Video: Bergen County's pivotal places in the American Revolution

Bergen County has two historic sites that recall a time in November 1776 when the fate of the American Revolution hung in the balance, Fort Lee Historic Park and New Bridge Landing.

Emerson's historic DeBaun House, which dates to the 1770s, is being torn down after restoration attempts fellshort.

The Dutch-style home and the land on which it sits are leased by its owner, American Legion Post 269, to the county's Housing Development Corp. for $1 a year, under the terms of a 99-year contract that began in 2014. As part of the agreement, the county built 14 affordable-housing units for disabled veterans behind the structure.

John Hogan, commander of the American Legionpost, said the DeBaun House will be demolished in early November, although no date has been set.

In its place, the American Legion plans tobuild a Colonial-style building that will have four one-bedroom apartments, adding to the 14 units for veterans already on the site.

Hogan said every effort was made to save the building, especially by Councilwoman Jill McGuire. Dry roton the exterior, which was hidden by siding installed a couple of years ago, was just "too severe," he said. And a frozen pipe caused a large water leak and extensive interior damage upstairs.

The spot had been used as a meeting place for veterans since World War I, Hogan said. It was also used as a community space over the years, hostingweddings, parties and even dance lessons for the younger kids in town.

"This house saw the development of our nation," Hogan said. "It witnessed American soldiers representing 13 colonies, fighting for a dream of a free nation, who visited the DeBaun House for provisions to sustain their struggle. American soldiers came from what is now known as Soldier Hill."

McGuire said she had been hopefulthe Housing Authority of Bergen County would fulfill its original intention to restore the structure for the American Legion, but the restoration will not occur. She said she greatly respects the members of the American Legion and their desire to have their own meeting space after not having a proper space for years.

"I understand that the decision they have been forced to make in this matter has been made with great difficulty," McGuire said. "With that being said, I will be very saddened when the DeBaun House is demolished, as its another piece of our rich history that will disappear forever."

Last year, officialsbrainstormed ways to save at least part of the dilapidated building. When the Emerson post entered into the agreement with the county in 2014, the Dutch-style DeBaun House was to be restored, but a further look at the building changed those plans.

The borough received a letter in 2019 from the county Housing Authority that said rehabilitation of the building was "not feasible." Architectural firm Connolly & Hickey, of Cranford, assessed the building in 2015, concluding that renovations would cost around $985,000.

The county agreed to maintain the site until the organization proposed an alternative use acceptable to the borough.

The DeBaun House is not eligible for the New Jersey or National Register of Historic Places due to many alternations made over the years. It was, however, listed on the Bergen County Historic Sites Survey for the borough in 1981-1982 and the 2019 Historic Sites List Update conducted by the Emerson Historic Preservation Committee

Improvements in net sales in the Siding segment compared to the corresponding prior year periods are the result of increased sales volume, increased price, and improved product mix. Increased Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the corresponding period in prior year, is the net effect of higher revenue and increased costs for raw materials, freight, maintenance, and higher investments in sales and marketing. Costs associated with the capacity expansion project underway in Houlton, Maine increased in the third quarter, contributing to a $3 million decline in Adjusted EBITDA compared to the prior year quarter.

As Nova Scotia moves to achieve net-zero greenhouse gasemissions by 2050, researchers and advocates say the province should tap into an underappreciated piece of public infrastructure: private buildings.

In Nova Scotia, nearly half of those emissions come from residential and non-residential buildings. It is due to the province's high proportion of older buildings, oil furnaces and carbon-intensive energy grid.

In places like Halifax, the figure is even higher. Seventy per cent of the municipality's emissions come from buildings.

A recent report from Efficiency Canada estimated that it will take nearly a century and a half at current rates to make the country's existing low-rise residential buildings more energy efficient.

With a need to reduce emissions, officials and organizations in Nova Scotia are putting forward projects and policies that could help pick up the pace.

One potential model for retrofits is being proposed for an apartment building on Lawrence Street in Halifax.

