Relay Race...

T

here are a lot of awesome over Alaska, Canada, and I’m events happening the sure the US. The race starts on month of October. There are a Friday evening in Skagway, two events in particular that Alaska and goes across the White Southeast Living Magazine Pass, through British Columbia is participating in that we and finishing on Saturday in are pumped about. The first Whitehorse along the banks of is Capital City Rotaract’s the Yukon River. There were 7 5th Annual October Fest for official categories for this year’s Breasts happening on October By Anna Hoke relay. The relay is broken into 10 5. This year’s event will have a legs varying in distance from 5.7 super hero theme and all proceeds will go to 16.1 miles. I had the opportunity to run to Cancer Connection. The second event leg 1 and drive a support vehicle for the is the No Umbrella’s Fashion Show put on Alaskan Brewing Company’s team; Blood, by the Alaskan Brewing Company which Sweat, and Beers. I had an absolutely raises money for a different local charity fantastic time, the team itself was awesome, each year. Southeast Living Magazine will I cannot speak highly enough of everyone! be doing photography at both events. As for experiences, the support vehicle I Speaking of community events, I wanted was driving got a great view, or rather got to reflect on the very fun and widely temporarily stuck behind a mobile hot participated in Klondike Road Relay Race. tub complete with hot water and people The 110 mile race brings teams from all relaxing in it, hitched to an RV headed

away from Skagway towards Whitehorse, no doubt supporting their team and/or rewarding runners that had finished. I have to say after running my leg, I was a little jealous that I didn’t have a hot tub strapped to the back of my car. I enjoyed the creativity of various team names and race décor both visible on runners and their vehicles. This event would not be possible without community(s) involvement and support, and the hundreds of volunteers who worked before, during, and after the event to facilitate, record data, and cheer all the runners on. I know I say it time and

again, but thank you Juneau, Southeast Alaska, and Whitehorse for supporting each other, working together, and having a blast doing it! I love the place we live because of that.

Stay dry and warm Southeast, it’s time to carve pumpkins, drink a hot beverage and cheers to the awesome summer we had and the exciting winter ahead of us!

When One Door Opens…

L

ast month I touched on exterior doors, their types, their qualities, and what to look for when buying an exterior entry door. Hopefully, with the weather changing all exterior doors are sealed tight, well insulated, and ready to take on Old Man Winter.

This month, now that we are tucked comfortably into our warm homes, I would like to touch briefly on garage doors and then take a look to our homes interior and discuss interior doors including the types of doors available as well as sound transmittance through these doors.

Garage Doors Garage doors make up a large portion of what someone sees when looking at the front of a home with an attached garage, so why not make it attractive and functional? Garage doors come in

a wide variety of materials and each material has its advantages.

Steel garage doors are the most common and offer the widest variety of styles and price ranges. Steel doors can range in price from the hundreds to thousands of dollars. The panels can come in designs and glass styles to fit the architectural style of any home.

Steel garage doors can be ordered in a variety of colors or can be painted to match the color scheme of a home.

They can be hollow core or foam core with high insulation values that can be equal to the R-Value of a typical wall in a home. A higher insulated garage door would mean the garage would stay more comfortable in the winter months as long as there is a heat source in the garage. Without a heat source, it can be as cold inside

the garage as outside and hold the cold in for longer.

Steel garage doors are very durable although they can be dented. Also, damaged areas can be susceptible to rust.

Fiberglass garage doors are another option. Fiberglass doors sometimes have a lower R-value because of the way they are manufactured. Colors are limited, but fiberglass can be painted to match existing doors and even stained to match a Vinyl garage doors are another popular option. By Greg Stopher wood grain. Fiberglass garage Vinyl doors have most of Stopher Construction doors are very durable and are on the higher price end for the same qualities as steel garage doors and are available in a wide doors and the price is usually on the variety of styles. lower end of the scale but they are not as easy to find. Vinyl doors have good sound absorption and can help quiet a busy street. They also come in a variety of color options although they cannot be painted. A benefit of vinyl is that the color is through the door so scratches and dents will not show as easily.

Wood garage doors have the highest degree of craftsmanship and quality which usually results in a premium cost. The styles are limitless and can be painted or stained to any color. Wood doors are very durable and with the new finishes and new ways exterior wood doors are manufactured, they

can hold up to the weather as well as any exterior door.

the door that you can actually see the hinges. When on the outside or non hinge side of the door a right hand door will open away from you on the left. Yeah, I always get confused myself so I always draw a picture. Note that a pre-hung door will come on a jamb that is 4-9/16 thick or 6-9/16 depending on the wall the door is going in 2 x 4 walls or 2 x 6 walls.

