Building Material Salvage and Recycling
Client Assistance Memo 1302
Why should you reuse and recycle building materials?
- Send less waste to the landfill
- Give usable items another life
- Reduce natural resource use
- Save money
- Cut greenhouse gas emissions
- Support the local material reuse and recycling industry
- Earn green building rating system points (e.g., Built Green™, LEED™)
Many opportunities exist to reuse and recycle building materials that come from both demolition and new building projects.
Salvage: The removal of select materials from a building prior to demolition. These materials include items such as architectural features, cabinets, windows, and wood flooring.
Recycling: The collection and processing of certain materials, which are then manufactured into new products.
Demolition phase
Salvage before demolition
The typical home or commercial space often contains numerous reusable items. This is particularly true with older buildings. Items frequently desirable for reuse include large timbers, wood flooring, wood trim, cabinets, double-pane windows, dimensional lumber, and (non-hollow core) doors. Dimensional lumber is particularly desirable but can sometimes be difficult or expensive to remove. The most important consideration to maximizing reuse is to plan ahead and provide time for removal of desirable items. Salvage can begin at the beginning of a construction project, before demolition and hazardous waste abatement. Salvaging of non-structural items can begin before a demolition permit has been issued. If you do not have the time or knowledge to find outlets for potentially reusable items, call one of the local used building material stores. Store staff is typically available to visit a site to determine whether potentially-salvageable items are desired by their business.
Some of the used building material stores provide deconstruction and salvage services. If a building contains enough desired materials, store staff may be able to remove the items from the building at no charge, and many are able to provide receipts to allow for a tax deduction based on the value of the materials. Any items removed before a building is demolished will reduce disposal costs.
Think creatively for other ways to reuse materials before sending them to the landfill. Consider salvaging materials from an old building for reuse in a new building, on the same site. For example, high grade lumber may be salvaged and cut into trim or made into furnishings for the new building. Concrete may be ground and re-used on site in place of gravel or aggregate.
One alternative to using a salvage company is to hold a "Demo Sale" before a building is demolished. This involves letting the public into the building to remove non-structural windows, trim, doors, flooring, cabinets, etc., before the building is flattened. If you plan to pursue this option, check your insurance policy for liability coverage.
Recycle during demolition

City of Seattle ordinance requires businesses to recycle certain items, such as paper, cardboard, and yard debris. Other recyclables coming out of a demolition project can include wiring, plumbing fixtures, metal studs, and structural supports.
Be careful about metal ductwork, which often has asbestos tape or insulation attached to it. For comprehensive information about materials that can be recycled and local recyclers, look up your item on Where Does It Go? or call Seattle Public Utilities at (206) 343-8505.
When salvaging materials for reuse and recycling, be mindful about safety. Hazardous materials or situations may restrict the ability to salvage items, such as asbestos-containing tile or mastic above wood flooring. Be aware of surfaces which may contain lead based paint. Avoid cutting such surfaces, and minimize dust generation.
Construction phase
Using salvaged and recycled content materials
The key to encouraging and maintaining steady markets for salvaged and recycled materials is to integrate them into new projects. It is important to consider how to integrate salvaged materials early, during the design phase. Client Assistance Memo 336, Sustainable Building and Reuse of Building Materials, provides a comprehensive look at the necessary code considerations for integrating specific types of materials into projects. Used building materials stores stock an ever-changing variety of flooring, doors, trim, windows and other miscellaneous items.
For large projects or small, recycled-content materials can also help "close the loop" of the recycling process. Gypsum wallboard, plastic-composite deck materials, metal materials, and acoustic ceiling tiles frequently are available with recycled content. To ensure products contain recycled content, be sure to research available products and specify desired percentages of recycled content. For more information visit the City's Green Purchasing resource list or call Seattle Public Utilities at (206) 343-8505.
Minimizing waste: maximizing reuse and recycling during construction
Surplus materials
Most new construction projects will result in extra "left-over" materials. Depending on the volume, you may have a number of choices for how to reuse certain materials. Potential reuse outlets include used building material stores, on-line resources, and one-time used building material sales.
If materials can't be reused, look to optimize recycling. Recyclable materials generated during construction include clean wood, metals, gypsum wallboard, and cardboard/paper. Some waste haulers require separation of materials on the jobsite.
Others are able to provide a container for all types of "commingled" recycling, to be sorted later at an outside facility. In general, separating materials for recycling will reduce contamination and increase the amount of material actually recycled.
For comprehensive information about recycling options for different materials, look up your item on Where Does It Go? or call Seattle Public Utilities at (206) 343-8505. Assistance is available for nonstandard recycling, such as acoustic ceiling tile, drywall, porcelain, roofing, and plant/tree salvage.
Local building materials stores work together to encourage used building materials markets through the Northwest Building Salvage Network.

CHICAGO, Sept. 13 (UPI) -- Ryan Raburn drove in a season-high five runs Thursday and had a role in Cleveland's two big innings that brought about a 14-3 win over the Chicago White Sox.
The Indians stayed 1 1/2 games behind Tampa Bay in the race for the second wild card berth in the American League. Cleveland has defeated Chicago nine straight times, the Indians' most consecutive wins in the history of the rivalry.
Raburn hit a three-run homer during a four-run first inning and then finished off a seven-run fifth with a two-RBI single. Nick Swisher drove in three runs in contributing to a Cleveland attack that included 16 hits.
Corey Kluber (9-5) went five innings to get the win, his third in a row. He gave up two runs on six hits. John Danks (4-13) was mauled for six runs on nine hits in four innings, after which Charlie Leesman gave up the seven runs in the fifth without retiring a batter.

