POINT PLEASANT — A welcoming ceremony and light reception

Suresh Agrawal representing the PVH
medical staff and Mike Mullins, president and CEO for Mountain Health

POMEROY — The
Pomeroy Village Council
unanimously voted to
enter an agreement for
the natural gas aggregation.
Council selected Volunteer Energy to be the
supplier of the gas, which
was the recommendation
from Palmer Energy and
the lowest cost. The plan
has a ﬁxed rate of $381
for 24 months. Along with
the supplier agreement,
council voted to amend
the governance plan for
the aggregation. Palmer
Energy recommended the
amendments to ensure
the village is covered and
in a good situation.
Council unanimously
voted to adopt the Rates
and Amounts Resolution
submitted by the county
auditor and budget committee. This resolution is
adopted every year and
allows the village to collect property and levy tax.
Mayor Don Anderson
updated council on the
progress with the county
land bank. Anderson
said the next step is for
the county treasurer
to sign the Articles of
Incorporation, but that
has not been completed
yet. Anderson said he is
unsure as to why the step
has not been completed
by the treasurer.
Village resident and
merchant Paige Cleek
approached council on
behalf of the Pomeroy
merchants about various
issues. Cleek said there
were several lights on
lamp posts out and asked
the village to replace the
bulbs or call American
Electric Power to replace
theirs.
Cleek also mentioned
parking issues along Main
Street. She said there
were three vehicles parked
in front of stores for days
at a time. Cleek said the
vehicles belong to renters
and the landlord will not
ask them to park somewhere else. Anderson said
the merchants wanted the
parking meters removed.
Cleek asked if they could
add two-hour parking
limit signs, but Anderson
didn’t know how those
would be enforced.
Cleek told the Mayor
and Council that Oct. 5 is
the Reunion on the River
weekend, the farmer’s
market, and The Fabric
Shop’s annual Fall sale.
Cleek also heard that
there is a motorcycle toy
run on the same day. She
asked if the motorcycle
runs are supposed to
be approved by council.
Anderson said, yes, they
needed approval and he
did not know about the
toy run. Cleek is worried
about the town being
overcrowded and the
run interfering with the
scheduled reunion parade.
The next meeting of
Pomeroy Village Council
is scheduled for Monday,
Oct. 7 at 7 p.m.

Billings said though the

this weekend if at all possible.
Business is already
booming for local hotels
in the region, with many
nearby rooms reportedly

POINT PLEASANT
— The logistics of the
Mothman Festival include
preparing for an inﬂux of
an estimated 10-12,000
people pouring into Point
Pleasant this weekend.
Festival Organizer Jeff
Wamsley has been working with a host of local
entities, like the City of
Point Pleasant and the
Mason County Division
of Homeland Security and
Emergency Management,
to name a few, to ensure
the event is executed as
smoothly as possible.
This year, as in the
past, additional parking
will be made available at
Krodel Park on Saturday
only, starting at 7 a.m.
Parking fee is $5 per car
with all proceeds going
to the city’s parks and
recreation fund. Cars will
be placed until the park
is full which occurred
around 3 p.m. last year.
This parking area can
hold around 400 vehicles.
In addition, an optional
shuttle will be running
between Krodel and Second Street and will be
operated by the Mason
County Action Group.
The shuttle will accept
donations with all donations going to beneﬁt
area senior citizens. The
shuttle service will continue throughout the day.
Mayor Brian Billings,
who will be assisting with
the parking of cars, along
with other city ofﬁcials,

