GOBLINS AND GHOSTS AND WITCHES…OH MY!
by Deborah Stumpf
SNIPPETZ GETS SPOOKED OVER HALLOWEEN TRADITIONS
When witches go riding,and black cats are seen,
the moon laughs and whispers,‘tis near Halloween.
~Author Unknown
When we think of celebrating Halloween, what comes to mind are parties, cos-tumes, candy and trick-or-treating. For
the kids, what could be more fun than donning a costume, becoming your favorite character and scooting around the neighborhood as fast as you can knocking on doors and demanding can-dy? For adults, same costuming situation, but instead heading out to a party (or several) and pretending to be someone else for one night. Now, that’s fun. Too bad we can only legitimately do this one night each year!
THANKS TO THE IRISHIt was the Irish who brought Halloween to North America in the 19th century. However, it originated during the festival of Samhain, the Celtic New Year when the Celts celebrated the end of the harvest sea-son in October. The Celts believed that the spirits of the dead would return on the eve of Samhain in order to inhabit live bodies. Since this was rather undesir-able, the Celts would dress in ghoulish costumes so as to scare off the spirits. They would parade around noisily in the streets, enjoying food and drink. Leg-end has it that at such times human and animal sac-rifi ces were offered up to the spirits. It was believed by some that the Irish townsfolk would visit their neighbors and ask for food for the town feast, thus beginning the tradition of trick-or-treat.
SYMBOLIC JACK The pumpkin carved with a scary or funny face with a candle inside is commonly called the jack-o-lan-tern. The name can be traced back to the legend of a farmer named Jack who was known for his trickery, greediness and gambling, not to mention he rather enjoyed excessive tipping of the bottle. The tale has it that one night Jack tricked the devil into climb-ing up a tree after which Jack carved the symbol of a cross into the tree trunk in order to keep the devil from coming down from the tree. The devil being the devil, of course, placed a curse on Jack so that he could not go to either heaven or hell upon his death. Jack’s spirit was forced to roam the countryside hold-ing a hallowed out turnip with a lit candle inside to light the way. Once Halloween traditions came to America, the turnip was replaced by the pumpkin, a larger and easier to carve ‘lantern.’

Halloween is the second biggest spending holiday next to Christmas.
• About $1.5 billion is spent on Halloween costumes, • $2.5 billion on Halloween decorations, • $2 billion is spent on candy, and • $50 million is spent on greeting cards.
SCARY MOVIES, ANYONE?What would Halloween be without a few scary mov-ies? Grab some popcorn and a body guard and rent one of these: “Arachnophobia” (1990), “The Blob” (1988), “Rosemary’s Baby” (1968), “Nightmare on Elm Street” (1984), “War of the Worlds” (1953), “The Silence of the Lambs” (1991), “Jaws” (1975), “The Exorcist” (1973), “The Shining” (1980), “Hal-loween” (1978), and “Invasion of the Body Snatch-ers” (1978). Aahhh, they just don’t make ‘em like they used to.
FOR THOSE WHOREALLY LOVE HALLOWEEN
Haunted houses, hayrides and corn mazes are popular in many neighborhoods around the country, but some serious enthusiasts plan vacations around All Hallows’ Eve. Try one of these:
• New York City is the host of the largest Halloween party that includes the Village Parade and attracts over two million people as either participants or spectators and boasts a television audience of over four million.
• Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in Florida holds “Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party” with a pa-rade and show that features Disney’s favorite villains with a Halloween-themed fi reworks show.
• Disneyland’s California Adventure Park holds “Mick-ey’s Trick-or-Treat Party.”
• Universal Studios in Hollywood and Orlando hold “Halloween Horror Nights.”
• Six Flags Amusement Parks hold “Fright Fest” that includes rides, costumes and shows.
• Busch Gardens in Tampa Bay and Williamsburg also host “Howl-O-Scream.”

ror on Halloween night the face of her future husband would appear in the mirror. If a skull appeared, then death was imminent before the marriage could take place.• About 50 percent of adults sport costumes for Hal-loween and 56 percent participate by having or attend-ing parties and/or decorating for the holiday. • The candy apple was a common Halloween treat giv-en to children who came door to door for many decades because Halloween fell during the annual apple harvest. However, because of some rare incidents of children re-ceiving apples tainted with razor blades, pins and other objects, this practice soon waned and was replaced by wrapped candy. During this time, some hospitals offered to x-ray children’s goodie bags to ensure their safety. • One-fourth of the candy sold during the year is pur-chased for Halloween.• Harry Houdini, the famous magician, died on Hal-loween in 1926.• About 10 percent of pets are dressed in costumes for Halloween. • About 99 percent of pumpkins sold in the U.S. are used for Halloween as jack-o-lanterns.• Although Halloween is often associated with a full moon, in the 20th century there have only been full moons on Halloween night in 1925, 1944, 1955 and 1974. We’ll have to wait until 2020 for the next full moon to light the way for trick-or-treaters.• It should be no surprise that 90 percent of parents ad-mit to sneaking candy from their kids’ treat bags. • About nine billion pieces or 35 million pounds of candy corn are produced each year.
IT WOULDN’T BE HALLOWEEN WITHOUT A GHOST OR TWO
• According to a Gallup poll, 11 percent of Americans believe in ghosts and the supernatural.• The ghosts in the Pac Man video game are named Blinky, Clyde, Inky and Pinky. • The Windsor Castle in Britain is said to have some royal ghosts including Queen Elizabeth I, King Henry VIII, King Charles I and King George III.
A COLORADO HALLOWEENColoradoans who say that that it snows on Halloween every year may be partially correct in their observa-tions. Records for Halloween snow activity have only been kept since 1954. In looking at just Halloween day, snow has fallen only 10 times in the past 53 years and only eight of those times have been measurable. How-ever, snow has been on the ground for Halloween 11 times during those years. Taken together, that equates to snow being on the ground about 42 percent of the time. Factoring in the 20 times it has snowed on Nov. 1 that would equate to having snow events around Halloween about 79 percent of the time. No wonder we think that it always snows on Halloween!
The worst of those snow events? Well, that was on Oc-tober 31, 1972 when Denver saw eight inches of snow with an additional six inches the next day.
The warmest Halloween was in 1990 when the average temperature during the prime trick-or-treat hours of 5 to 8 PM was 63 degrees.

