    Babe Ruth’s Sudbury home for sale - May 8, 2012 by Mr HomeBuilder

    By Gail Waterhouse, Globe Correspondent

    The Sudbury house that Babe Ruth owned after he was sold to the New York Yankees in the 1920s is for sale. And while it looks to be little changed from the outside, inside it is a far cry from the house that Ruth knew.

    The 5,124 square-foot home on Dutton Road has been thoroughly modernized with high-end appliances in the kitchen, and large bathrooms with tasteful stone tiling. On the third floor is a room the current owners filled with pictures of the Bambino and other baseball memorabilia.

    Listing agent Scott Adamson of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage said the owners were careful during their updates and renovations to keep many of the additions left by the famous baseball player, who played for both the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees.

    In the front room of the house, you can still see the burn marks from where Babe Ruth used to flick his ashes, said listing broker Scott Adamson, of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage.

    The two-acre property includes a large barn as well as a garage. It is listed at $1.65 million.

    Ruth bought the home in 1922 after he had already spent a few seasons as a Yankee. He was initially attracted to the Sudbury area while a Red Sox because it offer opportunities for hunting and fishing and was away from pressing crowds.

    He affectionately called the property Home Plate farm, and reportedly spent $26,000 stocking it, including 1,000 hens, many of which died not long after arriving, according to a history of Sudbury by A.S. Hudson.

    After a difficult season in 1922, Ruth promised Yankee fans that he was lose weight and limit his drinking and return in better shape because he was going to spend the winter in Sudbury chopping wood and all the activities a gentleman farmer was supposed to pursue.

    But instead, according to Hudson, Ruth could be found sitting back, drinking beer and carrying on while neighborhood boys would chop his wood for him.

    New zoning could effect look of Vergennes - May 6, 2012 by Mr HomeBuilder

    VERGENNES At 7 p.m. on Tuesday, May 8, Vergennes officials and residents will take what could be one of the final steps on what has been close to a five-year journey.

    Then, in the city fire stations basement meeting room, aldermen will convene a public hearing on new zoning regulations proposed by the Vergennes Planning Commission. A copy of the laws is posted at vergennes.org.

    Planners have been working on those zoning laws since Vergennes adopted its award-winning city plan in October 2009.

    When and if adopted by aldermen, the laws will create two new zoning districts, tweak regulations in other districts, and incorporate the citys subdivision regulations and significantly update them for the first time in 40 years.

    The plan itself was the product of more than two years of work by the citys planners, who before writing the document conducted surveys, held well-attended forums and even interviewed residents waiting in line at the recycling center.

    The Vergennes City Plan, said current planning commission chairman Shannon Haggett, provides both the vision for the citys future and the underpinnings for the new zoning laws, which planners approved after their own public process and gave to aldermen last month.

    The goal of the process ... is to really to take the tenets set forth in the plan and reconcile our current zoning and subdivision regulations with them, Haggett said, so that our regulations are matching the intent of the plan, which was informed by the people coming together and saying these are the things that we want to see in the city of Vergennes.

    Aldermen must hold at least Tuesdays public hearing; they may choose to hold more. If they accept planners work as is or with only minor technical changes, they may then adopt the laws.

    If aldermen want to make major changes based on what they see or what they hear from the public, the proposal must go back to the planners to be reworked, and the hearing process must from scratch back before planners.

    Haggett hopes and expects that wont be necessary, given that both the plan and the zoning laws have been based on extensive public input over the past five years for example, just recently, based on testimony at their final public hearing, planners added density bonuses for planned unit developments in the citys agricultural zone.

    The Homebrewer’s Brain – Munich Helles - May 6, 2012 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Hey, remember us?

    Yeah, weve been busy babies, too many hours on the clock, building business plans, blah, blah, blah. The fact that so much time has passed since our last post seriously burrows into our collective psyche. It pains us. But, sometimes life gets in the way. What can you do? Please allow us to apologize. Consider it a hiatus, a time to recuperate. And we move on

    One thing that we have absolutely not allowed to go stagnant is our endless trek down the path to better beer. We have been homebrewing every chance that we get. For us, brewing is not just a means to the end of having beer to drink. Its so much more. We want to make the best beer in the world. We put hours into recipe formulation. We read, we discuss, we reflect This is a log of our process.

