Plan to save historic railroadstation moves forward

Gettysburg Borough Council mem-bers have approved the sale of the his-toric Gettysburg Railroad Station to theGettysburg Foundation. The foundationplans to maintain the site on behalf ofthe Gettysburg National Military Parkuntil the U.S. Congress approves its addi-tion to the park. At that point, the foun-dation will donate the station to the park.

President Abraham Lincoln arrivedat the station on Nov. 18, 1863, for a one-night stay prior to the dedication of theSoldiers’ National Cemetery, where hedelivered what has become known as“The Gettysburg Address.” The stationalso was used as a hospital during theCivil War.

The Gettysburg Convention and Visi-tors Bureau currently uses the station asa visitor’s center, and that arrangementwill continue for now.

Funds for the foundation’s purchasecame from a grant from the RichardKing Mellon Foundation, as well asfinancial support from the TawaniFoundation and local resident WilliamE. Aldrich.

Lancaster County marks nationalmilestone

Lancaster County is the first countyin the nation to preserve 100,000 acresof farmland. The historic 100,000th acreis a part of Bruce and Patricia Lefever’s“Sego Sago” farm near Manheim. TheLefevers are the sixth generation of thefamily to live on the farm.

Noting Lancaster County’s role as theNo. 1 agriculture producer in Pennsylva-nia and No. 10 in the nation, LancasterCounty Commissioner Scott Martin sayspreserving the region’s agricultural her-itage is key to addressing land use in thecounty.

Preserved farmland cannot be devel-oped for commercial or residential use byits current — or future — owners.l

Youth Tour turns 50More than 4,000 high school students

from Pennsylvania and New Jersey haveparticipated in the Rural Electric YouthTour to Washington, D.C., since the pro-gram was instituted 50 years ago.

Then-Sen. Lyndon Baines Johnson iscredited with the inspiration that even-tually led to the program when headdressed the National Rural ElectricCooperative Association (NRECA)

Annual Meeting in Chicago in 1957. In his speech, the former U.S. president

suggested that the best way to show youngpeople how the government functions is tobring them to Washington to observe thegovernment process in person.

Later that year, several Texas cooper-atives sent students to Washington.Other states began to follow with theirown programs.

Then, in 1964, NRECA began to coor-dinate the program, which began with400 students from 12 states, includingPennsylvania. New Jersey joined a fewyears later.

The program has grown through theyears with the largest gathering in 2013,when 1,597 students and 298 chaperonesfrom 43 states participated in Youth

KEEPINGcurrent

Tour. Ninety-two of those students weresponsored through the PennsylvaniaRural Electric Association from Penn-sylvania and New Jersey.

Anita Leitzel, PREA/Allegheny mem-ber services & education coordinator,has been the statewide coordinator forthe Youth Tour for 30 years.

“Youth Tour benefits continue longafter the trip,” Leitzel says. “The stu-dents who participate in Youth Tour will

be our new gener-ation of leaders.Youth Tour isoften their firstintroduction topolitics, their firstvisit with electedofficials and con-gressional leaders.This makes a sig-nificant impact onall of these stu-dents and oftenbrings a lifelonginterest in govern-ment and publicservice. They alsolearn about elec-tric cooperatives

and the history behind working togetherto benefit the country’s rural residents.”

Youth Tour is a coordinated effortamong NRECA, PREA and the localcooperatives that select the studentswho will represent the cooperatives inWashington, D.C.

In observance of the 50th anniver-sary of the first Youth Tour, in 2014,Penn Lineswill occasionally publishmemories from former Youth Tour stu-dents. If you (or someone you know) is aformer participant in Youth Tour, pleasesend us your written memories of theevent.

ENERGYmatters

profit research consortium made up ofelectric utilities, including electric cooper-atives, recently tested one of the mostpopular residential power factor correc-tion products and found that it generatedaverage power savings of just 0.23 percent— far from the 30 percent claimed by itsmanufacturer. At that rate, it would takea typical homeowner more than 70 yearsto recoup his or her investment.

In short, these devices are nothingmore than ordinary capacitors employedin electronic circuits to store energy ordifferentiate between high- and low-fre-quency signals. Companies selling theseproducts change names quickly andoften, and move from town to town.

There are several questions you shouldask a sales representative when readingan ad for the next magical cure-all:

Does the product violate the laws ofscience? For example, does it claim to becapable of “changing of the molecularstructure … to release never-beforetapped power?” If true, the inventionwould quickly be sold in every storeacross the nation, not marketed throughfliers or a poorly designed website.

Was the product tested by an inde-

A QUICK internet search reveals manyways to save energy around your home —and a lot of them are too good to be true.Scams generally center around misstate-ments of science or confusion over utilityprograms. That’s why it’s always a goodidea to call your electric cooperative toverify or ask questions about any energy-saving program you see advertised.

