The rain date is Saturday, Sept. 15. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the show. “The first 100 cars to register will get a free insulted tumbler with our logo and the 10th anniversary logo,” noted Joe O’Fria, club president. Owners interested in displaying their vehicles will be asked to pay a registration fee and to donate three nonperishable food items for the food bank. Registrants will be entered into a drawing to win a cash prize.

All makes and models of vehicles will be featured on Sept. 8 at the Top Dead Center Motor Club’s 10th annual Drive Out Hunger Car Show and Food Drive to benefit the Chester County Food Bank.

This season’s first general meeting of the Newcomers Club of Central Chester County (NCCCC) will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 11, at 7 p.m. at Downingtown United Methodist Church, 751 Lancaster Ave., Downingtown.

Spectators are invited to attend the car show for free, but they are asked to donate nonperishable food items for the CCFB. A truck from the food bank will be on hand to accept the donated food. Monetary donations will also be accepted. In addition, a local grocery store will have prefilled bags of food that people may purchase for a nominal donation and give to the food bank. “We will put those bags right on the truck,” O’Fria said, noting that last year the club collected more than 2,500 pounds of food at the car show. “Hopefully, we’ll hit 3,000 pounds this year,” he added. The upcoming show will feature cars, motorcycles and trucks ranging from antiques to modern-day vehicles. “We are expecting (more than) 250 custom cars, hot rods, trucks and bikes. All (vehicles) are welcome,” said O’Fria. See Drive Out Hunger pg 6

I was holding out for a role I could really feel passionate about.” McComas noted that there is a musical version of the play and several film versions as well. “We wanted to stick with the play, which is the closet version to the novel,” she said, noting the production is suitable for people of all ages. “With a show like this, it will probably be girls’ night out or date nights. I believe that there will be a lot of mothers who will want to bring their daughters as well.” McComas said that preparing for her role in the play had to fit in with being a mother to three young children and running the theater. “Memorizing the lines has been the challenging part,” she said. “I

“Little Women” from pg 1 been president of the Hankin Library Friends for the last eight years, is also SALT’s marketing director,” explained Lauren McComas, SALT’s president and artistic director. “(Judy) thought it was great for the Friends of the Library to partner with us on ‘Little Women’ since it is a literary work based on the novel.” “Little Women,” set during the Civil War, is a coming-of-age drama about four sisters - Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy - whose father is away serving as a minister to the troops. Their mother, Marmee, must struggle to make ends meet with the help of their neighbor, Mr. Laurence, and his grandson, Laurie.

“Jo becomes best friends with Laurie, and Mr. Laurence helps out in the father’s absence,” explained McComas, who plays Jo. “The father falls ill, and the mother has to go away to care for him. While she is away, the one sister, Beth, falls ill with scarlet fever.” This is the first time that McComas, who is an accomplished actress and director, has taken a starring role since she founded the theater company five years ago. “I have had to step on the stage over the course of the last five years if someone got sick or we needed someone in the ensemble, but this is the first role that is mine - one that I can sink my teeth into,” she stated. “I love Jo’s

have relied on friends at odd hours of the days and night to assist me and run lines.” The show is being directed by Catherine Ogden. The crew includes Elizabeth Tozer, stage manager/costumes; assistant stage manager Chelsea Barnett; and tech director/set designer Rob Merow. In addition to McComas, the cast includes Emma Shellhamer, Emily Merow, Elizabeth Hennessey,

Elaine Schmidt, Katrya Oransky-Petyk, Lauren Flanagan, Ryan Cassidy, Kurt Kunsch, Andrew Maksymowych and Joe Wadlinger. In addition, McComas recently announced that SALT has launched three initiatives. First, Acting Antics, a theater company for individuals with special needs, will now be housed at the SALT Theater. Secondly, SALT is creating an

anti-bully assembly to bring to local elementary schools. Thirdly, SALT is planning to launch multiple locations of the SALT Performing Arts Playhouse, a preschool enrichment program.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just for car aficionados and car buffs.â&#x20AC;? A food truck will be on-site, and there will be a dunk tank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will hopefully dunk staff members from Hopewell, including the pastors,â&#x20AC;? Hepner noted. He added that people will be able to visit with the police officers, firefighters and other first responders who will be on hand at the event. All vehicle types are welcome, including cars, light trucks and motorcycles.