LAST WEEK CORRECTIONLast week we mistakenly referred to Harry Truman as the president who gave us the interstate highway sys-tem, when in fact it was President Eisenhower who was known as the father of America’s Interstate Highway System. In 1956, he signed the Highway Act, which was the largest public works project during peacetime. The bill appropriated $25 billion over a 12-year period and built 41,000 miles of freeways.

STRANGEBUTTRUEBy Samantha Weaver
• It was French existential philoso-pher and author Jean-Paul Sartre who made the following observa-tion: “To believe is to know you believe, and to know you believe is not to believe.”
• The opossum is the only marsu-pial that is native to the continent of North America.
• Jack Welch was the chairman and CEO of General Electric for 20 years beginning in 1981. When he retired, in 2001, his retirement package (better known these days as a “golden parachute”) included such lifetime perks as three coun-try club memberships; a box at the Metropolitan Opera; seats at Wim-bledon, the French Open and the U.S. Open; tickets to the Red Sox, the Yankees and the Knicks; free dry-cleaning service; food, wine, fl owers and waitstaff whenever he’s in New York City; and free telephone and computer service at all fi ve of his homes. Nice deal if you can get it.
• If you’re like the average Amer-ican, you’ll eat about 35,000 cookies in your lifetime.
• Ever wonder why blue jeans are blue? When they were fi rst designed, by Levi Strauss, the people most likely to wear them were those who did a great deal of manual labor. Strauss rightly assumed the work was likely to be dirty, so he dyed his new trou-sers indigo to help hide stains.
• Regular airmail service by the U.S. Post Offi ce began way back in 1918. The fi rst route was be-tween Washington, D.C., and New York City, with a stop along the way in Philadelphia.
• The name of the North Ameri-can reindeer known as “caribou” comes from the Native Ameri-can language Micmac. The word translates roughly as “snow shov-eler.”

ONLINELEARNING
A whole world of knowledge has opened up to me since I discovered online learn-
ing. We have a wealth of classes available to us right on the Internet, ranging from informal to the univer-sity level, self-tutorials to instructor-presented, free to little cost.
At Lifetime to Learn [www.lifetime-tolearn.com] you’ll fi nd Photoshop Introduction, Microsoft Outlook: Taming Your Inbox, and more.
At Computer School for Seniors [www.cs4seniors.com] learn to re-store old photographs and take great digital photos and much more.
Ed2Go [www.ed2go.com] has an online instructor for every class, not just a tutorial you do yourself. Each class runs for six weeks and costs $99. Recent additions are Start Your Own Arts and Crafts Business and Business Law for the Small Busi-ness Owner.
At the university level, imagine tak-ing a course on Yeats from MIT, or a beginning French language class
from Carnegie Mellon.
While you won’t actually get cred-it for it (since you’re not paying for the class), and you won’t have hands-on instructor presence, just think of the possibilities. MIT’s of-ferings are especially rich and com-prehensive. I found a MIT class on America during the Depression, and it included hundreds of photos of the era, along with the class notes, a study materials list and links to re-lated resources.
To learn more about Open Course-Ware, go to http://ocwfi nder.com. Free and low-cost classes are all over the Internet. You only have to look for them.
If you’re new to computers and un-sure of your way around, maybe your fi rst stop (with a computer-savvy grandchild at your elbow) could be one of the “how to surf the Web” classes. Once you learn the basics of getting around on the In-ternet, you’ll be off and running.
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.

Demand for electricity in America is growing. It is estimated we will need 30% more electricity by 2030.
The challenge before Congress: Balancing electricity needs and environmental goals.
We need to ask our legislators: How much is all this going to increase my electric bill and what will you do to make it affordable.
Start a conversation with your Representatives by going to MVEA’s web site at www.mvea.coop and clicking on the “Our Energy. Our Future” link.
Americans deserve to know the im-pact any legislation will have on their family budget. By workingtogether we can nd the right solutions, the right balance.

