Publisher’sLetter “Remember to be gentle with yourself and others. We are all children of chance and none can say why some fields will blossom while others lay brown beneath the August sun. Care for those around you. Look past your differences. Their dreams are no less than yours, their choices no more easily made. And give, give in any way you can, of whatever you possess. To give is to love. To withhold is to wither. Care less for your harvest than for how it is shared and your life will have meaning and your heart will have peace.”- Kent Nerburn

A

s we graciously leave a long hot Summer behind us and welcome the cooler days of Fall ahead I reflect on the chaos and absurdities of the past few months. Through the horrific acts of nature and individuals and the subsequent damage those acts caused one thing rang through, we all have something to say, something we can do and some sense of kinship to those who feel and see things the same way that we do. Groups of people formed forces to be reckoned with, whether they were picking up tornado debris in Alabama or holding posters with similar sentiments in front of the Orange County Courthouse, they “teamed up”, made sure their voice was heard. Maybe you just posted on your Facebook page a prayer for those effected by the tornado or your disdain for the accused, you wanted to be heard. That being said, think before you speak and act, you never know who is listening or watching and “hearing” you.

Our inaugural issue of the Home Journal was received with welcome arms and I thank you all for your kind words and generous support. This second issue is full of surprises and interesting articles that we hope will please you. From young entrepreneurs to shining, dedicated leaders of our youth, we are blessed to live in a community that is so “alive” with potential.

As always we welcome your comments, submissions and questions.

Our door is always open.

With Sincere Thanks,

Here’sHow

By Pat Logan

Replac Siding e With Brick .

Dear Pat: My house has siding that is in very bad condition. I would like to remove it and add brick over the exterior. I know I cannot do it myself, but is it possible for a contractor to do it? — Jeri N. Dear Jeri: Siding can look crisp and clean when it is in good condition, but there is practically nothing more unattractive than deteriorating old siding. Before you consider going to the expense of completely changing the type of exterior surface on your home, you may be able to have the siding repaired and painted.

What you are referring to is called adding a brick veneer to your home. The basic

10 | Home Journal

lumber framing will still support your house walls, with the brick veneer being a cosmetic covering. The new brick veneer itself will not provide any strength, but it will protect the wall.

There are three basic methods to add a brick veneer to an existing house: 1) install thin brick siding, 2) install a full brick wall from the foundation up and 3) install brick from just the ground up.

The easiest method, by far, is installing brick siding. This type of siding uses real bricks that are only a half-inch thick. Once they are installed on your house walls, it is virtually impossible to distinguish them from full-thickness bricks. They offer cor-

ner bricks that give the appearance of full bricks even at the corners.

There are several brick siding designs from which to choose. If you think you also need some extra wall insulation, special oneinch-thick foam insulation can be attached to the house wall. There are raised lines on the exterior surface so the thin bricks can be glued on to it in perfect alignment.

To install full-thickness bricks, they will have to be well supported to handle the huge weight of a one- or two-story wall.

One method is to dig a three-foot wide trench all the way down to the existing foundation footings. Make sure your contractor contacts all the utility companies for the locations of underground wires and pipes first.

After they are installed, the gaps are filled with real mortar.

To lower the cost, use four-inch concrete blocks from the footings up to just below the ground surface. The drawbacks to this method are the high material and labor costs and the damage to your landscaping within three feet of the wall. Let the mortar harden for several days before backfilling the trench.

Other designs use four-foot long interlocking panels with the thin bricks already attached. It is also possible to buy the thin bricks in packages of 100 bricks. These are installed on the wall surface by the same method as ceramic tiles are installed in a bathroom.

If your contractor has trouble finding any of these products, try contacting the following manufacturers for the names of local suppliers: Brick-It (www.brickit.com); TruBrix (www.tru-brix.com); and Panel Brick Co. (www.panelbrick.com).

Another option is to attach a strong steel angle to the wall just below the ground surface. This steel angle will support the bricks without having to dig all the way down the footings. Potential problems are failure of the iron over time.

EL Bike Rental

we are young, we are told, “When you grow up, you can do whatever you Wwanthen to do in life.” In the case of local

entrepreneur Erik Slaby, following his goals and dreams would not wait for him to finish growing up and creating EL Bike Rental. When other 15 year olds are playing video games, Erik was putting together a business. “It started because I needed to make some money. My mom gave me an idea of a bike rental business and I researched, bought bikes, created postcards and flyers and eventually a website.”

Erik’s mothers’ small idea combined his love of biking with his passion for sharing that love with others. Erik tells us, “My family and I have been riding here for a long time. Being a teen and running a bike rental company is not your usual combination. “My friends thought me having the bike business was weird at first, but eventually they thought it was cool,” says Erik. To those at any age, who have an idea like Erik’s, he advises, “I’d say you should go for it, and even if you have a simple idea, like mine, you have to work out all the little details, it’s a lot of work but in the end, it’ll all be worth it.”

Just 20$ for half a day, and 30$ for a whole, you can rent a quality cruiser bike. You can get in contact with him through his website at www.elbikerental.com.

TheHomeJournal Interview

Mount Dora Hurricanes Asst.

Coach Michael Hay

B

By Jessica Halliday

“By far, it’s hands down, not even a question, that football is my first love.

My dad started coaching before I was walking.

I’ve been out on a football field my whole life, if it wasn’t for football in the fall, I’d be lost,” expresses the local assistant coach for the Mount Dora Hurricanes football team.

Michael Hay is a man with an easy smile and a scruffy face who juggles a full life of many passions.

He balances his numerous commitments as a science teacher, weightlifting coach, assistant baseball coach and the assistant football coach all for Mount Dora High

school.

Michael Hay’s athletic history began as a boy in Coldwater Ohio. He played sports throughout his youth and ended up with an NFL chance that few players ever get, “I was center and defensive tackle all through high school, and then going into college I transitioned into being a long snapper and that’s what ended up giving me a chance to be with the Chicago Bears.”

His professional experience and positive attitude gives the Hurricanes, the push they need to strive for success.

With the team pouring there sweat and energy into the field during the summer’s workouts, brav-

ing the heat and conditioning themselves to be better and better, Coach Hay gives his expectations and predictions for this season, “This year obviously our goal is to play til we get to the state championship game. I do not see a drop off from last year to this year, we have a lot of guys returning in skill position and we are going to look for our offensive and defensive linemen to step up and fill the voids left from last season.”

The upcoming season is filled with rising players, pushing themselves to new strengths according to Coach Hay, “There are a lot of young guys that are really stepping up and

standing out, who are ready to take up the role from junior varsity to varsity, like Sagar Patel and Gerald England on the offensive line. In skill positions we have guys that played last year, that were freshmen, like Jonta Scott and Jordan Porter who are looking to fill big holes.

Defensively, I really think Jalen Lamar and Jeff Vea have come a long way.”

When asked, what the hardest obstacles will be for the team to overcome this year, Michael Hay’s response was filled with confidence and promise, “The hardest thing for us to overcome is our lack of varsity experience. We have a lot of young guys that are new to the Friday night lights. They will have to grow up quick and get over it to continue the tradition going that we had the last couple of years here, being a winning program. But with a lot of work during the spring and with a trial by fire, meaning we are just going to throw them out there and see what they can do and make adjustments if they can’t handle it, but right now I see every one of them stepping up and doing a good job.”

Assistant coach, Michael Hay and Head Coach Chad Grabowski are lucky to have a team as unified as the Hurricanes. The orange and white attitude and spirit they share keeps them acting like brothers. “We have great team chemistry, we have a lot

of guys that get along on and off the field which is a good thing. You can always see all the football players walking around the campus together and hanging out, which is awesome because alot of schools don’t have that, you will have the “I’ll hang out with this group” only type of teams, where here we have more of a family base unit where they are together all the time wherever you see them,” Rivals of the Hurricanes are expected to be practicing just as hard and pushing themselves just as far as our home team this season. Coach Hay tells us about our hardest opponents to triumph over, “We have a lot of good local tests and a very tough district again this year, Eustis should be much better from last year, Leesburg has been doing really well in the past, you still have South Sumter whose always good in this area and that will be a big district game for us.” With hardhitting teams to compete against, the coaches need to keep the players motivated. Coach Hay invokes and inspires confidence among the team with his meticulous planning and detail, but also he explains, “I’m one of the coaches that gets after it, I’m down doing the drills with them, in their face screaming and yelling all the time. But I’m a hands on coach that’s always having fun with them trying to pep them up.”

Even with the trials on the field the team will have to face this year, the spirit and devotion that are coming from within the stands every Friday always cushions the nerves and softens the worry. “There is nothing that can compare to the atmosphere of having students in the stands screaming and yelling, they have the ‘Krunk Krew’ out there going crazy. There is nothing better for the team than filling the stands and playing in front of a thousand or so plus people,” exclaims the grinning Coach Hay. With the orange and white clad crowd, filling the field with spirit and hope, the teams we come against have much to fear.