Yesterday I finally got a chance to head on over to watch the final day of the Jets Development Camp. The day mainly consisted of a 3 on 3 "tournament" that had all 42 Jets prospects on the ice at once, giving me a good chance to see who would be able to really stand out from the crowd.
Here were my thoughts on some individual players:
- Mark Scheifele looked like the guy who has been through all of this before. He was very strong with the puck and created chances with almost every possession. There was a point in time that he and his line mates held their opponents in the zone for a good 2-3 minute shift, creating chance after chance before finally putting one into the net. There were a couple times he looked a little shaky defensively, but he did not disappoint. I still think starting the season in the AHL would be the right choice for Scheifele, but I can't wait to see what he will do once he grows into an every day NHLer.
- Eric Comrie just happened to be the goalie Scheifele & Co. were facing on the elongated shift, and he put on quite the show throughout it. A 3 on 3 situation isn't exactly the best place to evaluate goaltending talent, but Comrie certainly held his own yesterday. He made a countless number of skillful saves, and looked pretty solid while doing so.
- Defenseman Cody Sol stood out to me simply because of his aggression. He really made sure to finish guys off, knock them down, get in their faces, and just looked like a real pest out there. At this point I'm not exactly sure if that's a good or a bad thing as at times it did leave his teammates out to dry, but he looked like he was really getting under some of the guys nerves.
- Julian Melchiori is a large looking fellow. He too looked like a guy who had already played a year against men, as he was able to really knock the puck off of most players stick when he wanted to. The problem is, he didn't always look like he wanted to. There were times throughout the morning that he looked like he already knew where he stood with the club, and allowed himself to become a bit of a pylon out there. He'll be with the Ice Caps once again this year, but if he can become able to use his 6'4" frame more consistently, in a few years he may be looking to compete for a spot with the big club.
- Trouba and Morrissey didn't stand out as much as I was expecting them to. Granted, 3 on 3 drills aren't exactly a defenseman's bread and butter, and Morrissey did have a beauty of a snipe to start one of the sessions, so I'm okay with what I saw. When I did make a point to watch Trouba he looked like he was quite comfortable shutting guys down and not letting them move around, which left me quite pleased. I also took note of how smooth Morrissey was on his feet. Turning, spinning, and gliding around guys quite smoothly whenever he was in trouble.
- Nic Petan is a small small guy. But what the guy lacks in size, he makes up in with pure skill and speed. Time after time he dangled and danced around anyone and everyone, setting up opportunities for both himself and his teammates. The Jets really do seem to have stolen him at number 43 in this years draft. He will clearly be back in the juniors next year, but watching his moves really had me smiling.
- Adam Lowry. What a show he put on yesterday. Try to get around him? Knocked off the puck. Try to stop him? Not happening. Far and away Adam Lowry stood out to me above any other Jet prospect yesterday. His combination of skill and physicality went unmatched all day, leaving him looking more like a player who had spent a lot of time in the AHL. About mid-way through the session, Lowry started having shifts with J.C. Lipon, and the two of them made everything look easy. They moved the puck back and forth with amazing ease and simplicity, and ended up leading their team to the "championship" for the day.
Overall, the day was really one for the big names. A lot of the mid-level, lesser-known prospects were around, but in my opinion not many truly stood out. Which is perfectly alright at this point, considering the fact that guys like Lowry, Lipon, Petan, Scheifele, Trouba, and Morrissey are starting to really make that push in the right direction.
It was pretty cool to see guys like Trouba and Morrissey out there together, almost like a brief glimpse into what the future will hold. That's the point of these camps though I guess. Most of these guys won't really be pushing for roster spots with the Jets in the immediate future, but from the look of things the "talent and skill" aspect of things may be on the way back up with players like Nic Petan. Lowry and Scheifele will make their respective cases to make the squad this season and despite all odds, and what may be best, one or both might just make it.

When Peter Fallot bought a rundown house in Canandaigua in the early 1980s, just west of M-156, it wasn't even livable.
There was no plumbing at all. The "Michigan basement" was too shallow for a person to stand.
The wiring consisted of a two-fuse electrical box with one line feeding the kitchen range and the other leading to a pair of light bulbs hanging from the rafters.
In the end, his $5,500 investment paid off, but it wasn't an easy process.
"I gave up on it a couple of times," Pete said. "It took forever. Nothing is square. Every piece of drywall is a trapezoid. It's so much easier to do a new house."
He started off by digging out the basement, pouring a concrete floor and stabilizing the foundation of the structure. He made some headway, but the kitchen stands as a testament to the off-balance nature of the place. The space above the cabinets at one end of the room is at least four inches lower than the other.
The old house has gone through a lot in the past 170 years. Many of the other houses in the once-bustling community are gone, along with the blacksmith shop that stood at the corner. Pete still finds bent horseshoe nails in that area.
Pete worked on the house for a year and a half to make it livable and started spending nights there in 1986.
A new occupant entered in December 1987 when he married Diana. It's a home she finds very comfortable.

