Stage 2 watering restrictions begin Monday in San Marcos.

City leaders are tightening down on water use as a result of the quickly dropping Edwards Aquifer levels.

In the last month, officials say the aquifer has dropped nearly 20 feet.

We are seeing daily declines of over one foot in level. This requires we rigorously conserve our water to slow the decline and the resulting spring flow decreases, Executive Director of Public Services Tom Taggart said.

Under Stage 2 restrictions, residents can use sprinklers on one designated day each week before 10 a.m. or after 8 p.m. It also limits watering at golf courses, new pools and power washing pavement.

Officials say San Marcos receives about 20 percent of its water supply from the Edwards Aquifer. The other 80 percent comes from Canyon Lake.

Waste of water is prohibited.

Irrigation with sprinklers and automatic sprinkler irrigation systems is allowed only one day per week on the designated weekday between the hours of 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. to midnight. The designated weekday is as follows:

Monday for addresses ending in 0 or 1 Tuesday for addresses ending in 2 or 3 Wednesday for addresses ending in 4 or 5 Thursday for addresses ending in 6 or 7 Friday for addresses ending in 8 or 9

Hand watering is allowed on any day and at any time.

Pam Kueber, in her retro kitchen, shares resources and tips on great finds for home renovation.

When it seemed like everyone was outfitting their kitchens with granite countertops and Sub-Zero refrigerators, Pam Kueber was on the hunt for steel cabinets.

Ten years ago, Kueber and her husband bought a 1951 ranch house in Lenox, Mass., with ugly plastic tiles in the bathroom and a 1970s kitchen that was showing its age. But rather than bringing the house up to date, she wanted to take it back to its mid-20th-century character.

A communications professional with a degree in journalism, she put her reporting skills to work on ferreting out sources of vintage materials to renovate her mid-century home. Five years into her search, she struck gold: a set of aquamarine Geneva steel cabinets in what was once a cooking school run by nuns in New York City.

Her experience prompted her to start a blog to share her research with like-minded souls. Today her Retro Renovation blog, retrorenovation.com, attracts about 220,000 readers a month and is the go-to site for homeowners with a passion for restoring mid-century homes.

Kueber shares resources and tips on great finds, like the stash of 1960s tile a guy in Mansfield, Ohio, found recently when he was cleaning out a contractors house. Its like Whac-A-Mole, she said of the constant chase of the latest bonanza.

The blog celebrates what Kueber calls mid-century modest homes, houses like hers that sprang up across the United States in the wake of World War II. Unlike the chic, glass-walled atomic ranches that are revered as the epitome of mid-century modern style, these are the simpler Colonials, ranches and split levels that housed a much larger segment of the postwar population. Now many of them are housing young homeowners, who can afford their modest prices and appreciate their vintage style.

Her blog sometimes addresses high-style mid-century homes, but I write about pink bathrooms and knotty pine kitchens more, she said in a recent phone conversation. And more than write about them, she touts their appeal.

‘Mid-century modest’ homes see a resurgence

By Philip Chua

YES, billion microorganisms! Thats not a typo. Thats how many unwanted and potentially dangerous bugs there are on average in almost any kitchen. So, it is not the bathroom that is the germiest in any home; it is the kitchen!

The germs are everywhere in the kitchen, from sink sponges countertops, cutting boards, kitchen utensils, refrigerators to sinks, towels, and even stove tops.

The cleaning sequence is obvious, even before learning about this scientific fact in the intro above: do the kitchen first before doing the bathroom. And of course, proper hygiene is observed by washings hands well, or by taking a shower, if desired, after cleaning the bathroom, especially the toilet bowl.

Significantly minimizing the bacteria in the kitchen, if not eliminating them, can be achieved with meticulous washing with soap and water. Using chemicals, like lysol or other kitchen toxic cleaning solutions sold in the market today, is not safe. Long term use of these household chemicals has been suspected to be hazardous to health, possibly linked to some metabolic illnesses and cancers afflicting people, including non-smokers.

A safer chemical alternative is Acetic Acid (regular, common vinegar), which could help minimize bacteria after the areas are washed with soap and water. Vinegar also dissolves some of the mineral deposits (from water) on pots and pans and sink, bath tubes and shower areas. One part vinegar and nine parts water (10 percent solution) is an effective mixture.

Sponges used for cleaning dishes are the items where the greatest number of bacteria are found, especially when they are stored wet in a dark place. A sunlit area is better for hygiene. They must also be washed thoroughly after each use. The washed sponges could then be sterilized some more by microwaving non-metal sponges in a microwaveable container with water for a couple of minutes once a week. They could also be soaked in vinegar solution for about 20 minutes every week, rinsed and dried. Sponges should be replaced at least once a month, or sooner depending on use. Wash cloths should be washed daily. Putting sponges in dish washer is not enough, thats why vinegar soak is helpful.

Remember that when you use sponges or towels on the countertops, dishes or pots and pans, you could be merely transferring the germs from the sponges and towels to those items. Therefore, make sure that your hands, the sponges, and towels are clean before using them on washed utensils, etc.

This germ-transfer practice is obvious among those food handlers at restaurants, who are gloved but use their hands to touch countertops, tongs, their body parts, and then the bare food items, like sandwiches, etc. Unless these individuals are as conscious and aware that the clean gloves are strictly for touching the food items, like surgeons gloved hands are limited to touch the sterile (germ-free) operating drapes and body

organs, the food will be contaminated, in spite of the gloves, when improperly used. Also, if the same pair of gloves are used for more than a couple of hours, they too, like bare hands that are not washed within an hour, accumulate bacteria. Water is a super solvent and cleaner.

Billion germs in your kitchen

Tara and Chris live in a gorgeous old storybook home with a ton of character. Its crowning glory is a romantic turret that gives the house a royal air. The turret is what first attracted the couple to this home, but they quickly discovered that turning that awkward space into a multipurpose space was a story with a not-so-happy ending.

With only one closet in their entire top floor, storage was virtually nonexistent. Dim lighting and odd angles contributed to a choppy layout that lacked flow and functionality. Creating a new bedroom, office and lounge on the top floor of Tara and Chris' castle was a tall order, but with some ingenuity, the right materials and a royal touch inspired by the turret itself, we got the job done.

To make the most of this space, I created a plan that moved the bed out of the turret and over to a more convenient location beside the bathroom. The TV and media cabinet moved to the wall across from the bed, and in the corner I designed a luxurious lounge area. To expand the precious closet space, we added on to the outside of the existing closet, and installed a comfy reading nook in front of the window. As for the turret, it is the perfect space for a very funky office. It inspires creativity while segregating the work space from the bedroom-and-lounge area.

We found some wonderful vinyl flooring that looks like reclaimed wood, and laid that down throughout the entire space. A subtle-patterned wallpaper was hung on the room's long wall, helping the eye transition from TV and entertainment unit to lounge area. The rest of the space received a fresh coat of delicate green-gray paint.

One of Chris and Tara's biggest complaints about their multipurpose third floor was the lack of lighting. To brighten things up, we chose some classy black-and-gold pendant lights and hung a grouping of them over the lounge area. Floor and table lamps, a ceiling fixture with fan and a couple of bedside table lamps all help banish the shadows, but the piece de resistance is the cylindrical beaded chandelier that hangs in the office. Now that's a light that really means business.

The third floor of this charming old home is accessed by a narrow staircase. That fact really limits the type of furniture you can bring up there, so we had to choose carefully. I was excited to find a lovely modular L-shaped gray sofa for the lounge area that breaks down into separate pieces. We positioned it under the pendant lights, added a throw and some cushions that bring in the colors found in the bedding, and finished it off with an area rug and a round wooden coffee table with intricate carved detailing.

We had some fun incorporating royal touches throughout this space. One of Tara and Chris' existing chairs was recovered and now features a silk-screened crest with the couple's initials. A dresser and the new closet doors were adorned with stick-on vinyl lettering spelling out regal terms like "lord," "lady," "duke"and "duchess." The reading nook in the window beside the closet is built on top of a custom cabinet base, and features a cheery striped cushion with even more throw pillows. This is one window seat that invites you to stop and stay a while.

Finally, we tackled the turret, also known as the office. The beaded chandelier drops down over an elegant, open-legged table desk. Gold draperies and a red patchwork area rug continue our royal theme. Since the turret is not a very large space, I was careful to keep it uncluttered.

When the lord and lady of the manor were permitted to return to the turret, they were amazed at the transformation. The third floor of their elegant old home now feels cozy and comfortable. Decorative and functional lighting helps give the space a lot of character, while the grouping of black-and-gold pendant lights is pure artistry in itself. Immediately, Tara and Chris gravitated to the lounge area, which is the focal point of this space. The new layout is functional, and flows easily from turret to television area.

We were able to make the most of an awkward space, turning it into a welcoming retreat for the king and queen of this lovely old castle.

Goderich Little Theatre to host rummage sale at The Livery

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.

CRESCENT CITY -- The floor of the visitor center at Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park received a much-needed makeover on Wednesday, courtesy of Home Depot. The company donated both the flooring materials and the installation labor.

The new plank flooring is a dramatic improvement toward modernizing the old visitor center as a cheerful and welcoming space while retaining its rustic character.