Hall Of Fame from pg 1 By Francine Fulton

After a lifetime of practicing the sport of karate and also serving as an instructor, Edward Max of Honey Brook was recently inducted into the USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame. Max was informed of the honor by the Hall of Fame committee. “I was in competition for so long and I had a national rating, so they knew of me,” he said. “They have regional banquets throughout the United States, and my banquet was in New York.” Although Max opted not to attend the banquet, he later received a Hall of Fame plaque, a certificate and a pin. Max started his career in martial arts in 1979 while a student at Twin Valley High School. “I had been in ROTC and I wanted to add on to that, so I was looking for a good karate instructor,” he recalled. “I did karate and jiu jitsu, and I started competing at tournaments.” He also took part in breaking competitions. “There is point fighting and full-contact fighting,” Max explained. “I did full-contact for a short time, but at the time I was boxing too, so it was too much. My lips and gums never had a chance to heal, so I did point fighting.” He noted that point karate also had its risks and that he often left the competition ring with an injured nose or lip. “In point karate you were not supposed to have full contact to the face, but everywhere else on the body was (open) to contact,” he explained. “But there are a lot of blind techniques. When you execute a move like a spinning back kick, you cannot see your opponent, so you are not really sure where you are hitting.” Max attended Dillman Karate Institute in Reading, which is now Dillman Karate International. Max’s instructor was George Dillman, who trained Muhammad Ali and Bruce Lee. Max’s jiu jitsu instructor was Wally Jay, who also trained Bruce Lee. “Dillman was a four-time

national champion,” Max said. “Bruce Lee did not participate in tournaments, but he came to the tournaments and did exhibitions. He and Dillman became really good friends. “Muhammad Ali would drop in our tournaments a lot,” he added, noting that Ali trained at Deer Lake, located near Reading. Max was a three-time Northeast champion, won one national championship and was nationally ranked by the Professional Karate League (PKL). “I have a thirddegree black belt right now; when I was competing, I was a first-degree black belt,” he noted. Max said his strength during bouts was kicking. “My bread and butter for scoring points was a lunging black flip,” he said. “I am right-handed, but I am left-footed. My right leg is my strongest leg, but my left leg is my most graceful leg, so I did kicking with my left leg. It threw the fighters off; they would have to change their stance.” During his career, Max appeared on TV shows and in magazines with Dillman. “What made George famous was his pressure point knockouts,” Max noted. “He could touch three nerves and put you out.” Dillman and Max did ice-breaking demonstrations on the 1980s television show “The George Michael Sports Machine,” where Dillman also demonstrated the pressure point knockout. They also appeared on “Real People” and “The Merv Griffin Show.” Max’s competition days ended in 1993 after a knee injury he sustained while doing karate. He then focused on karate instruction, which included teaching martial arts to members of the military. In addition to his devotion to martial arts, Max and his wife, Faye, are Civil War re-enactors.

The 42nd annual Hay Creek Festival, featuring historical reenactments, a display of antique machinery, traditional foods, a craft show and more, will be held on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 7, 8 and 9, at Historic Joanna Furnace Iron Works, 1250 Furnace Road, Geigertown. Main festival events will run all three days from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with a special Saturday musical program at 6 p.m. presented by popular local country singer Sam Schmidthuber. The three-day event, presented by the Hay Creek Valley Historical Association (HCVHA), will feature activities for people of all ages. “It’s a full-fledged family event where people can spend an entire day,” said Mark Zerr, HCVHA executive director. “(Visitors can) look at our craft demonstrations, tour the site, see our antique cars and tractors, sit down and watch entertainment and grab a bite to eat. We will have 175 interpreters in and around the historic site demonstrating and talking about period crafts and trades.” Zerr said that the festival visitors, especially children, enjoy being able to try out Early American crafts such as candle making and papermaking. “Over the years, we have become a family tradition,” he said. “We have kids that came years ago that are now bringing their own kids and grandkids. “ All types of food will be available during the event, ranging from bread baked in the outdoor bake ovens and homemade soups cooked over open fires to fairtype foods, including hot dogs,