Nick Rudnicki, one of the managing directors of the ReCover initiative, said the simple building is the study site for a project that would use modular panels to upgrade the building in a month or less.

"We studied it to heck last spring, and we determined that we could build panels that contained the windows, already had all the siding installed, had all the insulation installed, and attach them to the exterior of the building."

This retrofit would make the building net zero without requiring tenants to move out during renovations.

The speed of the approach would accelerate the pace of retrofitting, but it does have one significant barrier.

"There's just the sheer cost of it at the moment the risk that's sort of baked inby it not being a proven concept yet," said Rudnicki.

"You go to lending agencies, you go to granting agencies in the public and private sector, and they're like, 'We don't have paperwork for this.'"

The concept has been proven in other places. However, the ReCover initiative is following a Dutch model called Energiesprong, whereby modular panels, plus rooftop solar arrays and heating upgrades, have been used to make public housing net zero in that country.

Similar projects are also being tried in other countries, including in Ottawa, where a social housing provider has partnered with Natural Resources Canada on a pilot project involving the installation of prefabricated panels and solar panels on four townhouses.

Rudnicki said he hopes to see more policymakers supporting these kinds of initiatives, including adjusting the funding structure to support extensiveretrofits.

In Halifax, the municipality is looking at ways to encourage larger retrofitsas part of the city's emissions reduction strategy.

Kevin Boutilier, clean energy specialist with the city's environment and climate change division, said in order to meet targets of a 75 per cent reduction in emissions by 2030, and net zero by 2050, the municipality will have to do deep retrofits (meaning a 50 per cent reduction in energy demand) on all residential and non-residential buildings by 2040.

In July, regional council approved a pilot project that aims to help the city meet this goal, which will operate similar to the Solar City initiative. The city would coverthe upfront costs of solar panels and residents would pay them back over 10 years.

Boutilier says the details are still being worked out, but it will likely cover upgrades such as heat pumps, insulationand transitions to less carbon-intensive heating fuel. The pilot project will also create a position to help residents navigate the retrofit process.

The project will fund a maximum of 50 homes at approximately $70,000 each, for a total of $3.5 million. Boutilier said the price tagreflects the fact that they want homeowners to do a full retrofitrather than choosing simpler options such as heat pumps.

"We really want to offer the full package so that the average payback of all the items together is reasonable to property owners."

But in order to meet the city's targets, retrofits will have to scale up significantly from the project's 50 homes to roughly 5,000 a year. "We don't see the municipality as a bank for that scale," said Boutilier.

He noted that the municipality has also received grant funding to look into how the city could partner with third-party institutions to offer funding for more retrofits. Thatcould include options like the modular approach ReCover is developing.

"We're 100 per cent open to the technologies that may come to light in the next couple of years," said Boutilier.

An open letter signed by a number of Nova Scotiaorganizations is also calling for measures at the provincial level, including the adoption of a net-zero building code by 2022, and the elimination of on-site fossil fuels from existing buildings by 2030, with a particular focus on low-income homeowners.

Changes are also needed nationally, said Brendan Haley, policy director with Efficiency Canada.

"To meet [Canada's] climate change goals, we really have to retrofit buildings at a scale that has never before been achieved."

Rather than being considered as one-offindividual projects, Haley said retrofitting should be thought of as upgrading the country's infrastructure.

Thinking of retrofits in this way could not only help Canadians understand the collective impact of buildings, but could also help fund upgrades, Haley said for instance, by grouping a bunch of retrofits together so that they can be financed collectively.

Even with policies in place, funding retrofits for the country's buildings would be expensive.

Efficiency Canada estimates it would cost up to $32 billion a yearover the next three decades. Nonetheless it is essentialfor the country to meet its commitments on, and prepare for, the effects of climate change, Haley said.

"Something we're really going to have to think about in the future is the role of buildings and adaptation to climate impacts," he said.

While the retrofit goals proposed by Efficiency Canada and those set in places like Halifax are ambitious, Haley said they are achievable, provided the collective impact of individual buildings is acknowledged.

