Finish the basement. Most homes have unfinished basements which are often used for laundry and a place to collect stuff that doesn’t belong anywhere else in the house. Really, the basement is a blank slate in most homes. You could create a game room with a pool table, a music room to bring your band together or a playroom to send the kids to when it gets cold and wet outside. One benefit to refinishing a basement is that you can do a lot of the work yourself if you have the tools and the technical know-how. Refinishing a basement adds value and can help update an older home, giving it a modern feel. In older homes, the kitchen was often overlooked and treated as a purely functional space. In modern American homes, however, the kitchen is often the centerpiece of the home, and remodeling your old, stodgy kitchen into a warm, welcoming space can provide you with loads of benefits. People spend more time in their kitchens in the cold winter months, and a remodel can make it a place you want to be. Winter is the perfect time for a remodel if you have kids because they will be back in school and not underfoot. Additions can be expensive and keeping the budget in mind is essential as you prepare. If you are planning on staying in the home for a while, you can think of these as investments in your quality of life. If you are planning on selling your home soon, you can think of these as ways to make your home stand out from the crowd. While it may be too late this year to get on a contractor’s schedule, it’s never too late to start putting your planning into high gear.

IS PRINT DEAD? Community Paper

herbon’s

With all the old and new ways to market, Free Papers are on the rise as Print Publications still rank number 1 with the ability to capture people’s attention. While Radio can give listeners great messages, TV commercials offer great ways to promote video of your business, but what’s the chance someone will remember or have time to take down your contact information after it aired? Internet is still the wild west of marketing as many people will see your ad but few will click on it. With Print as always, readers can view the ad as long as they want, they can save it and even share it with others. As they say never put your eggs in one basket. A diverse marketing plan is a shrewd marketing plan. Make Tidbits a part of it.

Installing skylights is a great addition for the winter. They bring in natural light, reducing the need for electricity. They also bring in heat, reducing heating costs. More light can also make a house appear larger, giving a facelift to your existing home at minimal cost. If you are having major roof repairs done or a whole new roof installed, this is the perfect time to install those skylights. Because they are already there, many roofing companies will cut their installation price in half to install skylights.

Here are some ideas.

Royal Ruby Glass Q: I have four saucers, four teacups and a sugar and creamer in Royal Ruby glass. It has such a beautiful color, I am curious about how it was made. -- Raynette, Springdale, Ark. A: Although the ancient Egyptians were known to make red glass, most of the pieces seen in American shops and antiques malls are of fairly recent vintage. The 1920s and ‘30s saw pieces being manufactured, and after a lull, production picked up again during the 1940s when Anchor Hocking introduced its pattern of Royal Ruby. The company used copper to achieve its rich color. Some of this type of glass used gold, but its use was, of course, much more expensive to produce. This glass was made in a variety of hues, from the deep-red colors of ruby to the lighter shades of cranberry. The Royal Ruby glass produced by Anchor Hocking is plentiful and fairly inexpensive. Most collectors are especially interested in the pre-World War II pieces. Prices vary, but I would think your teacups and saucers are worth about $35 for the set, the sugar and creamer about half that amount. *** Q: My daughter’s husband came from a family that included early tobacco plantation owners in the Carolinas. As a result, he inherited a beautiful bedspread made from the fibers of the tobacco plant. Would you have any idea of its value? -- Donald, Sun City West, Ariz. A: The short answer is no. This is a unique item, and if you truly want to determine its value, it is necessary to hire the services of a professional appraiser. Since you live near Phoenix, you also might contact The Phoenix Art Museum, which has an outstanding textile collection, and one of its experts. *** Q: I have a John Deere toy tractor. It is the Overtime model, 1:16 scale and green in

The Center Point Public Library To give you an idea about the size of the Center Point Public Library addition, the existing building is featured in yellow. The new 7400 sq. ft. addition will be built on the lot behind the library tripling the space for material, seating, staff, programming and study. The size was recommended by a library specialist to sustain service through the next 25 to 30 years. Patrons with disabilities will enter a building designed to meet ADA standards. Children will have an area easily observed for parents and staff. Seating all around the library will create conversation areas for homework groups, friends and book clubs. Quiet study areas for individuals or groups and business will have computers to aid in learning and presentation. There is so much more planned for your library. Stop in and see for yourself. 720 Main Street, Center Point.

