Prevent kitchen fires the theme of Fire Prevention Week

By Nikki Ackerman Staff Writer With a theme of "Prevent Kitchen Fires, this years Fire Prevention Week will aim to educate the public on the most common origin of a house firethe kitchenand offer tips on how to keep cooking flare-ups from happening in the first place. This is one of the biggest causes of home fires, said John Delain, public education coordinator for the Germantown Fire Department. We respond to quite a few of thesestove fires, kitchen firesevery year. Along with emphasizing this years theme, local officials will be promoting the goal of increased general fire safety among the publica mission that has been a top National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) priority since 1922. Established to commemorate the Great Chicago Firewhich began Oct. 8, 1871 and continued into the next day when it did the majority of its damageFire Prevention Week is observed on the Sunday through Saturday period in which Oct. 9 falls. Area residents will have an opportunity to learn fire safety lessons in a fun way as Fire Prevention Week events take place throughout the county at public safety departments and schools. One community favoritethe Germantown Fire Departments annual Fire Safety Fairwill take place Saturday, Oct. 5 from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Fire Station #2, N115 W18752 Edison Drive. The fair will include a variety of childrens and family activities, including a Sparky Bounce House, a display of fire trucks and the Survive Alive House, and food and beverages will be available for purchase. Most importantly, attendees will have access to fire safety information and get to participate in realistic kitchen fire situations. Through hands-on demonstrations, we will teach people things like how to extinguish a grease fire or use a cover to stop the fire from spreading, Delain explained, noting that the department will have a stove set up at the fair. The eventwhich typically draws around 1,000 area residentswill also feature a child identification station set up by the village police department and booths run by area health care professionals. There will be a lot of great educational tools available, said Delain. People will be able to see what their local firefighters do and how they do it, and just learn more about safety in general. Other communities will be taking a different approach to Fire Prevention Week. While Menomonee Falls will not be holding its usually Safety Fair this fall, each of the villages four fire stations scheduled an open housefeaturing various activitieson different Saturdays through September and into October. (The final open house will take place Saturday, Oct. 5 at Fire Station #1, N88 W16631 Appleton Ave.) The West Bend Fire Department will also host an open house, set for Saturday, Oct. 12 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Also, the department has taken on the initiative to get free fire alarmsthe NFPA is now recommending each bedroom have oneinto the homes of qualifying families. We want to make sure we at least get them to the elderly and into homes where there are young children, said Tammy Lamberg, captain of fire prevention and public safety in West Bend. (For more information on this program, residents can call 262-335-5055.) For every department, educating kids is a huge part of the equation, and the week leading up to the fair, firefighters will be talking to students at their local schools. The kids enjoy that quite a bit, Delain said. They have fun and they learn a lot. This is quite apropos as the history of Fire Prevention Week brings with it as much silly legend as it does serious lessons. As the story goes, the Great Chicago Fire broke out when Mrs. Catherine O'Learys cow kicked over a lamp and set the family barn, and eventually the whole city, on fire. According to the NFPA website, the blaze killed more than 250 people, left 100,000 homeless, destroyed more than 17,400 structures and burned more than 2,000 acres. While the Chicago fire receives all the fanfare, history buffs know that the Peshtigo Firewhich occurred the exact same dayleft far more wreckage in its wake. The most devastating forest fire in American history, the northeast Wisconsin blaze killed 1,152 people, burned down 16 towns and destroyed 1.2 million acres. However, all the death and damage was not without a positive ending. On the 40th anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire, the Fire Marshals Association of North America (now known as the International Fire Marshals Association) decided to start observing the tragedy in a way that drives home the importance of fire prevention, and according to the National Archives and Records Administration's Library Information Center, Fire Prevention Week is the longest running public health and safety observance on record. This is a very good thing, said Delain. It is a very important week to recognize because it focuses on safety in the home and in the community, he said. The goal is to prevent as many fire-related injuries and deaths as we possibly can.

Scream for Halloween

(Family Features) Ask people to name their favorite holiday and many will scream Halloween. Its one of the best times of year for crafting, cooking and scaring up some truly creative treats and decorations. Whether you love creating a little glitz and glamour or something frightening and fun, the experts at the Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores have come with ideas and inspirations for making this Halloween your best one yet. Frightful Fun: Lead trick-or-treaters to their doom or, at least, your front door by lining the sidewalks with glowing rocks. Paint smooth river rocks with glow-in-the-dark spray paint. Once dry, use black paint and a brush to write scary words or draw silly designs on the rocks. Decorate Your Heart Out: Use black glass paint to turn a thrift store cake stand into a pedestal for your scariest Halloween decorations. Pile plastic hearts or skulls in the middle and cover with a clear glass cloche. Decorated cupcakes or a cake pop display would also work well under glass. Eat, Drink and be Scary: Scary food ideas abound, but few drinks scream Halloween more than an embellished decanter of swampy green brew or blood red punch. Before pouring the brew into fun glassware, drop plastic spider rings inside ice cube trays, fill with bottled water and freeze. Your guests will love a few frozen creepy crawlies in their drink. Making your own embellished decanter and glassware is a simple project for crafters at every level. The best part is you can get the whole family involved. For more holiday decor inspiration and craft projects, visit www.JoAnn.com. Crafting Time: 1-2 hours Skill Level: No experience necessary Supplies and Tools: Wine decanter Wine glasses Gloss-finish glass paint Adhesive stencils Jute Self-adhesive rhinestones: black, orange Sponge pouncer Hot glue gun and glue sticks

Wine Glass: 1.) Adhere stencils to wine glass in design of choice. 2.) Using a sponge pouncer, paint in the stencil. Remove adhesive stencil while still wet, and then allow glass to dry. 3.) Wrap stem of wine glass in jute. Start by adding a small amount of glue at the top of the stem to secure the jute in place. Tuck the raw end of jute into wrap as the stem is circled. Wrap to the base of wine glass. Add a small amount of glue at the end to secure. 4.) Embellish the base of the wine glass with self-adhesive rhinestones. Decanter: 1.) Using a hot glue gun, stabilize 4 pieces of jute to the bottom of the decanter. Design a spider web pattern up the decanter using jute. Each horizontal piece of the spider web is individually cut and glued in place. 2.) Horizontally wrap jute around the decanter to hide the raw edges of jute created by the spider web. Use glue at the start and finish to hold in place. 3.) Embellish decanter with self-adhesive rhinestones.

Local Youth Making a World of Difference

Slinger graduate honored for her many musical talents

By Nikki Ackerman Staff Writer Theres not a whole lot Jennifer Schraufnagel cant doespecially musically. Not only was the 2013 Slinger High School graduate a member of the National Honor Society and involved with the Girl Scouts from first to twelfth grade, but she also plays four instrumentsthe alto saxophone, clarinet, piano and bassoon. The gifted 18-year-old (she will turn 19 on Oct. 4)a lifelong Slinger resident who until heading to college lived with her parents, Ken and Cheri, and younger brother Jacobwas recognized for her talents with three different scholarships this spring. She received the Fred Aliota Memorial Scholarship, the S.A.M.B.A. Music Scholarship and the Michael J. Halbauer Memorial Scholarship. The S.A.M.B.A. (Slinger Area Music Booster Association) scholarship is open to all four-year band students through the high schools band booster club; the Aliota scholarship, awarded to a student majoring in music at a chosen university, is given in the memory of the man who directed the Hartford City Band for 25 years; and the Halbauer scholarshipopen to all Slinger choir or band students majoring or minoring in music in collegeis presented in honor of a very talented Slinger High School drum major who died of cancer in 2005 before he could pursue his musical career at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. Schraufnagelwho played in the Wind Ensemble, Jazz Lab and Concert Band during her years at the high schoolsaid she was humbled upon learning she had earned the scholarships, particularly the Halbauer one as it is given to someone who embodies the driven spirit of the drum major. I was very surprised and also very honored, she said. It is a huge honor to follow such a great legacy. Michael was a phenomenal musician. I didnt know people saw that in me. People do see that in her, and then some, said Adam Kieckhafer, one of the Slinger High School band directors who worked closely with Schraufnagel from eighth grade on and helped select her for the Halbauer scholarship. He emphasized that a huge part of the reason he and his fellow music educators chose Schraufnagel was because of her dedication and how she is consistent in so many areas. I cant say enough about Jennifer; she is a good student, a good person, a hard worker. Everything she does, she does well, Kieckhafer said. She has worked hard for everything she has achieved in life. She didnt just put a little time into music; she has been doing this from a young age all the way up. Indeed, Schraufnagel began her musical journey with the clarinet in fifth grade until she realized her hands were too small. She then moved on to her primary instrument of alto sax, and senior year, when then band director Dave Hanke told her he needed a bassoon player, she stepped right into the role, playing the new instrument along with her sax, plus a little bit of clarinet and piano, she said. Basically it is my life, she said of music and band, adding that she has had to make numerous social sacrifices along the way. Five percent is performance and practice is 95 percent. The time you put into it is everything. If you dont practice, it wont work. Schraufnagel said everything clicked for her freshman year. Thats when I realized, Yes, music is it for me! she recalled. Ever since then it has been my life. Throughout her entire high school tenure, Schraufnagel never hesitated to share her time and talents with others, Kieckhafer pointed out. Jennifer is an achiever and as she achieved success she helped her classmates achieve success also, he said. And she always did it in a positive way. She was never out to be better than someone else. Schraufnagel has other honors on her musical resume as well: she earned a Directors Choice Award her freshman year; was the Wind Ensembles section leader and lead alto in Jazz Lab eleventh and twelfth grades and first chair alto sax in Concert Band in ninth grade; received a scholarship for a band camp at Lawrence University in Appleton; played as part of the pit band for the high schools fall musicals; and served as assistant drum major for Slingers marching band last year. Most of my extracurriculars have come from band, she said. Its been a lot of fun. This fall she began at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point where she is working on her instrumental music education major and playing saxophone in the school band. Preparing to audition for the university bandwith a slow piece to showcase her lyrical skills and a faster piece to highlight the technicalwas an arduous process, Schraufnagel said. Every morning I would come to school, run through the songs, go socialize a bit and then come back and practice again, she said. With her college career underway, Schraufnagel is ready for next step. Im very excited for this new chapter in my life, she said. I am ready for the next challenge. Schraufnagel said she looks forward to the day when she can use her special gifts and unique musical background to help younger musicians, perhaps as a band director herself. I know our community is all about giving back and I want to take what I learned in Slinger and hopefully one day give it right back, she said.

Feed Your Childs Mind with Breakfast

(Family Features) With the new school year underway, attention has shifted toward to-do lists filled with tasks such as buying school supplies, going clothes shopping and getting sports physicals. What may not be on the list yet is making breakfast a priority. Why is breakfast an important addition to any back-to-school plan? Because this morning meal can help set kids up for success in the classroom. Through research, it has been proven that when you feed a childs mind with a nutrient-rich breakfast, he or she will perform better in school. A recent report by the American College of Sports Medicine, American School Health Association, GENYOUth Foundation and National Dairy Council shows that kids who eat breakfast in addition to being physically active have better memory, attention and behavior; and score higher on tests. Not only does breakfast boost brain power, it also leads to improved nutritional status. This is because kids who skip breakfast dont typically make up for the nutrients they miss at other meals throughout the day. When it comes to building a nutrient-rich breakfast, low-fat and fat-free milk, cheese and yogurt are smart foods to include. Together, they deliver a unique package of nine essential nutrients in a variety of tasty and affordable options. By including dairy in the morning meal, families also put themselves on track to meet the 2010 Dietary Guidelines, which recommends three daily servings of low-fat and fat-free dairy foods for people ages 9 and older. Find nutritious dairy recipes to prepare for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks at www.dairymakessense.com. The bottom line is a healthy student is a better student. To feed your childs mind this school year, fuel them with a nutrient-rich breakfast made with dairy every day. Here are some simple tips: Keep breakfast foods on hand, like ready-to-eat cereals, yogurts, white and flavored milks and fruit. Kids can help themselves before they head out the door. Break breakfast boredom by eating foods like a ham and cheese sandwich or pizza. Take advantage of the School Breakfast Program. It offers a nutritious and convenient option for students who are pressed for time in the morning. Role model good breakfast behavior. When kids see that breakfast is a priority for adults, they will be more likely to eat it themselves. Mix breakfast up with milk. For example, prepare oatmeal with milk instead of water. Use yogurt to whip up a smoothie or build a parfait for a simple kid-friendly breakfast.

Frosty Orange Banana Sipper Servings: 1 Prep time: 5 minutes Ingredients: 1 medium banana, peeled, chunked and frozen 3 ounces frozen orange juice concentrate 1 cup low-fat milk 1 container (6 ounces) low-fat vanilla yogurt Directions: Set milk in freezer 30 minutes before using. Combine all ingredients in a blender; blend until smooth and creamy. Pour into glass and enjoy.

How to Help Seniors Age Independently

(NewsUSA)Ask most seniors if they want to age independently in their own homes, and they likely will say yes. Surveys show 95 percent of people over the age of 75 desire to age in place, and about a quarter of seniors live alone. These numbers are just the beginning. Baby Boomers are now turning 65 at a rate of about 8,000 a day, according to AARP. But what if you're the adult child of one of those independent-minded seniors? What if, like Alison Jacobson, whose SafetyMom.com blog has a loyal following, you find yourself frequently worrying about your parents' well-being? "While aging-in-place is the goal for most seniors, how do you, as the adult child, ensure sure they're safe?" she asks. Here are some tips for dealing with the situation: Preventing falls. Falls are a leading cause of injury and death for seniors. Like the worry Jacobson describes, a new survey by market researchers Toluna found that a far greater number of caregivers were concerned about seniors being injured than seniors themselves were (76.1 percent vs. 33 percent). One simple first step is to remove all scatter rugs and make sure electric cords don't extend into high-traffic areas. Upgrading lights. While seniors sometimes may be reluctant to admit it, vision diminishes with age. So, brighten lights in kitchen work areas to reduce the risk of burns and cuts. Tech fix. The latest technology is the answer to substantial research highlighting the importance of staying connected for both seniors and caregivers. Harvard University researchers found that the odds of mental decline doubled for seniors with no social ties, for example, while Toluna's survey looked at the emotional toll on those trying to help loved ones age in place. "For caregivers, ease of communication with the seniors they love relieves stress, reduces guilt and builds rich relationships," says expert on successful aging Adriane Berg. Enter the new CareLine home safety telephone system from VTech (www.vtechphones.com/CareLine). The product includes three individual pieces designed for optimal usability, even for those with vision, hearing and dexterity issues. The pieces are the corded base phone with photo displays for frequent contacts, a cordless handset and a very handy pendant that can also be snapped onto a belt and easily kept with the user. The pendant can make and receive calls, access voicemail, and receive automatic reminders about medications and appointments.

Be Prepared for Severe Weather

(Family Features) Thousands of people are impacted by severe weather threats every year, yet many are unprepared to handle Mother Natures wrath. Before storms strike, families should have an emergency supply kit on hand and a crisis plan in place. Create a Crisis Plan Busy families spend most of their days apart, at school, work, sports practices or other activities, so your family may not be together when disaster strikes. Before an emergency occurs, gather your family to make important decisions about what to do in the event of a crisis: Establish meeting places in your home, neighborhood and a nearby town. Discuss the best ways to communicate. Make sure to share cell phone numbers and email addresses with family members, school personnel and close neighbors. Schools, daycare providers, workplaces and apartment buildings should all have site-specific emergency plans that you and your family need to know about. Keep a copy in a readily-accessible location. One of the most difficult things to do in an emergency is establish communication between family members. The Link2Cell feature on select Panasonic telephones links up to two cell phones to the cordless telephone. This allows consumers to make and receive cell calls anywhere in the home, with or without a landline connection, and allows access to your address book even when your cell phone is out of reach. In your cell phone's address book, label the contact information for one person as ICE or In Case of Emergency. If you are in an accident, authorities are trained to check phones for an ICE listing. Keep Emergency Supplies On-Hand An emergency supply kit is made up of basic household items that become critical in a crisis. Essential supplies include: Each family member will need food, infant formula, pet food and water for three days. The average person needs one gallon of water per day for drinking and sanitation. Check your supplies every six months for expired food or water. Extra cash and copies of personal documents. A battery-powered or hand crack radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert are essential. Stock a small toolbox with a flashlight, extra batteries, wrench for turning off utilities, manual can opener, and whistle to signal help. A cordless telephone. Medications and measuring spoons for each family member. Dust masks, plastic sheeting and duct tape to create a safe room in a damaged home. Change of clothing for each family member, along with personal hygiene items, diapers and trash bags.