A popular scam involves a device thatpromises to save energy without requiringyou to make any changes in behavior, turnanything off or adjust the thermostat. Peo-ple who sell these “little boxes” often claimoutrageous energy savings — sometimesas much as 30 percent or more ― couchedaround legitimate utility terms like powerconditioning, capacitors and power factor.

The bogus marketing spiel usuallygoes something like this: The modelbeing sold will control alternating currentpower factor and reduce electric bills. Itwill condition your power and makeappliances last longer. It uses no powerand has no moving parts. It will makemotors in your home run better.

Accompanying materials often caution“your utility doesn’t want you to knowabout this device.” Actually, what yourcooperative doesn’t want is for you to betaken advantage of by these claims.

What’s the reality? While electriccooperatives use various components tocorrect power factor for commercial andindustrial consumers, power factor cor-rection is not a concern with homes.

Engineers at the University of Texas-Austin concluded that one of the unitscould produce no more than a 0.06 per-cent reduction in electric use in an aver-age house. The Electric Power ResearchInstitute, a Palo Alto, Calif.-based non-

pendent group? If the performance of theproduct was not tested and certified by alab or entity not connected to the companyselling it, be very skeptical. Don’t allow asalesman to verify claims. One populartrick is to hook up the little box to a motorand a power meter. When turned on, themeter records a drop in what appears tobe power consumption. This is a trick — itis not the same type of meter hanging onthe side of your home.

Is it too good to be true? If so, it proba-bly is. A video getting play on the internetshows a consumer reporter for a televisionstation testing one of these little boxes. Bylooking at electric bills before and afterinstallation, he concludes the device is agood buy. However, an excessively hot orunusually cool day can cause one month’selectric bill to run significantly higher orlower than the previous month. Wise con-sumers always ask to see electric use for thesame month from the previous year(s), notthe previous month, and factor in weatheranomalies for any savings claims.lBrian Sloboda is a program manager spe-

Clogged, Backed—up Septic System…Can anything Restore It?DEAR DARRYL: My home is about 10 years old, and so is my septic system. I have always taken pride in keeping my home and property in top shape. In fact, my neighbors and I are always kidding each other about who keeps their home and yard nicest. Lately, however, I have had a horrible smell in my yard, and also in one of my bathrooms, coming from the shower drain. My grass is muddy and all the drains in my home are very slow. My wife is on my back to make the bathroom stop smelling and as you can imagine, my neighbors are having a field day, kidding me about the mud pit and sewage stench in my yard. It’s humiliating. I called a plumber buddy of mine, who recommended pumping (and maybe even replacing) my septic system. But at the potential cost of thousands of dollars, I hate to explore that option. I tried the store bought, so called, Septic treatments out there, and they did Nothing to clear up my problem. Is there anything on the market I can pour or flush into my system that will restore it to normal, and keep it maintained?

THE INSTANTUnited Airlines Flight93 met its tragic end in a field in Somer-set County on Sept. 11, 2001, an endur-ing bond was forged. Now that relation-ship between the families who lost lovedones on the ill-fated flight and the resi-dents of Somerset County, who bandedtogether, determined to ease the fami-lies’ suffering as much as humanly pos-sible, has expanded to include the crewof the USS Somerset. The USS Somerset, a U.S. Navy trans-

port ship honoring the 40 passengersand crew of the downed airliner, isscheduled to be commissioned at Penn’sLanding, Philadelphia, on March 1.More than 1,200 residents from theSomerset County area, along with thefamilies of the crew members and pas-sengers of Flight 93, are expected to join

Spirit of Navy commissionsship in honor ofFlight 93, localcommunity

John Vatavuk, a member of SomersetRural Electric Cooperative, has beenworking closely with the ship’s builder— Huntington Ingalls Industries — andU.S. Navy officials since 2008 in an effortto encourage the connection between thecommunity, the families of Flight 93 andthe USS Somerset. “It’s a real honor to have a ship

named after this county, to be involvedin a ship that will honor the heroes ofFlight 93 and their families,” Vatavukstates.

shipped to an Avondaleshipyard near New Orleans,where construction on theship, which will be used innaval and humanitarianrelief operations around theworld, began.The Vatavuks went to the ship’s keel-

laying ceremony in December 2009 atthe Avondale shipyard, where the com-missioner spoke about his quest toinclude steel from the Somerset Countydragline into the USS Somerset. He alsospoke at the ship’s next milestone, thechristening ceremony in July 2012, alsoheld at the shipyard.Vatavuk had worked to gather arti-

facts for the mast stepping box (theship’s time capsule), which were dis-played in a shadow box at the christen-ing ceremony. They included a bottle ofSomerset County maple syrup, a key tothe borough of Somerset, a fire depart-ment patch from the Shanksville Volun-teer Fire Department (the first respon-ders to arrive at the crash site), a sher-iff’s patch, and photos and biographies

