Greg Dohler/The Gazette Hyattsville resident Bart Lawrence, a member of the Parent Teacher Association at Hyattsville Elementary School, organizes books in the school's library Saturday as part of a volunteer effort to make improvements to the school.

In the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet program Maurice Morris takes part in at Northwestern High School in Hyattsville, he is used to taking orders. But Saturday he had a new task that also required skill and focus: sanitizing and power washing cafeteria tables at Hyattsville Elementary School.

Morris, 15, was one of 210 volunteers — which included members of the Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps and Navy, and parents and other community members — who put new mulch in the playground, painted the staff lounge, painted hallways, sanitized the kindergarten to second-grade classrooms, sanitized the cafeteria tables and reorganized the library.

?I wanted to come back because it?s good to see where you came from,? said Morris, a freshman at Northwestern and former Hyattsville Elementary student. ?It?s been a pretty good experience doing whatever we can to help others.?

Hyattsville Elementary Principal Jeanne Washburn said she was concerned that there would be a low turnout for the cleanup with meteorologists predicting snow and sleet Friday evening into Saturday morning.

?It?s all the things you want to do, but just don?t have enough time to,? Washburn said of the cleanup tasks. ?This has been a blessing to the Hyattsville community and the children of our school.?

As this year marks Hyattsville Elementary?s 95th anniversary, the service branches thought their efforts could provide an internal ?facelift? for the school, said Olivia Hunter with the Naval District Washington Regional Community Service Program. Last year, the joint services group cleaned up Rosa L. Parks Elementary School in Hyattsville. Saturday was the first service outreach at Hyattsville Elementary.

?Just like when you?re celebrating your 50th birthday, you want to do something special, we thought this provided us a good opportunity to do a special job for them,? Hunter said.

Colleen Aistis, the city of Hyattsville?s volunteer coordinator, helped arrange the event in conjunction with military coordinators.

?We?ve partnered with them for the past four or five years on projects throughout the city ... . I knew this would be a good fit,? Aistis said.

The Prince George?s County school system paid for painting supplies, and the city covered cleaning supply costs, Washburn said. The county school system?s maintenance staff helped prepare the building by priming walls for painting and installing new sinks, Washburn said.

Although she didn?t initially recognize Morris, Washburn said upon hearing his name, she was filled with pride.

?I?m so happy to see him today and proud of what he?s doing,? Washburn said.

Although the cleanup was scheduled for four hours, with nearly 90 minutes left, school officials had run out of tasks for volunteers.

?It was amazing to see a wall of people gathering here and willing to help our school,? said Bart Lawrence, the school?s PTA president.

Lawrence said one of the most significant efforts was done at the library where volunteers not only sanitized shelves but also put books in the correct location on the shelves — a task frequently left to parent volunteers.

?Our librarian, Linda Bradley, is here two days a week, and she handles the important things like working with the students so organizing the books and putting them on the shelves is secondary,? Lawrence said. ?It?s a well-used library, so this is a great thing for our students and Ms. Bradley.?

Hyattsville resident Christine Williams, helping to clean the library with her second-grade daughter, Ella, said with constant school budget cuts, volunteer efforts are essential.

?To have this as a resource for the kids is really important,? Williams said. ?They get to have a fresh coat of paint to the school walls to make it look better and to make them feel better about coming to school.?

GLASS RECYCLED – the Texas based firm that manufactures hard-surface materials for countertops and flooring for a variety of commercial and residential applications – announces their new simplified pricing program for 2012.

Plano, TX (PRWEB) February 08, 2012

GLASS RECYCLED – the Texas based firm that manufactures hard-surface materials for countertops and flooring for a variety of commercial and residential applications – announces their new simplified pricing program for 2012.

According to Tim Whaley, inventor of the GLASS RECYCLED process of recycling and transforming discarded glass and porcelain into beautiful, sustainable applications, “Since we have added literally hundreds of new color combinations to our product offerings, we decided to simplify the pricing process to make it even easier to specify our products for countertops, flooring and custom specialty decor uses. By streamlining pricing, designers and architects can now rely on one simple price per square foot regardless of the color or size combination specified.”

This simplified pricing program is available on products offered under the GLASS RECYCLED umbrella. The company’s major premise is taking unused glass and porcelain products of all shapes, sizes and colors and combining them in a unique epoxy system to create a granite-like product that has the added benefit of total customization in both color choices and final use. Like granite and other terrazzo-like materials, GLASS RECYCLED products are extremely durable and sophisticated but offer the added benefits of unlimited size and color combinations.

Hundreds of clients have already enjoyed the benefits of this sustainable product in major commercial and residential uses including flooring, wall panels, bars and countertops, bathrooms and landscape accents, as well as one-of-a-kind decorator touches including art-like murals and company logo uses.

