More efficient roofing can translate to lower energy costs
SUMMARY: High temperatures are driving up electric bills, but certain roofing products may help reduce cooling costs. Some roofers offer shingles designed with lighter colors and specific granule placement to reflect sunlight, rather than absorb heat. Partnering with 3M, these shingles improve efficiency. Additionally, a “solar hide” beneath the roof acts as a reflective barrier to reduce attic heat, though it’s relatively expensive. Combining these roofing solutions with effective HVAC systems and well-sealed windows can significantly lower electric bills year-round. Lighter colored shingles also help keep homes and attics cooler than darker ones, even with standard shingles.

SUMMARY: In this week’s Outdoor Adventures, Chelsea discusses preparing firearms for the upcoming gun season. She emphasizes the importance of cleaning her deer rifle, which had been unused since last season. To clean it, she used cleaning rods and a fabric patch soaked in Rim oil, removing dirt and grime from the barrel. After cleaning the bolt, she confirmed the rifle was sighted in by shooting a few rounds for accuracy. Chelsea’s husband, Wesley, also cleaned his shotgun in preparation for duck season, which requires more disassembly. Both firearms are now ready for use in their respective hunting seasons.

The four-day course includes an online portion and covers essential skills, requiring participants to complete specific swimming tasks. Classes are scheduled for late November and December, with costs of $225 for members and $300 for non-members. Registration is open until December 26th, with forms available through the YMCA.

SUMMARY: Dozens of soldiers from the 177th Armored Brigade at Camp Shelby participated in the annual holiday ruck march to collect food for families in need. Despite rainy weather, the soldiers marched several kilometers along the Long Leaf Trace, carrying non-perishable food donations to the Edward Street Fellowship Center. This effort, now in its eighth year, resulted in over 12,200 pounds of food being collected to support local families during the holiday season. The initiative emphasizes the importance of giving back to the community, especially in challenging times when many are struggling to afford basic necessities.