hamburgers, french fries, pulled pork sandwiches and corn on the cob. For the first time, the festival will offer Caesar salads. On Sept. 8 and 9, visitors can enjoy the ironmaster’s breakfast buffet, which will be served in the mule stable building from 8 to 11 a.m. Trained interpreters will be stationed throughout the three days in the restored historic iron-making complex building, including the blacksmith shop, casting house, office/store and charcoal house museum. Youngsters will be able take part in the Joanna Furnace chore list. Upon arrival, children will receive a list of “chores” to accomplish, and interpreters will sign off on the sheet when the “chores” are complete. “Some chores are questions, and others are hands-on,” Zerr noted. “They can ask the postmaster the cost to mail a letter in 1845. They can also visit the laundress and help to wash clothing.” Those who complete the chore list will earn a free wagon ride. In the Creekside Crafts section, vendors will offer handmade crafts for sale, including pottery, jewelry, ceramics, woodcrafts, soaps and more. There will be an expanded Civil War encampment, including both Union and Confederate units. The full schedule of on-stage entertainment at the Hay Creek

The PPL Foundation would like to provide funding power for teachers to bring their ideas to life and spark students’ interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). The PPL Empowering Educators program is designed to help K-12 teachers provide hands-on learning opportunities to enhance the classroom experience. This year, PPL will award $25,000 in Empowering Educators grants. Twenty-five teachers will receive $1,000 for supplies to help make their projects a reality. Each team will be judged on its project proposal, its school need, and potential overall impact. Through these competitive grants, teachers can receive $1,000 in funding for educational projects such as science fairs, energy conservation projects, renewable energy demonstrations, math competitions, and more. Last year, some of the projects that received funding ranged from building solar-powered cars to developing a school makerspace, a collaborative work space where students can explore and share innovative ideas. The grants are open to K-12 teachers in school districts in the 29 Pennsylvania counties served by PPL. To be eligible for an Empowering Educators grant, teachers must submit a contest application online at www.pplempoweringeducators.c om. Applications will be accepted online through Sunday, Sept. 30.

Get Ready for Protecting Against Carbon Monoxide

The No-Reno Remedy For More Closet Space available areas. Clear out clutter - The first step to more closet space is to eliminate unused items. Clothing that no longer fits or items that can be stored elsewhere should be removed from the closet. Donate as much as possible. Some organizations will even pick up items at the donor’s convenience. Upgrade hangers and rods Replace existing hangers with slimmer, more uniform alternatives that more easily fit into the closet. In addition, remove empty hangers, which are likely just taking up space. Consider dual closet rods if space will allow them. Hang the second rod below an area reserved for shorter clothing to achieve a two-tiered design. Grouping short items together also can free up valuable floor space. Stack taller - Many closets are

Closet space is at a premium in many homes and apartments. Many older homes were not built to accommodate large wardrobes, while rental properties are often designed to maximize living space at the expense of storage. Closets vary depending on the size of the home, but many tend to be a minimum of 24 inches deep so they can store garments without the clothes brushing against the walls. Bedroom and hallway closets can be four feet in length or more. Walk-in closets are the largest options, but such spaces tend to only be available in modern homes or custom-built properties. It is not always practical or possible to renovate to create more closet space. Apart from moving to a new residence, homeowners or renters must evaluate the space they have and make some more efficient choices in how they utilize

The Fall Fix For A Healthy Lawn And Garden Autumn is gardening season. That statement may not seem right to those who think of the spring as the peak time to care for lawns and gardens. However, autumn is an ideal time to get into the garden and ensure that flowers, trees, and garden beds will over-winter successfully. A number of things make autumn a prime gardening season. The cooler days of fall enable gardeners to spend ample time outdoors without the threat of blazing heat. In addition, soil harbors a lot of residual warmth in autumn. Also, since leaves have not all fallen, fall is a prime time to assess what is already in the landscape, what needs pruning back, and where to address planting for next year. Gardening enthusiasts can focus their attention on these areas this fall: Pamper perennials. As annuals and perennials start to fall back, mark the spots where perennials are located so they can be easily identified later on. This way, when planning spots for spring bulbs or other spring layouts for the next year, perennials won’t be overlooked or covered over. Prune shrubs. Look at shrubs and trees and cut out dead or