From page 1A

Clarence served in the
Civil Defense organization from 1957 to 1967,
and still owns the ﬂag he
put on his vehicle when
involved with the Civil
Defense. Clarence began
his working career with
the Central Ohio Paper
Company in Columbus,
Ohio and was employed
there for 13 1/2 years.
Clarence routinely fought
ﬁres at the plant 2-3 times
per week with a CO2
extinguisher. The plant
never had a ﬁre hose to
use, or needed to call the
ﬁre department; however, it was Clarence who
established a long standing policy, with company
approval, that the ﬁre
extinguisher would be
completely emptied on
each ﬁre to ensure it
would not rekindle.
Clarence’s ﬁrst experience ﬁghting ﬁre involved
being a part of a bucket
brigade and using a
reel pump to extinguish
structure ﬁres as a young
boy in Alfred, Ohio. Clarence’s volunteer ﬁreﬁghting career started after a
ﬁre when he was visiting
his parent’s home on Dec.
23, 1967. The Coolville
Fire Department was
dispatched to a structure
ﬁre at a nearby residence.
Clarence decided to go
to the ﬁre scene to help
the ﬁre departments,
but when he arrived, the
two story structure had
already caved in. Once
the ﬁre was extinguished,
Clarence headed a group
who sought to go around
the community and seek
items for the displaced
family. They began collecting items at 4 p.m. on
Dec. 23, and in less than
24 hours, the displaced
family moved into a
vacant residence in Chester, with nearly as many
belongings as they had
before the ﬁre.
After the ﬁre, Clarence
told his wife Lucille that
he wanted to move back
to Meigs County because
the people in Columbus
were not as helpful and
giving as the people in
Meigs County. From
there, Clarence moved
back to Letart in 1968,
and was a member of the
Racine Fire Department
for a year before moving
to Long Bottom and joining the Olive Township
Fire Department. Clarence became an ofﬁcial
member in the OTVFD
in 1991, and has served
in the positions of Chief,
Assistant Chief, and is
currently a Lieutenant in
charge of maintenance.
Clarence was honored for
his many years of service
to the OTVFD, and being
a loyal, longtime supporter of the Meigs County
Fireﬁghter’s Association.
The second honorary
dean, Gaston is a past
member of the Columbia
Township Volunteer Fire
Department.
Gaston, a highly
decorated Veteran of the
Paciﬁc theater in World
War II, joined the Columbia Township Fire Department in 1987. He was an
avid supporter for the
betterment of Columbia
Township, and especially
its volunteer ﬁre department. He was named the
Fire Chief for Columbia
Township in 1989, and is
credited with some of the
largest membership numbers that the department
has ever seen. Gaston’s
wife, Vivian, also served
the department’s auxiliary, assisting with many
of the extra tasks that
needed completed to beneﬁt the ﬁre department.
Gaston’s continual
focus involved improving the department with
training and serving

POINT PLEASANT — The Mitchell-NeaseHartley Building, which was the former home of
the Point Pleasant River Museum and Learning
Center until a devastating ﬁre last year, now has a
new owner.
On the morning of Sept. 7, the Mitchell-NeaseHartley Building was put up for public auction by
the City of Point Pleasant. At the recent council
meeting last Monday evening, City Attorney
Michael Shaw stated the public auction was successful and the building was purchased by Kyle
McCausland, who is also the Mason County Historical and Preservation Society (MCHPS) director and had advocated for saving the building.
McCausland bought the building at the minimum
bid amount made by the city. That bid was later
reported as $55,000. The sale becomes ﬁnal 30
days after auction.
Shaw also reported though the court case ﬁled
by McCausland against the city in regards to the
demolition of the Mitchell-Nease-Hartley Building is still pending at this time, the case will be
moot and will be dismissed as McCausland is now
the owner of the building and will not be going
through with demolition, but rather restoration of
the building.
The new home of the river museum is yet to
be announced by Jack Fowler, executive director
of the river museum, but he commented the new
home of the newly built river museum will be on
Main Street in Point Pleasant.
On Thursday, a river museum board meeting
was held and Fowler and the fellow board members discussed the proposed agreement of the new
property. The location will be announced once the
agreement is ﬁnalized. Fowler commented he is
looking forward to a new building.

Department.
He started as a volunteer ﬁreﬁghter in 1977

became a charter member. He has been serving
as Fire Chief at Salem
for several years, and is
still active with the Wilkesville VFD. He enjoys
attending the county ﬁre
meetings in both Meigs
and Vinton counties.
Midkiff worked on
dairy farms while his
children were growing
up, and then worked as
a coal miner at Southern
Ohio Coal Company until
he retired. He’s been an
active member of Star

than 50 years. Last October, he was selected as

Celebrating ‘Employees of the Month’
POINT PLEASANT — Over the
last several months, Pleasant Valley
Hospital has recognized various
employees for being chosen as the
Employee of the Month.
Those recently receiving the
honor, have been Angie Curfman, Amber Whittington, Christy
McDonald and Jesse Lathey.
Curfman was nominated by an
employee who was attending a
memorial service in the chapel. A
gentleman came through the lobby
and he appeared to be having difﬁculty walking. She offered to take
him in a wheelchair. He accepted
the offer was very appreciative.
This is a true example of putting
the patient’s needs ﬁrst, according
to PVH.
Curfmam is currently pursuing
her bachelor’s degree in Nursing
and was the 2019 recipient of the
Pleasant Valley Hospital Health

Foundation’s Vitus Hartley Jr.
Scholarship.
Whittington was nominated
because a patient came to one of
the physician ofﬁces and didn’t
have the money to purchase a
needed personal item. She took it
upon herself to meet that need and
purchase the item for the patient.
This exceeds the expectation of
providing excellent customer service, according to PVH.
McDonald was nominated by a
fellow employee who stated she
was busy and was falling further
behind with multiple tasks that
were time sensitive. McDonald’s
physician was out of the ofﬁce for
three days, and she offered to help.
She took a stack of requests and
completed them. Any time help is
needed, she is always willing. She
is a happy, smiling and a positive
employee, according to PVH.

