Winter warm-up

won’t drain tons of time in the process. Here are five ways to warm up your home decor during the winter.

Consider opting for a new sofa slipcover, bed linens, rugs or even shower curtains. Shannon Acheson typically adds in a blue throw for her son’s room and purple and pink variations for her daughters. Whether in cable knit, cashmere or velvet, layers of the snug coverings along with pillows help add texture and colour, she notes. “That’s going to be cosy and ... just perk it up a bit between holiday and spring,” says Acheson who partners

2. Lights. Illuminating interiors can be a beautiful thing. Whether selecting a removable shade for an existing base or a stand-alone lamp with a unique structural design, the right lights can lend a touch of elegance to a room or help round out an existing space. Use the existing colours in the room as a guide for which — and how many — brightly hued lamps to bring into the interior. If it’s fairly plain and absent of a lot of colour, consider teaming lamps in two complementary hues, like lilac and green. 3. Plants. Individuals yearning to flex their green thumbs still have some time to wait before they can start digging into the soil outside. But gardening enthusiasts and neophytes alike can get their fix by bringing in an assortment of fresh plants. “It will add life to the home,” says Zoffranieri. Zoffranieri says if there is

a “hot list” for plants, the fiddle-leaf fig plant would rank among them. The lush, largeleafed, slow-growing plant can stretch to be six feet tall, she notes. “It grows towards the light. If you want to make sure it keeps growing straight up, you have to make sure you rotate it. Otherwise, it’s almost like a vine, it will keep growing and kind of snaking around,” she says. “It’s beautiful. It’s a really nice plant.” 4. Do-it-yourself. Even those who aren’t the most

Colourful pillows can add contrast to a sofa or bed during the dark winter days.

DIY-inclined can try their hand at a simple craft project. On her blog, akadesign. ca, Acheson outlines one task she says is easy enough to do with her kids: customizing porcelain pieces. Use a permanent marker to scrawl a word, quote or saying (or to craft a design) on a bowl, plate or mug. Place the item on a cookie sheet in the oven for 30 minutes at 350 F. 5. Printables. Your empty frame can be transformed into a work of art with a few clicks of the mouse. Acheson says printables are easy to access online. Many craft-focused blogs and sites like Pinterest offer downloads of colourful prints that are print-ready to slip into various sizes of frames. “A lot of bloggers and a lot of decorating places have seasonal things you can print out. But when the holidays are done, you can swap it out for quotes or just other principles, just to change it for the season,” says Acheson. “You just do a little search and find what suits your style.”

Playing field must be level for legitimate builders Alan thomarat

CEO and President Canadian Home Builders’ Association — Saskatchewan The Canadian Home Builders’ Association — Saskatchewan and the regional associations and councils in the province remain focused and vigilant on key priority issues that directly affect business and consumers and specifically the residential construction industry in all communities in the province. Some of these key issues include: 1. Housing tax reforms and updating GST thresholds 2. Tackling the underground cash economy; protect consumers Remember when the GST was introduced? Well, I guess most of us do. The GST replaced what was known as the MST (Manufacturers’ Sales Tax), which was a hidden cost. The MST essentially only applied to the manufactured goods portion of a transaction and where housing

was concerned it certainly didn’t apply to land and labour. The GST New Housing Rebate, introduced in 1991, provides tax rebates on new homes based on price levels. A buyer of a $350,000 home pays 3.2 per cent GST, saving 36 per cent or $6,300. The rebate is phased out over that price and there is no rebate for new homes priced above $450,000. These are the same thresholds that have existed since 1991, despite significant increases in the cost of new homes. When the program was introduced, the federal government made a commitment to adjust the thresholds at least every two years, to ensure they were sensitive to changes in housing prices so as not to dampen demand through a consumption tax. However, the thresholds have not been adjusted a single time over the course of the 22 years that the program has existed. In 1991, 100 per cent of new homebuyers in Regina and 99.6 per cent of new homebuyers in Saskatoon qualified for the full rebate. By 2008, the numbers had been significantly reduced, with only 58.1 per cent and 49.5 per cent, respectively, qualifying for the full rebate.

