Halloween safety Keeping trick-or-treaters safe

key tips to keep your children safe on Oct. 31.

Street safety Chances are, your kids will be logging many hours on the streets this Halloween.

And many of them will be wearing dark costumes. Make sure drivers see them as they cross the street by fastening reflective tape to their costumes and trick-or-treating bags so that they’re not invisible come nighttime, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Bobbing for apples It’s a classic game, but in the modern world, bacteria runs rampant during those bobs. Reduce the number of bacteria that may be present on the apples by rinsing them under cool running water, says the Food and Drug Administration.

that may scare children.

Decorative contact lenses Decorative lenses may look good with your child’s costume, but don’t use them without an eye exam and a prescription from an eye care professional, says the Food and Drug Administration. The packaging on the lenses may make claims such as “one size fits all” or ‘no need to see an eye specialist,” but wearing these without a prescription is actually dangerous and illegal. In the worstcase scenario, it can lead to permanent vision loss.

Modern world Make trickor-treating safer by providing your older children with a cell phone, says the American Academy of Pediatrics.

They should understand how to make a call, and they need to know that they should dial 911 in case of any emergencies. Prevent them from getting lost by mapping out a route on the phone or via Mapquest before they leave the house.

Black licorice Think twice before you eat it, says the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. While the candy is given out freely at Halloween, recent reports found that if you’re older than 40 and eat more than 40-50 grams daily for at least two weeks, you could be at risk for heart arrhythmias and possible heart failure.

Not just child’s play

By Margie M. Newman Special to The Eagle

How to stay safe online Think Facebook and Twitter are just for kids? Consider this: Social media use among adults is skyrocketing, and 50 percent of adult Internet users now reconnect with old friends, make new ones and show off personal photos via a social network.

“As broadband and mobile access spreads, more people have the ability — and increasingly, the habit — of sharing what they are doing or thinking (online),” Susannah Fox, associate director of digital strategy at the Pew Internet and American Life Project, said in a 2011 report.

These interactions also could be good for you. Researchers at The Phoenix Center in Washington, D.C., found that, among the elderly, Internet use may reduce loneliness and depression.

The ins and outs of social networking often are intimidating to new users. As you dive headfirst into these public pools of information, keep in mind these helpful do’s and don’ts: Do be picky about your profile.

The first thing you should do when joining a social network is create your personal profile. Type in your name, the city you live in, and a quick sentence or two about yourself. You can even add a photo.

Beyond basic information, proceed with caution. Remember: Your profile is public, and not everyone online has your best interest in mind. If you over-share by adding too much personal information, such as street address, your mother’s maiden name, your year of birth or your vacation schedule, con artists and thieves may attempt to use that information to trick you into sharing even more with them.

Don’t keep your daily diary online. Before the Information Age, we nurtured a few special relationships of relatives or friends who knew our routines, secrets and family circumstances, and they understood this was a privilege and rarely abused it.

No matter how safe you begin to feel online, do not grant the Internet access into your “circle” of relationships and routines. The Web is great for many things, but keeping your secrets is not one of them.

“The bottom line is that you must treat everything like it is public,” says social media expert Nisha Chittal, of Washington, D.C.

“When you are posting online, think about if you would be OK with your boss, members of your church or your mom seeing this.” And even though social networks have privacy settings, Chittal advises, “Don’t ever place 100 percent of your trust in a social network’s privacy settings.”

Do beware of social scammers.

Occasionally, you will see Facebook friends or Twitter followers post links to websites or applications that supposedly “save you hundreds of dollars,” promise you a “free iPad” or even a chance to “see who is viewing your profile.” Don’t click these links — they likely contain viruses.

Spam links sometimes are posted to accounts by computer hackers. If it happens to you, don’t panic. Just delete the offending post and change your password right away.

Don’t overdo it. Take a break for your health. Perusing old friends’ and new buddies’ profiles may be interesting, but if your physical or mental health is fragile, take a break. The inherent tendency to compare and contrast — and to dwell on it — when reading about others’ lives online may not be healthy for you.

The benefits of new media merriment are many. But like most things in life, it’s best to share in moderation and to know your boundaries.

• Cook several cups of brown rice, which will supply you for several days.

• Roast about six sweet potatoes, which keep for days as well.

• Steam or saute a few heads of broccoli or 2 pounds green beans. I like to saute them in a wok with a bit of sesame and canola oil, minced ginger, garlic and a pinch of hot chili flakes. When they are about done, I drizzle them with low-sodium soy sauce.

GLUTEN FREE

We lightened Rachel Begun’s Honey Almond Biscuits with rice flour and cornstarch, but they’re still very rich. Save them for special occasions.

No glutEN allowEd Exploring a new field of flours

f your body says no to gluten, a substance that’s central to lots of American breads, do you have to give up the staff of life?

Not if you’re willing to accept flavors and textures that are a little different from bread made with wheat, rye, barley or related grains. The gluten in processed forms of these grains is the bad guy in celiac disease and other cases of gluten intolerance. Even oats can mean trouble because of cross-contamination from wheat.

For a gluten-intolerant person, this stuff inflames the lining of the small intestine, and the body can’t absorb nutrients from food. That’s only part of the experience. There are also a nasty rash, weight gain (or loss), lack of energy, insomnia, hyperactivity, migraines and more.

Millions of Americans are gluten-intolerant, and retailers have responded by offering baked goods and mixes for this audience.

If you’re into experimenting, you can try redesigning a family recipe without gluten. If your cornbread calls for cornmeal and wheat flour, try substituting rice flour for the wheat, plus a

teaspoon of pure cornstarch for each cup of rice flour.

Our redesigned cornbread has a lighter texture. But it has more calories than the original, because rice flour has more calories than wheat flour. We’ll just have a smaller piece.

Almond joy Rachel Begun, M.S., R.D., a registered dietitian and spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, offered the recipe for Honey Almond Biscuits from her website, rachelbegun.com. Begun loves bread, but she has celiac disease, so she has to work around gluten.

Her recipe makes a delicious but hefty biscuit. Can we lighten it up? Begun likes her biscuits without refined grains or starches. “However,” she said in an e-mail, “for gluten-free baking results that are more similar to baking with gluten, it’s always best to work with a combination of flours, including a grain, legume or nut flour with a starch.” Just make sure all your ingredients are gluten-free.

We cut back the almond flour and added white rice flour and a bit of cornstarch. But even our less dense version is a very rich bread, so serve it as a treat on special occasions.

GLUTEN FREE

Honey Almond Biscuits

Turn Honey Almond Biscuits into dessert by adding a little cinnamon and a little nutmeg to the dough. Top the split biscuit with sliced fresh or frozen peaches and garnish with a dab of gluten-free black raspberry preserves.

Dessert option: • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg Fruit: fresh or frozen peaches or tangerines, gluten-free black raspberry preserves Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment; set

aside.

In a large bowl, combine almond meal, rice flour, cornstarch, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon and nutmeg, if using.

In a separate bowl, beat together eggs, oil and honey.

Stir the wet mixture into the dry. Use a medium scoop to make 14 biscuits. Flatten these to about 3/4-inch thick.

Bake for about 16 minutes, or until golden brown on top, and a toothpick inserted into the center of a biscuit comes out clean.

Cool the biscuits for about 5 minutes, then use a spatula to move them to a wire rack.

For dessert, slice a biscuit on a small plate and top with peaches. Garnish with preserves.

Makes 14 biscuits.

ooking for a more meaningful way to celebrate your son or daughter’s special day?

A trend toward hosting charitable birthday parties is helping young ones understand that there can be more to a birthday party than just heaps of presents, cake and ice cream, and lots of friends.