of crash victims. The mast stepping box,a metal box that was welded shut, willremain with the ship until it is decom-missioned in about 50 years, at whichtime it will be opened.While at the christening ceremony

for the USS Somerset, Vatavuk spokewith one of the ship’s officers who sug-gested that Vatavuk collect road signsfrom Somerset County to display on theship so the crew has a direct, constantconnection to Somerset County. All 50of Somerset County’s municipalitiesprovided a street sign denoting a street

name of special significanceto that community; Vatavukpurchased a Flight 93 Memo-rial Highway (Route 219) signand donated it from thecounty. The signs hang in theship’s hallways and rooms asan ever-present reminder tocrew members of their con-nection to Somerset County.Vatavuk also had a countymap framed to hang on boardthe ship.One of the unique aspects

of the USS Somerset is itsFlight 93 museum. As part of

Forging the bondVatavuk began his efforts to provide

parts of Somerset County to the ship-building efforts in 2008 after a local resi-dent suggested to him perhaps therewas a way some local materials could beincorporated into the USS Somerset, thenin the planning stages.“I thought that was a great idea,”

Vatavuk recalls. “A month or two later, Iheard the big dragline (an inactive exca-vating machine with an attached steamshovel) that had held the giant Americanflag that you see in so many of the earlyphotos from the crash site was going tobe scrapped because it was too expen-sive to maintain as part of the nationalmonument. … It turned out to be theexact type of carbon steel that wasneeded in the ship’s bow stem.”The scrap company in Reading, Pa.,

that was planning to dismantle thedragline authorized a demolition com-pany from Ohio to take 25 tons of steelfrom the bucket and haul it to NewportNews, Va., to the Northrup Grummanplant to be smelted.“In the summer of 2008, my wife and I

went to Virginia and watched the Navysmelt (the scrap metal),” Vatavuk says.“They turned it into molten steel, andthen they poured it into the mold for the

We are very proud to be asmall part of honoring the heroes ofFlight 93 and their families.”As part of Kirst’s commitment to the

project, his company is matching up to$10,000 in local contributions to the USSSomerset Commissioning Committee,

which is charged with raising funds tohelp support the activities associatedwith the ship’s commissioning. Although the U.S. government pays for

the commissioning ceremony itself, mostof the other ceremonies associated withthe commissioning are paid for throughtax-deductible contributions raised by theNavy League of the United States.Henry Cook, president and CEO of

the Somerset Trust Co., is coordinatingthe local fundraising campaign. His goalis to raise $50,000 from the SomersetCounty area. (Tax-deductible contribu-

a $350 million construction project toadd 11.5 miles to the Flight 93 MemorialHighway in Somerset County, numeroustrees were removed. Twenty sugarmaple trees were salvaged, cut andmilled for floor boards, and installed asthe museum’s floor (a ship typically doesnot include wood floors, but an excep-tion was made in this case by the Secre-tary of the Navy). Among other items,the ship’s museum includes a benchmade from local cherry, a shovel used atthe groundbreaking for the Flight 93National Memorial Visitor Center, a firehose from the Shanksville VolunteerFire Department and a photo taken bySomerset Rural Electric Cooperativemember Val McClatchey immediatelyafter the crash showing smoke from thecrash rising over a neighbor’s barn.It is only fitting, Vatavuk says, that

these items will remain with the ship aslong as it sails for the U.S. Navy. “Somerset County residents are com-

mitted to, and have compassion for, thefamilies of Flight 93,” Vatavuk explains.“That will never change.”

Big pictureMany Somerset County residents feel

a connection to the Flight 93 families,but Bob Kirst, president of Global SFCValve Corporation, headquartered inSomerset, also has a unique connectionto the USS Somerset. His company pro-vided several hundred valves installed inthe propulsion area to enable power tobe transferred to the USS Somerset’s pro-pellers, as well as part of the used totransfer fuel from a delivery ship to thereceiving ship.Kirst’s company, which is dedicated

100 percent to providing materials forthe U.S. Navy shipbuilding industry, has42 full-time employees, along with twofull-time U.S. Navy inspectors onsite fivedays a week. He has invited all of hisemployees (plus one guest per employee)to attend the commissioning ceremonyin Philadelphia on March 1.“I want everyone to be able to see the

big picture,” he says. “For the majority ofmy employees, this will be the first timethey get to be up close and personal witha war ship that includes critical materialthat we produce. What we make here is

USS SomersetThe USS Somerset — the U.S. Navy’s ninth San Antonio-class amphibious transportdock ship — is named in honor of the passengers and crew of United Airlines Flight93, whose actions on Sept. 11, 2001, prevented terrorist hijackers from reachingtheir intended target, forcing the plane to crash in Somerset County.

The ship joins the USS New York and the USS Arlington, also named in honor ofthose lost during the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center andthe Pentagon.