Remember we were told that the GST would be revenue neutral; mind you we were also told by the next guy that he would “axe the tax.” GST was never revenue neutral and it didn’t get axed, but we do applaud this federal government for reducing the rate from seven per cent to five per cent. It’s long past the time, though, that the thresholds for GST rebates should be indexed to reflect the current housing situation. The increase in the Statistics Canada New House Price Index between 1991 and 2011 was almost 60 per cent. We recommend that the thresholds be adjusted to reflect this increase in housing prices. Adding to all that if we index the threshold, let’s say tied to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) we will not be having this debate 22 years from now. If it’s the thought that there’s a revenue reduction here, let me counter that position; we must not forget to factor in the new buyers who now qualify for mortgages given improved affordability and reduced costs. So let’s make smart policies now. So how about if all contractors and all consumers pay the same tax? How about if some of them

just start paying the tax, take out permits and put customers first? Underground cash operators are becoming a serious burden on Saskatchewan’s economy and the residential housing industry. An increasing number are circumventing the taxpaying process by encouraging and accepting illegal under-the-table cash payments for their services. Governments have lost annual revenues estimated to be in the billions of dollars due to the underground cash economy in residential construction. In Saskatchewan, with an industry approaching contributions to the GDP of $5 billion and based on the activity in the marketplace it is estimated that the value of transactions not complying with CRA requirements could exceed $500 million. The introduction of GST resulted in the rapid growth of underground cash transactions in home renovations. The current GST applies to the full cost of a renovation. Therefore, GST taxes the same project at five per cent — twice the previous amount and now applies to services that weren’t taxed before. The government through the Canada Revenue Agency has failed

to level the playing field for legitimate contractors who lawfully file their tax returns, submit payroll taxes for employees and generally contribute to the quality of communities and the economy. The Home Renovation Tax Credit first introduced as part of the Economic Action Plan, should be reinstated and permanently implemented to actively encourage homeowners to hire legitimate, professional contractors and in this way not cause distortions in the marketplace. Keeping a watchful eye on the policy environment and understanding the need for timely reviews is even more critical in robust growing economies. Out-of-date policies are often out-of-step deterrents and clearly don’t advance an agenda for a growing province like Saskatchewan or future building in Canada for that matter. Alan Thomarat is the president and CEO of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association — Saskatchewan and the Saskatoon & Region Home Builders Association. He also serves as a director on the national board of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association in Ottawa.

Pay attention to snow on roof MIKE HOLMES Make it Right

Canadian weather can seem a bit unpredictable. One minute it’s sunshine and warm weather. Next thing you know we’re hit with a snowstorm. Don’t let the occasional springlike day fool you — we’re still in the middle of winter. And when you consider that insurance claims for damages related to winter storms can run into the thousands, knowing how to deal with ice and snow around your house is just smart. One of the first things I tell homeowners is to keep snow away from foundation walls. The moisture from snow melting can slowly seep in. Remember, concrete is porous. So when you shovel your driveway, walkways and sidewalks remember to shovel snow away from the perimeter of your home. And make sure fire hydrants, gas metres and dryer vents aren’t covered by snow either. Enough snow on the wrong roof can potentially cause it to collapse. The funny thing is that you want your roof to have snow. If the snow doesn’t melt, your attic insulation is doing its job. But if there’s enough snow and ice there’s the risk of the roof collapsing. Flat roofs are especially vulnerable. Some municipalities even ask homeowners to remove snow from flat rooftops, overhangs and gutters — especially if the area has been hit with snow and ice storms. Some homeowners will use roof snow shovels to remove the snow. These are shovels designed to help you remove snow on your roof from the ground so you’re not climbing up on the roof and risking a fall. But shovelling your roof from the ground also has its risks: One, you could damage your shingles. And two, the snow you shovel off the roof could come down on top of you. If you need to remove snow or an ice dam from your roof call a professional contractor who regularly deals with these kinds of problems.

no-brainer. Snow and ice are slipping hazards. But shovelling might not be enough. If the temperature drops below freezing or you know a storm is headed your way, apply a de-icer on your driveway, walkway and sidewalk. Spread as much as your property’s size requires. After the storm, apply more along with some sand to add traction.

