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.

Tree removal starting for new I-69 extension phase
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.

BLACK FOREST, Colo. -
El Paso County leaders must act quickly to avoid losing $1.6 million in federal money for removing burned trees from certain areas of Black Forest.
County commissioners have considered the matter since last summer's wildfire destroyed or damage thousands of trees. The burned trees are considered a safety hazard because they can fall suddenly, and also be consumed as fuel by another fire.
The county wants to remove trees from public property along roads and utility lines. Two out-of state specialists, True North and Ceres, have agreed on contracts with the county to assess the number of trees needing removal, and to manage the actual removal.
Commissioners expect a final vote next Tuesday. The county has budgeted nearly $400,000 for burned tree assessment, while the $1.6 million cost of managing the removal would be paid by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Commissioners voted on the matter this week, but the vote ended in a 2-2 tie because member Sallie Clark was not present at the meeting.
Kyle Anderson, owner of a tree service business in Colorado Springs, has questions about the county's plan. He said he made an offer to be the county's exclusive burned tree remover, but was turned down.
"We're capable of managing it," Anderson said. "There's no reason to farm it out to somebody that doesn't reside here."
However, Anderson isn't out of the picture yet because FEMA's contract requires that Ceres assigns 85 percent of the tree removal work to "local" subcontractors. The county defines "local" as from Colorado, but Anderson believes it should mean from the county.
Anderson said his concern about the federal government funding a large part of the project is outweighed by what it would mean for his 14 employees.

Unresolved burned tree situation lingers in Black Forest

By Susan Dunlap - Sun-News Silver City residents Amanda Welford (left) and Lori Reyes were part of the crew of 20 artisans who made the 20,000 tiles Syzygy Tile shipped to Disney World in Orlando, Fla., on Wednesday.
SILVER CITY >> Twenty-one years ago husband and wife team Lee Gruber and David del Junco were driving through Pennsylvania on a pleasure trip when they stopped in Doylestown at the home of Henry Mercer who was an early twentieth-century tile artist. They were so inspired, they learned as much as they could from the ceramicists at the Mercer home, bought some books and started their own tile company here in Silver City.
Now with a crew of 20 artisans, their company, Syzygy Tile, shipped off a box of tiles produced for Disney World in Orlando, Fla., on Wednesday.
"We're delighted to have the order," Gruber said.
The process to make the tile that will be on display by mid-February in Disney World starts with wet, soft clay, showroom floor manager Patrick Hoskins said.
By Susan Dunlap - Sun-News Lee Gruber, co-owner, along with her husband, David del Junco, started Syzygy Tile in Silver City 21 years ago out of their home.
"We really, really strive for handmade," Hoskins said.
The clay gets shaped through one of three methods, through a cookie-cutter process cutting the tiles into shapes or through pressing out the tile or by extruding the tiles. The tiles that Disney choose were cut into diamond-like shapes.

HomeThangs.com the Online Home Improvement Store has made their goal to deliver the right product to the consumer. With that in mind, shopping and home design tips, as well as special product selections are being introduced.
Mediterranean style bathroom vanities have a distinctive, slightly exotic style. Antique vanities inspired by French and British designs are more commonly available, but are markedly different in style from their southern neighbors. HomeThangs.com has introduced a guide to this elegant style, as well as a few features to look for.
Victorian style bathroom vanities are practically defined by their floral and scalloped seashell detailing, and many French-inspired antique pieces use similar vines and flowers to accentuate their woodwork. But in a Mediterranean style bathroom, woodwork is bigger, bolder, and oftentimes more abstract, with a more assertive, masculine appearance.
Bold starbursts, and lots of intricate, and geometric detailing are more at home in a Mediterranean style bathroom than subtle florals. Especially in bathrooms with a lot of intricate tile work, the woodwork on the vanity should reflect the geometry of the mosaic tile. Both Moroccan and Turkish inspired bathrooms make use of colorful, starburst patterned tile called zillij, and a bathroom vanity that mimics the pattern can really help ground the design.
Moroccan bathrooms also make extensive use of wooden latticework called jali screens. These can be carved with broad geometric shapes or smaller, more delicate and lace-like detailing, and are used to create screens between spaces, cover windows, or simply decorate the walls or ceiling. Mediterranean bathroom vanities with similar woodwork can be used to supplement or substitute these elaborately carved wood screens.
Bathroom vanities with very detailed inlaid woodwork work well in a Mediterranean style bathroom, too. These are different from vanities with traditional veneers even patterned veneers in that they use different types of wood (or differently finished wood) inlaid in small pieces to create a more intricate image. Once again, these nicely echo the beautiful mosaic tile work thats so closely associated with a Mediterranean style, and have a beautiful, hand-made antique quality that fits well with a slightly more glamorous Mediterranean style bathroom.
That said, many Mediterranean bathrooms tend to emphasize natural building materials, like soft, sandy travertine or even adobe walls. These have a sun-drenched, earthy quality to them that reflects the lush coastal environment of the region. And while many Mediterranean bathrooms have a very posh, sophisticated look, others emphasize a simpler, more old fashioned style that hearkens back to ancient, stone-hewn architecture. For this type of bathroom, look for a much more rustic bathroom vanity made of weathered wood with a distinctive, natural grain.
Finally, while many northern European inspired antiques put a lot of emphasis on intricate metal door and drawer pulls, for a Mediterranean style bathroom, aim for a bathroom vanity that uses wood hardware instead. Again, this is part of emphasizing the more rugged, rustic look of the Mediterranean style, but carved wood pulls (or even simple wooden knobs) also have a nice feel to them that underscores the very tactile element of this type of bathroom.