The USS Somerset is 684 feet long with a beam of 105 feet; four diesel enginesproduce 41,600 shaft horsepower, propelling the ship at speeds in excess of 22knots (25 miles per hour). Weighing 24,900 tons, the $1.2-billion ship features aflight deck that can accommodate CH-46 helicopters and MV-22 Osprey tilt-rotoraircraft, and a well deck that can launch and recover landing craft and amphibiousvehicles. The ship is capable of embarking a landing force of more than 1,000Marines. Its regular crew numbers between 350 and 400.

The ship’s keel was laid down on Dec. 11, 2009, at Northrop Grumman’s Avondaleshipyard in New Orleans with ship construction by Huntington Ingalls Industries. Itwas launched in April 2012 and christened on July 28, 2012. Her commissioning onMarch 1, 2014, marks the entrance of the man-of-war into the country’s naval force.Although it will be homeported in San Diego, the commissioning is scheduled forPhiladelphia because of the ship’s connection to Pennsylvania.

In addition to its primary focus of supporting the U.S. Navy, the USS Somerset alsowill undertake humanitarian relief operations around the world during disasters.

have a ship named after us,” Cook notes.“There have been other USS Somersetsnamed for other places, but this one isclearly named after us. … It is such aunique honor being bestowed upon usthat I hope many people will go toPhiladelphia to join in this once-in-a-life-time experience of a ship being broughtto life. I attended the christening cere-mony in New Orleans and was very,very powerfully moved by that experi-ence. Now, many of us have the opportu-nity to see the ship commissionedbecause it’s being done in Pennsylvania.”

another time that SomersetCounty residents can showtheir support for the familiesof the Flight 93 heroes, Cooknotes as he glances at a phototaken by Somerset residentDavid Breen hanging on hisoffice wall. A few days afterthe Sept. 11, 2001, crash, thecommunity organized amemorial ceremony for thefamilies.“We had to close the

streets of Somerset,” he recalls. “Liter-ally thousands of citizens gathered toembrace the families. This photo is fromthat night. … We were all engaged in theevents of Sept. 11, 2001, more than anyother part of the country outside of NewYork and Washington, D.C. … We aremiddle America. Nothing bad is sup-

posed to happen here, butthere we were, the focus ofthe war on terror. It is stillmind-boggling to think whathappened here.”Despite the sheer madness

of having a terrorist attackshatter the quiet countrysideof Somerset County, local resi-dents quickly rallied toembrace the families of the 40passengers and crew mem-bers who died.“There has been an

extraordinary bond forgedbetween the families of theheroes and the county,” Cooknotes. “That has beenexpressed to me countlesstimes by the families. Weopened our hearts to eachother. … At the christeningceremony, I said to one of thefamily members that I wasglad to hear the ship had apeaceful use as well as a mili-tary function. He turned tome and said, ‘That’s the spiritSomerset County put into theship.’ It choked me up thatthis is the relationship mycounty has established withthe families, who have said inpublic forums that heaven for-bid any other family should

have to go through this, but if they do,they pray it happens in a place like Som-erset County.”Gordon Felt, president of the Fami-

lies of Flight 93, an organizationfounded so the family members wholost loved ones would have a voice inthe creation of the national memorial inSomerset County, agrees that the bondbetween the families and the residentsof Somerset County is special. Felt losthis eldest brother, Edward, who was 41 at the time of the crash and living inMatawan, N.J.“The lives of the residents of Somer-

set County were immeasurably changedby this event, just as ours were,” Felt,who is a resident of Remsen, N.Y., notes.“They opened their homes to us. Theymade us feel Somerset County is oursecond home.”Once the national memorial was

planned and constructed, family mem-bers continued to be involved in theannual memorial ceremonies at thecrash site, as well as the ongoing effortsto personalize the USS Somerset.“Mary Jo Myers (the wife of Gen.

Richard Myers, former chairman of theJoint Chiefs of Staff and the ship’s spon-sor) has been working closely with theFamilies of Flight 93 to create a quilt,”Felt explains. “Each member of the crewand each passenger will have a square.The squares will be sewn together andquilted. That quilt will be displayed onthe ship.”Each family was asked to personalize

a quilt square memorializing their lovedone. Felt’s wife created the quilt piecefor his family, focusing on the loveEdward had for his familyand his faith.Felt traveled to New

Orleans several times duringthe shipbuilding stage andmet the men and womenwho were working there.“To meet those people and

see their dedication and inten-sity and the passion theybrought to this project hasbeen very inspiring,” Feltnotes. “Everyone associatedwith this project has a truepassion for the project. Asfamily members, we don’twant our loved ones to be for-gotten, either as individuals orfor their actions on 9/11. Theyserved to inspire us on thatday, today and into the future for newgenerations of Americans. The USS Som-erset is one additional avenue that willkeep their memories alive.”