Fatherly Tips for Raising Healthy, Successful Kids

(Family Features) Everyone knows the classic love story. Man and woman fall in love, get married, have a baby and live happily ever after. However, real life isnt always the fairy tale. While todays version of the modern family has changed over time, the importance of parental involvement in childrens lives has not. However, one out of every three American children (about 24 million) lives in a home without their biological father. According to research by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University (or CASA), these children are more likely use drugs and experience educational, health, emotional and behavioral problems. Having both biological parents active in a childs life has proven to have a positive effect on both the childs social development and academic achievement, says Dr. Janet Taylor, an author and community psychiatrist in the New York City area who frequently counsels families. For kids, growing up in an environment where both parents are involved is important to their long-term development, health and well-being. Dr. Taylor provides the following advice for dads on how they can stay active in their childs life, even if they are not the primary caregiver. Share meals together: According research by CASA, children who share regular meals with their parents earn better grades in school than those who do not. Set a goal to share a meal with your child at least two days per week. Dinner doesnt have to be elaborate. The focus should be on communication. Plan fun activities: No matter where you go or how much money you spend, every moment spent with your child is a chance to create positive memories. Set aside time to celebrate your kids' accomplishments and special occasions. This will increase the childs confidence and encourage them to keep trying. Get involved at school: Fathers are a positive force in their children's education. According to a study by the National Center for Education Statistics, when fathers get involved in their childs education, the child is more likely to get good grades, enjoy school and participate in extracurricular activities. The absence of some men may be due to not fully knowing the paternity of the child. Paternity questions are actually more common than you think. In fact, a recent survey found that one in five Americans said that they, or a close friend or family member, have questioned paternity, adds Dr. Taylor. In these cases, the mother may choose to take on full responsibility, or the man may be reluctant to be a father to a child that hes not sure is his. Regardless, addressing paternity questions is the most responsible and caring decision for the child involved.

Help Your Pet Live a Long, Healthy Life

(Family Features) Pet parents do everything they can to ensure their dogs and cats are around as long as possible. Pets, much like humans, need a healthy diet and plenty of exercise to help them live a long and happy life. based on breed. Adequate exercise is an important step toward good health. Its also a great way to reduce such unwanted behaviors as chewing, digging, scratching or whining. To learn more about the importance of digestive health for your pet, visit www.HolisticSelect.com.

Good nutrition is key

There are many factors involved when it comes to choosing a pet food for your dog or cat. Keep in mind if your pets arent digesting the ingredients properly, nutrition is not being absorbed. Get maximum nutrition from every bite by purchasing a natural, high quality food with a digestive health support system. Ingredients to look for include: Probioticsor good bacteriahelp keep your pet's immune system healthy. Holistic Select contains live probiotics that are added to the food after it has been cooked and cooled. This process assures maximum survival of the probiotics, so that your pet reaps the full benefits of their food. Prebiotics stimulate the growth and maintenance of good bacteria, like probiotics, in your pet's digestive tract. Fiber plays an important role in human digestive health, and it also plays an integral role in your pet's digestive health. Look for foods with fiber-rich ingredients, such as oatmeal, flaxseed, pumpkin and papaya to promote digestive regularity. Digestive enzymes help your pet's body break down proteins, fiber and carbohydrates. This ensures your pet is getting the nutrients from their food, while reducing stress on their organs. This is especially crucial for aging pets.

Get pets moving every day

Dogs and cats used to have to work for a living. Many were bred to be mousers, hunters, herders or protectors. Most pets today have a much more sedentary lifestyle. They spend their days lying around, waiting for their human companions to come home and are rewarded for their patience with a big bowl of food. However, regular exercise supports healthy circulation of both nutrients and waste and is essential for a pet to have a happy and long life. Experts recommend cat owners plan a daily play session. Toys that mimic the actions of their natural prey birds, mice or bugs should get them up and moving. Dogs need to be walked for 20 to 30 minutes each day, while larger breeds often need much more. At your next veterinarian visit, ask if your pooch is healthy enough for an exercise program and ask for recommendations

