Texans have for centuries claimed fame as the originators of chili con carne. Others argue that chili originated in Mexico, but Charles Ramsdell, a writer from San Antonio, Texas, wrote the following in his article, San Antonio: A Historical and Pictorial Guide. “Chili, as we know it in the U.S. cannot be found in Mexico today, except in a few spots which cater to tourists. If chili had come from Mexico, it would still be there. For Mexicans … do not change their culinary customs from one generation, or even from one century, to another.” In 1926, another writer from San Antonio, J.C. Clopper, wrote that Mexicans defined chili in the Diccionario de Mejicanismos, published in 1959, as “detestable food passing itself off as Mexican, sold in the U.S. from Texas to New York.” No matter, most agree that San Antonio, Texas, is responsible for spreading Texas-style chili throughout the South and West and then some. In 1893, the San Antonio Chili Stand at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago introduced people worldwide to chili con carne. If there is still doubt about Texans and chili, here’s National Chili Month... Continued on Page 2

what some famous and infamous chili lovers said about the lone state in relation to chili. • “Chili concocted outside of Texas is usually a weak, apologetic imitation of the real thing. One of the first things I do when I get home to Texas is to have a bowl of red. There is simply nothing better.” - Lyndon B. Johnson, 36th president of the United States • Will Rogers (1879-1935), cattleman, banker and journalist, called chili a” bowl of blessedness.” It is said that Will Rogers judged a town by the quality of its chili and sampled it in hundreds of towns. He concluded that the best chili was from a small cafe in Coleman, Texas. • Jesse James (1847-1882), outlaw of the old American West, refused to rob a bank in McKinney, Texas, because it was home to his favorite chili parlor.
THE EARLY RECIPE Chili con carne (Spanish for meat) is all about meat – and – leave out the beans please. Beef or venison and chili peppers were the main ingredients in original Texas-style chili. Suet (beef fat) was used to add flavor, and the type of peppers (from the mild bell to the hot habanera) used depended on the desired degree of spice and “heat.” Besides beans, Texas chili did not include vegetables of any kind or tomatoes. Chili powder, a blend of ground peppers and spices, was often used in place of the chili peppers. When chili gained popularity in the eastern parts of the U.S., beans were added as filler because meat was more expensive and not quite as plentiful in those areas. Many chili purists still insist on banning the beans and tomatoes at various chili cook-offs around the country.

Others banish the meat. Vegetarian or not, many health-conscious chili fans are now opting for the beans-only version. Chili contests often include vegetarian chili as a category.

feel-like-cooking crowd. Some say that canned chili was first produced in 1908 by Willie Gebhardt of San Antonio. However, William Gerald Tobin, a Texas Ranger and hotel owner, first coined the idea of canned chili in 1881. Tobin contracted with the federal government and sold canned chili con carne to the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy. The carne that Tobin used in his recipes was goat. Eventually, he opened a chili con carne processing plant and canning operation. He died before his venture took off.
RED OR GREEN? While Texas boasts the original chili recipes, New Mexico is the capital of chili growing. The largest agricultural crop in New Mexico is the chili, and the state grows more chili peppers than any other in the U.S. Chili is a New Mexico household staple. It is often said that the mantra of the people of New Mexico is “red or green?” In 1888, Fabian Garcia worked as a horticulturist at the New Mexico College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. He experimented with developing varieties of the chili. In the early 1900s, he released the “New Mexico 9” – nine different pod sizes and heat levels. Today, New Mexico State’s College of Agriculture and Home Economics helps New Mexico’s farmers develop new and improved varieties of the chili. New Mexico State University also is the headquarters of the Chili Pepper Institute. And every year, more than 300 chili growers from all over the U.S. attend the New Mexico Chile Conference in Las Cruces. The chili cash crop is worth about $60 million at harvest to New Mexico; after it’s processed, the value increases to more than $240 million. About 95 percent of the crop is harvested from seven southern and eastern New Mexico counties.
CHILI FACTS Contrary to popular belief, the Spanish did not introduce the chili pepper to the U.S. The Inca, Maya and Aztec Indians used chili peppers to spice up their dishes, temper their medical ailments, trade goods and bring them closer to the gods.

