Bowen has a ready smile that lightsup her eyes. Ask how she likes her new

Stop by the Hudson Seniors and you quickly seewhy she loves her job and why Hudson seniorsare responding to her enthusiasm and caring.Shes just lots of fun, said Ruth Servant.

Bowen is already involved in her job and hasbeen working on the budget that will be presentedto selectmen. Although Hudson Senior Centeris still under construction, Bowen is working

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays at theCommunity Center where the seniors hold theiractivities. Dave has been guiding me thoughthe budgeting process and we will present toselectmen in the near future.

Yates said that she had been meeting people

and getting acquainted. She was the

unanimous choice of the selectioncommittee after interviews were done.We thought that her enthusiasm and up-beat personality would be just the righttouch for someone in this position.

Bowen, married to Keith Bowen,Assistant Principal at Hudson MemorialSchool, is mother to two elementaryschool girls, who attend NottinghamWest. She said that one of her personaldecisions was to learn to play all thegames that are currently enjoyed bythe seniors. We bought a Pokeno set,

and that card game has quickly become a familyfavorite, she smiled. Next may be Mah Jonggbecause that is a new activity at the seniors.

Already changes are being made with Hudsonseniors and based on the smiles, these changes arewelcome. There is a Tuesday morning Mah Jongggroup and while that group is currently small,they are already looking for four more interested

members to join in the play.The Tuesday morning coffee group that

formerly met at the Rec Center has moved tothe Community Center. Any Tuesday morningthat you are looking for a cup of hot coffee, adoughnut and some adult conversation often

laced with laughter, come to the Community

Center and join them. Weve been together fora number of years, said Don Wright, but arealways looking for new faces. Come have a cupof coffee and stay for a little while or all morning.We talk, laugh, and talk some more. This pastTuesday, John Lavoie, Ruth Savant, Don and

Prudence Wright were still having coffee when I

arrived. Sitting down with them, the conversationand laughs easily included all of us. All of themare looking forward to moving to the SeniorCenter when it opens. Well be able to couplea walk around Benson Park with our coffee anddoughnuts, smiled Don.

Water Supply Plays a Critical,Yet Often Overlooked Role in

Fighting FiresDuring Fire Prevention Week (October 6-12), Ijoin local water utilities throughout New Hampshirein reminding residents about the critical but otenoverlooked role that local water supplies and thesystems that deliver them play in fghting fres andprotecting public saety.

A properly unctioning, well-maintained watersystem delivers reliable supplies at a high pressure andvolume that can mean the dierence between a small,manageable fre and a destructive, raging inerno.

But water inrastructure - the pipes, distributionmains, wells, pumping equipment, and othercomponents invisible to the public eye - is aging andrapidly disintegrating.

Tis condition is especially prevalent in New Englandwhere a number o public water systems are more than100 years old.

o saeguard communities rom the ever-presentthreat o fre, local communities must invest inrehabilitating, improving, and replacing their water

inrastructure so that lie-saving water can owuninterrupted rom a source o supply, through anetwork o underground pipes, to the corner hydrant.

I also encourage local communities to support theNational Fire Protection Associations campaign toprevent fres in the kitchen, the leading area o originor home fres, by urging their residents to be morecautious and vigilant, especially when using the stove

(visit www.npa.org or more inormation).During Fire Prevention Week, water works

proessionals throughout New England applaud ourregions frefghters or their courageous, dedicated, and

seless public service.For more inormation on the value o water, visit

Motorcycle Rage - It DoesHappen in Our Area

When I read the news reports on the motorcycle ragein New York City this past uesday, I immediately had aash-back to a very similar incident I had on the Everetturnpike our years ago; so it does h appen right here inour community.

I was traveling south on the turnpike rom Exit 5 toExit 4, around 4 p.m., and had just changed lanes to the

o ramp lane to Exit 4, and while then in the o-ramplane, a group o seven motorcycles that were behindme; suddenly were on both sides o me. Tree o themotorcycles were actually riding along side o me in thebreakdown lane, between the guardrail and the edge othe breakdown lane; while one o them got ahead o meand the other three continued to ride on my let side.

