U.S. Senate recognizes Battle ofLake Erie anniversary

The U.S. Senate unanimously approveda bipartisan resolution commemoratingthe 200th anniversary of the Battle of LakeErie. The resolution was offered by U.S.Sens. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), Sherrod Brown(D-Ohio) and Rob Portman (D-Ohio).

The dramatic encounter on Sept. 10,1813, off the coast of Ohio under the direc-tion of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perrybrought new life into the American wareffort during the War of 1812 and ensuredAmerican control of Lake Erie for theremainder of the war.

Multiple ships used in the battle werebuilt in Erie, Pa., leading to the transfor-mation of the quiet frontier town into abustling manufacturing center and port.

Bald eagle numbers soarThe Pennsylvania Game Commission’s

Bureau of Wildlife Management is rec-ommending the bald eagle be upgradedfrom “threatened” to “protected” statusstatewide thanks to the soaring numbersof bald eagles in the state.

In mid-August, the bureau had con-firmed 266 nesting pairs in the state, com-pared to 237 nesting pairs documented in2012.

Pennsylvania Game CommissionExecutive Director Carl G. Roe notes the

commission began working to restorebald eagle populations statewide in 1983when only three pairs of nesting eagleswere reported in the state — all of themin Crawford County. The species waslisted as “endangered” at that time, withthe upgrade to “threatened” made in 2005when 100 nesting sites were confirmed.

The eagle population restoration beganin 1983 when 12 7-week-old eaglets takenfrom nests in Saskatchewan, Canada, weretransferred to towers at two sites (at Halde-man Island on the Susquehanna Rivernear Harrisburg and at Shohola Lake inPike County). There they were “hacked” (a process by which they are raised byhumans, but they are unaware of thehuman connection) and then released intothe wild. In all, 88 eaglets from Canadawere released in Pennsylvania as part ofthe project funded in part by the RichardKing Mellon Foundation of Pittsburgh andthe federal Endangered Species Fund.

Today, bald eagles are found in 56 of

Pennsylvania’s 67 counties. Informationabout bald eagles, where to view themand proper nest etiquette is available atthe Pennsylvania Game Commission’swebsite, www.pgc.state.pa.us, by clickingon the bald eagle viewing icon.

Changing the status of the bald eaglein the state will not change the species’comeback. It will continue to be protectedunder the federal Bald and Golden EagleProtection Act, the Migratory Bird TreatyAct and the Lacey Act. Under the acts,anyone who harms or disturbs eagles issubject to a civil penalty of up to one yearin jail or a $5,000 fine for their firstoffense. Criminal convictions can resultin fines up to $250,000.

Boxwood blight spreads to Indiana County

State officials recently confirmed thepresence of boxwood blight in IndianaCounty, the fourth Pennsylvania countywhere it has been confirmed. The fungus,which proliferates in hot, humid condi-tions, causes leaf spots, rapid defoliation,black cankers and severe dieback of thepopular evergreen shrubs.

Boxwood blight was first confirmed inPennsylvania in 2012 in Lancaster Countyand Chester County. The third county tohave a confirmed case was CumberlandCounty in May 2013.

State roads upgraded by gasindustry

A review of Pennsylvania Departmentof Transportation records by the ScrantonTimes-Tribune shows natural gas compa-nies have repaired (or are in the processof repairing) more than 400 miles of stateroads that have been damaged by heavytrucks in Susquehanna, Wyoming andWayne counties in northeastern Pennsyl-vania.

The Marcellus Shale natural gasindustry has spent more than $500 mil-lion statewide on repairing and replacingstate roads since the natural gas boombegan, according to the Marcellus ShaleCoalition. Natural gas companies also payimpact fees, which are not included inthat total. A percentage of the impact feeis returned to counties that are negativelyimpacted by drilling.l

ENERGYmatters

Extension office through Penn State Uni-versity may also keep a list of energyauditors or organizations that provideaudits.

If you prefer to conduct an audit byyourself, the Cooperative ExtensionSystem and other non-profit organiza-tions often provide free materials tohelp you spot ways to save. For exam-ple, Penn State University’s CooperativeExtension, via the College of Agricul-tural Sciences, posts information onlineabout how to manage electricitydemand, the top 10 ways to improveenergy efficiency on a dairy farm andefficient farm lighting.

While energy efficiency improvementsdepend on the type of farm and climate, afew general rules apply to most farms.

Turning down or completely shuttingoff lights and “energy hogs” like windowair-conditioners is the lowest-cost energyefficiency solution that farmers — or anyhome- or business owner — can try.Photo and motion sensors, timers, orprogrammable thermostats help.

Regular cleaning and maintenance canprevent future problems and keep equip-ment like fans, light fixtures, and belts run-ning at top efficiency. Tune-ups on seasonalitems, including irrigation equipment, wellpumps, and crop-drying systems, at thestart and end of each use cycle keep partsrunning properly and efficiently.

Pumping water can account for up to30 percent of a farm’s total energy use.Watering crops and livestock costs farm-ers billions every year.