THE PLACE TO FIND LOCAL BUSINESSES ON THE GO!
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I read an article by a local writer about a dog show that was held here recently. The writer seemed uncertain of the rules for this type of event and left some information out. I thought that you might like to get this information on dog shows out to all of your readers as well. All dog shows are managed by a show superintendent, who is present for the duration of the show and will answer any question regarding the appropriate rules and regulations. Further, all American Kennel Club-sponsored shows (conformation and obedience) will have free copies of the booklet Dog Show Rules at the superintendent’s desk within the show location. A copy of

the same can be ordered from the American Kennel Club’s Web site (www.akc.org). I’m not an AKC employee, but I’ve been showing dogs for quite some time and, as such, questions have arisen that needed answering then and there ... hence I learned of the availability of this booklet. Rules change from time to time, so the booklet can be a handy item to have on hand. -- Jacki S., Grosse Pointe Shores, Mich. DEAR JACKI: Many thanks, and I’m sure my readers will benefit from your information. The American Kennel Club is an important source of information about dog selection and care, show rules, breeding and many other topics. I strongly encourage dog owners -- whether they are interested in participating in dog shows or just improving their knowledge of care and training -- to visit the Web site above. Send your tips, questions and comments to Paw’s Corner, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475, or e-mail them to pawscorner@hotmail.com.

SENIOR NEWS LINE by Matilda Charles
TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT ADULT-ED CLASSES
T
he local adult-education department’s course offerings for the winter quarter arrived in the mail last week, and for once I took a look at it. I was surprised at the variety of classes: quilting for beginners, starting a craft business, hunting safety, computers for seniors, art of the Middle Ages, school bus driver training, conversational Italian, overview of the world’s religions, first aid and CPR, and dozens more. Included on the list was a beginning piano course. Which made me think: Do I qualify as a beginner? I took piano lessons for one year a very long time ago. Have the years erased everything (which admittedly wasn’t much) that I ever learned? If I sign up, would I hold the class back if I couldn’t keep up? Which begs the even bigger question: Can we seniors learn new skills at this stage in our lives? If so, what do we need to make sure it can happen?
®
THE LOCAL SCOOP
Part of the answer lies in how well we apply ourselves to keeping our brains and our bodies active on a daily basis. If we’re constantly on the lookout for new mental challenges, we’re more equipped to continue learning new skills. Having something new and exciting to do sparks brain cells, too. If we’ve settled into a routine of watching a lot of television and going out to the same restaurant once a week (and ordering the same thing each time), our brains might not be as capable (at least initially) of learning something new. Diet has to play a part in our ability to learn new things, I’m sure. The brain needs proper fuel to be able to remember, reason, focus and come to conclusions. If you’re ready for a mental challenge, it could be as close as your local adult education department. Matilda Charles regrets that she cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into her column whenever possible. Write to her in care of King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475, or send e-mail to columnreply@gmail. com. (c) 2009 King Features Synd., Inc.

Thanksgiving Day in Canada also is linked to the tradition of harvest festivals that date back to early native peoples, as well as some European traditions. The Canadian Thanksgiving holiday is a three-day celebration starting on the weekend and ending on Monday. It’s a time when families gather together at church and at home to give thanks to God for their blessings. The harvest festival cornucopia, or horn of plenty, overflowing with a bounty of seasonal fruits and vegetables including corn and pumpkins also is a traditional symbol in Canada. The Canadian Football League games are a highlight of the holiday. It’s also a time for a big family dinner featuring a turkey and an abundance of side dishes, and of course, desserts. This pumpkin pie recipe is an adaptation of a popular Canadian version of the traditional holiday dessert.
After the pumpkin has cooled, cut it open and scrape out the seeds and the cooked pulp. You can save the seeds
SERVING Breakfast • Lunch • Dinner
1 prepared (9-inch) single crust pastry 1/4 cup apricot or orange preserves 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 1/2 cups pumpkin puree 5 eggs, at room temperature 1 1/4 cups whole milk 1/2 cup whipping cream 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
PRIME RIB ON FRIDAY NIGHTS
1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Place the pastry into a 9-inch pie pan and press it down along the bottom and all sides of the pan. Crimp the edges of the pie crust together. Put the pie crust back into the freezer for 1 hour to firm up.
5PM - 9PM
2. Place a piece of aluminum foil inside the pie shell, pressing down on the foil and covering the shell completely. Fill the shell up to the edges with pie weights or dried beans (about 2 pounds) and place it in the oven. Bake for 10 minutes, remove the foil and pie weights, and bake until the crust is pale brown, about 10 minutes more. Remove crust from oven and cool. Spread the preserves over the pie crust. 3. Reduce oven temperature to 325 F and prepare pie filling. Using a large bowl, combine the brown and white sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt, and mix them together thoroughly. Mix in the pumpkin puree until ingredients are well-combined. Add the eggs, whisking the mixture together lightly. Add in the milk, whipping cream and vanilla, mixing until well-blended. 4. Pour the filling into the prepared crust. Bake until the filling puffs at the edges and the center is almost set and no longer liquid except for a quartersize place in the center, about 55 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool and set on a rack. Cover and store pie in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Makes one 9-inch pie (8 to 10 servings). *** Angela Shelf Medearis is known as The Kitchen Diva and is the executive producer and host of “The Kitchen Diva!” television cooking show.