Tey all looked directly at me, as i to taunt me,

slowed down, orcing me to slow down and by thenwe were all at the approach to the o-ramp. I rolledthe window down and shouted at them about howdangerous it was what they had done, it was illegal and

I wrote down most o the license numbers as we satthere just beore the tra c light at the top o the ramp.One o the riders got o his motorcycle, ran over to mywindow, because he saw me writing the license numbersdown and just as he reached into my window to grabmy notepad; I quickly put the window up. I shoutedthrough the window that I was on my way to the PoliceDepartment o Exit 5 and he slammed his fst downon the roo o my car and ran o to get back on hismotorcycle. Tey all then made an illegal right turn ona red light, onto Dunstable Road at high speed.

I did go immediately to fle a complaint with theNashua Police, giving them all o the license numbers,and was assured they would act on my complaint; butater more than three weeks o no eedback rom theNashua Police I went in to ask about that incident andwas given a response that the motorcycle owners said Iwas driving erratically and orced three o them o theroad. Te o cer said they would take urther actioni I had a witness, against the seven o them; so you seewhat can happen when these gangs o motorcycle riders

pick out a vehicle with only one person in it. Tis kindo dangerous behavior by these gangs o motorcycleriders, happens so suddenly, your frst reaction is theear o what are they trying to do to me and why; whichis exactly what happened to the amily in New YorkCity; then they take o at high speed, hoping not to beound. Be very cautious about this happening to youand do not open the doors or windows to your vehicle;

and now I know to blow the horn to alert other driversto what is happening to you so you have help andwitnesses.

Learn About Smoke Alarmssubmitted by Litchfeld Fire Rescue

A properly installed and maintained smoke alarm is the only thing in your homethat can alert you and your family to a re 24 hours a day, seven days a week.Whether youre awake or asleep, a working smoke alarm is constantly on alert,scanning the air for re and smoke.

According to the National Fire Protection Association, almost two-thirds of homere deaths resulted from res in properties without working smoke alarms. A workingsmoke alarm signicantly increases your chances of surviving a deadly home re.

What powers a smoke alarm?Smoke alarms are powered by battery or they are hardwired into the homes

electrical system. If the smoke alarm is powered by battery, it runs on either adisposable 9-volt battery or a non-replaceable 10-year lithium (long-life) battery. A

backup battery is usually present on hardwired alarms and may need to be replaced.These batteries must be tested on a regular basis and, in most cases, should be

replaced at least once each year (except for lithium batteries). See the Smoke AlarmMaintenance section for more information.

Install smoke alarms in key areas of your homeInstall smoke alarms on every level of your home, including the basement. Many

fatal res begin late at night or early in the morning, so the U.S. Fire Administrationrecommends installing smoke alarms both inside and outside of sleeping areas.

Since smoke and many deadly gases rise, installing your smoke alarms at theproper level will provide you with the earliest warning possible. Always follow themanufacturers installation instructions.

Some re departments will install battery-operated smoke alarms in your home atno cost. Contact your local re departments non-emergency phone number for moreinformation.

Hardwired smoke alarms should be installed by a qualied electrician.Smoke alarm maintenance:Smoke alarm powered by a 9-volt battery Test the alarm monthly. Replace the batteries at least once per year. The entire smoke alarm unit should be replaced every 8-10 years.Smoke alarm powered by a 10-year lithium (or long life) battery

Test the alarm monthly. Since you cannot (and should not) replace the lithium battery, the entire smoke

alarm unit should be replaced according to manufacturers instructions.Smoke alarm that is hardwired into the homes electrical system Test the alarm monthly. The backup battery should be replaced at least once per year. The entire smoke alarm unit should be replaced every 8-10 years.

Bowen is already keeping a book of

wishes. People are suggesting newactivities and Im putting them into my bookof wishes. Prudence, who comes for coffeeon Tuesdays, would like dance lessons. Iremember when my mother asked me ifI wanted to learn piano and I said no, Iwanted dance lessons, she said. Finallyafter she graduated from high school andbegan working for the telephone company,she also enrolled at Arthur Murrays DanceStudio and nally got those dance lessons.Today she enjoys dancing as a great form ofexercise, which works all the body as wellas helps increase overall balance. Dancelessons may be in the future for Hudsonseniors.