De-icers The most common de-icer is sodium chloride — what many people call road or rock salt. It’s the most inexpensive. But there’s also calcium chloride, urea, potassium chloride and magnesium chloride. Calcium chloride and magnesium chloride melt ice faster than salt, but they cost more. And calcium chloride is corrosive; it destroys grassroots. Urea and potassium chloride can be found in fertilizer, so they’re safe for your lawn. The problem is that urea can be corrosive, and potassium chloride damages concrete. I’m not a big fan of salt. One, it destroys your grass. Have you ever seen brown patches of grass at the end of driveways? It’s because melt-

ed snow with salt got into the soil. Two, it can make your pet sick. When I take my dog Charlie out for a walk sometimes he gets salt on his paws. Then when he’s back inside he starts licking them. The next day he’s throwing up. The third reason is that salt works best only when the ground temperature is above -9 C (or 15 F). If you know anything about a Canadian winter you’ll know that temperatures can drop a lot lower than -9 C. Plus, salt is sensitive to temperature changes. The colder the ground temperature, the less effective it is. And four, salt eats away at brick mortar. I’ve seen brick homes where every year the salt eats away more at the mortar, the voids climbing up from the ground with every passing winter. I’d rather use sand or gravel because they’re safer natural alternatives. But no matter what de-icer you decide to go with, read the package and follow instructions.

Although snow on the roof of your home can indicate how well your attic insulation is working, too much snow can cause your roof to collapse.

Responsibilities Most people worry about injuries happening on their property — and they should. You’re responsible for taking the proper precautions, because if someone gets hurt as a result of your negligence you’re in trouble. That includes injuries caused by falling icicles, slips and falls. There’s even an insurance category called “slip and fall” cases — that’s how common they are. And if you think you’re off the hook because you’re a renter, guess what — you’re not. In some Canadian jurisdictions, there’s legislation that includes “duty of care.” What that means is that the occupier of a home — it doesn’t matter if they’re just renting — needs to make sure the property is safe for anyone who has to enter it, such as the mailman or utility service reps. If you think about the risks, taking care of ice and snow is a

Energy efficiency

The de Waals say the home’s best features are unseen.

The fireplace in the great room uses electronic ignition to save energy.

Postmedia News photos

The de Waals recycled an old home in an established Edmonton neighbourhood and rebuilt it to high EnerGuide standards.

Couple’s first home treads lightly on planet Scott McKeen For Postmedia News In the de Waal home, utility is design. Function is decor. Not that the Edmonton couple’s home is absent of whimsy or beauty. The main-floor great room is a great room. Its heart, the kitchen, is lovely. The natural-wood dining room table is gorgeous. The wood flooring is rich with colour and grain. The fireplace brings shimmer and warmth. The house, all in all, is spacious yet cosy. It feels vitamin-enriched in here. The air is clean and fresh. Lots of natural light. On this, a red-cheeksand-chilblains January afternoon, the great room is warm, bright and evokes vi-

sions of cocooning and slow cooking. Sharan de Waal and her husband Koen — rhymes with tune — are just starting out. This is their first home. They’re both just 30, new to marriage and careers. Sharan was bor n and raised in Edmonton. She likes to say she imported Koen from The Netherlands, where he grew up. Koen is a trained civil engineer. He works for Edmonton in its transportation department. Sharan is an occupational therapist, working with children diagnosed with mental health disorders. A couple years back they were living in a 500-squarefoot condo and looking for a house. They wanted to live near downtown. They needed some space, because

Koen’s Dutch relatives like to visit. They were on a budget. They also wanted their home to be gentle on the planet. Koen-the-engineer is nuts about the green stuff. He is clearly proud of the furnace room, with its huffing ducts and spiralling copper designed to recycle waste heat. In their search they found a tiny home in a centralwest neighbourhood, long past its best-before date. They bought immediately, then advertised a free salvage event on Kijiji. People showed up to gratefully remove windows, doors, fixtures and siding. T h e re cycl i n g o f t h e home felt right. Less material went to landfill and the spirit of the old house was transplanted to DIY projects around the region.

