Tips to spruce up your home for the holidays Holidays are when most people open their homes for friends and family. Sharing the season’s greetings is always the priority but these gatherings are also an opportunity to show off improvements made during the year. This is one of the reasons that autumn is a popular time for home improvements. Fifty-two percent of homeowners plan to make home improvements this fall, according to the leading real estate website Zillow. It is also a great time of year for deals as retailers unload inventory to make room for new styles. Creating a warm and inviting atmosphere includes much more than just poinsettias and Santa Claus centerpieces. There are a number of affordable steps homeowners can take to add a real “wow factor” to their holiday entertaining. Kitchen updates The kitchen is commonly one of the busiest rooms during the holidays. Since guests often gather there, it makes sense to make the space the focus for a few improvements before the holidays. Simple and inexpensive updates, such as adding new knobs and handles to cabinets or installing a new backsplash, will make a big difference. Stylish new light fixtures can also give your kitchen a quick facelift that will impress your guests. Install hardwood floors The warmth and beauty of hardPage 2

wood floors can transform the look and feel of your home to create a space that will stun your guests. And unlike carpet, hardwood floors do not stain or wear as easily from inevitable spills and foot traffic that the holidays bring.-Moreover, carpet traps dust, pollen and other particles that can cause allergies and respiratory issues. Visually unique flooring options such as Lumber Liquidators’ Bellawood Bamboo bring together both the aesthetic and practical advantages

of hardwood flooring. This flooring carries a 100-year transferable warranty that assures these benefits will be sustained for a lifetime of holiday gatherings. De-clutter It’s important to create inviting open space for guests to enjoy. Decluttering bookshelves and removing miscellaneous furniture can help make a room feel larger and more open, and will allow room for festive seasonal decor. Spending time to organize the refrigerator will make

space for any holiday dishes a guest brings. Improve the entry The front entry provides the first impression of a home, so it’s important to create a stylish, cared-for and welcoming look. Homeowners can complete small projects outside, such as updating house numbers, painting the front door and creating holidaythemed arrangements. Simple decor updates just inside the door - such as adding family photos and new rugs - will add a warm and personal feel.

Your holiday shopping guide : 4 ways to cut t h r o u g h t h e c l u tt e r t h i s h o l i d a y s e a s o n

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, but for you and your family, it’s also the busiest. The holidays bring trips to book, parties to plan, meals to cook, homes to clean and of course, work and school schedules to manage. On top of that, you have to tackle perhaps the most daunting task of all - the holiday shopping list. Can it be done? Of course it can! But you can make it a little easier with these four tips guaranteed to cut through the clutter and streamline holiday shopping. * Make your list and check it twice. Along with making a holiday budget, create a detailed list of everyone you need to buy for. Include specific sizes and the dollar amount you plan to spend on each person to save you time when you hit the store. You can also save your list to your phone for easy access right at your fingertips. * Stock up and spread cheer this year. Make sure to stock up on a few generic, gender-neutral gifts to have

on hand during the holidays should you receive an unexpected gift from your next-door neighbor or mailman. This way, you will be prepared to spread the joy of gifting no matter who shares it first! * Decide which deals belong on the naughty and nice list. Use your smartphone or other mobile device to research a store’s holiday deals ahead of time. For example, for a limited time Net10 Wireless is offering at Best Buy a free ZTE Unico smartphone and three months of unlimited talk, text and data up to 3 GB at 4G LTE speeds - all for $99 with in-store activation! (after reaching high speed data allocation service continues at 2G speed). A gift worth staying off the naughty list for! * Make sure the gifts under your tree are price match guarantee. Most stores offer price match guarantees throughout the year, but especially during the holiday season. Hold on to your receipts and keep an eye out for new ads and sales as the holidays get

closer. Price matching could be your ticket to further holiday savings. To learn more about additional wireless service options from Net10 Wireless, visit Net10Wireless.com. After reaching high speed data allocation, your service continues

at 2G speed. 4G/4G LTE networks are not available in all locations. Actual speed may also be limited by capability of device. LTE is a trademark of ETSI. Please refer to the latest Terms and Conditions of Service at NET10Wireless.com. - (BPT)

Holiday havoc? Consider it handled The holiday season is full of magic and wonder - until your flight gets cancelled, your budget is blown and you fall ill at the worst possible time. Fortunately, staying merry despite common holiday conundrums is easier than you think with the right attitude and a few simple steps. Here are some of the most notorious holiday hurdles, with practical advice for overcoming them and enjoying the best of the season. Holiday hang-up: Blown budget The holidays can get expensive fast. Buying something for everyone on your list shouldn’t put you in debt. Instead, think outside the box. Solution: Organize a gift exchange where each person draws one name and buys one gift. Additionally, consider homemade gifts to cut costs, as well as experiences, like taking kids sledding or ice skating. Holiday hang-up: Sickness From holiday travelers being confined in planes and trains to loved ones gathering under one room for festivities, it’s no surprise that germs are rampant during the holidays. Germs are not a gift anyone wants to receive and they can quickly strip a joyous occasion of all its fun. In fact, a recent survey by Robitussin found that 68 percent of people have been sick and miserable during holiday gatherings and 24 percent have had a holiday gathering ruined because a

family member was sick. Solution: Tis the season of giving, but sharing your germs will get you on Santa’s naughty list. One sick person at Christmas dinner can turn into the whole family ringing in the New Year while sick in bed. If you feel ill, be prepared with a medicine like Robitussin Severe Multi-Symptom Cough Cold + Flu, which provides relief for your worst symptoms. If you’re still not feeling yourself when festivities are occurring, it’s best to stay home. Try putting on comfy pajamas and binge watching your favorite holiday movies while you rest up. Sure, it stinks to miss the fun, but in the long run you’re protecting others from getting sick and giving yourself the rest you need to get well again. Holiday hang-up: Kids get the “gimmes” Commercialism runs high during the holiday season. Kids’ wish lists seem to grow with each passing day. You want them to focus on the “season of giving” and they want to focus on “the season of getting.” Solution: Show kids how good it feels to give back. There are many ways to help those in need, especially around the holidays. Try volunteering at a local nonprofit, donating gifts to a local shelter or assisting an elderly neighbor by shoveling their driveway. Be sure to encourage your kids to participate, too! Holiday hang-up: Travel problems Whether it’s a missed connection, delayed flight or the weather is too bad to drive, travel is difficult during the holiday season. Solution: If you’re stuck at home, make the best of it with a staycation. Sleep in, make yourself a big breakfast

and do all the things you never get to do. Explore the fun that’s available in your hometown, whether that’s a trip to the museum or splurging on tickets to the local theater. Spontaneous adventures can be some of the most memorable! Holiday hang-up: You burned the food Did you mess up Grandma’s famous apple pie? Do your gingerbread men look a little deranged? Are your kids concerned that Santa will refuse your holiday cookies? Kitchen fails happen to even the most skilled chefs. Solution: Always have a backup. An extra store-bought pie or cookies in the cupboard provide peace of mind. Plus, during the holiday crunch, avoid trying new recipes. Best to stick to tried-and-true for the best shot at success. Holiday hang-up: Unexpected party guests When your cousin RSVP’d for one but ended up bringing his new girlfriend, there’s no need to panic. Unexpected holiday guests can put you in a tailspin, but being flexible is all part of a memorable holiday adventure. Solution: Don’t stress! Now is a good time to remember the old saying, “the more the merrier!” Put out an extra table setting, grab that bottle of wine from the cupboard and slap a bow on the top for a quick gift. Savvy hosts and hostesses will plan ahead by keeping a few extra gifts on hand, so whether there’s an extra child looking for a present under the tree or an adult who needs a bit of holiday magic, you’re always set with the perfect present. - (BPT)

UCI MIND ANNOUNCES MARIA SHRIVER AS CELEBRITY HONOREE FOR 8 T H ANNUAL “A DECEM B ER T O REMEM B ER ” G ALA UCI MIND, Orange County’s only state and notes that Orange County is particularly susceptible

federally-funded Alzheimer’s disease research center, has announced that Maria Shriver, internationally renowned Alzheimer’s disease advocate, founder of The Women’s Alzheimer’s Movement, and former First Lady of California, will be honored at its 8th annual A December to Remember Gala on Saturday, December 2, 2017. “Maria Shriver is a champion for Alzheimer’s disease research, and is a voice of strength for many families and individuals who are suffering as a result of this disease,” says Dr. Joshua Grill, Co-Director of UCI MIND. “We are proud to partner with Ms. Shriver and honor her important work that continues to shine a light on Alzheimer’s disease.” Shriver is the founder of the Women’s Alzheimer’s Movement (WAM), a global alliance of individuals, organizations, researchers and industry leaders who are committed to studying Alzheimer’s disease and why it disproportionately affects women. “Every 66 seconds a new brain develops Alzheimer’s. Two-thirds of them belong to women, and no one knows why that is,” explains Shriver, who began her advocacy for the cause when her father was diagnosed with the disease in 2003. “This is a devastating disease that must be stopped. Through the support of local communities and research organizations such as UCI MIND, we will continue to work towards a cure.” Shriver’s organization seeks to bolster scientific pursuits to understand why women are at increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease, and to help all people take steps to improve brain health. WAM also raises money to support gender-based research, and shares stories and resources for patients and loved ones battling Alzheimer’s. Dr. Frank LaFerla, Dean of UCI’s School of Biological Sciences and Co-Director of UCI MIND,

to the pressures of Alzheimer’s disease. “More than 84,000 people in Orange County are living with Alzheimer’s disease, and that number is anticipated to increase 74% by the year 2030,” Dr. LaFerla explains. “The only way to avert this crisis is through research, which is precisely where the proceeds from this event will be applied.” With support from the local community, UCI MIND funds projects that allow researchers to seek out scientific advances that will help identify ways to prevent or slow the onset of neurological disorders like Alzheimer’s. “Thanks to the tremendous generosity of our attendees, last year’s gala raised over $375,000 to support innovative research on new studies and clinical trials,” says Dr. LaFerla. “This year, we’ve extended an invitation for guests to attend an exclusive pre-event cocktail reception with Maria Shriver prior to the Gala, along with various unique sponsorship opportunities that we hope will continue to support our research efforts surrounding Alzheimer’s disease.” UCI MIND is one of only 30 NIH-funded Alzheimer’s Disease Research Centers in the nation. “The research being done at UCI MIND provides hope for millions of individuals who are affected by this heartbreaking disease,” LaFerla adds. “It’s through attending events like our annual gala or participating in clinical research trials that Orange County residents can, in fact, make a difference and help researchers get closer to a cure.” For more information about the 8th annual A December to Remember Gala, or to inquire about sponsorship opportunities, please visit gala.mind. uci.edu or contact Danny Harper, Senior Director of Development at UCI MIND, at 949-824-3793.

Tips for an easier holiday season

The holiday season is filled with gatherings of friends and family. As invitations to different holiday events begin to flood your calendar, one of the biggest challenges is figuring out how to attend everything. But for some, hectic schedules and public gatherings fill the holiday season with additional stress as they are combined with low self-esteem or lack of confidence, making this time of year a nightmare. If the holiday season creates worry and stress for you, rather than joy and excitement,

Certain flavors are synonymous with fall, and pumpkin spice tops the list. Dozens of seasonal products now feature everyone’s favorite fall flavor, but if your inner chef is calling, it’s easier than ever to whip up decadent pumpkin desserts at home. Some outside-the-box ways to infuse pumpkin into your fall foods include: Pumpkin-flavored cream cheese with a warm bagel for breakfast Cider with a dash of pumpkin spice for a quick warmup Pumpkin coffee creamer to get the day started Pumpkin cookie dough to end the day on a sweet note Seasonal ingredients such as these make it simple to capture that rich pumpkin flavor in creative ways. Many of these high-quality pumpkin

consider these confidence-building tips: * Feel free to say “no.” - You don’t have to attend every party or gathering. If your stress and worries are caused by overbooking, make it a goal to only attend one event each weekend, and possibly one additional event during the week. Be sure to include any family visits or dinners in your tally. Limiting your activities will give you time to recharge and thoroughly enjoy the events you are attending.

* Boost your smile. - According to a 2013 Fixodent survey conducted by Wakefield Research, 38 percent of denture wearers admit to skipping something because they feel self-conscious about their dentures. Whether you’re indulging in tasty treats, socializing or even traveling this holiday season, Fixodent provides you with strong hold and protection, helping to seal out food particles and killing odor-causing bacteria for a clean mouth and fresh breath - so you don’t have to miss any of your holiday

activities. Visit www.facebook.com/ Fixodent for helpful tips on keeping socially active this holiday season. * Pick the perfect holiday wear. - Sometimes much of the stress caused by the holiday season is a result of the outfit chosen for the event. For women, high heels look great, but can quickly hurt the feet, making it uncomfortable to stand and socialize for long. Consider wearing beautiful flats or heels that have protective cushioning. Look for dresses that not only make you feel good about how you look, but are also comfortable to wear. For men, a tie presents a stylish look for a social gathering, but if wearing one feels constricting, try a distinguished look by hanging a scarf over a sport coat, instead. * Enjoy the food and drink. - Sometimes when we’re stressed, we tend to overeat or consume too much alcohol. Make a conscious effort to sample the foods and drinks provided at the family dinners and social gatherings you attend without overdoing it. One trick to help achieve this is to use a dessert/appetizer plate for entree items, so you’ll take less. This allows you to better mingle, socialize and enjoy the party, and when you go home, you’ll feel better - both physically and about yourself - giving you confidence to attend the next scheduled event on your holiday calendar. Put stress and worry on the back burner this holiday season and look forward to the social events you’ll attend this year with a smile on your face. -(BPT)

Mission Viejo christian School CARNIVAL FUN FOR ALL! By Cindy Williams Mission Viejo Christian School’s (MVCS) first all-school carnival was a huge success with over 500 people enjoying the family fun on Sunday, October 22, 2017. The event was held on the school’s 11-acre San Doval Lane campus from noon until 4:00 p.m. and included carnival games, giant inflatable bounce houses and slides, face painting, food trucks and food venders, a STEM booth, and a pumpkin patch. A dunk tank was also on site and proved to be a crowd favorite, with many teachers and the school’s principal, Bob Sladek, taking a refreshing dip as a result of throws by students, parents, and colleagues. The conclusion of the carnival featured a helicopter hovering above the campus before dropping 4,600 golf balls from the sky for the school’s third annual “Golf Ball Drop” fundraiser. The ball that was first in the “golf hole” belonged to MVCS fourth grade student Ethan Howey, making him the sole grand prize winner of FREE tuition for the 2017-2018 school year. Leslie Lawicki, MVCS’s

Development Director, was thrilled with the success of the carnival. She said, “School families, alumni, grandparents, and community members enjoyed a day in the sun with great food trucks and family fun! While the event also served as the school’s fall fundraiser, far more valuable was the focus on COMMUNITY and SCHOOL SPIRIT. We already can’t wait to do it again next year!” The earnings raised from this fundraiser are earmarked for The Angel Fund which provides tuition assistance to families facing a sudden financial hardship, The Staff Benevolence Fund to help with staff emergency needs, and the Arts Programs at MVCS. Mission Viejo Christian School serves 380 students in grades K-8. For more information on the school and its program, contact Kari Hollerbach, Assistant Principal/Admissions, khollerbach@mvcschool.org or visit the school website at http://www. missionviejochristian.com.

MVCS 4th grade student, Ethan Howey, was the sole winner of FREE tuition for the 2017-18 school year at MVCS.

Art Teacher Tish Witkin showed off her flowery face painting.

The carnival included fun carnival games like ring toss, and giant inflatibles bounce.

The carnival games were a huge hit!