“Teaching our children that giving gifts is just as great as receiving is sometimes a tough lesson that falls on little deaf ears,” said Kristin Williamson interactive marketing manager of Talk About Giving, an initiative developed by the Central Carolina Community Foundation. “But once they grasp the concept, the lesson may last a lifetime.”

Family focus on philanthropy

12

For the Siepman family of LaGrange Park, Ill., birthday parties offer a chance for their children to celebrate with friends and to help others, said mom Andrea: “A few years ago, my husband and I decided that instead of getting birthday party gifts, our kids would instead raise money for charity while celebrating with friends.”

This year, 8-year-old Allison hosted her friends at Chefs for a Day for a kidfriendly cooking class, and at the same time raised more than $400 for the Hinsdale (Ill.) Humane Society.

(about a no-present party), our kids weren’t really into it. But, doing it just once changed their minds. They really love it. They really get into it,” Siepman said.

First, the family discusses the donation, sometimes choosing local efforts such as raising funds for the fire department or something more global such as the Red Cross. Instead of presents, guests bring a check and the Siepmans match the total raised.

“They’re really learning

that once you have what you need, it’s important to think about others,” Siepman said.

Never too young Four-year-old Macy Holthouser of Roanoke, Va., enjoyed making a lemonade stand so much at the beginning of this summer that she begged her mom to let her do it again — but this time for her birthday party, said mom Melody Holthouser.

Fisher House Foundation, www.fisherhouse.org Poverty and hunger www.heifer.org

After some Internet research, the Holthousers paired up with Alex’s Lemonade Stand, www.Alexslemonade.org, which raises money to find a cure for childhood cancers, and got the party started.

“She’s only 4, but she gets it,” said Holthouser. “It went over really well and was a positive learning experience.” They raised more than $200.

Now it’s your turn There are plenty of opportunities for charitable birthday parties. To get things started, strike up a conversation. Talk about the needs that can be seen in the community and what can be done to help. Or, look at the bigger picture of what’s going on around the world.

FALL

Free mulch! give fallen leaves, your yard new life

By PAMElA KocK Special to The Eagle

w

hen the glorious yellows, reds, and oranges of autumn foliage have dropped onto your lawn, it’s cleanup time. Don’t waste nature’s bounty by burning your leaves, hauling them out to the curb or bagging them up as yard waste, because they’re great for the garden.

The easiest way to take advantage of fallen leaves, if you have a mulching mower, is to mow over them and let the shredded bits work their way into the lawn. It’s free fertilizer.

Mowers also can be used to shred leaves for use as a garden mulch that won’t attract termites like chipped wood or bark mulch. Just mow over them with a bag attachment, and spread the shredded leaves around the bases of plants or over dormant beds.

Shredded leaves decompose faster than whole ones, enriching garden soil. They’re also more likely to stay in place.

Apply 3 to 6 inches around trees

and shrubs, 2 to 3 inches around annuals and perennials. You might even want to save some leaves until spring, for another mulch application.

Leaves can be worked directly into the garden soil. Shredded leaves will decompose faster, but whole leaves work well, too. It’s best to do this in

the fall, so they have plenty of time to decompose before spring planting begins. The leaves will not only add nutrients to the soil, they’ll also improve its texture and drainage. This holds true whether your soil is heavy clay or sandy. Try adding a little fertilizer to the leaves to speed things along.

Another way to take advantage of leaves is to add them to a compost pile. Again, shredded leaves will turn into compost more quickly, but if shredding isn’t convenient, just add them whole. Be sure to follow the usual guidelines for keeping your compost pile productive.

It may surprise you to learn that all tree leaves are not created equal. For example, you should avoid the use of black walnut trees in the garden. All parts of these trees contain a chemical that retards the growth of some plants, though others may be tolerant. If your property has black walnut trees, it may be more practical to grow plants that tolerate their presence than to avoid their leaves.

The leaves of some tree varieties, such as oak, laurel and pine needles, decompose more slowly than others.

All tree leaves raise the acidity of soil slightly over time, but if you add other soil amendments there should be little difference.