    The ever sharing Eric Salazar of New Belgium (photo credit http://www.fairfaxbrewfest.com)

    The brewing community is phenomenal. We love being a part of it. We always feel accepted and we almost always walk away from a brewery visit feeling like we were virtually hugged by the staff. The one thing that we are often most surprised by is how open brewers are about what they do. Processes, recipes, sometimes even financials are shared with us openly. It speaks to the genuine quality of people that we aim to surround ourselves with. Ultimately, we want to be just as open and helpful. We want to spread the love too.

    So this is our attempt to share. We thought that it might be helpful to write down our process for recipe formulation, if not to help other all-grain brewers, to help us remember why we did what we did. This way, if a bit of time passes between the first time that we brew something and the follow up brew,we dont have to start all over from scratch.

    We urge you to share your experiences as well, for we are still figuring it all out ourselves.

    I (Timperial) should, in addition, mention that I am also writing this as a means to assist one of my employers, Homebrew Heaven, get flow to their website and to create a deeper set of tools to assist homebrewers on that site. Please check them out if you havent already, for they are allowing me to take time on the clock to write these articles.

    Home-schooler Learns the Newspaper Trade by Publishing Brooklin Times - April 27, 2012 by Mr HomeBuilder

    BROOKLIN With the critical success of The Hutchins Times, a newspaper Hoyt Hutchins wrote for his family, the young newsmans next step was obvious find a larger audience.

    I was doing it for my house as a fun project and I thought maybe we could do it for the whole town, Hutchins said Monday.

    With that, the 13-year-old home-schooler launched the first edition of the Brooklin Times on Feb. 12, 2011.

    Ive missed a few weeks, but it was a scheduled miss, he said, explaining that the fledgling journal didnt reach the newsstands for a couple of months while he was on an extended vacation and one other week when he was away to attend a conference.

    As editor in chief, Hutchins writes the news stories, sells and creates the ads, arranges guest columns and letters to the editor, lays out each issue and delivers fresh-off-the-press copies to newsstands every Saturday morning.

    Hutchins produces the paper on a home printer.

    Along the way, hes developed a keen eye for news and features, and hes adopted the tools of the trade, including his own shorthand that he uses when working as a reporter.

    Hutchins is well familiar with the driving force behind all newspaper work deadlines.

    Ive always got it done on time, though Ive come close to not, he said. I deliver every Saturday morning. Getting it done Friday night is the deadline.

    The young entrepreneur is also learning the business basics that can make or break a newspaper.

    12 years later, money for new upgrades in El Paso sought - April 22, 2012 by Mr HomeBuilder

    The last time the city asked residents to vote on a quality-of-life bond, the voters cooperated, easily passing all four propositions in 2000.

    Twelve years later, as the city prepares to ask El Pasoans to vote on a new $655 million to $835 million bond, just about every project listed on the 2000 bond issue -- minus a parking garage at the zoo -- has been completed.

    It is because of that success that the mayor and other city officials are willing to go to the voters again. The 2000 bond showed that the city could hold the line on taxes and still achieve its goals, Mayor John Cook said.

    The proposed November 2012 bond referendum, while bigger in dollars and projects, is needed to create a longer-lasting economic impact on the community

    "The combination of signature projects with neighborhood projects and basic infrastructure is what really makes this strong," Cook said.

    Unlike the 2000 bond, which was worth $141 million, this year's bond could carry national implications as it calls for a multipurpose arena and sports stadiums. The 2012 bond proposal also carries money for the zoo, infrastructure and neighborhoods.

    But the centerpieces are the stadiums, which won't be built unless there's a commitment from a team to make El Paso home.