Farmingdale State - 66, Baruch College - 57
Farmingdale, N.Y. - The Farmingdale State men's basketball team improved to 2-1 overall tonight with a 66-57 non-conference victory over Baruch (1-3). Rams junior forward AJ Matthews (Brooklyn, N.Y.) finished with game-high of 25 points, 16 rebounds and three blocks.
Farmingdale State went up 8-0 over the first four minutes, before the Bearcats' Adam Elfassi (New York, N.Y.) got the Bearcats on the board with two free throws. The Rams stayed on top over the next ten minutes and led by six with 1:08 to play in the first, before Baruch closed out the half with four points. The Rams led 27-25 at the half.
In the second, the Bearcats took their first lead of the game on a Justin Giryluk (Bayside, N.Y.) layup for a 30-29 advantage with 16:45 left to play. Senior forward Ryan Tierney (Wantagh, N.Y.) sank a jumper to put the Rams ahead, 31-30, and Farmingdale State would not trail the rest of the way as they shot 52-percent from the field in the half.
For the Rams in scoring, senior guard Joshua Smith (Deer Park, N.Y.) finished with 14 points, six assists, four steals ans six rebounds. Senior guard Dyshaun Flournoy (Brentwood, N.Y.) had eight points, three blocks and three steals. Freshman forward Ibrahim Johnson (New York, N.Y.) had seven points and four boards.
Baruch senior forward Nate Young (Brooklyn, N.Y.) posted a double-double of 19 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks. Senior guard Chris Beauchamp (Glendale, N.Y.) had 13 points.
The Rams will now face Cobleskill in the Hamilton College Thanksgiving Tournament on Saturday, November 26th at 5:00 p.m. On Sunday, November 26th, they face either Hamilton or Berkeley at 1:00 p.m. or 3:00 p.m. Live stats and Live Video are available for both days.

Another set of numbers from our new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll: 60 percent say President Obama inherited the current economic conditions, compared with 26 percent who blame his policies for the state of the economy.
That's a slight change from Aug. 2011, when 56 percent said the president inherited the economy, versus 33 percent who singled out his policies.
Yet when asked in a separate question whether the president's policies have helped or hurt the economy, 33 percent say they've hurt; 32 percent say they've helped; and another 32 percent answer that they haven't made much of a difference.
The full NBC/WSJ poll -- which was conducted of 1,000 adults and which has a margin of error of plus-minus 3.1 percentage points -- is released at 6:30 pm ET.

The penalties for failure to file the verification statement are $25 per day to a maximum of $2,500. The CRA used to be very lenient and did not usually charge the penalty if form T1135 was filed late. However, CRA's administrative position changed several years ago and there are several cases now which have gone to taxpayer relief and the courts and the results have not been favorable to the taxpayer.

I found this man on 7th Avenue in Park Slope. He was leaning heavily on his cane, looking down, wearing a grimaced face. I felt bad for him, so I smiled and waved when I walked past.
His face changed completely. He lit up, smiled wide, and gave me a cheery greeting. There was nothing forced about it. He seemed like a man who went through life looking for the smallest excuses to be happy.
I walked 50 feet down the sidewalk, turned around, and walked back to him. "I want to take your photo," I told him, "because of how big you smiled when I walked by."
He said: "Well I saw someone smiling at me who I didn't even know. So I thought: 'By God! I Better do something!"

CyberLink PowerDirector 11 is the latest edition of this popular, feature-packed consumer video editor.
As with previous releases, the program provides everything you need to create professional videos, complete with soundtrack, transitions, special effects and more, before exporting your project to a file, sharing it online, or burning it to disc, complete with your own custom menus.
And this is no minor update. Rather, PowerDirector 11 includes some very significant additions which will make a real difference to the editing experience, and this will be obvious from the moment you launch the program.
There's no longer any need to waste an age manually browsing lengthy movies, for instance, identifying the key sections you'd like to import, because PowerDirector 11's new content-aware editing can now do this for you. In just a click you have the program analyze any clip, quickly picking out the important scenes - the shots with zoom, pan, motion, faces and more. All you have to do is select these with the mouse, and import them for further work: much quicker and easier than ever before.
And your subsequent edits should also be much faster with PowerDirector 11, as the program now properly optimizes itself for your graphic technology (AMD VISION, nVidia GeForce or Intel 3rd Generation Core). While new multi GPGPU support means the program can, say, use the GPU processor in an integrated and additional graphics card to deliver even more performance (CyberLink quote a 38% speed increase as typical).
If you like to live on the leading edge then one of the ways you might use this extra power is via the program's new end-to-end support for 4K Ultra HD resolution; 4,096 x 3,072 (60p/60i) or 4,096 x 2,304 (60p/ 60i). Whether you want to import 4K footage directly from the latest cameras, edit it more effectively or publish to that resolution yourself, PowerDirector 11 has you covered.
But if you're more interested in simple, down-to-earth improvements which everyone can use, don't worry - the program has plenty of those, too.
A new flexibility in the interface, for instance, means it's now easy to adjust the media room thumbnail size and timeline track height, so giving you a much clearer look at exactly what you're doing.
A new "Customize Keyboard Hotkeys" dialog displays all the program's hotkeys, and allows you to tweak them to suit your precise needs.
The Titles, Menus, Picture-in-Picture and Particle Effects designers now all run full-screen to help you produce more accurate results.
And in the fourth quarter of 2012, CyberLink will also release PowerDirector Metro, their first Windows 8 tablet editor, allowing you to do quick work outdoors before importing and continuing your project in PowerDirector proper.
Please note, PowerDirector is available in multiple versions. This one, PowerDirector Ultra, contains all the core video editing features, but omits some of the premium content you get with the Ultimate, Ultimate Suite and Director Suite builds: sample NewBlueFX motion and paint effects, assorted premium content packs, bonus colour correction and sound design software tools, and more.
Faster, smarter and more powerful than ever, CyberLink PowerDirector 11 Ultra is a significant upgrade which includes an excellent mix of new features, and is still one of the best video editors around.