HOW TOWIGGLEOUT OF THE MUD
By Dr. Ron Ross
PREPARE FORTHE BOOM
When times are tough it’s easy to think only of survival. However, tough times can be
a wonderful occasion for personal re-fl ection and life re-direction. Did you get fi red? Did your business go broke? Do things look re-ally bleak? Consider this: It might be the best thing that has ever happened to you. Perhaps you are being called away from the clatter and chatter of those who think they know what’s best for you and instead you are being drawn to the yearnings of your own heart. What is your heart saying to you? To hear and heed your heart three things must happen: First, you must have a heart. If all you’ve worked for so far in your life is the accumulation of stuff or the collection of trophies, then you may be empty on the inside. So the task before you is to fi nd a cause greater than your-self or discover a challenge that calls forth the best within you. Seize the op-portunity to do something signifi cant, not just for profi t (though there is noth-ing wrong with that), but something that blesses someone else. As the songwriter declared, “First you got to have heart!” Second, you must hear your heart. Shakespeare said, “Go to your bosom, knock there, and ask your heart
what it doth know.” Your heart sees and hears things your eyes and ears cannot. But watch and listen carefully, as the heart speaks mostly in gentle whispers. Your grandest thoughts, your greatest ideas, and your most profound passions will be apprehended from the whispers of your heart. Third, you must heed your heart. The advice to heed your heart may at fi rst seem to be reckless, and I suppose in some instances it could be. However, to heed your heart is not about living within your comfort zone or be-ing overly concerned about what other people think. It’s about becoming fully you; it’s about fi nding and living out your personal passions. To heed your heart is to live courageously and thus, be fully alive. Pay attention to what your heart says, and act on it. Someone once said, “The heart is wiser than the intellect.” Still, you may not know what is in your heart; you may not sense a call-ing within. Do not despair; keep listen-ing and keep inquiring of your heart. I believe that already planted deep within your heart are seeds of greatness, seeds of the person you aspire to become. Right now is a good time to water those seeds with goodness and joy, fertilize them with grace and hope, nurture them with meekness and kindness, and one day your hearts desire will be realized. These tough times may be just what you need to help you meet head-on the truth that you are not defi ned by the job you do, the amount of money you make, where you live, what you wear, or the trophies that hang on your wall. You are defi ned by what is in your heart. Hear and heed your heart and you’ll be ready for the boom!
“Prepare for the Boom” is a series of columns that will appear over the next six months. A compilation of the series will be made available toward the end of the series. To join Dr. Ross’s e-mailing list please go to www.MileHighMotiva-tor.com and sign up. There is no charge. For feedback email: Dr.Ross@comcast.net.

THEHEALTHY
HOME
Do you suffer from allergies or asthma? Do you have frequent unexplained head aces? Do you
have skin rashes that just won’t go away? You may be suffering from an ‘unhealthy’ home.
If you suffer from allergies or asthma, you want to make your home as free of dust and allergens as possible. Generally, the bedroom is where we spend most of our time and that’s why for those with indoor allergies, it is important to minimize the levels of, if not totally eliminate, offend-ing allergens in our home, particularly in the bedroom. Here are some solutions to creating a healthier home:
HYPOALLERGENICFLOORING
Ceramic tile is one of the most hypoaller-genic of all fl ooring possibilities. Richard Carson, Owner of Nationwide Floor & Window Coverings says that “ceramic tile is one of the top choices for those who suf-fer from allergies. The hard, slick surface provided by ceramic tile reduces its abil-ity to collect dust, mold, or other allergens. A potential drawback is that it can be cold and uncomfortable against bare feet; how-ever, with the new after-market heat mats, it now can actually help heat your home in the colder months.”
Cork is another environmentally friendly source of fl ooring for allergy sufferers. Cork’s surface characteristics prevent dust absorption which can precipitate allergy symptoms. In addition, it doesn’t contain toxic substances found in some fl ooring and carpeting, making it an ideal choice for allergy sufferers who are health and en-vironmentally conscious.
Linoleum provides another smooth surface which doesn’t promote accumulation of dust or allergens. If you suffer from aller-gies and plan to install linoleum fl ooring, use a low-VOC glue to attach the fl ooring. Otherwise, you could suffer from an aller-gic reaction to the adhesive.
Wood provides a smooth surface that doesn’t harbor dust or other allergens. “Plus if it is reclaimed or from a renewable resource it is not only a healthy choice, but an environmentally friendly choice as well” says Nationwide Floor & Window Coverings hardwood specialist, Barry Richardson.
ALLERGEN FREE BLINDS
Don’t forget the blinds and curtains in your home and bedroom, as they can harbor dust as well. There are blinds that can actu-ally prevent dust build-up. Vertical blinds,
roller shades or cellular shades are the most easy-to-clean blinds. With traditional horizon-tal blinds, dust can settle on each slat... agitating pesky al-lergies, or forcing you to clean your blinds often. But
vertical blinds and roller shades don’t have a surface to catch dust, making them aller-gen-free blinds.
“Most cellular shades, like the Hunter Douglas Applause shade, are anti-static, and they require very little cleaning” ex-plains Kim Carson, Managing Partner of Design Works Gallery. “A light sweep with your vacuum cleaner brush attach-ment is all that is needed to keep them dust free making them very low-maintenance shades. “
‘GREEN’ PAINT
In the past, the more it smelled like paint the better. Today, you don’t have to sac-rifi ce quality for safe, low-odor, mildew resistant paint products that wipe clean with mild soap and water rather than harsh cleaning chemicals. In addition, these new products have a durable formula that re-duces the need for frequent repaints.
“Some of the environmentally friendly products that can be used for interior paint are Sherwin Williams Harmony and Pro-Green 200 paints”, explains Ron Heard, owner of Certapro Painters. “These prod-ucts are low-odor allowing you to immedi-ately move into your newly painted spaces with the guarantee of less solvents and zero-VOC’s (volatile organic compounds) so what is emitted into the air is more envi-ronmentally friendly.”
CABINETS
Kitchen and closet cabinets are one of the largest sources of formaldehyde emissions in today’s homes. Standard cabinets are made of particleboard, which can offgas signifi cant amounts of formaldehyde if urea-formaldehyde is used as a binder.
“Cabinets made from a non-formaldehyde-based binder such as polyurethane improve indoor air quality and are widely avail-able” advises Paul Schmallen of Schmallen Home Organization and Window Cover-ings. “Before purchasing any new cabinets check with the manufacturer to ensure a non-formaldehyde-based binder was used in their construction.”
The Design Works Gallery and its partners are sensitive to those customers with aller-gy or health related issues. They know that every customer is special and each home-owner’s requirements are unique. “In order to ensure we meet those needs, we actually sit down and LISTEN to our clients needs” explains Richard Carson, Owner of Na-tionwide Floor & Window Coverings. “so that we can gain an understanding of what is important to them and their families. Only after sitting down and understanding our client’s needs do we move onto product selection.”

