ISHPEMING - Having waited for more than five years for information about when the motionless wind turbine in Ishpeming will be taken down and replaced with a working model, the company responsible for the turbine still can't provide a date the residents of Pioneer Bluff Apartments can expect to get some of their power from the wind.

Bryan Zaplitny, president and CEO of downstate Brighton-based Clean Green Energy, issued a press release in December entitled "Ishpeming Wind Turbine Not Forgotten," in which he said the company expected to bring the replacement model turbine to market sometime in 2014.

But in a prepared statement, CGE told The Mining Journal that it cannot yet say when the new, smaller turbine will be installed.

"We remain faithful to our plan to replace the prototype with a fully functional WIND-e20 wind turbine following its completion as well as provide Pioneer Bluff with free power from WIND-e20 for the first five years of production," the statement noted. "Due to the complexities of building the manufacturing assembly line we cannot yet provide a date for the installation but we will provide an update as the build date grows near."

The 162-foot tower, which can be seen from many places around the city, has in the past been controversial for the city and the Ishpeming Housing Commission, which owns the Pioneer Bluff Apartments. Some residents have called the motionless turbine an eyesore and the city council has on at least one occasion called for its removal.

CGE has said the current prototype turbine is operational, though it has never operated, and was determined to be too expensive and labor-intensive to produce and install or to run on a large scale, with blades that would likely fail.

"We are appreciative of the Ishpeming community's willingness to host the early prototype and we have committed one of (the) earliest available WIND-e20 turbines for installation at the Ishpeming Pioneer Bluff site," CGE's press release states.

The smaller, 105-foot, 65 kwh WIND-e20 model is expected to correct the flawed design issues of the prototype, and can be installed much more easily using a hydraulic control system and a backhoe rather than in a protracted process involving large cranes.

In December, CGE entered into a partnership with metal fabricator and military contractor Burtek Enterprises Inc., in which the downstate Chesterfield-based company will be CGE's strategic manufacturing and assembly partner for the WIND-e20. CGE said Burtek is currently designing the assembly line to manufacture the turbines.

"We have full confidence that their patented WIND-e20 will revolutionize the way people think about distributed power and we are committed to taking the time needed to get the details right," CGE said in the release. "The people of Ishpeming have a right to expect action on getting the new turbine installed."

A sawed-down shotgun and a container of all purpose cleaning solution were the focus in Tuesday's continuation of the trial for Jason Gardner, who is accused of shooting and killing Pennsylvania College of Technology student Terrell Henderson-Littles on Jan. 9, 2013.

Gardner and fellow gang member Mirad Shabazz were meeting with Henderson-Littles to buy marijuana when the slaying took place.

The second day of the trial began with testimony from Carl Farley, who discovered the murder weapon in a snow bank behind White Deer Run at 901 Vine Ave.

Farley was working as a maintenance man for White Deer Run at the time and observed a piece of wood protruding from the snow as he was putting trash in the business's dumpster.

On closer examination, he saw the wood working on the handle and assumed it was a gun. Farley notified the college police force and soon city police were on the scene to uncover the weapon.

City police Agent Raymond Kontz testified that he arrived on the scene after Farley's report and helped to uncover the gun, which he described as a sawed-off shotgun about a foot in length. The gun was uncovered just two days after police had searched the area for the weapon after Shabazz told state police that they disposed of the gun near a church.

The gun was processed by city police Lt. Arnold Duck. Duck told the court that, while he was examining the weapon, he discovered a red stripe around a safety button, indicating that the gun was in the firing position. Inside the barrel, he found a 12 gauge Winchester shell hull that showed the gun had been fired.

Duck said he did not perform a finger print test because the texture of the weapon would likely not yield results, but he did swab parts of the gun for a DNA test. Results of the test have not been shared in court.

Isaiah Fulton, a fellow gang member whom Gardner and Shabazz were visiting in early 2013, testified that Gardner did bring a gun with him on the trip, and kept it in a backpack. The gun, nicknamed "Bishop," was in the bag with Gardner at the time of the shooting, Fulton said.

After the shooting, Shabazz and Gardner left the scene in different directions, but eventually met up with Fulton and another friend before returning to the 807 W. Third St. apartment where Gardner and Fulton had been staying with Fulton's former girlfriend, Shontay Payton.

Question:

What should I be doing now to prepare my house for winter?

A: Historically, the first frost in Colorado comes by mid-September. And the first hard freeze typically arrives in early October. Now is the right time to take some simple steps to make your home comfortable and energy conserving during the cold months ahead.

1. INSULATE Heating your home can be expensive. By improving the home's insulation and making sure windows and doors are sealed properly you can save money and energy. Since heat rises, start in your attic to see if more insulation would help keep the home warmer at lower costs. You may want to consider replacing older windows with energy efficient versions available today.

All windows and doors need to be sealed around the edges to prevent cold air from entering and warmer air from escaping. You can check if air is leaking around doors and windows by loosely holding a tissue up to the edges and checking for air movement,

2. UPGRADE THERMOSTATS Consider installing a set-back thermostat for each heating zone which makes it easy to have your home's heating system come on automatically and only when you need it.

3. TEST YOUR FURNACE Turn your furnace or boiler on now and run it for a while to make sure that it's working properly. Boiler systems, which circulate heated water, are subject to leaks. Having your heating system professionally examined and tested annually is a good idea both for efficiency and safety.

4. CHANGE AIR FILTERS If your heating system uses an air filter, it should be changed at the start of the season and checked monthly during the cold months. A dirty filter restricts air flow and is potentially a fire hazard in the worst case. Having the heating ducts inspected and cleaned every few years will help improve air flow and may also help improve the air quality.

5. INSTALL CO DETECTORS Today having Carbon Monoxide detectors in your home, near the furnace and near bedrooms, is essential. These inexpensive devices, which look like a smoke detector, will warn you if dangerous and often odorless fumes are escaping from your furnace.

6. WRAP WATER HEATERS AND PIPES Consider adding insulated wrap around the hot water heater in your home and enjoy additional energy savings. If you have exposed water pipes close to outside walls you may want to wrap them to protect them from freezing. Most of these insulation products are available at your local home improvement store.

Winterizing your home

Jade Mountain, St Lucia. There is nothing understated about this Caribbean retreat, from the maze of walkways to the high-impact views of the volcanic Piton peaks.

Qualia. The Windward Pavilions have private plunge pools and glittering sea views.

Likuliku, Fiji.

Leadwood Lodge, Sabi Sands, South Africa. With just four suites, each with an outdoor shower, a fireplace and the ultimate luxury, a private pool, its a fabulous place to hole up.

The Pavilions, Phuket. Each of the private villas covers around 300 square metres and comes with its own infinity pool; some even face west over the ocean, perfect for watching the sun setting over the water.

Perivolas, Santorini. If all caves were this comfortable, we might never have moved out of the Stone Age.

Perivolas, Santorini. If all caves were this comfortable, we might never have moved out of the Stone Age.

Here are some things that make for a relaxing holiday: private villas, lazy late breakfasts, afternoons on the beach with a soundtrack of lapping waves and rustling palm fronds.

Here are some things that don't: children shrieking gleefully as they chase each other, tantrums over toast, and chants of "But he started it!"

Adults-only resort are growing in popularity, and it's not just DINKS (Double Income No Kids) who are checking in. Plenty of parents occasionally choose to go on holiday without their kids, expressly to enjoy the kind of grown-up activities that children interfere with reading books, for instance. The last thing they want is to be distracted by someone else's children while they're racing through the last pages of the latest Lee Child.