Sailing onThe commander of the USS Somerset

— Capt. Thomas Dearborn — is deter-mined to do his part to keeping thosememories alive. Dearborn, who wasserving on the USS Mount Whitney asexecutive officer on Sept. 11, 2001, sayshe often thinks of the first responders,the lives lost that day and all the familieswho were affected by the terrorists.Prior to that September day, the

Mount Vernon, Maine, native had neverheard of Somerset County, but after hisfirst visit there to participate in the Sept.11, 2013, memorial ceremony, Dearbornsays he feels as though it is a familiarplace.“The hospitality, the warmth and

genuine nature of the community gaveme a welcoming feeling, as if I had livedthere my whole life,” he says.For an officer in the U.S. Navy to be

entrusted with the awesome responsibil-ity of a command of any ship is hum-bling, he says, but it is a special honorand privilege to have the opportunity toserve as the first commanding officer ofthe USS Somerset (he previously com-

manded the USS Tempest and the USSUnderwood).“This is a ship whose namesake rep-

resents the heroic actions of 40 crewand passengers of United Flight 93, hon-oring their collective sacrifice and thecourage displayed in the face of over-whelming adversity,” he notes. “I feel anunparalleled sense of pride workingalongside the nation’s finest sailors and

Marines. The officers and crew of Som-erset have been working diligently toprepare this ship for service. Throughour service in the U.S. Navy, we hope tohonor those who have sacrificed somuch to preserve the freedoms we cher-ish today.”Because of the combined efforts of the

U.S. Navy and the residents of SomersetCounty, the crew of the USS Somersetwill be surrounded by reminders of theheroes of Flight 93, as well as the careand compassion the Somerset Countycommunity provided to the families ofthose heroes in the aftermath of thecrash. In return, the crew will honorboth the heroes and the county throughtheir daily service, as well as their atten-dance each year at the Sept. 11 annualmemorial ceremony.“It is especially fitting that this ship is

not designed to be used only in war,”observes Vatavuk. “It also will deliversupplies in cases of natural disasters,delivering medical supplies and food. Itis a great tribute to the people who diedin a Somerset County field that a shipnamed in honor of them will providehumanitarian service throughout theworld.”l

‘FLIGHT OF VALOR’: The Somerset County Community Band, which commissioned ‘Flight of Valor’ by Ohiocomposer James Swearingen, will perform the piece on Feb. 28 during a reception before the USSSomerset commissioning ceremony. It tells the tragic story of United Airlines Flight 93 in music. Theband initially performed the piece on the first anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, crash. Members of theband are shown co-performing the piece with members of neighboring Macungie Band.

1974 One family makes a concerted effort toreduce fuel consumption to help the country getthrough the worst energy crisis in its history.

1984 Allegheny Electric Cooperative, Inc.,adopts a balanced energy program that includeshydro, nuclear, ground water heat pumps and loadmanagement.

2004 Steve Bishop, Corry Higher EducationCouncil, Erie, notes that organizations like hisaddress the lack of access to postsecondary edu-cation and training in Pennsylvania.

WITH PEAKS under 2,000 feet and an average annualsnowfall of 30 to 40 inches, Pennsylvania may notmatch the conditions of mountains in Colorado or Ver-mont, but don’t be misled. Pennsylvania’s ski resortshave an unbeatable devotion to customer service, as wellas some pretty steep grades that make the rugged ter-rain of rural Pennsylvania a match for novice and proskiers alike.

Rural Pennsylvania offers multiple choices of placesto ski spread out across the state. Most have investedhundreds of thousands of dollars in modern snow-mak-ing and chairlift systems, enabling them to survive in astate that doesn’t receive a lot of snow naturally. Many ofthe ski resorts also offer extensive ski school programsthat allow the entire family to participate.

Whether you are looking for a sophisticated skiresort with plenty of restaurants and nightlife, a family-oriented hill where your kids can learn to ski, or a no-frills mountain where your biggest choice is decidingwhat to wear on the slopes, there’s something for every-one at the ski resorts of Pennsylvania.

SMALL electric space heaters can reduceyour utility bills, but only if you set yourcentral heating system (heat pump or fur-nace) thermostat lower. They make senseif only one or two people live in a house,with no need to keep vacant rooms warm.

Another common situation is whenthere are rooms in a house that do notstay warm enough. Often a person getschilly in one of those problem rooms andturns the central thermostat higher. Thiswarms the entire house and more heat islost through the walls, windows, and ceil-ing. It is much more efficient to use asmall space heater in these rooms.

First, it is important to understand allelectric space heaters are effectively 100-percent efficient. Don’t let advertising stat-ing this fact influence your buying deci-sion. This just means all of the electricity itconsumes ends up as heat in your house.It does not mean it’s cheap to operate.