diseased wood. Clean up borders. Weed and tidy borders and lawn edging. Install pavers or rock wall. Embrace the cooler temperatures to work on labor-intensive projects, such as putting in a garden bed, retaining wall, or walkway. Remove spent summer veg gies. Take out vegetable garden plants that have already bloomed and borne fruit. Tidy vegetable gardens and start to sow cooler-weather plants, such as onions, garlic, beans, and sweet peas. Rake and compost. Rake the leaves and gather grass clippings to add to the compost pile. Plant spring bulbs. Get tulips and other spring bulbs ready for planting so they will burst with color next year. Dig up herbs. Relocate herbs like parsley or basil to indoor

gardens. Otherwise, strip all leaves and freeze for storage during winter. Consider mums. Chrysanthemum plants are perennials. While they look beautiful in pots, if planted, maintained, and winterized, they can bloom every fall. Fertilize the lawn. Fertilizing in autumn helps ensure grass will stay healthy throughout the winter. Add mulch and compost to the garden. Replenish spent soil with mulch and compost so garden beds will be revitalized for spring planting. Prune hedges. Tidy hedges, as they will not grow much more this year. Clean and store equipment. Clean, sharpen, and oil all equipment, storing lawn and garden tools properly so they are ready for spring and do not lie out all winter.

or she is smelling carbon monoxide, that person is probably mistaking the odor for other combustion byproducts that the human nose can sense. Some people may not recognize that CO is affecting a home until multiple residents start complaining of similar symptoms. Common CO poisoning symptoms include nausea and vomiting, dizziness, chest pain, confusion, headache, and other flu-like symptoms. Those with repeated exposure to high levels of CO may eventually develop cerebral edema, which is a swelling of the brain. CO can compress brain cells and destroy them, leading to neurological issues and death. CO poisoning is actually the result of the head and heart not receiving sufficient oxygen. CO detectors can save lives and should be installed in all homes and apartments. The National Fire Protection Association says CO detectors “shall be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms.” Individuals should follow the manufacturer instructions regarding where on the wall or ceiling the CO detectors should be mounted. As an added safety precaution, CO detectors should be placed on every floor of the home. Gas sensors in CO alarms have limited life spans, so they should be replaced generally every five to six years, because calibrating and testing for CO is more difficult than simply replacing the alarms.

Dogs, cats, birds, and lizards, which once were wild animals and outdoor companions, have become beloved, largely domesticated members of the family. The number of pets in homes across the country continues to grow. According to Statista, as of March 2017, 94.2 million cats and 89.7 million dogs were estimated to live in the United States as pets. Over time, pet owners grow accustomed to their pets’ antics, messes, and even odors. Dealing with smells is par for the course for pet owners, and many become desensitized to certain common smells. But when company is on the way or people are thinking about selling their homes, pet odors must be addressed. Even though it will take effort, homeowners can refresh their homes and eliminate unpleasant petrelated smells. · Find ways to ventilate. Odors can build up inside closed environments and prove overpowering. Opening windows when applicable, using exhaust fans and encouraging cross-breezes can air certain See Pet Odor pg 11

Carbon monoxide, also known as CO, is a colorless, odorless gas that can be deadly. Because carbon monoxide is found in the fumes produced when fuel is burned, it is present in and around homes. As a result, homeowners should be aware of carbon monoxide and make every effort to detect its presence. CO is a byproduct of vehicle exhaust, boat engines, stoves, lanterns, grills, furnaces, and fireplaces. CO is produced anytime something is burning. That is why it is essential that products designed to be used outdoors are used exclusively outside and that indoor appliances are properly vented to the outdoors. CO forms most readily when there is insufficient oxygen to complete combustion and produce carbon dioxide. Hot water closets, furnaces in crawlspaces, heating appliances in attics, and other contained areas are common areas where CO can form. CO can build up indoors and poison the people and pets breathing it in. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, thousands of people visit emergency rooms and are hospitalized because of CO poisoning every year. While CO is a risk for just about anyone, infants, the elderly, those with breathing problems or chronic heart disease, and people with anemia are most likely to get sick from CO. CO has earned the moniker “the silent killer” because it cannot be identified without the presence of a carbon monoxide detector. If a person believes he

seasonal items that are not needed every day. Keep a step stool close by for easy accessibility. In small rooms, homeowners may want to find another way to utilize vertical space. A loft bed, which raises the bed up to a level where it might be on the top bunk of a bunk bed, will free up plenty of storage space beneath the bed. This can be turned into a floor closet. Create storage for small items Bookends, bins, boxes, and drawers can be used to contain items that do not easily conform to closets. These may be purses, scarves, ties, and more. Do not overlook the possibilities of hanging items on the wall inside the closet or on the back of closet doors. When finishing closet makeovers, be sure to install lighting inside the closet so items are more visible.

Basement Remodel Know-How

Gear Up Your Home for Winter Freezing temperatures may be good for ice skating or building snowmen, but sub-freezing temperatures can be dangerous for the average person and his or her home. Cold weather often leaves people scurrying to do whatever is necessary to safeguard themselves from the big chill. But it is important that homeowners also protect their homes in cold weather. There are a number of steps homeowners can take now to safeguard their homes before the cold weather returns. I n s p e c t P l u m b i n g . Plumbing and pipes may be vulnerable to cold weather. Frozen pipes may burst and cause substantial damage to a home, potentially causing flooding and structural damage. Homeowners should disconnect and drain garden hoses before winter arrives. Water to outdoor hose bibs should be turned off, though the valves on these outdoor faucets should be left open to drain. Also, outdoor faucets can

A basement remodeling project can add valuable and usable space to a home. For many years, homeowners overlooked the potential of a basement remodel, perhaps thinking it would not be a smart return on investment. But that is no longer the case. The latest “Cost vs. Value” report from Remodeling magazine says the average basement remodel can cost about $61,000 with a 70.3 percent recoup rate. In addition, HGTV says architects and contractors indicate that the cost of redoing a basement is roughly one-third to one-half less than the price of putting an addition on a home. Before remodeling a basement, homeowners should think about how they want to use the space. Homeowners also must focus on some potential obstacles in a basement that will need to be addressed so that the area can be as functional as possible. Basements can be chilly and damp. Therefore, moisture issues and heating and cooling needs must be addressed prior to any construction. Homeowners may have to consider the installation of a dehumidifier and run venting through the basement to allow for proper climate control. If a basement takes on water, either through the walls or a concrete slab, a professional waterproofing company can fix these issues so they will not damage drywall and flooring afterward. The presence of insects and pests also must be addressed. Exterminators can help homeowners figure out which insects are inhabiting their basements and how to make the space less

be covered with insulating foam covers. The Red Cross notes pipes that freeze most frequently include pipes in unheated areas, such as basements, attics, garages, and crawl spaces. Close vents to the outside in areas like attics and basements to limit the amount of cold air that gets indoors. Think about insulating unheated areas, as well as using pipe sleeves, heat tape or wraps on exposed pipes. By opening kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors, homeowners can allow warm air from a home to reach pipes under the sink. During extreme freezes, keep cold water dripping from a sink to prevent pipes from freezing. S e r v i c e H V A C s y s t e m s . It is important to ensure that heating systems are working properly prior to the cold-weather season. It may only take hours for the interior of a home to reach dangerously low temperatures without adequate heat. Homeowners should schedule annual checkups of furnaces and hot water heaters.

Inspect the heat exchanger for cracks, install a clean air filter, and make sure all thermostats are working properly. Have fuel ready. Homeowners who heat their homes with oil, wood, or coal should make sure they have plenty of fuel on hand in advance of winter. Shortages can occur, and it may take some time for new fuel to arrive in the midst of a cold snap. As a precaution, homeowners can rely on portable space heaters to fill in the heating gaps during freezing temperatures. Exercise extreme

caution with these devices, turning them off when leaving the room and remembering to avoid overloading outlets. P r o t e c t o u t s i d e . Drain birdbaths, clean out downspouts, and remove water from other items where water can freeze and cause damage. Inspect roofing prior to the snowy season, but stay off roofs during freezing weather. Homeowners should also remove snow shovels and other winter gear from storage and make sure the items are easily accessible during snowstorms.

door-style reach-in cabinets are convenient and flexible. In complete kitchen remodels or new constructions, walk-in pantries offer the most space and flexibility. Include must-have features. Pantries serve different functions in different homes. For the bulk shopper, a pantry with plenty of room for large packages of items will be needed. For pantries located outside of the kitchen, built-in freezers can

maximize storage possibilities, especially for those who freeze some items after bulk shopping ventures. Lighting can be beneficial in all pantries, improving visibility when trying to locate items. Another option could be including an outlet for charging hand-held vacuums or other small appliances. Counter space in the pantry enables homeowners to unload groceries directly onto pantry shelves.