The cost of electricity to operate an old,inefficient motor far exceeds its originalprice tag. Keep in mind that some motorsdraw a larger start-up current, so makesure your electrical system can handle anew motor before you buy.

Variable-speed drives on pumps alsocut energy, as can computer-controlledscheduling tools.

Lighting is another area to target.Transitioning from traditional lightingsystems to LEDs cuts down both onenergy use and maintenance costs. LEDscan provide more direct lighting, so lesslight is wasted. They are 80 percent moreefficient than traditional incandescentsand more durable than compact fluores-cent lamps.

Farms are harsh environments forlighting; some LED models are resistantto water and gaseous emissions.

As with premium-efficiency motors,LEDs require a larger investment ini-tially, but they recoup costs by needingfewer replacements and using less elec-tricity.

To get started on making your farmmore energy efficient, call your localelectric cooperative and ask about farmefficiency programs. The U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture hosts an online por-tal for a variety of farm efficiencyresources, from calculators that can helpsave energy, fuel, or fossil-fuel-based fer-tilizers to specialized publications.

Magen Howard writes on consumer andcooperative affairs for the National RuralElectric Cooperative Association, the Arling-

FARMS are an integral part of the Amer-ican and global economy — each of ourcountry’s agricultural producers feedsabout 155 people worldwide. To maintainthat level of production in the face of ris-ing costs for fuel, fertilizer, seed andequipment, farmers are seeking ways tomake operations more energy efficient.

Energy audits are an excellent way toget started, points out Brian Sloboda,who specializes in energy efficiency forthe Cooperative Research Network, theresearch and development arm of theArlington, Va.-based National Rural Elec-tric Cooperative Association.

“An audit offers a methodicalapproach to energy efficiency,” Slobodanotes. “A professional evaluates a farm’sfacilities and recommends improvementsthat will save energy and money. Recom-mendations could range from low- or no-cost fixes to projects requiring more timeand investment.”

When embarking on a farm energyaudit, check with your local electric coop-erative first. Your county’s Cooperative

WHEN Larry Beebe looks out the win-dow at his parents’ Bradford Countyhouse, he sees more than gently rollingfarmland with a barn and silo. Withjust one glance at the farm’s toweringsilo, he can glimpse a link to his familytree and an even wider association thatties him to rural residents across theUnited States.Beebe, an employee of Claverack

Rural Electric Cooperative (REC),designed and installed an 8-foot-by-8-foot “quilt square” — featuring honey-bees in recognition of his family’s name— that hangs on the silo on his parents’farm near Wyalusing.The painted wooden square is one of

more than 200 unique quilt squaresthat make up the “Quilted Corners ofWyalusing” trail. And the four Wyalus-

ing-area trails are among dozens of sim-ilar, self-guided trails located in therural areas of 45 states that make up thebackbone of the American Quilt BarnTrail. Although an exact figure is notknown because there is no formal reg-istry of participants, the number of U.S.quilt barns is estimated to be severalthousand.

Rural rootsThe quilt barn movement started in

2001 when an Ohio resident, Donna SueGroves, decided to honor her mother,Nina Maxine Groves, and the five gen-erations of her family who have shareda love of quilting. She decided to paint alarge quilt square and place it on herbarn. Soon after, her idea blossomed.“After visiting several small towns

that had successfully attracted touristswith public art on flood walls and com-mercial buildings, and having seen theability of scenic byways and historichighways to also attract visitors, theidea of a trail of quilt barns jelled in mymind,” she recalls.So she presented the idea of an

expanded trail of large painted squareshung on barns to her friends, and theirenthusiasm was so instantaneous andparticipation so quick, the project tookon a life of its own. Word of the project

and its successspread across thecountry. Today,there are quiltbarn trails inmany of thenation’s ruralareas, many pat-terned afterGroves’ plan.Claverack REC

member PeggyDeMartino wasthe catalyst behindthe Wyalusing-area trails. Soonafter hearing theGreater Wyalus-ing Chamber ofCommerce wassearching for aninnovative way toattract tourists,

DeMartino read about how other com-munities were erecting the large quiltsquares on barns and cre-ating quilt barn trails toentice people to drive intothe countryside with thehope they would stop andshop at local businesses.“By then, the grass-

roots quilt barn movementhad spread to many ruralcommunities,” DeMartinonotes. “There was aclothesline of quilt barnsacross the country comingour way. I thought, ‘Whata wonderful way to honorour farming heritage andshare this with visitors toour area.’”DeMartino presented

the concept to the chamberof commerce, where it washeartily endorsed, sayschamber President CarolGoodman.Few communities can

rival the Wyalusing effort,which is now complete.Most communities musterenough support for 50 to100 patterns on display. Inthe Wyalusing area, more

than 200 patterns were erected for theproject between 2009 and 2012. Wyalus-ing has also gone further than the stan-dard brochure and barn trail map. Thechamber created an informative website,and an audio component enables visi-tors to use their cellphones to hear arecording explaining the history of eachpattern as they drive past.

Design ideasEach quilt pattern was chosen by its

eventual owner. Although participantscould design their own square, the start-ing point was usually the database pur-chased by the chamber that contained4,000 different quilt square patterns.The computer program not only dis-played the design, but could also accesspatterns based on a key word search.The first quilt trails were meant to

honor both the quilting and farmingheritage among farm families that origi-nated as far back as colonial times.“People are proud of the farmers in

that led him to the quilt barn project —his aunt, Wendy Gaustad, works for thechamber of commerce and was instru-mental in getting the trail project off theground. Once Beebe was on board withthe project, he decided to create the

unique design for his parents, Williamand Elizabeth Beebe.He drew his honeybee and flower

design on paper and scaled it to fit onthe large square. Once the painting wasdone, he helped to install his parents’square on their 45-foot silo. BecauseBeebe had access to a lift through hisfather’s construction company, he wenton to help several more friends andneighbors install their squares.Wherever he travels, he always pays

special attention to a quilt barn whenhe sees one.“It’s like working for the co-op,” he

says. “If I am in a different state, and Isee a co-op vehicle, I feel connected. It’sthe same when I see a quilt square on abarn. I feel a connection to the project.”He’s not the only one.Debbie Allyn, also an employee at

Claverack REC, wasn’t sold on thewhole quilt barn idea at first. Her hus-band, Todd, however, thought it was agood idea given the couple’s family his-tory — both families go back severalgenerations in the Sugar Run area —and his wife’s interest in quilting. So forher birthday, he bought her a gift cer-tificate for a quilt block.After meeting with DeMartino and

searching through the design software,Allyn settled on a design that featuredthe letter “A” for their last name.“I said, ‘This is the one,’” Allyn recalls.

“My husband grew up on this farm, andwe purchased it from his parents. Thereare four As on the quilt square — one forme, one for Todd, and one for each of ourboys, Tucker and Jeremy.”

Community effortEven though Allyn had a gift certifi-

cate for her quilt square, she had towait her turn before she could get hersquare painted. As she waited, shedecided to volunteer to help paint thesquares for other people.“Most people came in, picked out

their design and then a group of volun-teers would paint the design,” Allynexplains. “Peggy (DeMartino) woulddraw the design out on the primedwood and label each section with thecolor needed. It was kind of like apaint-by-number kit.”

A NOD TO HISTORY: In recognition of the Native Americans who once lived in the area, the WyalusingValley Museum’s quilt block is the ‘Indian Paintbrush.’ It was donated by Peggy and Frank DeMartinobecause they do not have a barn. Peggy DeMartino developed the idea for the quilt trail near Wyalusing.

this area and our agricultural heritage,”DeMartino says. “We see the quiltsquare as a tribute to them, and to theactive quilting society in our region.”While most quilt trail participants

have only one of the quilt squares ontheir property, some area residents havemultiple ones.Tina Champluvier, one of the cham-

ber of commerce volunteers whoassisted people in choosing a design,has them all over.“There is one on our dairy barn, cow

barn, machinery barn, milk house, haybarn, and on our house,” she explains.“Wait! We have one on our tractor barn,too. That makes seven.”As Champluvier worked with people

to choose their patterns, she found themto be very deliberate in their choices.“I was impressed with how serious

people were when they were consider-ing a pattern,” she recalls. “Mostwanted something that had real mean-ing in their lives.”In one instance, a family wanted a

pattern that would symbolize the 13members in the family, and Champlu-vier helped them find a repetitive designthat had 13 elements in each square.It was Beebe’s family connections


All of the painting was done at thechamber of commerce in a back room.As the squares were completed, theowners would pick them up and hangthem.Allyn didn’t keep track of how many

of the squares include her artistic touch,but she estimates it’s well over 100 asthe weeks of volunteering turned intomonths and then three years.“It was just a way to help my com-

munity,” Allyn says. “Now, it’s wonder-

ful to drive around and know youhelped make them when you see them.They just sort of pop out at you. Peoplealways like to go for a ride in the coun-try, and now with the quilt patterns,there is even more to see.”The chamber of commerce coordi-

nated the placement of quilt squaresand ensured the same pattern was notduplicated, and that the same colorswere not used for patterns that werelocated near each other.In some instances, DeMartino says,

the project has had some unexpectedresults.

“I have heard some farmers say theypainted their barn before their quilt pat-tern was installed,” she says. “I thinkthey see the patterns like jewelry on theirbuilding. … Everyone has told me howmuch they enjoy seeing them, and howmuch fun it was to see a new one appearevery now and then.”The final piece of each quilt section

was the development of a “story.”DeMartino would meet with each partici-pating family and help them write adescription of their square, including fam-ily connections to the area. She thenrecorded the story for visitors to listen toas they viewed the quilt barn. Allyn’srecording describes her quilt, but alsonotes that her great-great-grandfatherwas a blacksmith in Sugar Run, close towhere she and her family still live.The chamber has placed a small sign

along the road close to each square list-ing a phone number to call and anaccess code to enter for more informa-tion about that specific quilt block. (Forthose people who cannot visit the area,the chamber of commerce has postedtwo videos on its website, www.wyalus-ing.net/barn-quilt-tour.htm, that showmany of the colorful squares on barns,businesses and homes.)At the Amy Kaczar farm, when the

stop number 129 on the sign is entered,this is part of one recording that is played:

“This quilt called Dove at Window wasultimately chosen because it was published in1865, the same year the barn was built. Thisold barn was constructed from large hand-hewn beams with mortise and tendon jointsheld together with hand-carved hardwoodpegs. … Old barns and old quilts go hand inhand in the ways that they were both meticu-lously planned out by true artisans in muchsimpler times. Since the dove is our universalpeace symbol, it seemed appropriate as itreflects the peaceful nature in the EndlessMountains of Pennsylvania. The colors are areflection of springtime and growth. …”To assist visitors in finding their

way, a guide to each of the four Wyalus-ing-area trails is available from thechamber of commerce. One of the trailsfeatures homes and businesses inWyalusing, while the others — the“Sugar Run Trail,” the “Route6/Laceyville Trail” and the “Camp-

town/LeRaysville Trail” — are alllocated in rural areas. Individuals can still do their own

quilt squares, though the chamber ofcommerce has completed its work onthe local-area project.As DeMartino reflects on how the

project that once was just an idea hasflourished, she says, “It gives me a thrillwhen I come around a bend and seeone ahead. It’s a great feeling.”Meanwhile, the Wyalusing area is

reaping the benefits from her idea.Goodman says visitors who otherwisewould not be in the area come to look atthe quilt squares and inevitably stop

and shop, buy gasoline and eat in theWyalusing area.“People come from all over the

nation,” she says. “Some visit specifi-cally because of the quilt squares, whileothers are just following Route 6 acrossthe state and are delightfully surprisedwhen they happen upon them.”For Allyn and her family, the quilt

square has added much to the drivehome.“I love looking at it every day,” she

says. “I never noticed our barn from adistance, but now with the pattern highup on the side, I can see it from a longway away as I drive toward home. It ispretty awesome.”l

On the trailGRANGE HONORS FARMING HERITAGE THROUGH QUILT SQUARES

Although it’s not affiliated with the American Quilt Barn Trail, the HeritageQuilt Trail covers a large part of rural Pennsylvania. This trail is in its fourth year.

It is sponsored by the Pennsylvania StateGrange, a fraternal organization, originally madeup of farmers, that now represents many ruraland urban Pennsylvanians.

Berks County resident and Grange memberNettie Kauffman explains that a few years ago,she and her husband, Irvin, along with fellowGrange members Barbara and Glenn Gross,attended a workshop in Ohio where they heardDonna Sue Groves, founder of the modern quiltbarn movement, speak about how to set up aquilt barn trail. They were convinced this wouldbe a good project to set up in Pennsylvania.

“The first thing we wanted to do was get thesquares on the Grange buildings across Penn-sylvania to let the public know the heritage ofthe Grange and that it takes pride in the com-munity,” Kauffman says.

The first square was installed on the Scrubgrass Grange building in VenangoCounty. From there, the project swept across the state with squares on manyGrange buildings. Then, in 2012, during the 100th anniversary celebration ofcounty fairs in Pennsylvania, the idea of the Grange putting quilt blocks on fairbuildings came up. The group expanded its project to include quilt blocks on pub-lic buildings at many of the fairgrounds in the state.

“We also have two located in the Pennsylvania Farm Show complex in the bigentryway,” Kauffman says. “One of them has the 4-H symbol and the other hasthe FFA symbol. We wanted to do them to recognize how important the 4-H andFFA youth are to the farming community.”

Most of the Heritage Quilt Trail squares are onpublic buildings, although some individuals affili-ated with the Grange have installed smallersquares on their homes. The Kauffmans have a 2-foot-by-2-foot square one on their home.

The blocks are created at local Grange hallsacross the state by volunteers who tape thedesigns and then paint them. Kauffman says asmall block can be completed in a couple of days,while the full-size squares can take up to twoweeks, or even longer if the weather is humid.

All of the designs for the Heritage Quilt Trailare different as they are intended to reflect thecommunity where the block is located, or an activ-ity that the local Grange supports.

“We have about 60 of the sites listed on our web-site, www.pagrange.org, but I know there are manyothers that are not registered on that site,” Kauffmansays. “It’s a good way to let the public know theGrange is out there working in the communities.”

The Heritage Trail includes public artwork located throughout many of the ruralelectric cooperative territories including Cambridge Springs-based NorthwesternREC, Warren-based Warren EC, DuBois-based United EC, Indiana-based REAEnergy Cooperative, Huntingdon-based Valley REC, Mansfield-based Tri-CountyREC and Wysox-based Claverack REC.

PINWHEEL DESIGN: The Sugar HillGrange is the sponsor of the ‘Pinwheel’design at the Jefferson CountyFairgrounds in Brookville near DuBois-based United Electric Cooperative.

TREE OF LIFE DESIGN: The WatsonGrange is the sponsor of the ‘Treeof Life’ design at the organization’sheadquarters in Tidioute in WarrenCounty, where Warren ElectricCooperative’s office is located.