“This year obvously our goalis to play til we get to the state championship game.”

Michael Hay is coaching in his fourth season this year.

With the future looking bright, he tells of his personal goals and plans for his career path, “Eventually someday I want to be a

I’ve been out on a football field my whole life, if it wasn’t for football in the fall, I’d be lost,” head coach, whether I get that chance at Mount Dora or another school, that remains to be seen, but right now I’m extremely happy here, I love my job and I

love the position that I’m in. Being in his position has many memorable moments, he tells, “The most rewarding part has to be watching the kids go from being little freshman babies to leaving here as young men.”

With school’s first bells ringing just around the

corner, the football season is soon to follow. The players and coaches can already begin to hear the cheerleader’s yells and the music from the band echoing in the air. They can picture the stands filled with people dressed in homemade orange and white glittered shirts and face paint as the brightness of the Friday night lights cast shadows around the field.

With an inspiration and mentor like Michael Hay on staff for the Mount Dora Hurricanes football team and the energetic atmosphere and confidence provided by the students and community here, the team should be off to a memorable, record breaking season.

Buffalo Springfield

W

hile the British invasion was taking over our radios and television sets with bands like The Beatles, North American band Buffalo Springfield decided to come along and take over with classic rock songs like ‘For What It’s Worth’ and ‘Mr. Soul’.

The group debuted on April 11, 1966 at the Troubadour in Hollywood with the original line-up of Neil Young, Stephan Stills, Dewey Martin, and Bruce Palmer. Through lineup changes and disagreements, the band from 1966 to 1968. They became legends after they disbanded which led to the success of its members. Stills formed the band Crosby, Stills, & Nash with David Crosby and Graham Nash in ’68, Young had a successful solo career also joining Stills in Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. In 1997, the group was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. An original reunion will never happen sadly due to the 2004 death of Bruce Palmer and 2009 death of Dewey Martin. The members Neil Young, Stephen Stills and Richie Furay reunited at the annual Bridge School Benefit concerts on October 23 and 24, 2010 in Mountain View, California. Now Buffalo Springfield has officially reunited with six concerts which started on June 1, 2011 in Oakland, California. The band’s lineup includes Stephen Stills, Neil Young, Richie Furay, Rick Rosas, and Joe Vitale. Their most recent show was performing at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts festival in Tennessee.

The Big Orange

A

s a photographer living in Lake County, I find that beauty is always just around the corner.

From the quaint towns, to the stunning lakes, photography here is not limited to sunrise or sunset. Wildlife, on our many nature walks, is both bountiful and accessible. The Lake County photographer has been gifted with a diverse array of subjects; I personally enjoying seeking out the remains of old Florida tucked away throughout the county and waiting to be rediscovered by the discerning and persistent eye. One of my favorite subjects is the giant orange located on U.S. 441 just below Renninger’s Antique Center. Although the history and ownership of this structure seems to have been lost to time, it is one of the last remaining artifacts of the golden age of Florida’s citrus industry. I think it is imperative that this unique object, like many of its kind throughout the state, is preserved as a symbol of our state for visitors and local alike to continue enjoying for generations.

Having photographed this numerous times, in both black and white and color, it still continues to provoke in me memories of childhood, when sundrenched Florida was a favorite vacation des-

tination of my family. I urge you to look around, seeking out other artifacts of in bygone tourist age around Lake County. With today’s digital revolution, from iPhones to dSLR’s, it is so easy to take that extra minute to bring back a memory or make a new one. The first rule of photography is this:

always bring your camera, for you never know what sights you may run across and what precious relics of the past you may resurrect.

I always go by the old adage, “if your pictures aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough.” Keep shooting, Rich.

MovieReview

X- Men: First Class The Best One Yet Directed by Matthew Vaughn Produced by Gregory Goodman Simon Kinberg Lauren Shuler Donner Bryan Singer Story by Sheldon Turner Bryan Singer Starring James McAvoy Michael Fassbender Rose Byrne January Jones Jennifer Lawrence Oliver Platt Kevin Bacon

X- Men:

First Class is the newest edition to the megafranchise and it surely delivers. I have been a fan of the series since it began in 2000 and this installment seemed much more sophisticated than the predecessors. The movie weaves in historical events like the Cuba Missile Crisis and the Kennedy presidency to the storyline.