In our extreme South Florida weather, the importance of a structurally sound roof cannot be understated. One Miami Gardens roofing company is setting the standard for service and showing how important it is to cover your community.

Supreme Roofing and Construction has been owned by Deric T. Smith, a Miami Gardens native, for over 15 years. Their products and services include shingles, low slopes, rubber, tile and metal roofs; installation of windows, shutters and doors, and construction of block masonry; rebuilding and repointing chimneys, cleaning gutters, vinyl siding and attic ventilation. Serving Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, they offer in-house financing, PACE financing for climate resilient technologies and free services to clients in need.

The heart of Supreme is not a business for ourselves. Its that we love our community, Smith said. I have a love for the elderly ladies and the children in our community.Recently, Supreme fixed the roof on Pink and Blue Childrens Academy in Miami Gardens.

The roof was bad and they had babies in there, Smith said. So while the typical bill for that type of service would have been close to $23,000, his company fixed the roof free-of-charge.

Smith believes philanthropy is his responsibility as a business owner. My company motto is, we do it right because we love to sleep at night. Thats why the company regularly participates in food giveaways, donating school supplies, sponsoring local events and helping the elderly.

Supreme is also involved in charity events including an upcoming school supply drive in August, a Thanksgiving food and toy drive for homeless shelters in Miami-Dade and Broward, and a hurricane prep seminar. Theyll also provide meals at a workshop teaching the elderly how to avoid uncertified contractors and scammers. And throughout the pandemic, the company was able to donate personal protective equipment, water, and sanitizer to those in need.

A Business Administration major in college, Smith never thought he would get into roofing.

His mother, who was a roofing sales rep for a large company, was his inspiration.

His business has held strong for almost two decades and has now survived the COVID-19 pandemic. Supreme saw demand increase as people made home improvements, and now, as they prepare to brace for hurricane season, demand continues to grow.

Smith said he doesnt advertise much, he just keeps his business at the pulse of community affairs. Ninety-two percent of my business is through word of mouth, which speaks to the quality of service we provide, he said.

Offering a word of encouragement to future business owners and community members, he said, encourage kids to not only play sports, but to be in STEM. We have to educate and do things for ourselves and our communities. We need to do better for our communities.

It was at about this time last year when the derecho wind storm ravaged Perry and lay waste to a wide swathe of central Iowa.

Thankfully, no injuries were reported, but trees were split and power lines downed by the 90 mph winds, leaving many people without electricity for days and causing damage that is in some cases still under repair.

The Gamble Block at 1203 Second St. suffered extensive damage to its roof and southwest upper corner in the devastating derecho. Demolition of a portion of the third story preceded the restoration, which is ongoing and has closed one block of Warford Street for two months.

The derecho winds blew out the large plate-glass windows of the Harbach building at 1108 Second St., the onetime home of Woolworths department store and later Spurgeons womenswear store. The owners of the property recently announced plans to install replacement windows and siding on the Second Street storefront.

A portion of the roof was torn off the new home of TCB Corporate Wearables in the Perry Industrial Park but in the year since, the sportswear maker came back stronger with a repaired roof and a new addition to the former spec building.

Perry-area farmers suffered an estimated $9.3 million in damaged crops, but this years yield promises to be a barn buster.

The resilience of Perrys residents from householders to shopkeepers to industrialists was tested by the high winds, and we withstood the storm. Scars remain to mark the catastrophic weather event, which we pray does not become a regular feature of the altered climate of the Great Plains.

And finally, they can provide gutter replacement services for residential properties. The rain gutters are also important because these are responsible for effectively channeling the flow of rain water from the roof through the downspouts, and direct the water to the proper areas outside the home. Without the gutters, the roof can accumulate leaves and other debris, with the result that water can stagnate on the roof and overflow, possibly causing the roof to rust and rot. The gutters also prevent the water from settling around the basement and seeping into the foundation, which may weaken structural support.