Bowen is already planning for the future.Shes been over the plans for the seniorcenter and is thinking about how to organizethe spaces and how to utilize them to offer aplethora of activities so that Hudson seniors

will nd something that they enjoy.We like the adult conversation at the

Tuesday coffee, said Prudence Wright, butwe also love the laughter.

Already some of the seniors spoke aboutbecoming friends with people they met atduring senior activities and how they havestarted doing things together outside oforganized senior events. Bowen hopes toexpand those opportunities by expandingthe types of programming available.

In addition to working directly withHudson seniors, Bowen will have a full plate

as she fullls all the aspects of her new job.She will be responsible for coordinatingprograms of other government, charitable,and religious organizations to promote cost-effective services to the senior population,and avoid duplication.

We want her to be able to researchand write grants for funding that may be

available for senior programs, activities,and equipment such as a mini-bus fortransportation, heart debrillator, etc., saidYates and we also want her to be able toprepare public information materials dealingwith senior issues for our residents.

In addition to working on budgets forthe seniors, Bowen will be called up toparticipate in discussions with communityleaders and other interested parties topromote the objectives of Senior Servicesprograms and seniors as well as torecommend any needed changes in town

policy to promote the interests of seniors.Im just looking forward to all aspects

of my job and am happy to be workingwith such great people, said Bowen, whourges one and all to stop by the communitycenter for coffee, to play cards, eat lunch orperhaps join the group that plays bingo onThursdays. We all bring a brown bag lunch

on Tuesdays and eat together. However,on Wednesday and Thursday, St. Joe SeniorServices serves lunch. We just ask peopleto sign up a week in advance if they want toattend.

So, if you are 50 or older, stop bythe community center Tuesday throughThursday, meet Bowen and check out theactivities. If you arrive on Wednesdaymorning, be prepared to join an aerobics orline dancing group.

Card games are enjoyed by members. Pictured rom right to let, around the table areCharlene Provencal, Helen McQueeney, Dot Jacobs, Mary Arsenault, Lori Bowen,

Can We Find Youin an Emergency?

submitted by Litchfeld Fire RescueIn an emergency, police, re and rescue workers depend on house numbers to

nd you as quickly as possible. Finding your home - especially at night - can bechallenging if address numbers are unreadable, hidden, unlighted or have missingnumbers and may delay emergency responders from getting to you as quickly aspossible.

Are your house numbers visible from the street? Are they set on a backgroundof contrasting color? If your house is hidden from the street, are your numbersattached to a visible fence, mailbox or gate? Is your mobile home identied withyour house number? If you live on a corner, does your house number face the street

named in your address?If youve answered no to any of these questions, please follow the guidelines

below to make sure your house number is easy to read:1. Numbers must be visible from the street. Existing residential home numbering

should be at least 4 inches high.2. Numbers should be placed on a contrasting background, with a reective coating

on the numbers for easy visibility at night.3. Repair or replace aging address number placards, especially on mailboxes that

are a distance from the front of the residence.4. Prune any bushes, tree limbs or other growth that has covered your house

numbers.5. Numbers should be placed on or beside the front door. If your door is not easily

seen from the street, put the numbers on a post, fence or tree at the drivewayentrance so they can be clearly seen from the street. In addition to numbers onthe front door of your house, if you have a rural-style mailbox, reective andcontrasting numbers should be placed on both sides of the box so they can beseen by an emergency vehicle approaching from either direction.

As the oliage begins to change in our towns, Musquash Conservation Area is bright with the signs o all. Show us some o your color - send your best oliageshots to the Hudson~Litchfeld News at [email protected]. I yours is deemed the most colorul we will send you a $25 T-Bones git certifcate.

Top DIY Home Winterization Projects(BPT) - As the months pass and the end of the

calendar year approaches, its time to update yourdo-it-yourself list. Several home winterization proj-ects will help keep your home in good repair comespring.

While some projects should be left for the experts- like cleaning out the chimney - there are severalmost homeowners can accomplish themselves.These projects are easy to tackle, and the end resultwill make a huge difference to your home all winterlong and into the spring months.

* Flushing gutters - Leaves and small treebranches often fall onto the roof of your home dur-ing the summer months, and then wash into the gut-ters when it rains. Sometimes theyll ush out, butother times this debris can build up, and preventthe water from draining down the gutter pipe. Inwinter, this water can back up and freeze, caus-ing an ice dam, which can then damage the roofshingles, and cause leaks into the home and garagewhen it rains. Be sure to ush the gutters clean, andif youve noticed icicles in certain areas in the past,consider installing a heating cable to help keep thewater melted and moving down the gutter and intothe yard.

* Sealing concrete cracks - When water gets intocracks in your sidewalk or driveway and freezes,it can expand, creating a much larger crack comespring. Over time, large cracks will eventuallyturn into damaged concrete, requiring completereplacement. Tiny cracks that appear shortly afterthe concrete is poured are not a prob lem, but thosethat appear over time and continue to grow are

good candidates for repair. There are a variety ofpatching materials from Sakrete that can be usedto repair cracks.-Small narrow cracks can be lledwith latex, polyurethane or other products typicallyfound in caulk type tubes or plastic squeeze bottles.They have the advantage of not requiring mixingand being applied directly into the crack.-SakreteTop n Bond is a much more versatile product thatcan be used to repair any cracks ranging anywherefrom extremely ne to several inches across. Inaddition, Top n Bond is a portland cement-basedproduct just like the concrete slab.-This allows fora better blending of the both the existing slab andthe repair material. Should the need or desire tocompletely resurface the slab arise in the future,the Top n Bond will easily bond to the surface for alike new surface.

* Repairing potholes - Any missed cracks in pastyears with asphalt driveways probably have become

potholes by now thanks to the freezing and thawingof water during the winter month. But you dontneed to replace the entire driveway to take care ofthese problems. Sakrete U.S. Cold Patch is a strongpatch product made from 95 percent recycled ma-terials with no odor or mess. Just sweep the area inand around your pothole, pour in the patching mix-ture, and roll over the area with a car tire, allowingyou to use the driveway immediately. Make certainthe entire hole is completely lled and tampeddown to prevent water from seeping into the patch.Because U.S. Cold Patch doesnt contain solventsand raw asphalt, there is no danger of tracking thematerial into the house or garage.

* Extra insulation against heat loss - Coldertemperatures affect pipes, doorways and windows.Protect pipes from freezing by wrapping any pipesexposed to the cold with pipe insulation. Alsocheck your doors and windows for leaks or gaps.Find gaps by lighting a candle and holding theame near the closed window and door seams. Ifthe ame ickers, air is moving through the seamwhere there is a gap. Fill those gaps with caulk orweather stripping to form a better barrier against thecold.

These home DIY projects dont take a lot of timeto accomplish, and will benet your home andproperty during the winter months and as spring ar-rives. Be sure to put them on your home winteriza-tion to-do list each fall, so you can enjoy the winterin comfort.

Autumn Edibles:Tips for Fall Gardening and Second Plantings

(BPT) - People choose to garden for many rea-sons: Food is fresher and tastes better. Its a healthyhobby that exercises the body. It saves money.Numerous reports show an increasing number ofhomeowners are growing their own fruits, vegeta-bles and herbs.

As temperatures cool,-you may think gardeningseason is over. The good news is with a few strategictips, you can keep your green thumb going andenjoy a plethora of autumn edibles for months tocome. -Step 1: Select second plantings

Second plantings are the plants you use for thelatter part of the gardening season. Late summer istypically the best time to plant these varieties. Callyour local extension ofces or access information

online to nd regionalized planting schedules andrecommended plant varieties.The length of the fall

season and when the rst

frost will likely hit are important considerationswhen selecting second plantings. Keep in mind thatfast-maturing vegetables are ideal for fall gardeningand they should be planted early enough to reachmaturity before the rst frost arrives.

Popular second plantings that yield a deliciouslate fall/early winter harvest include broccoli,lettuce, turnips, collards, carrots, peas, radish, spin-ach, leeks and beets. Some people even claim rootvegetables and cole crops like kale and turnips tastebetter after the rst frost.Step 2: Prepare your garden space

If you plan to use your current garden space forsecond plantings, remove the early-season plantsthat are done producing. Add those plants to yourcurrent compost bin or create a new compost pile

with easy-to-use, stylish options from OutdoorEssentials. Wood-slate bins blend well with theoutdoor aesthetic and the design allows oxygen tocirculate and facilitate the composting process.

