Preserving History in the Cemeteries By Kayla Hawthorne Special to the Sentinel MIDDLEPORT — Visitors and participants of the Ohio Local History Alliance regional meeting hosted by the Meigs County Historical Society and the Chester Shade Historical Association got tips on preserving cemeteries and old headstones. Jay Russell, a vice president with the Meigs County Pioneer and Historical Society, has been cleaning, preserving and restoring cemeteries for many years. Saturday morning he gave a lecture about the dos and don’ts of cleaning and repairing headstones. Russell’s first rule in cleaning a headstone is to “do no harm”. He says to be as gentle as possible and to start with clean water and a soft bristled brush “Sometimes the best thing to do is nothing,” Russell said. If a stone is too damaged, trying to repair it may only make it worse. Sometimes recording the information on the stone is the only option. Before putting anything except water on the stone, it is important to identify the stone type. Russell said headstones have been made out of slate but usually in New England cemeteries; soapstone is common in the South; sandstone was common but its fine grain often flakes; limestone is less common but was still used; marble is common because it’s easy to carve; and granite is a common stone in recent years and it holds up better than others. Different stone types will react to different cleaning materials. Some materials will get in the stones pores and will cause a discoloration or deterioration. “To me, that stone is a living thing,” Russell said because water and materials can move through the headstone. Russell has taken apart larger headstones that were leaning over. Some of the older stones could have been three A NEWS Obituary: 2A Business: 3A Opinion: 4A Weather: 5A Sports: 6A-8A B SPRING HOME Comics: 7A Classifieds: 8A Volunteer firefighters respond to fire later, from late on the night of May 14 into the early morning of May 15, 1886, Ohio’s deadliest tornado outbreak of the 19th century occurred. Early reports were of a single 110mile tornado path, but later research showed it to be three separate tornadoes. The destruction was impressive and prompted the Cleveland Plain Dealer to proclaim that nothing like it has ever been known in the history of Ohio. The first tornado entered Ohio about 10 P.M. north of Fort Recovery and ended near Celina in Mercer County. Six people were killed as farm houses were leveled along the POMEROY — Volunteer fire fighters from several departments in Meigs County were on the scene of a structure fire on Tuesday evening. According to the Pomeroy Volunteer Fire Department run report, State 1 (Pomeroy), State 4 (Rutland) and Station 10 (Middleport) were alerted to a working structure fire on Elk Run Road in Bedford Township. During response, multiple calls were received that the house was fully involved. Station 1 advised to have Station 8 (Tuppers Plains) respond with a tanker for assistance. The report, which was posted to the department’s Facebook page, further states, once onscene, personnel found a double wide trailer that was fully involved. Crews pulled handlines off of Pumper 1 to extinguish. Due to the length of the driveway, other trucks staged until a tanker shuttle was set up. During the first shuttle, crews used the Middleport engine to draft from the swimming pool near the residence. Crews were then able to use more water from the secure water source, which assisted in battling to the blaze.

He will dismantle the top from the base and level the area before properly resetting the stones. Russell urges individuals to contact a headstone cleaning and preserving professional before applying materials to the stone. He also encourages people to contact the owners of the cemeteries to ensure they have proper grass cutting practices so the stones are not damaged. Russell said there are three types of cemetery owners: townships; municipalities such as cities and villages but not counties; and private associations such as churches and family cemeteries on private properties.