Lastly and probably the most expensive garage doors are aluminum. Aluminum garage doors are more for the modern house. While other garage doors have an option for glass in the top panel, aluminum doors can have glass from bottom to top, in every panel. They come in a clear anodized finish, bronze anodized finish, or powder coating of any color option resulting in a finish that is very durable.

I am seeing a lot more pocket doors being installed these days. Pocket doors are doors mounted on hardware slide into a pocket in the wall, hence pocket doors. One advantage of pocket doors is they can save a tremendous amount of space usually taken up by the door swing. It is important to plan pocket doors out so that no wiring or plumbing is in that portion of the wall.

A variation of the pocket door that I am seeing more of is the sliding barn door. The sliding door uses a mounting hardware on one side of a doorway and functions similar to a pocket door, however barn doors take up wall space.

Interior Doors Taking a full swing to the interior of the home, interior residential doors can come in an even wider variety. So many varieties, in fact, the options are endless. I won’t focus on the styles; I have endless catalogs for that, so I’ll touch on some types, materials, and what sound ratings mean.

Swing doors are your most common door found in a home. The most confusing thing about swing doors is purchasing a door with the correct hand swing. From the inside or the hinge side of a door, a right hand door will open on the right side toward you. Hinge side would be the side of

PREPARE FOR FALL F

all is one of my favorite times of year to re-evaluate home and health – because as the weather cools, rain and snow fall increase and the days get shorter we start spending more time actually in our homes. This is a great time to finish removing all those items you meant to get rid of in spring, de-clutter, clean and start new habits that will carry you through the holiday season with less stress and more vitality. At the end of the article I’ll give a quick checklist for winter home safety preparations, but first, let’s talk about what you’re going to eat! This season has feasts in every month – so prepare now to choose foods and plan meals that will truly nourish your bodies. Root vegetables are plentiful through fall and winter. They add color and variety to your meals, but most important is how they can positively impact your health. Made up of complex carbohydrates and fiber, most root vegetables digest slowly, helping you maintain better blood

sugar balance. In addition, they also are rich in vitamins and minerals, and if you are usi n g the

cine” approach, you’ll find that each root vegetable has its own unique chemical makeup to benefit the body. Many can be eaten both raw and cooked. Here are a few of my favorites to include in your winter meals: • Beets: the chemical compound that makes up the pig-

contain high amounts of Vit. K, but other phytonutrient structures that benefit vision as well.

• Onions: members of the genus, Allium, they are perhaps most famous for their sulfide compounds which may help reduce blood pressure and tumor growth. In addition they contain saponins, which help reduce cholesterol and quercitin, which is highly antiinflammatory.

• Carrots: rich in beta-carotene which is then converted to Vitamin A, this root may help with vision and bone health but is great as an immune system support food.

“food as medi-

ment in beets (betalains) is known to be anti-inflammatory, high in anti-oxidant activity and detoxifying. Beet greens not only

• Garlic: used as a powerful natural remedy for thousands of years, this plant has been the subject of a significant amount of modern medical research. It has been found to show cardio-protective benefits, anti-cancer action, and boost your immune system – warding of cold and flu.

Garlic also has anti-fungal and ant-bacterial properties.

There are many more incredible root vegeta-

bles to explore this season. I encourage you to try something new, research some recipes on-line or from a whole food cookbook and lay a foundation of healthier eating by adding roots to your diet. I only recommend organic, as root vegetables are more likely to carry pesticide residue and to have absorbed unhealthy compounds found in non-organic soil.

So lastly, here is the brief checklist I promised.

• Is your home safe or are there any repairs that need to be done now in order to make it so?

cation to last several days, extra blankets and winter clothing, and a list of people who will check in and help out if necessary?

Do you have a neighbor who may need your commitment to assistance through the winter?

Think of ways you, your church or other social groups you belong to can reach out to make winter easier for someone near you. This is also a great opportunity to share your new found culinary love of root vegetables in a hearty stew!

Reaching out is good for your health and theirs!

Directions:

Batter •1-3/4 Cups Organic Whole Wheat Pastry Flour •1/4 Cup Flax Meal • 1-1/2 tsp Baking Powder • 1/4 tsp Salt • 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter, softened • 4oz Cream Cheese, softened • 4oz Tofu, Silken Organic • 1 Cup Organic Granulated Sugar • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract • 2 Eggs

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 12 Jumbo muffin cups with paper or foil liners.