Next,prepareyour gardenspace.Elevatedgarden bedsare growingin popular-ity becausethey lookgreat any-where inyour yardor on yourpatio, andare easy

to move ifnecessary.Raised garden beds from Outdoor Essentials elevatethe plants so gardeners dont have to bend over andrisk injury. They are ideal for fall because gardenerscan regulate the temperature of raised beds withease. On hot days, move or add a shade netting toprotect plants from the heat; when frost is a threat,cover the entire bed for protection.

While youre getting your hands dirty, fall is theperfect time to plant spring owering bulbs. A littleoutdoor work now and youll be rewarded withbeautiful owers when spring arrives next year.Step 3: Enjoy the harvest

Tend your garden daily for the best results - itmay just need a quick check for pests and propersoil moisture. Typical benets of late-season gar-dening include fewer bothersome bugs and the soil

has better water retention.As plants grow, pick the fruits

and vegetables and enjoy Mother

Natures bounty. If your plantsbecome crowded, pluck a fewout to help remaining plants growroots and increase the harvestyield. You may be surprised justhow many cool months yourplants provide you with fresh,delicious produce.

Fall is a great opportunity tokeep gardening momentum alive.So get started and decide whatsecond plantings are best for yourspace. In as little as 30 days youcould be eating the freshest, mostavorful vegetables youve everhad, all while under the gorgeousautumn sun.

Cozy Up to EnergySavings with Insulation

(BPT) - With temperatures dropping, oddsare your energy bills will be doing just theopposite. In fact, heating (and cooling) ac-count for approximately 54 percent of theenergy use in a typical U.S. home, accordingto the Department of Energy, representingthe largest energy expense for most hom-eowners. One of the most effective waysto manage a homes climate, comfort andenergy costs is by ensuring that it is properly

insulated.Insufcient insulation, particularly in

basements and attics, can allow heat toescape, resulting in higher energy bills anda less comfortable indoor environment,says Don Kosanka, product program directorfor Owens Corning. The great thing aboutinsulation is that it is an investment thatreturns itself. Its something that homeown-ers can install themselves and it providesyear-round benets. Not only does insulationkeep homes warmer in winter and cooler insummer, it delivers energy and cost savingsall year long.

In fact, sealing and insulating - when doneby a knowledgeable homeowner or skilledcontractor - can help save up to $200 a yearin heating and cooling costs, according tothe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA). In addition to cost savings, the expertsat Owens Corning outline three other keybenets of insulating your home:

Energy efficiency - The primary purpose ofinsulation is to control heat ow in a hometo save energy on heating and cooling. Its es-timated that homeowners can typically save

up to 20 percent of heating and cooling costsby air sealing the home and adding insula-tion. For optimal energy efciency, a homeshould be insulated from the roof down to itsfoundation. Information about specic areasto insulate in a home is available at www.energy.gov and www.owenscorning.com.

Environmental impact - The energy savedby insulating a home also benets the envi-ronment, but it is important to note that not

all insulation products have equal environ-mental impacts. Look for products madefrom recycled materials, such as OwensCornings EcoTouch(R) PINK(R) Fiberglas(TM)Insulation with PureFiber(R) Technology.

Enjoyment - Simply put, a well-insulatedhome is a more comfortable home. Insula-tion provides a protective barrier betweenthe conditioned areas of a home and theoutside elements helping to control moistureand temperature. Additionally, berglassinsulation acts as a sound absorber, reducingthe transmission of sound from one room toanother or from the outside.

An added incentive for homeowners toimprove their homes insulation this year isthe 2013 Federal Tax Credit for ConsumerEnergy Efciency. Those who install qualify-ing insulation products before Dec. 31, canreceive a tax credit of 10 percent of the cost,up to $500.

For more information on projects, visitwww.owenscorning.com. The site also pro-vides access to a list of insulation productsthat qualify for the 2013 Federal Tax Creditalong with the certication statement form.

Tips to Ensure YourShower Upgrade DoesntTurn into a Leaky Mess

(BPT) - Bathrooms arecertainly among the busiestrooms in any home. But abathroom can be so muchmore than just the place

where you get ready dur-ing your hurried morningroutine. One of the hottesttrends in home decoratingand remodeling is creatinga bathroom that serves as aspa-like retreat.