Lathey was nominated because he
went to one of the physician ofﬁces
to ﬁx issues caused by down time
events. According to PVH, “he was
extremely kind and worked diligently to address all their issues. He
continually asked what they needed
to take care of the patients, prioritizing the work with patient care in
mind. He is always so pleasant even
in the worse situations. He always
comes in with a smile on his face.”
According to PVH, all of those
mentined are “excellent examples
of the PVH Employee of the
Month, and we are very grateful to
have them on our team.”
In this recognition, they each
received a $100 check and a VIP
parking space. They will also be
eligible for the Customer Service
Employee of the Year award with a
chance for $500.

Walmart donation supports Opioid Awareness Summit
Submitted

The West Virginia Secondary
Schools Activities Commission
(WVSSAC) recently announced
Walmart has donated $50,000
in support of the organization’s
ﬁrst Opioid Awareness Summit
aimed at empowering teens with
the knowledge and tools to ﬁght
against abuse and make healthy
choices.
The two-day event is scheduled
for September 17 at the West
Virginia Coliseum in Morgantown
and Sept. 18 at Marshall University’s Cam Henderson Center in
Huntington and will include presentations from national and international experts on opioid awareness, prevention and treatment.
The summit will also feature
former NBA star Chris Herren,
inspirational speaker Rhonda Sciortino and youth empowerment
performer Shaun Derik. More
than 150,000 middle and high
school students from across West
Virginia are expected to attend or
watch it online via a live stream.
“Walmart is proud to sup-

port WVSSAC and its efforts to
provide students the tools and
knowledge to ﬁght opioid use in
their communities and throughout
the state of West Virginia,” said
Nemish Shah, Walmart’s regional
director of Health and Wellness
and a trained pharmacist himself.
“The students who will take part
in this event are our leaders of
tomorrow. We appreciate their
recognition of the power that
comes from working with their
peers and a shared commitment
to making a positive change in our
great state.”
No state has been hit harder by
the opioid crisis than West Virginia which has the highest rate
of opioid-related overdose deaths
in the United States. According to
Bernie Dolan, WVSSAC executive
director, the Summit is the ofﬁcial
kick off of a three to ﬁve-year initiative aimed at providing prevention education and fostering the
growth of a peer-to-peer support
system that will give students
the knowledge to make informed
decisions when it comes to their

overall health and wellness.
“Having the support from businesses like Walmart gives us the
critical ability to engage more students across the state and enable
them to become ‘game changers’
for the future of West Virginia”
Dolan said. “To make a difference
in the lives of our younger generation, we have to reach every
county and every community and
organizations like Walmart are
enabling us to do just that.”
In addition to supporting initiatives like WVSSAC’s Opioid
Awareness Summit, Walmart has
implemented its own policies and
programs aimed at curbing opioid
abuse and misuse. In 2018 the
retailer began offering free opioid
disposal solution, DisposeRx, in
all its pharmacies. Walmart and
Sam’s Club also began restricting
initial acute opioid prescriptions
to no more than a seven-day supply. In addition, by early 2020, the
two companies will start requiring
e-prescriptions for controlled substances to prevent erroneous or
fraudulent prescriptions.

Why homeowners should add more
exterior light to their properties
H

omeowners are
increasingly realizing
the benefits of
improving the exteriors
of their home, which can
be just as valuable as
improving the interior
spaces. As individuals
design picturesque
garden beds and cultivate
lavish lawns or revamp
exteriors with architectural
features, they probably
want to spotlight these
improvements. This is
where exterior lighting can
be put to great use.

pavement. Outdoor lighting
can illuminate pathways,
entryways and other
areas for safer access for
homeowners and their
guests.

Exterior illumination can
cast a glow on various
features, but there are many
other reasons to increase
lighting around the exterior
of a home.

Safeguard security: A
well-lit home may be less
likely to be targeted by
burglars than one swathed
in darkness and shadows.
Lights can remain on all
evening or be motiontriggered. Setting lights on
timers also ensures that the
home is illuminated whether
residents are home or not.

