ATTENTION TAXPAYERS of the TOWN OF PALATINE

If you recall, your Town Board voted to purchase a new 10-wheel plow truck at a very high cost to the taxpayer ($215,000.00). With this purchase it keeps the town’s plowing fleet at 6 trucks to do 67 miles of roads. Last month I listed a few of the Townships in Montgomery County as to how they handle their snow removal, The following is a continuation of that list: Town of Florida - 5 Trucks - 92 miles of roads Town of Minden - 4 Trucks - 88 miles of roads Town of Mohawk - 4 Trucks - 65 miles of roads Town of Amsterdam - 5 Trucks - 59 miles of roads

Next month I will conclude this list using the last two Townships as an example of what can be done to keep our ever-expanding budget under control.

If you are interested in attending a town meeting, it is held the 4th Wednesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. at 141 W. Grand St., Palatine Bridge.

Original Valley PENNYSAVER • March 9, 2013

March 9, 2013 Hello Again, What's new in your life? What would you say if I told you one of our local boys would someday become one of the greatest unsung heroes of the United States and most of the industrialized countries of the world?

Let's wander back 131 years ago to May 1882 and visit the Kaiser family home in Sprout Brook, New York, just a few miles south of Fort Plain and Canajoharie. While visiting at a little house in the Sprout Brook village, father Kaiser's greeting attached to a big friendly smile, while handing you the customary cigar, would have said, "We have a big baby son born early this morning. We named him Henry J. Kaiser."

Father Kaiser would never live long enough to learn his little baby son 60 years later, in the 1940's, would become one of America's greatest earthly saviors or end up becoming an unsung hero.

Without his genius and effort we - of the United States - probably would have lost the 2nd World War. Britain and Europe would absolutely have fallen under Hitler's control.

During the early years of the II World War, German "U" boats patrolled the Atlantic Ocean between the American continent and Europe. These U-boats, or submarines, were able to destroy or sink nearly ever military or commercial ocean vessel the U.S. sent to aid the war effort. The major problem we were not able to protect these troop-armament ships due to lack of destroyer ships, escort-type ships whose job was to surround and hold off the subs. In fact, we did not have enough ships to support the war effort to start with.

During those early war years, huge airplanes had not come into the picture. A ship, or hundreds of ships, was the only answer. No ships - no men - no armaments. Hitler would have gained control of most of the European and American continent countries.

We could not build ships fast enough. Generally speaking, it took several months to build one ship large enough to serve in the war effort. Crossing the Atlantic Ocean was an easy target for Hitler's submarines.

Henry J. Kaiser, by the 1940's, was already in his 60's, and had proven himself to be a very accomplished businessman. After studying the present ship building process he formulated a plan to build prefabricated ships and instead of being bolted together by thousands of bolts, they developed a welding procedure attaching large prefabricated sections together and not bolted one piece at a time.

The name Henry Kaiser exploded on the country when one of his liberty ships was built in 4 days as opposed to several months. I read somewhere a smaller ship was actually prefabricated and completely built in less than three days.

The Kaiser invention, pre-fabricated welded wartime ships, made it possible to turn out completed ships in weeks rather than several months. It has been said that the Kaiser-built Liberty ships were one of the main reasons for our country's and England's success in winning World War II.

During the war years, Kaiser's shipyards built thousands of ships, and we all know who won the war.

Original Valley PENNYSAVER • March 9, 2013

We introduced this short bio of Henry Kaiser as one of our local boys. In addition to shipbuilding, what else did Henry J. of Sprout Brook do? While still in his 30's and 40's, his company built roads all over the country and in Cuba, and built the Hoover and Grand Coulee Dams. Later in life after the Second World War he manufactured Kaiser-Frazier cars along with Jeeps, was a hospital builder and the founder of Kaiser Aluminum and Kaiser Steel in California and Hawaii while becoming one of the largest property owners in California and Hawaii.

The little "Henry J" was born ahead of its time.

Most American's favored bigger cars with more horse power. Now it appears Henry Kaiser could look into the future and see the need for smaller - more economical cars. My father loved his Henry J.

The standard size Kaiser cars were considered to be the safest cars on the road.

What point are we trying to make with this biography of Henry J. Kaiser? Simply this - this person who was born here in our valley was able in his life to start, own, and control huge industries in this country creating possibly millions of jobs and if we pull together, that is all of us, we can accomplish something truly worth while for the Palatine Corridor.