FROM START TO FITNESS
By Andrea Renee Wyatt, M.S.S., C.S.C.S.
COLD WEATHER FITNESS
The late fall and winter months can make it diffi cult to continue a fi tness routine
that consists of outdoor activities. Colder temperatures and less sun-light require a realistic and diverse plan to keep you moving toward your fi tness goals.
These tips can keep you fi t on the inside when it gets cold outside.
• Anticipate a temperature change. Begin planning alternative exercise routines early. Plan ahead; don’t wait until you are forced to change your workouts. A fi tness routine that consists of running, walking, cycling or hiking may have to be al-tered during colder months.
• Find innovative and fun activities that could take the place of outdoor activities that may have to be put on hold during the winter, such as dance lessons, spinning classes, mall walking or indoor rock climb-ing. Try different activities before
the really cold weather arrives, so you’re well-prepared if your work-outs have to change. Keeping your-self active and motivated are top priorities.
• Prepare your body for colder weather. Not everyone hibernates; if you continue to walk, run or cycle outdoors as the weather changes, it is extremely important to equip your body with tools to fi ght the el-ements.
Dress in layers and protect your head, ears, face, nose, hands and toes. As you begin to warm up you can always peel back layers. And drink plenty of fl uids. Although the weather is cold outside and you may take longer to build a sweat, staying hydrated is still important.
• Go with the fl ow. Try to remain fl exible and give yourself many op-tions. Since the weather is beyond our control, developing plans for different scenarios can be helpful. Joining a health club, purchasing an aerobic video or teaming up with a friend who owns fi tness equipment are three options you can use to complete your aerobic workout re-gardless of outside conditions.
Also, remember not to be too hard on yourself if you miss a day -- just get back on track as soon as pos-sible.
Always consult a physician before be-ginning an exercise program. If you have a fi tness or training question, write to Andrea in care of King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Or-lando, FL 32853-6475.

SNIPPETZ® HEALTH AND WELLNESS
Are you one serious illness away from bankruptcy? Many are.
Those of us with “health” insurance policies think we’re protected from the burden of huge medical bills. You may be surprised to learn that’s just not true. In a Harvard University study of almost 2,000 Americans in bankruptcy court, half said that illness or medical bills drove them to bankruptcy.
Every 30 seconds in the United States, someone fi les for bankruptcy because of a serious health problem. Surpris-ingly, more than 75 percent of those fi l-ing for bankruptcy had insurance, los-ing their coverage during the course of their illness. Thus, they face the double disaster of illness and bankruptcy.
“If you’re sick enough, long enough, you’re likely to be fi nancially ruined,” cautioned Dr. David Himmelstein, the lead author of the Harvard study.
Once thought largely the result of bad business deals, out of control credit card debt or just bad luck, bankruptcy is increasingly accompanying serious health problems. In fact, people who go under from medical debt are mostly middle-class or working-class people who own their own homes.
The solution? Don’t get sick, of course.
TRUE HEALTH INSURANCE
THEDOCTOR
IS IN
by Dr. Christy Meislahn
An insightful lookat Health
But how?
Keep in mind, health is our normal, natural state. Many people neglect their health, paying attention to it only when their symptoms become unbear-able. By then, problems can be well advanced, often becoming irreversible. That’s why I sometimes sound like a broken record, constantly suggesting preventive and wellness visits.
Visiting our offi ce when you’re feeling great may sound a little strange to your health insurance provider. It may even sound strange to you. But preventive measures may actually provide more “insurance” than your insurance.

MEXICANCUISINE
You can enjoy a variety of nutri-tious foods in Mexican Cuisine including beans, corn, rice, and
cheese. Unfortunately many dishes are fried, topped with high-fat cheese, gua-camole, high-fat sour cream, or high-sodium salsa. Try to fi nd a Mexican res-taurant that uses fresh ingredients and not much salt. Ask the server if they use fresh ingredients for their salsa. Choose items such as bean tacos, bean enchi-ladas, Spanish rice, or chicken fajitas. Leave out or set aside the guacamole,
sour cream, refried beans, nachos, deep fried chips (and other fried foods), and cheese enchiladas. If you fi nd this dif-fi cult to do, try to limit your visits to a Mexican restaurant.
Don’t forget, you can enjoy a tasty, home-cooked, Mexican meal! Your Diet Center program allows for beans, corn, tortillas (EY program only), sal-sa, fat-free sour cream, low-fat cheese, rice, and low-fat meats. You have more control over the ingredients and por-tion sizes when you prepare your own meals. So when you crave Mexican, you can check out your own cupboards and enjoy enchiladas and Spanish rice in the comfort of your own home, where you can enjoy more and weigh less!