Well not really of course. I am still using PM but have been trying out other clients recently : Emclient, Pegasus and of course Thunderbird. But none of them really do as well all round as PM.
The biggest problem I see is that some emails are just blank these days and have to be either sanitized or viewed in browser.
Then I had a eureka moment, scripts ! I assigned the 'view in browser' script to button 1 so that to view a non displaying email all I do now is click the number 1 button instead of remembering where in the menu bar the option is.
I might be writing this to myself of course but if there is anybody out there then please let me know.

Chipmakers Intel and AMD don't appear to be overly concerned by ever growing tablet sales.
During last week's conference calls, both outfits concluded that tablet sales won't have much of an effect on their core business.
However, tablet sales seem to have had a negative effect on netbook sales, but they were declining even before tablets came along. Intel CEO Paul Otellini noted that discretionary spending was shifting towards netbooks instead of tablets, which basically means that people are buying toys are now choosing tablets.
AMD VP Rick Bergman believes tablets did not cannibalize PC sales in any significant way. He stressed that AMD views tablets as a market segment complementary to PCs.
Both Intel and AMD have tablet oriented chips, based on Bobcat and Atom cores, but neither can match ARM cores in terms of power efficiency and low cost. However, both companies are focusing on new form factors that could liven up the notebook market, such as ultrabooks and APU based ultraportables.

Eric Scmidt is writing a book about the internet and everything called The New Digital Age: Reshaping the Future of Emerging Technologies. It's not like he's busy doing anything as the Chairman of Google.
Co-authored with director of Google Ideas, Jared Cohen, the book will be published on April 23 by Alfred Knopf Publishers. Here's a sample of the slew of topics it covers:
Who will be more powerful in the future, the citizen or the state? Will technology make terrorism easier or more difficult to carry out? How much privacy and security will we have to give up to be part of the new digital age? How will war, diplomacy, and revolution change when everyone is connected? What will be the impact of having both a full virtual life online, and a physical one?

- Wally Sychak, the father of Bret Michaels, says his son is "doing good" and is speaking after being rushed to the ICU with a massive brain hemorrhage last night:
"I talked to him this morning,. He sounded upbeat and positive but they had him sedated," Sychak says, "But he's doing good. He sounded like my son." [RadarOnline]
- Michaels, if you missed it, was rushed to the hospital and placed in critical condition last night after suffering a massive brain hemorrhage; there is no word yet on what caused the bleeding, and he is expected to remain in the hospital under observation for the time being. [USWeekly]
- Many of Michaels' reality show co-stars are wishing him well: Taya Parker, the winner of Rock of Love Bus, says that "Bret's determination and drive have always been one of his most endearing qualities. His love for his family and his fans makes his heart a heart that's larger than life. Bret has overcome many adversities and struggles in his life, and he always handles himself with dignity. I could not be more proud of him, the person he is, and the loves that drive his life." [RadarOnline]
- While Donald Trump, who works with Michaels on Celebrity Apprentice, had this to say: "I am deeply saddened to hear about Bret Michaels and my thoughts and prayers are with him and his family at this time. He's a great competitor and champion and I hope he will be fine." [RadarOnline]