Over 4,600 golf balls were sold in the 3rd annual Golf Ball Drop Fundraiser. The Coto de Caza News

Drapery Showcase Says Affordable Prices, Great Design Are Secrets of Success for This Popular Interior Design Business Method Has Worked for Forty Years as One of Orange County’s Top Interior Designers

Drapery Showcase, the well-known Interior Design firm in Mission Viejo is as much admired for its’ competitive pricing as its’ beautiful window and interior design accomplishments. The newspaper found this out in a recent interview with Beth Bunnell, owner of Drapery Showcase. What’s different about the Interior Design Business today? “I’ve noticed that most people today are on a budget. Sure, they want great looking rooms with terrific window treatments, but they don’t want to throw money around. At Drapery Showcase, we pay attention to the client’s needs “she said. How Many years have you been in this profession? “Design for 40 years and windows for 15 years. I’ve been doing this for a total of forty years,” says Beth. What is your specialty? Interior design, all aspects, but focusing on window treatments and soft fashions, such as bedding, upholstery and pillows, “she replied. “Window treatments do so much to enhance a home, and warm it up, offer privacy and really finish a room.” Do you have any special experience or training in this industry? “I have a degree in Interior Design and have spent many years in the home furnishings industry, “says Beth. What is the best-known quality of your business? “The main thing my customers say is that Drapery Showcase is known for a quality product and experience in handling the project from start to finish.” What are the most interesting part of your job? “Of course, meeting with clients and planning or designing to fit their needs.” What are the newest and most exciting trends for the coming year? “Without question, the motorization of window treatments

is what is on the minds of Drapery Showcase clients. There have been many new innovations in the design of these components during the past three years. Watching your draperies, blinds and other window treatments open and move electronically is so desirable and exciting to most new customers. Most of them are also surprised that motorization is now affordable as well,” says Beth. What made you choose this particular business? “I had the good fortune to be able to purchase this business from a dear friend and it has been the wisest decision I made,” she adds. “What has been the goal of your business? My goal has been the same since the inception of Drapery Showcase, to provide excellence in quality products and design and keeping the client’s budget in mind during the entire process.,” says Beth. Tell us about some of your awards for excellence in the interior design business. “Drapery Showcase has been honored to win the award for excellence in interior design; ‘Best of Houzz Award’ every year for the past three consecutive years 2015, 2016, and 2017’” she replied. What are the top three things that people might not know about your business? “I am a recognized expert in mixing fabrics, Drapery Showcase is well known for honesty and client satisfaction for the past fifteen years” say Beth. Does Drapery Showcase have a motto or slogan? “Yes, our motto is; ‘Don’t ignore the Economy of Quality. ‘When you provide excellent products, the joy of fine décor can last years longer, say Beth. Drapery Showcase is located at 23891 Via Fabricante, Suite 603 in Mission Viejo. Their telephone number is (949) 587-1002

Richard Spooner Pilots Quirado RC to the Win in the $51,800 Markel Insurance 1.40m Grand Prix Series Final

Richard Spooner and Quirado RC with (l-r) Brandon Seger, Lisa Seger, Monica Ward, Josh Mullins, Melissa Brandes and Lauren Dreyer Photos by McCool With twenty-four of the top point earners in the competitive Markel Insurance 1.40m Grand Prix Series vying to take home the lion’s share of the $51,800 in prize money, and ten riding fault-free over Oscar Soberon’s course, it was certainly exciting until

the last horse finished the jump-off. Supporting the growth of young horses and young riders, as well as new horse and rider pairs, the Markel Insurance 1.40m Grand Prix Series Final was the ideal opportunity for Richard Spooner to encourage his eight-year-old mount, Quirado RC,

Chandler Meadows and Damian Page 16

The Coto de Caza News

owned by Rancho Corazon, LLC, to be competitive. Fifth in the jump-off, Spooner executed the first and fastest double-clean ride, stopping the clock at 35.55. Soon afterward, twentyone-year-old Chandler Meadows and her own Damian slipped into the second spot, clean in a time of 38.06, relegating Jenni McAllister and Sweet Chocolate PJ’s double-clean effort to third. Meadows noted that she gained solid miles during the 2017 season. “This series has been a building block for me this year. Damian is a bit younger and I’m still a bit inexperienced. This has helped me build a solid foundation while competing through difficult tracks over fences that are not too big.” Spooner spoke highly of his mount. “Quirado is an eight-year-old, and he has only been jumping for a little over two years. I’m very excited about his future. He is very special and very careful. Standing a bit taller than eighteen hands, he has a wonderful mouth,” the veteran show jumper said. “I’ve tried to keep things simple with him in terms of my training regime. Now that I’ve gotten him to follow my hand I’ve been able to find a way around his size. I’m getting more and more confident with him. Speed was a difficulty in the beginning due to his size and youth, but over the last

few months it has come together. I had a plan to stick on the inside bend and have faith in him.” Looking into the future, Spooner wisely said, “I’m optimistic that Quirado will do the 1.50m classes next year. I have the same plan with my other horses. I’m hoping to move them up. With any new string of horses, you go through ups and downs, so I’m hoping for more ups than downs.” And he summed up his victory with a comment about the show and facility, where for many years, he has chosen to end his season. “The Las Vegas National is a great place to show, in that it’s designed with horses and horse sport in mind. For competition, it has to be the best indoor venue in the country.” ABOUT BLENHEIM EQUISPORTS Blenheim EquiSports, an equestrian event management company based in San Juan Capistrano, CA, produces events in three locations: San Juan Capistrano, Del Mar and Las Vegas, NV. The events include USEF “Premier” and “National” rated hunter-jumper shows featuring multiple grand prix events, a Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping North American League event, USHJA International Hunter Derbies, Pony Finals, Medal Finals and more.