Safety: Trips and falls can
occur at night when trying
to traverse walkways and
landscapes in the dark, as
it can be difficult to see
rocks, stairs and uneven

House POWERWASHING TIPS

P

owerwashing, also known as pressurewashing, utilizes a high-velocity water spray
to remove dirt and residue from the exterior
surfaces of a home. It is frequently used on vinyl
siding, concrete and sometimes wood decks to
treat mildew and other growth that accumulates
over time.
Powerwashing can be a great way to remove
grime without having to scrub by hand. But
it requires a delicate touch to get it right.
Sometimes it is best to leave the job to
professionals. But homeowners willing to give it a
go can try powerwashing themselves, as various
stores rent power washers.
The home improvement website ImproveNet says
that, until very recently, pressure washers were
almost exclusively commercial machines sold
to professionals or rented to do-it-yourselfers.
Lately manufacturers have targeted homeowners
looking to buy with lightweight options. For
those who see powerwashing as a routine
venture, purchasing a unit may be worth the
investment.
It is important to exercise caution when
operating a powerwashing machine. The highvelocity spray can tear through skin. It is key to
get a feel for the washer, and try less pressure
first to get a handle on the magnitude of the
tool.
Don safety gear prior to using a pressure washer.
Gloves, eye protection and ear protection can
be handy. Most units will connect to a standard

Extend outdoor
entertaining: Ample
lighting can increase the
amount of time one can use
outdoor spaces and make
them the perfect gathering
spot. As autumn arrives,
days become shorter.
However, patios, porches
and more can get extended
use with lighting.

Create drama: Landscape

lighting designers can
establish focal points
around the landscape and
highlight the best features
of a property. Uplighting
in trees, silhouetting
techniques to showcase
plants and spotlights to
show off architectural
features are all options for
homeowners to consider.
Add value: The experts
at Parker Homescape, a
landscape design service,
say that exterior lighting
can add roughly 30 percent
to the value of a home.
They also indicate that 50
percent of all home buyers
say that outdoor lighting is
important when buying a
home. If current residents
are thinking about selling,
now may be the time to
invest in exterior lighting.
,PSURYLQJ�D�KRPH·V�H[WHULRU�
may be as simple as adding
more lighting to improve
functionality and beauty.

Powerwashing the exterior
of the home can be an effective
way to clean it in the spring and fall.

garden hose. Choose old clothing and expect
to get wet. Never point a powerwasher hose at
anyone and do not attempt to rinse feet or hands
in the spray.
The renovation resource The Family Handyman
suggests starting with a wide-degree nozzle to
test out the spray on the surface that needs to
be cleaned. A 15- or 25-degree nozzle is usually
the wand for general cleaning and paint stripping
without damaging the surface of the home.
Experiment with an optimal distance of the
washer wand to get the desired cleaning effects
without causing any damage. Work using a
horizontal and slightly downward angle to avoid
driving water up under the siding of a home.
Avoid spraying any electric wires or components
on the home. Also, try not to spray upward, and
angle the spray away from doors, windows and
vents.
Some washers have reservoirs that will hold a
detergent solution. Choose the right detergent
for the job. Keep in mind that cleansers
containing bleach can damage surrounding
plants, so they may need to be covered while the
washing takes place.
Avoid the use of ladders when operating a
powerwasher. The push-back from the wand can
cause falls. Instead, opt for an extension wand to
address the upper reaches of a home.
Powerwashing a home is an effective way to
remove stubborn grime and refresh the look of a

How to create a winter-friendly
outdoor living space
In its 2017 Home Design Trends
Survey, the American Institute of
Architects found that consumers
continue to emphasize practical
features that expand the functionality
of their homes via heavy investment
in outdoor living spaces. The
survey found that the popularity
of outdoor living spaces increased
by 72 percent between 2012 and
2017, highlighting just how much
homeowners enjoy spending time
outdoors. By taking measures to
make their outdoor living spaces
winterproof, homeowners can enjoy

these areas of their homes even
more.
Cover your deck. A covered deck
may appear to make the space less
enjoyable during spring and summer.
However, covered decks can protect
residents from the sun on especially
hot days while also making the
space more functional in winter. An
overhead shelter on a deck can be
outfitted with heaters (and fans to
provide a cooling effect in summer)
and allow residents to sit outside and
watch snow fall without getting wet.
Plant the right trees. Coniferous
trees prevent wind, which can
be especially harsh in winter.
Homeowners who are unsure about
which direction wind typically
comes from can consult a landscape
architect to determine where to plant
WKH�WUHHV�WR�HQVXUH�WKH\·UH�

most effective.
Fire up the patio. A firepit or
fireplace can warm up an outdoor
living area, making such a space
warm and cozy even on a cold winter
night. A patio with a built-in firepit
can cost a pretty penny, but such
an addition can withstand winter
weather better than a standalone
firepit, which might be vulnerable to
being tipped over by winter winds.
Install lighting. The sun sets early in
ZLQWHU��VR�KRPHRZQHUV�ZRQ·W�EH�DEOH�
to rely on natural light to illuminate
their outdoor living spaces well into
the evening like they do in summer.
Heat lamps can be used to both
warm and illuminate a space, serving
dual, budget-friendly functions.
With the right adjustments, outdoor
living spaces can be enjoyed
throughout winter.

