Canningup a
Storm!DEVIN BEZEREDI | Staff Writer
Depending on when you planted your garden,summer 2014 proved to be a fairly successfulgrowing year. Heavy rains lasted through June andJuly, washing out some gardens early in the grow-ing season. However, gardens that were well-es-tablished were able to endure the heavy rains andmost gardeners in the Ohio River Valley are reapinga bountiful harvest.
While the majority of vegetable gardens havebeen able to survive 2014’s extreme weather pat-terns, certain fruits have not been as lucky. When se-vere cold lasted well into April this year, manyperennial fruit bushes and trees, which continue togrow on during the winter months, were stunted andunable to recover in some parts of Ohio. The result ofthis late freeze was diminished yields for strawber-ries, blueberries and raspberries. It is yet to be seenwhether this trend will extend to the apple crop aswell.
Whether you’re faced with a plentiful harvest or dis-appointing year, canning and preserving can help youget the most out of all the hard work you put into yourgardening. From tomatoes to peaches, canning andpreserving ensures you have delicious, garden-grownfruits and vegetables all through the winter months ata fraction of the cost of buying from the supermarket.
When it comes to canning there are simple stepsyou can follow to ensure that you can safely and ef-fectively. Any canning session must start by sterilizingand washing all equipment and your work surface. Run-ning cans and their lids through the washing machineor dunking them in simmering water for 15 minutes is agood way to ensure any harmful bacteria has been de-stroyed.
When it comes time to fill your canning jars make sure toleave the proper amount of space between the food and its lid.
The amount of space required varies by recipe, so make sure topay attention to your recipe book.

Generally speaking, youshould leave 1-inch for low acidfoods and a half-inch for acidicfoods such as tomatoes or wholefruits.
As you get ready to seal yourjars, make sure there are no airbubbles by stirring the contents.When you put the lid on your jarsmakes sure to not to overtighten.As you go to boil, make sure thejars are submerged in at leastone inch of water. Use a timer tokeep track of the time each batchof jars spend in the boiling water.Again, make sure to check yourrecipe to see how long each fruitor vegetable takes.
After you’ve boiled your can-ning jars, allow them ample timeto cool. Listen for the telltale pop-ping noise to make sure the jarshave sealed. The lids should al-ways sink inward in a concave
manner. If a jar does not seal youcan always place it in the refrig-erator and eat the contents soon.Lastly, make sure to label yourjars with clear date and contentsinformation.
Freezing is another increas-ingly popular preservation op-tion. However, according to arecent report by Capper’s, cer-tain fruits and vegetable freezebetter than others. Vegetablessuch as squash, peppers,spinach and corn all freeze well,as do fruits, such as berries. Aswith canning, the first step is tothoroughly clean fruits and veg-etables. Most vegetables shouldbe blanched for two to five min-utes to preserve texture and fla-vor. You can freeze fruits andvegetables in just about any con-tainer but bags, jars, and otherfreezer safe containers usuallywork best.
Whatever container youchoose to freeze your fruits andvegetable in, make sure to allowextra space in the container ex-pansion takes place as theyfreeze. According to the NationalCenter for Home Food Preserva-tion, frozen foods will keep for 8-12 months if prepared properly.
A less common method offood preservation is drying. Cap-per’s reports that just about anyblanched vegetable can bedried, as can most fruits. Tobegin, slice food into small, uni-form chunks. Next dip the piecesin an acidic solution or blanchthem to preserve the quality andtaste of the food.
Lastly place the pieces in awindowsill or in the oven to dryuntil they are crisp. Store driedfood by placing it in an airtightcontainer.

LISBON — A trend of using bright and even neon paint in home decor is catching on locally, but is sofar contained mostly to children’s rooms.
Those who may want to step into that trend for other parts their home can do so with a wide selectionof colors available at most Columbiana County stores.
Bob Bye, owner of Ace Hardware Bye and Bye in Lisbon said people are using the brighter colors of-fered there for accents in the home or for their children’s bedrooms.
“We have been selling a lot of accent colors. There are a lot fuscia and real bright oranges and real truereds and purples and lavenders, and chartreuse and turquoise,” he said.