GLASS RECYCLED has created four sub-brands including GlassSLAB - a stunning product suitable for kitchen countertops, bathrooms and other countertop applications in a variety of sizes, GlassPLANK - the company’s unique flooring and wall panel products that can be installed with seams as little as 1/64” and available in a variety of sizes and thickness, GlassDECOR - uniquely designed interior products that include recycled glass table tops, glass panels, ceiling tiles and other imaginable applications and GlassSCAPE – a recycled glass landscaping material, which is loose, bagged recycled glass and porcelain aggregate product that can be used as a permanent and beautiful alternative to groundcover, mulch or used in fountain and aquariums.

GLASS RECYCLED recently unveiled their exclusive Designer Showcase online. Hundreds of color combinations can be viewed, or one can create their own combination and the company will produce a sample to view before ordering. With the company’s new streamlined pricing structure, a simple calculation is all that is needed to finalize budgets to include this cutting edge product.

GLASS RECYCLED Announces Their New Simplified Pricing Program

Beltsville, Maryland (PRWEB) February 08, 2012

My Home Granite started planning the construction of their online portfolio of residential granite countertops in Maryland and other areas they serve last fall, and has finally made it live on their recently launched website.

Ideas don’t come easy to a human being when they are constantly under different types of stress. “It is very difficult to think outside of the box when you are constantly worried about things that demand your full attention, such as the kids, work, groceries, cooking etc., so in turn it is very difficult to get your creative juices flowing; well, we’ve tried to simplify this by providing our clients with endless options for their redesign projects, such as their kitchen, bathroom, bar top etc.” says president of My Home Granite.

Natural stone has now taken a different turn over the past decade. Granite countertops were once one of the most popular applications of granite and natural stone, but due to its popularity and automation of the industry which has helped to bring overall costs down, people are getting much more creative with what they can use granite for. We now find people doing shower surrounds, fireplace surrounds, bar top areas, laundry rooms, shelves, dinning and coffee tables and hundreds of other applications which are all human created.

“We wanted a place on our site to provide our clients with different ideas and options for their granite countertops, and I think we’ve accomplished that” says Joe – sales and marketing vice president.

My Home Granite is a leading granite countertop fabricator located in Beltsville Maryland. They have been around since 1997 and specialize in natural stone surfaces. You can visit their website or contact them at (240) 607-6470.

Granite Countertops Maryland Launches Residential Gallery

LARGO — Nadine Piazza's home life may have been a little unusual, thanks to her father's penchant for collecting military items.

She remembers as a teenager sneaking out to the garage and taking her dad's vintage World War II jeep for a spin.

She also recalls "always having a lot of artillery in the den,'' she said.

Until, that is, a fire destroyed the family home in 1980.

"The fire was caused by something electric, but because of the artillery exploding, (the firefighters) were concerned about getting into the house. It burned to the ground,'' she said.

After the fire, her father, John Piazza Sr., began storing his military collectibles in a warehouse off Ulmerton Road. It grew so much that in 2008 he turned the warehouse into the Armed Forces Military Museum.

Last Wednesday Piazza, 73, and Nadine, 41, who serves as the museum's director of operations, announced they were dropping the word "Military" from the facility's name and changing it to the Armed Forces History Museum.

"We have decided to give the museum a new name, with emphasis on history, to help us expand education and outreach programs in the community,'' Piazza said.

"It is a major issue out there that our children are not educated about what's gone on after the Civil War," he said. "I have spoken to children from (elementary age) through 12th grade and even ROTC students, and so many have no idea of what has gone on with Hitler, Pearl Harbor, Vietnam, and we believe this will help us continue making inroads.''

At a press conference announcing the new name, Piazza also put to rest talk about moving the museum to the Harborview Center in downtown Clearwater. He said he has decided not to pursue a lease there due to "horrendous repairs we'd have to make.''

But the current location, at the end of 34th Way N, is far from ideal.

"We believe it would enhance the museum to have a more visible space. We will absolutely keep a new site on the front burner,'' he said.

Piazza, who served five years in the Marine Corps Reserves, first realized his interest in military memorabilia more than 58 years ago, after a former girlfriend's father gave him a World War I German mortar/grenade as a gift.

His collection now includes a green service uniform worn by Saddam Hussein, found outside a palace by an Army sergeant in 2003, as well as 100,000 other items, including weapons, from bows and arrows to sticky bombs and flamethrowers; uniforms, from Korean War fatigues to camouflage sniper suits, and vehicles, like Patton tanks.

His museum gets funds to operate from admission fees, memberships and donations. More than 100,000 visitors have walked through the door in the past 3 1/2 years.

With each passing year, the museum receives more attention, both from additions to the collection and the people who visit.

• In September 2010, the family of Marine Corps 1st Lt. Baldomero Lopez, a Korean War hero and Tampa native who received the Medal of Honor posthumously for his work protecting his troops in Incheon, donated his uniforms and personal correspondence.

• In January 2011, a private donor gave the museum a Russian MiG-21, a supersonic fighter jet displayed near the front of the facility.

• On July 5, 2011, Gov. Rick Scott chose the museum as his venue for a press conference to sign pieces of legislation to benefit active military, veterans and military families.

However, it is clear that the museum's lack of visibility, as well as lack of auditorium space, presents challenges, according to Nadine. The family, which includes Piazza's wife, Rosemary, and six other adult children, would consider moving the museum to a nearby city.

"All of Tampa Bay is near and dear to our heart,'' she said. "We are open to any option and any partnership.''

Teresa Brydon, economic development manager for the city of Largo, hopes the museum will stay put.

"The city wants the museum to stay in Largo. We'll help them in any way we can,'' Brydon said. "We'll help them network to organizations and businesses that can provide support and more exposure. We'd also provide assistance in locating a different building in Largo that best suits their needs.

"Whatever we can do, we'll do,'' she said.

Piper Castillo can be reached at (727) 445-4163 or pcastillo@tampabay.com.

EDWARDSVILLE - A family fled for their lives early Thursday morning as a suspected electrical fire swept through their rural Edwardsville home, killing two dogs.

The family of Tom and Denise Wieseman lost their home and most of their belongings when an apparent garage spark led to a blaze at the house at 5502 North Hazel Road, an area north of Illinois Route 157, about midway between Edwardsville and Hamel. The fire was reported just after 5 a.m.

"We lost everything," Tom Wieseman said later Thursday morning as he combed through the remains, looking for tools and other items he might salvage.

The house was somewhat historic, Tom Wieseman said, noting that it started as a Sears house before several additions were built.

Wieseman, 50, an operating engineer, said he bought the house and has put a lot of work into it. It was built in the 1800s, he said.

Wieseman said his wife had been in the garage late Wednesday, flipped a switch and heard a popping noise. He later heard another popping noise, came back and found the circuit-breaker tripped. He turned everything off, then went to bed.

About 5 a.m., he and his wife heard a smoke alarm and smelled smoke.

"I got up, ran out the back, raised the garage door and was hit by black smoke," Wieseman said.

He said at first he thought the blaze could be contained to the garage, but it spread. Meanwhile, his wife dialed 911.

"By the time the fire department got here, flames were coming out the roof of the house," he said.

Despite his efforts, he lost a vehicle in the garage. The family members, including his wife's mother, Barbara Laramie, also lived there and lost important possessions, including most of their clothing.

Denise Wieseman lost her purse and glasses, and Laramie lost her dentures.

Denise Wieseman's daughter from a previous marriage, Shannon O'Neil, and O'Neil's daughter, Makalah, 5, also lived there and are without a home.

After the fire, some of the family was living in a motel in Hamel and a camper. Tom Wieseman said neighbors have come to help, and he is hoping to get another camper to occupy while they figure where to go and what to do next.

He was considering rebuilding on the same property as of Thursday.

Wieseman speculated that perhaps a "dead spark" was left after the short-circuit caused the popping noise. He said he had been working to restore the house, including the wiring, for 15 years. At one point, they had a problem with rats and mice that may have damaged the wiring, he said.

Although two dogs died in the blaze, three others managed to get out, he said. The dogs that died were named Nickie and Kelly.

At least four fire departments, from Hamel, Edwardsville, Holiday Shores and Marine, responded.

Wieseman said he had insurance on the home but not on the contents.

Shortly before 4:30 p.m., the Hamel Fire Department was called back to the scene for a report that the fire had rekindled. Firefighters responded and doused small flames that had erupted in the ruins of the house.

American Fitness is expanding fitness equipment installation solutions with the addition of gym flooring products from RB Rubber Products. The American-made, recycled flooring products were selected for their high standards of quality and durability, as well as the manufacturer’s eco-friendly recycling processes. The new products include rubber mats, tiles, and roll-out fitness center flooring.

Portland, Oregon (PRWEB) February 09, 2012

American Fitness, a premier supplier of fitness equipment serving home and commercial customers, including schools, fire departments, and the US military, has partnered with RB Rubber Products, a subsidiary of DASH Multi-Corp, to provide high quality, recycled rubber gym flooring to its customers. Rubber mats, tiles, and roll-out flooring from RB Rubber Products will complement current flooring options available at AmericanFitness.net, providing customers with more choices for comfort and safety. American Fitness selected the manufacturer for its excellence in rubber gym flooring products, broad product line, and sustainable business practices.

