Until recently, "enjoy" was not a word most people associated with showers. Enjoyment meant long soaks in the bathtub. Showering was a utilitarian experience, used to rinse off the effects of a virtuous exercise session or a not-so-virtuous night on the town. That is changing, however, as more folks opt to spray, rather than soak, themselves clean. Here's how to make your daily cleanse an individual, green and luxurious experience.
Sing
Standing under running water improves the human singing voice. The gurgling and gushing sounds that emanate from the plumbing seem to muffle the gurgling and gushing from your vocal cords, providing the perfect opportunity to practice for your future career as an opera star or heavy metal vocalist. Meanwhile, the steam lubricates your larynx and helps you keep your vocal cords strong.
Some Like It Hot
Standing in a flow of sultry water has a number of health benefits. Relax stiff joints and sore muscles with a steamy spray. Open your sinuses when you suffer from cold or allergy symptoms. And if you're preparing for a heavy date...hot water has been shown to raise levels of oxytocin, aka the love hormone.
Some Like It Cold
Cold shower fans deserve equal time. Frigid water hydrates hair and skin, imparting a healthy glow. It also washes away fatigue and increases alertness. Studies show that cool showers once or twice daily can relieve depression.
Better Than Bathtime
When you contemplate making the switch from tub baths to showers, consider the following factoids. In general, showers get you cleaner using less water. If you have a good water heater, the water won't cool off as it does in a bath. Shower stalls, especially the new curbless type, are easier to get in and out of than tubs, making them more accessible to those with limited mobility. Minimal floor space is needed to install a shower -- great if you want to upgrade a small powder room. And it's usually simpler to repair a shower head than to replace a tub.

Showers of delight
Lee and Dorothy Dadisman, of rural Nevada, are actually thankful for the snow this year its providing them with water while their pipes are frozen and their septic tank is not working as intended, frozen by the frost that has extended several feet beneath the surface.
The Dadismans bring snow into the house in five-gallon buckets; they let it melt, filter the water through a kitchen strainer and use it as needed around their farmstead, heating water in a kettle for bathing.
Its probably easier for us than it would be for younger people, said Dorothy, 77, about their situation. We grew up carrying water and using an outhouse when we were younger.
The warmth of the community has shone through these bitterly cold temperatures in the Dadismans time of need. An email was sent to members of Colos United Methodist Church one morning explaining the situation, and by the end of the day, the church had collected over 50 jugs for the couple to use for water collection and storage.
People in the community offered the use of their washers, but Dorothy prefers to head into Nevada to do several loads of laundry at once.
The Dadismans have lived at their address for over 40 years, but their septic problems began this winter. The couple added a bedroom onto the home in the spring of 2012, forcing them to move the septic tank to a different location. Their homes wastewater now must travel further from the house to the tank. Despite 2013-14 only being the systems second year in use, the Dadismans have already had to deal with more issues than they have in previous winters. They think that, because of the long distance between their house and the septic tank, the pipes do not stay warm enough to allow for the required amount of movement.
Story County Environmental Health Department Director Margaret C. Jaynes said that septic tank freezes are a widespread problem this winter not just in Story County, but across the entire upper Midwest. The daunting problem stems from the dry soil, an early deep freeze in December without snow cover for insulation, and the extreme depth of the frost. Jaynes noted that this is the first time in her 20-year tenure that her department has fielded more than a handful of frozen system calls. Frost levels are around four-and-a-half feet in compacted areas like driveways or areas without vegetative cover. Jaynes has also heard from a local septic system contractor and grave digger who has had to thaw grave sites for the first time in nine years. The soil in Story County also prevents rural homeowners from digging their septic lines deep enough because of the possible negative impact on groundwater.
State code restricts the installation of septic lines to no more than 3 freet, and a minimum of 3-feet above the seasonal water table. That means the average depth of the septic lines is 2 feet, according to the code.
As for the Dadismans, their only option right now is for their septic company to pump hot water through the system until the ground thaws and to use their houses heat to melt snow.
If we didnt have electricity, wed have to move out for a little while, notes Lee.
PEMBROKE Electrician and heating system installer John Locklear is a man of few words but more than a few ideas.
At 64, an age when most would be considering retirement, Locklear, who has been working as an electrician for Smithfield Foods for 22 years, is actually expanding his area of expertise.
A native of the small area of Prospect, Locklear began working on a side business, called Eagle Horse Wood Stoves, nine years ago, in which he would sell and install wood furnaces for warming homes.
Wood furnaces might sound like an old-fashioned way to stay warm, but last year Locklear attended a seminar which introduced him to a new way of breathing life into an old idea solar energy.
By using specially made solar panels that absorb sunlight to heat water which is then used to warm the furnace, Locklear, who was already saving money by chopping his own wood, could save up to $1,800 in electricity costs a year.
You save money [on electricity] and you get hot water without a water heater, Locklear said. It is free. You cant beat that.
Locklear believes that were he a younger man, with more time and money at his disposal, hed have happily installed a solar system that would power his entire home.
Maybe if I were 30, but Im not a young man and it would cost too much, Locklear said.
According to Locklear, the cost of installing an outdoor wood furnace is about $2,000, and adding a water-heating solar panel is an additional $2,500. He said that cost is offset in the long run by the annual savings.
In September Locklear installed his first solar panel at his own home and after finding success was approached by his friend Thomas Scott, president of Pembrokes East Coast Electric, about installing such a heating system at his businesss office.

Members of the Sandusky tree commission recently shed light on a local forestry fiasco.
A presentation at a city commission meeting focused on the many dead and diseased trees in Sandusky, as well as the fact theres currently not enough staff or resources to address the issue.
It has resulted in a backlog of more than 300 trees requiring attention.
To help solve this problem, the tree commissions members are working to implant solutions in city commissioners heads.
Planting ideas At a recent public meeting, tree commission members:
Clued people in on what the board does. The volunteer organization studies, plans, advises, reports and recommends tree-related action to the city commission.
Emphasized the importance of urban trees. Trees reduce energy use, improve air quality and improve community livability.
Stressed the lack of funding. Tree management falls under horticultural services, which also oversees greenhouse, mowing and other forestry operations. The departments budget decreased 6 percent, from $841,500 spent in 2013 to $787,000 budgeted for 2014. There is only one certified arborist to address trees.
Presented other tree issues. Trees planted in wrong spots has uprooted sidewalks, crowded boulevards and threatened public safety with branches dangling closely to power lines.
Spoke about the committees desire to catalog all trees, such as types and locations, in Sandusky.