KidWorks Foundation for Success Luncheon Raises More Than $768,000 Photos by Ann Chatillon A record of more than $768,000 was raised at the 2017 KidWorks’ Foundation for Success (FFS) Luncheon held at the Doubletree Hotel in Santa Ana – all to help fund afterschool educational and leadership development programs. This is the largest sum raised since the inception of the luncheon in 2007 and represents much of the after-school program budget funding academic enrichment, tutoring, leadership development, and college readiness programs at the expanded KidWorks Dan Donahue Center. Attendees always look forward to this event as the luncheon is emotionally charged because of the positive effects of KidWorks has on the challenged children served by the organization. The prestigious 2017 Dan Donahue Leadership Award was presented to David A. Pyle, Philanthropist, Founder/Chief Executive Officer of American Career College and Shareholder of West Coast University. “This very special award recognizes Mr. Pyle’s fervent support for KidWorks’ youth and families,” said David Benavides, KidWorks’ Executive Director. “For decades, Mr. Pyle has been a leader and innovator in the private, postsecondary education community, and he is as passionate about the community as he is about supporting health care and educational programs that aid underserved children and families.” “I have been a supporter of KidWorks because these young men and woman are being developed as our future leaders and will be making a difference in our communities,” said Pyle. “Seeing firsthand the interaction of the kids, family members, staff and volunteers as they grow is inspiring and something I am proud to be a part of.” The menu was purposefully simple; a salad with beef, rolls plus dessert and the centerpieces were Uncle Dan stuffed bears, named after Dan Donahue, the late benefactor of KidWorks and namesake on the Dan Donahue Center. The event’s keynote speaker Chad Williams, author of the bestselling book, “SEAL of God,” talked about his coming to terms with the direction of his life and his subsequent journey through the grueling Naval Ops training. He was one of only 13 to make it to graduation day and has served his country on multiple deployments to defend freedom. Also recognized at the event was Alfredo Padilla, one of KidWorks many amazing student success stories. He is a recent California State University, Northridge graduate, where he earned his degree in kinesiology. Since its inception in 2007, KidWorks’ annual Foundation for Success event has raised nearly $5.8 million to fund programs at the KidWorks Dan Donahue Center. As a 501(C)(3) nonprofit, KidWorks offers educational support, leadership and character-building programs, and health and fitness activities that begin with preschoolers and follow youth into their college years. KidWorks’ main building, the Dan Donahue Center, serves the highest number of children and offers a state-licensed preschool. In total, KidWorks operates four centers that have become safe havens in gang-heavy, highcrime and overcrowded residential areas in central Santa Ana. KidWorks serves 1,000 children, youth and parents weekly and reaches over 4,000 community members annually. For more information, please visit www. kidworksoc.org.

Celebrate 100 years of majesty with a visit to a national park Insider tips for a weekend at a national park site It has been over 100 years since an important American institution was born. On August 25, 1916, the National Park Service was signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson and was established as a new federal bureau to oversee the country’s national parks and monuments. Since then, the national park system has grown to encompass more than 400 areas covering more than 84 million acres in every state. With that act, grand sweeps of mountains, canyons, forests, islands and seashores were preserved and made accessible to people of all ages and abilities. Whether you are looking for back-country skiing down a mountain or just a scenic afternoon drive, our national park system has plenty of resources and infrastructure to make a visit enjoyable and memorable to just about anyone. It was John Muir, a naturalist and early parks advocate who said it best: “Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity; and that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life.” No matter where you live,

there’s a good chance one of these mesmerizing landscapes or historical monuments is just a quick road trip away. However, while millions will visit these majestic spots each year, few realize a major challenge faces national parks across the country waste. The National Park Service manages more than 100 million pounds of waste nationally, much of which is generated by serving more than 300 million park visitors per year - that’s enough to fill the Statue of Liberty more than 1,800 times. While waste is a major issue in the parks, visitors can make a difference. Subaru of America, experts in zero-landfill sustainability, is sharing its knowledge of these practices with the National Parks to help keep the parks beautiful for the next century. As part of that effort, the automaker, alongside National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA), has developed a set of tips that visitors can adopt to help reduce some of the biggest contributors to landfills from national parks, including paper, plastics and glass: Opt for online: While paper maps can be a park staple, there are smartphone apps that provide the same information and more. Even without cell service, some national park apps will give helpful information

about where you can spot wildlife, catch a beautiful sunset, or even find a refillable water station. Mug for the parks: Bring a reusable coffee mug from home or buy one from the souvenir shop to help reduce the 58 billion paper cups that are sent to America’s landfills every year. BYOB (Bring Your Own Bottle): Americans throw away 2.5 million plastic bottles every hour. Keep a refillable water bottle on hand or buy one at gift shop, while taking advantage of convenient refilling stations around the park. Ditch the Plastic Bag: Help reduce waste by not using a plastic bag for

your souvenirs or groceries that you bring into the parks. Instead, bring your own reusable bag or tote for your items to help eliminate plastic bag waste. Take Out What You Bring in: Think about what you bring in. Check to see if it can be recycled or composted in the park you are visiting. If it cannot, try to take it home. It is often far easier to recycle near your home than in rural park areas. If you are interested in learning more about Subaru’s efforts or what you can do to help make a positive impact for generations to come, visit subaru.com/environment. - (BPT)