Soothing colors and natu-ral materials are right ontrend, but if you really wantyour bathroom to be anoasis of calm, it also needsto be low-maintenance. Ifyoure worried about yourbeautiful new shower leak-ing, its hard to enjoy theexperience. Instead, start bytaking steps that ensure youdont have to worry aboutleaks and the damage theycause.

Whether youre a DIY expert or hiring the job outto a professional, its important to carefully reviewthe plans for a new shower. If youre bringing acontractor on for the job, ask what kind of materialsand practices theyll be using to ensure that theyrenot cutting corners. If youre up for a do-it-yourself

job, carefully consider the materials youll use -look for options that make your job easier but dontskimp on quality. For instance, the new Shower Sys-tem from USG is designed to streamline installationwithout compromising on performance.

Keep these tips in mind to ensure that yourshower is as durable and leak-proof as possible:

* The shower tray: Having the right base in yourshower makes all the difference. Theres a percep-tion that the best way to ensure a leak-proof baseis an expensive and labor intensive mortar bed. But

there are solutions that cancut down on cost and labor.The pre-sloped, high-density,molded-foam shower trayin USGs DUROCK Shower

System, for instance, has a 2percent slope that makes iteasily compatible with a widearray of tile shapes and sizes,offering comfortable ooringand simplicity of installation.

* Waterproof membranes:No matter how beautiful yourtile, its whats underneaththat counts. Using a water-proof membrane ensures farbetter performance long term.A strong (tear-proof) and thinwaterproof membrane overa durable backerboard, suchas DUROCK cement boardensures that your shower stayswaterproof, even beyondwhat your eye can see.

* The drain: A securely t-ted drain will help keep water

owing where its supposed to go. If youre install-ing a shower system, consider using the properdrain assembly that goes along with it. Systems likethe USG DUROCK Shower System offer a versatiledrain assembly and wide range of drain grates in 52designs and nishes. Elegant and functional gratesintegrate with shower systems but still allow hom-eowners to choose the style thats right for them.Keep in mind that grate height might need to beadjusted to match tile thickness and the DUROCKShower System offers maximum exibility.

A carefully constructed shower will hold its beau-ty for a long time. And that means your bathroomwill remain a retreat where you can think aboutrelaxing instead of repairing. For more informationabout waterproof shower installations, visit www.durockshowersystem.com.

Winter Home Safety:Quick Steps to Help Protect Your Family

(BPT) - As cooler weather descends, homes heat up andso does the risk your family could experience a home reor carbon monoxide (CO) po isoning. According to the Na-tional Fire Protection Association, most home res and CO

poisonings occur in the winter. Besides heating appliances,seasonal activities such as increased cooking, candle usageand holiday decorations all add to the risk. In fact, the U.S.Fire Administration reports that each year winter res claiman average of 945 lives, injure 3,825 people and causemore than $1.7 billion in property loss.

To help keep your home worry free from re and COthis winter, the experts at Kidde Fire Safety have developeda quick check list. Answer these questions to customizeyour winter home improvement projects with tasks thatsave money, reduce a common household annoyance andincrease safety.

One in four older homes needs to update re safetyequipment. How old are your alarms?

* Replace smoke alarms every 10 years and CO alarmsevery ve to 10 years, based on the alarm model.

* Purchase an alarm with a 10-year sealed lithium bat-tery, such as Kidde Worry-Free smoke and CO alarms, toreceive hassle-free protection for a decade -- no need tochange a battery or hear a low-battery chirp. Available atretailers nationwide, with each alarm installed saving you

$40 over its life in battery costs.Seventy-ve percent of homeowners dont know where

to install smoke alarms. Do you have enough?* Fire experts recommend placing smoke alarms on ev-

ery oor and inside/outside all bedrooms.Choose alarms with room-specic fea-tures, such as an LED light in the hallway,or a voice notication for the bedroom.

* Place a CO alarm near sleeping areasand on each oor. Keep them 10 feet awayfrom fuel-burning appliances.

Do your alarms incorporate the newest features andtechnology?

