Bugging Out: Take Control of Those Mosquitoes We’re always bragging about our fabulous South Louisiana weather, aren’t we? Along with great cuisine and colorful culture, our extended summers and mild winters are certainly great perks, but there’s one drawback: mosquitoes!
Article Sponsored By
Jokingly referred to as our state bird, mosquitoes are certainly annoying, but they can also transmit illnesses, like the dreaded Zika virus. To protect yourself and your family, you can drain standing water around your yard, and be sure to wear insect repellant or long sleeves/pants, especially at dusk and dawn, when they’re most active. If your mosquito problem requires professional help, however, call on Mosquito Authority. Their service is so effective, they guarantee you won’t be bothered by mosquitoes between treatments. If you are, they’re willing to reassess, retreat, or even refund, if necessary. Another sign that they stand by their work? They require no commitments or contracts, and you can cancel at any time. If you’re bothered by mosquitoes, ticks, flies, or other pests, call 225-334-8034 for more information, or to schedule service. You can also visit their website at www.mosquito-authority.com/locations/baton-rouge-la.

No More Warring Over Flooring It’s an eternal debate in the home improvement arena -- carpet versus flooring. Which is better? Which adds value? Which detracts? Well, as it turns out, there are plenty of pros and cons for each. Hardwood, tile, and laminate options are often credited with being more hypo-allergenic, while many people prefer carpet for noise reduction and reduced risk of slips and falls. Aesthetically speaking, there’s no right or wrong choice. It’s truly a matter of taste. If you’re ready for new flooring for your home or business, check out Anthony Riggins Flooring in Amite. They offer a wide selection to appeal to any design aesthetic, including laminate, hardwood, ceramic, and carpet. They also offer a variety of backsplash materials. To discuss selection and price, call them at (985) 247-2401, or stop in for a visit at 104 SW Central Avenue in Amite.

HOO’S Autumn’s Beautiful Bounty Despite our everlasting steamy weather, summer will soon make way for fall. The kids are back in school, the days are getting shorter, and everyone’s front yards and homes will soon be festooned with all those ubiquitous pumpkins, squash, and gourds. Beyond looking festive, does this autumnal produce have any redeeming qualities? Yes, and here are some excellent reasons to upgrade them from the front porch decor to dinner table delight:
HEALTHY BUTTERNUT SQUASH RECIPE (Courtesy of Food Network) Ingredients One 2- to 3-pound butternut squash, peeled and seeded 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 medium onion, chopped 6 cups chicken stock Nutmeg

Kiwanis: Caring for Kids What in the world is Kiwanis? It’s an odd word with many different possible origins, but there’s no question about what it means to be a member of the global organization that goes by that name. There are over 600,000 members in more than 80 countries, all of whom are dedicated to serving the needs of children through local service projects and fundraising. The Hammond Kiwanis Club, which has been serving the community since 1940, takes that mission very seriously, which is evident by the sheer volume of their efforts. During the past year alone, they have either sponsored, supported, or spearheaded: • Holiday food drive for needy families
• Improvements at the local senior citizen center • TARC Christmas party for people with disabilities • Boy Scouts • Louisiana State Summer Special Olympics They also sponsor the annual Tour De Tangipahoa bicycle tour, which is winding its way through the Northshore countryside on September 16 of this year. Whew, they are a busy group! For information on the Tour de Tangi, or how you can help support the Kiwanis’ many community efforts, visit their website at www.hammondkiwanis.org.
• Terrific Kids and BUGS programs supporting public education • Girls State and Boys State • AKTION Club for adults with disabilities • Louisiana Children’s Discovery Center • Key Clubs that encourage leadership and responsibility among teens

Kliebert’s Turtle & Alligator Tours “My family had an awesome time. T Mike was very friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. He kept every one interested the whole tour. He even made the tour personal and let every family take pictures with the gators. He didn’t rush and he kept the group laughing. I didn’t think twice when giving him a tip for his great service. I wish they owned their own zoo because I would go love to have him give a tour of a a variety of animals. He would do great. It was great. And worth the money.” - Kayla R.

Hank’ s Tint & Bedliners “ Simply blown away. I have seen this place for years on the road. I decided it was time to get some tint to battle this heat. Someone recommended this place last night. I called today for an appointment, arrived, and was on my way faster than most oil changes. The tint looks factory and the price was right. Super friendly people there too.” - Mike S.

PREPARED
Credit Unions: Time to Make the Switch? Raise your hand if you’re among the 74% of Americans with only “some or very little confidence” in banks. Keep ‘em up if you still keep your money in an aforementioned bank. Despite the fact that credit unions don’t take risks with your money, charge lower fees, get slightly higher interest rates on deposit accounts, and often provide better customer service, fewer than onethird of Americans use them. Crazy, right? If you’re ready to make the switch, or at least learn more about what your local credit union can offer you, here are a few to check out:
