The Magic of Lights

Illuminates valley nights with dazzling drive-through experience

ights make the holidays more special, and that’s especially true with the Magic of Lights. This eye-popping production debuts this year, making the season brighter and more colorful. The Empire Polo Club will be transformed into a vibrant drive-through event, featuring dozens of displays, illuminated canopies and digital animation, all constructed with millions of individual LED lights to create a memorable holiday experience. The event is structured with one-price per carload, affordable for families and all ages. Inside the comfort of their own vehicle, guests will enjoy Magic of Lights’ classic holiday favorites including Winter Wonderland, the 12 Days of Christmas, Toyland, Festive Elves and Reindeer Road. In addition to the 200-foot long Enchanting Tunnel of Lights, there will also be three other brand-new tunnels including the Blizzard Light Tunnel, the Snowflake Tunnel and the Candy Cane Light Tunnel. Other brand-new displays include the 32-foot tall, animated Mattel’s Waving Christmas Barbie, Prehistoric Christmas featuring life sized dinosaurs greeting guests and Bigfoot Monster Trucks. Created with over two million sparkling lights, Magic of Lights is intended to be a nostalgic

and festive event that may become the Coachella Valley’s next annual tradition. Produced by Family Entertainment Holdings, LLC, the event will exhibit 12.6 miles of light cord and 3,750 staff hours dedicated to each production. The steel displays are designed, bent, cut and welded into 800 frames that are combined in different configurations to create the giant winter holiday scenes. Each frame of each scene is designed using the latest CAD technology and hand built in-house from 15 pages of design specifications. Every show uses about 10 miles of steel to

build the displays and 10 miles of LED lighting installed inside the displays. There are 10 different colors of LED bulbs used in the shows. The event accommodates various sizes of vehicles (at different pricing levels-please check website), and guests are asked to stay in their vehicles. No passengers are allowed in the back of truck beds. It’s time to light up the night! Held through January 1 from 5:30 to 10 p.m. nightly. Tickets start at $30 per vehicle.

Is 2023 the year when you have to consider moving into assisted living? Or perhaps helping an elderly relative make the move? In either case, your first steps should be gathering as much information as possible. What type of care is needed? Daily help with everything from bathing to eating to remembering to take medications? Or is a more specialized, secure location needed for memory care? Or something in between? What facilities are in your area? It will be important that friends and family can visit easily, as well as having access to the same medical care after the move. Going out for lunch locally can go a long way toward keeping relationships intact. Once you’ve selected a few facilities to explore, start digging for information. Call the state and ask about the licenses, accreditation and safety track records. Call your local fire and police departments about potential safety issues. Do you know anyone who works in one of the facilities you’re considering, or who knows someone who lives there? Their input

could be crucial when it comes to learning about any rules the facility might have, or any staff shortages that could lead to problems with client care or any ongoing complaints about the food. Then ask for a tour at every facility on your list. Stay as long as you can and ask a lot of questions. Get a copy of the potential contract to give your attorney to review (ideally one specializing in elder law). Money: You’ll need to know what everything costs, and by everything, that means all the fees that might not be included in the overall amount. Are clients charged for field trips or special entertainment, for example? How about laundry costs? As part of your informationgathering, go online and search for “how to select an assisted living facility” or something similar. Look for checklists of questions to ask. You’ll need all the information you can find. (c) 2022 King Features Synd., Inc.

Did you know? Lights on a Christmas tree Lights on a Christmas tree may seem like a relatively recent phenomenon, but people who can’t wait to deck the halls each December may be surprised to learn that this beloved tradition dates all the way back to the late nineteenth century. Edward Johnson, a friend and colleague of Thomas Edison, introduced holiday light bulbs in 1882. Prior to that, candles were lit on trees and families would briefly gaze at this awe-inspiring bit of holiday decor before the

candles were quickly extinguished. Johnson is credited with being the first to suggest light bulbs, which were invented by his friend Edison, be used to light trees in place of candles. While many were impressed by Johnson’s eightbulb holiday display, it remained a novelty until the 1920s, when preassembled lights became more accessible. Since then, Christmas tree lights have taken hold as a must-have piece of holiday decor in households across the globe.

Easy cracker brittle makes a great last-minute gift HOLIDAY CRACKER BRITTLE Total Time: 30 minutes Yield: About 40 pieces

Here’s a quick and easy recipe for an inexpensive yet alarmingly addictive holiday treat. Who would think four simple ingredients could produce a scrumptious candy the whole family will love? It’s sweet and salty, chocolatey, buttery and crunchy all at once. Long ago, I was looking for a simple recipe that was special enough to give as a gift but inexpensive enough that I could actually afford to make enough to give away. And while I’ve always been a fan of brittles and toffee, I never thought I could make them myself. I figured I would have to navigate complicated directions and, worse yet, try to find my candy thermometer. It must be in a drawer somewhere. But no! This recipe is so undemanding you can make it anytime you have a half-hour to spare. Due diligence, here’s your warning; This is not a recipe for the kiddies to make. When you boil sugar and butter together, they become like molten lava, hot and sticky, so please use caution.

• 2 sleeves of saltine crackers • 1 cup brown or white sugar, or a combo • 1 cup (two sticks) butter -no substitutions • 1 bag (12 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips • Optional toppings -- nuts and/or sprinkles Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Leave an overhang of foil when you line the baking sheet so the cracker brittle is easy to lift and remove. Next, spray your foil or parchment with cooking spray so it willingly comes off the brittle. Did I mention it’s sticky? Cover the baking sheet with a single layer of saltine crackers, placing them as close together as possible, breaking some if necessary to cover the entire pan. Set aside. In a saucepan on medium heat, melt the butter and sugar together, stirring frequently to avoid burning the mixture, until the sugar is dissolved and it’s smooth and bubbling. Allow the mixture to boil for 3 minutes.

Carefully pour the butter mixture over the crackers and quickly spread evenly with an offset metal spatula or the back of a spoon. This is incredibly hot, so be very careful. Bake at 400 F for 5 minutes. It will be very bubbly. Watch that it doesn’t burn. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Now, you could stop right here and have a lovely treat. But if you’re adding chocolate pieces, immediately sprinkle them evenly over the hot brittle so they will melt. Using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon, spread the melted chocolate evenly over the brittle. If you’re adding more toppings, sprinkle them evenly over the chocolate while it’s still warm. Let this cool completely to room temperature, and it will harden. Break it into pieces and serve, or package as a gift.

This recipe lends itself to wonderful variations. A personal favorite is to substitute graham crackers for the saltines. You can also use buttery rich, round crackers or even vanilla cookies. Any kind of chocolate chips will work, like milk chocolate, semi-sweet, dark, white chocolate or a mix. You can also vary the toppings with nuts, coconut, chocolatecoated candies or crushed peppermint candies for an infinite number of variations. Some favorite combinations are white chocolate and peppermint; milk chocolate with almonds and coconut; and dark chocolate, peanuts and pretzels. This is a real empty-out-the-pantry candy. All of us at Divas an a Dime wish you happy holidays and a very Merry Christmas!

Brain Teaser Answer

Dirty Water Flows Downhill It’s not enough that I spent part of my childhood on a base that ended up as a Superfund site. This week I discovered that my current town, where I’ve lived for many years, has water contaminated by chemicals from the nearby nowdefunct base. The base, a mere few miles from my home, was declared a Superfund site in the 1980s due to the firefighting foams that contained two different perfluorinated alkylated substances (PFAS), specifically

February (there are usually fewer nights in February). perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), both deadly “forever chemicals.” Three years later responsibilities were established for who would deal with the mess, and the base was eventually closed due to BRAC (base realignment and closure). The base was repeatedly cleaned and tested over the years, with acres paved over to contain the worst of the contaminated ground that they couldn’t dig up. Changes were made in how the water was treated as time went on, but chemicals were still found in the water. In some areas, a landfill cap was put in place; in others, there was removal of more soil; and in some areas there was cleanup and ongoing monitoring. Eventually those in authority considered the whole matter done and dusted. Now we learn that the original

PFAS chemicals at the base may be contaminating the aquifer -where we get our drinking water. Hidden away under their dirt cap, those chemicals appear to have migrated downhill. Tests done last year show that the level of chemicals was double what the state recommends, and one well was taken offline. New monitors were installed. Now, however, a recent test showed extremely high readings, higher than ever, with suspicion that closing that

first well was driving the chemicals to the remaining wells where we get our drinking water. The lesson here is this: If you live near a base that was deemed a Superfund site, and if remediation was done and the site declared to be clean, that does not mean problems won’t come back in the future. Water does, after all, flow downhill. (c) 2022 King Features Synd., Inc