The store only recently began offeringthe brighter colors of paint last year andalso has a new Ace paint studio. Cus-tomers are definitely moving away fromthe more muted colors, like mauve andothers that were popular in the 1980s, hesaid.
As for the children’s rooms, customersalways opted for bright colors in someways, but they have only recently begunbuying paint for entire rooms.
“The kids used to get black and accentwith different colors, now the whole roomis going to real bright colors,” he said.
The store offers the Ace brand paints,which are Royal and Clark and Kensing-ton, the latter of which contains a primerwhich customers seem to really like, headded.
“It covers up a multitude of things withjust one coat,” he said.
The store also offers the latest Valsparbrand that contains microbeads anddoes not wear away like other paintswhen rubbed in an attempt to clean offstains or other marks.
“We have had bright colors all alongbut I just think it’s trending now… if youlook at the new house magazines theyare going to these new colors,” he said.
Customers can buy paint in quarts andgallon cans or can purchase a samplecan for $4.99 if they aren’t sure they cancommit to a brighter color just yet.
A salesperson at Middleton Ace Hard-ware on Crestview Road said their storeis also seeing an upswing in bright col-ors for children’s rooms.
“We have gotten a new paint line inand there are a lot of different colors theyhave been mixing. It’s more of the kidsthat are doing the really bright things.
We have been selling a lot of black too,for primitive furniture,” she said.
Amy Doak-Koski of Milligan Hardwareand Supply Co. on Smith Street in EastLiverpool said the store hasn’t necessar-ily seen a trend, but they have doubledtheir paint sales over last year.
“We have had a lot of people sayingthat this season they are painting the out-side of their homes and just doing a lot ofredecorating inside,” she said.
Shawn Cunningham, who mixes paintfor the store said people are still optingfor muted colors.
The store offers Easy Care paint, avalue line of Painter’s Select andWeatherall for the exterior. Exorust, whichcan be used on metal, is also offered.
Should a customer decide to try out abright or even neon color, they can sim-ply bring in a sample for the store tomatch.
“We can match any color paint andmix. We have a huge selection of chipsto pick. We can just mix just about any-thing. If people bring us in something wecan match it,” she said.

(BPT) - Hand-planed, reclaimed hardwoodfloors? Beautiful but pricey. Custom drapery? Thecost can be blinding. When it comes to homedecorating, it’s easy to blow your budget on oneor two upgrades - and maybe that would be OKif those improvements also amped up the dramain your decor. Too often, however, costly deco-rating ploys disappoint, wearing out or becom-ing dated before you’ve paid off the financing.
Fortunately, a handful of upgrades just scream“luxury” - while the price tags quietly snicker “thislook didn’t cost an arm and a leg.” They may notbe as cheaply priced as fresh paint or some new
throw pillows, but these surprisingly affordable im-provements deliver high impact at a manageablecost.
Adding skylights
Luxury, drama and energy efficiency are the tri-fecta of home decorating and improvement - andfew upgrades deliver all three qualities as well asskylights. Because they admit abundant naturallight into a room, skylights have a powerful impact.Install Energy Star-qualified, no-leak, solar-pow-ered fresh-air skylights like those from Velux Amer-ica, and they can help reduce electric bills byproviding natural light and passive ventilation.
They draw no power and operate by a remotecontrol that can be programmed for multiple func-tions.
Add solar-powered blinds and the cost of theskylights and blinds, as well as installation costs,
Solar powered skylights, with decorative and energy effi-cient solar powered shades, both operated by remote con-trol, provide natural light and fresh air to your kitchen whilesaving wall space for other uses where windows aren’tneeded. Venting solar powered fresh air skylights with solarblinds, along with installation costs, are eligible for a 30 per-cent federal tax credit.
Velux Sun Tunnel tubularskylights bring natural lightto areas where traditionalskylights may not be thebest choice. They are lessexpensive and easier to in-stall in areas such as halls,closets, interior rooms andother spaces that need ad-ditional daylighting. Decora-tive ceiling diffusers add atouch of style.

are eligible for a 30 percent federal taxcredit. What’s more, professional instal-lation costs range from a low of around$900 to a high of about $2,100, with$1,475 being the average, according toHomeAdvisor.com.
If you’re only interested in more naturallight from above, or if a traditional skylightwon’t fit in your space, VELUX Sun Tunneltubular skylights, which are less expen-sive to both purchase and install, areideal for closets, hallways, interior bathsand other special spaces.

Gas fireplaces
Few improvements create ambienceas effectively as a fireplace. While addinga wood-burning fireplace to an existinghome may be difficult or impossible inmany scenarios, modern gas fireplacescan go virtually anywhere - including in-terior walls.
Advancements in the technology tomake, operate and insulate gas fire-places have made adding one a rela-tively easy process. Direct-vent fireplaces
go on exterior walls and eliminate theneed for a chimney. Vent-free models arealso available for interior locations in ahouse.
The cost of installing a gas fireplacewill vary, depending on many factors, in-cluding whether you have existing naturalgas service to your home and a line in ornear the room where you’ll be installingthe fireplace. Although not a do-it-yourself job for most homeowners, in-stalling a gas fireplace can cost as littleas $3,000.
Wall murals
Humans have been painting sceneson the walls of our abodes since the daysof cavemen. A wall mural can create vir-tually any effect you desire in any roomof the house - drama in a living room, el-egance in a dining room, relaxation in amaster bath, cozy comfort in a kitchen orwhimsy in a child’s bedroom.
While a professional, hand-paintedwall mural may cost more than your en-tire redecorating budget, modern wall-paper murals can allow you tocompletely alter the look of a room forless than $500.
Requiring no paste or trimming, wall-paper murals can easily be installed bythe average homeowner. Repositionablevarieties can even be taken down andmoved from room to room.
Granite bathroom vanities
Granite remains the gold standard ofluxury, beauty and function when you’retalking about countertops. Installinggranite in a kitchen can be costly, espe-cially if you have a lot of counter spaceto cover.
With smaller vanities and less counterspace, however, bathrooms cost muchless to outfit in granite.
Professionally installed granite bath-room vanities can cost just a few thou-sand dollars.
To get an idea of costs for your bath-room, use an online calculator like thosefound at remodelingexpense.com.