1973 Rural electric cooperatives and their staffsoften volunteer extra assistance with communityservice projects, including the Boy Scouts.

1993 Hardwood is a valuable export and the sourceof many jobs for rural Pennsylvania residents, as wellas a focus of economic development efforts.

2003 Pennsylvania cooperatives are not sparedduring the massive regional blackout of August 2003,the fallout of which would impact residents for years.

THE ACTIONS of the government have a significant impact on consumers’electric bills. Laws and regulations can either add to or diminish the cost ofproviding service to rural electric cooperative consumer-members.

Electric cooperative members have always been concerned about the impli-cations of governmental actions. Traditionally, though, they sat back, watchedthe governmental decision-making process take its course and then mobilizedto respond to decisions they believed to be detrimental to their interests.

By the early 1980s, with the evolution of so many special interest groupsseeking to influence the legislative and regulatory processes to benefit theirconstituents, electric cooperative members could no longer afford the luxuryof being passive observers of the political and governmental scene.

As a result, they begin to take a more active role in the governmentalprocess. This activism includes the grassroots lobbying efforts of millions ofpeople served by the nearly 1,000 electric cooperatives across the UnitedStates. It also includes increased participation in the Action Committee forRural Electrification (ACRE), the political action committee that makesfinancial contributions to the campaigns of political candidates who supportissues of interest to electric cooperatives and their members.

Last month, the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association intro-duced a new micro-website, Action.coop, to support the organization’s oppo-sition to the use of the Clean Air Act to regulate carbon dioxide emissionsfrom power plants.

Instead of watching the law-making process on the nightly news, todayrural electric cooperative directors and employees are active participants inthat process, traveling to the state and national capitals to meet with legisla-tors and hosting those legislators at meetings in their home districts.l

THE SWALLOWTAIL butter-flies finally showed up enmasse at the late summer wild-flowers the other day. An egg-swollen, female praying mantisnabbed a couple of them fromher perch on a butterfly bushstem. At least a dozen differentspecies of solitary and orchardbees buzzed among the sameflowers.

It’s like that everywhereacross our four acres. Life ispopping: insects, spiders,amphibians, reptiles, commonbackyard birds, small mam-mals, the occasional red fox ordeer. Soon the praying mantisegg cases will be found ondozens of weed stems andshrub twigs, and with theheavy dew and frosts of fall,hundreds of spider webs willbe revealed, spun amidst thewildflower patches that neverneed to be mown. It’s prettymuch exactly what we envi-sioned 17 years ago when wemoved into one of 41 homes ina new development carved outof some farmer’s fields.

We snagged one of theproperties at the edge of thedevelopment, one of the sitesthat held about three acres ofwoodland, a small stream anda bit of wetland. That was thelast time any pesticide or herbi-cide was applied there. Soonthereafter, we began plantingover the wounds of construc-tion and the former agricul-tural operations with nativespecies.

Our goal was to surroundour new home with a fullyfunctioning ecosystem thatwould sustain itself from year

to year with minimal interfer-ence: native perennials,shrubs and trees well-suitedto our climate, pollinated bynative insects and protectedby an array of pest-eating spi-ders, praying mantises andthe like. The ban on pesti-cides and herbicides was crit-ical to setting that up andkeeping it going.

Only later did the responsi-bilities of home ownership,with its well and septic sys-tems, move up in the rankingsof things to worry about. Atthat point, our decision to elim-inate chemicals from the prop-erty gained an entirely newsignificance, and we foundourselves resenting the lawn-care trucks that visited ourneighbor’s yard.

Groundwater, the stuff ourpump draws up through our

well casings on demand day inand day out, is an assumptionor presumption we made inbuilding here. The Pennsylva-nia Department of Environ-mental Protection estimatesthere are 80 trillion gallons ofgroundwater under the state.That’s a comforting statistic tothe more than 3 million of uswho draw our daily quenchingthrough private wells.

It’s a comforting number inyears of plenty, as 2013 hasproven itself to be. Not somuch in years of droughtwarnings and water-userestrictions on the lips of televi-sion newscasters.l

WISE landscaping can do more than justcreate an attractive yard. It can also loweryour utility bills, summer and winter, andimprove your family’s comfort year-round.Trees, being one of the key components ofany residential landscaping design, canhave the greatest affect on your utility bills.

For one, the evaporation of moisturefrom the leaves on trees actually cools theair temperature around your home, akinto how perspiration cools your skin.

By taking advantage of passive solarheating during winter, with the properplacement and selection of trees, you canuse less electricity to heat your home.

The primary goal of efficient landscap-ing with trees is to shade your home dur-ing summer, yet allow the sun to passthrough during winter. Additional goalsare, depending upon your climate, to allowcool evening breezes to flow around yourhouse or to provide moisture for evapora-tive cooling of the air near your house.

Before you start, check with a locallandscaper to determine your temperaturezone, which refers to the minimum wintertemperature range. For warm climates inZone 10, the range is 30 degrees to 40degrees Fahrenheit. For cold climates inZone 1, the range is -30 degrees to -40degrees F. If you select species of trees thatthrive in a climate more than one or twozones outside your range, they may not dowell and may require excessive care.