The couple then modified a house plan from Euro Design Inc. to fit their narrowbut-long lot. They acted as general contractors and turned for help to Sharan’s dad, now retired, who was a baker and part-time home builder — yes, you read that right — back in the day. T he 2,100-square-foot home’s concrete foundation is surrounded on all sides by Styrofoam insulation. The spray foam in the walls is double that required by code. The attic insulation is off the charts. The faucets are low flow. The windows are triple glazed. The lighting is LED. Waste heat, as mentioned, is used to warm fresh air and water entering the home. On average, their heating and electricity bills are each $63 every month.

The home earned an EnerGuide rating of 86, good enough for a $10,000 government rebate. The upstairs contains three bedrooms, including the master; two full bathrooms, including the ensuite; as well as a laundry room. T here’s lots of room for family, including the couple’s first baby, due this spring. Downstairs features two more bedrooms, a TV room and comfy carpet. Esthetes will lament the absence of design, colour and accoutrement. Sharan says this is all intentional — their focus was on function rather than overt style. Thus, the first room encountered upon entering the home — the front room, if you will — is actually an office.

Koen’s plans are to become more of a home builder and less of a hired-gun engineer in coming years. Now, back to the great room. The counters, including those on the spacious island, are quartz and completely impervious. Those gorgeous floors are engineered hardwood, recycled from old wood furniture. The fireplace eschews the traditional always-on pilot light for electronic ignition. As Koen says, some of the home’s most beautiful features are unseen — behind walls, engineered into the infrastructure, or tucked into that furnace room of his. “We spent money on what you can’t see,” says Sharan, smiling. “We get excited when we see our bills. It makes you feel good.”

Micro units

Apartment-dwellers go small in the Big Apple Ula Ilnytzky THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Sam Neuman jokes that he doesn’t casually throw off his coat when he gets home at night — it would take up half his apartment. Such is life in his walk-up studio a few blocks from Manhattan’s bustling Times Square, which at 280 square feet is barely the size of a one-car garage, with just enough space for a bed, a desk, a TV stand on one wall and a kitchen against the other. “I’ve developed this weird Stockholm Syndrome, (in) which you identify with your captors,” said the 31-year-old publicist. “When I go to other people’s apartments, I think, ‘Why do they need more than one bedroom?’ I’m really very happy here. There’s not really time to let things accumulate because ... where would I put them?” The Big Apple is legendary for its legions of residents who live in really, really small apartments. Many of them are fiercely proud of it and can even find the humour in their cramped quarters. Now the city is about to see just how small New Yorkers are willing to go. With the population and rents expected to keep climbing, New York City planners are challenging architects to design ways to make it tolerable — even comfortable — to live in dwellings from 350 square feet to as small as 250 square feet. The city wants to incorporate those designs into an apartment complex to be built on Manhattan’s east side next year featuring mostly “micro units.” The aim is to offer more of such tiny apartments throughout the city as affordable options for the young singles, cashpoor and empty nesters who are increasingly edged out of the nation’s most expensive real-estate market. If the pilot program is successful, New York could ultimately overturn a requirement established in 1987 that all new apartments be at least 400 square feet. Smaller living is a concept already endorsed by some cities. San Francisco recently approved construction of apartments as small as 220 square feet. And Tokyo and Hong Kong have long offered tiny units. As a way to get New Yorkers to think small, the Museum of the City of New York is opening an exhibit Wednesday featuring a fully furnished 325-square-foot studio apartment that incorporates the latest space-saving designs. There’s the bed that folds out over a couch, a padded ottoman containing four nesting chairs, a fold-out dinette ta-

ble tucked neatly under the kitchen counter and a TV that slides away to reveal a bar. Neuman was amazed at how much more spacious and airy the demonstration apartment felt than his own flat. “If they hooked up the cable and plumbing, I’d move in tomorrow,” Neuman said during a walk-through of the exhibit with a reporter. “You could actually have a cocktail party in there without it feeling like the subway at rush hour.” Other amenities in the 12-foot-by24-foot model include a cute bathroom that is five feet nine inches by seven feet nine inches, a refrigerator and separate freezer tucked under the counter, and the holy grail of New York apartments — a dishwasher. The Murphy bed, like most of the features, glides out with only a light touch of the hand. “It’s almost like a space shuttle or an ocean liner in how it’s designed,” said Donald Albrecht, the co-curator of the exhibition. On Manhattan’s west side, it doesn’t take long for 67-yearold school finance director Jack

