President’s Message Lois Hartzell, HBAL President March 8th – 12:30 p.m. We were finishing up an Executive Committee meeting when Nadine added an additional item on the agenda. She stated she was ready to retire and wanted to give us her resignation. The look in her eyes was that of sorrow for leaving us but excitement for the future. She is ready to start the next chapter in her wonderful life.

1951-2011

I then announced Nadine’s retirement at our March 10 Board meeting. After the initial surprise and some dismay, there was happiness for her.

We all care about her, and we knew she was making the right choice for her.

The Executive Committee is in the process of finding her replacement. We placed an ad on the website, and plan to find the candidate that we feel will continue to make the Home Builders Association of Lincoln one of the “We are working for best in the nation. you so we all have

safer workplaces and an understanding of the rules now in effect. Education will help prevent injuries and fines.”

Our association is working hard to make sure our members are up-to-speed on federal regulations regarding OSHA and the EPA. We are working for you so we all have safer workplaces and an understanding of the rules now in effect.

Education will help prevent injuries and fines.

The 3rd Annual Chili Cook-off was another success. Cooks prepared the chili on Sunday afternoon and all day Monday.

Booths were decorated and secret ingredients were constantly taken out of special containers and added to the chili. We had one injury (which is one too many) but Adam continued cooking with a badly burned hand. For those who didn’t attend, make sure to put it on your calendar for next year, and for those who worked on the committee, cooked, served, donated beer and water and stayed to clean up “THANK YOU.” Following the Chili Cook-off, Dan Walker took the remaining 3 ½ gallons of chili and four dozen cinnamon rolls to the Lincoln City Mission. Thanks, Dan. I’m sure the people staying at the Mission were happy to see those cinnamon rolls on Tuesday morning.

I hope everyone takes time to go to the Remodelers Council’s 22nd annual Tour of Remodeled Homes which will be held April 9 & 10. Once again, there are some great entries. Thanks to the participants for making this a fabulous event for the public.

Fall Protection Training Seminar

Home Builders Association of Lincoln Builders and Trade Contractors: Are you at risk of falling on the jobsite? …Then You Shouldn’t Miss the new Fall Protection Training Seminar The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), in conjunction with the NAHB Research Center, has developed a 4 –hour seminar for builders, trade contractors, supervisors and workers. This training program focuses on identifying fall hazards in residential construction, as well as, providing student attendees an understanding of the OSHA fall protection regulations and safe work practices to prevent fall-related injuries and deaths. Special emphasis will be placed on the recent change to OSHA’s Interim Fall Protection Compliance Guidelines for Residential Construction, including how to develop a written fall protection plan, how to protect stairways, leading edges, window/wall openings and floor holes, how to use a Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS), how to safely construct rafters and install roof trusses and sheeting, and other safe work practices when working at heights.

The content for the 4 –hour seminar is based on the English/Spanish NAHB-OSHA Fall Protection Handbook and Fall Protection Video, which are straightforward guides for builders, remodelers, and trade contractors that have been designed to show you how to eliminate the most common fall hazards found on home building jobsites and what you need to do to comply with OSHA fall protection regulations.

The seminar will teach you how to:

  

Recognize the most common fall hazards on residential jobsites Use safe work practices to reduce the risk of injuries Comply with OSHA fall protection regulations that apply to the home building industry

Each participant will receive (a $125 value):

What is the HUB? The HUB was created by the Transitional Service Network (TSN) in 2003. The TSN was a committee of representatives from 25 youth serving organization who identified a gap in service for young adults ages 16-24 who are experiencing barriers that have hindered their progress toward becoming productive adults. The TSN conducted focus groups and wrote grants to make the HUB a reality. The HUB began serving young people in October 2004. Lincoln Action Program provided leadership and management until the HUB received its 501(c)(3) non-profit designation in April 2007.

HBAL Mailbox Dear HBAL,

Dear Home Builders,

Thank you so much for inviting clowns from Calliope Clown Alley #40 back to the 2011 Home & Garden Show. We had a wonderful, fun, colorful, delightful and great time!!

Thank you for once again sponsoring the “If I Could Build a House” contest. My 5th grade students at Pyrtle always enjoy learning about the home building industry, architecture and creating their houses.

All of the clowns enjoyed our two days and we hope you were happy with our presentations. We hope to be invited back next year. Thank you again.

Jan Hardesty, Secretary Calliope Clown Alley #40 • • • • • Dear HBAL, On behalf of Voices of Hope and the people we serve, thank you so much. Your donation of toys for our clients’ children is greatly appreciated.

This contribution helped us meet our clients’ Christmas wishes. Thank you again for your generosity and kindness at this special time of year. You continue to help us make a difference.

This year one of the students (her parent is a builder and participates in the Parade of Homes) brought plans and the Parade book to share, so that was a great connection!

