FERRISBURGH The Ferrisburgh selectboard on Oct. 7 approved in concept adding sprinklers to the new highway garage that will soon be built on Little Chicago Road.
Road foreman John Bull said he expected the cost of the sprinklers to be around $40,000, and that amount was affordable due to savings elsewhere on the $1.05 million project. Board members said they would back the proposal if final estimates came in as expected.
Bull said ground would be broken in November, with a January completion date.

Ferrisburgh garage to get sprinkler system
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio -
A Youngstown State University football player is facing a felony charge of vandalism for damage to a sprinkler system.
Witnesses say 20-year-old Michael Wheary of Lakeland, Florida was having a verbal argument with his girlfriend Sunday night, when he punched two holes in the wall at his room in Wick Oval Courtyard Apartments.
The wall was directly underneath a sprinkler system and YSU police say the force of Wheary's blows had appeared to have cracked a pipe in the system. Water poured from the apartment room, causing what police called more than $7,000 worth of "serious damage" to light fixtures, walls, carpeting and personal property of other renters in the complex.
Wheary, a junior, has been dismissed from the football team
Our print partner the Vindicator is reporting that the flooding caused approximately 90,000 in damages and that he is suspended from living in any university house while the case is under investigation.
Wheary was arraigned by video on Tuesday at Youngstown Municipal Court. Bond was set at 10 percent of $2,500.
Wheary has a preliminary hearing scheduled on November 20 at 10:00 a.m.

OPINION: What to think about dairy sheds, as featured on the front page and online on Tuesday?
There are two clear schools of thought, positive and negative, which can also be loosely bracketed as farmers versus townies.
There are few people in the middle.
On the plus side there is less pollution from a shed operation. Cow effluent and runoff are better able to be managed. Everyone has to like that.
Not so clear-cut is the aspect that life is easier for the cow, which it obviously is, because the cows live longer. But is that necessarily a good thing?
Farmers think so because it gives them extra production, townies swayed the other way because the animals are inside for 10 months of the year which isn't natural.
Also not clear-cut are the benefits or otherwise of the sheds themselves.
Townies think of the lack of sun and that cows don't get to wander free in paddocks, while cockies think of the times their animals don't have to endure weather extremes such as floods or heatwaves.
Cows die in these things.
Perhaps the biggest disconnect though is around the thinking that farms are businesses.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Chesapeake Energy Corp. CHK, +17.11% shares rallied Thursday after the company said it sold 413,000 acres in shale formations in West Virginia and southwest Pennsylvania to Southwestern Energy Co. SWN, -7.59% for $5.38 billion. For Chesapeake, the deal could fuel a share buyback, debt reduction, and increased activity in oil-rich areas, analysts at Citi said in a note Thursday. Southwestern Energy shares fell 8.1%, the top decliner among energy companies in the S&P 500 index. Some analysts said the deal looked expensive for Southwestern, and the company announced it was using a $5 billion bridge loan from Bank of America Merrill Lynch to pay for the deal. Southwestern added it plans to tap debt and equity markets around the transaction's closing to raise the permanent financing.

RENEWABLES could help feather the nests of Herefordshire broiler producers looking to fund new poultry sheds in response to growth from poultry giant, Cargill.
Hereford-based Cargill is expected to need 90 new poultry sheds as part of development plans to meet a rise in poultry consumption poultry is expected to account for more than half of our meat intake this year, up from just over a third 20 years ago.
And farmers such as Andrew Davies, who has been rearing broilers at Aberhall Farm near Ross-on-Wye since 2001, are supporting their expansion by incorporating renewable energy production into plans.
Adopting renewable technology simply restores poultry margins back to where they should be, he explains. Costs of production have gone up but returns havent kept pace, so income from renewables is becoming pretty important in poultry enterprises where margins are typically squeezed.
Without renewables youd be looking at 15 years or more to pay back the investment in a standard shed; with renewables, this is nearer six years if you can get your costs right.
Andrew has installed 198kW boilers to heat his six sheds; each takes a multi-fuel feedstock of anything from wood chip to miscanthus also known as elephant grass rape straw and poultry litter (thanks to recent Environment Agency approval), increasing his ability to deal with supply issues or future price rises.
Further insulation from fluctuations in biomass feedstock markets will come from 8ha of his own miscanthus he has planted for the first time this year. The miscanthus will be due for its first harvest in two years time, and with yields of about 20 tonnes per ha per year expected over the next 20 years, this should leave us about 15 per cent self-sufficient in energy crops at our current rate of use, he explained.
This means we will be less reliant on wood chip, which we currently source as timber offcuts from Forest of Dean. Its a great local supply, but the price has recently risen to 31 per tonne and we still have to pay for chipping on top of that. So it definitely pays to keep your options open by making sure the boiler can run on a variety of materials.
He says the underfloor heating installed in the last of his sheds has proven especially beneficial during the initial 18 days of the production cycle. It might add 55,000 to capital outlay, but before a batch of chicks arrives in cold weather, it can take 25 per cent less energy to get the shed up to temperature.
Then it dries the litter out better, lowers ammonia levels, reduces odour and keeps an even temperature across the whole shed. Ive seen perfect chick distribution in that shed even on the coldest of days an hour after chicks arrive and a reduction in podo-dermatitis incidence.

Update: Lynchburg City Council Approves Story Time Room Naming

The next piece of Oak Lawns Stoney Creek Promenade is being built construction started this week on a Coopers Hawk Winery & Restaurant.
It is the second big name thats part of the upscale retail development planned for the northwest corner of 111th Street and Cicero Avenue in Oak Lawn. The first, Marianos grocery store, set sales records in its first day of business, officials have said.
Mayor Sandra Bury, village manager Larry Deetjen and several trustees spoke highly of the restaurant during Tuesday nights village board meeting.
Trustee Mike Carberry, 6th, said the development is going to go down as a successful deal for Oak Lawn.
Not long ago, there were a few cars and a lot of seagulls out there, he said of the site that formerly was home to a Kmart, a shuttered Dominicks grocery store and other retailers like a muffler shop, hair salon, restaurant, and chiropractic office.
Carberry praised the project in response to criticism of the deal by Trustee Bob Streit, 3rd, who fears the village will end up losing money or not make as much as expected when its all said and done.
You should embrace it. Youre a lone guy with this deal. Its going to be a winner for Oak Lawn. Get behind it, Carberry told Streit.
That was after Streit engaged in a heated debate with Bury and village finance director Brian Hanigan about the financial implications of the village entering into a deal with Hamilton Partners regarding the former Edgar Funeral Home, just north of the site.