Beth A. Longenecker, D.O., becomes Dean ATHENS, Ohio — An emergency medicine physician and alumna of the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine will become the new dean of the college’s Athens campus effective June 1. Beth A. Longenecker, D.O. (’91), who was chosen from three finalists to fill the position, is currently associate dean for clinical education and assistant professor of emergency medicine at Midwestern University’s Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine. “I’m excited,” Longenecker said about her Heritage College appointment. “This is an opportunity to come back and actually give back to the school where I got my start as an osteopathic physician.” Ken Johnson, D.O., Heritage College executive dean and Ohio University chief medical affairs officer, announced Longenecker as the dean choice during his 2019 State of the College address Feb. 28, prompting spontaneous applause from his three-campus audience. “I’m very pleased that Dr. Longenecker has accepted the position of Athens Campus dean,” Johnson said afterwards. “She will come on board at a time of dynamic change for both our college and the osteopathic medical profession. I’m confident, based on her national and regional leadership, that she’s ready and able to contribute creatively to that process.” After graduating with a B.A. in musicology with a minor in piano performance from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 1987, Longenecker began her medical training the same year. She was board certified in emergency medicine in 2000. Prior to her associate deanship at Midwestern, she served from 2013-2015 as associate dean for clinical sciences at William Carey University College of Osteopathic Medicine. From 2002 to 2012, Longenecker was program director successively for two emergency medicine residency programs: St. Barnabas Hospital in The Bronx, N.Y., from 2002-2005, followed by Mount Sinai Medical Center and the Miami Heart Institute in Miami Beach, Fla. “Dr. Longenecker has the opportunity to make a tremendous impact on the Heritage College and on the community at large,” Executive Vice President and Provost Chaden Djalali said. “I am confident she is the right person to join the Heritage College team as it continues to break new ground through its evolving curriculum.” Longenecker said she’s particularly eager to get involved with community outreach programs at the Heritage College. “I’m very excited by the interest in health care in southeastern Ohio, and the impact we can make through the community health clinics and the outreach,” she said. “And I’m very interested in helping to foster growth in that area. I’m also excited to be part of a campus where we have a school of engineering, a school of leadership and other colleges that can work together to make an impact on medical education.” She congratulated the college on its development of the new Pathways to Health and Wellness Curriculum, which she suggested was a wise move in light of both changes taking place in health care delivery and the more experiential learning style of the upcoming generation of medical students. “In this rapidly expanding informational age, we definitely are making the right choices in moving to a curriculum that’s more systems-based and hands-on,” she said. Longenecker currently serves as president of the Illinois Osteopathic Medical Society, as an evaluator for the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation and as a trustee for the Foundation for Osteopathic Emergency Medicine. She previously has served as vice chair of the American College of Osteopathic Emergency Physicians Research Committee and was awarded the ACOEP Women in Medicine Leadership Award. Longenecker becomes the second female dean for the college since its creation in 1975. In 1993, the college made history when it hired Barbara Ross Lee, D.O., as the first female African American dean of a U.S. medical college. The creation of a campus-specific dean for academics at the Athens campus was a recommendation that came out of strategic planning discussions involving faculty, staff and the American Association of Medical Colleges. In July 2018, Heritage College Vice Dean Wayne Carlsen, D.O., who also serves director of the college’s Community Health Programs & Area Health Education Center, was named as interim Athens campus dean.

After that date, the scholarship may be rescinded and declared Appeals because maximum consecutive sentences were contrary to law as the record showed only one previous felony conviction and that none of the seriousness factors for felony sentencing under Ohio Revised Code §2929.12 were present. The State argued that Robinson’s sentence was not contrary to law because the record supported said sentence. In March 2018, a jury convicted Morgan of two counts of felonious assault and one count of attempted murder. The convictions were based on one act and therefore merged for sentencing purposes. Meigs County Court of Common Pleas Judge I. Carson Crow sentenced Morgan to the maximum sentence of 11 years in prison. Morgan stabbed a man in the neck three times with the intent to kill the victim. On appeal, Morgan set forth two assignments of error. The first assignment of error alleged that the trial court erred by failing to grant Morgan’s motion to dismiss his case for lack of a speedy trial under Ohio Revised Code §2945.71 and Ohio Revised Code §2945.73. Specifically, Morgan alleged that since the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office did not timely serve an arrest warrant upon Morgan, Morgan’s right to a Special to the Register with Ohio Revised Code §2945.75(A)(2) and violated Robinson’s right to Due Process under From page 1A Article I, Section 16 of the Ohio Constitution were ordered to be and the Fifth and Fourserved consecutively. teenth Amendments to Robinson damaged Middleport Jail property the United States Constiwhile being house in the tution.

The State argued that law enforcement could not serve an arrest warrant upon Morgan because Morgan listed an invalid address on his bond paperwork, because Morgan moved multiple times and failed to update his address with the court, and because Morgan otherwise took active steps to avoid being arrested while knowing he had been indicted for Attempted Murder. The second assignment of error alleged that Morgan’s sentence was both unsupported by competent, credible evidence in the record and contrary to law. The State argued that Morgan’s maximum sentence was supported by the record and not contrary to law because Morgan premeditated the attempted murder, because Morgan attempted to murder the victim by stabbing the victim three times in the neck, and because of the serious physical harm Morgan caused to the victim which resulted in the victim nearly dying from his injuries. The Court of Appeals will issue written decisions for each case at a later date. Information provided by Prosecutor James K.