1. Place ingredients in a food processor and puree until creamy.
Smoked or grilled salmon (or trout) can also be used in place of the lox but salt will need to be added too.
This is great with crackers or if you are planning a special tea party it will make great fi nger sandwiches. Just get the cheep wonder bread type bread and spread a thin layer on it. Top it with a second piece, trim the crust and cut into little sandwiches.
To make this lower in fat, you can use fat free cottage cheese and a tablespoon of red wine vinegar in place of the cream cheese.
Be creative, have fun and enjoy!!!
BALANCE IN ACTION
For fi rsthand experience of how the principle of taste works, try this. Make a very strong cup of tea. When you sip it, the tea will taste bitter because it’s very
tannic. Now add lemon juice; the tea will taste astringent (constricting and drying out your mouth) because the acid of the lemon juice and the tannin of the tea are accentuating each other. Now add lots of sugar to the tea. The sweetness should counter-balance the acid-tannin impact, and the tea will taste softer than it did before.

FAVE FOODS OF THE
FAMOUSBy Steven J. Austin
NATALIE ALLEN
When this column was launched in 2002, it quickly became ap-parent that readers around the
country just love it when we feature the hosts seen on The Weather Channel. We get more e-mails about them than we do when we interview Academy Award win-ners! Natalie Allen is the anchor and re-porter for “Forecast Earth” on The Weather Channel. You can see her every Saturday and Sunday at 5 p.m., 7 p.m., 1 a.m. and 3 a.m.Allen is a Memphis, Tenn., native and re-ceived her bachelor’s degree in radio, TV and fi lm from the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg. She has been an award-winning broadcast journalist for more than 20 years, and she is in the South-ern Miss Alumni Hall of Fame. Allen also contributes to the “Forecast Earth” blog at www.weather.com/forecastearth. For addi-tional info: www.weather.com.
You grew up in the Deep South and went to college in Mississippi. Which Southern foods and treats do you still crave?“Topps BBQ in Memphis. And please, the coleslaw goes ON the sandwich. The cat-fi sh and hushpuppies at Mack’s Fish Camp in Hattiesburg. I’ll take fried green toma-toes anytime. And you can serve me any vegetable that’s been cooked for hours in fatback.”
Let’s say you have to spend a few months in Antarctica researching a story. Choose three snacks you’d surely take along:“I almost went to Antarctica last spring on a story, and defi nitely would have taken a box or two of Goobers -- the giant box like you get at the movie theatre -- Rice Krispie Treats and Chunky Monkey ice cream. I have a bit of a sweet tooth, but I fi gure that with the giant parka I’ll be wearing, no one will notice the weight gain!”
Behind the scenes at The Weather Chan-nel, do your co-workers often bring in homemade food items?“We mainly bump into to each other at the ice-cream machine located in The Front Cafe. But, I recently brought in oatmeal/zucchini cookies, and they went really fast. See the recipe in ‘Animal, Vegetable, Mira-cle’ by Barbara Kingsolver. I did a story on the book for ‘Forecast Earth.’”
Kids often like to catch snowfl akes in their mouth. Which fl avor do you wish snow could taste like?“Butterscotch.”
Hurricanes are named after people. If you could name them using food/bever-age names, give us a few ides.“Big Gulp is a Category 1 storm. The Mac-chiato -- double shot -- is a Category 2. And for a Category 3, it would have to be the Grand Slam.”
BLUEBERRY CAKEWITH WALNUT TOPPING
1/4 cup canola oil2/3 cup rice syrup (or 1/2 cup other sweet-ener)1 teaspoon vanilla2/3 cup soy milk2 cups whole-wheat pastry fl our1/4 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon baking soda1/2 teaspoon cinnamon1/2 pint washed blueberries1 tablespoon canola oil2/3 cup chopped walnuts2 tablespoons rice syrup (or same amount of honey or maple syrup)
Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly oil an 8-by-8-inch baking dish. Blend liquid ingredients together in one bowl and dry ingredients (except blueberries) together in another bowl. Combine liquid with dry and stir un-til just mixed. Fold in blueberries and pour into lightly oiled baking dish.For topping: In a small saucepan, combine oil, walnuts and rice syrup; heat on low and stir until rice syrup is very liquid and all ingredients are well-blended. Spoon wal-nut topping over cake batter as evenly as possible. Bake in oven for 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool before serving.

SHIH-TZUIS BITINGHERSELF
CRAZYDEAR PAW’S CORNER: What would make my shih-tzu bite her tail? I noticed that “Mitzy” was constantly trying to nibble her own tail. When I looked closer, I found a hard lump and a small cut that was draining. She bites at it worse at night. Mitzy has no fl eas, but she does have dry skin. What’s going on? -- Alice H., via e-mail
DEAR ALICE: Without knowing exactly where the lump is located, I can’t say for certain. It goes without saying that any change in a dog’s behavior, or anything odd that you notice on your pet (such as a new lump or a draining cut) should prompt you to visit the veterinarian as soon as possible for a thorough checkup.
Some dogs, regardless of breed, suffer from chronic dry skin. But dry skin can be a herald of a deeper

health problem, such as a thyroid condition, which can only be deter-mined through a blood test. So, the best thing to do, again, is mention it to Mitzy’s vet when you bring her in to have the lump checked.
The vet may do a biopsy to deter-mine whether the lump is benign. He or she also will ask you a num-ber of questions about Mitzy’s daily behavior: how much and how often she eats, if she is drinking and uri-nating more than usual, if the dry skin has been a problem for a long time or if it’s recent, any known food allergies or health problems, and so on.
If there are no underlying problems, the vet may recommend that you try a change in Mitzy’s diet (he or she will give you some options) to treat her dry skin. You can also add an Omega 3 supplement to her food -- the vet may have this available, or you can purchase the supplement at a pet store.

