To prevent mold and to stop it from drying out, try this:

Once you clean out the inside, wipe it down with a solution of water and bleach (1 teaspoon per 1 quart of water). A spray bottle can help you spray the inside. This will prevent mold by killing bacteria. 

Once you carve it and it has been cleaned out, apply petroleum jelly to all the areas carved. This will lock in moisture. You can also use vegetable oil or WD-40. Remember though to NOT use a flame candle since these solutions are flammable. 

This year, it looks like there will be rain showers arriving Wednesday that will linger into Thursday. Keep an eye on the forecast on-air and on your WHIO Weather App.

The cooler temperatures may be sending you outdoors, but it could also be the cause of your seasonal allergies.

Although ragweed pollen is the main cause of fall allergies, an expert at the Baylor College of Medicine warns that storms that send in cold fronts can also stir allergens from the spring and summer such as tree pollen and grass.

“Cold fronts tend to bring in a lot of wind and stir up a lot of allergens,” said Dr. David Corry, professor of medicine in the section of immunology, allergy and rheumatology at Baylor College of Medicine. “Not only ragweed but pollens from earlier in the season that are dried out and stuck in the ground. People can frequently have a return of their allergy symptoms in the fall even if they are mainly allergic to pollens in the spring and summer.”

Corry offers a few tips on how to prevent allergies so you can enjoy the cooler fall temperatures.

Stay indoors

Another major allergy trigger is mold and mold spores that are carried into the air by the wind and rain. Corry recommends remaining indoors shortly after thunderstorms, especially for those who have asthma.

“If you are mold allergic or you have mold-related asthma, those can get dramatically worse very quickly and that is a real threat to health,” Corry said. “These storms as they come through can put you in the hospital and cause very severe reactions. There is actually a name for this called ‘thunderstorm asthma,’ so these storms are very important for people who have allergic diseases of all kinds.”

Corry warned that if your house has been flooded by a storm or has water damage of any kind that it needs to be repaired immediately to avoid mold growth, which can be even more detrimental to your health.

Housekeeping and personal hygiene

Maintaining a clean home and showering after being outdoors is essential in preventing allergies since people tend to carry allergens into the home through their clothes, Corry said.

“These allergens are small particles that can stick to your hair, clothes and skin, so it’s important to maintain personal hygiene by showering after being outdoors and washing the clothes that you wear outdoors,” Corry said.

For those suffering from severe allergies, he recommends removing all fixed carpeting in the home since they tend to trap pollen and dust mites. If changing to hard floors is not an option, Corry recommends using a quality vacuum system to clean the carpets on a regular basis.

“Anybody who has allergies really needs to be particularly in tune to keeping the house clean and dust free, such as changing your air conditioner filters regularly,” Corry said.

If you suffer from allergies inside the home, he recommends placing a portable HEPA filter in the bedrooms or living room to help purify the air.

“Those really help because most of the time allergens from pets or dust mites are not in the air but when you walk across the floor or carpets you are dispersing these things back up into the air for you to breathe in,” Corry said.

Treatment options

Since pollen tends to collect in the airway and nasal passages, an effective way to treat allergies is to rinse the nose out. Corry recommends using a neti pot – a technique where a saline solution drains through your nasal passages. These can be found at any local pharmacy.

For those suffering mild allergy symptoms, Corry suggests trying over-the-counter non-drowsy antihistamines in combination with nasal steroids. If this is not effective, he recommends visiting a physician who can prescribe inhaled steroids or other types of medications to treat symptoms.

For those with the worst form of allergies, he recommends allergen immunotherapy – a process that begins with a skin test to determine what is causing the allergy. Allergists inject allergens in low doses into the skin and anything that causes an itchy red welt indicates that the person has sensitivity to that allergen. The person then receives weekly injections to build up an immune response to that allergen so that over time they stop reacting to it.

Research

As of 2019, Corry said research has shown that severe allergies are strongly related to mold – including molds growing in your airway like sinuses, nasal passages and lungs. Recognized today as airway mycosis, fungus growing in your airway not only causes allergies but can produce diseases like asthma or chronic sinusitis.This can be relieved with antimicrobial therapy.

“For most of us, airway mycosis is not an issue because our immune systems are sufficient enough to get rid of the fungus,” Corry said. “However, there is a fraction of people who can’t fight it off, but they’re the ones who get into trouble with really severe allergies, difficult to manage asthma and sinusitis. That’s when medical professionals need to step in and give them a boost, and often that takes the form of antifungals as or antibiotics that are specific for killing fungi.”

The front facade of the building had collapsed so the owners, Mark and Traci Barnett, decided it was best to demolish the structure.

“Totally dangerous” is how Traci Barnett described the building. She said water damage created black mold throughout the building.

“We regret that it had to come down,” said Barnett, who added they contacted the South Main Street Historical District about the demolition plans.

Since buying the property for 2013, the Barnetts, originally from Baltimore, have dedicated their lives and financial resources remodeling the Sorg Mansion, built in 1887 by Paul J. Sorg, one of Middletown’s first industrialists and multimillionaires.

The three-story, 12-bedroom, eight-bathroom brick-and-stone Romanesque castle features 12-foot ceilings and fireplaces in every bedroom.

Traci Barnett, executive director of the Middletown Community Foundation, said they have replaced the slate roof, repaired the box gutters and internal gutters, restored the exterior stones to their original colors, repaired the detailed woodwork, painted walls, replaced wallpaper and purchased “historic lighting” for some of the rooms.

The renovations, she said, have required “a great amount of work” and have taken longer than expected. The mansion has received $212,500 in tax credits from the Ohio Development Services Agency, and the total project to renovate the South Main Street property is estimated at nearly $1.32 million.

When asked why anyone would spend time and money renovating an historical building, Barnett said, “I feel like we are just taking care of it. It belongs to the city.”

The Sorg Mansion was built 132 years ago, so Middletonians don’t remember a time before the mansion, Barnett said. Last year, when the Sorg was one of the 14 historic buildings featured in the South Main Historic District Candlelight Tour of Homes, Barnett said more than 1,600 people toured the mansion’s foyer and drawing room on the first floor.

Prior to the purchase by the Barnetts, the mansion was home to dance and photo studios, a construction company and low-income apartments over the years.

People said they “waited a lifetime” to get a glimpse inside the mansion, Barnett said.

She understands why people are fascinated with the Sorg Mansion and why it’s common to see people pull over on South Main Street and take photos of the building.

“It’s a castle, so people can’t help but notice,” she said.

WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J. — The stories of people who survived Superstorm Sandy, scrawled in their own handwriting, are an integral part of a new art exhibit remembering the deadly storm and the devastation it caused seven years ago.

The «Just Beachy After Sandy» exhibit at Monmouth University in New Jersey is on display through early December. It incorporates people’s survival stories into the artwork, which also includes an obelisk made from slices from trees that fell during the storm.

There are hanging posters resembling beach towels that present Sandy-related data in easy-to-grasp visual terms, and a «climate shelter» where all the trappings of a home that would normally be on the inside — chairs, photographs, drawers — are on the outside, symbolizing the huge mounds of sodden possessions that became refuse and had to be hauled away from the curb after the Oct. 29, 2012, storm. Inside the shelter, a recording of the storm pounding the coast plays on a loop.

It was created by Karen Bright, an art and design professor, and Amanda Stojanov, an assistant professor of communication.

«You mention Sandy around here, and everybody dives right into their story,» Bright said. «It’s right at the tip of their tongue. I thought, ‘How can I make this a communal event?’ I wanted to visualize the data and the reality of the storm in a way that’s more accessible to people.»

The storm was blamed for at least 182 deaths in the U.S. and Caribbean — including 48 in New York and 12 in New Jersey — and more than $71 billion in damage in this country alone.

The heart of the exhibit is the survivors’ stories. Some excerpts:

— «We stayed home for Sandy. Hurricane Irene didn’t affect us a year earlier; why would Sandy be any different? We watched the water rise through the floor boards. An hour in, we lost power. A little later we were forced up to the second floor. The next morning we went to check the damage. It looked like a tornado had gone through our home.» — Sandra Walters, Keansburg, New Jersey.

— «Adrienne, Mike and Alicia decided not to evacuate. They lost power shortly after Sandy hit and, in the dark, they realized that water was rushing into their home. Before they knew it, they had three feet of water. They were too afraid of downed power lines, so they stayed perched on top of furniture until the water receded.» — Mike and family, Port Monmouth, New Jersey.

— «Patricia has been displaced from her home since Sandy. Pat’s family used to spend summers down the shore and when her husband passed, she moved to a bungalow in Keansburg. During Sandy, Pat’s house began to flood and she was forced to stay with family. Her house was demolished.» — Patricia and family, Keansburg, New Jersey.

Bright began working on the project three years ago and has been soliciting storm survivors’ stories since January. The hanging artwork on rectangular canvas, bordered in white, resembles beach towels. It takes Sandy data and visually represents it in ways with an immediate, easy-to-grasp impact.

One uses 86 years of data on wave heights off the New Jersey coast to form a multicolored artwork with an unmistakable surge over the years toward larger waves and bigger storms.

Flotsam and jetsam from the storm are displayed as art in their own right, including lengths of weathered nautical rope and fishing line that she plucked from New Jersey beaches after the storm.

The «climate shelter» is topped with a small geodesic dome that represents temporary shelter. And the walls of prints created by the two professors are designed to be covered up by notes left by Sandy survivors.

The idea is that the power of survival and rebuilding can «erase» the power of the storm and its destruction.

They included tales such as this one from Susan and her family, who lived in Ocean Grove: «We watched as water streams swept past the house as if we were on a moving train.»

A young woman named Lacey from Toms River was attending graduate school in Massachusetts when the storm hit, and she and others came to New Jersey to help with the recovery.

«The homeowners were in varying stages of disbelief, despair and denial. One woman was putting her photos in boxes, like the black mold could be overcome. I wore 3 masks and had to leave every 20 minutes because I was so sick from the mold that pervaded the walls.»

The roller coaster that plunged off an amusement pier in Seaside Heights and sat in the ocean for months became an indelible image of the storm’s destruction. It still figures in many survivors’ memories of Sandy.

«I watched images of the roller coaster I rode as a child float away into the angry sea. It was like my memories were stolen — erased like they never existed at all,» wrote MaryAnn St. Jacques, of Mendham, New Jersey.

Anthony and Beverly, of Highlands, were trapped with their cats in the second floor of their house for two days after the storm. They wrote that they remember watching their refrigerator float through the house.

And the son of a woman with end-stage cancer had this recollection:

«My mother’s cars were pushing up on the second floor, dunes to the ceiling. My mother had stage 4 ovarian cancer; I had to carry her to the door to see for herself. My heart broke that day — I lost it in the dunes. My mother died nine months later. I could never return.»