College of Business provides VITA site RIO GRANDE — The University of Rio Grande’s Emerson E. Evans School of Business is offering Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) through the accounting program. The VITA program offers free tax preparation to low-income taxpayers. Interested students and faculty at Rio have volunteered to assist the community by becoming IRS-certified to offer tax counseling. Rio’s volunteers include not only accounting students, but students in other majors as well as faculty. College of Business Professor Brenda Sharp said this is a unique opportunity for the students and faculty to collaborate to provide service to the community. “Community service is emphasized as part of the education here at Rio and this program gives the student and faculty volunteers an opportunity to learn while they are providing an important service to the community. We are offering free tax preparation by our volunteers who are trained and certified through the IRS VITA tax training program. This is a great opportunity for the community to interact with students in the School of Business,” Sharp said. “This program gives students and faculty the opportunity to work together outside the classroom, fostering more mentor style relationships between faculty and students. I’m so proud of the time and effort everyone has put into volunteering to prepare returns and the hours of training to become certified.” To qualify for VITA, the taxpayer must have an income of $54,000 or less. The site will only prepare basic tax returns, which include wage and retirement incomes. As a requirement set by the IRS for VITA locations, clients must bring a photo ID for the taxpayer(s) to their appointment. If taxpayers are married and filing jointly, both spouses must be present. They are also required to show a Social Security card for everyone whose name is included on the tax return. Sharp said it is important for Rio to offer this opportunity to assist residents with federal and Ohio income taxes. “We are here to fulfill a need in the community. Anyone who meets VITA’s criteria will be able to come to campus to get their federal taxes prepared for free,” Sharp said. “Filing taxes is required by law, but not everyone has the ability to pay to have their taxes prepared or the knowledge to prepare their own returns. VITA provides some relief by offering free assistance to those who qualify. Providing this service here on our campus is one way we can give back to our community.” The VITA service is by appointment, but walk-ins are accepted upon availability. Volunteers are available in Bob Evans Farms Hall every Monday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Thursdays from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. through Thursday, April 11. The VITA site will be closed the week of March 4 during Rio’s Spring Break. For more information or make an appointment, contact Linda Thevenir at 740-2457373 or Brenda Sharp at 740-245-7284.

I had stopped at Kroger’s for a gallon of milk and overheard a middleaged woman in the checkout line tell her friend how sad she felt. Her fiance had informed her the night before he was leaving her. She was weeping as she told her Pat friend how she regretted her behavHaley ior. “He warned me, but I didn’t lisContributing ten,” she said, frigid air blowing into columnist her face as she hurried to her car. Having no room in my life for added regrets, I did something I had never done before. I wrote a fan letter to Bob Cousy, the former Boston Celtic. “Dear Mr. Cousy,” the letter began. I asked him if he remembered a game in Cincinnati against the Royals when some of the Celtics had stood in the concession line drinking Cokes during the halftime break. Two days ago, I received a wonderful, handwritten reply from Bob Cousy. “Please excuse my scribbling,” he wrote. “I’m proud to state that I am still computer illiterate.” He went on to say that he found my question interesting, but would have to deny having any memory of the event (but went on to drolly suggest to keep in mind he is 90 years old, and has difficulty with remembering what happened yesterday). “I cannot imagine a scenario where Auerbach would have allowed his team to leave the locker room at halftime for hot dogs or any other reason,” he continued. “Must have been Celtic impersonators!” In Manhattan’s East Side of New York, Robert Joseph Cousy shot basketballs on hardscrabble playground courts, never dreaming he would become a member of the Celtics. About 2,800 miles away, in Oakland, Calif., William Felton Russell spent his childhood living in a series of public housing projects. Basketball wasn’t on his radar. But in 1956, the NBA draft and fate came together to link the two men together for the first time. The Boston Celtics drafted Russell as their starting center. However, life in America wasn’t all shamrocks and cigar smoke. Jim Crow laws were still flaring in the United States, and racism touched even the best NBA players. In 1961, the Celtics were scheduled to play a preseason exhibition game in Lexington, Ky. The team was staying at a nice downtown hotel with a well-appointed restaurant where the team had gone downstairs to eat. “We really can’t serve you people,” the restaurant manager told the black players. Bill Russell was outraged. Russell, along with Satch Sanders, K.C. Jones and Sam Jones, decided not to play. “The white players gave it consideration,” Sanders says. “But in the end, they decided to play the game.” Seven white Celtics played, including Bob Cousy, who didn’t protest. According to Gary Pomerantz’s recent book titled, “Cousy, Russell, the Celtics and What Matters in the End,” Bob Cousy spends time now reflecting not only on his accomplishments, but also about the things he didn’t do, and he wants to make amends. Cousy says it pained him to watch AfricanAmericans struggle for acceptance and inclusion. But he remained silent. “I thought about it for years,” Cousy said. “And I sent Russell a handwritten letter three years ago.” “And I basically said, ‘Russ, I know we’ve never been pen pals, and I’m sorry about that.