How to level an uneven yard

M

any things can cause a yard to be
uneven. Drainage problems, leaky
pipes beneath the grass and pests
can wreak havoc on a yard, resulting in
uneven turf that can be both unsightly
and unsafe.
Addressing an uneven yard might be
KRPHRZQHUV·�XOWLPDWH�JRDO��EXW�WKH�
home experts at BobVila.com note that
homeowners should first figure out
ZKDW·V�FDXVLQJ�WKH�SUREOHP�DQG�PDNH�
fixing that their first task. Fixing uneven
ground above leaky pipes will only be a
temporary fix if the leaks themselves are
not addressed. Professional contractors

causing the problem. However, once the
underlying issue has been addressed,
many homeowners can handle the task of
leveling an uneven yard on their own.
Get the right tools and materials.
Leveling an uneven yard may require
various tools. Thatch will likely need to be
removed from the lawn before it can be
leveled out, so homeowners will need a
thatch rake or dethatching machine to get
this task started. Dethatching machines
are generally necessary for especially
large lawns, and these can typically be
rented from home improvement retailers.
A shovel, bow rake and push broom are
other tools homeowners will likely need.
Materials such as topsoil, compost and
sand will be necessary as well, and these
are typically sold at local garden centers.

Fill in areas beneath the grass. Areas
beneath the grass can be filled in with a
mixture of sand, topsoil and compost.
The experts at BobVila.com advise using

two parts sand, two parts topsoil and one
part compost. Each of these components
plays its own role in restoring the yard
to full health. Sand helps the ground
stay level, while the topsoil and compost
provide the grass with valuable nutrients.
If the low spots are not especially deep,
this mixture can be applied without
removing the grass. However, before
filling in holes when addressing spots
that are deeper than two or three inches,
remove the grass then place it back in
place once the hole has been filled. To dig
up the grass, put the blade of the shovel
at the outside of the low spot before
sliding it under about two or three inches
so you do not upset the grass roots.
Spread the top dressing. Once the holes
have been filled and the grass has been
placed back on the ground (if it was
removed), spread the top dressing mix
with a shovel. The mix should be spread
evenly with the back of the bow rake at a
depth of no more than half an inch. Make
sure the mix is worked into the low spots
DQG�WKDW�LW·V�QRW�FRPSOHWHO\�FRYHULQJ�WKH�
grass, as that will suffocate the lawn. If
necessary, use the push broom to work
the mix into the soil.
Water the lawn. Finally, water the lawn
to help the top dressing settle into the
grass. If necessary, repeat the process of
applying top dressing and watering until
the lawn is even and has returned to full
strength.
An uneven lawn is an eyesore and
potentially harmful. But fixing an uneven
lawn is simple once homeowners discover

Did you know?

Oxygen is essential for the roots
of grass to breathe and grow
strong enough to support healthy
lawns. But according to the Center
for Agriculture, Food and the
Environment at the University of
Massachusetts Amherst, compacted
soil can produce a decrease in
oxygen content that can make
it hard for roots to thrive. Soil
compaction can result from a
number of activities, including
walking on grass or driving or
parking vehicles on grass. When soil
is compacted, it breaks into small

particles that reduce the amount of
pore space in the soil. That makes it
hard for water, oxygen and nutrients
to get through, threatening the
strength of the roots and putting the
grass in jeopardy. Aerating a lawn
can help homeowners foster strong
root growth and healthy grass.
When to aerate may be contingent
upon local climate, so homeowners
who suspect the soil in their yards
is compact should consult with a
local landscaping professional to
determine the best time to aerate
their lawns.

G

rass that is greener

with perfectly
manicured shrubs set the
tone for impressive curb
appeal. Creating such
landscapes requires hard
work, and while doing such
work, homeowners may
find they have to contend
with certain issues that are
adversely affecting their
lawns and gardens.
Wetness in a landscape
is one problem many
homeowners encounter.
Wet areas in a lawn not
only become muddy and
messy, but they also can
cause permanent damage
to the grass. Puddles
can kill the roots, while
wet spots can freeze
and damage the lawn.
Particularly problematic
spots can remain soggy
for days, while some
people find their yards are
seemingly always wet.
Wet spots can be caused by
various factors. Compacted
soil may prohibit adequate
drainage, as can heavy
clay or less porous soil
materials. Landscape
grading issues may

be another
concern.