(BPT) - With the fall sea-son comes cool weatherand more time indoors.Snuggling up with blanketsand partaking in activities athome can create more clut-ter than usual around thehouse. Instead of gettingfrustrated, it’s easy to addstylish storage to corral extraitems. Get organized andkeep your home clutter-freewith a few smart tips.
Neat readingracks
Many people enjoy agood read before countingsheep. However, books,
magazines and tablets canjust add disarray if left scat-tered around the bedroom.To combat this type of clut-ter, add wall-mounted mag-azine racks or crates to holdyour reading pieces.
Paint a wooden crateusing FrogTape Multi-Sur-face painter’s tape.
Add stripes in striking col-ors for a reading rack that’sfunctional and fabulouslooking. FrogTape is the onlytape treated with PaintBlockTechnology, which forms amicro-barrier against paintbleed, giving you sharp andprecise paint lines.
Learn more at frog-tape.com. After drying, cutyour crate down the middle- you now have two spots forbook storage. Install simplewall-hanging brackets to theedges of the crates and at-tach each to the wall withdrywall anchors for a sturdyand safe finish. These arealso great for stowing awaytoys in a child’s playroom ortowels in the bathroom.
Boost bedroomstorage
If every closet, nook andcranny in your home is oc-cupied, it’s time to look to-ward other avenues fororder. Calm your chaos withunder-bed storage units bytransforming old dresserdrawers into storage space.
Paint the drawers in thecolor of your choice and drillcasters to the bottom foreasy rolling access. Slidethem under your bed andyou can now neatly put awayitems that were once a nui-sance.
Multipurposeseating
Chic ottomans and cush-ioned benches are greatpieces that provide extraseating in family rooms. Butin addition to their pleasantoutward appearance, many
contain hidden storage un-derneath the lid.
Neatly stow away movies,games, blankets and pillowsthat would otherwise crowdthis high-traffic area. Positionthe furniture as an accentpiece or place a lengthybench along a window for acozy reading nook, while si-multaneously increasingyour storage.
Cozy staircasestorage
The space under stairs isoften overlooked as a stor-age spot, since it’s usuallyclosed off with drywall. Whatmost homeowners don’t re-alize is this tricky triangle istypically hollow, and the“wasted” space can be uti-lized to store your family’sodds and ends.
For extra functionality,transform it into a closet ifyou’re a DIY weekend war-rior. All you’ll need is a cou-ple of days and these steps:
• First, frame the dooropening for your new closet.Use a drywall saw to createthe outline that fits the pre-hung door of your choice.Secure the hinged side tothe frame and use woodshims (thin pieces of woodthat will properly align thedoor) to ensure it’s a securefit within the opening.
• Next, you’ll need to cre-ate the closet walls inside.Measure the area of thecloset and cut sheets of ply-wood or drywall to those di-mensions (depending onhow “finished” you’d like thefinal space to look). Paint theplywood in the color of yourchoice and install it by nail-ing it to the existing studs.Just keep in mind that dry-wall will require a few extrasteps, like taping, muddingand sanding before it’sready to paint.
• Now, determine whatsize storage containers andhooks the space will allow

and create shelves and cub-bies. Using a nail gun, installledger strips around the entirecloset to support the shelves,making sure they’re level.

FALL PLANTINGCALCUTTA – Gardeners who look for-
ward to a colorful spring garden need toprepare for that now by planting thoseflowers they hope to see bloom whenwinter is over.
To ensure blooms by spring and sum-mer, perennial plants should be plantednow, according to those at Randy’s Rais-ings on Calcutta-Smith Ferry Road,where a host of favorite plants are avail-able for gardeners.
Employee Brenda Shaw said phlox isone early bloomer that must be plantedin the fall in order to see its colorful flow-ers early in spring.
Other popular spring flowers are laven-der, forget-me-not, gloriosa daisy, core-opsis, coneflower, aster and catmint.
But, she and James Delposen, whoseson, Randy Delposen owns the populargarden center, said all perennials are fa-vored by gardeners. The farm doesn’t
deal in bulbs, but for those gardenerswho want to see tulips or daffodils, those,too, need to be planted in the fall.
Shrubs and trees, on the other hand,should be planted in the spring.
Delposen said perennials should be inthe ground in this area before the end ofOctober, when the weather begins to getcold.
“You want to get them into the groundwhile it’s still warm,” Delposen empha-sized, saying September through mid-October is ideal planting time for springarrivals.
“I wouldn’t advocate planting anythingin late October,” Delposen cautioned.
Once the flowers are planted, theyshould be covered with mulch of one sortor another. Mulch suppresses weedsand conserves moisture.
Although actual commercial mulchcan be purchased locally, Brenda saidmulching does not have to be costly.
“You can use straw, old leaves, actualmulch, even grass cuttings. They just stillneed to get air,” Shaw explained.
Most plants do not need cut back inthe fall, Shaw and Delposen added.
Some experts also recommend plant-ing on an overcast day when rain is fore-cast rather than on a sunny day, whichwill allow for a thorough watering oncethe plants are in the ground.
Choosing short, stocky plants with fewflowers and no wilted or spotty leaves isbest.
Pinching off any flowers allows theplant to use its energy to grow a healthyroot system instead of flowers.