I cannot thank you enough for the financial support. Art supplies are very expensive and your generosity is a great addition to my art budget. We’re very fortunate to have HBAL as a great friend of Lincoln Public Schools.

Rosalie Claussen Pyrtle Art Teacher • • • • • Dear Home Builders Association of Lincoln, I would like to personally thank you for the generous scholarship opportunities you give to the Southeast Community College Student Chapter. I have personally received two scholarships, and I know that the money really helps with the education that I came to Milford to get. I would also like to thank you for all of the other opportunities you have given to the Chapter over the past year and a half. With your help, I was able to attend the IBS show in Orlando. Getting first in the Outstanding Student Chapter competition and being honored as an Outstanding Student will be moments that I will remember for years to come.

I have also enjoyed the many dinners and activities when you have included the Student Chapter. I know I speak for the rest of the Chapter when I say that our Student Chapter wouldn’t be the same without your support. I am currently in my 6th quarter and in the process of searching for a job.

I have been very involved in the student chapter, serving in both the president and secretary positions during the past year, and I have enjoyed every minute of it. I will enjoy visiting with many of you at our semi-annual dinner. Again, thank you. Not only for what you have done for me, but for your support of the Milford Student Chapter.

Sincerely, Michael DeJonge 6th Quarter Building Construction SCC-NAHB Student Chapter

Financial Column

The Joys and Financial Challenges of Parenthood Provided by John Oestreich, Waddell & Reed Children are special. There’s nothing like them. They can be our sweetest blessing, as well as our biggest frustration. Most of all, however, they are our greatest responsibility, as well as our most important--and expensive--commitment.

Whether you are a first-time parent or a veteran of refereeing sibling squabbles and who-put-the-empty-milk-carton-back-in-the-fridge inquisitions, parenthood can be both wonderfully rewarding and frighteningly challenging. Our children give us gifts only a parent can understand--from sticky-finger hugs to “Can I come?” pleas to tag along on Saturday morning errands. We raise them with a clear goal that we secretly dread will actually take place--that someday they will be grown, independent, ready to move out into the world on their own, and our work will be over. As our children travel this long and never-dull road from infancy to adulthood, we nurture them, worry about them, scold them, love them.

Start building a college fund now

College costs may seem daunting (and they are expected to continue increasing), but you have about 18 years before your newborn will be a college freshman. By starting today, you can help your children become debt-free college grads. The secret is to save a little each month, take advantage of compound interest, and have a sum waiting for you when your child is ready for college.

The following chart shows how much money might be available for college when your child turns 18, if you save a certain amount each month.

Child’s Age Now $100/month $200/month $300/month $400/month

Newborn $38,735 $77,471 $116,208 $154,941 4 $26,231 $52,462 $78,693 $104,924 $16,388 $32,776 $49,164 $65,552 8 10 $12,283 $24,566 $36,849 $49,132 Most of all, we try to protect them.

FINRA and SIPC. The bottom line: Children are expensive! Between raising them and educating them and making sure they get a good, strong start in life, one thing is obvious when it comes to children--they are a major responsibility. Fortunately, as long as we remain alive and healthy, we manage to somehow meet these expenses. It’s part of what parenthood is all about.

Have you taken steps to protect them?

But here’s a question you need to consider: What would happen to them if something happened to you? No, it’s not the kind of question we like to dwell on. But these matters are important. This is why many financial professionals recommend that, above and beyond the day-to-day efforts to provide for their children, parents should take specific steps to help protect their financial well-being.

Review your life insurance coverage

Life insurance is one of the most effective ways to protect your family from the uncertainty of premature death. Life insurance can help assure that a preselected amount of money will be on hand to replace your income and help your family members--your children and your spouse--maintain their standard of living. With life insurance, you can select an amount that will help your family meet living expenses, pay the mortgage, and even provide a college fund for your children. Best of all, life insurance proceeds are generally not taxable as income.

Purchase disability income insurance

If you become disabled and unable to work, disability income insurance can pay benefits--a specific percentage of your income--so you can continue meeting your financial obligations until you are back on your feet. What about Social Security? If you do become permanently and totally disabled and are unable to do work of any kind, you may be eligible for benefits, but qualifying isn’t easy. For more flexible and comprehensive protection, consider buying disability income insurance.

Chairperson’s Message

by Jenny Samek

It’s tax return season! Now is a great time to get your name out and be ready to find those customers who are ready to remodel using this year’s tax return.

Thanks to those who attended our March meeting with a presentation by Brian Hoefer of the Lincoln Police Department.

He gave some very helpful hints on preventing theft on job sites. He mentioned always keeping a record of serial numbers on any equipment you purchase. In case of theft this will help them retrieve stolen property. He also mentioned a great web site www.crimemapping.com. You can check the crime rates in a neighborhood you will be working in.

