MARION — Undaunted by the overcast weather, two preschoolers helped steer a remote-controlled model sailboat Monday afternoon off Tabor Academy’s waterfront.

One of them was going to be the new proprietor of the boat, thanks to senior Asa Smith, who is donating model boats to disabled or disadvantaged children.

Nicole Zutaut of Rochester said she was “unbelievably grateful” for Smith’s donation to her daughter, Alexis, a 5-year-old who is developmentally delayed.

“This is fabulous,” Zutaut said. “It will be rather an accomplishment once she gets to understand it.”

Alexis, who attends preschool at Rochester Memorial School, is learning with regards to cause and effect, and the remote-controlled boat will help, her mother said.

For his senior project, Smith, 18, of Wellesley, chose to finish seven model boats, left not finished by a class, and donate them.

In addition to the one he gave to Alexis, Smith said he is donating two to New Bedford Community Boating, two to this year’s Robie Pierce Regatta of Larchmont, N.Y., which includes sailors with disabilities, and two to Duxbury Bay Maritime School, which has a sailing program for children and adults with cognitive and physical disabilities.

Smith said the model boats give people a way to learn how to sail.

“It in truth gives people a sense of sailing without getting wet,” he said.

His faculty adviser, Capt. David Bill, said not every one gets a chance to sail but it may be a unforgettable experience for those who do get an opportunity.

“To give children a prospect to experience sailing, even with models, could touch them in ways we’re not conscious of,” Bill said.

The model boats have plastic bottoms, wooden decks and nylon sails, and the kits may be ordered online. Smith took a class last year on boat design, in which students made these models.

Bill encouraged him to take a model to a sailing center for disabled children in Boston last spring, which gave him the idea for his senior project, he said.

Alexis’ friend, Eve, a 4-year-old Rochester Memorial student with Down Syndrome, was also on hand to see how the boat works. She threw up her hands and yelled “Yes!” when she saw the boat take off.

“It was fantasti to get to try this,” said Laura Antonellis, Eve’s mother, who joined her husband, Chris, and the others on the dock for the launch.

Struttin’ Her Shutters at Blennerhassett Island

“The Blennerhassett estate appeared so splendid it was nicknamed ‘paradise, ‘Eden,’ and ‘the Enchanted Island.’ But it proved a tragically short-lived haven for those who devised it. Harman and Margaret became entangled in the ill-fated Aaron Burr Expedition to the Southwest (1805-1807) and fled their island home December 1806. The house burned to the ground in 1811, remaining only a romantic legend until reconstructed circa 1984-1991 by the State of West Virginia as the centerpiece of Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park,” according to Ray Swick, state park historian.

The upkeep of the reconstructed mansion revealed her shutters were beyond repair. The cost proposal for amount of time rectify substitute at $37,000.

They were occasionally closed in the morning to undertake to keep the cool air inside the house.”

Ahhhhhhhhhh, just right at Hawks Nest and Twin Falls Resort state parks

A variable refrigerant flow zoning (VRFZ) system is 21st century technology. It is such a new progressed heating and cooling procedure that it occurs in only two places in West Virginia: Twin Falls and Hawks Nest state parks lodges. “Actually a City Multi VRFZ system substituted the basi HVAC schemes at these two park lodges that were constructed in the late 1960s and opened to the public in 1970,” says Brad Leslie, assistant chief of West Virginia State Parks, engineering science section. “The envisioned response is reduction in energy costs and increased facility use comfort.”

VRF moves refrigerant rather and air for zoning. Twin Falls and Hawks Nest heating and cooling moved water, heated or chilled for temperature change. In VRF there is an inverter-driven compressor preforming at the minimum energy level necessary to provide ease in zones down to a 6 percent capacity. Each variable capacity indoor unit operates independently form the other indoor units for ease control.

“Prior to this HVAC renovation, both Hawks Nest and Twin Falls either had chilled water cooling rooms and public areas or heated water heating areas. Hot and cold water cannot run through a single line. Guest and laborers were at the mercy of one or the other, heat or air conditioning,” says Scott Durham, superintendent at Twin Falls State Park. According to John Bracken, superintendent, “Guests this year at Hawks Nest State Park Lodge have climate control in sleeping rooms for personal comfort, no matter what the season.”

“It is perfectly top of the line, new-age technology. For the park system, the funding and scheme buy was a big task and then genuinely work of retrofitting the lodges at Hawks Nest and Twin Falls by the contractors.”

Funding came largely in the form of grants submitted by parks to tap stimulus dollars available for energy effective projects retrofitting buildings. “We believe the cost of the WVFZ will be a return on investment in scaled down energy costs. We could have used more funds and done more work,” says Leslie, “but we accomplished a lot with what was available.” The park scheme anticipates a minimum of 17 percent energy cost savings or greater. The true test will be guest gratification that rooms are not too hot or too cold. “It’s like of like the bowl of porridge in Goldilocks, we hope is it turns out to be just right. Time will tell.”

Hawks Nest State Park is one of the park system’s icons for scenic viewsheds. Located in Fayette region near Ansted, the lower park reflects the time-tested work of the Civilian Conservation Corps and the newer area the 1970s lodge, restaurant and aerial tramway.

Twin Falls Resort in Wyoming region opened to the public in 1970 as a result of the Area Redevelopment Act (ARA) and the development of special places to give rise to employment prospects for the area. Twin Falls features a 47-room lodge, 18-hole golf course, 50-site campground, hiking and biking trails, expansive meeting facilities and a full-service Restaurant.
