Healthy New Year’s resolution ideas for kids (StatePoint) — If eating healthier and getting more exercise tops your New Year’s resolution list, consider extending these worthwhile goals to the whole family. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, childhood obesity in this country has more than tripled over the past 30 years. But you can help your family get the right nutrition and exercise to stay healthy. “Not only is it extremely important for kids to get all the vitamins, nutrients and physical activity they need to stay healthy, but habits formed early in life — both good and bad — can last a lifetime,” says Dr. Thomas McInerny, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). The AAP is offering some healthy living tips for parents to help kids get on the right track for the upcoming year. Improving eating habits • You may have bad childhood memories of being forced to sit at the table until you cleaned your plate. Don’t perpetuate this method of mealtime management! It sends the wrong message by emphasizing quantity over quality and can lead to significant overeating. Foster a healthier attitude toward food by focusing on what you serve in the first place. • Establish a routine with regular meal and snack times. Always eat meals at the table. Children who eat meals with their family consume more fruits, vegetables, fiber, calcium-rich foods and vitamins. • Once kids are old enough, encourage self-feeding as much as possible. • Avoid soda, which is full of empty calories or artificial sweeteners. Milk and water are the best drink choices for your child. Offer whole milk or 2 percent milk to children ages 12 months to 2 years old, unless your pediatrician recommends lowfat milk. After age 2, offer low-fat milk. Limit juice to four to six ounces a day. • Kids can be picky at first, but don’t let a refusal of a new food stop you from trying again. Offer new foods multiple times in multiple ways. For infants, you may need to even try 10 to 15 times over several months. Parents are extremely influential and can serve as a child’s best role model. Eat a variety of foods of different flavors, colors and textures.

Encourage active play • Don’t let a full day go by without active play. Take trips to the park, play in the yard, go for walks and make physical activity a part of your family’s daily routine. Reduce the amount of time spent in devices that restrain movement, such as strollers and bouncy seats. • Limit screen time, including TV, video games and computers, to less than two hours a day. Avoid placing computers or television sets in children’s bedrooms so they can get the best sleep possible. • Encourage your kids to take part in sports teams, gymnastic and dance classes, and other activities that will get them moving. More ideas about healthy living for families can be found at www.healthychildren.org/growinghealthy. “No matter how old your child is, it’s never too early to establish household routines that foster healthy habits.” says McInerny.

This is a hammer by Samantha Mazzotta Cleaning up after the holidays Happy New Year! While the holidays might not quite be over, planning for post-holiday cleanup can help combat the winter blues and keep you from being that one house on the block that has a holiday wreath hanging on the door until July. Here are a few tips that might help holiday cleanup go a little easier: • If you have a real tree, check with your local government to find out if and when there is tree pickup and disposal in your

area. Otherwise, look for a tree disposal service nearby. Remove and pack away all the tree ornaments and decorations. The night before scheduled disposal or pickup, prep the tree. If the disposal service wants it in a tree bag, put the bag over the tree and cover the tree fully while it’s still in its stand. With a helper holding the tree in place, loosen the trunk from the stand and carefully lift away. Drain excess water from the stand into a sink, dry and store for next year. • When removing the

tree from the stand, don’t set the trunk down on the carpet or floor, as sap will create a sticky mess. Don’t use the tree as firewood: It’s not seasoned and the branches may have been pre-treated at the tree lot with chemi-

cals to prevent insects. • Use a shop vac to vacuum up pine needles, tinsel and other small debris from where the tree once sat. • Put used wrapping paper into the recycling bin -- don’t burn it in the

fireplace. • Tree sap on tile or wood floors, or on protective cloths, can be cleaned with warm water and soap. Sap on the carpet should be dabbed with a cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol un-

til the sap comes up. • Take down outdoor Christmas lights and decorations in clear weather. Work with a partner and use a sturdy ladder for lights on the roof eaves. Some DIYers replace burnt bulbs when they take down the lights, but I usually don’t, as I often have to replace burned or broken bulbs next holiday season anyway. Wrap the strands around a piece of cardboard to keep them from tangling, and store in a dry, cool place until next year. HOME TIP: “To clean up tinsel stuck in the carpet, I put my grandkids to work by having them put on thick socks, stick folded-over duct tape all along the bottoms, and scoot around the floor! It works great! — Mary B., Watertown, MA (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

Hello Again

During the mid-spring and early summer, carp can be seen swimming in Hayden Creek at the former Ryerson golf course, now known as the Otsego Golf Club on the north end of Otsego Lake. Now this big fish whopper could be thought to be a bit of blarney but it’s not. However, the huge carp story appeared in the Williamsport, PA Grit on July 18, 1982 and actually happened on June 5, 1910. So that was the big news of the day 102 years ago.

Twenty-some-odd years ago we spent the Christmas holidays with my brother and his family in Portadown, Ireland. In a normal year, Ireland has only a dusting of snow but that year the television weather station claimed it was the heaviest snow fall in over 50 years.

Soon 2012 will become part of our history. History that each of us helped to create, for we do not walk this life without leaving our own footprints. We have made new friends, said goodbye to others.

They tell me the Fred Lee and the Lee Family old-time hillbillies of West Virginia prepared for winter by stilling enough moonshine to hold out until spring. Their excuse for daily consumption was health reasons; it didn’t really cure anything but with a few daily slugs of moonshine, you didn’t know you were sick.