Sproule to give a tour of the studio apartment he owns with his wife. At 290 square feet, there’s just enough room for the bed that folds into the wall, a kitchenette and an adequately appointed bathroom, which Out-of-town Classified Advertisers call toll-free 1-800-667-9999

Sproule jokes is the only place to escape when there’s an argument. But the signature feature is the picture window at the far end of the unit. “Look at that view,” Linda

Sproule said, pointing to the sprawling expanse of Central Park, with the reservoir, the great lawn and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the distance. The let’s-get-small initiative taps into that trade off — an ultra tiny apartment for the opportunity to live in one of the world’s great cities. It grew out of a confluence of sobering statistics. New York City, which already has 8.2 million people, is projected to grow by about 600,000 people by 2030. A third of the city’s households consist of just one person, a percentage that climbs to 46 per cent on the island of Manhattan. Residents face average market-value rents of $2,000 a month for a studio apartment and $2,700 a month for a one-bedroom. Newly constructed tiny apartments, depending on location, are expected to go for the price of a current studio but would have the added state-of-the-art amenities.

Restyle front hall raceway with new rug Samantha Pynn For Postmedia News Q: The rug in our front hall is getting destroyed. It always looks messy ’cause every time our dogs run down the hallway, the rug gets crumpled into a ball. Between my husband’s giant shoe prints, our kids muddy boots and the dogs, I’m ready to throw the rug out the front door. Can I leave the floors bare? Will they get damaged when it really starts to snow?

Modular carpet tiles are versatile alternatives to rugs in the hallway, allowing you to mix and match patterns, colours and textures.

Q: How can I get black scuff marks off painted ceramic without taking the paint off ? Also, I have a large area of melted red wax crayon in the back seat of my car. It is not possible to scrape any of it off as it has soaked into the fabric. A: To remove scuff marks on ceramic pieces, rub with an art eraser and wipe with a damp cloth. To remove wax on upholstery, heat the wax using a hair dryer and gently scrape as much of the wax as possible. Spray WD-40 onto the area, leave for 10 minutes and wipe. Scrub the area with Head and Shoulders Dandruff Shampoo and water. Rinse with water and let air dry (test all products on an inconspicuous area first).

Reena Nerbas For Postmedia News Q: I was a guest at a ladies workshop that you spoke at last month. You were demonstrating how to make your own microwave popcorn. Can you please tell me the quantities again? A: Just like store-bought popcorn, not every kernel will pop but this method is cheap, easy and best of all tasty. Into a brown paper bag, mix half cup un-popped popcorn and one tablespoon vegetable oil. Add a sprinkle of salt. Fold over two or three times to seal. Microwave for 2 1/2 to three minutes or until pops slowdown. Carefully open bag and eat. Butter may be added as desired. Extra Popcorn Treat: In a stainless steel pot, combine 3/4 cups cornstarch, 1/4 cup butter or margarine, two teaspoons water, 1/2 cup icing sugar and one cup marshmallows. Stir and heat until marshmallows melt. Pour contents over 20 cups popped popcorn and form into popcorn balls. Cover with plastic wrap and leave at room temperature. Extra Tip: Grease or wet hands before forming balls to reduce stickiness.

ways. Modern Mix in brown (as seen in the photo) will hide paw and boot prints in between vacuumings. And, when a tile gets really dirty, you can clean it in the dishwasher, or in more serious cases replace it. Plus, the ecoconscious company has a returnand-recycle policy so your carpet won’t end up in a landfill site. You can leave the floor bare, but be prepared to have a rag nearby so that you can wipe up melted snow, salt, sleet or even just dirty rainwater, given the weather this season. Keep in mind that glossy tile and shiny wood floors can get slippery. One of my guests once slipped and fell flat on her back when I had temporarily removed the grungy front door mat. Thankfully, she was fine, but she could have really hurt herself, which is (and was) terrifyingly worse than the messy look of a wrinkled rug.