- Charlie Sheen and his wife: not living together, but not planning to divorce, either. [USWeekly]
- Says a source: "Brooke's stuff is still at the house. She spent the last two days living at a spa, but she hasn't moved out and she hasn't split with Charlie. She's absolutely crazed that her children's father would shave his head, put on a disguise, wearing pajama bottoms and come out of a hooker's house so that some day his children will see this." [TMZ]
- Kristin Cavallari says there might actually be another season of The Hills, if you care: "I would like to do it. I'm in such a rhythm with things and I'm having a great time. We're just now starting to get into some really good juicy stuff with a few new people. So I think we could do another 12 episodes and make it pretty good." [E!]
- "It's actually sort of stressful. Not like actual sex, not as I know it. You're standing with no pants, hunched over someone but without the lust."-Russell Brand, on filming sex scenes. [TheSun]
- Jennifer Lopez says she'd like to be a guest on Glee at some point: "I sat down with [show creator] Ryan Murphy and we talked me doing something on Glee. We want to. We want to do it." [People]
- "It has been a dream of mine since I saw 'Star Trek' and 'Star Wars' as a young boy to Taser some one on film."-Sam Rockwell. And by "taser someone on film," I'm pretty sure he means, "make out with Hortense." Dreams do come true, Sam! Call me! [PageSix]
- Britney Spears' father, Jamie, allegedly laughed when he heard the rumor that he was demanding that Britney's nipples be covered at all times. The story is apparently not true. Or, as TMZ's headline says, she is "free to go free boobin." [TMZ]
- "Seeing his films, you'd think he is this weird, dark, intense guy. But I don't live with a dark person. He's really good at life, very good at going to the park and having a good time. He's also very organized. He doesn't live in chaos. His parents are teachers and they have an easy sense of order and discipline."-Rachel Weisz, on her husband, Darren Aronofsky. [ShowbizSpy]
- T.I. reportedly "stormed out" of an ESPN party after he was told that the V.I.P. section was full. [PageSix]
- If you'd like to take a look at Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen's 20 million dollar mansion in progress, here's your chance. [NYDN]
- Meanwhile, a source claims that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are planning on living together, as well: ""Kris has ratcheted up her plan to pin Rob down. She's been house-hunting in L.A. with the intention of getting Rob to move in with her." I don't know. This kind of sounds like they'll be moving to 123 Fake Street, Fakesville USA, you know? [ShowbizSpy]

- Catherine Hardwicke, who is directing the upcoming Red Riding Hood, says she is trying to get Julie Christie to play the part of the grandmother: "We are trying to entice her to play the sexy, bohemian grandmother. She lives outside the walled town in a cool tree house. She's no old granny with an old nightcap. She's a hot, interesting grandmother." [EW]
- Peter Sarsgaard says that he and brother-in-law Jake Gyllenhaal didn't speak for 10 days after Sarsgaard got a little too carried away on the set of Jarhead, after he was forced to do a second take after being injured in the first one: "When they came on take two, they looked like they were coming just as hard, so I hit Jake as hard as I could in the windpipe and kind of claimed it was an accident and stuff. And they came for a third time, and it was really hard again, and I just... I lost it." [DailyExpress]
- "I am interested in paradoxes: celebrity, our response to it, excess, disasters, glamour, beauty. Yes, my images are outrageous, but I never set out to shock. When one of the most downloaded videos on the internet is [the former hostage] Daniel Pearl's beheading, there's nothing you can do to out-shock that. I want people to be stunned. I don't want it to look like contemporary 'art', which often people don't understand. I'm trying to speak a visual language as powerful as the written or verbal that people understand."-David LaChapelle [TimesOnline]
- "If all I ate were salads ever day, I'd shoot myself. Who cares if you can fit in your skinny jeans if you can't enjoy life and have something good to eat?"-Kristen Davis[People]

Andrew and Frances are my mother's maternal grandparents, my great-grandparents.
Andrew and Frances were married about 1873, in a Catholic parish in Chometowo; and I'm going to work with a contact in the near future in order to obtain a copy of their marriage record. There is some discrepancy with Frances' maiden name. A record abstract that I located for Andrew's and Frances' marriage lists Frances' last name as Prochowiak.
The marriage abstract information that I was able to locate indicates that Andrew's father was Valentinus and his mother was Josepha. Frances' father was listed as Adalbertus and her mother listed as Marianna.
Chometowo is in northwestern Poland and was previously part of Germany prior to 1945.
Andrew and Frances arrived in the US sometime about 1880 and seemed to have settled directly into the St. Anthony parish neighborhood. Their first child, Frank, was born in Germany on May 17, 1876.
Their second child was likely Rose. Her death certificate states her birth as June 16, 1883; however, her marriage record to Kasper Koralewski from St. Anthony's parish in 1900 indicates she was was born about 1880.
A 1892 city directory for Toledo lists Andrew as living on Vance Street. (I do not know who the other Andrew Przybylski on Blum Street is.)
Five more children were born to Andrew and Frances:
- Stanislaw, was born in Toledo, Ohio on April 18, 1881
- Victoria, born December 19, 1882, in Toledo, Ohio
- Anastasia, born February 23, 1889, in Toledo, Ohio
- Adam and Eva (twins), born May 14, 1893, in Toledo, Ohio
Adam died at about six months of age on October 9, 1893 and was buried in Calvary Cemetery on October 10. His death record through St. Anthony's is transcribed below:
Date of death 9 Oct 1893, date of burial 10 Oc 1893, Adam Przybylski, fil. leg. Andrew Przybylski et Franscae Przybylski, 5 mos. nescitur, Calvary
I've transcribed his burial record below:
Adam Przybylski
1637 Vance Street
Age 5 months
White male
Disease: Intestinal Derangement
Date of decease: 8 Oct.
Date of Burial: 10 Oct.
Buried Grave 6, Lot 133, Section 30.
About six months after Adam passed away, Andrew died. His death was also recorded through St. Anthony's death registry and is transcribed below:
Andreas Przybylski, maritus Fransicae Pryzbylski, 51 amorium, sepultus in Calvaria.
Andrew also was buried at Calvary Cemetery. His burial record is transcribed below:
Andrew Przybylski
1637 Vance St.
Age 50 years, 10 months.
Disease: Jaundice.
Died 26 January 1894.
Buried 28 January 1894.
Buried Grave 4, Lot 176, Section 30
Frances does not seem to have remarried and remained in the home at 1637 Vance Street for a number of years per an 1897 Toledo city directory, the 1910 census (which also indicates that Anastasia and her first husband, Stanley Lawecki, were living here as well), and the 1920 census (which also indicates that she was living with her daughter, Eva and her husband, Stanley Hejnicki and their son, Leonard).
Frances also lost two other children before she had passed away:
- Rose, who passed away in 1916 from tuberculosis.
- Stanislaw, who passed away in 1919 after an accidental amputation in an industrial incident.
Frances passed away on May 12, 1922 in Toledo. Her residence on the death certificate is listed as Frank Seija's (husband of her daughter, Victoria). She is buried in Calvary Cemetery.
Frances Przybylski
1451 Avondale
Age 62
Cause of death: Cirrhosis of Liver
Date of Interment May 15, 1922.
Grave 2602, Range or Lot 17, Grave 3.
Undertaker: Czolgosz.