CANADIAN PUMPKIN PIE For the best pumpkin pies, don’t use the field or “Jack-o’-lantern” pumpkins, because the flesh makes a stringy pie filling. The smaller varieties known as sugar pumpkins with the dark-orange flesh are the best choice for baked goods. You can place the sugar pumpkin on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake it whole at 375 F until the flesh is soft, about an hour.

hen I was a little girl, my family lived in Canada for several years. Canada is a bit of a melting pot, and some customs have been adopted from other countries. Thanksgiving Day has been celebrated as a holiday in Canada on the second Monday of October since 1957. It’s similar to the American holiday in many ways -- a celebration of faith, family, food and football.
and use them in other recipes. Mash up the pulp to use in baked goods. A threeto four -pound pumpkin should yield about 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 cups of pumpkin puree. You can use the homemade pumpkin puree immediately or place it in an airtight container and freeze it for up to six months. When buying commercially processed pumpkin, use frozen or canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin-pie filling, for the best results.

BAYOU BARBQ
NOBLE NEBBIOLO
T
he Nebbiolo [NEH-bee-oh-low] grape, from Italy’s Piedmont region (Barolo), is high in both tannin and acid, which can make a wine tough. Fortunately, it also gives enough alcohol to soften the package. Its color can be deep when the wine is young, but can develop orangey tinges within a few years. Its aroma is fruity (strawberry and jam), earthy and woodsy (tar, truffles), and herbal (mint, eucalyptus). Perfect with roasted meats and mushroom risotto.

Helpful answers to your fitness and wellness questions By Dane Matthew Question: I keep hearing great things about these antioxidant super fruit juices, and I even have a few friends that decided to become distributors. Am I missing out on something? Should I be adding these juices to my daily regimen?
break up your cardio and lifting sessions, so you feel energized during each and every workout. I’ve said it many times before, the most effective way to get a workout that meets your individual goals is to enlist the aid of a Certified Personal Trainer.
Answer: These products are definitely popular these days, but here’s the scoop. Most of these products are exotic fruit juices marketed as super antioxidants, which supposedly have beneficial effects on the body. Unfortunately, many of these claims come from distributors or the elaborate marketing materials developed by the companies themselves. Research is often touted, too, but most of the studies that are referenced have been done on a specific fruit or an extract of that fruit, not the actual juice being sold to you. Plus, many of the manufacturers add other juice concentrates as well, so you have no idea how much of the supposed active ingredients are actually in the final product. This is pretty standard, though there may be a few exceptions. The other issue with these juices is the cost. Many of them sell for $20-$35 per bottle, with a typical serving being only a few ounces per day. The high cost is usually attributed to highly paid consultants and the distribution network itself, since everyone involved gets a piece of the monetary pie. The bottom line is these juices don’t appear to be harmful, but are they actually making you any healthier? That question is hard to answer. Before making a purchase, it would be wise to gather all the facts you can and ask a registered dietitian if you have any questions about a specific product.
Question: I’m having a hard time with nighttime eating. Any tips, hints, or other advice to help me curb this seemingly routine habit?

Answer: The fact of the matter is different people do different things. Some might say that you should do cardio first because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice way to warm up your muscles before a weight training session. Others would argue that doing this will cause too much fatigue, which might lower your workout intensity and make lifting with proper form more difficult. There really isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a right or wrong answer. The best advice is to pay attention to your goals. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re focused a bit more on the endurance side of the equation, try to do your cardio first, when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have the most energy. If your goal is to pack on some muscle mass, hit the weights first, before getting some hearthealthy cardio into your workout. And if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really looking to push yourself in a particular area of fitness, make sure to

Answer: The first thing you need to do is determine whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re actually hungry or not. Appetite and hunger are very different concepts, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to differentiate between the two. Appetite is the psychological need for food, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s influenced by your senses, your emotions, and your environment. Hunger is the physiological need for food, meaning your body desires food to function normally. To simplify things even further, appetite deals with the sight or smell of food and your desire for it. Hunger deals with those pangs and growls you get in your stomach when you actually need food. Generally speaking, you should try to eat when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hungry. Take this exampleâ&#x20AC;Śafter having a big meal for dinner, you might want some dessert, but are you actually hungry for it? You may just want it because it looks good or smells good, or because eating dessert is what you typically do after dinner. Essentially, your eyes are playing tricks on you. If you think you might be hungry in the evening, try drinking a glass of water and then waiting ten to fifteen minutes. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still hungry at that point, try to figure out why. Did you have a big lunch and a small dinner, and now hunger is catching up with you? Or did you skip dinner altogether? Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll often find a logical reason for being hungry, and if this is the case, be sure to remedy that situation the next time around. In the meantime, find something light to snack on in the evening. Some popcorn, a piece of fruit, yogurt, or even some string cheese would work just fine.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) That once seemingly rock-solid proposition you favored might be hiding some serious flaws. Take time to check it more carefully and question anything that seems out of kilter. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Finish up those lingering tasks so that you can then arrange to spend some time in quiet reflection. This will go a long way in restoring both your physical and spiritual energies. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A family situation could heat up and boil over unless you deal with it as soon as possible. Try to persuade other family members to work with you to help cool things down. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Cheer up, Kitty Cat! That low feeling will begin to ebb by midweek, and you should be back in the social swirl in time for the weekend. A long-postponed deal could be starting up again. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Going too fast and too far on too little knowledge could be risky. Best to slow down and check for any gaps in your information. It’s what you don’t know that could hurt you.
19
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Trying to make peace among quarreling family members, friends or colleagues can be tough. Expect some resistance, maybe even some expressions of resentment. But stay with it. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Changing your mind doesn’t have to be a problem once you realize that you might have good and sufficient cause to do so. Make your explanations clear and complete. Good luck. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) An unkept promise can be irksome and easily raise the Archer’s ire. But instead of getting into a confrontation, take time to check why someone you relied on came up short. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A new workplace distraction creates an unnecessary delay. The sooner you deal with it, the better for all concerned. A personal matter also should be attended to as soon as possible. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Once again, the Aquarian’s gift for applying both practical and creative methods to resolve a situation makes all the difference. Personal relationships thrive during the weekend. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A relationship appears to be losing its oncestrong appeal for reasons that might be different from what you think. An open and honest talk could lead to some surprising revelations. BORN THIS WEEK: Your life is bound by your belief that character counts more than anything else. (c) 2009 King Features Synd., Inc.

A
s an investor, you’re always aware of the potential effects of market volatility on your portfolio. But you also need to pay attention to another factor that could impact your investments’ return — inflation.
Join us for a free seminar on How to Raise a Money-Smart Child
If you look back over the last few decades, you might not think inflation is much of a threat. Since the double-digit rates of the early 1980s, inflation has fallen significantly and, for the most part, has stayed low. Still, over time even a mild annual inflation rate can eventually erode your purchasing power.

management skills can have a positive effect their entire lives.
Obviously, if you’re a retiree, or close to retiring, you need to plan for the impact of inflation on your income stream, which may, to a large degree, depend on the types of investments you own. But even if you’re at an earlier stage in life, you need to think about inflation because it can reduce the “real” rate of return you receive on your investments.
Invest your time today to benefit your family’s future. During our How to Raise a Money-Smart Child seminar, you’ll learn how to start teaching your child or grandchild about financial goal-setting, self-discipline and the basics of making wise money choices.

In any case, you can find investments that may be able to help you cope with inflation. When you own stocks, for example, you’ve got an ownership stake in companies that have the ability to raise prices — which make them effective inflation-fighting investments. Keep in mind an investment in stocks fluctuates and you can lose your money. But one of the biggest inflation-fighting benefits of stocks is the dividends that they may pay. Well-run companies may reward investors by paying them back