* A sealed-in 10-year lithium battery not only continu-ously powers the alarm, its also tamper-proof and cant be

removed.* A digital display shows the level of CO in the air andupdates the reading every 15 seconds.

*An intelligent multi-sensor responds faster to real resand CO, while reducing nuisance alarms like those com-monly caused by cooking.

*An end-of-life appliance warning lets you know whento replace your alarms.Do you need other safety products?

* Fire extinguisher - place one within reach in roomswhere res often begin: kitchen, garage, bedroom, livingarea

* Escape ladder - place in second- and third-oor roomsas an alternative escape routeHave you developed a family escape plan?

*Create a plan and practice regularly. Know two waysout of every room and who will assist children and lovedones with mobility/health issues.Do your children know their address and how to dial 911?

* Post your home address and emergency phone num-bers on the refrigerator.

Are your appliances and chimney winter-ready?* Have a professional inspect fuel-burning appliances to

ensure they function properly and that they vent outside.* Have a professional clean or inspect replaces annu-

ally. Birds and small animals can cause leaves to build upon top of the chimney, preventing carbon monoxide fromventing properly.

* Create a 3-foot clutter free zone around replaces,space heaters or wood stoves.

Home Renovation for Baby Boomers:Preparing for the Next Stage in Life

(BPT) - Lived in your home for years?Love your neighborhood? The thought ofmoving away from your homes comfort,warmth and memories can be unsettling.Instead of moving out, consider updatingand remodeling your home to accommo-date your future needs.

Eight-nine percent of Americans 55 andolder have embraced this aging-in-placetrend, and hope to remain in their ownhomes for the long-term, according to the

National Association of Home Builders(NAHB).As Americans strive to maintain

their independence and stay in theirown homes longer, many take on homeimprovements projects to reduce mainte-nance while improving accessibility and energy efciency, says Pella Windows& Doors spokesperson Kathy Krafka Harkema. As they stretch budgets and pre-pare for retirement, todays savvy homeowners plan home renovation projectswith comfort, convenience and ease of maintenance in mind.

Consider remodeling projects to help enjoy your home longer, more safelyand efciently as you age.Home improvement for the long-term

Most homeowners realize the importance of upkeep and maintenance. Aleaky window or drafty door wastes energy and can drive up utility costs.

To help save energy and money year-round, conduct a home improvementcheckup by looking for signs that its time for potential repairs.

* Check major systems that help protect the outside of your home - the roof,gutters, siding and exterior nish.

* Inspect interior components like heating, cooling, chimney and electricalsystems.

* Make sure enough attic insulation is in place to help prevent ice dams.* Look for signs of deterioration, damage or potential problems. Replace or

repair worn or broken items before they can lead to more extensive or expensiverepairs.

* Check your homes windows and doors. Are there drafts, chips or breaks inthe nish, condensation or fogging between panes of glass, or are they hard toopen? Any of these signs can mean its time for replacement.

* Position storage areas, like shelves, for easy access.* Raise appliances, like washers, dryers, dishwashers and stoves, to minimize

bending and lifting.* Replace old appliances and xtures with more energy-efcient options,

like ENERGY STAR-qualied Pella 350 Series vinyl windows and patio doors, to help save on futureutility bills.

* Determine whether your home will be ready for your next stage in life byreviewing the AARP home livability checklist.Window replacement adds light, convenience

As we become older, our eyes require more light to see. Choose ENERGYSTAR-qualied lighting for energy-efcient options. Adding additional windows,or increasing the size of existing window openings can also increase the amountof natural light in a home.

Replacing heavy curtains and drapes with more sheer options will also allowprivacy, without sacricing natural light.Cut the dust

Pella Designer Series windows and doors offer convenient, custom made,between-the-glass options like blinds and shades. Between-the-glass windowfashions dont collect dust like traditional room side window treatments, making

them a low-maintenance, easy-to-care-for option. P lus, since theyre betweenglass, theyre a perfect t and a safer option for homes with children or pets,since there are no room-side cords.

Replacing old, hard-to-open windows with new windows and screens makesit easier to open windows to enjoy fresh air. Pella offers easy-to-operate win-dows in energy-efcient vinyl, wood or berglass options in colors, sizes andstyles to suit your remodeling and replacement needs.