Quality commercial flooring is an important component of any fitness center, weight room, or health club. Hard surfaces, such as wood or concrete, can be hard on the body, resulting in potential injuries. Floors can be easily damaged from the weight of heavy fitness equipment, the dropping of weights, or regular gym traffic. Large commercial gyms and health facilities can also experience a lot of noise from exercise and weight machines. Rubber gym flooring is an ideal choice for minimizing these risks and improving the workout experience. Rubber flooring products from RB Rubber Products are specially designed to hold up to repeated use while absorbing shock and sound. They are also environmentally conscious. All of the rubber mats, tiles, and roll-out flooring are made from recycled tires.

“We are proud to offer RB Rubber Products’ gym flooring products to our customers installing home or commercial fitness centers,” said Ron Thompson, President of American Fitness. “With unsurpassed quality and a large range of solutions to choose from, they are a natural choice for any size gym, weight room, or health club. All of the products are American-made using environmentally-friendly recycling technologies. This is especially important for our customers focused on sustainable business practices. We look forward to recommending their rubber mats, tiles, and roll-out flooring for everyone from small home gym customers to larger, institutional customers.”

Products available at AmericanFitness.net will include RB Fitness Flooring and Athletic Mats. RB Fitness Flooring is available in rolls, Mega-Lock tiles, or interlocking RB Zip-Tile. The latter has a unique tab design which holds the tiles together without the need for special adhesives or tapes. The non-slip surface is easy to clean and offers a seamless appearance. They can be installed in a square or brick pattern design, and can be disassembled and reassembled easily. All of the Fitness Flooring products are available in black or black with flecks of color.

American Fitness is a leading retailer of home and commercial fitness equipment. Headquartered in Portland, Oregon, AmericanFitness.net is the chosen provider of fitness and exercise equipment for schools, hotels, public service agencies, and US military organizations across the United States and abroad.

Snohomish Flooring Company Debuts New Website

Dear New Frugal You,
We need a bigger house but can't afford to move right now. So we're thinking of converting our attic or garage into another bedroom. My husband and I aren't afraid to tackle projects ourselves. We expect to hire some help (like for electrical), but would like to do most of it ourselves to save money. How can we keep from getting in over our heads and still save? -- DIY Debra

Dear Debra,
Good question. Converting space in your home is a serious do-it-yourself project. But as you've already figured, it could save you money and add value to your home. Let's see how we can increase the odds of a successful addition.

Your first step should be to contact the local zoning and building inspectors. They'll have information about what's required to make the changes you're considering. Sometimes building codes can be tricky, especially when you want to convert storage or garage space into a bedroom. The codes don't worry too much about the safety of that old trunk in your attic. They do care about space that your child will sleep in.

Pay particular attention to what licenses are required. Typically, homeowners can act as their own general contractor on a remodeling project. The GC has overall responsibility for the project. They'll pull permits and call for inspections.

It's tempting to try to save a few dollars by skipping the permits and overlooking a few requirements, too. Resist the temptation. First, many of those requirements are for your safety. Also, the inspectors are trained to point out things that could improve your project.

Once you've looked at the building code requirements, you'll begin the fun part -- daydreaming about what you'd like to do with the space. This is an important step. Your ideas will help you identify different design elements (such as placement for electric outlets) that should be decided before you start. Take enough time to really get an idea of what living in that space will be like. Make your changes now before you start the project. Once you've started, changes become much more expensive.

As your plan takes shape, you can begin to assemble a list of the materials and tools you'll need. Also begin to create a budget for the project.

This part of the process is essential to your success. You should begin to get an idea of which professionals you'll need to bring in to help with portions that are above your skill level. You'll want to talk with them and get bids.

These bids, along with the cost of the permits and materials needed, should give you a fair estimate of the total cost. This is the point where you get to decide if the project makes sense financially.

It may be that the budget will require you to scale back your plans. Better to do it now instead of in the middle of the project. Now is also the proper time to arrange for any loans you may need.

The project itself can be broken down into smaller tasks. In this case, you'll probably begin by framing any new interior walls, and then add electrical, plumbing and insulation. After that is drywall and finish carpentry. Floor covering and painting will finish it off.

When you're deciding which portions are do-it-yourself, you have many options. Some professionals, especially in this market, will allow you to do the simpler parts of a job. Others will even work alongside you. You can also call in friends who have a skill you're missing. And don't forget that instructional videos are available on the Internet and on DVD.

When you decide which jobs to hire out, be honest with yourself. Professionals will work faster and get a better looking product. For visible things (think finish carpentry or drywall joints), it might be worthwhile to have that professional touch.

As someone who has gone through this process, I can tell you that it's easy to get overwhelmed. Breaking the job down into smaller tasks (such as framing the walls) makes it easier to stay motivated and on-task.

Use your inspections as benchmarks. As you call for and pass each inspection, you're that much closer to completing. You'll also begin to see your vision take shape before your eyes!

Even fairly complex tasks (a bedroom, walk-in closet and full bath in our case) can be completed by a homeowner. That's especially true for people like you who have experience with do-it-yourself projects and who are motivated to see the job to completion.