Function & Features - Pantry Perfection! Many homeowners wish they had more storage space, and kitchens are one area where people seemingly can always use more storage. Despite a desire for more kitchen space, until recently, kitchen pantries had fallen out of favor. Builders and architects may have thought that close proximity to supermarkets as well as multiuse cabinets in kitchens would offset the need for pantries. But according to a recent survey from the National Association of Home Builders, a kitchen pantry is currently one of the most desirable kitchen features for buyers in the market for a new home. Homeowners are directing additional attention to kitchen preparation and storage features. In fact, one recent trend in kitchen renovations is custom-designed pantries. Homeowners considering adding a pantry should take the following tips into consideration: Locate the appropriate space. Ideally, pantries should be in or adjacent to the kitchen. But not

every home layout allows for this setup. Some homeowners need to move storage pantries into the garage, the basement, or a mud/laundry room. Various factors should be considered before placing a pantry outside a kitchen. What is the climate? Will food spoil? Is there a possibility that vermin or insects can infiltrate the room and access food? These factors will dictate whether to have closed cabinets, air-tight bins, or open shelves or if other modifications must be made to the room prior to building. Choose the type of pantry. Accessibility is essential in a pantry. Everything should be easy to reach without having to move too many things. Ideally, foods should be arranged in a single layer so that all items can be viewed at a glance. Shelves of various depths and heights can accommodate items of different sizes. Adjustable shelves are ideal because they can be modified as foods change. Sliding drawers can improve reach in cabinets. In smaller spaces, French

hospitable to these unwelcome guests. Space is often at a premium in basements, which may contain HVAC units, water heaters, filtration devices, ductwork, pipes, and the other appliances. Qualified contractors can suggest solutions for cordoning off appliances and camouflaging pipes and wires so they will not detract from the finished product. However, building access panels into the design will make it easier to service or repair features as necessary. Homeowners also may want to wrap pipes before drywall is installed to quiet noisy drainage issues. Uneven basement flooring will need to be smoothed out and flattened before carpeting or tile can be laid. A self-leveling underlayment can be applied to fill in gullies, while larger cracks and holes will need to be patched. Once the structure of the basement is addressed, the design work can begin. Many professionals advise against drop ceilings, which can take away from ceiling height and look cheap. Basements can be dark, so the addition of plenty of lighting can help brighten the room. Small basement windows can be replaced with larger ones to add more light as well. Homeowners can mimic built-ins and architectural details from elsewhere in the home so the basement is aesthetically cohesive and does not seem like an addition. Bookcases and shelving can add valuable storage space as well. Designers recommend decorating the basement with bright, neutral colors to make the space feel more inviting.

Get Ready for Wonderful Window Treatments rooms, dens, or dining rooms. Semi-sheer curtains may be paired with another complementary window treatment so privacy can be customized as needed. For example, sheer curtains let light into a bedroom, but shades can be drawn at night. Maximum privacy - Bedrooms, work spaces, and bathrooms can benefit from extra privacy. While some people may think that privacy comes at the cost of light, that is not always the case. Functional curtain panels can be drawn closed when privacy is desired and then opened to let in light. The thickness of the fabric will also dictate the amount of privacy the panels create. Tiers are hung on a short rod-pocket panel and usually cover the lower one-third of a window. They are popular choices to let light in from the top, while obscuring views from the bottom portion of the window. Cellular shades are another option that provide privacy but still let light

Winter weather can be harsh. Homeowners who spend much of the year tending to their lawns and gardens may worry that winter will undo all of their hard work. Though homeowners cannot do anything to prevent snow, wind, and ice from affecting their properties, they can take various steps to prepare their lawns and gardens for whatever winter has in store. · Mulch leaves. Falling leaves are a telltale sign that winter is coming. In lieu of raking leaves as they begin to fall, homeowners can mulch them into their lawns. Mulching leaves is a great way for homeowners to recycle a natural resource and enrich the soil of their lawns. While it might not be possible to mulch fallen leaves in late autumn when they begin to fall en masse, doing so in the early stages of fall should be possible so long as the lawn is not being suffocated. Experts recommend mulching the leaves to dime-size pieces to a point where half an inch of grass can be seen through the mulched leaf layer. · Rake leaves as they start to fall

more heavily. Once leaves begin to fall more heavily, rake them up and add them to compost piles. The resource GardeningKnowHow.com notes that composting leaves creates a dark, rich, and organic matter that can add nutrients to garden soil and loosen compacted earth. Allowing leaves to remain on the lawn once they start to fall in great numbers makes it hard for grass blades to breathe, and the leaves can block moisture from reaching the soil, which needs water to help plants maintain strong roots. In addition, potentially harmful pathogens can breed on damp leaves left on a lawn, and such bacteria can cause significant damage to the turf over time. · Apply a winterizing fertilizer. Winterizing fertilizers can help lawns store the food they need to survive through winter and also can help them bounce back strong in spring. Such fertilizers are typically formulated for coolseason grasses such as fescue and bluegrass and are often best applied after the final cut of fall. Warm-season grasses go dormant

in winter, so homeowners whose lawns contain these types of grasses will not want to apply a winterizing fertilizer. Homeowners who do not know which type of grass they have or are concerned about when to apply a winterizing fertilizer should consult with a lawn care professional before fertilizing. · Remove annuals from the garden. Annuals will not be coming back in spring, so it is best to remove ones that are no longer producing from the garden before the arrival of winter. Doing so can prevent the onset of fungal diseases that may adversely affect the garden in spring.

odors from the home. · C l e a n f r e q u e n t l y . Cats and dogs can leave behind fur, dander, food messes, and more. Eliminating the debris that pets create can reduce odors. Sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping floors can help as well. Don’t forget to vacuum draperies and furniture, and consider purchasing cleaning appliances specifically designed for homes with pets. · Keep up with accidents and l i t t e r b o x e s . Puppies and even adult dogs may have their share of accidents. Cats may avoid litter boxes that are not cleaned frequently and may then soil around the house. Be sure to clean up pet waste messes promptly. Baking soda and vinegar solutions are allnatural ways to clean up and can help remove urine odors more readily. Also, look for safe deodorizing cleaning products that can be used on carpeting, flooring, and upholstery. · Purchase an air purifier. Air purifiers can help remove odors and allergens from the air. They are relatively inexpensive and can be placed in rooms that pets frequent. · Wash pet blankets and beds. Launder pet beds, cloth toys, blankets, and any other items that pets lounge on. Sweat, saliva, and dander can cause these fabrics to become stinky, and, in turn, make the house smell worse. · Keep pets clean. Most pets are very good at self-grooming, but they can still benefit from a spa treatment once in a while. Dogs that spend ample time outdoors or frequently get wet and dirty may need routine baths. Ask a professional groomer what he or she recommends to address potent pet odors.

Plantation shutters? Miniblinds? Cafe curtains? Formal draperies? Homeowners’ options regarding window treatments for their homes are extensive, which can make outfitting home interiors challenging for novice decorators. Some people do not pay a lot of attention to window treatments, failing to realize just how great an impact the right window treatments can have on a space. Depending on design, window treatments may be an afterthought because residents may not consider them necessities. As a result, homeowners may install whatever is on hand or accept window treatments that came with a house or apartment. But ignoring window treatments, especially when they can fulfill certain needs, is a missed design opportunity. One of the first steps in choosing window treatments is determining the end goal. Is privacy the main goal? Are homeowners seeking more natural light in a room? Is there too much light and a need to darken the room? Window treatments can serve multiple functions, and some treatments may fit better depending on homeowners’ ultimate goals. Semi-sheer window treatments - Semi-sheer window treatments are often fabric and can help brighten rooms with natural light, but they offer little privacy. They are usually appropriate for spaces where people gather, such as living

in. Cellular shades come in hard and fabric varieties, and their use depends on the room. Many cellular shades are constructed with a honeycomb design, offers the design resource Houzz, so they can insulate as well as decorate windows. Blackout shades/shutters These shades do just what their name implies, making them perfect for rooms where babies nap or shift workers rest during daylight hours or for rooms that may not be dark enough at nighttime due to external light sources, such as street lamps. A dense fabric lining helps keep light out entirely. Shutters also can block out light but add to the character of the room. They can be painted a bright color to make a statement or match wall colors to blend in seamlessly. When selecting window treatments, shoppers can choose retail options or custom treatments. Many designers recommend custom window treatments because they are measured, manufactured, and installed specifically for homeowners’ windows. However, there are many DIY options available at budget-friendly retailers.