STEPHEN HUBA | Staff Writer
EAST LIVERPOOL—Although most people think of windowswhen they want to make their home more energy-efficient,Brian Ours has some news for them.
Windows represent only 18 percent of a home’s potential en-ergy loss. Air infiltration from the attic and basement, however,represents nearly 30 percent of a home’s energy loss, saidOurs, founder of Green Star Energy in Calcutta.
“Windows are important,” he said, “but if you’re going to putyour money any place, put it into the top and bottom of thehouse—the attic and basement.”
Then, if those heating and cooling bills are still too high, seeif there are ways to improve the efficiency of the windows, Ourssaid. That may require simply sealing up the spaces betweenthe window frame and the stud with spray foam insulation—not necessarily replacing the windows.
Ours is skeptical of window manufacturers who promise “upto” 50 percent savings in utility bills as a result of installing newwindows. First of all, the house may not need new windows,and secondarily, “up to” may mean only a 1 percent savings,he said.
“If people want to save money, they need to do it right,” hesaid. “A lot of this stuff they can do on their own.”
Ours said a home energy “audit” is a good place to start be-cause it identifies the trouble spots in the house—the placeswhere the house is losing hot or cold air.
“Your house is like a big chimney,” he said. “While it’s truethat warm air rises, it’s more important to remember that warmair rises when surrounded by cold air.”
Known as the stack effect, in the summer the phenomenonmeans that the heat from a poorly-insulated attic will be drawndown into the cooler basement, he explained. It will try to es-cape through the coolest part of the house, which can fool the
Green Star Energyfounder Brian Ours at hisAnnesley Road home.

thermostat into thinkingthat the air conditionershould keep running, hesaid.
The process is reversedin the winter time, he said.
Ours uses a blower doorand an infrared camera toidentify leaks in the homeand suggest solutions.Sometime a solution maybe as simple as a do-it-yourself window kit fromLowe’s. Other times, it mayrequire something moreextensive.
The most common cul-prits in a house, in additionto doors and windows, arecanister or recessedlights—the kind that are in-stalled into a hollow open-ing in the ceiling,
Ours said. Until about 10years ago, contractors leftabout a foot of spacearound such lighting toeliminate fire hazards.
But that’s space whereair can escape, he said.Now, such lights can beencased in a box so that in-sulation can fill the previ-ously empty spaces.
Ours also recommendsthe application of sprayfoam insulation betweenthe overhead band joists inthe basement. Foam insu-lation has a higher R-value—7 per inch—thanfiber or cellulose insulation,he said.
“The higher the R-value,the more protection youget,” he said.
Ours even suggestsplacing fiberglass insula-tion over the foam insula-tion once it has had time todry and expand. “Stuff itfull,” he said.

Spray foam insulation, whichexpands and dries, can be used toseal up unnoticed parts of thehouse that cause energy loss—likethese floor joists.

SALEM—Helping garden plants get through winter is a fairlysimple and straightforward procedure, according to Dan Culp,sales manager of the Busy Beaver store in the Salem Plaza.
Culp said it will be another month or so before customersstart zeroing in on getting their gardens ready for winter andfiguring out what they want to do. “They start rolling in aboutthen,” he said.
Culp said burlap, the kind that potatoes are bagged and thatis available in the lawn and garden section of Busy Beaver, isa standard fare in winter gardens.
It is used around trees and shrubs, Culp said noting its calledhardware cloth and it keeps animals and critters from gnawingon trees.
There is deer matting and that protects plants and tree net-ting to protect bushes from birds and rabbits and the ever-pre-sent “critters.”
There is also protection for ponds where people would havesome valuable fish. Culp said plant areas should be clearedout of blackened stems and foliage from annual flowers andvegetables.
“That will prevent the possibility of their harboring diseasepathogens,” he said, “and insect eggs over the winter.”
He said that spreading new organic mulch for a thicker win-ter layer is a good idea to not only protect the plants but the soiltoo.
“Not so much to keep the soil warm, but to keep is at an eventemperature,” Culp said, adding that evergreens (broad -leaftypes) should be screened from drying winter wind and snowby using burlap and staking it to the ground.

An ongoing part of protecting evergreens is knocking snowfrom the bottom branches and work up the prevent a snowbuild up on the branches.
“If a branch is bowed by ice, let the branch thaw naturally,”he said, “to prevent breakage.”
Young trees should be wrapped with wire to prevent ani-mals from gnawing off the bark. Culp said that netting or a tackcloth is preferred.
Shrub and perennial beds should be mulched with pine nee-dles and chopped leaves while bulbs should be mulched withevergreen boughs to protect the soil from shifting or cracking.
Culp said rose need a little extra care ahead of time.
They shouldn’t be pruned or fertilized late in the summer, hesaid. “That way it will prevent new stems which would die in thewinter anyway.”
There are specially made rose cones, but Culp said BusyBeaver has wire tomato cages that burlap can be strungaround if people can’t find the cones.
Culp said that old mulch should be removed and new mulchput down using either wood chips, shredded bark or choppedleaves as far out as the branch tips.
“After the ground freezes, add more mulch,” he said.
He recommended that vegetable gardens be plowed under“to make compost for next year and rotate the crops each sea-
son” while evergreens, azaleas and shrubs are covered withburlap.
The Salem Busy Beaver store opened in 2001 and has ap-proximately 22,000 square feet of showroom floor. Hours areMon.-Sat 7:30 a.m. until 9 p.m. and on Sunday from 8 a.m. until6 p.m.
These wire tomato cages can also be used in place of rose cones to protectflowers and plants in the wintertime. Burlap can be draped around the wire tokeep snow and wind from the plants.

Maybe it appeals toyour primal instinct, oryou simply enjoy beingoutdoors. Maybe it’seven that you get betterresults for a variety ofreasons, plus cleanup iseasy. Whatever the casemay be, everyoneseems to love cookingoutdoors. It seldom getsany better than firing upthe grill and tossing ona couple of quality burg-ers or steaks andmaybe roasting upsome fresh veggiesfrom the garden.
Whatever your culinary passion, sa-vory smoke and fresh air just seem tomake food taste better. Many of usdream of adding to the tradition of char-coal or gas grill on the back patio, andtaking it a step further by building anoutdoor space where family andfriends can gather, laugh, cook, eat andshare. It may be as simple as a sturdybackyard fire pit for cooking hotdogsand s’mores and for warming the gath-ered bodies on cool fall evenings. Oryou might be looking for the full ac-companiment of grill, fireplace or pizzaoven and outdoor dining area. Luckilyyou’re only limited by your imaginationand willingness to do a little researchand hard work.
Design and buildWhile you’re designing your outdoor
fire-feature, think of how you want to beable to use it. If cooking is going to bea consideration, and really it should be,
then this is a good time to plan out howyou will want to do that.
As with campfires, there are a num-ber of simple solutions available thatcan be placed over a pit to allow forgrilling or cooking. Some are remov-able, others permanent and adjustable,but all should meet the requirementsthat you most commonly will be usingthem for.
I always like to look into a recycled,reused or homemade option when I amplanning a project like this. Frequentlyyou can find used barbecues at thriftstores or in community bulletin boardsonline that come with perfectly service-able cooking grates. With some simplemodifications, these can make for per-fect removable cook surfaces for anumber of outdoor cooking applica-tions.
A simple tripod con-structed of 1/2-inchrebar could easily sus-pend a grill or cast-ironpot for instance, trans-forming your fire pit intoa vintage “western”cowboy cookery.
If a fireplace is theoption that youve cho-sen to go with, there aredesigns and productsavailable that allow youto insert a grill for use incooking that can be re-moved afterward toallow the fireplace to beused purely for ambi-
ence and enjoyment. You may evenwant to design your fireplace to beused more as a stone, brick or evenclay oven for cooking pizza, breads orovernight slow cooking of meats orbeans.
Because these methods and materi-als have been in use for thousands ofyears, there is a wealth of informationavailable for many methods of con-structing them. (Find GRIT’s article foroutdoor bread/pizza oven plans athttp://bit.ly/NCMv7i.)
Probably the single most popular fea-ture of this sort is the fire pit or outdoorfireplace. These serve as a focal pointof any backyard get-together and caneasily be taken to the next level and be-come an enjoyable addition to an out-door cooking area.Creating one can be as simple as re-
purposing an old cast-iron manhole

frame (I’ve done this, and it works won-derfully) or as elaborate as a masonryor slate pit with intricate designs; thedetails are limited only by your creativ-ity. After determining what material youwill use, you’ll naturally be guided to thecorrect way to begin your installation.Simple ring-over-earth fire pits like mymanhole frame require little more thanensuring the ground is level and the siteis a safe distance away from flamma-ble objects. No special treatment is re-quired of the ground beneath the firearea; it will essentially just become apermanent campfire of sorts and will re-quire only the occasional shoveling outas ash begins to pile up.
On the other hand, a brick, rock orpaver type construction — because itis built from many pieces — requires asomewhat more intense approach toensure that it is built on stable groundso it will last for many years to come.Much like laying pavers, you will wantto trench out a ditch and line it with acourse drainage grade rock. In thiscase, dig to approximately 12 inchesdeep and the width of your pavers orbricks, and then fill the bottom of theditch with a good 6 inches of rock. Thisallows for drainage around the stone
base, preventing settling in rainy areasor winter heaving in cold climates, aswell as giving you a stable base to buildthe first layer of bricks on below-groundlevel. This will help to maintain the formand shape of the pit or fireplace as youcontinue to build. You could alsochoose to pour a cement base ratherthan laying your first course of stonebelow ground level. This is generally agood guideline for starting most out-door hardscape construction, but moredetailed instructions can be found atyour local hardware store or online - itall completely depends on your budgetand skill.
What if you dont have room for alarge feature in your yard space, or yousimply don’t want to dedicate thespace you do have to something per-manent, but you do want to take ad-vantage of cooking outdoors orenjoying a fire with friends and familyon occasion?
There are always a number ofportable fire pit options available forfairly reasonable prices. While they doeasily solve the problem, all of the onesthat I have come across are either lack-ing in size, durability or cooking fea-
tures. That said, there’s no reason youcouldn’t build a temporary fire pit oroutdoor cook area that could easily bestored until needed.
Bricks can make great small, openfireplaces or fire pit rings by simplystacking them in a safe area. Even old55-gallon drums can be cut down to 12to 15 inches high, layered with brick orrock on the bottom, and used as tem-porary fire pits, and standard circularbarbecue grills can easily be placedover the top to cook on.
By elevating the ring on doublebricks placed on three or four sides,you can even use it over your lawn withlittle if any damage to the grass. Water-ing the area below is a good idea aswell to keep the ground from overheat-ing. Ive even seen old wheelbarrowsused as fire pits by placing a layer ofbricks across the bottom (not recom-mended unless fixed to prevent tip-ping). Talk about multi-use!
So as you can see, there are numer-ous ways to go with an outdoor fire fea-ture: large or small, permanent ortemporary, and limited only by your de-sire and creativity.

Competition and conflict have existed between people andanimals since the first gardeners began sowing seeds on theground. The critters just as quickly carried them away.
But coexisting with wildlife in farm fields or gardens can bea winning proposition if you’re willing to alter your habitat. Evennuisance animals can become plant partners with a little plan-ning.
“You can steer your way around a lot of the usual wildlife-property owner confrontations,” said Robert Pierce, an exten-sion fisheries and wildlife specialist with the University ofMissouri.
“Do some homework about animal behavior,” Pierce said.“Know where raccoons or deer traditionally utilize cover or usetraffic lanes. It’s common sense that you wouldn’t want to plantgardens in those areas.”
And sharing property with wild birds and animals doesn’tnecessarily mean reducing the size of your harvest, said TammiHartung, author of the new “The Wildlife-Friendly VegetableGardener” (Storey Publishing).
“Welcome pollinators into the garden,” Hartung said. “Inviteanimals that can do your pest management. That will actuallyincrease your yields in many cases.”
Almost any wildlife species can become a nuisance, Piercesaid. Canada goose droppings are messy and potential healthhazards. Moles damage lawns. Squirrels eat freshly plantedbulbs. Small rodents like voles will strip the bark fromgrapevines. Feral hogs damage pastures.
“Tolerance levels vary,” Pierce said. “Lots of folks just enjoywildlife and like having them around. Much depends uponwhether you have the money to invest to keep them away fromyour plants.”
The most benign ways to keep wildlife away from the gardeninclude repellents, frightening techniques, rotating crops,decoy plants, fencing, netting and other barriers.
Consider
— Being proactive. “Before the raspberries ripen, put upsome tape or nets so the birds will never taste them and won’tknow what they’re missing,” Hartung said.

— Modifying food and cover. “We have 30 deer comingthrough our property every day,” she said. “The deer wouldn’tleave my tulips alone, so I don’t grow tulips anymore. I grow(deer-resistant) daffodils instead.”
— Distractions. “Parsley redirects rabbits from saladgreens,” Hartung said. “Plant some sunflowers next to yourberry patch. Many birds prefer their seeds to the fruit.”
— Growing a surplus for sharing. Add hedgerows outsidethe garden that include fruiting trees and shrubs.
— The hose. “We use a motion-detector apparatus thathooks up to a hose,” Hartung said. “It sprays water when it de-tects motion. When raccoons come at night, they get a hardspray of water. It doesn’t do them any harm but they stayaway.”
Wildlife-friendly gardening has its challenges, but you canco-exist for the most part, she said.
“Something like a bear may show up and you’ll have to dealwith it,” Hartung said. “Maybe then it’s as easy as picking upsome fallen fruit and discarding it someplace else.
“You don’t really need to trap animals, use toxic chemicals orshoot them,” she said. “You can find other solutions.”

