THE PILOT — SOUTHERN PINES, N.C.

Dear Community,

NO PAWS LEFT BEHIND

OVER 60% OF American households have at least one pet, be it dogs, cats, or any variety of furry or feathered residents. With the number of foreclosures in the recent past, you may not have considered the millions of pets faced with vacating their h homes, or worse, facing abandonment because their owners are unable to find temporary shelter, as they themOPENtoHOUSE Sunday selves are forced relocate under stressful conditions.

If you or someone you know is experiencing a similar situation, you will be pleased to learn that a non-profit organization called No Paws Left Behind Is educating the public and helping to provide solutions for “foreclosure pets.” Their mission is to assist owners with loan workout options but they also provide resources for find-

ing local no kill shelters, foster care programs, and other alternative h housing for their pets.

When you visit their website at nopawsleftbehind.org, you can enter your ZIP code to locate shelters and other options for your pets. They have been working over five years now with borrowers and lenders on loss mitigation and default management, and even provide monetary 1-4PM Whispering assistance for deposits ifPines you relocate and have to pay extra to keep Fido or Fluffy in your new digs.

As homeowners, lenders and the government all move toward resolving the current crisis, we should not forget those victims who cannot speak or act for themselves.

MOORE COUNTY HOME BUILDERS ASSOCIATION

By Bob Van Houten Moore County Home Builders Association President

Choose The Right Tree

The trees you choose to landscape your home not only add beauty, they can help cut energy costs by providing shade in the summer and windbreaks from strong winds in the winter. Trees clean the air, reduce noise, create privacy and can increase a property’s value. The right tree for your particular environment and the right spot to plant the tree in your yard are important considerations in order to get all these benefits from the trees.

To ensure a tree’s maximum life-span, consider what the tree needs in regard to your environmental factors. The first consideration is temperature because low temperatures, especially if they occur suddenly, can freeze and kill the living cells in trees. Elevation and which side of a hill where the tree will be planted also needs to be taken into consideration because these factors influence the temperature.

The amount of moisture the tree needs will also help you determine which species will be suitable for your yard.

Each species tolerates

wet or dry growing conditions to a different degree. Special attention must be given to your selection if your yard is periodically flooded, or very dry, or is continually exposed to the drying effect of wind. Watering can be modified on a dry site, but, even when you irrigate, it is important to know the optimal soil moisture requirements for your species.

The amount of shade a tree will tolerate is another consideration.

Some species, like white birch and most pines, require full sunlight. Other species, like most maples, hemlocks and yews, grow well in shade. Don’t make the mistake of planting your tree where it is mismatched with the amount of available light.

Every locality has its problems with particular insects or diseases. The best way to avoid trouble is to avoid the species that are prone to having these pests. Although it is possible to buy varieties that have been bred for resistance to a disease, in most cases planting a species which is prone to local pests is

asking for trouble because it places the tree under stress that makes it more vulnerable to insects and disease.

Soil factors are important when selecting a tree. Soil depth, structure and pH, in addition to soil moisture, can make the difference between success or failure after planting. For example, deep-rooted species will need adequate soil depth for their structural roots, whereas shallow-rooted species may do all right on sites where soils thinly cover bedrock or a hard layer of clay. Species that need light, sandy soil should not be planted in rocky or clay-type soils.

Unfortunately, the ability of a species to tolerate air pollution is becoming more important. Chemicals in the air vary with localities, and, in some cases, the accumulative effects of pollution are just beginning to show up. Salt spray from either the ocean or street deicing can be a problem locally, and some species are more sensitive to it than others.

Where these are problems, ask a certified arborist, nursery

FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 2012

professional, urban forester, or extension agent about which trees to avoid.

After choosing a species that will grow well in your environment, your next consideration is where the tree should be planted is the next consideration. Providing shade is why many people plant trees. Trees provide a greater cooling effect than man-made structures because they not only block the rays of the sun, they add water to the air through transpiration. Observation is the best way to determine where to plant to maximize shade. Position the tree where you want the shadow during the hottest time of the year and the time of day you desire the shade.

Pre-plan where you will plant your trees. One good principle is to never locate a tree where it will split your lot or a view into equal halves. Another is to use your trees to enhance the house and lot. For example, to give the lot an appearance of greater depth, plant on a diagonal line outward from the front corners of the house.

This is called framing.

Trees planted behind the house and to the side will provide background.

Trees can also add visual appeal to a patio, pool or play area; or they can be used to separate spaces and provide space enclosure. Trees with color or some other showy feature can be used as accent points in your landscaping picture.

When planting trees as windbreaks and screens, low-branching conifers that hold their foliage are most effective for screening unsightly areas and providing privacy. Noise is best reduced by tall, densely planted trees with fleshy, broad leaves.

If combined with conifers, some noise reduction can be extended throughout the year. Dust can also be filtered by such a combination.

Boundaries can be defined with trees. Small, narrow-crowned species will do the job while not invading your neighbor’s space. Available space is probably the consideration most often overlooked or misunderstood

when deciding what tree to plant. Even for a professional, it is often difficult to envision the planting site 5, 10 or 20 years in the future. Yet, it is essential before planting to know what the tree will look like as it nears maturity. Consider the height, crown, spread and root space. The character of tree crowns varies among species as much as leaf shapes or bark patterns. Shape is another clue to how well a tree will fit the space you have available, what problems might occur, and how well it will help meet the goals you have for your property.