The movie begins at Auschwitz where the young Erik/ Magneto (Michael Fassbender) is forced to show his ability to create magnetic force fields by camp doctor/mutant Sebastian Shaw (Kevin Bacon) or they will kill his mother.

Shaw kills his mother and this event controls the rest of Erik’s actions from this

28 | Home Journal

event and forward. At the same time we are also being introduced to a young Charles Xavier/ Professor X (James McAvoy) and Raven/ Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) in the more normal setting of New York where they are surrogate siblings.

Fast forward to the 1960s during the Cold War Era/ Cuba Missile Crisis where Erik is seeking revenge on Sebastian Shaw and Xavier is receiving his doctorate in genetic research at Oxford with shape shifting Raven by his side. Xavier then meets CIA agent Moira MacTaggert (Rose Byrne) who she recruits to help find more mutants in the world to take down Shaw, who now is trying to take over the world with fellow mutant Emma Frost (January Jones) and the Hellfire Club. Xavier finds Erik and they begin their recruitment sequence which includes a hilarious cameo by a future X- men. In a way, Erik and Xavier’s relationship reminds me Martin Luther King and Malcolm X’s. Erik is all about being against the government and Xavier is willing to work with them.

What makes this movie shine is the stellar and talented cast. This movie also introduces to you lesserknown mutants such as taxi

driver Armando/Darwin (Edi Gathegi), Sean/Banshee (Caleb Landry Jones, dancer Angel (Zoe Kravitz), inmate Alex/Havok (Lucas Till) and aspiring scientist Hank/Beast (Nicholas Hoult). Jennifer Lawrence really gives heart and warmth to Mystique and James McAvoy gives a personality and humor to Professor X that I never knew existed. But the standout performance was Michael Fassbender in the role of Erik/ Magneto. He brought intensity and a likable quality to the character.

First Class is a fresh and youthful spin to the series.

Director Matthew Vaughn (Kick Ass) brings the style of 60s movies like James Bond to the 21st century.

You don’t have to be a previous fan or a comic book devotee to really enjoy this film. I walked out of the theater feeling a whole new appreciation for comic book movies. This new refreshing reboot to the X- Men franchise has brought a new life to the dying series.

EndStory SkyWatch

By Bernard Leroy Welch

M

y Mom, sister, and I spent our summers in a trailer with an attached screenedin porch out at Bob-o-Link Campgrounds on Lake Michigan’s south shore. From sunup to sundown, we ran through woods, scrambled over dunes, and lazed on the beach.

Dad worked in Chicago; he came out on weekends. Friday nights after supper, he’d make a campfire. We’d sit around, sing songs, and roast marshmallows. When it was a while into darkness, we’d sing “Good Night, Irene.” Dad would splash water on the fire, my sister hollering, “Let me do it!

Let me do it!”

Then he’d go in the trailer and get the flashlight, and we’d go crazy with excitement, getting on our shoes and shirts, long sleeves, if there were bugs.

He patted his shirt and pants, set down his pipe and tobacco pouch on the table inside the porch, and put the watch in his pocket.

“Don’t let them be waking people up, Ray,” Mom warned.

My sister and I took off down the two-rutted dirt road, past campsites, Dad calling after us to slow down and be quiet. We looked back to see the flashlight click on and start bouncing our way, flashing up toward us once in a while. We ran ahead in a frenzy of delight, full of loud fusses at each other, stumbling up the deep-sanded mouth of a pathway toward the wooded ridge, Mom’s admonitions fading and the flashlight in slow, earnest pursuit.

The dune sand was like a lighted path, but we jumped into the blueberry-bush woods to hide behind a tree and spook Dad.

30 | Home Journal

“Don’t be hurting me with your bony selves,” he talked into the woods.

We held our breath till he was even with us, then jumped him in a gangle of arms and legs.

“O.K. O.K. You got me!” He covered up and let us wrap around him, then turned us upside down onto the sand, each of us on an arm.

“Don’t be yelling. Mom will hear you.”

We ran off ahead to find a clearing in the trees.

“Here, Dad! Here!”

“Here, Dad!” He found one better than ours.

“Can you find the Big Dipper?” he asked.

We yelled at it against each other, flailing our arms upward.

“And the North Star?”

“The two stars in the pot make a line!” my sister yelled. “There it is!”

Then we guessed at the time based on the angle of the lines in the sky.

Dad pulled out the watch and usually we were within a half-hour.

He showed us other stars too: Cassiopeia, the Queen; Cepheus, the King.

And he taught us to recognize the steady light of planets.

We were quiet, necks crooked back, lips parted in wonder.