In an average temperate climate, a typi-cal efficient tree landscaping plan hasdeciduous trees to the south, southeastand southwest. The leaves block the sunduring summer, but when the leaves fallduring winter, the sun shines through toheat your home. Leave a small gap to the

southwest to allow cooler evening breezesto flow through.

Plant dense evergreens along thenorth, northeast and northwest sides toblock the cold winter winds. With shorterdays and the sun lower in the sky duringwinter, not much solar heat comes fromthese directions.

In hot, humid climates, shading duringsummer is most important. Taller treesshould be planted closer to your home toblock the sun, which is higher in the sky.Leaving a gap for breezes is not as impor-tant.

There are alternatives to grass, such asground cover plants and gravel. Both havetheir advantages and disadvantages forlandscaping a house. The benefits ofeither depend on your climate, house andyard. Even in the same neighborhood,what is good for one house may not beefficient for another.

Low-growing ground cover near yourhouse can help to keep it cool duringsummer. The leaves block the sun’s heatfrom absorbing into the ground, and theygive off moisture for natural cooling.Ground cover has a lesser impact on effi-ciency during winter.

The cooling effect from ground cover ismost effective in drier climates because

there is more evaporation. In hot, humidclimates, the additional moisture fromplants near the house will furtherincrease the relative humidity level. Thisis more of a problem if you rely on naturalventilation than when air-conditioning isused with the windows closed.

Landscaping with gravel eliminates theneed to water grass, but it can increasethe air temperature around your house,particularly in the evening. The thermalmass of the gravel stores the afternoonsun’s heat, which helps in the winter. Ifyou use gravel, make sure it’s shaded bydeciduous trees during the summer.

A good location for ground cover isbetween an asphalt or cement drivewayor walkway and the sunny side of yourhouse. Not only does the driveway get hotand hold the heat, but it re-radiates theheat up to your house. Planting tallerground cover between the driveway andyour house walls can block some of thisheat. l

Follow rules to safely useportable generators

Portable generators can be helpfulduring an extended power outage. But ifnot operated properly, you can placeyourself, as well as line crews from yourelectric cooperative, at risk of injury ordeath.

The U.S. Consumer Product SafetyCommission reports that 190 non-fire car-bon monoxide-poisoning deaths occurredin 2008, according to its most recent data.Most were related to portable generator use.

First rule of thumb? Never, ever use agenerator indoors — even with windowsopen — or in an enclosed area, includingan attached garage. Locate the generatorwhere fumes cannot filter into yourhome through windows or doors — even15 feet is too close. Carbon monoxide,which is odorless and invisible, can buildup to lethal levels in a matter of minutes.If you plan to use a generator, install acarbon monoxide detector, and test thebatteries monthly.

To avoid risk of shock, use your gen-erator only on a dry surface where rainor snow can’t leak or puddle under-neath. If precipitation poses a problem,create an open-air, tent-like structureabove the unit, but make sure to leave atleast 3 to 4 feet of space above andaround it to vent carbon monoxide.

You also need to protect folks work-ing to restore power. Never plug yourportable generator into a wall outlet inyour home. This produces “backfeed-ing” — a dangerous risk to the safety ofline workers because it can energizepower lines thought to be dead. For sta-tionary generators that are permanentlyinstalled, a licensed electrician will needto install a “transfer switch” that com-plies with the National Electric Code.The switch safely cuts the electricity tothe power lines. And be sure to call yourcooperative if you have any questionsbefore you install a generator to ensuresafety for yourself and line workers.

A few other rules are important tokeep in mind:k Follow the manufacturer’s instruc-tions and safety tips for your genera-tor.

k Plug appliances into the outlet on thegenerator using only heavy-dutyextension cords marked specifically foroutdoor use. Check the wattage use ofeach appliance plugged in and makesure the total does not exceed thecord’s wattage rating. In addition, thecords should have three prongs andshould not be frayed or cut.

k Shut down the generator and let it cooldown before you refuel — gasoline orkerosene spilled on a hot generatorcould start a fire.

k If you’re buying your first portablegenerator, plan ahead. Count thewattages for the lighting and appli-ances — you’ll want to purchase a gen-erator that can handle the load.lSource: U.S. Consumer Product Safety

SEPTEMBER’S cooler nightscombined with sun-warmeddays hint at autumn and thecoming close of the growingseason. We savor the garden— the late tomatoes and last ofthe sequential bush beans;even the patty pan and zuc-chini squashes seem to tastebetter knowing that fall is justabout here. But this winding-down-soon feeling also leadsup to the fantastic explosion offall color, so there is plenty ofeager anticipation, too.

Luckily for the gardener,“fall is for planting” is not justan empty slogan. There’splenty that can be planted infall besides the spring-flower-ing bulbs like crocus, tulipsand daffodils.

In the vegetable garden,there is still time to plant thequicker-growing, cool seasongreens such as leaf lettuce, kaleand spinach, and you couldconsider planting garlic nowfor next summer's harvest.

