Their repertoire ranges from The Carpenters (There’s a Kind of a Hush)

to The Beatles (Got to Get Into My Life) to The Spice Girls (Wannabe), with visits to ABBA (SOS), Christina Aguilera (Come On Over, Baby) and The Eurythmics (Thorn In My Side) along the way.

It’s Cajun & Creole Dance Music At Boccelli’s With Yankee Chank On Saturday October 17 from 7 to 10 p.m. the Louisiana Saturday Night dance party welcomes Vermont's own Yankee Chank for a good time Cajun Dance Party at Boccelli's on the Canal, in beautiful downtown Bellows Falls.

Yankee Chank is Vermont's longest running band exclusively dedicated to traditional Cajun & Creole dance music of southwest Louisiana.

Featuring Bob Naess on fiddle and vocals, Cannon Labrie on button accordian & vocals, Jim Burns on guitar and Mark Sustic on bass, Yankee Chank has been playing traditional Cajun music since early 1996. Drawn together by a passion for Cajun and Zydeco music, Yankee Chank is led by Bob Naess of Cavendish, an accomplished and highly regarded fiddler, with at least 25 years of experience playing Cajun music. The group features fiddle, Cajun style button accordion, guitar and bass, specializing in old-time Cajun two-steps and waltzes as they continue to be played in the rural dance halls and honky tonks of Louisiana today, along with some Creole Zydeco sounds thrown in for extra spice.

It should be noted that "Cajun" music is the music of the white Acadian settlers of rural, southwest Louisiana, reflecting a

variety of influences, from European folk music, the blues, music of the French and English Caribbean, hilbilly and country music, and even western swing.

"Creole" music, including but not limited to "zydeco" music, is the music of the black French Caribbean people of rural Louisiana.

Evolving side by side, Cajun & Creole music have continuously intertwined, and the music of Yankee Chank notably reflects the group's fondness for the legacy of the great Creole duo, Bois Sec Ardoin and Canray Fontenot, as well as that of the Cajun fiddler Dewey Balfa, and the late great Cajun accordianist Nathan Abshire.

The event will begin with a brief Cajun dance workshop, taught by Louisiana native Pete Simoneaux of the New Hampshire based Lil Orphans.

Admission is $10. (There is no cover to eat at Boccelli's Restaurant.)

Boccelli's features excellent, freshly made Italian cuisine, specialty groceries and desserts, a good selection of affordable wines & microbrews, all in a casual café environment, with a scenic waterfront view.

Joe’s take on New Music

Review by Joe Milliken - Editor Living Colour has recently enjoyed a revival of sorts, after having reunited in 2008 for a tour, which culminated in the release of a live DVD and CD recorded at the famed CBGB club and then, their first studio album in over 10 years (fifth overall) just released last month.

That revival now continues with the release of The Paris Concert, a 2-CD package featuring 17 tracks recorded in July of 2007 at the infamous New Morning Club in Paris.

Like Fishbone, Kings X and Bad Brains before them, Living Colour is a unique blend of rock, metal and funk, always s t re t c h i n g and blending the boundries o f a l l t h re e , a n d t h e Paris Concert set does

not disappoint.

The band's music is often political and controversial, touching upon a wide range of social commentary.

F ro m t h e b u s i n e s s exploitations of " Ty p e " , t o t h e l o v i n g angst of "Love Rears it's Ugly Head" to the racist overtones of " F u n n y Vi b e " , L i v i n g Colour never took the easy way out or chose path of least resistance with the messages in their songs.

A couple of nice cover twists in the set

list, including the Temptations "Papa Was A Rolling Stone" and the Jimi Hendrix classic “ C ro s s t o w n Tr a ff i c , " m i x i n n i c e l y with newer cuts like " N o v a / Wa l l " and "Sacred Ground."

O f c o u r s e t h e re a re also plenty of fan f a v o r i t e s t h ro u g h o u t the set including Ignorance Is Bliss," "Memories Can't Wait", "Glamour Boys" and of course, the showstopping closer and the band's biggest hit with "Cult Of Personality."

Despite their relative successes and a loyal following, Living Colour never got the t r u e re c o g n i t i o n t h e y deserved as being innovative artists who b o re t h e i r o w n p a t h through the New York C i t y u n d e rg ro u n d a n d into the national spotlight.

New Windows Of Opportunity For Home Energy Savings Courtesy of NAPS Most energy experts agree that in an average American household, windows are often a significant factor in home energy loss.

Most people know from experience that windows also contribute to uncomfortable winter drafts, even if they are still in very good condition.

This is because even windows that are relatively new and structurally sound, may not be very energy efficient.

Unfortunately, many homeowners think the only way to solve this problem is to buy expensive replacement windows. But there are better, more cost-effective options.

A newly released government study indicates that simply adding storm windows to existing windows can make them just as energy efficient as new, high end replacement options at a fraction of the cost.

That's good news for homeowners.

An average size storm window may cost $50-$70, whereas a replacement window of the same size could easily run $300-400, plus installation.

Storm windows are easy to install, without the need to pull out windows and tear into walls.

While storm windows have traditionally been installed on

the outside of a house over existing windows, a new model has recently been developed that can be easily mounted from inside the home.

According to Miss June Eng of Larson Manufacturing, makers of the Insider (inside) storm windows, it's simply a matter of a few small screws to put up a track on the inside of the window frame.

Then the windows easily slide in and out each season.

The Insider is perfect for people who won't or can't install outside storm windows.