Mittens is a 4 year old black and white neutered male cat. He’s sweet, cuddly,
and loves attention. He was the “baby” of the family until the own-ers son arrived. Mittens doesn’t particularly like the fact that new baby gets more attention than him. He’s a great cat, but the owners feel that he would be happier in a new home. Mittens has quite a personal-ity! It’s a sad parting. Mittens is up to date on all his shots and is an indoor cat.
If you are interested in adopting Mittens into your heart and home please contact SAINT Animal Res-cue located in Calhan at 541-3099..you might need to use the 719 area code.
It is always a challenge when adopt-ing a new pet. SAINT Animal Res-cue asks the adopter to give the ani-mal a reasonable amount of time to adjust to it’s new family and envi-
ronment. This is so very important to your new family member as well as your existing family members.
Please visit our website at saintani-malrescue.org and as always thank you for caring.

FINANCIAL FOCUS
SCARY INVESTMENT MOVES CAN LEAD
TO FRIGHTFULRESULTS
Provided by Adam Graysonof EdwardJones Investments
As we approach Halloween, you’ll spot many ghouls, ghosts and graves, which
you probably will fi nd more amus-ing than frightening. However, whether it’s Halloween or not, you can encounter things that truly might threaten your future well-being — such as scary investment moves.
Here are a few of these “terrifying tactics” you’ll want to avoid:
Investing too conservatively — When most people think of making investment mistakes, they’re prob-ably worried about investing too ag-gressively. And, of course, you don’t want to take unnecessary risks. But what you might not realize is that “playing it safe” can be just as dan-gerous to your long-term goals. If you consistently put most of your investment dollars into fi xed-rate vehicles, such as Certifi cates of Deposit (CDs) and Treasury bills, you might not even earn enough to stay ahead of infl ation, much less achieve the growth you need to pay for a retirement that could last two or three decades. Consequently, you will need some exposure to growth-oriented vehicles, such as stocks. While it’s true that stock prices will fl uctuate, and you do risk losing some or your entire principal, you can lessen this risk by purchasing quality stocks and holding them for the long term.
Timing the market—Too many people jump in the market when they think it’s going up and get out when they feel it’s going down. But it’s impossible for anyone to really pre-dict market highs and lows — and if you base your investment decisions on this type of “market timing,” you could end up hurting your progress toward your fi nancial objectives. For example, if you stop investing
when you think a slump is coming, but the market quickly turns around, you’ll miss the opening stages of a rally, when the biggest gains are of-ten recorded.
Over-reacting to bad news — Wars, corporate scandals and natural disasters, among other occurrences, often send investors scurrying to the sidelines, convinced that the bad news will lead to a severe market de-cline. Typically, though, any decline following a signifi cant, negatively perceived event, is short-lived, and, in many cases, the market recoups its losses and moves to higher levels within a matter of months.
Chasing “hot” stocks — You can get stock “tips” from everyone — friends, neighbors, magazines, the Internet, talking heads on television and so on. Some of these tips come from well-informed sources, while others do not, but they all have one thing in common — they’re es-sentially worthless to you. For one thing, by the time you get a tip for a “hot” stock, it may already be cool-ing down. But more importantly, the stock may not be appropriate for your individual situation. If, for in-stance, you buy shares of a company that is very similar to other compa-nies you already own, and an eco-nomic downturn affects the industry to which those companies belong, you will hurt, rather than help, your portfolio by purchasing the so-called hot stock. You’re much better off by ignoring these tips and focusing on building a portfolio that is suitable for your risk tolerance, time horizon and long-term goals.
By avoiding these “scary” invest-ment moves, you can help yourself achieve some results that aren’t too frightful — in fact, they may even-tually be sweeter than the best Hal-loween candy.

If one of your worries is whether you're investing at theright time, it shouldn't be. By investing a set amount ofmoney regularly, you establish a simple routine that canhelp make your financial goals a reality.
In addition, investing regularly can:� Make it possible to use market fluctuations
to your advantage � Add potential growth and diversification
to your portfolio� Keep your long-term financial goals in focus
Investing a set amount of money on a regular basis does not ensure a profit and does not protectagainst loss in declining markets. Such a plan involves continual investment in securitiesregardless of fluctuating price levels of such securities. You should consider your financialability to continue the purchases through periods of low price levels.