For longer-lasting change,this is your opportunity to finetune the coming autumn showin your yard. Consider adding

more of those colorful decidu-ous trees, shrubs and vines.

Natural forests show theirfall splendor in rich vibrantreds, golds, oranges and rus-sets. You can use those colorcombinations as inspirationfor your own landscape. Ifyour property is large enoughto accommodate the largesttrees, plant some young onesnow and in a few decades theywill be showing their stuff onthe grand scale to which theyare suited. Besides the favoritesugar maples and flamingsweet gum trees, you mightconsider the gleaming gold ofthe ginkgo or the eye-catchingpurple and scarlet of the sourgum.

Happily, there are 15- to 30-foot high “small” trees and“large” shrubs (think dog-wood, crab-apple, service-berry, smoke bush, possum-haw viburnum, Stewartia,Japanese maple) perfectlyscaled to fit into our humanlandscapes and serve as glori-ous reminders of the autumnalforest.

Use vibrant mid-sizeshrubs (fothergilla, choke-berry, Virginia sweetspire,deciduous viburnums, witchhazels, fruiting blueberry) andsmaller shrubs (dwarf Virginiasweetspire, dwarf nandina)with exceptional fall color sur-rounded by an ankle-, knee-or even waist-high “carpet” ofcolorful perennials to completethe overall effect.

Shrub beds — or mixedplantings consisting of a smalltree with several shrubs with agroundcover or mulch — are

easily do-able and showresults within just a few quickyears’ growth; they also tendto be low maintenance onceestablished.

Pay special attention toshrubs that you may haveskipped over last springbecause their blooms are notnecessarily their best or mostremarkable feature. You aresure to be pleasantly sur-prised by plants such as theamethyst-berried (and nowgolden-leafed) Callicarpa, orthe quiet-in-flower but boldlyberried deciduous hollies, orperhaps the huge hips andcoloring foliage on some of therugosa roses.

To complete your seasonalcomposition, look for anunderplanting with a relatedor contrasting color. Perenni-als with exciting fall bloomsinclude asters, boltonia,sedums such as “Autumn Joy,”Japanese anemones, hardybegonia, hardy cyclamen, troutlilies, and late season (or

reblooming) daylilies andreblooming iris.

Top fall foliage perennialsinclude the now-golden bluestar (Amsonia), the reds onceratostigma and hardy gerani-ums, and the captivating puffy-plumed ornamental grasses.

Now that the August heatis past, many annuals lookgreat. Dahlias, cannas, morn-ing glories and marigolds,along with cosmos, cleome,petunias and so on, all perk upand bloom like crazy.

And don’t forget the hybridtea roses, whose lingeringblooms are in a class by them-selves.

Soon enough we’ll begin tonotice and appreciate thestructural forms of stolid ever-greens, their steady reassuringbackdrop so dependable andtrue. But for now, let the fallcolor begin! l

Thoughts from Earl Pitts,UHMERIKUN!

PUNCHlines

Social commentary from Earl Pitts —— a.k.a.GARY BUR BANK , a nation ally syndicatedradio per son ality —— can be heard on thefollowing radio stations that cover electriccooperative service territories in Pennsylvania:WANB-FM 103.1 Pittsburgh; WARM-AM 590Wilkes-Barre/Scran ton; WIOO-AM 1000 Carlisle;WEEO-AM 1480 Shippensburg; WMTZ-FM 96.5Johnstown; WQBR-FM 99.9/92.7 McElhattan;WLMI-FM 103.9 Kane; and WVNW-FM 96.7 Burnham-Lewistown.

Earl contemplates theadvantages of workinginto his 100s

No it don’t. They’re lookin’ at themnumbers one way. What I see is theundisputable fact that if you spend toomuch time with your wife, you’re gonnalose your mind.

Heck, women don’t even wait for you toretire. They start workin’ on you right afterthe honeymoon. I’m at that middle-agestage right now where my wife continu-ously monitors my faculties. She does thisby constantly asking me three questions —if I’m deaf, if I’m blind or if I’m stupid.

Like, I’ll be watchin’ the TV an’ I hearher chatterin’ in the kitchen. I don’t knowwho she’s talkin’ to. On the phone withher mama, one a’ the kids. I don’t know.Apparently, it’s me. Because suddenlyshe’s standin’ next to me, askin,’ “Are youdeaf!?!?”

Then, I’ll be lookin’ for somethin’ inthe kitchen drawers. I don’t know whereshe puts stuff. You know how some peo-ple got a junk drawer in their kitchen?We got five of them.

I’ll go, “Pearl, where’s the Scotch tapeat?”

She’ll open a drawer, pop out a roll an’go, “Are you blind?!?!”

An’ anytime I come up with a plan —some way to make a little money an’ getahead — she questions my intelligence.Like me an’ my buddy, Dub Meeker,found out there’s no such thing as “farm-raised squirrels,” an’ people would proba-bly pay good money to hunt squirrels thatwere spray-painted bright yellow. They’dbe easier to see. I laid out our plans toPearl ‘cause it would mean quittin’ my jobto get the squirrel farm off the ground.Which is kind a’ funny — because italready is — it’s in a tree.

She goes, “Are you stupid?”Like I need to retire and spend 10

more hours a day around this woman.Wake up, America. Yeah, 10 more

hours a day around that woman, an’ I’llbe usin’ a dribble cup inside a’ sixmonths. I’m thinkin’ maybe I shouldwork into my 100s.

I seen a cute thing on that interwebthing again. Yeah, I’m big on this “surfin’the web” thing now. There is this Englishnewspaper guy workin’ out of Washing-ton, D.C. An’ while he was here, he fell inlove with American baseball. An’ becausehe’s seein’ it fresh — while we seen it ourwhole lives — he’s got an interestin’ takeon the game.

He says the game a’ baseball is likeAmerican life. He says that even yourmost successful people in the game failtwo out of three times at the plate. An’ hepoints out that don’t get ‘em down. Theykeep comin’ back to try again. Becauseeverybody believes sooner or later they’regonna hit a home run. He says that’sAmerica for you — we just keep on tryin’.We don’t get discouraged. We’re all upthere swingin’.

That is a beautiful, well-thought-outessay on the American pastime — an’ theAmerican spirit. But of course, that ain’t theonly way baseball is like life in America.

For example, in baseball, the pitcherstands up on a hill an’ tries to throw abaseball past you. In life, somebodyhigher up than you is gonna be con-stantly throwin’ you curves.

In baseball, if you argue with theumpire, you could get sent to the show-ers. In life, if you argue with your betterhalf, you could be sent to the couch.

In baseball, you could get hepped upon drugs an’ set records. In life, you couldget hepped up on drugs an’ get a record.

And finally, in baseball, after the fifthinning, giant hot dogs race around thefield for the enjoyment of the crowd. Inlife, that don’t happen. I think I took thistoo far.

Wake up, America. It’s kind of ashame that some dandy English nitwithas to explain the beauty of baseball toUS, since we’re the ones that invented it.Just as long as he don’t expect us toexplain soccer to him. Because that gamestill stinks.

I’m Earl Pitts, Uhmerikun.l

I heard this story the other day ‘boutsome voodoo science geeks in France orsomewheres that done a study, an’ theyfound out puttin’ off your retirementhelps you keep from getting’ old-timersdisease. Every year past your retirementage you still work, your chances of gettin’demented decrease 3 percent.

Now, these geniuses say this proveskeepin’ your brain engaged in useful pur-suits keeps your mind sharp and func-tionin’.

What To Look Forin a Walk-In Tub:Five major considerations to

help make an informed decision before buying a Walk-In Tub:

- Quality - A walk-in tub is a major investment. You want to find a quality tub that will last for decades. Look for one that’s 100% leakproof, mold-resistant, full metal frame construction and one that’s American made.

- Warranty - Ask for a lifetime “no leak guarantee” The best tubs offer a lifetime warranty on both the tub and the operating system.

- Pain Relieving Therapy - Find a tub that has both water and air jet therapy to soak away your aches and pains preferably with a perfectly balanced water to air mix.

- Comfort - Insist on ergonomic design, easy-to-reach controls.

- Endorsements - Only consider tubs that are ETL or UL listed. Also look for a tub tested to IAPMO (International Assoc. of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials) standards and that’s USPC (Universal Spa Plumbing Code) Certified.

SEE THE DIFFERENCELaboratory tests clearly show how Jacuzzi®

jets outperform other manufacturers’ jet systems, producing a deeper and wider plume of revitalizing bubbles. Best of all, it doesn’t cost you a penny more!

There is nothing like the simple pleasure of taking a warm bath. The cares of the day seem to fade

away, along with the aches and pains of everyday life. Unfortunately for many aging Americans with mobility issues, slipping into a bath can result in slipping onto the floor. The fear of falling has made the simple act of bathing and its therapeutic benefits a thing of the past… until now. firstSTREET, the leader in products Designed for Seniors® has partnered with Jacuzzi®, the company that perfected hydrotherapy. Together, they’ve created a walk-in tub that offers more than just safe bathing, peace-of-mind and independence, it can actually help you feel better.

Unlike traditional bathtubs, our Designed for Seniors® Walk-In Tub features a leakproof door that allows you to simply step into the tub rather than stepping

precariously over the side. It features a state-of-the-art acrylic surface, a raised seat, and the controls are within easy reach. No other Walk-In Tub features the patented Jacuzzi® PointProTM jet system. These high-volume, low-pressure pumps feature a perfectly balanced water to air ratio to massage thoroughly yet gently. Some swirl, some spiral, some deliver large volumes of water and others target specific pressure points. They are all arranged in precise locations designed to deliver a therapeutic massage, yet they are fully adjustable so that your bathing experience can be completely unique.

Why spend another day wishing you could enjoy the luxury and pain-relieving benefits of a safe, comfortable bath. Call now and you’ll get an unsurpassed limited lifetime warranty. Knowledgeable product experts are standing by to help you learn more about this product. Call Today!