A toddler was taken to Longmont United Hospital after falling from a second-floor apartment window Tuesday, according to police.
Longmont Police Cmdr. Jeff Satur said the 3-year-old boy was conscious, breathing and crying when taken to the hospital by the Longmont Fire Department. A CAT scan and X-ryas were negative, according to police.
Police concluded in their investigation that the boy's fall was accidental, Satur said. Police reported the mother was walking out of the room when the boy pushed the screen out. When she turned back she saw the boy halfway out the window.
The incident happened at building 11 of 4505 Redmond Drive, in southwestern Longmont. Witnesses say the boy fell about 15 feet onto a landscaped area that featured both rocks and grass.
"The kid was banging his head against the screen and it popped out," said Dakota Dial, 16, who witnessed the incident from across the street. "It looked like he was just playing around. Whe he fell out he was holding on to the window sill for a little bit, but then let go."
Dial said the boy fell on his side and didn't look like he was hurt, except that his mouth was bleeding.
One witness who called 911 said the child "wasn't unconscious or lethargic, but was bleeding from the mouth," and had bruises on his back.
Marshall Robertson, 21, who lives in the same building of the apartment complex, was across the street at the corner of Redmond and Peck Drive when the incident occurred.
"I heard one of my friends say, 'Oh my God, that kid just fell from that window,'" Robertson said. "He seemed alright. He was crying and he was on his face when I got there."
The boy was transported to the hospital in an ambulance.
Times-Call staff writer Scott Rochat contributed to his story.

Bruce played Prove It All Night with '78 guitar intro... Why is that a big deal?
The Bruce world woke up this morning to a sensation. No, Clarence wasn't resurrected from the dead. No, Electric Nebraska wasn't released. No, Bruce didn't reunite Steel Mill. So what happened? Well, Bruce decided to spend a few minutes of the show last night in Barcelona playing a guitar solo as an intro to "Prove It All Night". But why is that a sensation? He usually plays several guitar solos during his shows. Not to mention that Nils Lofgren makes stadiums go wild with his equilibristic guitar playing during songs like "Youngstown" and "Because the Night".
The guitar intro to "Prove It All Night" was first heard at the first show of the Darkness Tour in 1978. In the beginning it was hardly worth mentioning. It was over before it really got started. But during the course of the tour it evolved into a frantic, majestic 3-4 minute guitar exhibition that made audiences drop their jaws wherever the tour went. And thanks to several live radio broadcasts that were turned into classic bootlegs, the song and thereby the solo reached an ever-growing audience of Bruce fans all over the world. The piercing, and yet incredibly melodic solo became the symbol of a tour that by many is regarded as the highlight of Bruce's career... which, to a lot of us, is pretty much the same as saying the highlight of music itself.
The story of the "Prove It All Night" '78 guitar intro is not complete without mentioning the piano part that preceded and accompanied it. Roy Bittan's foreboding piano notes were the perfect expression of how something dangerous and yet both spiritually and physically arousing was about to happen. After a couple of minutes of this, in its own right, more and more accomplished piece of music, he would settle into an inciting groove while Bruce got himself and the Fender Esquire ready. That moment, just before Bruce's first scorching touch of the strings, just before the explosion, was almost as exciting as the guitar solo itself. A solo which was just the first of three raging guitar assaults that the, on the surface, slightly insignificant song would be the launching pad for, before its climactic ending 7-8 minutes later.
The "Prove It All Night" guitar intro was played a few times during the first part of the River Tour in 1980, but until last night it was firmly connected to the Darkness Tour. Last night's resurrection of the solo is an opportunity for several new generations of Bruce fans to get a sense of living in legendary times. To finally be able to stand up to those oldtimers who experienced the Darkness Tour first hand and refute their indulgent shrugs that, better than words could ever do, made it clear that "yeah, Bruce may still be pretty good, but you should have seen him in '78".
Time will tell if the "Prove It All Night" intro is back to stay or if this was a one-off experience. As great as that moment was, no one who heard it can deny that it would need a lot more work to come close to the Winterland or Passaic '78 versions. But maybe this was just Bruce teasing his fans and we'll never hear another attempt, or maybe he'll get serious about bringing it back and once again let it evolve into perfection.
Whatever the case, what happened last night was magic whether you were at Estadi Olimpic or not, and the first night in Barcelona of the 2012 Wrecking Ball Tour has already secured its place in the Bruce history books. Dreams came true, and it was more than nice.

