Hope to see you there! Kristen Shelburg THANKS— To all those who worked for and on the two mailings for the Property Owners Association. Special thanks to those who donated so much time and effort to the Round Mountain issue. It’s working together on issues such as this that makes the Town of Castle Valley such a unique place to live. The POA Board would like to wish everyone a beautiful Holiday Season, filled with brotherhood and love... Merry Christmas Everyone *Post Thanksgiving Stress Disorder HOLIDAYS IN CASTLE VALLEY Holidays are celebrated here for the most part the same way they are elsewhere. We have our turkey dinners, our Christmas tree lights, relatives join us here, some of us vacation elsewhere. What I find fun and unique to my experience in Castle Valley is the juxtaposition of elegant table settings and unfinished sheet rock walls. The ablility to build our homes, so rare in most places unless you are a contractor, means celebrating the holidays in unfinished houses. Most of us think of construction zones as a place for jeans and plastic dishes. This past Thanksgiving, however,I enjoyed the scene of elegantly dressed guests dining amid crystal, candles, and fine china, on rough With the beginning of winter, here are a few tips on how to get more heat from the wood you’ve bought or cut for your wood burning stove. It’s easy to see how efficiently we are using our wood burning stoves. All we need to do is walk outside and see how much smoke is leaving our chimneys. Once the fire has been burning for awhile, any black, oily, or dense white smoke indicates money is being wasted. If you can see any more than just a wisp of steam (that soon disappears), you are pumping unburned wood up your chimney. This is the same as pumping your hard earned money up your chimney, and also puts creosote deposits on the inside of your chimney. Roughly speaking, there are two stages to the wood burning process. In the initial, low temperature phase, the cold wood is heated to the point where a part of the wood (called the volatiles) is boiled off and burned with the fresh air coming into the stove. The pitchy woods have a lot of these volatile substances. Later in More Woodburning, p.7 THANKS VALLI Valli Smouse recently did the work to get more “free money” for the community. Castle Valley will now get the sales tax credit for motor vehicles purchased by CV residents. There will be no extra charges for CV residents; sub-flooring and unfinished sheet rock walls. Only in Castle Valley! Joan Sangree the CV community just gets the money that had previously gone elsewhere. |