Natures Healing Day Spa offers transformational experience

By Nikki Ackerman Staff Writer A full service spa, Natures Healing Day Spa operates with the mission of We bring out your inner beauty, and pain doesnt leave with you. When owner Helen De Pasquale opened her businesslocated at N88 W16838 Main St. in Menomonee Falls since 2011 (before that she worked out of Port Washington and West Bend)she did so with the vision of offering a one-stop shop for wellness. It is our deepest desire that upon your departure from Natures Healing you feel much better then when you arrived and that you have been totally pampered, she states on her website, www.natureshealingdayspa.com. De Pasquale is certified in skin care, including facials and nonsurgical facelifts, massages, body wraps, and manicures and pedicures. We do everything but hair, she said. Originally from the East Coast, the salon owner had to reinvent herself after 9/11. For 25 years she worked as an IT specialist and commuted from New Jersey to New York; however, after 9/11 her job was outsourced. After that happened, I went to school for massage and got my aesthetics license and I was off and running. I built this business from the ground up, she shared. In IT, everything was logic-based, but this is fun. People say I work too much, but I love it. And although she happily handles the surface aspects of beautification, De Pasquales true passion is for overall health and wellness. She does this through a variety of means, focusing mainly on the Mlis method which combines a detoxification program, healthy diet, contour body wraps and massages to not only assist an individual with weight loss, but also give the person a new lease on life as it aims to combat health woes and cleanse the system. If youre looking to really, truly take care of yourself, this is the way to go, De Pasquale said. Once you go through the process, you will feel great and energetic. You will no longer feel tired and sluggish. You cant put a price on your health. Massages offered at Natures Healing include relaxation, deep tissue, trigger point, lymphatic, post-mastectomy and those for pregnant women and the elderly. We offer massages of all kinds, she said. Everyone carries their stress differently, but theres no reason to hold onto pain. It does no good so let it go. Natures Healing also features couples massages, and those interested in making an event of it can enjoy a Spa Party, which gives groups a half-hour massage, a half-hour facial and a pedicure (with an optional discounted manicure) all while eating snacks and sipping sparkling cider. Its so much fun, De Pasquale said. I recently had a group of ladies from Illinois come in and we had a blast. The business also sells a variety of organic and vegan skin and cosmetic products and will soon be getting its fall line. Free paraffin wax is included with every visit. Business hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday through Sunday. To make an appointment, call (262) 293-3251.

Five Wholesome Snacks for Families On-the-Go

(Family Features) A busy family schedule means theres less time to gather around the dinner table each night, let alone ensure everyone in the family is getting the nutrients they need to live healthy. And what convenience foods offer in terms of portability, they often lack in vitamins and nutrients. Here are a few snack ideas to keep your family happy and healthy: Smoothies: While smoothies may not be the first thing that pops in your mind in terms of portability and convenience, with the right to-go cup, straw and lid, smoothies can be a great way to get some key nutrients en route. Pre-packaged smoothies, however, often contain a great deal of sugar. Ensure your family reaps the benefits of a fruit smoothie by whipping up a batch using all-natural ingredients and freezing them for later. Be sure to store blended smoothies in freezer-safe or airtight containers in the freezer, and allow for one to two hours of defrost time before grabbing them and heading for the door. Whole Food Bars: Just because youre short on time, doesnt mean you cant work wholesome foods in convenient, pocket or purse-sized portions into your diet. But make sure to check the labels when you grab a quick snack. For more information on a healthy bar option, visit www.goodnnaturalbar.com. Apple Chips: Simply cut apples into about 1/8-inch thick slices, add a pinch of cinnamon, and place them in the oven at 200 degrees for roughly two hours. Youll end up with tasty, wholesome apple chips you can store in sealed sandwich bags for up to three days. Toss them in a backpack, your purse, or leave them in the car for snacking on-the-go. Edamame: While soybeans might not be something you regularly prepare, theyre actually simple to cook, can be modified using different seasonings and easily eaten on-the-go. The night before a busy day, simply add 1 teaspoon of salt to a large pot of water, bring to a boil and add the edamame. Cook between 4 to 5 minutes for frozen edamame, 5 to 6 minutes for fresh. Drain, then add your favorite seasoning and store in a zip-top bag or storage container in the refrigerator until you head out the door. Homemade Trail Mix: For a shelf-stable snack thats perfect for storing in the car, at the office, or in your purse, consider mixing up your favorite dry food snack items such as popcorn, almonds, peanuts, dried cranberries, raisins, banana chips and more. Keep snacks readily available in your kitchen, such as in a basket on the counter or portioned out in a shelf within the refrigerator to ensure your family will choose wholesome foods over convenient, less-healthy snacks. With a little planning and preparation, your ensuring everyone gets the nutrients they need.