A BETTER PLACE
with dividends — and some companies have increased their dividends annually for decades. A word of caution, though: Companies can reduce or eliminate them at any time, without notice. In fact, during the long market slump we experienced, some companies did cut back on their dividend payments. Not all stocks pay dividends, of course. In any case, if you’re going to maintain a balanced portfolio, you’ll also want to own other types of investments, such as bonds. But many bonds — along with other fixed-income vehicles, such as Certificates of Deposit — are not good “inflation fighters” because the fixed rate of return they offer simply may not keep up with inflation. However, if you built a “bond ladder” — that is, a group of bonds with varying maturities — you’d have more flexibility in combating inflation, because your longer-term bonds typically offer higher interest rates. What about the so-called “inflation hedges,” such as commodities and real estate? Actually, these “hedges” are extremely volatile and should be approached with great caution. You need look no further back than the bursting of the housing “bubble” to see that real estate, for instance, can go down just as fast as it goes up — and once down, it can take years to recover. In your efforts to invest wisely for the future, inflation is only one of the variables you need to consider. But it can be an important one — so make sure you choose the investments that both address inflation and can help you make progress toward all your financial goals.

THE LAW ACCORDING TO STEVENS by Lisa Welch Stevens, Attorney at Law P.C.
WHAT’S IN A NAME: PERHAPS NOT AS MUCH AS YOU THINK © February, 2005, Lisa Welch Stevens, Esq.
P
reviously I discussed the value of a business’ intangible assets. One such asset can be the business’ name. But such value and the protection afforded it under state law can vary widely, depending upon the business’ legal form and how and where the name is registered or recorded. Colorado does not have a uniform system for the filing and recording of business names. If a business is owned through any of the limited liability entities (corporations, LLCs, etc.), its entity name (and its “trade name”, if any) is recorded with the Secretary of State. If a business is a sole proprietorship or general partnership, and it operates under a name other than the owner(s) personal name(s), that trade name is registered with the Department of Revenue.
names, as recorded with the Secretary of State, are accorded some exclusivity: they must be distinguishable on the record from those of other limited liability entities. Sole proprietorships’ and general partnerships’ Registrations of Trade Name with the Department of Revenue are accorded no exclusivity at all: anyone can file to use the same trade name as another. Because the databases of the Secretary of State and the Department of Revenue are separate, an entity filing a Statement of Trade Name with the Secretary of State is not put on notice of similar or identical Registrations of Trade Name with the Department of Revenue, and vice-versa. After May 30, 2006, the Department of Revenue no longer registered trade names; all such registrations shall be with the Secretary of State. Businesses will know if others are using the same name as they. However the Secretary of State’s office will no longer require that trade names be distinguishable on the record from other trade names and entity names; forming your business under a particular entity name, or registering a particular trade name, will result in no exclusive rights to that name at all. A business can seek to protect its good name from usurpation by competitors, and to increase its value as an intangible asset, by turning to trademark law. However, for this to be effective action must be taken before another has the opportunity to start using the name. Consult your legal advisor regarding the specifics of your situation.

If you have a septic tank, measure the sludge and scum to determine if the tank needs to be emptied before the spring. Tanks should be pumped out at least once every three years.

Preparing for the Fall Season, Part 4 Exterior Home Maintenance Checklist
Before the weather grows colder it's important to prepare for the winter months to prevent costly damage. Exterior Home Maintenance Â? Look for cracks and holes in house siding or paint. Replace caulk if necessary. A carpet knife can work well for cutting away old caulking from house siding. Slice down alongside it from both directions with the hook-like blade, then use the knife to lift out the old caulk bead intact.
Â? Check doors and windows for air leakage. Caulk windows as needed. Replace door weather stripping as needed. Â? Tile and painted wood or concrete stairs can be slippery when wet or when a person's shoes are wet. Resurface the treads with slip-resistant strips. All stairs of at least three risers should have a handrail.
23
Â? If you have a wood-burning fireplace, make sure you have enough split firewood to get you through the winter. Place your woodpile close to your home so it's easy to access in the winter, but not against the house! A lean-to or tarp will protect your wood from getting wet from snow or rain. Â? Replace bulbs in outdoor lighting. It'll be much easier now than dreading through the snow to do it. Also be sure wiring from any yard lighting is secured under dirt or rocks so it won't get caught up in the snow blower. Â? Ensure that the ground around your home slopes
away from the foundation wall, so that water does not drain into your basement. Â? Remove bird nests from chimney flues and outdoor electrical fixtures. Â? Store outdoor furniture, hammocks, and any yard dĂŠcor that is not winter proofed. Â? Bring in patio table umbrellas and cover large patio pieces with furniture covers that fit properly and tie at the base. Â? Cover your outdoor BBQ so it's protected from the snow and more easily usable for winter-time BBQing!