Back in the late 1950’s I owned a garage in Cooperstown named the Lee Goodyear Center. It was amazing. Two to three days before a major snow storm, only a few purchased snow tires and the morning of the first storm the garage, with its parking lot, was packed with cars waiting for new Goodyear snow tires. Several of our customers would come in to have chains mounted on the rear wheels Jan. 2, 2013 and occasionally front wheels too. Was this a good example of procrastination or did they somehow convince themselves that this There is one thing you have to give to the Irish. They are a very year it wouldn’t snow?

Dollars and sense by David Uffington How to deal quickly with holiday debt Did you overspend during the holidays? Have you loaded up your credit cards with debt? It’s easy to do. Retailers go all out to get consumers to let go of cash, and there’s the not-so-small desire to provide a happy season for loved ones. Now, however, it’s time to take a hard look at the debt that’s been incurred.

When the bills arrive in January, open them immediately. Make a chart showing the total balance and the minimum monthly payment for each. Decide how much you can pay monthly on each one until all the balances are brought to zero. At the very least, pay a few dollars more than the minimum, as this is something that goes on your credit report.

Check the interest rates and put extra money into the payments for those cards with higher rates. Ideally, you should be able to pay off all your holiday debt in three payments, if not sooner. If you can’t, add extra money to those payments to the extent you reasonably can. As you pay off one card, use that payment amount to put extra on another card payment each month.

Here’s what happens if you let the debts linger and only make minimum payments: You’ll keep paying more interest. A sale item is no longer a sale item once you add months of interest to its cost. Your buying power is diminished. You’re paying today with money you haven’t earned yet. Your borrowing power is reduced. In the event of an emergency where you

must take out a loan, you might be limited in how much you can borrow because of the debt you’ve already taken on. Your credit score can take a hit if you’ve put too much on your credit cards. Going over a certain percentage of total credit availability shows up as a negative in your score, and it will continue that way until you pay enough of the balance. If the excess debt leads to

late payments or paying only minimum payments, your credit score will suffer. Debt hangs over your head, day after day. It doesn’t go away — until you pay it off. If you received cash for holiday gifts, consider using that to bring down some of your debt. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

Senior news line by Matilda Charles Resolve to live a lessserious life I’ll share with you what my biggest New Year’s resolution is going to be. I resolve to become less serious this year. To this end, I’m going to: • Turn off the television completely at least one

day a week. The news is rarely good, and the commercials are increasingly about drugs for serious diseases. If I need to know what the weather will be like tomorrow or the next day, the Weather Channel will let me know without also filling my head with all the more serious news of the day.

• Read humorous authors. To name a few, Rita M. Brown, Fanny Flagg and Garrison Keillor come to mind. The librarian will be able to suggest others, I’m sure. • Revisit the books of my childhood and see if I still love them. “The Boxcar Children,” a few Nancy Drew mysteries and

“Huckleberry Finn” are on my list. • Subscribe online to a joke a day. They’ll come by email, and they’re promised to be suitable for everyone. I’ll even take a few elephant jokes. (Remember those?) • Order pizza (or something similar) delivered to my house once a month.

No, it’s not on my diet, but that’s the point. On that day I won’t cook or do dishes after dinner. • Revive my stamp collection. No, I won’t spend a lot of money on it, but there are a few stamps that could fill in some blanks on the pages. It’ll be relaxing to flip through the pages, attend the

monthly stamp and coin show, and talk to people who are in love with stamps. Who knows ... I might get to like this less-serious lifestyle. Want to join me? Start making your list! (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

This new year, resolve to get more sleep (StatePoint) — There are many popular New Year’s resolutions that quickly come and go: eating healthy, losing weight, managing stress and saving money. In 2013, why not focus on one health change you’ll enjoy sticking to... getting more sleep. According to the National Sleep Foundation, the average American sleeps about six hours

and 55 minutes per night during the week, and 15 percent of adults sleep less than six hours per night. “Lack of sleep can take a significant toll on your overall health and interfere with some of your daily activities,” said Dr. Michael Thorpy, director of the Sleep-Wake Disorders Center at the Montefiore Medical Center in New York.

Almost everybody has trouble sleeping now and then, but many Americans experience significant problems getting to sleep or continually wake up in the middle of the

National Sleep Foundation, if you have trouble falling asleep at night or staying asleep, or you wake up in the morning feeling unrefreshed, you may be suffering from in-

sleep, while others wake up in the middle of the night and have difficulty falling back asleep. To help you get better sleep this year, Dr. Thorpy suggests these simple

night and can’t fall back asleep. Such problems may be clinical symptoms of insomnia. According to the

somnia. Insomnia can affect people in different ways. Some sufferers have trouble initially getting to

tips: • Set and stick to a sleep schedule. Establish a regular bedtime and wake time.

• Set aside time at night to “wind down.” Spend some quiet time before bedtime. Such activities as watching TV, using the computer or working right before bedtime, or in the bedroom, can make it harder to fall asleep. • Avoid caffeine and alcohol before bed. • Exercise regularly. Just don’t exercise rigorously near bedtime and check with your doctor before starting an exercise regimen. • Don’t clock-watch. If you awaken in the middle of the night and stay in bed, don’t lie there staring at the clock. And don’t watch TV or use your laptop or cell phone, because these technologies stimulate the brain, making it tougher to fall back to sleep. If these tips don’t help, speak with your healthcare professional to help determine if you are suffering from insomnia and require treatment.

Then found that the kit you purchased does not have the particular wheels (or tires, or engine, or seats...) which you want to add tho your model? Sometime you may find a model kit that includes the piece or pieces you seek... but, why spend money for a second model, from which you intend to use only a few pieces? UPTOWN AUTOMOTIVE has a selection of individual parts and pieces, so you don’t have to buy that second kit for your project.