"Some types of homes don't work for outside storm windows," says Eng. "Plus, these are perfect for people with 'crank-out' windows and can be comfortably installed even when it's freezing cold outside."

Like all storm windows, they help save energy, reduce drafts and as an added bonus, make homes much quieter.

So if your existing windows are not leaking, rotting away or warping, you might want to look at storm windows as an economical answer to rising energy costs.

For more information on the government window study, visit stormwindowsamoney.com for more information about inside and outside storm window options, visit www.larsonstormwindows.com.

Get Your Sprinkler System Set For Cold Weather Courtesy of NAPS The sprinkler system that spent all summer keeping your lawn and landscape beautiful, while saving water, time and money, now needs a little help getting ready to withstand the onset of winter and colder temperatures.

Here are tips from the experts at Rain Bird that can help protect your irrigation system: • Stay In Control--If you have an automatic system, then you will need to "shut down" the controller (timer).

Most controllers have a "rain" or "off" mode that simply shuts off the signals to the valves. The controller continues to keep time, the programming information (start times, valve run times, etc.) isn't lost and the clock continues to run.

The only change is that the valves will not activate.

An alternative to using that mode is to simply shut off the power to the controller.

If you do, you'll need to reprogram the time and potentially all the other settings when the weather warms up.

• Insulate Your Assets--Shut off the water supply to the irrigation system and protect the main shutoff valve against freezing.

Make sure the valve is wrapped with insulation (foam insulation tape and a plastic bag). If you don't have a main shutoff valve, install one and consider it a preventative investment.

Any above-ground piping needs to be insulated as well. Self-sticking, foam-insulating tape or foaminsulating tubes commonly found at home supply stores work well.

• Drain The Pipes--People in very cold areas often remove the water from the pipes and sprinklers so it doesn't freeze and cause the pipes to burst.

There are several ways to drain pipes: manual drain valves, automatic drain valves or the compressed air blowout method.

Since there could be potential safety risks, contacting an irrigation specialist is a good idea.

• Protect Backflow Preventers--Insulate backflow preventers and valves if they are above ground.

You can also use insulation tape for this, but be careful not to block the air vents and drain outlets on backflow preventers.

It's important to consult an irrigation specialist, such as those at Rain Bird, before you attempt to

winterize your system.

• Learn More--For more irrigation tips as well as information on where to find a specialist to help you winterize your system, visit www.rainbird.com or call (800) RAINBIRD.

Honeycrisp – The Apple that Revolutionized an Industry

Story by Robert F. Smith – Editor Photo Courtesy of Dutton’s In this part of the country, the name Allen Brothers is synonomous with apples. So, when Russell Allen kept telling me that I ought to write an article about the impact of one variety – the Honeycrisp – on the United States’ apple industry, I figured he had a good reason.

Russell is about as knowledgable about apples as any living human, and not a man given to hyperbole.

“We bought our first orchard in 1956,” he said, “so I’ve been growing apples for over 50 years.

This is the first variety that has come down the pike that has revolutionized the industry. The Jonagold didn’t do it, and neither did the Spy Gold. The Honeycrisp has.”

The Honeycrisp was developed in 1991 at the University of Minnesota from a Macoun and Honeygold cross, with the Honeygold itself a cross between the

Golden Delicious and Haralson. The result is an apple of outstanding size, flavor texture, color and storageablility that hit the orchards in 1995.

It’s a great crisp, eating apple and its flavor will enhance any cooked dish that includes apples. The University said the Honeycrisp was “the best, most exciting apple we've ever introduced.”

Russell said that Allen Brothers weren’t the first to catch on to the value of a Honeycrisp, but they have been growing and selling them for 12 years now. Ray Mark at Wellwood Orchards has been growing them for the last few years as well.

“It’s a good apple and people love them,” Mark said. “They are a little harder to manage, but outside of that they’re a really good tree.”

Honeycrisps are also a valuable apple, and have more than taken over the top spot that Macintosh apples once held in this country.

“It’s changed the whole industry,” Russell said. “We pack a big skid

each week to go to the Boston market. Mac was the premium variety for years. But I can send a skid of Honeycrisps to Boston for twice the price I get for Macs.”

Russell features over 20 varieties of apples in his Wesminster orchard, but says that at least half his pick-your-own customers ask for Honeycrisp. As an added bonus, he doesn’t charge any more for his self-pick Honeycrisps than he does for his other selfpick varities.

In an American industry in danger from foreign growers and varieties – the Gala from New Zealand and the Fuji from Japan, for example – the Honeycrisp has been a huge boon. In fact, Russell said, there is some concern that it may be over-produced.

Vermont and other northern states have the perfect climate for producing excellent Honeycrisps, but the demand is so great that they are being grown even down into the mid-

Atlantic states. Russell said that the warmer climate affects the color, but not the taste and texture of the Honeycrisp.

The University of Minnesota just recently announced that they have developed the Sweet Tango variety, created from, and supposedly combining the best features of, the Honeycrisp and the Zestar. It has just started to appear on the market this fall.

Perhaps learning from what happened when the Honeycrisp hit the market, the University has limited the number of g ro w e r s , and g ro w e r s h a v e t o b u y into the group to have a c c e s s t o t h e v a r i e t y.

It’s yet to be seen if the Sweet Tango Will have the impact on the American market that its parent had, but there is little doubt that American growers will be watching it carefully.

One of the orchards at Duttons Farm Stand also carries the popular Honeycrisp apple.