Also, the maximum heat most smallspace heaters can safely produce is about5,100 British thermal units per hour (Btuh).Houses typically use central heating sys-tems with a capacity of 50,000 to 100,000Btuh, so a single space heater cannot heatan entire house. Be wary of advertisingstating a small electric space heater canallow your central system to run dramati-cally less for 50 percent or more savings.

There’s not a “best” electric spaceheater for every situation. The properselection depends on the room and howyou plan to use the heater. For example,are you looking for quiet heat in a bed-room at night, heat for just one person

Hard factsabout spaceheatersSpace heaters can help, but they’renot always the right choice

watching TV, or will there be a group ofpeople in a large room?

Choose between direct radiant andconvection (air circulation) space heaters;both types have advantages. Within eachgroup, there are many comfort featuresand options that may impact your deci-sion. If you have young children, thereare also safety considerations.

Radiant space heatersRadiant-style heaters heat quickly.

These use a red-hot ribbon, long quartzor carbon tubes to produce infrared heatradiation similar to the sun’s rays. Theyprimarily heat objects and people directlyin front of them. Carbon tubes produceinfrared heat that penetrates objects andskin slightly below the surface. Thismakes it very comfortable, effective heat.

Radiant heaters are quiet and ideal forheating a specific spot. For example, I useone across from my computer desk to keepme warm while I am writing. My body andthe furniture in its path gradually reradiatethe heat so the room air also heats upslightly. To heat a slightly larger area, selecta model that automatically oscillates.

Convection space heatersConvection heaters are designed to

heat the air in the room. This is oftendone using a built-in fan to circulateroom air over the heating elements. Oil-filled, old radiator-style heaters use natu-ral air circulation (hot air rises) to moveroom air over the heat source, gentlywarming a room without bursts of heat.

For a living room, often the largestroom in a house, consider a convectionstyle heater. This heats an entire roommore effectively. Choose a model with athermostat and multispeed fan to controlthe heat output. A ceramic convectionheater is safe around young children. Ifthe air flow gets blocked, the heating out-put automatically drops and there are nored hot ribbons.

For a bedroom, where quiet operationis important, use an oil-filled radiator or aconvection heater with a low-speed set-ting. Another option is a radiant modelfacing the bed if you don’t mind the redglow. A horizontal one will heat the entirebed area.l

From dried to deliciousWITH January comes short, cold days and long, even coldernights. Why not warm up your kitchen with a slow-cookingsoup featuring dried beans or legumes, and then warm upyour insides by slowly savoring each and every spoonful?

This month, take time to peruse the dried beans at yourfavorite market. Pick up some black beans, lentils or splitpeas. Try some new recipes, and see if you agree with thosewho say dried is the way to go for nutritious, flavorful soups.Note that in the hierarchy of dried beans, black beans arenear the top in terms of prep time, requiring pre-soaking andtwo or more hours of cooking time. Lentils are near the bot-tom, requiring an easy 30 minutes or less of cooking time.

The added bonus of slowly cooked, homemade bean soupis that flavors have a chance to build and blend, and you havecomplete control of all ingredients. Feel free to adjust season-

ings to suit your personal taste. lA trained journalist, JANETTE HESS focuses her writing on inter-

esting people and interesting foods. She is a Master Food Volunteer

with her local extension service and enjoys collecting, testing and

sharing recipes.

EASY LENTIL CHILI


IT’S A shame we have to putaway those magical outdoorholiday lights. Without them,the post-holiday let down hitseven harder — we’re tuckeredout from rushing and bustlingand prepping and visiting andpartying, and then we removeall the pretty sparkle andexcitement of decorations. Ontop of that, we shut down allthat vibrant lighting. ThusJanuary, already one of thedarkest months of the year,slides somberly into obscurity.Why not use decorative out-door lights all year long?

I’m a fan of natural winterinterest in the landscape, butto be honest, this is an under-stated beauty. We have towork to notice details of tex-ture or slight variations ofcolor, or wait for a dusting ofsnow or glittery ice to get thefull effect. It’s nice, but there’sno wow factor.

How to create excitementoutside now? Planting proj-ects are out of the question —once we plunk the live Christ-mas tree in its pre-dug hole,there’s frozen ground. Butfinally, the winter projectswitch clicked in my brain

when I realized how much Ihate leaving home early in thedark and coming home in thedark. Let there be light!

Most of our homes sporthumdrum outdoor lighting. Itgoes unnoticed as long as itdoes its job. But that’s not tosay we don’t appreciate “artis-tic” lighting. And by usingtimers and energy-saving LEDlights, it is feasible to includedecorative lighting in our land-scapes. Specialty lighting takesa little more ingenuity and trialand error to get right, butwhen well-arranged, it canreally amp up our enjoymentof the space — year-round.