1. Which artist released “Town Without Pity”? 2. Name the group that had a hit with “Too Busy Thinking About My Baby.” 3. Who released “Heart of Gold” in 1972? 4. What group topped the charts in the U.S. and U.K. with “If You Leave Me Now” in 1976? 5. Name the song that contains this lyric: “Boys will be boys, Better let them have their toys, Girls will be girls, Cute pony tails and curls, Must put an end to this stress and strife, I think I want to live the sporting life.” Answers 1. Gene Pitney, in 1961. The song was released for the film of the same name and received a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture Song. Numerous others have recorded the song over the years, including The Stray Cats and Mandy Barnett. 2. The Temptations, in 1966, on their “Gettin’ Ready” Album. Marvin Gaye came out with his own version three years later. 3. Neil Young, on his “Harvest” album, with Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor doing backups. 4. Chicago. 5. “Good Times” by Chic (1979). Co-writer Nile Rodgers said using the vintage Al Jolson-style lyrics from “About a Quarter to Nine” (1947) was a comment on the current economic depression in the U.S. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

color. I think I got it for a birthday present in about 1995. Any value? -- Ken, Madison, Wisc. A: I found your tractor referenced in “The Standard Catalogue of Farm Toys: Identification and Price Guide,” edited by Karen O’Brien and published by Krause Books. According to O’Brien, your toy was manufactured in 1994 and is valued in the $13 to $27 range, depending on its condition. Write to Larry Cox in care of KFWS, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475, or send e-mail to questionsforcox@ aol.com. Due to the large volume of mail he receives, Mr. Cox cannot personally answer all reader questions, nor do appraisals.

Stone Fruit Feast

When it comes to food and cooking, a good rule of thumb is to mix it up a bit. When cooking seasonally, it’s best to try new foods when they show up at the farmers market or grocery. There’s so much fresh summer produce to choose from -from the popular picks like corn and watermelon, to the lesser known, not so sought after group like mulberries and crenshaw squash. Now is the time to take advantage of this overflowing in-the-raw produce buffet. Try something new and 408 Rowley St. experience the nuances of different flavors in your meals! Walker, IA 52352 In a world longing for peaches, 319-448-4359 nectarines somehow take a back seat. Http://cityofwalkeria.org Nectarines and peaches are both members of the stone-fruit family, which includes plums and apricots. Council Meetings are held the 2nd and 4th Monday of every month at the But in this family, the peach and Community Room at 210 Park St. nectarine are so close, there is only one gene responsible for their difference. This unique gene makes the peach fuzzy and the nectarine smooth. If you take a blind taste test, I think you’ll agree that the nectarine has its own distinct attraction. It’s usually sweeter and juicier than most peaches -- in essence, more nectar! Nectarines, like peaches, originated in China over 2,000 years ago and spread September 4, 2014 across the continents until they landed in America. They grow best in warmer 4:30-6:30 PM August 28, 20144:30-6:30 4:30-6:30 PM September 4, 2014 climates, like California, where almost all the nectarines we find in the AtAt Sherbon’s PMFlower Sherbon’s FlowerMarket Market market are grown. Nectarines are an excellent source of vitamin C and are low in calories. At Sherbon’s Flower Market While a delicious sweet nectarine is relatively high in sugar, its fiber content helps the body slow the breakdown of its sugar in your digestive track, therefore making them a good choice for satisfying your sweet tooth. Recently, studies have even suggested that nectarines, as well as other stone fruits, have a bioactive compound that could prove effective in preventing obesity. Nectarines, like other stone fruits, are ripe when they give just slightly to the touch. You also should be able to smell the sweetness of a nectarine. They can sit out until fully ripe, then they should be eaten or refrigerated quickly. The ultimate is to buy ripe nectarines and enjoy them right away. Former White House chef Bill Yosse has created the perfect recipe to showcase the unique flavors of nectarines. His Flaky Nectarine Pie is an addictive dessert featuring summer stone fruit encased in a delicate crust.