Understanding what

Heavy, compacted soil can
be aerated and amended
with sand and compost.
Tilling the soil and mixing
in these soil additions
may help prevent further
drainage issues.
Homeowners may need
to have their property
professionally regraded
to alleviate wet issues.
Otherwise, the installation
of a drainage system
may be necessary. An
underground trench or pipe
can redirect water from wet
areas to sewers. (Check
with local municipalities
about the legality of

solution is to build up
low-lying areas that collect
water with soil.
Homeowners who want the
path of least resistance
may consider embracing
the wet spot of their
landscape by turning it into
a man-made pond. Lining
a pond and installing an
air pump will help circulate
the water and keep it from
becoming a breeding

Water issues in a landscape

How mulched leaves help your lawn
V

arious chores are synonymous
with certain times of year.
For example, cleaning a pool
is a summertime task. In addition,
rare is the instance that Mother
Nature forces anyone to break

been a task for fall afternoons, but
homeowners may be surprised to
learn that they might be better off
putting their rakes in permanent
mothballs.
In the 1990s, turfgrass specialists
at Michigan State University began
exploring the potential benefits of
leaving mulched leaves on a lawn
instead of raking them and leaving
them for curbside pickup. While the

researchers noticed an obvious leaf
residue on the lawn after mulching,
they noted that it only sticks
around for a few days. Eventually,
the tiny pieces sifted down into the
lawn, ultimately serving to control
future weed growth while also
providing the lawn with essential
nutrients. Over time, researchers
noted that homeowners who
mulched rather than raked their
leaves needed less fertilizer to give
their lawns a green look in spring,
saving homeowners the effort and
cost associated with fertilizing.

decomposing pieces of leaves
cover up bare spots between turf
plants, which have traditionally

proven to be excellent spots for
weed seeds to germinate. In fact,
MSU notes that homeowners
can expect a nearly 100 percent
decrease in dandelions and
crabgrass after mulching leaves for
just three years.
Depending on the type of mower
being used, up to six inches of
leaves can be mulched at a time.
Push mowers can handle smaller
amounts, though can still be as
effective as ride-on mowers.
Fall may be synonymous
with raking leaves. However,
homeowners who want to give
their lawns a healthy boost should
consider putting their rakes away
and mulching their leaves this fall.

weather is an important part of maintaining a
healthy garden that thrives from year to year.
Timing is of the essence when winterizing a

to winterize is after the first hard freeze in the fall.
A hard freeze occurs when temperatures dip below
freezing overnight. When that occurs, annual
plants and vegetables are killed off and perennial
plants, which grow back year after year, begin
going dormant.
Better Homes and Gardens notes that perennials
are the easiest plants to prepare for winter, as they
require just a little cutting back and mulching to
be safe from cold weather. But no two perennials
are alike, so homeowners should consult their
local gardening center for advice on how to
prepare their particular perennials for the coming
months.
The steps necessary to winterize annuals depends
on which type of annuals, cool- or warm-climate,
you have. Cool-climate annuals should be covered
with polyspun garden fabric when light frost is
in the forecast. In addition, Better Homes and
Gardens recommends pulling dead annuals and
adding them to a compost pile after a killing frost.
Any annuals that developed fungal disease should
be discarded. Mulch annual beds with a threeto four-inch layer of chopped leaves or similar
materials, spreading the mulch only two inches
thick over self-sown seeds you want to germinate

Add a pop of color

in the spring.
Warm-climate annuals also should be covered
with polyspun garden fabric when light frost
is expected. Seeds of cold-hardy annuals can
be planted for extended winter bloom, while
gardeners also can collect seeds of warm-weather
plants that will breed true to type. Even though
\RX·UH�ZLQWHUL]LQJ��Better Homes and Gardens
recommends that gardeners continue to weed
and water their plant beds and plants while also
keeping an eye out for pests. If organic mulch has
decomposed or thinned out, replace it with a new
layer.
Get Busy Gardening!TM notes that the bulbs of
tender plants like dahlias and tuberous begonias
can be dug up and overwintered in their dormant
state. All dead foliage should be removed after
the bulbs have been dug up, and the bulbs should
be allowed to dry out a little before being stored.
Container gardeners can overwinter their tender
bulbs in their pots inside, but be sure to remove
their foliage and store them in a dark, cool place
that maintains temperatures above freezing.