Autumn edibles: Tips for fall gardening and second plantings People choose to garden for many reasons: Food is fresher and tastes better. It’s a healthy hobby that exercises the body. It saves money. Numerous reports show an increasing number of homeowners are growing their own fruits, vegetables and herbs. As summer’s ended, you may think gardening season is over. The good news is with a few strategic tips, you can keep your green thumb going and enjoy a plethora of autumn edibles for months to come. Step 1: Select second plantings Second plantings are the plants you use for the latter part of the gardening season. Late summer is typically the best time to plant these varieties. Call your local extension

offices or access information online to find regionalized planting schedules and recommended plant varieties. The length of the fall season and when the first frost will likely hit are important considerations when selecting second plantings. Keep in mind that fast-maturing vegetables are ideal for fall gardening and they should be planted early enough to reach maturity before the first frost arrives. Popular second plantings that yield a delicious late fall/early winter harvest include broccoli, lettuce, turnips, collards, carrots, peas, radish, spinach, leeks and beets. Some people even claim root vegetables and cole crops like kale and turnips taste better after the first frost. Step 2: Prepare your garden space If you plan to use your current garden space for second plantings, remove the early-season plants that are done producing. Add those plants to your current compost bin or create a new compost pile with easyto-use, stylish options from Outdoor Essentials. Wood-slate bins blend well with the outdoor aesthetic and the design allows oxygen to circulate and facilitate the composting process. Next, prepare your garden space. Elevated garden beds are growing in popularity because they look great anywhere in your yard or on

your patio, and are easy to move if necessary. Raised garden beds from Outdoor Essentials elevate the plants so gardeners don’t have to bend over and risk injury. They are ideal for fall because gardeners can regulate the temperature of raised beds with ease. On hot days, move or add a shade netting to protect plants from the heat; when frost is a threat, cover the entire bed for protection. While you’re getting your hands dirty, fall is the perfect time to plant spring flowering bulbs. A little outdoor work now and you’ll be rewarded with beautiful flowers when spring arrives next year. Step 3: Enjoy the harvest Tend your garden daily for the best results - it may just need a quick check for pests and proper

soil moisture. Typical benefits of late-season gardening include fewer bothersome bugs and the soil has better water retention. As plants grow, pick the fruits and vegetables and enjoy Mother Nature’s bounty. If your plants become crowded, pluck a few out to help remaining plants grow roots and increase the harvest yield. You may be surprised just how many cool months your plants provide you with fresh, delicious produce. Fall is a great opportunity to keep gardening momentum alive. So get started and decide what second plantings are best for your space. In as little as 30 days you could be eating the freshest, most flavorful vegetables you’ve ever had, all while under the gorgeous autumn sun.

Step It Up Put a fresh take on post-holiday sandwiches For most people, the day after a big holiday gathering means two things: a refrigerator filled with opportunity and a marked lack of energy. Fortunately, there are easy ways to make the most of the remnants of your holiday meal so you can take it easy and enjoy a day filled with good food and good rest. Sandwiches are a natural solution for post-holiday noshing, but all those exceptional entrees practically beg for one last chance to shine. Put a fresh, wholesome twist on this year’s sandwiches by ditching the traditional condiments and dressing up your bread with a new kind of spread. New hummus-based Sabra Spreads – available in Garlic Herb, Honey Mustard and Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper – have 75 percent less fat than the leading spread, mayonnaise, and pair perfectly with sandwiches and wraps of all kinds. Make an upgrade with these stepped-up takes on the traditional turkey sandwich and more, and find additional mouthwatering inspiration at Sabra.com.

While beets are roasting, use same mixing bowl to prepare spread. Stir together spread, tarragon, salt and pepper. Cover bowl and store in refrigerator until beets are ready. Remove beets from oven and allow to cool slightly before assembling sandwiches. Slice rolls in half and spread garlic tarragon spread on inside of each roll. Top bottom half of roll with beets, apple slices, micro greens and red onion, then top with remaining half of bun.

Four-step PLAN Helps Shoppers Save on Black Friday Retailers call the day after Thanksgiving “Black Friday,” because the holiday spending that happens that day generally moves their balance sheet into profitability and “the black.” Barbara Stark, director of community development and education at the national non-profit American Debt Counseling, Inc., serving clients throughout California, recommends following her simple, four-step P.L.A.N. during the holiday shopping season to keep your holiday budget in the black as well. “Retailers offer all kinds of deals to kick-start their all-important holiday sales numbers,” Stark explains. “The key is to have your own game plan for the day so that you take advantage of the opportunities to save on your holiday shopping without being tempted to spend more than you should.”

Stark recommends following her simple four-step P.L.A.N.: Prepare a strategy that puts your financial resources to their best use. Realistically outline your holiday obligations and how much you have to spend. Just like at the grocery store, you’ll spend more at the mall without a list. Next, decide what gifts on your list are “must have” and set your sights on getting them for the best price while they are still available. Layaway is a good alternative to credit cards for expensive purchases if the store or online site’s fee is less than 10 percent of the value of the items. You can reap the same bargains and enjoy the same selection as shopping on credit as well as the added bonus of knowing it is all paid for when you take it home. Layaway

is also a good way to curb impulse buying later in the holiday season by enabling you to buy the gift you really want at a good price. Each store has its own rules and it is important to read the fine print carefully to be sure you understand the fees and cancellation policies. Avoid using credit. Shoppers spend 30% more on average when shopping with credit cards rather than cash. Also think twice before opening a new line of credit for a discount on that day’s purchases since any fees associated with a new credit card can end up costing you more than the money you’re saving. Cash, checks and debit cards are the best choice,

but if you must use credit, choose the card that gives you the lowest interest rate and most benefits, such as reward points or extended warranties. Navigate the deals. In their efforts to get you into their stores and not the competitions’, retailers advertise their sales. Many post them online as well as place ads in the paper. There are also internet sites devoted to announcing Black Friday sales in advance. Some stores open early or even on Thanksgiving Day and you should begin looking for the deals at the start of Thanksgiving week to be ready to put your holiday shopping and savings PLAN into action.

5 tips to score big in your fantasy football league this season

More than 57 million people will play fantasy sports this year, according to the Fantasy Sports Trade Association (FSTA). With fantasy football season underway, you need to make sure your game face is on and your line-up is set. If you have a team this season, or this is your first year playing, here are some tips for scoring a successful season: 1. Don’t receive an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Whether you’re playing in a formalized league or one the office football aficionado threw together, it’s important to know and follow the rules of your league. Just like the real deal, fantasy football has rules and regulations. Run afoul of those rules in a formalized league and you might be invited to leave, or at the very least, not come back next year. Mess up in the office and you’ll have to hear about it until you retire. Realize people will play with

varying levels of commitment and proficiency, but everyone wants to have fun - and rules help make that possible. 2. Avoid fumbling your lineup. Once you have your lineup locked in for draft day, your player knowledge doesn’t stop there. Devote time each week to research your player’s strengths and weaknesses. You can rank players on many criteria, from last year’s performance to expert predictions of this year’s performance. Researching can help you get your best lineup each week to crush the competition. Whether you’re playing to win or just for fun, some preparation can help ensure you put together your dream team. 3. Score savings with an audible. More than a third of fantasy sports players primarily use their phones to track scores, follow teams, make lineup changes and communicate with others about their fantasy sport, according to the FTSA. That’s a lot of phone usage on-the-go that can potentially cause high overage charges. Switching to a more affordable plan can make your fantasy football season more cost efficient. Just in time for kick-off, Straight Talk Wireless is launching Straight Talk Plus(TM), giving customers even more options to save

on their wireless service. Available exclusively at Walmart, Straight Talk Plus lets you get the latest smart phones like the Samsung Galaxy S7 for just about $1 a day. Just add our unlimited service plan with 5GB of high speed data (then 2G speeds) starting at just $45 per month to make sure you’re covered for all of those game-day lineup changes. Best of all, there is no contract on your smartphone or unlimited plan - letting customers cancel anytime with no activation fees or penalties. 4. Tackle Traditions. Every fantasy football league is different. It’s much more than just strictly about winning. This is a game that brings friends, roommates and colleagues together to participate alongside their favorite players each week. With this, the collective personalities and traditions between leagues can vary. Whether you’re new to the league or the reining champ, make sure you double check the scoring system and are aware of your league’s traditions. 5. Get caught up with sideline streaming. Remember, one does not simply pick a team and then stop paying attention. In fact, keeping track of how players on your team are performing in real life is what makes fantasy football exciting. Not everyone has time to watch every

game their players are in, or even just the highlights. Consider downloading a fantasy football app for your smartphone to stream games, keep track of stats, scores, injuries and more. Straight Talk Wireless will help you have your data streaming needs covered. Now you’re well on your way to a winning team and prepared for the season ahead. For more ways to save, visit www.StraightTalk.com. This is a lease-to-own transaction - except in MN, NJ, WI, and WY where straight leases are offered. Well-qualified credit may be required to purchase. Smart Pay terms: Lease-to-own transaction for the Samsung Galaxy S7 total cost is $722.88 with 24 30-day payments plus any taxes and fees except in North Carolina where final payment may be more.

Gracious etiquette tips to survive holiday gatherings Whether you are hosting a fantastic holiday gathering or you’re the gracious guest, ask yourself this question: Are you comfortable with your knowledge of etiquette? Are you confident in your table manners or do you admit you take your cue by watching those around you? “It seems so many people only think about etiquette during the holidays and then the pressure is on to be perfect,” says etiquette coach Dubravka Vujinovic. “But proper manners should be important at every meal, whether you are sitting down to a formal gathering or casual dinner with friends.” Vujinovic is one of the etiquette experts at North Carolina-based Replacements, Ltd., the world’s largest retailer of old and new china, crystal, silver and collectibles. This time of year the company is bombarded with inquiries from those needing a crash course in

proper social graces and entertaining. Questions range from how to set the table, to the best way to serve the perfect meal. Vujinovic offers these suggestions for your next event. * Break out the buffet Buffets settings are becoming increasingly popular. In this style of setting the host places the food, dinnerware and utensils on a sideboard or table and guests serve themselves. “I love buffets, because they are so stress-free for me as a hostess,” says Vujinovic. “Since the food is already on the serving table, I don’t have to keep running back and forth to the kitchen to keep bringing out different courses or dishes; I can relax and enjoy the evening. On the other hand, as a guest, I like buffets because this setting allows me to eat the food I want; I don’t feel obligated to have to sample everything that is being passed around the table.” If you’re hosting a seated buffet, water glasses should be filled and on the table before your guests sit down to their meal. Guests should be guided to pick up their dinnerware and place it at their individual setting. * Set the perfect table

If you opt to set your table in advance or if you’re a buffet guest setting your own place setting, remember, forks go to the left, knives then spoons to the right. The sharp side of the knife blade should be turned toward the dinner plate. And remember, only include utensils in your place setting that will be used for the courses you are serving; extra pieces may confuse your guests. The bread plate goes on the left of the dinner plate, glasses on the right. Don’t panic if you aren’t sure about the proper place setting for each meal. Vujinovic says you can find “cheat sheets” or place setting guides for various meals on the company’s website, replacements.com, under the site’s “neat things” tab. * Tips for hosts and guests Remember, the host/hostess always sits last. That person will let you know when it’s OK to begin eating. They may offer a blessing or statement or perhaps start by passing a dish. Always pass food around the table counter clockwise to your right and refrain from serving yourself first. Pass the salt and pepper as a set, even if you’re only asked for one. If you’re not sure which utensil

to use with each course, start on the outside and work in toward the dinner plate. Don’t cut more than one or two bites of food at a time, and never butter an entire roll or piece of bread. Instead, pinch off pieces small enough for one or two bites and butter those first. If you need to excuse yourself temporarily, place your napkin on your chair to indicate you will be coming back. Signify you’re finished with the meal by placing your napkin to the left of the dinner plate, and your fork and knife side by side diagonally across your plate with the sharp side of the knife blade facing inward and the fork tines up. Turn your cellphone on vibrate or don’t even bring it to the table. Enjoy the company of those around you. And what if you commit a major holiday fumble by accidently breaking a piece of the host’s dinnerware? “You should certainly offer to replace the broken piece, especially if it has sentimental value for the host or hostess. If you don’t know the name of the pattern or the manufacturer, Replacements offers a free pattern identification service that is a valuable resource,” says Vujinovic. -BPT

Five fun and affordable fall activities your family will love Crisp air, changing leaves and cozy knit sweaters signify the return of autumn. Fall can be a busy time for most families, juggling back-to-school routines, carpools, homework, after school events and sports practice. Now is a great time to slow down, bring the whole family together and enjoy all of the exciting activities fall has to offer.Here are a few fun ways to spend quality time with your family and relish in fall to the fullest: 1. Visit an apple orchard. This is a great way to make the most of the beautiful fall weather and do something active with the family. Use apples to make apple sauce, a tasty tart or just slice them up for a great on-the-go snack. Try unique apple varieties you’ve never tried they all taste a bit different! Pack a picnic for the orchard and include Marzetti Caramel Dip Snack Packs to dip the apples you pick. The dips are an easy and fun way to treat your family to the flavors of fall. And with varieties like Old Fashioned and Fat Free, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. 2. Go for a nature walk. With the vibrant, colorful leaves and the cool, crisp air, autumn is a great time to get your family outdoors and learn more about nature in a local Page 28

nature preserve or state park. Pick up a few fall mementos along the way to integrate into crafts. For example, bring home some colorful leaves and decoupage them onto the outside of a mason jar to create a seasonal fall candle holder, or create a lively fallinspired canvas incorporating several different leaf shapes and colors. 3. Gear up for Holidays Host a Fall themed get-together by incorporating fun foods the kids can help prepare and will love to eat! Use a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter to create cut-out cookies and involve the kids in decorating - with everything from sprinkles to frosting. Or, for a quick and easy themed treat, try making marshmallow lollipops drizzled with chocolate or caramel dip, then use chopped nuts or candy bits to make ghoulish faces.4. Visit a local farmers market. Fall offers a whole new repertoire of amazing fresh fruits and vegetables. Encourage your kids to try new items like figs, acorn squash or cauliflower. If they find samples that they enjoy, purchase a few and find a way to incorporate them into your next meal. You can also buy items such as tomatoes and pickle peppers in bulk, and then can at the end of season to store for the long winter ahead. 5. Have a bonfire.

Quality Starts on the Farm

Darrell Glaser, a sixth-generation farmer from Texas, along with his mother, Jeannette, and wife, Shannon, started raising turkeys more than 20 years ago. Today, his four sons also help on the family’s farm. “We do everything we can to produce a quality product that other families would be comfortable eating during the holidays,” Glaser said. Glaser, who has raised nearly 14 million turkeys, says this starts with keeping the birds healthy and comfortable. “We take really good care to ensure the environment is just right for our turkeys. This includes keeping the floors of our barns dry and making sure the birds have plenty of fresh air and good quality water and feed,” Glaser said. Glaser says if turkeys are happy and comfortable, they are generally healthy, which reduces the need to prescribe medicine, like antibiotics. Glaser and his family are one of more than 700 independent farm families who are raising turkeys for Honeysuckle White without using growth-promoting antibiotics. “We feed America and want to provide a quality food source for our customers,” Glaser said. “With consumers more concerned about their food, if we can produce wholesome turkey without growth-promoting antibiotics, then we should.”