Tips for refreshing your home with paint color

PAGE D6

THE PILOT — SOUTHERN PINES, N.C.

(ARA) - For many people, the onset of spring and summer is the ideal time to take on a home improvement project. Paint is a popular choice for those looking to freshen up their space, given that it is an easy, economical activity and a fun way to make a dramatic difference.

In fact, painting tops spring home improvement wish lists, according to the 2012 Spring Home Improvement Survey by the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI).

With seven of 10 homeowners planning home improvement projects, nearly half (49 percent) cite painting as the mostdesired need. They say that bedrooms and bathrooms are the first targets for fresh paint (both at 29 percent), followed by living or family rooms (28 percent).

To help people jump start spring endeavors with low-cost project ideas and

tips, NARI and Sherwin-Williams are launching National Painting Week on April 16. "People are looking for more cost-saving ways to enhance their spaces," says NARI chairman Paul Zuch, certified remodeler.

"Some of the most dramatic transformations are projects like resurfacing cabinets or changing kitchen or bathroom hardware, as well as painting the interior or exterior of your home."

With today's technologies at your fingertips, determining the right paint color is easy and anyone can be their own interior decorator. * Choose colors like a pro using coordinated color collections. "It's easy to achieve designer looks in your own home with HGTV HOME by SherwinWilliams," says David Bromstad, HGTV designer. "Each of the collections represents a style to match

your own, and features colors that work together in any combination. The wallpaper coordinates with the colors and the exterior color collections highlight your home's architecture to achieve a harmonious look room to room, inside and out." * See your finished look without picking up a brush with Sherwin-Williams' color visualizer, where you can digitally repaint your space, or get inspired with Chip It! (www.letschipit.com), which instantly turns any online image into a color palette using more than 1,500 colors. With the mobile ColorSnap app, you can turn anything that inspires you into paint colors. Capture an image with your smartphone and you will be able to see the paint color and two complementary colors. * Liven up your living area by revamping the bedroom, giving new life to an

The history of kitchen innovations

(ARA) - Technology is in virtually every facet of our lives, yet many of the everyday conveniences we enjoy now have been around for less than 100 years.

In the kitchen, for instance, the various appliances, fixtures and gadgets that converted the once single-function space into the home's hub of activity have changed dramatically since their introduction in the early 1900s. A look back through history shows how some of these items originated and evolved over the years.

A tool of convenience, the microwave oven helps you cook food faster. Born of the same technology used by radar systems in World War II, the microwave oven was introduced by Raytheon engineer Percy LeBaron Spencer in 1947. Dubbed the Radarange oven, the first rendition of the appliance was too large and expensive for residential home use.

The first countertop microwave, which was suitable for residential use, wasn't introduced until more than 20 years later in 1967.

Today, microwave ovens are sleek appliances, often built into cabinetry and complete with touch pad controls and a wide range of settings. With advancements in technology, they can bake, grill and roast food that is just as delicious as if it was prepared in a conventional oven.

The refrigerator is an important appliance because it safely and efficiently stores your food, helping keep it fresh and safe to eat.

This makes it possible for you to shop ahead of time and save leftover food. How did people get by before the refrigerator was invented? People used what was called an icebox, a compact nonmechanical refrigerator, which used a block of ice to keep food cool.

The design had its limitations and became a health issue as safe sources of natural ice became harder to find.

The refrigerator was an essential appliance in the residential kitchen by the 1920s, and more than 90 percent of urban homes had a refrigerator by

1950, according to History Magazine. The modern day refrigerator features a number of innovations that make it more than just a place to store food. For example, a dual cooling system allows the fridge and freezer to circulate cool air separately; ensuring odors from the fridge don't affect the pureness of ice. Soon, household refrigerators will communicate with homeowners virtually to alert them when items are about to spoil and help populate grocery shopping lists.

Even the kitchen faucet has evolved significantly through thoughtful innovation.

The founder of Masco Corporation, entrepreneur Alex Manoogian, developed the first successful washerless ball valve faucet in 1954. He named it after the shape of the internal cam, which resembled the fourth letter of the Greek alphabet: delta.

It was the first singlehandle kitchen faucet design and the beginning of Delta Faucet Company. Since then, the company has continued to shape the plumbing products category.

"We consider ourselves America's faucet innovation leader because we've made our name with a solid history of technological innovations," says Bob Rodenbeck, director of research and development at Delta Faucet Company. "From the very beginning, we've sought to produce innovative solutions to provide people with a better way to experience water."

In 2009, Delta Faucet introduced its innovative Touch2O Technology, which enables the user to activate the flow of water with a simple touch anywhere on the spout or handle. The technology makes it easier to turn on the water flow when hands are messy or turn off the water when it is not needed between tasks, helping to reduce water flow.

Whether you're cooking you're a meal, storing your produce, or washing the dishes, all of the gadgets in your kitchen have evolved over time to improve your everyday life.

most efficient home buying and selling experience possible.”

Prudential Gouger O’Neal & Saunders, which is independently owned and operated, became an affili- ate of the Prudential Real Estate Network in 1996. Prudential Gouger O’Neal & Saunders,

founded over 40 years ago, continues to be a Real Estate leader in Moore County. Since that time, it has earned a host of hon- ors, including The Prudential Real Estate prestigious Cornerstone Award in recognition of operational Excellence.