How to store firewood the right way
A

fireplace is a cozy and warm
spot around which a family
can gather. The home and
real estate resource HomeGuides.
com indicates that 60 percent of new
homes have a fireplace, which is up
from 36 percent in the 1970s.
Naturally, fueling a fireplace for the
season may require homeowners with
wood-burning units to keep an ample
supply of wood at the ready. How
that wood is stored is important, as
properly stored firewood can prevent
waste and other issues around the
house.
Wood that is freshly cut has a water
content of 60 percent or more.
Yet, for best burning ability, wood
should be near 20 percent in water
content. Green wood is hard to ignite
and will not burn nearly as well or
efficiently as seasoned wood. Another
concern associated with green wood
is that it can contribute more to
creosote accumulation in the flue of
a fireplace. Creosote is a combustible

material that may lead to fires if left
unchecked.
According to BioAdvanced®, a
science-based lawn, garden and
home improvement innovator,
seasoning wood typically takes six
months to a year. Homeowners may
opt to purchase seasoned wood that
already has sat and dried.
Homeowners who have an abundance
of firewood have to store it
somewhere. Log Splitters Direct
suggests choosing a dry, breezy area
of the property that is about 20 feet
from the nearest door to the house.
This helps avoid hitchhiker pests from
coming inside with the wood, such
as termites, ants, spiders, and mice.
Do not stack the wood flush against
a structure. It should be at least a few
inches away to allow airflow behind
the stack.
Stick to organized rows of wood no
more than four feet high. Log racks
and pallets and posts will keep the
wood up and off of the ground where

moisture and rotting can develop.
Placing the logs in an unorganized
pile will impede air flow and cause
the wood to rot rather than continue
to dry and season even more.
Homeowners also should use a
cover to protect seasoned firewood
from the elements. Position a tarp
or plastic sheeting so it blankets the
top of the stack and extends a few
inches down the sides. Keep the sides
mostly exposed to air. Others prefer
to stack it in a barn or shed or under
an overhang.
Green wood is less expensive than
seasoned wood. Those who prefer
this method should do so in the early
spring and let it season over the next
several months.
Bankrate says that the cost of a cord
of wood varies across the country,
but in general one can expect to pay
between $120 and $180 for a cord of
hardwood that is split and seasoned.
This price may be higher in midwinter when demand increases.

How to protect wood floors from inclement weather

W

ood floors are
a worthwhile
investment that
can improve the beauty
and function of just about
any room in a home.
Even though wood floors
are durable, and new
protective treatments help
seal out many of the things
that may have damaged
floors in the past,
homeowners still need to
prioritize protecting their
hardwood floors.
Certain seasons of the
year can be more harsh
on wood floors than
others. For example,
seasons characterized by
moisture and precipitation,
particularly the early
spring, winter and fall,
can be hard on wood
floors. The experts at
ServiceMaster Clean say
that cold, snowy days can
damage wood floors, and
Lumber Liquidators agrees

Bidwell Hardware

Homeowners need not give
up on hardwood if they live
in an area that sees all four
seasons. They just need to
take a few steps to keep
floors looking beautiful.
Clean up the salt. Salt
that keeps sidewalks and
streets clear of snow and
ice inadvertently gets
tracked inside a home.
Hard chunks of salt can
scratch wood floors, and,
if left to sit, that salt can
eventually cause white
marks and other stains.
5RXWLQHO\�YDFXXPLQJ�
and sweeping up salt is
necessary to protect wood
floors.
Invest in shoe storage.
Wet or snowy boots can
create puddles around the
house. Have a special mat
or tray by the front door
where wet shoes can be

Use water-wicking mats.
Homeowners will probably
need a few extra mats
around to tame errant
drips and wipe shoes. Any
entrance that might be
used by people or pets
should be protected. Try
to avoid petroleum-based,
rubber-backed mats, as
they could discolor the
wood floor.
Control humidity indoors.
Cold, dry air in a home can
be problematic because
the moisture in the wood

What causes curled shingles?
N

o homeowner wants
to look at the exterior
of his or her home
and see roof damage.
Such damage may lead
homeowners to think
they need a new roof, a
potentially costly expense
that can quickly throw
household budgets into a
state of disarray.
According to the
HomeAdvisor, the average
homeowner spends a little
more than $7,600 installing
a new roof. Various factors,
including the size of a
home and the type of roof
homeowners prefer, will
affect the cost of a roof

replacement. In addition,
homeowners who see roof
damage can rest assured
that not all roof problems
will necessarily require a
replacement roof to be
installed.
Curled shingles are a
problem many homeowners
have encountered. This
particular problem is not
always indicative that a roof
is on its way out. In fact, the
home improvement resource
This Old House notes that,
as asphalt shingles age,
their corners often begin to
curl downward or upward.
Homeowners who notice this
early enough can glue down

the curled section of each

curling. Doing so quickly
can prevent curled shingles
from contributing to more
widespread damage.

ventilation may be
contributing to curled
shingles as well.
Homeowners with attics in
their home may see curled
shingles on their roofs
because moisture is building
up in their poorly ventilated
attics. In addition to causing
damage such as curled
shingles, a poorly ventilated
attic allows moisture
to build up, potentially
contributing to mold
growth. Mold presents a
host of additional problems,
including some that can
adversely affect the health

Moisture and poor

Improper roof installation

also may be the culprit
behind curled shingles.
When a roof is not installed
correctly, shingles may not
be aligned or nailed down
in the right way. This might

to curl on recently installed
roofs.
Curled shingles are
unsightly and can pose a
significant threat to a home
if not addressed promptly.
Homeowners can protect
themselves and their roofs
by working with skilled
roofing professionals, who
can diagnose issues like
curled shingles and offer the
right solutions.