    "There's no reason that those events and shows that are going to Phoenix or even Las Cruces can't come to El Paso if we have the right facilities," said Rick Horrow, president of Horrow Sports

    His national company has been hired to help develop a plan to spur economic development in the region, something that was not done in 2000.

    Most of the money from the 2000 bond issue was spread among four city departments: Parks and Recreation, the library, the zoo and history museum. The library bond issue, was the most popular, passing with 77 percent of the vote, according to El Paso Times archives.

    CB4 honors Ed Kirkland, welcomes new additions - April 22, 2012 by Mr HomeBuilder

    The Fire Departments EMS station on 23rd Street, proposed additions to the Chelsea Hotel. Permits for local street fairs and national budget issues were among the topics discussed when the full board of Community Board 4 (CB4), including 10 new board members, gathered at Fulton Houses Auditorium on April 4 for their monthly meeting.

    Before the meeting began, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer arrived to present outgoing member Ed Kirkland with an official certificate of appreciation for his years of service to CB4.

    The Proclamation Im going to give tonight to Ed Kirkland, whos always been someone who pointed the way on so many issues, the mayor cannot give. Andrew Cuomo cannot give this Proclamation, only I can do this, said Stringer. Whereas Ed Kirkland has served on the board of CB4 for 29 years and played a lead role in just about every important matter from the High Line to Hudson Gardens and the Hudson River Parkand whereas we are sad he will step downI hereby proclaim April 4, 2012, as Ed Kirkland Appreciation Day in the borough of Manhattan.

    Im just glad it wasnt on April 1st, said Kirkland to laughter. Its time. I know its time. I want to thank all of you with whom I worked andthank you for this Proclamation.

    Ed sets the standard for community reform, between his work with Chelsea Market and Waterfront issues, and will continue to help give you all the resources you need to handle these issues, said Stringer.

    Kirkland will stay on the board in a consultant capacity, with Board Chair Corey Johnson noting, It is a loss not to have him on the board of CB4, but we will recruit him as a public member.

    Ed Kirkland is one of the most prominent, well respected and irreplaceable community activists that CB4 has ever been blessed with, echoed Johnson. He is one of the foremost experts and activists on preservation, not just on the West Side but throughout the entire city, and about four years ago almost single-handedly helped secure the West Chelsea Historic District, which is just one of many accomplishments he has under his belt as board member for 29 years. We are saddened by him leaving the board, but happy he is staying on as a public member and helping us when we need his expertise.

    EMS STATION DEBATED

    Board member Brett Firfer led the session of the meeting dealing with the site selection and acquisition of property at 512 West 23rd Street for the Midtown West EMS Station. David Harney, chief of staff of the Deputy Fire Commissioner for the Bureau of Technology and Support Services, explained that the NYFD would like CB4 to support their move to obtain a lease at their temporary location. Joining him were Captain James Foley and Police Chief James Murley.

    When the [St. Vincents] hospital closed, the five units and 15 tours that served the area disappeared, said Harney. The Fire Department assumed control of those tours. The problem is simple. We do not have the facilities [for this].

    Wishy-washy spring season brings life to local golf courses - April 18, 2012 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Click photo to enlarge

    (Park Record file photo) Now that the winter season is overwith, the wishy-washy spring weather has brought the opening of many local golf courses along the Wasatch Back.

    After what was considered a disappointing winter season for resort-goers, the local golf courses were beneficiaries of the lack of snow as public courses such as the Park City Golf Course were able to open up for business on Friday, April 13.

    "This course came out really well this year," said Craig Sanchez, manager of the only public golf course within the city limits. "We're happy with the conditions and we're happy how it's playing out."

    Sanchez said the course, which like most around Summit and Wasatch counties, is at the mercy of Mother Nature for the next few weeks, didn't have any large off-season renovations, however, he did say some new golf carts and new greens lawnmowers will represent the new additions.

    "Pretty much business as usual," he said.

    He said the early-season men's and ladies' golf league signups have been "robust" with play scheduled to start in late April and early May.

    According to Craig MacKay, head professional at Wasatch Mountain State Golf Course, the lackluster winter season allowed the Midway public course to open earlier than usual as the links have been open to golfers for close to two weeks now.

    "It's been cold, but the golf course has been in excellent condition," he said. "It's nice to get going early this year. The last couple spring seasons, we've lost an awful lot of money because it rained for two months. It's nice to get revenue.

    "Everything is in really good shape right now."

    The figure represents a significant drop from $2.3 million in March 2011, according to reports compiled by the division. Last year for the corresponding month, nine permits were issued for single-family dwellings, adding up to $1.3 million in construction value.

    The staff issued 124 permits last month, while 128 were registered a year ago. The four houses accounted for $4,852.31 of the fees collected, bringing March fees this year to $21,906, a drop from $26,997 in March 2011. Contractors handling the jobs are Ratliff Construction, Ruidoso Mountain Builders and John Cornelius Builders.

    Residential additions accounted for $363,278.76 in value and $3,805.73 in fees. Four commercial additions added $82,236.32 in value and $991.13 in fees. Three residential garage/carports matched that at $82,761 in value and $961 in fees. Twelve residential additions contributed $363,278 in value and $3,805 in fees.

    Other categories significantly impacting the month's figures included residential garages or carports, residential re-roofing, residential decks and a new commercial building being built by Budaghers Landscape Co. at 109 Pikes Peak Road.

    The division issued 40 residential electrical permits and six commercial electrical permits. Thirteen residential plumbing/mechanical permits were

    Special Report: Top 10 Innovative P/C Insurance Products - April 1, 2012 by Mr HomeBuilder

    In the past few years, dozens of property/casualty insurers have announced innovative protections for risks involving new technologies, current economic concerns, personal and family relationships, home-based small businesses, and more.

    This is a new era in property/casualty insurance. Innovation is breaking out all over, said Roger Hurtvig, president of the Insurance Innovation Institute (III) in Warwick, Rhode Island.

    The P/C industry has a reputation of being slow to embrace new ideas but the IIIs own measure of innovation the P/C New Products Index has been rising steadily for the past year and hit a record high of 75 out of a possible 100 points last month.

    It seems that with every day comes a new idea, Hurtvig said. The new products are anchored in traditional insurance principles but they speak to a new generation of risks. Its very exciting.

    So what are some of these new ideas that have put the industrys unhip reputation at risk? Insurance Journal searched the database at http://www.MyNewMarkets.com to find the Top 10 Most Innovative P/C Insurance Products:

    1. Pay-As-You-Park: Private passenger auto policy from Progresso. Rates are based on how long the vehicle is not driven. Policyholders are sent a small white box that attaches to the front drivers side wheel. The box contains a meter that is loaded with an initial estimated premium. The box calculates premium discounts for every 15 minutes the vehicle is parked but adds surcharges for every 15 minutes the vehicle is in motion. Pay-As-You-Dock boat policy also available.

    2. GreenMaker: R.W. Barkley is selling a product liability policy for home or garage-based businesses that manufacture cosmetics, clothing, jewelry, toys, computers or other products using primarily recycled, upcycled, natural or organic materials.

    3. Commercial Specific Liability (CSL): A low-cost option to the Commercial General Liability (CGL), the CSL lets business owners specify the exposures they want covered. The final ISO form is not expected until December but some examples of actions expected to be covered include: nailing into a water pipe, electrical wiring or cable; causing a fall due to the failure to warn of water, change in elevation (a step), or intoxication; and releasing a pollutant that the insured did not bring to the job site.

    4. Vanishing Coverage: A multi-year package policy from Hubb Insurance available only to owners of high-end coastal properties and antique autos. The premium is lowered by the same amount the deductible is raised each year until the deductible reaches the policy limit or the premium hits zero, whichever happens first.

    5. Home Business Interruption Protection (HBIP): Revelers Insurance has a business interruption policy for any service business conducted from the home, from hackers and day traders to massage therapists and insurance agents. Covers loss of Internet connection, telephone service, daycare, HVAC as well as refrigerator breaks.