DOLLARS AND SENSEBY David Uffi ngton
HOPE FORHOMEOWNERSThe HOPE for Homeowners Act is now in ef-
fect. Signed by President Bush in July as part of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act
of 2008, the HOPE program is designed to give relief to millions of struggling homeowners by restructur-ing their home mortgages.
To be eligible, the homeowner must:• Use the home as his main residence.• Certify that he hasn’t defaulted on the loan just to take advantage of the HOPE program.• Have a debt-to-income ratio greater than 31 percent as of March 1, 2008.If the borrower qualifi es, the lender will rewrite the loan down to an amount that the borrower can pay, up to a cap of 90 percent of the current market value of the home.The new loans must have a fi xed rate for 30 years, with the borrower annually paying an extra 1.5 per-
cent of the loan principal for FHA insurance.The downside to the borrower is that he must split any equity with the FHA down the road. That amount will be determined by a phased-in sliding scale, but can be as much as 100 percent of the equity if the borrower pays off the loan (by selling or refi nancing) in the fi rst year, or down to 50 percent at fi ve years.Not all lenders are eager to participate in the pro-gram, however. In theory they’ll lose a bit now to keep from possibly losing a lot later if they don’t help homeowners get mortgages under control. Under the program, lenders would have to reduce the amount of the mortgage to 90 percent of the home’s present market value, which can be a considerable loss if home values in their area have already plunged. And the lenders will have to pay FHA, the backer of the loans, 3 percent of the amount. Additional provisions of the Act include a federal tax credit up to $7,500 (10 percent of the purchase price) to buy a new home, new regulations on reverse mortgages for the elderly and more protections for veterans facing foreclosure.To read details of the Act, go to www.govtrack.us, click Bills and Resolutions, and put H.R. 3221 in the search box.

DIVORCE / FAMILYLAW

© Christopher C. Meyer, August, 2006
Child support is calculated according to the Colorado Child Support Guide-lines. The amount of child support is
a mathematical calculation based on many fac-tors – the major factors being the gross income of each parent, the number of children, and the number of overnights the children spend with each parent. The basic child support amount is adjusted by various factors such as the cost of health insurance for the children.
The following two examples are illustrative:
Ex.1 – Father’s monthly gross income is $4,000 and he pays $250 per month for health insur-ance for two children. Mother’s gross income is $2,500 per month. The children spend ap-proximately 50% of overnights with each par-ent. Father must pay $121 per month to mother for child support.
Ex.2 – Same as Ex. 1, except children spend only 22% of overnights with father. Father must pay mother $666 per month for child sup-
port.
A court can deviate from the guideline amount of child support, but must have good reasons for doing so.
Child support is an obligation of the parent(s) to support the child(ren). Parents cannot con-tract to pay no child support. A Court will not approve such a contract absent very unusual circumstances.
Child support terminates when a child reaches age 19 or is emancipated. There are excep-tions to the age 19 limit if a child is still in high school.
Child support can be modifi ed if the modifi ca-tion would result in a 10% or greater change in the amount of child support to be paid.
Failure to pay child support cannot be used to deny a parent visitation (parenting time) with a child.
Child support law is the same as other law. You must remember that: you may not understand the law; you may not like it; and you may not think its fair; but it’s the law!

MOMENTS IN TIMETHE HISTORY CHANNEL
• On Oct. 27, 1904, the New York City subway opens. The fi rst line, operated by the Inter-borough Rapid Transit Com-pany (IRT), traveled 9.1 miles through 28 stations. More than 100,000 people paid a nickel each to take their fi rst ride un-der Manhattan.
• On Oct. 31, 1926, Harry Houdini, the most celebrated magician and escape artist of the 20th century, dies of perito-nitis in a Detroit hospital. Hou-dini’s appendix ruptured when he was punched in the stomach by a student after a lecture in Montreal.
• On Nov. 2, 1947, the Hughes Flying Boat -- the largest air-craft ever built -- is piloted by designer Howard Hughes on its fi rst and only fl ight. The massive wooden aircraft had a wingspan longer than a foot-ball fi eld and was designed to carry more than 700 troops into battle.
• On Nov. 1, 1959, Montreal Canadien Jacques Plante be-comes the fi rst NHL goaltender to wear a full facemask. Once
it caught on, most goaltenders wore Plante-designed masks until the end of the 1960s, when Soviet goalies introduced cage-style masks that made it easier to see.
• On Oct. 28, 1965, construc-tion is completed on the Gate-way Arch, a spectacular 630-foot-high parabola of stainless steel on the waterfront of St. Louis, Mo. The Gateway Arch was erected to commemorate President Thomas Jefferson’s Louisiana Purchase of 1803.
• On Oct. 30, 1974, 32-year-old Muhammad Ali becomes heavyweight champion of the world for the second time when he knocks out 25-year-old champ George Foreman in the eighth round of the “Rumble in the Jungle,” a match in Kin-shasa, Zaire. Seven years ear-lier, Ali was stripped of his title when the government accused him of draft-dodging.
• On Oct. 29, 1998, nearly four decades after he became the fi rst American to orbit the Earth, U.S. Sen. John Glenn Jr., is launched into space again as a payload specialist aboard the space shuttle Discovery. At 77 years of age, Glenn was the oldest human ever to travel in space.

My grasp of Spanish is tenuous at best. I know a few words, and virtually all of them
can be found on the drive-thru menu at Taco Bell. However, I do know one Spanish word that can be used to de-scribe “Beverly Hills Chihuahua”:Ca-ca.
Man, does this movie stink. And I’m not sure who it was made for. After about 10 minutes, adults will fi nd themselves trying to chew their own eyes out, and I don’t see how any kid would sit still for this hour-and-a-half mess.
The story is about a pampered female Chihuahua named Chloe (voiced by Drew Barrymore), who lives in Bev-erly Hills with her owner Viv (Jamie
Lee Curtis), the CEO of a cosmetics company.
Viv has to travel to Europe on a busi-ness junket, so she leaves Chloe with her niece Rachel (Piper Perabo). Ra-chel takes the dog along on a week-end trip to Mexico and forgets the dog when she leaves.
Chloe, stranded in Mexico, is captured by a guy who runs an underground dog-fi ghting club. There Chloe meets a Ger-man shepherd (voiced by Andy Garcia) who helps her escape. They are chased by a Doberman named El Diablo (Ed-ward James Olmos) because the Mexi-can Michael Vick sees that Chloe was wearing a diamond collar and thinks he can ransom her.
Eventually, everyone ends up at an Aztec ruin populated by a pack of revolutionary Chihuahuas who spout revisionist history and perform Broad-way-style dance routines. Yeah. You read that right.
There is a Mayan calendar that says the end of the world will occur in 2012. After watching “Beverly Hills Chihua-hua,” it’s safe to say the Mayans were four years off.