However, I didn’t do that.’” “Well, then six months passed without a response,” Gary Pomerantz said. “And then a year. And then, two-and-a-half years later, in August 2018, Cousy got a call on a Sunday night at home.” It was an old, somewhat enfeebled voice saying, “Bob, it’s Bill Russell. I’m calling to see how you are.” “We talked for about 10 or 12 minutes,” Cousy said. And then he asked the question: “Russ, I sent you a letter a couple years ago. Did you get it?” “Yes I did. Thank you,” Bill Russell said, but nothing more. Ironically, a man in Boston later wrote about his mother and his regrets.

Mrs. Margaretta McComas was found 50 yards to the south, stripped of clothing and dead. Hathiman lay dead in another direction with a broken neck and both legs mangled and broken. Many cattle, horses, and sheep were killed. A fine orchard of J. L. Carpenter was leveled. The depot of the K. & M. Railroad was cut in two, dividing it from the roof to the ground, and carried eastward. A frame home of Mr. Mort McKnight was torn away. Mr. and Mrs. McKnight and their daughter heard the storm coming and threw themselves flat on the floor, face downwards, and the house was borne away from over their heads, the wind catching them up and pitching them with great force on the ground. Mrs. McKnight had two ribs broken, and Mr. McKnight was badly bruised, but they succeeded with great difficulty in reaching the house of Dr. Dudgeon, a neighbor who, fortunately, had escaped the tornado. Mr. Jewell’s blacksmith shop was cleared of all its fixtures as the wind retained its strength and the combination of the blacksmithing materials and wind tore a lot of standing timber which had the tops cut out at an angle of thirty degrees from the base until “out of the woods.” The storm lasted about two hours, but the havoc was the work of a few minutes.

The 76ers won 106-99. PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Asked to assess his overall performance, Joel Embiid said he was “trash.” When the Philadelphia 76ers needed him the most, however, their AllStar center came to play. Ben Simmons scored 26 points, Embiid had 19 rebounds and made some big plays down the stretch, and the 76ers held off the Cleveland Cavaliers 106-99 on Tuesday night. “Myself and Jo, we take a lot of responsibility to try to get the team going, whether it’s with energy or defense,” Simmons said. “Jo did a great job on the defensive end.” Collin Sexton led the Cavaliers with 26 points, including a layup with 3:10 left that pulled Cleveland within one. Cedi Osman added 18 and put the Cavs ahead 97-96 with under 3 minutes to go as boos rained down in Philly. But Mike Scott responded with a 3-pointer to put the 76ers back ahead. And after Simmons made a free throw and Jordan Clarkson a layup for Cleveland, Embiid followed his own miss with a thunderous dunk to give the Sixers a 102-99 lead with under a minute left. Embiid, playing in his second game after missing eight straight with a sore left knee, had a block on the other end and then made four consecutive free throws to seal the win as “MVP! MVP!” chants replaced the boos. Embiid and JJ Redick finished with 17 points apiece. Simmons added 10 rebounds and eight assists. “We’re just getting back in the flow,” Embiid said. “By playoff time, we’ll be back to normal.” One night removed from a surprising 25-point win over second-place Toronto, Cleveland, owner of the third-worst record in the NBA, put a big scare into the thirdplace team in the East. After shooting just 22 percent from the field in the first quarter to fall behind 24-12, the Cavs took a 38-37 lead midway through the second quarter on two straight 3-pointers by Osman. Playing against one of the league’s worst defenses, the Sixers had 21 turnovers, including 14 in the first half. “We did a lot of damage ourselves in terms of the turnover,” Simmons said. “At the same time, they had the energy, which we were lacking a little bit.” Both teams gave key players planned days of rest: Jimmy Butler for Philadelphia and Kevin Love for Cleveland. Besides Love, the Cavs were also missing, among others, Marquese Chriss See CAVS | 7A RIO GRANDE SPORTS BRIEFS Rio women top RSC Scholar-Athlete list MIDDLETOWN, Ohio — A conference-high 10 student-athletes representing the University of Rio Grande are among the 57 honorees named to the 2018-19 River States Conference Women’s Basketball Scholar-Athlete Team.