Fall Apple Harvest Thought to have originated in Central Asia (roughly Kazakstan) the apples have a long and beloved history. A symContributed bol of desire and love

by Amber King sacred to Aphrodite and were highly regarded as a symbol of civilization and health. Making their way to the Americas in the early 1600s they have been a symbol of America as well, from Johnny Appleseed, William Tell and Ancient stories and legends from Scandinavia to Asia. I have been loving the resurgence of heirloom varieties and happy to have moved to such amazing varieties from days of my youth in Southeast where apples came in four colors, green, red, yellow and often brown. I love

the butter, cream cheese, tofu, sugar, salt and vanilla until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes, add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. On medium low speed, add the dry ingredients slowly and beat until smooth.

By hand, gently fold in the apple mixture just a few turns until just combined. Do not over mix.

Crumb Topping: In a medium bowl combine all the topping ingredients with your fingers form-

Macintosh’s and Sunrise, Honey Crips, Fuji’s and love mixing fresh eating and storing apples together in recipes to enhance flavor, textures, sweet and acidities in dishes.

I’ve always loved apples, a wonderful fall excitement, while Southeast Alaskan’s don’t have the bounty on sweet homegrown apples, we do have some amazing tart varieties, and with this summer’s weather some of you out there might have a nice little crop.

Check out Sitka’s Health Summit project harvest: http://sitkalocalfoodsnetwork.org/ If you can’t find a splendid use for them try a little home fermentation project like the one below, or the good old fashioned kind with a gallon of honey and some champagne yeast.

Apple Shrubs are all the rage, from cocktail mixers to morning health tonics, if you have not caught the shrub bandwagon here

ing large crumbs. Add more flour if too moist.

Assemble, Add the batter to the top of each muffin cup. Sprinkle on the crumb topping and gently push into the batter. Push any loose crumbs back onto the muffin. Bake for 25-35 (25) minutes or until a tester comes out clean and the crumbs are golden brown. Cool 15 minutes in the pan and then remove to a tray to cool to room temperature.

you go. Shrub comes from the Arabic word meaning syrup, and sharbat, a Hindi word for an aromatic syrup made from fruit, or herb and flower extracts, that is stirred into water and served over ice. Today it’s typically a fruity, vinegary acidulated beverage made from fruit juice, sugar and a few choice ingredients. These “syrups” were wonderful for drinking, and kept well without modern day refrigeration. It was a great way to preserve berries and stone fruits throughout the year and is also high in vitamin b and beneficial bacteria and yeast (probiotics) all of which aid in digestion and detoxify the body. There are tons of resources and additional recipes online for a variety of shrubs, I only do cold processed fermented shrubs as I find them more my style, but choose your own and try one alone, as a cocktail addition or in a salad dressing.

CELEBRATE AS A SUPERHERO!

There will be snacks, a costume contest, pinatas, a silent auction, DJ and more!

ALL PROCEEDS GO TO CANCER CONNECTION

Recipe

Crumb Topping • 1/4 Cup Unsalted Butter, 1/2 stick, melted • 1/4 Cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour • 1/4 Cup Oats, Whole Rolled • 1/4 Cup Light Brown Sugar, packed • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon, ground • 1/8 tsp Allspice, ground • Pinch Nutmeg

Glaze • 1 Cup Confectioner’s Sugar (fresh ground in the blender if you can) • 1 Tbsp Milk • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract

10. Make the Glaze: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together all the glaze ingredients until smooth and pourable. If too thick add more milk. Drizzle on the cooled muffins in a back and forth motion. Let the glaze harden before serving.

Notes: This recipe will also make 16 regular size muffins. Bake time will decrease accordingly.

From my table to yours, enjoy!

So experiment away with whatever your yard may harvest. Strawberry Balsamic Shrub (with a touch of black pepper) is awesome with smoky scotch and brandied cherries… Berries, Champagne Vinegar and herbs (thyme, lemon balm, or bay leaf) lovely alone or with a little of your favorite Alaskan Vodka. Watermelon and mint with rice wine vinegar shrub, an awesome addition to a watermelon, feta, mint and orzo salad. Gingerbread Shrub (molasses, ginger and spices) think of that in a wintery hot toddy with a few cranberries.

But for our weekend enjoyment in the fall sunshine and as leftovers to take to work and after school snacks I love apple muffins (a little healthier than pies and cakes!!)

The businesses and organizations that use public broadcasting are leaders in their field and more of them are realizing the value of using public broadcasting.

Public radio in Southeast Alaska covers the larger communities, to remote villages, to the fishing grounds. “Listeners” tune in everyday to hear breaking news, stories about the people who live here, all kinds of music and the funniest game shows, the most creative shows and talk shows so compelling you may sit in your car long after you’ve arrived home.