When I peeked into the ice cream freezer at the Latino Market, I saw amongst the usual popsicles and choco-bananas, something new.
"What's that in the plastic bag?" I asked Carlos.
"Charamusca," he said.
At 50 cents each, I decided to bring one home and give it a try. "Charamusca" in Mexico is a twisted caramel candy – but in El Salvador "Charamusca" is what they call a type of frozen treat. They come in various flavors, (the one I bought seemed to be coconut milk), but they're frozen in plastic baggies.
Carlos showed me how to eat it: You simply bite a corner of the plastic off with your teeth, and then work it out through the hole while sucking on it.
These would be easy to make with kids over the summer: Just pour juice or a homemade fruit smoothie into plastic baggies, tie closed, and freeze. (I recommend eating them outdoors. They get sticky!)
While trying to find out more about "charamuscas", I stumbled upon this odd music video. Say what you want about Salvadorans, but they know how to have fun.

Bicycling boom
The East Coast Greenway bike trail will soon run the length of the Eastern Seaboard in the U.S. Switching from car seat to saddle is all the more exciting in a country that idolizes the car.
The morning rain has stopped and the asphalt gleams silvery black. The cars heading into Boston on Commercial Street are all backed up. Suited office workers, students in jeans and rain jackets, and a lone retiree in sportswear and helmet shoot past on bikes. When a UPS truck pulls into the parking lane, the cyclists continue unconcerned – they've got their own lane between the parked cars and the sidewalk, and a curb to stop cars from blocking their way. Boston has discovered bicycling.
In 2006, the U.S. publication Bicycling Magazine voted Boston one of the country's worst cities for cyclists: no bike paths, but potholes and inconsiderate motorists. Ten years later, the East Coast city found itself among the top twenty, ahead of New Orleans and Pittsburgh. "We want to make at least the top ten," says Gina Fiandaca, the city's transportation commissioner – San Francisco and Seattle lead the pack. So Boston built more than 160 bike paths and created clear signage. Now cycles wait for the light in their own zone at busy intersections, and the rental bike system launched in 2011 provides roughly 2000 bikes between the downtown area and the suburbs, as well as at Harvard University. Over 14 000 cyclists already use it, and the goal is to quadruple that number in the next eleven years.
The city's planned switch from cars to bikes was based on a citizens' survey and trips the transportation commissioner made to Copenhagen and other model cycling cities in Europe. Fiandaca, 53, was impressed that people simply jumped on their bikes when they had an errand to run. Quite unlike Americans, "it would never even occur to them to get in their car to go to the store." But downtown Boston is far easier to get around by bike than in a car, and you always find parking. "Until recently, cycling was seen in the U.S. more as a fitness activity than mobility," says Fiandaca. Now it's also about riding for fun, at least on the East Coast Greenway, the cycle route that runs through the city and along the verdant banks of the Charles River, before hitting Commercial Street and proceeding via Atlantic Avenue to Boston Harbor.
Cycling has been seen in the U.S. more as a fitness activity than mobility
By 2030, the Greenway is expected to cover some 4800 kilometers and link 15 East Coast states from Maine on the border to Canada to Florida on the Gulf of Mexico. Just like the Pacific Coast Bicycle Route across the country, the East Coast Greenway will connect towns, rural areas and big cities. In the north, it follows the rocky coastline, heads south through Boston and Manhattan, along rail trails in Connecticut and along the wooded Mount Vernon Trail to George Washington's house in Virginia, through Charleston and Miami to the beaches of Key West. It's not about speed, it's about relaxed, traffic-free travel in nature, being out in the wind and the sun.
"For experiencing America, two wheels are much better than four," says Dennis Markatos-Soriano, executive director of the East Coast Greenway Alliance in Durham, North Carolina. "At pedaling speed, we see, hear, and smell the flora and fauna," adds the man in charge of ensuring that all sections are developed and signposted. Some 1500 kilometers are currently complete, and already more than ten million people use the paths for walking or cycling every year. Here on the East Coast, the American love affair with cars seems to be cooling off.
In Baltimore, Chris Bishop supplies the necessary cycling equipment. Since 2008, his one-man operation, Bishop Bikes, has been building steel frames and shipping them as far as Europe and Asia. He greets his clients with a broad smile and a relaxed handshake before leading them down the basement steps of his house into his shop. Half-finished frames strapped into machines line the wall alongside massive tool cabinets and a workbench. "The difference between a nice frame and a great frame is really hand work," says Bishop, who rode many bikes into the ground as a bike messenger. He uses only hand-picked steel and brazes his frames rather then welding them.
"You cannot fast-track something like building a bike. It takes time." A Bishop bike – an elegant model or a sports bike – requires roughly 80 hours of work and has a four-digit price tag. Bishop's award-winning, lightweight, retro-style models are visibly influenced by classic French frame builders, Italian racing bike builders, and modern American manufacturers. Bishop comes up with his best ideas when he's out riding in and around Baltimore, where the Greenway follows picturesque waterways and you pass small business and corner shops, where people still like to have a chat.
Some 1900 kilometers further south, the Greenway runs along the Atlantic coast of Florida. Palms line the waterfront in Palm Beach, luxury yachts bob on the water. In West Palm Beach across the bridge, nearly half the inhabitants are African-American or Latino. Owning a bike here can be the key to happiness and freedom, and it's often Jack The Bike Man, as everyone calls Jack Hairston, 77, who provides this key. In his large shop and workshop, bikes of all sizes fill several levels of shelving. All of them are used but many are as good as new. Every year, just before Christmas, Jack opens his shop to hundreds of low-income families in the area and gives the children a bike and helmet as a gift. Hairston also regularly donates bikes to elementary schools, which reward kids who show particularly good behavior and work hard in school with a bike. He does what he can, employing alcoholics who have subsequently stopped drinking, and people with autism who wouldn't otherwise be given a job. "If someone needs help, you help them," he says, "that's how I was raised."
In fact, a broken bike once saved Jack Hairston's life. While struggling with depression and using a crutch because he suffered from pain that no doctor could explain, the former addiction therapist often just sat on his front porch staring into space. "And then a little kid had the nerve to fall off of his bike in the public street in front of my house," recalls Jack with a snigger that instantly makes him 60 years younger. Hairston hobbled over with his tools and in no time at all, had repaired the faulty brakes. The young Latino rode away. The next day, two of the kids' friends asked Hairston for help. Soon, his yard was full of bikes, the pain had vanished. All he needs today are cushioned sneakers in which to get around. Neither burglaries nor hurricanes nor age have made him consider stopping what he does because he remembers too well what it felt like to ride his own first bike – and the feeling of freedom that came with it.