The partnership between Home Depot, Redwood National and State Parks, and Redwood Parks Association, the nonprofit organization that benefits the parks, began last fall. Employees tackling a massive end-of-season cleaning of the visitor center discovered a section of the badly worn and molding carpet was beyond repair and needed to be replaced.

Unfortunately, both funding and labor were in short supply. When Home Depot learned about the problem, it donated the flooring for the section. Brad Maggetti, a park volunteer, donated his time to remove the old carpet and install the new materials.

However, when Home Depot store managers Alex Campbell and Michael Ekkart visited the center after the first installation, they were concerned to discover a large portion of the center's floors remained old and decayed.

They immediately offered to donate both the flooring materials and labor to renovate the entire visitor center. Store employees also volunteered their time to help clean the center's outside decks, gutters and campfire amphitheater.

Volunteering with local community projects is an important value for our company, and we love helping the parks. They're part of what makes the Northern California coast such a special place.

The Crescent City Safeway also supported the project by donating fresh deli sandwiches to feed the hard-working volunteers.

Debi White, the North District manager for Redwood Parks Association, said she is extremely grateful for Home Depot's and Safeway's generosity and partnership.

GOSHEN A total reconstruction of the Main Street building that housed Graber Designs Gallery, 208 S. Main St., which is set to re-open June 1, is the 40th downtown construction project completed by Jeremy Stutsman and his firm, Lofty Ideas.

There is not a surface that did not get changed, from the basement to the ceiling, Stutsman said this week, after he stripped the walls and floors and replaced the Main Street facade to the building.

He said five layers of flooring were removed to expose the original wood floor, which was then restored. The facade was removed and replaced by one designed by Dave Pottinger, Stutsmans father-in-law and sometimes partner in the restoration business.

The drywall and plaster were removed from the brick walls, the back wall was rebuilt with new insulation, the basement stairs rebuilt and the original metal 14-foot ceiling exposed, restored and repainted. Jeremy explained he uses a process of replacing the missing metal ceiling panels by vacuum-forming plastic replacements. He said 32 new panels were made and installed before a coat of grey paint was applied.

Replacement doors have been installed at the Main Street sidewalk with old wooden ones that Stutsman has rescued from other projects.

The new basement stairs will allow the business to expand and use the front half of the basement for retail sales space.

Stutsman said he was assisted in this project by fellow carpenters Joel and Alfonso Jimenez, a father and son team.

This is my 40th major project downtown, Stutsman said after starting his business with his wife, Maija, 11 years ago.

The projects have included four or five new facades, painting and improvements at Jon Wieands The Famous, Kelly Jae Next Door, Jules Boutique, Chucks Photography, work at Snyder Mens Store and on the streetscape projects.

Jeremy said the Grabers plan to reopen their business on June 1 with a new name, Found.

Gail Orcutt's only symptom was an occasional cough. Doctors eventually diagnosed lung cancer in the non-smoker, and removed her lung. Today, she is a rare survivor of what is suspected to be radon-induced cancer caused by exposure in her home, and advocated for more awareness of the issue.

Hundreds of radon mitigation systems that are supposed to funnel toxic gas out of basements are not getting tested and could be defective.

Classified as a class A carcinogen like arsenic and asbestos, the colorless and odorless gas causes lung cancer when radon decay particles attach to dust and are breathed into the lungs and damage the DNA, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

"The law says we're supposed to do inspections but we can't because we don't have the funds to do it," said Rick Welke, radon program manager at the Iowa Department of Public Health. "There's people installing 200 systems a year, and they've never been inspected."

How serious is the problem?

"It's very prevalent in the Unites States, and of the U.S., Iowa is in the highest range for radon levels," says Kim Johnson, Environmental Health Director for Buena Vista County. "In Iowa, northwest Iowa is the highest."

Solid numbers are hard to come by, and there is a limited database of completed tests to go on, but one website indicates that the average indoor radon level in BV County homes tested with Air Chek Inc. equipment is 9.3 pCi/liter, well above the 4 pCi level that the EPA suggests for taking action. The website reports that 70 percent of the tests done in the county are at 4 pCi or above.

"I know we have had houses here with test result levels in the hundreds," Johnson says. "And don't go by your neighbors - two houses right next to each other may test out completely different."

The county environmental office makes test kits available for $7. A homeowner puts the test in the lowest lived-in level of their home for 3-7 days, then sends it in for a reading. For privacy, results are mailed to the homeowner only.

Often problem level radon locally can be dealt with by "tightening up a home," Johnson says - such as repairing cracks in a basement floor or foundation and covering holes or floor drains - especially those that lead to sump pumps.