On the girls side, Eastern had three players on the list, Wahama added two, while South Gallia and Southern earned one apiece. Along with seven ladies, one coach representing the Ohio Valley Publishing area was selected, as Wahama’s John Arnott was named TVC Hocking girls Coach of the Year. Arnott guided the Lady Falcons to a 7-9 league record, tying the Federal Hocking for fifth. This year, Wahama recorded the most overall wins since the 2009-10 season. The Lady Eagles — who were second in the league with a 13-3 record — were represented on the all-league squad by a trio of seniors, Jess Parker, Alyson Bailey and Kelsey Casto. This is Parker’s third allleague honor, also being selected in her freshman and sophomore seasons. Bailey and Casto are both first time league honorees. Representing the Lady Falcons on the list were junior Hannah Rose and sophomore Emma Gibbs.

The Columbus center had a fever and missed his team’s loss to the New York Islanders on Monday. His return to the lineup on Tuesday night powered the Blue Jackets to a much-needed 7-4 win over the Boston as they scrap to stay above the wild-card line in the Eastern Division with a dozen games left. “It wasn’t fun yesterday not feeling well and not being with the guys, so it was nice today to just get back out there,” said the 25-year-old Jenner, whose goal in the second period was the 100th of his career. Jenner, said Columbus coach John Tortorella, “gave us great life tonight.” Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 27 shots, and Josh Anderson and Zach PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ryan Shazier will be a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2019 as he continues his recovery from a spinal injury. The team tolled the linebacker’s contract for next season, meaning it will be carried over from 2018. Shazier did not play last season while recuperating from a spinal injury suffered in Cincinnati on Dec. 4, 2017. The deal allows Shazier to continue having medical coverage and gives him another season toward his league pension. The move keeps Shazier on Pittsburgh’s 90-man roster, though he eventually will be placed on the reserve/physically unable to perform list. The 26-year-old Shazier spent last season as a de facto coach and scout for Pittsburgh, reviewing film with teammates and mentoring inside linebackers Jon Bostic, Vince Williams and Tyler Matakevich. New history center exhibit tells story of sports in Ohio COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A new exhibit tells the story of Ohio sports and their role in shaping American athletic history. The exhibit, “Ohio-Champion of Sports,” relies on first-person accounts from athletes, coaches, team owners and fans. It opens at the Ohio History Connection museum in Columbus on Saturday and runs into 2020. The exhibit covers 25 sports including everything from baseball, football and basketball to roller derby, skateboarding and e-gaming. Burt Logan, the Ohio History Connection executive director, says the state’s contribution to national sports history is significant. He says the exhibit’s goal was to connect visitors directly with the stories of Ohio sports legends like boxer Buster Douglas, Cleveland Indians owner Paul Dolan and track star Stephanie Hightower.

The Bruins stayed in second place behind Tampa Bay in the Atlantic Division. Tuukka Rask had 19 saves on 24 shots before being replaced in the second period by Jaroslav Halak, who made nine more stops. Both teams scored short-handed goals in the first period. Ryan Dzingel’s goal in the first for Columbus was his career-high 23rd, and Matt Duchene scored in the second for the Blue Jackets. Chris Wagner got the other goal for Boston, pulling the Bruins within 5-3 before Marchand scored late in the second to make it a one-goal game. “Sooner or later you’re going to have a game where the other team is better than you, for a variety of different reasons,” Boston coach Bruce Cassidy said. “So I think that the fact that our guys had the will to come back is a good positive. I tend to be an optimist, but there’s a lot of things we need to do better. I’m a little disappointed in some of the players.” Columbus hosts Carolina on Friday.

Columbus scored five unanswered goals to go up 5-1 before the Bruins came roaring back with three straight in a wild second period to make it a one-goal game.