There is a saying, "It doesn't count where we start from. It only matters where we end up." May I add, if we don't get started we will end up in the same place. First a dream - then hope - next action.

I've heard spring is just around the corner although it might be advisable to not pack away your long johns. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, while a smile creates new friends.

An upstate New York crop farmer, while visiting with a representative of the Department of Agriculture, stated that his next door farmer friend always seemed to be luckier with crops than he was. For example, he said he receives more rain. "That's strange," replied the government man. "How is that possible?" he asked. "He's got more land than I do," was the reply.

Still curious of the better luck the neighbor seemed to have, the Department of Agriculture representative asked another neighbor for some insight. The neighbor said, "Maybe the weather doesn't agree with him."

For about 2,000 years, the Lord's Prayer has been understood, appreciated, and recited. It contains 56 words; Lincoln's Gettysburg address was 260 words, taught to fifth graders and understood. The Declaration of Independence, with 3,000 words is loved and appreciated. While Obama's health program is nearly 3,000 pages and no one understands what it says.

Take your problems to the Lord and thank him for choosing you to live.

In Loving Memory of Robert Paul Crouse Sr. It’s been a year since you’ve been gone, but it really doesn’t seem that long.

I see you all around the house in everything I touch. I guess that’s only natural when you loved someone so much.

Your children are coping the best they can but in reality they wish that once more they could touch your hand.

We take comfort in knowing you are no longer in pain and that you can walk and talk once again.

Our 50 and 1/2 years together went so fast but of me you have not seen the last.

We will surely be together again in God’s time and in the meantime, I will try to do all the things you wanted me to do.

Love You Always,

Your wife Karen And Children

Charleston Church’s 200th anniversary celebration set May 27 Dear Member of the Community, I would like to extend an invitation for you to take part in a special Memorial Day parade in Charleston Four Corners on Monday, May 27, at noon. As a part of the Charleston Church’s 200th anniversary celebration, the church, with the support of the Town of Charleston’s Supervisor, Bob Sullivan, is organizing the parade for the community and inviting the citizens, organizations and businesses from the Mohawk Valley

Region to be involved in the parade.

If you are interested in participating in the parade or have questions about this event, please contact me at 518-922-9088 or brettmpopp@juno.c om by Friday, March 22. I am encouraging veterans, fire companies, farmers, businesses, organizations (churches, historical societies, VFWs, elected leaders, etc.), and individuals to become involved in an effort to showcase their equipment, business, organization, personal

hobbies (antique cars, tractors, motorcycles, etc) and a patriotic spirit.

Immediately following the parade, which will begin at the Charleston Volunteer Firehouse and conclude in the Charleston Cemetery (approximately 3/10 of a mile down E. Lykers Rd.), there will be a brief service to celebrate Memorial Day in the cemetery and then a free cookout across the street for everyone in the community who attends and/or participates in the parade. Hot dogs,

chips, and beverages will be available for everyone to enjoy!

Thank you for helping to make our local community a special place to live, and I hope that you will consider taking part in the Memorial Day parade and festivities that will follow. You are encouraged to tell others about this event and are welcomed to toss candy to children and hand out information about your organization to adults that have come out to watch the parade.

Sincerely, Pastor Brett Popp

Collecting

by Larry Cox Fountain pen Q: I have a Sheaffer’s Lifetime fountain pen, in excellent condition. How much is it worth? — Mrs. F.V., Rio Rancho, NM A: According to “Collecting Pens” by Edward Kiersh, if your pen was manufactured in 1950 and is a Lifetime Triumph with Touchdown filler, it could be worth $125 in new to excellent condition.

Q: We have a stovetop waffle iron that was manufactured by Stover. We would like to know if it has any value as a collectible.

— Hershel and Freda,

Jackson, MO A: Prices depend on rarity and desirability.

Although I could not find your particular waffle iron in my reference books, a rule of thumb is that the more intricate the waffle iron, the higher the price. For example, the Yum Yum waffle iron manufactured by Griswold for hotel kitchens is valued at between $500 and $1,200, depending on size and model. Most of the other simpler ones fall into the $40 to $100 range, again depending on rarity and desirability. I would think that your waffle iron might fall into that range, too.

by David Uffington Book your summer vacation early The earlier you finalize your summer vacation plans, the better chance you have to lock in lower rates and avoid disappointment later.