(BPT) - When choosing a focal point fora room, designers and homeowners alikeoften plan for a single feature - windows,TVs, artwork, or fireplaces - to take centerstage.
However, the explosion of flat screenTVs for every room in the home has cre-ated a debate - can you really have morethan one focal point?
Online resources like houzz and variousdesign blogs have made it easy for home-owners to discuss that question, withmany in favor of combining two featuresthat typically stand out on their own - fire-places and TVs - on one wall to blend thewarm and comforting aesthetics of a fire-place with easy TV access.
“The question is if a TV can - and should- be mounted on the wall above a fire-place, combining the two elements intoone focal point, since they’re traditionallyused individually,” says Becky Scribner,brand director of Heat & Glo. “The goodnews is that the TV and fireplace can oc-cupy the same wall with a few minor installtweaks. It can work - from both a technicaland a design standpoint.”
In large rooms with adequate space,TVs above the fireplace can create anideal angle of vision. In fact, stacking TVsand fireplaces can be a great choice forseveral reasons:
• Easy design: Combining two ele-ments in one location makes it easier todesign the rest of the room, allowing for asingle grouping of chairs and couches.
In some room designs, it also leavesroom for other areas to be turned intoreading corners or small work spaces.
• Enhanced functionality: Open-con-cept floor plans and homes that have thekitchen, eating and living area combinedinto an open great room are perfect for
placing the TV and fireplace on the samewall. This arrangement provides optimalviewing of the TV while cooking in thekitchen or relaxing in the eating area,while also incorporating the warmth andcomfort of the fireplace.
• Subtle style: Higher placementmakes a TV less obvious when a personfirst walks into the room.
Visitors notice a beautiful fireplace, es-pecially when lit, and may only observethe TV if it’s turned on.
Plus, there are other decorating tricksdesigners can use if a homeowner reallydoesn’t want the TV to stand out, like hid-ing it behind a painting or mirrors.
The TV can be revealed with a push ofa remote control button, causing thepainting or mirrors to slide over or up, andthen hidden again with another push of abutton when the TV is turned off.
For a quick living room update, con-sider placing your TV above the fireplaceto create a warm, welcoming and invitingspace.
You may also consider adding a fire-place to your existing TV room for addedrelaxation and ambiance.
Heat & Glo provides installation infor-mation to homeowners, and the brand’swebsite includes information about thespacing recommended between the fire-place and the mantel (if desired), as wellas spacing guidelines between the man-tel and the TV.
Consumers can also find a local dealerat www.heatnglo.com to help with instal-lation and finishing.

modern look. It’s really simple to add an accent plate, or astand-out charger in this season’s colors to update your tablefor fall entertaining.”
Figural pieces, such as leaf shaped plates and servingpieces are very popular this fall. Many manufacturers are of-fering colorful accent pieces with favorites including turkey, fallleaves and pumpkin motifs.
“You can use pumpkins as a strong design element throughThanksgiving,” Griffith suggests. “Pumpkins made of glass, ce-ramic and lightweight resin are big sellers in the store as wehead into the season. Mix with the real thing to easily create agreat centerpiece.”
As the season changes, so does the way you’re entertaining.Gatherings may be more casual as friends and family get to-gether around the television for the big game or by the fire piton the patio.
“Appetizer size plates and individual dip bowls are great forfinger foods and condiments, says Robbins. “These smallerpieces are both popular and affordable. Plus it’s fun to mixshapes, colors or motifs. Mix and match your favorite team col-ors for the big game or choose individual Thanksgiving themedplates for celebrations tied to turkey day.”
Still looking for more fall tabletop ideals? Help is just a clickaway. This team is now using Facebook to share decoratingtips and solutions.
“We love partnering with our customers to solve their design
dilemmas,” says Robbins. “We’re thrilled when people reachout to us and ask questions on Replacements’ Facebookpage. Our team is having a lot of fun connecting with our cus-tomers and we encourage people to visit our page, ask ques-tions, like us and share us with their friends; we get so manygreat design challenges this way.”
Once the team receives a question, they create multiple mixand match options, photograph these table settings then postthe images online for the public to see and share.
Pumpkins and turkey-themed plates are popular
design elements this fall.

Although the thought of sleeping withmillions of dust mites — microscopicarachnids that feast on flakes of skin —is just plain gross, it’s something mostpeople can handle without worry.
After all, our bodies are inhabited bymultitudes of bacteria, to which we sel-dom give a thought.
For the many people who suffer fromallergies, though, the allergens in dust-mite feces and body parts can lead tochronic sinus problems and coughing,among other symptoms.
If gone untreated, the problem can es-calate to eczema and asthma, particu-larly in children, according to JamesSublett, president-elect of the AmericanCollege of Allergy, Asthma and Immunol-ogy.
“The sooner you intervene, the lesslikely the problems are to escalate,” hesaid.
Luckily, homes can be made more liv-able for allergy-sufferers — and lessamenable to dust mites — in just a fewsteps.
About a quarter of Americans sufferfrom some sort of allergy and of thoseone-half to two-thirds are sensitive todust-mite allergens, according to Sublett,making it one of the most commoncauses of allergies.
“Around the world, dust mites are themost common indoor allergen,” saidRobert Wood, director of the pediatric al-lergy and immunology division of JohnsHopkins University.
If dust-mite allergies are suspected,the first step is to get tested by an aller-gist.
While periodically replacing all yourbedding might seem to make sense, ex-perts say it’s unnecessary for those with-out allergies and insufficient for allergysufferers.
Instead, these tips from allergists canhelp make any home friendlier to thosewith indoor allergies, dust mites in-cluded:
1. Keep It Dry. “One of the biggest andmost common mistakes people make isto install vaporizers and humidifiers,”Sublett said. “Moisture can and doescause all kinds of problems.” Dust mitescan’t survive in less than 50 percent hu-midity, so buy a humidity meter and, ifneeded, a dehumidifier to keep humidityto between 35 percent and 50 percent.“Just three hours above that level of hu-midity, though, is enough to keep thedust mites alive,” he said.
2. Rip out the rugs and ditch thedrapes. Carpet and heavy drapes are areservoir for allergens like dust mites andshould be removed, particularly in bed-rooms. If removing them isn’t an option,the American College of Allergy, Asthmaand Immunology recommends frequentvacuuming using a HEPA (high-efficiencyparticulate air) filter. Those with allergiesshould stay away or wear an N95 partic-ulate mask during and immediately aftervacuuming, since particles can remainairborne for up to two hours.
3. Just Encase. All mattresses, boxsprings, pillows and comforters shouldbe encased in well-sealed, tightly woven,
microfiber “mite-proof” covers from areputable company, such as Mission: Al-lergy or National Allergy Supply, andlinens and stuffed animals should bewashed weekly, allergists say. “The tem-peratures and detergents used are muchless important than the regularity ofwashing,” Sublett said. “Washing in anytemperature dramatically reduces thelevel of allergens.”
4. Opt for smooth. Smooth surfacesthat can be wiped clean are generallybetter for allergy-sufferers than moreporous upholstered surfaces oncouches, chairs and even car seats,Sublett said.
5. Clear and clean the air. To help keepindoor allergens of any kind at bay,homes should be smoke-free and petsshould be kept out of the bedroom. Forthe very allergy-prone, use a HEPA air fil-ter in the bedroom with a CADR (cleanair delivery rate) adequate for the size ofthe room.
Install MERV 11 or 12 disposable,high-efficiency filters in the furnace andair conditioning system that can bechanged every few months, according toSublett. But these steps are less impor-tant for those suffering solely from dust-mite allergies, since dust mites burrowdeep in bedding and dust-mite particlesare generally not airborne, according toWood.
6. Check the units. Allergists suggestthat to minimize indoor allergens, heat-ing and air conditioning units be cleanedand serviced every six months, and thatgas appliances and fireplaces be ventedto the outside and regularly maintained.

SALEM—A painted piece of furniture found at a garage saleor flea market may hold more value than expected, accordingto a local antique store owner.
”I think it would be worth it to take a little paint thinner and seewhat’s underneath,” Sisters Antiques owner Renee Prohaskasaid.
Prohaska, who opened this year on the southwest corner ofState Street and Lundy Avenue in Salem, was pleasantly sur-prised after her recent purchase of a dresser that was paintedwhite. The dresser was stripped of the paint, revealing a quar-ter sawn oak veneer. Polyurethane was then used to seal it.
”Look how nice that is,” she said, admiring the dresser.
When it comes to refinishing furniture, her opinion is that re-finishing definitely hurts the value of antiques. As an alterna-tive, she suggested using cleaners and products that canrestore the original finish, such as Milsek or Restor-A-Finish.”Antique dealers want the original,” she said.
Jerry Smith, manager of Sherwin Williams on State Street inSalem, also talked about the surprise factor regarding strip-ping a piece of furniture down to its original finish.
”You never know. You can uncover a great piece of furniture,”he said. “If you get it for a good price, you can turn it into some-thing nice.”
He explained that there are a variety of products availablefor stripping furniture, including environmentally-friendly strip-pers like Peel Away or Strypeeze. Other stripping productswhich can dissolve the finish back to original may require pre-cautions, such as wearing a mask, using in a well-ventilatedarea and wearing gloves.
Once the paint is stripped away, he said the furniture shouldbe allowed to thoroughly dry before applying any finish or stain.The piece should also be sanded first. After the stain is applied,the piece should be sanded again before applying the protec-tive finish.
Some of the same methods can be used on wood floors,walls and trim. Smith stressed that patience is important — theprocess should not be rushed. A piece of furniture can be re-stored, giving the owner a brand new piece.
If the intention is to refinish and perhaps make a newer piecelook old, Smith said there are faux finishes available to give fur-niture or walls a crackle finish, leaf finish or even tissue paperfinish. Information about products and methods are availableon the Sherwin Williams website at www.sherwin-williams.com.
Ideas for furniture can also be found at www.diynetwork.com,where the following methods were listed for preserving an orig-inal finish or repairing a finish.
”The first step in protecting an old finish is to clean it with amild furniture cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh solvents orsteel wool. After the cleaner has evaporated, apply a thin coatof high-quality furniture paste wax. Wait about 10 minutes, oruntil the wax begins to harden, and buff vigorously with a clean,soft cloth,” the lesson under Wood 101 under the Decoratingheading said.
”Paste wax creates a hard, thin shell of protection over anoriginal finish and is universally accepted as a preservative byantiques collectors and museum curators. Apply paste wax nomore than once a year to avoid excessive buildup,” the websitesaid.