TVMA �SPORTS 8A Thursday, March 14, 2019 Browns acquire Beckham from NYG CLEVELAND (AP) — Odell Beckham Jr. is about to run a deep route out of New Jersey — straight to Cleveland. The superstar wide receiver is bound for the Browns to be a target for quarterback Baker Mayfield as the centerpiece of a blockbuster trade, two people familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Tuesday night. The Browns are sending first- and third-round picks this year along with safety Jabrill Peppers to the Giants for Beckham, one of the NFL’s top players, said the people who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because league rules prohibit teams from announcing trades until 4 p.m. Wednesday. The deal is conditional on both players passing physicals. With the Browns, Beckham will be reunited with receiver Jarvis Landry, a close friend and teammate at LSU. He’ll also give Mayfield an elite weapon, and his arrival could vault the Browns, who went 7-8-1 last season after not winning a game in 2017, into legitimate championship contenders. Rumors of a possible deal have swirled for weeks, with several Browns players teasing a major move by Cleveland general manager John Dorsey on social media. Dorsey pulled it off, bringing a major talent to accelerate his attempt to rebuild the Browns into consistent winners. Cleveland hasn’t been to the playoffs since 2002. The trade is the second major one involving a star wide receiver in four days as the Pittsburgh Steelers recently sent Antonio Brown to the Oakland Raiders. While Beckham is immensely talented, there is some baggage as he can be temperamental and difficult. He was suspended for one game for his on-field battles with Carolina cornerback Josh Norman. He also comes off two injury-plagued years. Before last season, he became the league’s highest-paid receiver with a five-year, $90 million contract exten- sion. He played five seasons in New York, making the Pro Bowl in his first three. He was the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2014. It’s the second trade completed in the past week by the Giants and Browns. Cleveland sent guard Kevin Zeitler to New York for edge rusher Olivier Vernon, who will now play on the opposite side of Pro Bowler Myles Garrett. The Giants had been reluctant to trade Beckham, with GM Dave Gettleman insisting over the past few months that the club did not sign him to the historic deal in late August to trade him. But the Browns were persistent and Dorsey, who has remolded the Browns since coming to Cleveland at the end of 2017, came up with a package the Giants simply couldn’t resist. And now new Browns coach Freddie Kitchens has another playmaker for Mayfield, the No. 1 overall pick last year who had a dazzling debut season in which he set the NFL record for touchdown passes by a rookie. Kitchens will have to try to keep Beckham in check, something Giants coach Pat Shurmur struggled to do. Early last season, with the Giants off to another bad start, Beckham seemed upset with his role in Shurmur’s new offense and said quarterback Eli Manning was not capable of throwing deep passes. Mayfield and Beckham are already tight; they spent part of last summer working out in California with Landry, who has been campaigning since he arrived in Cleveland for his former college teammate to join him. When news of the agreement broke, Mayfield posted a photo on Twitter of him shaking hands with Beckham. “Movement” was the caption. In the aftermath of Beckham’s shocking exit from New York, Browns wide receiver Breshad Perriman asked Cleveland to void his agreement on a one-year, $4 million contract. The Browns obliged and the sides mutually decided to cancel the deal struck earlier in the day. Get screened even if you have no family history of colorectal cancer.

According to a recent visual networking index forecast from Cisco, by 2021, there will be four networked devices and connections per person across the globe. Those figures are even greater in North America, where Cisco estimates each person will have 13 networked devices and connections by 2021. With all those devices, LW·V�QR�VXUSULVH�WKDW� a greater number of people are embracing the smart home movement.