Here are a few ideas of what’s available: Disney World (disneyworld.disney.go.co m): Enjoy a four-day, three-night stay with the 2013 Magic Your Way Package for $1,505 for a family of four -- two adults, one junior (age 10-17) and one child (age 3-9).

You’ll stay in one of the value resorts and have tickets to one of the four theme parks every day. Be aware of what is not included: the water park, children’s centers, meals, Cirque du Soleil, select tours and access to the golf course. Those cost more, although you will be given discounts to the spa, children’s center, fishing excursion and more. Only certain dates apply, so book early.

Club Med (www.clubmed.us) — Starting in May 2013, children under age 4 can go for free. Book quickly and you can have a seven-night, all-inclusive vacation for $699 per person.

“All-inclusive” means nearly everything is included: accommodations, meals, snacks and activities.

The available period is from Aug. 24 to April 27, 2014, at resorts in Florida, Mexico and the Caribbean. Club

Med membership fees of $60 per adult and $30 per child are additional. For more information, call 888-9322582 or talk to your travel agent.

The National Park Service (www.nps.gov) manages parks all over the country.

Whether you prefer the mountains, seashore or places in between, the national parks have a lot to offer. At the website you can search by state or features of interest. As an example, if you enter “cabins” in the search box, you’ll be shown a list of all the parks with a variety of cabins to rent, ranging from those which are designated as historical landmarks and built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s, to those that are fully modern with electricity, hot water and central air conditioning.

Search by state, and you’ll see a list of all parks in the state, further searchable by areas of interest. Click each dot on the map and you’ll be shown information on individual locations. You’ll be directed to www.recreation.gov to make online reservations. Specify your location and dates, and you’ll be shown the availability. The longer you want to reserve a space, the more flexible you’ll need to be with your travel dates. (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

Dollars and sense

by David Uffington Low interest rates not always a bargain With mortgage interest rates remaining low, people who buy a home this spring may be lulled into accepting the rates they’re offered, certain that whatever they get is a good deal compared to previous years.

Without looking closely at all the details, however, additional factors can come into play that make a low interest rate not much of a bargain after all.

Go Banking Rates (www.gobankingrates .com) offers four things to watch for when signing up for a new mortgage.

Length of the loan: While 30-year fixed rate mortgages have been the most popular for years, new options allow some consumers to stretch their mortgage out for 40 years or even 50 years. At first glance, this extra 10 to 20 years brings the monthly payment down and may allow consumers to move up into properties they never would have been able to consider.

However, the length of the loan means that much more interest will be paid over the life of the loan.

Private Mortgage Insurance: Consumers who purchase a home with less than a full 20 percent down have to purchase private mortgage insurance,

which is insurance for the lender in case of default.

Not only is PMI expensive (1/2 percent to 1 percent of the total loan), but the cost, when added to monthly expenses, could keep a consumer from qualifying for a home in a particular price bracket.

PMI is supposed to be cancelled when the home reaches an 80 percent loan-to-value ratio. In truth, PMI is very difficult to get rid of, as lenders will change the requirements.

Overvalued property: Municipalities don’t change their tax assessments every year, so a property may still be listed at a higher rate, even though property values have dropped.

Appeals to the property tax board should be done quickly, if there’s any doubt about whether the assessment is current.

Refunds often are limited to only the prior year.

Refinancing: Even if refinancing at a lower rate, there might not be any real savings.

The reason is that the old loan is being retired and a new loan generated — with all the typical costs of a brand-new home mortgage. Be sure to find out in advance what each of the fees and closing costs will be. (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

How do I know if I’m ready to buy a home?

You can find out by asking yourself some questions: Do I have a steady source of income (usually a job)?

Have I been employed on a regular

basis for the last 2-3 years?

Is my current income reliable?

Do I have a good record of paying my bills?

Do I have few out-

standing long-term debts, like car payments?

Do I have money saved for a down payment?

Do I have the ability to pay a mortgage

every month, plus additional costs?

If you can answer “yes” to these questions, you are probably ready to buy your own home.

Top tips for creating your wedding registry (StatePoint) — Just engaged? Before those wedding bells ring, you’re going to do lots of planning in the months ahead. While most of your preparations will only matter on the first day of your marriage, your wedding registry will impact your happily ever after.

Wedding experts say to ensure domestic bliss, make the most of your registry with proper planning, research and free resources.

• Don’t delay: You’ll likely have multiple occasions that requires gift-giving on the part of friends and family. So register early.

Opt for a registry that offers convenience and good customer service. A store with locations nationwide and an online ordering system will make it easy for you and your guests.

• Take inventory: Assess what you already have, what you don’t have and what needs replacing. A walk through your home using a registry checklist can help you build a list.

Marriage has no guarantees.

If that’s what you’re looking for, go live with a car battery.

-Erma Bombeck

Talk to your fiancée and work together.

Also, think about what you need now and in the future — you might be dining for two, but soon you could be hosting a dinner party for 12 and will want dinnerware worthy of the occasion.

• Ask for help: Don’t be shy about seeking advice.

Visit a store and talk with an expert consultant who can help with gift selections and offer tips on what you’ll need to enjoy your home.

Be sure to research the items that go on your registry. Touch the towels, hold the flatware — you may need to visit the store multiple times to get it right. If you change your mind, remember it’s always possible to update your registry online at any time.

• Dream big and small: Not all guests will be working with the same budget, so include a range of items at various price points.

Guests will appreciate the variety for individual and group gifts.

• Return Policy: Check a store’s return policy before registering so you can return or exchange any gift on your list and live hasslefree ever after.

Love is no assignment for cowards.

-Ovid

A good marriage is the union of two good forgivers.

-Ruth Bell Graham

Popular remodeling trends for spring home improvement (BPT) — It’s time to think spring which means fresh home updates. Spring home improvement projects will help you update your home, add comfort and save more of your hard-earned paycheck.

“You can save time, money and stress by planning ahead,” says Kathy Krafka Harkema, Pella Windows and Doors expert.

“Seek out expert advice, research product options and schedule home remodeling projects now, while you have the time to plan it and get on the schedule of contractors.”

Jumpstart your spring projects with inspiration from these 2013 remodeling trends: Energy-saving updates From low-volatile organic compound (VOC) paints and adhesives to more energy-efficient windows and furnaces, spring projects can help improve air quality and increase your comfort. Look for ENERGY STAR-qualified products that

help lower your home’s energy consumption, and in turn, your utility bills.

Better bathrooms For many homeowners, sought-after remodeling projects for 2013 will include kitchen upgrades, bathroom remodels and master bedroom suite renovations.

Bathroom remodeling options can include heated bathroom flooring, custom tile and stonework, custom vanity and cabinetry, beautiful bathtubs, showers and fixtures, low-profile linear shower drains and big windows to let in more natural sunlight.

Hot kitchens Yahoo! Homes says 2013 kitchen remodeling trends focus on practical, durable and do-it-yourself (DIY) projects like refacing kitchen cabinets, adding quartz composite countertops, hardwood-looking engineered floors, deep bowl kitchen sinks, commercialstyle or built-in appliances and mixing colors and tones on cabinets.

Tips for knowing when it’s time to replace products on your home (BPT) — Owning a home means giving constant attention to the building products that go into protecting the structure of your house.

While we’d like to believe items like our roof, siding and windows will last forever, that’s not the case.

Mark Clement, co-host of the national home improvement radio show MyFixitUp Life, offers a variety of tips for knowing when it’s time to replace products on your home.

Tips for evaluating your roof 1. Using either a ladder or binoculars from across the street, look for problem areas, such as missing or broken shingles, along with roofing tiles that may be “flapping” in the wind.

2. Check the sides of your roof. The southern exposure weathers significantly faster than the other sides of the roof, so make sure to carefully examine this area. Also, shallower pitches weather faster than steeper pitches. So again, if your roof has a shallow pitch — like a shed dormer — make certain you can clearly see it to get a true indication of the condition of your roof.

Tips for assessing your windows 1. Evaluate the functionality of your current windows. If you have condensation between glass panes, the windows are hard to open or close, your energy bills are soaring, or if there are drafts coming in around the window units, then it’s time to seriously consider replacement windows.

2. Look at the frames of your windows. If you spend too much time scraping paint and repainting wood frames, consider an investment in vinyl-framed, low-maintenance windows.

Tips for knowing when to replace a front door 1. If you can see light around your main entry door from the inside, the door is hard to close or lock, or the door itself is warped, it’s time to consider a new door.

2. Think about the weather conditions your home’s door faces along with your energy bills.

If either run to the extreme, consider replacing your entry door with a high-performance fiberglass door. Doors with enhanced weather stripping, corner seal pad, door bottom sweep and profiled sill provide more strength and stability in your entry door.