FARMER’S FARMER’S FARMER’S MARKET MARKET MARKET

FLAKY NECTARINE PIE 2 packages pre-made pie dough (for 2 pie crusts) or homemade pie dough for 2 pie crusts Filling 8 cups (about 7) ripe nectarines, unpeeled, pitted and cut into 1-inch chunks 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar 1/8 teaspoon salt 4 tablespoon cornstarch 1 tablespoon brandy 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 egg white, beaten, at room temperature 1 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar For the Filling 1. In a large bowl, toss together the nectarines and lemon juice. Add sugars and the salt; gently mix to combine without mashing the nectarine chunks. Set aside to macerate for about 30 minutes. 2. Return nectarines to the bowl and add cornstarch, mixing until it has completely dissolved. Stir in the brandy and vanilla. Reserve. To Assemble and Bake 1. Transfer one round of the pie crust dough to a black steel or Pyrex 9-inch pie pan, and trim the edges so they are even with the rim. Place the second round on a flat baking sheet and place in freezer. This will become the top of the pie. 2. Freeze dough in pie pan for 1 hour. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 425 F. Remove pie pan from freezer and line the dough with aluminum foil. Fill with baking beads, dried beans or uncooked rice. Bake for 30 minutes; allow to cool. When cool, preheat oven again to 350 F. 3. Pour nectarine filling into the pre-baked pie shell. Use a pastry brush to moisten the edges of the bottom pie crust with some of the egg white. Remove the top dough from freezer and place over the fruit. Press down around edges with fingers to seal, and tuck any excess dough under the edges. With paring knife, cut 12 slits in the center of raw dough, barely piercing it, to create air vents. Then, brush top dough with remaining egg white and sprinkle with Demerara or granulated sugar. 4. Bake on an aluminum foil-covered rimmed 11-by-17-inch baking sheet on the center rack for 1 hour until pie is deeply golden, and you can see the thick juices bubbling through the vents. Let cool before serving. Makes one 9-inch pie to serve 8. *** Angela Shelf Medearis is an award-winning children’s author, culinary historian and author of seven cookbooks.

BOOKS Recommended Reading “Overwhelmed: Work, Love, and Play When No One Has the Time” by Brigid Schulte (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, $26) Reviewed by Molly Ford Are you on a treadmill of “todo’s” that never come off your list? So is everyone else, and Brigid Schulte wants to figure out why. Her new book, “Overwhelmed: Work, Love, and Play When No One Has the Time,” is a must-read for those of us who struggle with managing our own time, yet cannot pinpoint how to begin to correct the problem, or how our time struggle even began in the first place. The book examines, in-depth, why so many of us are having trouble with managing time -- including what societal factors or personal habits are limiting our success. Weaving a story of feeling overwhelmed across different facets of modern day life -work, love and play -- Schulte focuses on the ideas of “time confetti” and “time serenity” as a way to explain the problem of feeling like there are never enough hours in the day to get things done. The book is a mix of research notes, studies, public politics/ political motives, interviews, anecdotes and the author’s own first-person account of how this country has become overwhelmed. The book points out traps that we all fall into and provides some real-life examples of how to cope with or avoid the traps. A favorite section of the book is the appendix, which lists dozens of tips and key points explored in the book, perfect for easy reference or a refresher on Schulte’s work after reading. (Favorite tip: “Chunk your time ... Work in concentrated blocks with regular breaks, and fit in the 5 percent stuff-of-life ... after you’ve made time for what’s important.”) If you want to figure out why you are feeling so overwhelmed in your daily life, and how to fix it, this is your read.

HOLLYWOOD By Tony Rizzo PHOTO: Robin Williams HOLLYWOOD -- Everyone keeps talking about the sudden passing of Robin Williams at the age of 63. In 1977, I saw a young Robin Williams guesting in a taping of “The Richard Pryor Show.” Everyone there knew this funny guy was going places. He showed up next as a regular on the revival of “Laugh-In,” the top-rated variety show of the 1960s. “LaughIn” gave us Lily Tomlin and Goldie Hawn, who later won an Oscar for “There’s a Girl in My Soup” with Peter Sellers. Even President Richard Nixon wanted to be on the show. Robin also guested on the sitcom “Eight is Enough,” and then the spin-off pilot of “Mork and Mindy.” That aired as a “Happy Days” segment before it became a regular series that ran from 1978-1982. Robin was a comic genius who gave too much of himself away. Last year he appeared on the Emmy Awards to deliver a tribute about his idol, Jonathan Winters, who played his son on “Mork and Mindy.” This year the Emmy Awards are planning a tribute to him. *** Calling Dr. Kildare! Richard Chamberlain, absent from Broadway since 1999 when he played Baron Von Trapp in “The Sound of Music,” will star with Holly Hunter and Bill Pullman in the New Group’s production of “Sticks and Stones” later this year. It’s a Vietnam-era story in which he plays a priest. The last time he played a priest was opposite Barbara Stanwyck in 1983’s “The Thorn Birds.” His first Broadway attempt was in the 1966 musical version of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” The book was written by Edward Albee from a Truman Capote novella, and was the basis of the famous Audrey Hepburn film made in 1961. The cast boasted Chamberlain, Mary Tyler Moore, Sally Kellerman and Larry Kert, the original Tony in Broadway’s “West Side Story.” Guess the public didn’t want to see anyone but Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly. *** Channing Tatum currently is co-writing the sequel to “Magic Mike,” titled “Magic Mike XXL,” with his partner Reid Carolin. He promises, “It’ll be crazier than the first one.” Steven Soderbergh, who directed the original, will participate if needed, as his assistant Gregory Jacobs directs this one. Matt Bomer and Joe Manganiello more than likely will return, while Matthew McConaughey and Alex Pettyfer will not. It will be out in July 2015. Channing still has the $175 million epic space-opera “Jupiter Ascending” due out Feb. 6. He also has signed on for “X-Men: Apocalypse,” out May 2016, as well as “The Wolverine” sequel due March 2017. Now you know which slots to fill out in your Tatum-datum book! (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Make Kale Chips With Kids

ANSWERS

Hail to kale! I’m not sure what brought the green, leafy, goodfor-you veggie into such renown, but try to open a foodie magazine or blog without some recipe bowing to its virtues. I’ve been following the trend and now dutifully toss it into stir fries and salads, and even let it stand alone all spiced up in our family’s most recent obsession -- kale chips. While kale chip recipes abound, I found the best, foolproof technique from Tricia Cornell, mom of two, freelance writer and author of the book “Eat More Vegetables: Making the Most of Your Seasonal Produce” (Minnesota Historical Society Press). The cookbook is chock full of easy-to-follow “family friendly, get kids involved” veggie recipes such as her tasty take on “Squash Chili” and “Soupe au Pistou.” True to form, she has the kale-chip-making technique down to a science. “When my kids clamor for kale chips, who am I to refuse?” she said as her 7-year-old old son Arlo chopped up the kale, and 9-year-old Nora grated Parmesan for the chips that would accompany their hamburger sliders supper. “I want the chips to be tasty and crispy every time we make them,” she said. Pick up a bunch at your local market and

enjoy making and tasting these light, crunchy treats with your kids. CHEESY KALE CHIPS Makes 4 cups 1 large bunch kale (12 ounces) both Lacinato and curly kale work well. 1 tablespoon olive or canola oil 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or 1/2 teaspoon pepper flakes Here’s the fun: 1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F. 2. Trim off the long, tough center stems from kale and discard. Slice leaves into 1to 2-inch pieces and place in a large bowl. Pour oil, cheese, salt and pepper over kale, and massage kale well with your hands, making sure every piece is covered, but not dripping with oil. 3. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and spread kale in a single layer. Place in oven and immediately reduce heat to 250 F. 4. Bake about 20 minutes, until crisp, stirring kale and turning pans halfway through. It’s important to keep an eagle eye toward the end; you want crisp, not brown. 5. When completely cool, serve. If there are any leftovers, store in airtight container up to three days. Variation: Barbecue Kale Chips

Omit Parmesan and pepper. Stir 1 teaspoon pimenton de la vera (smoked Spanish paprika) and 1/2 teaspoon sugar into the salt before adding. For more information on Tricia’s book: www.mhspress.org ***