According to SmartHomeUSA.com, the term “smart home” is commonly used to define residences in which appliances, lighting, heating and cooling units, televisions, computers, entertainment systems, and security systems are capable of communicating with one another. Each of these components can be controlled remotely, typically via a smartphone. Why is it smart to have a smart home? The benefits of a smart home are numerous, and will likely only multiply as people utilize more devices. ‡�7LPH� A recent joint survey from CNET and Coldwell Banker found that 57 percent of Americans say that smart home technology saves them an average of 30 minutes per day. 7KDW·V�DQ�HVSHFLDOO\� beneficial advantage for busy parents and/or professionals who find it difficult to juggle all of their daily responsibilities. ‡�0RQH\��Another benefit to smart homes is their cost savings. Because devices can be controlled remotely, smart home owners can adjust the temperatures on their heating and cooling units while away from home. That means they can arrive home each night to a comfortable home without having to run their HVAC systems all day while no one was home. In fact, the CNET/Coldwell Banker survey found 45 percent of Americans say that smart home products save them an average of $98.30 each month. ‡�,QYHVWPHQW� Whether \RX·UH�D�GHYHORSHU� or a single-family homeowner, real estate is an investment. Making a home as appealing to prospective buyers as possible is a great way to get a better return on your real estate investment. The CNET/ Coldwell Banker survey found that 81 percent of buyers would be more likely to buy a home if smart home products were already installed. That can make the market for your home more competitive, ultimately earning you more money at resale. Smart homes are both the present and the future. Homeowners who want to make their homes more livable today and more marketable tomorrow should consider investing in smart home products. Items to get you started on creating your smart home T echnology has changed the way people live in the 21st century. Once ubiquitous, land lines anchored to kitchen walls have now given way to smartphones that can be taken anywhere. Bulky television sets that required at least two people to move have been replaced with highdefinition offerings so light and thin they can be mounted on living room walls. Smart homes are a rapidly growing trend. In a typical smart home, devices such as the thermostat, television and even the refrigerator can be controlled remotely through the internet. ,W·V�QR�JUHDW�VXUSULVH� that technology also is changing the physical places we call home.

The home improvement website HomeAdvisor notes that cast iron is durable and solid and retains heat well, which is great for those who want to spend more than a little time relaxing in a freestanding tub. However, because cast iron is so heavy, installing a cast iron tub may require structural reinforcement of the flooring, which will add to the overall cost of the project.

National Geographic defines a water table as the boundary between water-saturated ground and unsaturated ground. Well beneath the ground, at various depths depending on geography, topography and weather conditions, pockets of water, called aquifers, exist. The water table marks the boundary between that available water and the dry surface. Ground water is impacted by precipitation, irrigation and ground cover. It also may be affected by land use and tides. The water table can fluctuate with the seasons and from year to year because it is affected by climatic variations, as well as how much water may be drawn from underground, advises Encyclopedia Britannica. The water table where one person lives may be several inches or feet below the surface of the ground and follow the topography of the land. For others, it may be much higher, even coming above the surface of the soil. The water table as well as local soil conditions and drainage can impact homes and their foundations. If soil drains efficiently and there is a relatively low water table, it may not be problematic. However, if soil is dense and absorbent and the water table is high, the ground around a home may swell and become saturated. This can exert significant pressure against the foundation walls, states Rytech, a water damage and mold rehabilitation company. C ustom-built decks can expand usable outdoor entertaining spaces. Decks can surround pools and create outdoor patio areas that make it easy to establish multitiered living spaces, improving the functionality of outdoor areas. In areas where a local water table rises near the surface, water can push against the underside of the foundation in a condition known as “hydrostatic pressure.” This may cause water to infiltrate through the bottom of the foundation — even permeating solid concrete over time. If hydrostatic pressure is severe, it could lift certain portions of the foundation out of the ground, but this is very unlikely. But it could cause shifting of foundation walls and structures like fencing and decks. Certain deck trends have emerged as industry H[SHUWV·�WRS�SLFNV�IRU�WKH� upcoming remodeling and renovation season. For those thinking of revamping an existing deck, or building an entirely new one, these trends are on point. Even if ground water does not cause foundation cracking or shifting, it could lead to humidity issues, resulting in rust, bacteria and mold. Wood structures in a home may be compromised by a high level of humidity. ‡�(VWDEOLVKHG� perimeters: “Picture framing” is not a new trend, but one that has taken greater hold in recent years. The term refers to aesthetically appealing designs that conceal the ends of deck boards for a clean finish. Some designs feature contrasting material colors on the ends for even more impact. This helps create refined perimeters for a polished look. The home improvement resource $QJLH·V�/LVW�VD\V�FHUWDLQ�VWHSV�PD\� need to be taken to protect against damage from a water table and abundant ground water. Basement and foundation waterproofing professionals can help homeowners develop a plan to mitigate water damage. This can include grading changes and the installation of drains and pumps to move water away from the house. Special paints and sealants also can protect the foundation. Ground water can be a hindrance when it affects the home, but homeowners who learn about it can be in a position to confront any ground water issues. Deck trends continue to improve on the form and function of outdoor living spaces. are incorporating rooftop decks into their designs, particularly in communities with water views or other impressive vistas.