Popping popcorn to perfection

A: The messy front door rug is a pretty common issue. My girlfriend recently sent me a frustrated email that read: “What can I do to fix my damn rug!” Her dogs like to race down the hall and slide into the closet door. I swear her Westies think the rug is their personal crash pad. We solved the problem with an inexpensive nonslip rug pad. The pad definitely helped, but she still deals with a wrinkled rug. I’ve heard of people making the mistake of taping down rugs or applying lines of caulk on the back of their rugs. If your rug is in a spot that gets hot from the sun or a radiator, then the tape or caulk could melt and damage your floors. A thick, weighty jute or wool rug will move less than a cotton dhurrie. I know, I know, the patterns on cotton dhurries are so fabulous and the look is casual, but a scrunched-up rug in the entryway is not a good look. Both West Elm (westelm. com) and Pottery Barn (potterybarn. com) have a good selection of jute rugs, but you will still need

to use a rug pad. Heavy wool rugs (choose a dark colour) are durable and have a lower slip factor, but again you’ll need an underpad. As an aside, in my early days of styling, I learned from Michael Pourvakil of Weavers Art (weaversart.com) that you should never use harsh carpet cleaners on wool carpet. Mist any spills with water and blot with a towel. In more severe cases, I’ve used warm water with a couple drops of hand soap and then blotted with a towel. I’ve always liked Flor modular carpet tiles (flor.com) as an alternative to rugs in the hallway because you can choose different patterns, colours and textures. The carpet tiles stay in place with adhesive stickers that won’t damage your floor. The website’s “Flor builder” will help you not only customize a pattern, but also determine how many tiles you will need for your space. Two of the 19.7-inch squares is a good width for hall-

First female combat leader ‘thrilled’ by change Michael Biesecker THE ASSOCIATED PRESS RALEIGH, N.C. — Former U.S. army captain Linda L. Bray says her male superiors were incredulous upon hearing she had ably led a platoon of military police officers through a firefight during the 1989 invasion of Panama. Instead of being praised for her actions, the first woman in U.S. history to lead male troops in combat said higher-ranking officers accused her of embellishing accounts of what happened when her platoon bested an elite unit of the Panamanian Defence Force. After her story became public, Congress fiercely debated whether she and other women had any business being on the battlefield. T he Penta gon’s longstanding prohibition against women serving in ground combat ended Thursday, when U.S. Defence Secretary Leon Panetta announced that most combat roles will now be open to female soldiers and Marines. Panetta said women are integral to the military’s success and will be required to meet the same physical standards as their male colleagues. “I’m so thrilled, excited. I think it’s absolutely won-

The Pentagon is lifting its ban on women serving in combat, opening most front-line positions to all soldiers and Marines. derful that our nation’s military is taking steps to help women break the glass ceiling,” said Bray, 53. “It’s nothing new now in the military for a woman to be right beside a man in operations.” The end of the ban on women in combat comes more than 23 years after Bray stoked intense controversy when her actions in Panama were praised as heroic by Marlin Fitzwater, the spokesman for then-president George H.W. Bush. Bray and 45 soldiers under her command in the 988th Military Police Company, nearly all of them

men, encountered a unit of Panamanian special operations soldiers holed up inside a military barracks and dog kennel. Her troops killed three of the Panamanian unit and took one prisoner before the rest were forced to flee, leaving behind a cache of grenades, assault rifles and thousands of rounds of ammunition, according to Associated Press news reports published at the time. The Americans suffered no casualties. Citing Bray’s performance under fire as an example, Rep. Patricia Schroeder introduced a bill to repeal the

law that barred female U.S. military personnel from serving in combat roles. But the response from Pentagon leaders was less enthusiastic. “The responses of my superior officers were very degrading, like, ‘What were you doing there?”’ Bray said. “A lot of people couldn’t believe what I had done, or did not want to believe it. Some of them were making excuses, saying that maybe this really didn’t happen the way it came out.” Schroder’s bill died after top generals lobbied against the measure, saying female soldiers just weren’t up to