Social Security benefits and your taxes Here are five tips from the IRS to help you determine if your benefits are taxable: 1. The amount of your income and your filing status affect whether you must pay taxes on your Social Security.

2. If Social Security was your only income in 2012, your benefits are probably not taxable. You also may not need to file a federal income tax return.

3. If you received income from other sources, then you may have to pay taxes on your benefits.

4. You can follow these two quick steps to see if your benefits are taxable: • Add one-half of the Social Security benefits you received to all your other income, including tax-exempt interest. Tax-exempt interest includes interest from state and municipal bonds.

• Next, compare this total to the ‘base amount’ for your filing status. If the total is more than your base amount, then some of your benefits may be taxable.

The three 2012 base amounts are: $25,000 for single, head of household, qualifying widow or widower with a dependent child or married individuals filing separately who did not live with their spouse at any time during the year; $32,000 for married couples filing jointly; and $0 for married persons filing separately who lived together at any time during the year.

5. If you use IRS e-file to prepare and file your tax return, the tax software will figure your taxable benefits for you. If you file a paper return, you can use the Interactive Tax Assistant tool on the IRS website to check if your benefits are taxable. The ITA is a resource that can help answer tax law questions. There also is a worksheet in the instructions for Form 1040 or 1040A that you can use to figure your taxable benefits.

Wacky St. Patrick’s Day celebrations For many, St. Patrick’s Day, celebrated on March 17, is a day to celebrate the patron saint of Ireland with some corned beef and a pint of Guinness.

But some places have their own peculiar celebrations.

Did you know that the Chicago River is dyed green every year on St. Paddy’s Day? In Hot Springs, AR, you can find the world’s shortest St.

Patrick’s Day parade — a whopping 98 feet down Bridge Street.

Marchers include Irish Elvis impersonators and a middle-age troupe called Lards of the Dance. Residents of New London, WI, get into the spirit by dressing as leprechauns and changing town signs to say “New Dublin.”

Green beer and an Irish Elvis — now that’s a celebration!

A best friend is like a four leaf clover: hard to find and lucky to have. ~Author Unknown

For each petal on the shamrock This brings a wish your way — Good health, good luck, and happiness.

For today and every day. ~Author Unknown

Never iron a four-leaf clover, because you don’t want to press your luck.

May the Irish hills caress you.

May her lakes and rivers bless you.

May the luck of the Irish enfold you.

May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.

What do you get when you cross poison ivy with a four-leaf clover? A rash of good luck.

~Irish Blessing

How to improve your vehicle’s fuel efficiency (NAPSI) — Your car can go farther for less if you take a few steps to keep it efficient.

It helps to take meticulous care of your vehicle by following the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedules and using the right products inside and out. This includes getting your oil changed, rotating your tires, checking hoses and belts for wear, replacing worn windshield wipers and keeping your vehicle clean.

Another way to

extend the life of your vehicle and improve fuel efficiency is to make sure your fuel system is clean.

To help, here are a few fuel system basics.

What does a fuel system do? A fuel system’s job is to properly maintain fuel demand. The fuel is eventually sprayed from the fuel injectors into the intake stream and into the combustion chamber.

What does a fuel system consist of?

Best Quality Best Service • Best Price returnless fuel system, it can consist of the fuel tank, fuel pump, sending fuel lines, fuel rail, fuel injectors, fuel pressure regulator and returning fuel lines. If you have a returnless system, there is no fuel pressure regulator or return fuel lines.

How do I know my fuel system needs to be cleaned? If your fuel injectors have become clogged from deposits, they are not able to provide the wide and fine spray of fuel needed for the spark to ignite it.

There are a few signs that may indicate you need to clean your fuel system.

• You are getting lower gas mileage.

• There is a hesitation when you put your foot on the gas pedal.

• You are experiencing a loss of power when driving your vehicle.

One easy and convenient solution is to use a total fuel system cleaner.

Fuel system maintenance can easily be added to your regular vehicle maintenance routine.

Not only will it improve your vehicle’s fuel efficiency, it can save you from having to make costly repairs that may be needed when fuel deposits are left to build up.

Shamrocks for St. Patrick’s Day

by Dr. Leonard Perry, Extension Professor, University of Vermont You don’t have to be Irish to wear green on St. Patrick’s Day, nor do you need a green thumb to grow shamrocks indoors.

This plant, which is associated with this March 17 holiday, is quite easy to grow.

Shamrocks are a member of the Oxalis (wood sorrel) family, which contains more than 300 species. Most of these grow from small bulbs although some have tuberous roots. The distinguishing characteristic is the three rounded or triangular-shaped leaves at

the end of delicate stems.

Most oxalis plants fold up their leaves at night, hugging them tight to the stems until daylight “wakes them up” again — described botanically as “nyctinastic movement.”

Due to oxylates in plants, they may be toxic to cats, dogs, and horses if ingested in large quantities.

The familiar St. Patrick’s Day species (Oxalis acetosella) is available at florist shops and many grocery stores this time of year. It has tiny, dark green, triangular leaves and grows to a height of about six inches. This variety hails from Europe, Iceland, and Asia. It is not the official Irish shamrock (Trifolium dubium) — a yellow-flowered clover or trefoil — which is what the majority feel is the

authentic species. That clover is difficult to grow indoors, so nurseries and florists sell Oxalis plants instead.

If you are wondering how the shamrock became part of Irish history, there are many explanations going back to the significance placed by the ancient Celtic peoples in the number three.

The most popular story is that St. Patrick, who is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland in the second half of the fifth century, once plucked a shamrock from the grass at his feet to illustrate the doctrine of the Holy Trinity to his congregation.

St. Patrick’s Day, which is celebrated on the anniversary of his death, also heralds the arrival of spring. The shamrock was adopted as a symbol of both this patron saint and the “season of rebirth,” and can be seen on ancient coins and medieval tombs.

Shamrocks like cool air, moist soil (except in their dormant period),

and bright light. Ideal temperatures are between 50 and 65 degrees (F), and over 75 degrees may cause plants to become dormant. Soils should not be kept too wet or waterlogged. If the plant yellows, it may be getting too much water and roots may rot. Too little water and it obviously wilts. Too little light, or too much warmth, and plants may get tall and lanky.

They do not have an extensive root system, so unlike many plants, actually prefer to be crowded in a pot. However, if the plant dries out too quickly, you may need to move it into a larger pot.

Fertilize every two to three weeks while the plant is actively growing or flowering, using regular houseplant fertilizer.

For application rate, follow directions on the container.

Be aware that no matter how much care you give this plant, at times it will look sick and lose its leaves. This dormant period, which often occurs

during summer, is part of the growing process common to all plants grown from bulbs. During dormancy, stop watering.

Let the leaves die back naturally, then remove dead, brown leaves. Place the plant in a cool, dark place while it goes through its dormancy period. Plants generally “sleep” for about three months.

New green shoots signal that the plant is waking up and needs to be moved back into the light.

To divide your shamrocks, wait until the bulbs reach the end of a dormant cycle. Take them out of the pot, and remove small side bulbs.

Then replant, just under the surface, in a mix of potting soil and sand.

Place in a non-south facing window. Water, keeping the surface just moist to the touch, until plants become established.

Other Oxalis varieties have similar growth requirements though many go through a shorter, or no, dormancy period. Depending on the variety,

the plant may have yellow, white, pink, purple, or red flowers and grow as tall as 10 inches. Leaf color ranges from dark green to deep red. Those with dark red or purplish leaves only need about a month of dormancy.

Whether you are giving or getting shamrocks this St. Patrick’s Day, there’s one more thing to keep in mind. Because these plants go dormant, shamrocks are not suitable for growing with other houseplants in mixed pots or planters. If you get a mixed basket of plants, after the holiday, separate the shamrock from the rest and replant in its own container.

Don’t wait until the plant turns yellow or sickly looking. By then, its roots will be deeply intertwined with the roots of other plants and will be difficult to transplant.

By giving your Shamrock plant bright light, even moisture, and cool temperatures, and letting it go dormant during summer, it should provide years of enjoyment.

Chow Line: When ground beef turns gray

Spon Charl sored by th eston e associ Church in a tio Charl eston’ n with s Bob S Supervisor ullivan .

Q: Sometimes when I open a package of ground beef, the meat has turned grayish brown on the inside. It smells okay, but it doesn’t look very appetizing and I wonder if it’s safe to eat. Is it?

A: Most likely, it’s fine. Ground beef’s bright red color comes from a pigment, myoglobin, which becomes red when exposed to oxygen (turning it into oxymyoglobin).

The plastic wrap covering the ground beef you see in the grocery store is permeable, allowing some oxygen to seep through and keep the meat on the exterior red. But ground beef that’s not exposed to oxygen — like the meat that’s on the interior — will often lose its red color after a few days.

However, if the ground beef is gray or brown throughout, it could be beginning to spoil. If you do detect an off odor or if the meat seems sticky or slimy, throw it away. Although bacteria that cause spoilage don’t always cause illness, there’s no sense in taking a chance.

Bacteria that can cause illness are really of more concern, but unfortunately they don’t announce their presence through changes in appearance or aroma.

Salmonella, E. coli O157:H7 (or other types of E. coli that produce Shiga toxin), Campylobacter jejuni, Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus have all been associated with ground beef and can cause severe illness, or even fatalities, especially in vulnerable people including children, the elderly or anyone who lives with a chronic illness. To minimize the chance that these bacteria could multiply and thereby increase the risk they could cause illness, be sure ground beef is stored at 40 degrees F or lower, cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, and otherwise handled properly.

Ground beef should be kept in the refrigerator — in the coldest part — for only one or two days before being cooked. Place it in the freezer for longer-term storage, but even there it can lose quality over time; it’s best to use it within four months.

Use freezer paper or freezer-quality plastic bags to help prevent freezer burn — indicated by grayish-brown leathery spots on the surface. That’s caused by air coming into contact with the food. Again, those spots aren’t unsafe, but they’ll be tasteless and chewy; you’ll want to trim them away either before or after cooking.

The U.S. Agriculture Department has more information about safety and quality issues related to ground beef on its Food Safety and Inspection Service website, at http://bit.ly/grdbeef.

Welcome to Maple Weekend March 16-17 and 23-24, 2013 10 AM-4 PM each day We all knew that Maple Weekend was a fun event for the entire family. Now scientific research shows there's something more to the taste of sweet, delicious maple syrup - it might just keep you healthy. Recent studies have uncovered some significant health benefits.

A University of Rhode Island researcher has found 20 compounds in maple syrup that play an important role in our health (ScienceDaily, 30 Mar. 2011).

Some of these compounds have been shown to fight cancer, diabetes and bacterial illnesses.

Other established health benefits of pure maple syrup include the calcium and potassium content - a quarter cup of maple syrup has more calcium than the same amount of milk and more potassium than a banana.

The New York State Maple Producers Association invites families from across the Empire State and neighboring areas to learn all about the production of maple syrup and other related products. Our goal during Maple Weekend is to share the taste of real mouth-watering maple syrup with you. Maple producers will demonstrate how to make syrup -- whether it's simply boiling the sap over an open fire or running it through highly scientific equipment -- the results always taste great!

New York State maple syrup has established a reputation as one of the highest quality maple syrups in the world. Maple Weekend allows New York Maple producers to demonstrate the superiority of their product, and invites the public to sugarhouses to try for themselves.

From the first Maple Sunday in Wyoming County in the mid 1990s to today's state-wide Maple Weekend event, the goal remains the same -- to give the public a first-hand opportunity to see how maple products are produced, from tree to table, along with the chance to taste and purchase maple products. This year, Maple Weekend takes place March 16-17 and 23-24 from 10 AM - 4 PM each day. Check our Locations page for a producer near you and to see the dates and times that they're open.

Keep personal health concerns in mind and ‘Eat Right, Your Way, Every Day’ in National Nutrition Month, says Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics If you have a chronic condition like hypertension or diabetes, a carefully planned diet can have a significant impact on managing your symptoms and improving your health. During National Nutrition Month®, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics encourages consumers to develop a healthful eating plan that is centered on personal health concerns and “Eat Right, Your Way, Every Day.” “While many people understand the role diet plays in overall health, you can actually prevent and manage specific diseases by eating healthfully, as well,” said registered dietitian and Academy spokesperson Angela Lemond.

“For instance, eating heart-healthy foods can help lower high blood pressure, which reduces the risk of both heart attack and stroke. Even if you do not have high blood pressure, eating a heart-healthy diet reduces your chances of heart disease in the future,” Lemond said.

“A healthy eating plan that keeps health concerns in mind will also incorporate individual needs including personal nutrient requirements, food preferences, lifestyle and level of physical activity,” Lemond said.

She offers tips to “Eat Right, Your Way, Every Day” while also preventing and managing some of the most common food-related medical conditions: Hypertension and heart disease • Balance calories with physical activity to manage weight.

• Increase the variety of nutrient-rich foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fat-free and low-fat dairy products and seafood.

• Consume fewer foods with sodium (salt), saturat-

ed fats, trans fats, cholesterol, added sugars and refined grains.

Diabetes “To successfully manage diabetes, you need to understand how foods and nutrition affect your body,” said Lemond. “Good health depends on eating a variety of foods that contain the right amounts of carbohydrates, protein and healthy fats, as well as vitamins, minerals, fiber and water.”

• Eat meals and snacks at regularly scheduled times.

• Eat about the same amount of food at each meal or snack.

• Choose healthful foods to support a healthy weight and heart including whole-grain breads, cereals, pastas and rice; vegetables and beans; fruits; lean meat, fish, poultry and tofu; low-fat or fat-free milk, cheese and yogurt; and healthy fats like olive oil.

• Carbohydrates affect your blood sugar more than protein or fat. Keep track of the amount of carbohydrates you eat to ensure your blood sugar stays in good control.

Food allergies and intolerances “When foods are cut from your diet, you may be short-changing yourself on important vitamins and minerals,” said Lemond. “A registered dietitian can help ensure you get the nutrition you need for your health and lifestyle.”

• Learn about ingredients in foods. Eggs, wheat, milk and other food allergens often are called by other names. Food companies specify on product labels if any major allergens are contained in the food.

• Read labels carefully. Manufacturers might change

ingredients of products without notice, so doublecheck ingredient labels every time you buy a food, even a familiar one.

• Talk with your day care, school and workplace.

Make sure school faculty and staff are aware of your child’s food allergies and that they know how to respond to adverse reactions your child may experience.

Similarly, inform your coworkers of allergies you have.

Some people are familiar with food allergies and know what to do if a person has a reaction; others may not and will need your help in keeping your risk for exposure low.

Obesity • Establish a new balance between calories consumed and calories burned through physical activity.

• Include fiber-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, beans and whole grains, which offer plenty of vitamins and minerals without plenty of calories while keeping you feeling full longer.

• Watch portion sizes to help manage calorie intake and cut back on empty calories from added sugars.

“No matter which health concern you have, you need a registered dietitian on your team who will work with you to put together a daily meal plan that takes into account your food preferences, level of physical activity and lifestyle,” said Lemond.

As part of this public education campaign, the Academy’s National Nutrition Month website includes a variety of helpful tips, games, promotional tools and nutrition education resources, all designed to spread the message of good nutrition around the “Eat Right, Your Way, Every Day” theme.

Get your car road trip ready for spring (BPT) — You may be dreaming about escaping on a vacation, but the sky-high costs of flights and cruises can quickly turn into a nightmare. If you’re looking to take a break without breaking the bank, a good, old-fashioned road trip could be the way to escape. Aside from packing snacks and preparing the perfect playlist, there are a few things you should consider before venturing out on the open road. A few updates and precautions can help you avoid the wear and potential safety hazards a long trip can have on your vehicle.

Trip-worthy tires Good tires are an integral aspect of vehicle safety, and it is extremely important to check your tires before heading on an extended road trip. According to the Car Care Council, thin tire treads create hazardous driving conditions, particularly on wet roadways. Thin or worn treads can cause tires to hydroplane and potentially lead to loss of control of the vehicle. To ensure tires wear evenly and avoid dangerous situations, it is commonly recommended to have tires rotated every 7,000 miles. This simple routine not only makes for a more dependable vehicle, but also saves money by extending the life of your tires. Replacing worn tires before a trip is also a good idea to ensure you will have no problems while far from home — plus, you may even see better gas mileage.

Brake check Checking your brakes is an extremely important aspect of routine vehicle maintenance, and you should be sure your brakes are in prime condition before a long journey. New brake pads and fluid may not be the most appealing travel expense, but will certainly save you the hassle and cost failed brakes can incur.

Routine maintenance Whether your trip is 100 miles or 1,000, checking your vehicle mechanics is important before heading out on the open road. This includes checking and changing your oil, coolant, brake and transmission fluids as needed. In addition to its inner workings, make sure all outside components of your vehicle are in top shape. Ensure headlights and blinkers work properly, inspect windshield wipers and review mirrors, and check windows for any cracks before setting out.

Take advantage of the preventative tips above and you will have your vehicle ready to hit the open road with no hiccups just in time for vacation season.
