Talk about a comeback story.

A New Jersey bed and breakfast ravaged by Superstorm Sandy has won a prestigious travel industry award.

The Sea Spray Inn in Ocean Grove, N.J., had five feet of water on the ground floor, which destroyed the inn's mechanicals. A porch was destroyed, as were several windows and guest rooms.

But now the inn is one of the top B&Bs in the nation, according to the latest TripAdvisor Travelers Choice Awards.

"It's a really big deal, especially when you think about all the damage Sandy caused then factor in that we had to shut down for five months. We really persevered and came back and straight to the top," said Eric Tellefsen, who co-owns the inn with his wife Mary Ellen.

Bringing the inn back to award-winning status was no easy task. Windows needed to be replaced, as did a porch. The furnace, hot water heater and air conditioning had to be replaced too. The innkeepers had to lift the house a few inches and install a masonry wall because of structural issues caused by the storm surge.

They even had to replace the front sidewalk.

"This award is such a huge recognition of all our hard work. It means that our guests recognize and appreciate their experience," said Mary Ellen Tellefsen.

Today, the inn is almost complete. All that's left to do is finish the basement, but they have no funds left to do so. This recognition by the world's largest travel site could change that.

Three groups in Fountain Hills are asking residents to support them as they vie for $10,000 in grant funding from Republic Services.

The Republic Community Grant program was established in response to the towns request that citizens be allowed to support non-profit groups through the trash haulers Recycling Rewards program.

A citizens committee selected three projects from the five grant applications that were received this year. Town Facilities/Environmental Supervisor Raymond Rees said two of the applications were incomplete so narrowing the field was a simple process for the first effort.

The Fountain Hills Theater is asking for $5,000 to install shade screening over the patio area between two buildings at the theater.

The Fountain Hills Cultural and Civic Association is seeking $10,000 for the Greening of the Downtown initiative for planting of additional shade trees in Fountain Park.

The L. Alan Cruikshank River of Time Museum is asking for $5,000 for creation of an interactive exhibit emphasizing the value of water in Arizona.

Rees said $10,000 is the amount that is available for the grant this year. That being the case, he said if the FHCCA is eventually awarded the grant there will be no money for either of the other projects. However, if either of the other two is leads the tally of supporters the second place request will also receive $5,000.

Citizens can participate by going to the Republic website and entering under their access codes. They can then use any points they have collected for recycling and designate them for one of the projects.

People who would like to participate in selecting the grant recipient can go to the Republic website or the Town of Fountain Hills website and register for the Republic Rewards program.

People may go to the website and assign their rewards points to one of the projects as often as they like during the voting period, which lasts until May 31. The winner of the grant will be announced at the Town Council meeting in early June.

Rusty nails piercing jandals, allergic reactions to sunscreen, sand in the eyes, slips on spilled ice creams, collapsing deck chairs, burns from the barbie, and pulled muscles from playing backyard cricket.

These are just some of the 'seasonal' mishaps that led to ACC injury claims last summer.

A total of 439,878 claims were received between 1 December 2012 and 28 February 2013.

That put summer slightly ahead of winter (435,125 claims) and spring (420,690 claims) but trailing autumn (468,648 claims) as the most 'injurious' season last year.

ACC Injury Prevention Programme Manager, Megan Nagel, says there are always small numbers of claims each year that have a distinctively seasonal flavour.

"Beach-related injuries tend to be more frequent in summer, as you'd expect, while injuries caused by heaters are more common in winter."

However, other types of injuries occur constantly throughout the year.

"Falls in the home are the number one cause of injuries in New Zealand, regardless of what time of year it is."

Ms Nagel's advice to Kiwis wanting to see out the rest of this summer safely therefore includes a mix of seasonal and 'year round' injury prevention tips.

"Summer can be a popular time for socialising and outside DIY, so we remind people to be responsible hosts if serving alcohol, and pay attention to safety when using things like power tools and ladders."

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) Work is starting on the removals of trees along a 9-mile stretch of highway through Bloomington as part of the next phase for the Interstate 69 extension project through southern Indiana.

Workers set out orange warning barrels along part of Indiana 37 in Bloomington on Wednesday. The Indiana Department of Transportation awarded a $2 million contract in December for the tree removal, The Herald-Times reported (http://bit.ly/1a3v21Z ).

Agency spokesman Will Wingfield said about 30 acres of new right of way is being cleared through Bloomington, although he didn't know how many trees would be cut down.

All tree removal must be completed by March 31 to comply with federal wildlife regulations protecting the endangered Indiana bat during roosting season.

Officials expect construction work to start later this year on upgrading a 21-mile section of Indiana 37 for the I-69 extension between Bloomington and Martinsville.

A 67-mile stretch of I-69 opened in 2012 from near Evansville at I-64 to near the Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center southwest of Bloomington. Construction is underway on a 27-mile section between Bloomington and Crane that could open late this year.

Wingfield said that because trees are being removed, the state is buying land and preservation easements for 1,100 acres to mitigate the environmental impacts of the Bloomington-to-Martinsville section. He said more than 800 acres of forest will be preserved and 300 acres of new trees will be planted to increase future bat habitat.

Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) January 30, 2014

Bare and dead looking deciduous trees are normal for Philadelphia in winter. However, homeowners need to be alert for dead trees that may be a safety hazard to homes, people and surrounding property. Giroud Tree and Lawn provides tips for identifying dead trees, determining when a safety inspection by an ISA Certified Arborist is needed and taking action such as tree removal if a tree is found to be hazardous.

A dead or dying tree is more than an eyesore. It can also be a safety hazard. A storm can easily topple a dead tree because it no longer has a thriving root system to keep it stable. Additionally, large dead limbs are most vulnerable to breakage in high winds. When trees and limbs fall, the damage can be costly.

"Thats why its important for homeowners to know if the tree hanging over the house is simply dormant or dead," says Lou Giroud, ISA Certified Arborist and President of Giroud Tree and Lawn near Philadelphia, PA. Homeowners can get a sense of whether a tree is in serious decline or already dead by doing a few basic tests. 1.Did the tree show signs of stress last summer? Premature development of autumn leaf colors, early leaf drop, abnormally small or pale leaves, or new growth that wilted are all indicators of a potential problem. 2.Does the trunk have a cavity or signs of splitting? Scan the trunk and main leaders for holes (cavities), decay and cracked or split crotches. 3.Is the bark peeling from the trunk? Gently pull on a piece of bark. It should not break off easily. 4.Are twigs and buds developing normally? Scrape either a twig or bud with a thumbnail. It should be a healthy green, not brown or otherwise discolored. 5.Is new growth surviving the strains of winter? Try to bend a twig, does it snap because its dry and brittle?

If a tree is displaying any of the above warning signs, the homeowner should have an ISA Certified Arborist do a tree safety inspection and determine the best course of action, recommends Lou Giroud. Next steps may include tree removal, cabling weak limbs and deadwood removal.

In general, winter is the best possible time for tree service. With hard frozen ground, heavy tree equipment can usually be brought closer to the removal site. In addition, the impact on dormant lawns, understory shrubbery and flower beds is minimal. Finally, since winter is the slowest season, homeowners can expect faster turnaround in getting the job done.