At the March meeting we also had a visit from Chuck Zimmerman from the Building and Safety Department. He gave us some updates to the changes in permit rates. Please make sure to keep informed on current fees and schedules.

Antelope Creek Basin Plan

Antelope Creek Basin Plan The City of Lincoln (City) and Lower Platte South Natural Resources District (LPSNRD) are working with a project team of scientists and engineers to establish the Antelope Creek Watershed Basin Management Plan (Basin Plan) for the watershed area shown. The cost of the study is $500,000 and being split between the project sponsors. The City has hired a team that includes EA Engineering, Science, and Technology (EA) located in Lincoln, JEO Consulting Group (JEO) in Lincoln, Wright Water Engineers (WWE) of Denver, and a nationally recognized water quality expert, Dr. Robert Pitt from the University of Wisconsin, to establish the Basin Plan.

The Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality (NDEQ) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has prepared a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for stream segments in Nebraska. TMDLs provide goals to improve water quality by removing impairments which may limit the everyday uses of the Creek. This segment of Antelope Creek contains elevated levels of E. coli bacteria, ammonia, and other contaminants through an area that is 100% urbanized. The two main goals of the Basin Plan is to determine the cause of the E. coli and ammonia problems and determine what can be done to reduce levels of each contaminant.

Development of the Basin Plan is being overseen by an Advisory Council whose roles and responsibilities includes reviewing elements of the plan, ask questions, raise issues, and share information with one another, the public, and the project team. The Advisory Council is listed in the table below.

A Basin Plan will identify problem areas and list recommendations for a number of structural and nonstructural Best Management Practices (BMPs) designed to

reduce pollutants in specific areas of the Basin. The plan will serve as a tool to both the City and LPSNRD to identify and manage stormwater quality issues as re-development takes place within the Basin.

The Basin Plan is to be completed September 2011. For more information contact Ed Kouma, P.E., City of Lincoln Public Works/Utilities Department, 402-441-7018 or ekouma@lincoln.ne.gov. Project information is also available on the City’s website lincoln.ne.gov (keyword: watershed) as a featured site.

Safety on the Jobsite with a Bit of Humor

Safety on the Jobsite with a Bit of Humor Funny safety slogans are a fantastic way to bring a little humor into the work place. Although safety is never a laughing matter, bringing humor to it can make it less strenuous. Humor gets the point across but let’s everyone still enjoy themselves. Here is a list of a bunch of really funny safety slogans. Put them up in the office, in the break room, or in any highly trafficked place.

• It’s easier to ask a dumb question than it is to fix a dumb mistake • Safety…Did it, done it, doing it tomorrow • Those who work the safest way- live to see another day • Your wife will spend your 401K, if you get killed at work today • Watch your step - it could be your last tomorrow • Your reward for working safely today.

• Protect your hands, you need them to pick up your pay check • Those precious fingers don’t ignore. . . Or they could end up on the floor • Get in high speed pursuit of safety • A spill, a slip, a hospital trip • Safety - A small investment for a rich future • Safety is a cheap and effective insurance policy • Falling objects can be brutal if you don’t protect your noodle • Let’s all keep our heads, and other body parts, together • When you gamble with safety you bet your life • Seat Belts are for kids - Hug them at home - Belt them in the car • Quench the thirst – safety first • Safety is no accident • Safe crane operation is uplifting • Safety — a small investment for a rich future • Safety doesn’t happen by accident • Safety glasses: All in favor say “Eye!” • Safety isn’t a hobby, it’s a living.

• The stupid shall be punished • While on a ladder, never step back to admire your work • Work safe today–heaven can wait.

• Safety is as simple as ABC…Always Be Careful • Knock out…accidents • Keep safety in mind. It will save your behind.

• One bad day at the grinder could ruin your whole life • Hard hats, they’re not just for decoration • If you don’t think it will happen to you, find the person who had it happen to them • Shortcuts cut life short • If you mess up, ‘fess up • Is better to lose one minute in life… than to lose life in a minute.

• Pencils have erasers–mishaps don’t!

• Safety is a mission not an intermission • Chance takers are accident makers • Safety is a full time job; don’t make it a part time practice • The door to Safety swings on the hinges of common sense • Unsafe acts will keep you in stitches • Safety isn’t expensive it’s priceless.

• Your first mistake could be your last

ENERGY STAR homes are a win, win, win proposition. ®

Homebuyers win because ENERGY STAR homes are more efficient, more comfortable and the lower costs of ownership allow them to put more money into their homes. Builders win because ENERGY STAR homes are more profitable to build. And the more we conserve, the more we all win. To learn more, contact Bob Ruskamp at 473-3275 or bruskamp@les.com.