The threat posed by ice dams

C

old, snowy weather can present
various issues for homeowners to
contend with. One such problem, ice
dams, can cause damage to walls, ceilings
and other areas.
The University of Minnesota Extension
says that an ice dam is a ridge of ice
that forms at the edge of the roof and
prevents melting snow from draining
properly. A complex combination of heat
loss from a home, snow cover and outside
temperatures can lead the formation of ice
dams. An ice dam will be fed by melting

snow above it and cause a backup at the
edge of the roof.
Dams can cause gutters to tear off and
loosen shingles and may lead to water
backing up and pouring into the home,
advises This Old House. Ice dams also can
contribute to soggy insulation, making the
LQVXODWLRQ�ORVH�LWV�SURWHFWLYH�5�YDOXH�DQG�
becoming a magnet for mold and mildew.
Homeowners can do a number of things to
temporarily prevent the formation of ice
GDPV��+HDWHG�FDEOHV�FOLSSHG�WR�WKH�URRI·V�
edge in a zigzag pattern can help prevent

dams that lift shingles. Pushing snow
off the roof can help. Laying an ice melt
product in gutters to help melt the ice that
forms also can prevent ice dams.
More permanent solutions involve keeping
the entire roof the same temperature as
the eaves by increasing ventilation, adding
insulation and properly sealing air leaks
that can warm the underside of the roof.
This may involve calling in a professional
contractor. Such an investment is well
worth it, as it can prevent much more
costly damage down the line.

Prepare your deck for winter
H
omeowners often take
steps to winterize
the interior of their
homes in the weeks before
ZLQWHU·V�DUULYDO��EXW�VXFK�
efforts should extend to the
outside of a home as well.
Decks make for great
gathering places when the
weather permits. Decks
are where many people
spend their free time and
eat their meals come spring
and summer, when the
temperatures climb and
the sun sets well into the
evening. But as summer
turns to fall, homeowners
must take measures to
protect their decks from
potentially harsh winter
weather.
Inspect the deck for
problems. Decks tend to be

used more often in summer
than any other time of
year. That makes fall and
early winter an ideal time
to inspect for wear and tear
and any additional issues
that may have cropped up
throughout the summer.
Damaged boards and
loose handrails should be
fixed before winter arrives,
especially for homeowners
who plan to use their decks
in winter. Fixing such
issues in winter and even
into spring may be difficult
thanks to harsh conditions,
so make good use of the
relatively calm autumn
weather to fix any issues on
the deck.
Clear the deck of potted
plants. Even homeowners
who intend to use their
decks in winter should

remove potted plants from
the deck in the fall. The
home improvement experts
at HGTV note that moisture
can get trapped between
deck boards and plastic,
wood or ceramic containers
in cold weather, and that
can contribute to mildew,
discoloration or decay.
Store unnecessary
furniture. Homeowners
who like to sit on their
decks in winter will no
doubt want to leave some
furniture out over the
winter. But those with lots
of furniture for entertaining
guests can likely move the
majority of that furniture
into a garage or shed for
the winter. HGTV notes
that doing so will prevent
the potential formation of
blemishes on the deck that

can result from inconsistent
weathering.
Remove snow, but do so
carefully. Prolonged contact
with snow and ice can
damage a deck. As a result,
homeowners should clear
snow from their decks when
accumulation is significant.
HGTV recommends using a
snow blower on the deck to
avoid scarring. If a shovel
must be used, push snow
with the planks to reduce
the risk of damaging the
deck.
Homeowners who take
steps to protect their decks
throughout the winter
months can ensure these
popular areas are ready
once entertaining season
returns in
the spring.

“We can come together to do these
things to save lives,” DeWine said at the
time.
DeWine spokesman Dan Tierney said
Tuesday that administration ofﬁcials
have been meeting with legislators
and Second Amendment proponents
to ﬁnalize legislative language that is
constitutional, would have signiﬁcantly
affect Ohioans and would ultimately be
approved.
House Speaker Larry Householder
has said Republicans have concerns
about background checks and the red
ﬂag law. Senate President Larry Obhof
has said DeWine’s proposed red ﬂag
language has alleviated the concerns of
many of his members.