the physical rigours of combat. For Bray, the criticism got personal. T h e a r my re f u s e d t o grant her and other female soldiers who fought on the ground in Panama the prized Combat Infantryman Badge. She was awarded the Army Commendation Medal for Valor, an award for meritorious achievement in a non-combat role. Bray was also the subject of an army investigation over allegations by Panamanian officials that she and her soldiers had destroyed government and personal property during the invasion

that toppled Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega. Though eventually cleared of any wrongdoing, the experience soured Bray on the Army. In 1991, she resigned her commission after eight years of active duty and took a medical discharge related to a training injury. Today’s military is much different from the one Bray knew, with women already serving as fighter pilots, aboard submarines and as field supervisors in war zones. But some can’t help but feel that few know of their contributions, said Alma Felix, 27, a former Army specialist. “We are the suppor t. Those are the positions we fill, and that’s a big deal — we often run the show — but people don’t see that,” Felix said. “Maybe it will put more females forward and give people a sense there are women out there fighting for our country.” Spc. Heidi Olson, a combat medic, received a Purple Heart award for injuries she suffered when an improvised explosive device exploded in Afghanistan last May. “It makes it official now,” Olson said. “We don’t have to do the back door way of getting out into a combat zone.”

NASA engineers test leftover engine from Apollo 11 rocket for ideas Jay Reeves THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — Like vinyl records and skinny ties, good things eventually come back around. At NASA, that means looking to the Apollo program for ideas on how to develop the next generation of rockets for future missions to the moon and beyond. Young engineers who weren’t even born when the last Saturn V rocket took off for the moon are testing a vintage engine from the program. The engine, known to NASA engineers as No. F-6049, was supposed to help propel Apollo 11 into orbit in 1969, when NASA sent Neil Armstrong and two other astronauts to the moon for the first time. The flight went off without a hitch, but no thanks to the engine — it was grounded because of a glitch during a test in Mississippi and later sent to the Smithsonian Institution, where it sat for years. Now engineers are learning to work with technical systems and propellants not used since before the start of the space shuttle program, which first launched in 1981. Nick Case, 27, and other engineers at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center completed on Thursday a series of 11 test-firings of the F-6049’s gas generator, a jet-like rocket which produces 30,000 pounds (13,500 kilograms) of thrust and was used as a starter for the engine. They are trying to see whether a second-generation version of the Apollo engine could produce even more thrust and be operated with a throttle for deepspace exploration. There are no plans to send the old engine into space, but it could become a template for a new generation of motors incorporating parts of its design. In NASA-speak, the old five-metre-tall motor is called an F-1 engine. During moon missions, five of them were arranged at the base of the 109-metre-tall Saturn V system and fired together to power the rocket off the ground toward Earth orbit. Thursday’s test used one part of the engine, the gas generator, which powers the

In an image made from video, NASA engineers in Huntsville, Ala., on Thursday test fire a key part of a rocket engine left over from the 1960s-era Apollo moon missions. Engineers hope to gain valuable knowledge from the engine, which was originally supposed to power the Apollo 11 moon mission in 1969 but was grounded by a problem. machinery to pump propellant into the main rocket chamber. It doesn’t produce the massive orange flame or clouds of smoke like that of a whole F-1, but the sound was deafening as engineers fired the mechanism in an outdoor test stand on a cool, sunny afternoon. The device produced a plume that resembled a blow torch the size of two buses and set fire to a grassy area, which was quickly extinguished. “It’s not small,” Case said. “It’s pretty beefy on its own.” And just like during the Apollo days, people in North Alabama heard rockets thundering in the distance during tests at Marshall. “My wife and daughter were in our front yard and she said they could hear it, which was pretty cool,” Case said after an earlier test. “We live about 15 miles (24 kilometres) away.” A single F-1 engine can produce 1.5 million pounds (675,000 kilograms) of thrust using a fuel composed of liquid oxygen and refined kerosene, which was not used in the space shuttle. The tests were conducted at Marshall in a project conducted with Dynetics Inc.

and Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne, which are studying NASA’s possibilities for deep-space missions years

“My wife and daughter were in our front yard and she said they could hear it, which was pretty cool, We live about 15 miles away.” Nick Case from now. The space agency plans to use commercial launches to reach low Earth orbit; larger rockets are required to escape the planet’s gravity. R.H. Coates, an engineer who works with Case in Marshall’s liquid propulsion office, said young engineers can learn a lot from the work done by predecessors using slide-rules in the 1960s, but no one wants to simply rebuild the old Saturn V engine. “This wouldn’t be your daddy’s F-1,” Coates said. “We’d use new materials and try to simplify it, update it.” Case started at Marshall as a high school intern in 2002 and has been working there since graduating

possible during the 1960s, but he has been impressed by what he learned taking apart the unused Apollo 11 engine. Engine No. F-6049 didn’t fit properly on the Apollo 11 rocket, but it is invaluable now as a testing tool. Coates said a total of 85 F-1 engines were used on 17 Apollo flights without a single failure. About a dozen F-1 engines remain in Huntsville, Ala., home of NASA’s main propulsion centre, and others are located elsewhere. Most are on display. Case said engineers used engine No. F-6049 for the tests because it was the most complete. “It is really an excellent booster,” he said. “The guys in Apollo had it right.”

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — Calling all crocodile experts — South African police say you’re needed to help capture thousands of crocs out on the lam. The crocodiles escaped a breeding farm along a river on the South Africa-Botswana border when the farms’ gates were opened earlier this week to alleviate pressure caused by rising flood waters. Efforts are now being made to wrangle the reptiles and get them back to the Rakwena Crocodile Farm, from where the vast majority escaped. Hangwani Mulaudzi, a spokesman for the police in Limpopo Province, said Friday that experts are needed right away to help sort out the crocodile crisis. “Due to the number of crocodiles that have been washed away there is a need for expertise, people who have expertise to come and assist,” Mulaudzi said. “So we are just making appeals to anyone ... who has knowledge of catching crocodiles to come and assist.” News reports from the scene show people hunting down smaller crocodiles at night, tying them up and taking them back to the Rakwena Crocodile Farm in northern South Africa. The crocodiles are easier to hunt at night because their eyes glow when hit with a beam of light. The farm’s website shows crocs up to five metres long, though crocs of all sizes escaped, Mulaudzi said. It isn’t clear exactly how many crocodiles are on the loose. Mulaudzi said he believes around 10,000 from multiple farms remain on the loose. Officials from the Rakwena Crocodile Farm have been quoted in conflicting South African media accounts as saying either

7,000 escaped or up to 15,000 escaped. The farm originally held about 15,000 crocs. About 2,000 crocodiles have been returned to the farm, Mulaudzi said. The farm did not respond to an email or calls seeking comment. Regardless of the exact number of farm-raised crocs now touring the wild, government officials and experts are calling on people who live near the remote region, which sits on the Limpopo River, to be careful around bodies of water. Many of the crocodiles are assumed to now be residing in the river. “So far we are lucky. There has not been any emergencies,” said Mulaudzi. “And we are hopeful that nothing will happen. But with crocodiles all over in the river we are saying, please, we need assistance.” Donald Strydom, a wildlife expert at South Africa’s Khamai Reptile Centre, said he doesn’t think the croc release will lead to a loss of human life. People are aware of the situation, he said, and crocodiles don’t naturally hunt humans. “People must not go into a monster hunt and think these crocodiles are out to eat them,” Styrdom told South Africa’s eNews Channel Africa. Mulaudzi said he did not think the Rakwena Crocodile Farm would face any charges from police for releasing the crocs, given the emergency nature of the flood. Flood waters are inundating northern South Africa and neighbouring Mozambique. But Mulaudzi said the farm may face scrutiny from the Department of Environmental Affairs, which is helping with the reptile emergency. The Rakwena Crocodile Farm website shows goods such as crocodile-skin purses, belts and hats for sale. Crocodile meat is also available for purchase.