Salome’s StarsWeek of October 27, 2008
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The high standards you set for yourself don’t always translate into the behavior you expect of others. That relationship problem can be resolved if you’re more fl exible and less judgmental.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Not enough party bids to satisfy the Bovine’s fun-loving side this week? Go ahead and throw one of your own. Then prepare for some serious work coming up early next week.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A new and intensely productive cycle is about to kick in. Be careful not to get too stressed out, though. Make time to restore your energies by relaxing with family and friends.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This could be a good time to share some of your plans with those closest to you. Their comments could give you some added insight into how you might accomplish your goals.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) An attack of self-doubt might be unsettling for the usu-ally super-assured Feline. But it could be your inner voice telling you to hold off implementing your plans until you’ve reas-sessed them.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) This is a great time for you to reward yourself for all your hard work by taking a trip you haven’t spent months carefully planning, to somewhere you never thought you’d be going.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Some misunderstandings resist being re-solved. But your sincerity in wanting to soothe those hurt feelings wins the day. By month’s end, that relationship should begin to show signs of healing.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A hectic job schedule begins to ease just in time to blow off all that work-generated steam on Halloween. A family situation runs into an unexpected complication.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to Decem-ber 21) A cutting remark in the workplace needs to be handled with fi nesse. Remem-ber: How you respond could determine the depth of support you gain from col-leagues.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Once again, that Capricornean stub-born streak sets in and could keep you from getting much-needed advice. Fortunately, it lifts by week’s end, in time to make an informed decision.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A surprise trip early in the week could lead to other unexpected offers when you re-turn. Word to the wise: Avoid talking too much about this until you’ve made some decisions.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Learn-ing dominates the week for perspicacious Pisceans, who are always looking to widen their range of knowledge. A series of im-portant job-linked commitments begins late in the week.
BORN THIS WEEK: Your sense of hu-mor generates good feelings and good will everywhere you go.

WHAT HAPPENSTO THE ITEMS
THAT I RECYCLE?AEROSOL CANS:
• Material extracted from aerosol cans is disposed of as hazardous waste.• The metal that remains is collected by a scrap metal recycler.
AMMUNITION:is incinerated; the metal casings are recy-cled.
AUTOMOTIVEPRODUCTS:
• Antifreeze is fi ltered, chemicals are add-ed to restore it to comparable virgin anti-freeze, and then it is re-sold.• Lead-Acid Batteries are smashed and placed in a vat where the lead and heavy materials sink to the bottom while the plas-tic fl oats. The plastic is Melted and used to manufacture new battery cases. The lead and heavy metals are melted and used to make new battery parts. This “closed loop” recycling diverts a lot of material from the waste stream.• Motor Oil is fi ltered and re-used as fuel in the asphalt paving business.• Oil Filters are separated into metal and paper: the metal is melted and re-used in making steel; the paper is used as an al-ternative fuel source at approved cement kilns.
BATTERIES: (Alkaline and Rechargeable)
• Metals from dry-cell batteries (i.e., alka-line, lithium, and nickel-cadmium) are ex-tracted and re-used to make new batteries, stainless steel and re-bar steel. • Other extracted materials are used in products for building roads, parking lots and commercial driveways. • Paper and plastic components are not recycled because the small quantity and mixed grade render them unacceptable to
users of recycled paper and plastic. • After a 40-pound battery is recycled, the material that re-mains weighs about as much as a car key!
ELECTRONICS:• Items are disassembled into glass, plas-tics and metals which are reclaimed for manufacturing new products. • Less than 5% of e-waste is landfi ll.
FIREEXTINGUISHERS:
are either recharged, or recycled as scrap iron.
FUELS:• High BTU (>5,000 BTUs/lb.) liquids, sludge, and solids are blended into an alter-native fuel used by approved cement kilns.
LAWN & GARDEN CHEMICALS, HOUSE-
HOLD PRODUCTS, MEDICATIONS:
• Usable items are placed on the Drop & Swap shelves and are offered free to El Paso and Teller county residents.• Unusable items are incinerated at high temperatures, which can destroy up to 99.9% of all hazardous elements.
MERCURY:• Items containing mercury (i.e., fl uores-cent lights, fever thermometers, thermo-stats and light switches) are processed in ultra-high temperature ovens that separate the mercury from the glass and metal. • 99.9% of the mercury is recaptured; the remaining glass and metal is recycled.
PAINT / STAINS:• Good paint is bulked for reuse by non-profi t organizations, private citizens, con-tractors, locations like the State• Fairgrounds, and for graffi ti removal.• Unusable paint is either disposed of at an approved location or used to make building materials.• Stains are either reused once, or bulked and disposed of with an environmental company to be used as fuel at approved ce-ment kilns.
PROPANE TANKS:are either reused, or recycled as scrap iron for art pieces or projects.