Car Care 101: Maintenance Tips to Keep Your Car Running Longer
(Family Features) Getting you to and from work every day and transporting your family to after-school activities and far-off destinations are just a few of the things we rely on our automobiles to do for us. To prolong the life of your vehicle, it is important to provide the basic routine care it requires. Though automobiles are a complex system of interconnected parts, basic car maintenance doesnt have to be complicated. Here are some simple tips to keep your car running longer and more efficiently: Be Mindful of Brakes: Allowing you the very important ability to stop your vehicle, the maintenance of brakes is vital. Have them checked annually by a professional and be aware of the signs of wear including delayed response when pushing on your brake pedal, the brake light appearing on your dashboard or any high-pitched squeal or harsh grinding sounds. Change Oil Often: Oil is the lifeblood that keeps key engine components in good working condition by reducing friction and wear. Change your oil about every three months, or check your owners manual for the manufacturers recommended oil change intervals. This will ensure you are doing your part to maintain the frequency of oil changes your car needs. Always be sure to check for proper oil levels when preparing for any long trip you may be planning. Use Engine Treatment: To reduce wear and extend engine life, use an engine treatment, such as Synergyn XtrA MPG anti-friction formula. This added lubrication can keep your engine running smoother, providing greater wear protection than oil alone and extends the life of your car's engine. Change Power Steering Fluid: This part of your vehicle helps you to steer with minimal effort. Be sure to have the power steering fluid changed every 50,000 miles or three years. If your fluid level is low, you may have a leak which will need to be reviewed by a mechanic. Replace Engine Coolant: In order to keep your engine running efficiently, engine coolant removes excess heat. Depending on the type you purchase, most antifreeze or engine coolants can last from 30,000-50,000 miles, or about three years. You can check your engines level by locating the plastic coolant reservoir under your hood. Replace Air Filter: The air filter prevents airborne contaminants from being pulled into your car's engine. Because wear is dependent on amount of driving, regular highway drivers should have their air filters replaced about every 15,000 miles to improve fuel economy, emissions and performance. Another way to improve fuel economy is by using an engine treatment product. Maintain Tire Pressure: Having the right amount of pressure in your tires can prevent poor mileage, tire blowouts or uneven wear. Because a change in temperature can dramatically impact tire pressure, it is important to check tire pressure with extreme weather changes, or to be on the safe side, every couple months. Rotate Your Tires: To keep the amount of wear on tread even, minimize vibration of wheels and prolong the performance of your tires, get your tires rotated regularly. Most professionals recommend a rotation around every 4,000 miles or when you go in for oil changes. For more information on improving fuel economy, reducing wear and extending the life of your car's engine, visit www.synergynusa.com.

The Best Way to See Clearly in Any Driving Condition

(NewsUSA)Is there really a difference between wiper blades? When is it necessary to change my wipers? As the wet seasons approach, it's important to ask yourself these questions as heavy rains and increasingly severe weather can obscure driving visibility. In fact, the American Optometric Association reports that 90 percent of all driving decisions are based on visibility. Having a properly installed set of wiper blades will enhance your vision during difficult driving conditions. Most drivers don't even realize they need new wipers until that moment of truth, as a storm approaches or heavy snow begins to fall. To avoid this, check your wipers once a month for worn or split rubber that can cause streaking or chattering. TRICO, an authority in the wiper blades industry, encourages consumers to "change your clocks, change your blades" and make replacing wipers part of your typical fall and spring routine maintenance during daylight saving time. Finding the right-sized blades can seem difficult. The "Find Your Wiper" feature on wiperblades.com offers a quick solution by letting drivers select their vehicle's make, model and year to display a full selection of wiper blade options. You may find that several different wiper blades fit your car, and then ask yourself, "Does it really matter which one I use?" The difference between a conventional style and the newer, premium beam design is important to keep in mind. A conventional blade design features a steel superstructure with blade claws, a rubber wiping element and several connection points. The beam blade design is the latest advancement in wiper technology that offers even pressure and enhanced clarity in all conditions. Although the beam blade is considered an all-season wiper, you may want to consider a winter weather blade that is equipped with superior armors and synthetic blended materials. TRICO invented the winter blade in 1953 and has recently perfected it with TRICO Ice. This wiper blade is a great option for providing maximum performance in the most unrelentingly harsh conditions. Of course, one of the most frustrating parts of buying wiper blades is installation. Thankfully, wiperblades.com has helpful installation videos to help you avoid the struggle and make the process as quick and easy as it should be. No matter where you live, unpredictable and harsh weather will affect driving visibility, so be ready with a reliable, quality set of wiper blades when the time comes. Get more tips on how to keep yourself and other drivers safe at wiperblades.com.