There are many lightingoptions. A few favoritesinclude: a light shining on theslightly icy waterfall in apond. Upward-directed spotshighlighting the shadows castby delicate birch branches, ahorizontally tiered dogwoodand the tall, dry and dramaticstems of an ornamental grassclump. Gentle downwardpools of light along a pathwaybringing a soft glow to thebordering azaleas blossoms.

One of my favoritevignettes in a previous gardenwas observing the surface ofthe little ornamental pond(water or ice, depending onthe season) twinkling as Isipped my first coffee of theday. I’d think about the gold-fish wintering down in thedepths, how the marvels ofnature (with a little help froman electric pump and a light-bulb or two) allowed me toenjoy a water feature yearround, night and day.

If you are not dialed in onthe power of decorative exte-rior lighting, begin observingit in public spaces where thelighting designer specificallyaimed to make it feel invitingin the evening. Upscale restau-rants, hotels, theaters, andoutdoor shopping areas oftenshow clever lighting effects, asdo commercial buildings withatriums or courtyards. Thesetechniques can be adapted touse at home.

When you plan your light-ing, experiment using flash-lights, camping lanterns, orbattery-operated candles (ordrag those holiday lights rightback out of storage) and seewhat kinds of effects can beachieved. Once your func-tional needs for ambulation,safety, and security are met,lighting turns as creative andornamental as your imagina-tion can dream up. Spotlight aplant to cast shadows in a cer-tain direction, or create a poolof light to feature the gazeboor fountain. Wrap twinkling

white lights along the limbs ofa tree, or decorate the toolshed with electrified paperlanterns.

If the above sounds too tra-ditional, then turn yourthoughts to the drama andexcitement of theaters ornightclubs. We don’t have tostop the party just becauseNew Year’s Eve has come andgone. Fire up a Bollywood-style, multicolored spinningdisco ball and tie it in withyour sound system for someserious fun. Line up the tikitorches and see how well theyreflect snow. Luminarias turnany evening walk into a magi-cal experience. Start fine-tun-ing the special effects for thatsummer dance party on thedeck, an enchanting candlelitpicnic under the stars, orwhatever type of gatheringfloats your boat. Summer willbe here before you know it!l

OUTDOORadventures b y M a r c u s S c h n e c k

WE HAD come full circle,through some of the meanestbrush and bramble the smallriver valley could throw upin our path, and now cutacross our earlier tracks inthe snow. The red fox’sprints revealed he had spentlong minutes studying ourtrail before assessing thedanger to be elsewhere andmoving directly back alongthe route he was followingwhen we had spotted hisfresh trail three hours earlierand began our tracking.

New-fallen snow is a bookwritten fresh, printed in thelanguage of tracks of all thatmove through it.

Today’s volume revealed afew hours in the life of alarge red fox taking care ofhis daily business.

He moved slowly, unhur-ried, cautious and careful,always close to the densetangles of undergrowth.

He spent considerabletime at the hopping tracks ofsome chickadees, nuthatchesand other small, mixed-flockbirds. Most likely he hadseen the birds making thetracks and, when no preda-tory opportunity presenteditself and the birds movedon, made the best of the situ-ation and learned a bit moreabout the potential prey.

He paused at the edge of asmall, grassy opening andpaced a downwind semi-cir-cle along about a third of theclearing. Then he apparentlysat just outside the opening,scanning the hillocks of sod.Something, probably a

mouse or vole, maybe mov-ing beneath the three or fourinches of snow, must havecaught his attention.

He stalked, waited, stalkeda bit farther and pounced.His entire body arced up,over and straight back down,front paws and snout first,right down into the snow.

The target had been follow-ing an under-snow trail thatwas the most obvious clue forme, but paled in usability forthe fox, with his super-sensesof hearing and smelling.Maybe at the last moment hehad sighted something, but hehad zoomed in on his prey wellbefore his vision came intoplay. His ears and his nose hadlocated a small rodent beneaththe snow that the fox likelynever saw before he pounced.

No evidence at the scene ofthe attack indicated the foxhad been successful, but just ashort way off from the open-

ing he dined with much lessenergy output. He had torninto the carcass of an alreadydead rabbit. Something hadhappened to the rabbit beforethe snow began falling about ahalf-day earlier. The full threeto four inches still coveredpart of the carcass, even afterthe fox had tugged at it to tearoff the bits and pieces thatmade up his meal.

The fox urinated on therabbit leftovers, attempted toscratch some dirt and leavesover the cache, gave up onthat, and moved on. He beganthe wide, meandering loopthat eventually took him backacross his own trail and mine.

It was a book well written,complete with plot twists andcharacters beyond anythingon the bookshelf.l

Guys like to bragabout how far they candrive on empty

I did a commentary a ways back ‘boutthings guys like to brag about. And I saidone a’ the biggest things guys like to bragabout is how fast we can get somewhere.Some guy down at the Duck Inn says hecan drive to Mudd Lake in a hour an’ ahalf. Some other guy will say he drove itin a hour. An’ before you know it, some-body is claimin’ they got there so fast theonly way they could’a done it is with a jetcar an’ a dry salt bed.