Time for LeBron to get a little nasty
LeBron James is about to enter uncharted territory in the Best Player in the World business.
He needs to backpack the Miami Heat to consecutive victories in Games 6 and 7 of the NBA Finals to secure not just back-to-back titles but also achieve something never accomplished by Michael Jordan, Larry Bird and many other NBA luminaries: rebound from a 3-2 Finals deficit to win it all.
Magic Johnson's Lakers in 1988, Hakeem Olajuwon's Rockets in 1994 and Kobe Bryant's Lakers in 2010 were the only teams to do it in the current 2-3-2 format. (And, OK, Jordan's Bulls never let a Finals go past six games in six tries.)
It's going to take every bit of will and skill James possesses. It's going to take Heat Coach Erik Spoelstra not getting outsmarted by Gregg Popovich, who has pushed all the right buttons thus far. It's going to take help from every teammate.
And for LeBron, it's also going to take an important intangible still in its infancy stage:
A ruthless side. A nail-in-the-coffin, foot-on-the-throat-of-your-opponent persona that all the best players in the game had before him.
He can't beat the Spurs alone twice at home, of course. But provided his teammates show up Tuesday night at AmericanAirlines Arena in the fourth elimination game Miami has faced in a little more than a year, LeBron has to refine the ornery, take-no-prisoners part of his game.
He's already acquired every other attribute of a champion.
Hubie Brown has seen and done everything in his seven decades of basketball. In his first assistant job, he coached Kareem and the Big O in Milwaukee. Hubie later coached against Magic, Larry, Michael and Kobe.
When I asked the ESPN analyst and Hall of Famer what he really thought about LeBron James the other day, he didn't spare praise.
"I've never seen a player who can do more than him, who does everything so well with the size, strength and speed of LeBron has since, oh, '73," said Brown, alluding to his first season on an NBA staff.
"Magic was unbelievable with the passing and the peripheral vision, okay. But this guy, with his speed added to it, we've never seen anything like it.
"Name three players in the league right now faster with the ball end to end."
I stalled after Russell Westbrook and John Wall.
But then I thought hard about the great players I've either seen or come to know the past three decades in the NBA and one of the traits they all had in common: They enjoyed crushing an opponent psychologically.
In jock parlance, this is called killer instinct. It's making sure the other guy stays down when a big blow is landed.
Kobe and Michael delighted in burying teams in the playoffs. Magic. Bird. Reggie Miller. Shaq. Hakeem. If they sniffed fear or frailty, they jumped on their opponent.
LeBron is still learning that it's okay to be the bully in certain situations on the court, that being disliked immensely by an opponent's fan base is actually a sign of begrudging respect -- not universal disapproval.
Memo to @KingJames in 140 characters or less: It's not just OK to rule by fear as an elite athlete; sometimes it's a necessity.
The Spurs were wobbling after the Heat's Game 4 blowout in the second half. LeBron came out a day later and stated his team needed to break the pattern of not winning two games in a row during the postseason, which went back to the second round against Chicago.
In the Eastern Conference finals, the Heat had a perfect opportunity to bury Indiana in Game 6 and give a gimpy-kneed Dwyane Wade a few more days off before the Finals. Miami couldn't do it. The series went seven games, and the Spurs got extra rest prior to stealing Game 1 on the Heat's floor.
Maybe the Spurs have captured magic in the aging limbs and legs of their three 30-something stars. Maybe the notion of a Heatpeat was too much for this Miami supporting cast.
But if LeBron James really cares about growing his legacy in the Best Player in the Game business, the time is now for his desire -- and his on-court demeanor -- to rise to a level of no-holds-barred nasty to get the job done and another championship won.