So anyways — here’s another thingguys like to brag about. And between youand me, I don’t even get this one. Theylike to brag how far they can get after thegas needle is on “E.”

Like me an’ the Meeker boys was dri-vin’ out in Dub’s truck to go huntin’recently. An’ this is way out, about a hourpast Mudd Lake. We’re talkin’ out inGod’s country.

An’ I says to ol’ Dub, “Dubster, youbetter put some gas in this old beast. Thissucker is just about on ‘E.’”

He looks at me an’ rolls his eyes.He says, “Earl, when my gauge hits

empty, I can drive another 70 miles!”I says, “Dub, you know where we’re

goin’ huntin’, right? We goin’ about as farinto the wilderness as you can get withoutfindin’ Survivorman. Get some gas, myfriend.”

An’ then ol’ Junior pipes up. He saysthe gas gauge on his truck don’t evenwork. He says his needle has been stuckon a quarter-tank for five years. He saysthat never scared him.

My only question is, “How do youknow when you need gas?”

He looks at me real funny an’ goes, “Itstops running.”

Wake up, America. Yeah, just behappy this idiot wasn’t accepted in pilotschool. He’d be up at 30,000 feet tryin’ toconvince passengers they got enough fuelto get across another two states.

Me an’Earl Junior was in the livin’room last night, jist flippin’ between 14different games on 14 different sportschannels. Because that’s what men do. Allof a sudden, my better half, Pearl, come in

there, grabs the remote out of my hand,flips off the TV and stares at us.

I said, “Woman, the house better be onfire, or an alien had better landed in thebackyard.”

Then she goes, “Boys, we’re gonnahave a family fun night.”

An’ I go, “Excuse me, but we just were.Until you come in here.”

Her response was, “Earl, THIS isgonna be family game night. One night aweek, all families is supposed to turn offthe TV an’ play games together. It’s sup-posed to bring us closer together.”

Of course, our family is like mostAmerican families. The thing that mostkeeps us together is stayin’ apart. ‘Causewe know if we was to get too close, we’dkill each other. Every time when somebrain-dead, clueless nitwit mows downhis family, there in the back of my head, Iwonder if they was havin’ a family gamenight.

She holds up a Scrabble box, an’ shegoes, “Does anybody wanna play Scrabble?”

An’ Earl Junior says, “I can’t spell,Mama.”

I got to second the boy on that. I figgerhe’ll never lead a life a crime ‘cause hecouldn’t write a hold-up note or a ransomdemand.

So she holds up another box, an’ shegoes, “Does anybody wanna play Pic-tionary?”

And Earl Junior goes, “I can’t draw,Mama.”

I got to second the boy on that. I haveseen the boy draw stick figures that a 4-year-old looked at, an’ then rolled his eyes.

An’ I stopped my better half before shecould move to the game that was behinddoor number three.

I says, “Pearl, if you truly wanna havefamily fun night, the next box you pull outbetter have a pizza in it.”

Wake up, America! We did orderpizza. We did have a family fun night. Mean’ Earl Junior watchin’ the games, an’Pearl playin’ solitaire. We had so muchfun, we might even do it again next week.

(SPECIAL) - Hydrogen peroxide is trusted by every hospital and emergency room in the country for its remarkable ability to kill deadly germs like E. coli and the swine flu virus. In fact, it has attracted so much interest from doctors that over 6000 articles about it have appeared in scientific publications around the world.

Research has discovered that hydrogen peroxide enables your immune system to function properly and fight infection and disease. Doctors have found it can shrink tumors and treat allergies, Alzheimer’s, asthma, clogged arteries, diabetes, diges-tive problems, migraine headaches, and arthritis pain.

Smart consumers nationwide are also discovering there are hundreds of health cures and home remedy uses for hydrogen peroxide. A new book called The Magic of Hydrogen Peroxide is now available that tells you exactly how to use hydrogen peroxide by itself... and mixed with simple everyday kitchen items... to make liniments, rubs, lotions, soaks and tonics that treat a wide variety of ailments.

It contains tested and proven health cures that do everything from relieving chronic pain to making age spots go away. You’ll be amazed to see how a little hydrogen peroxide mixed with a pinch of this or that from your cupboard can:

Hydrogen Peroxide for Aches, Pains and Clogged Arteries?

Besides killing E. coli and the swine flu virus, hydrogen peroxide also destroys botulism, salmonella and other harmful organisms. It works by making viruses and bacteria self-destruct on the cellular level. Amazingly, for something so powerful, hydrogen peroxide is safe.

It’s a safe powerful alternative to harsh chemical cleaners. Discover easy-to-make formulas that:
