The Future of the Paralegal Profession: Where Are We Headed?

By Dana Jones, ACP

W

Martinez-

hen people think

of paralegals, they picture a person in a law office working for an attorney. Even those in our own profession have the same image come to mind. However, there is more to a paralegal career than just working at a law firm—there are several ways to utilize your paralegal degree, certification, and experience. To borrow an old expression, you just have to think outside the box or, in this case, the law office. Did you know that there are a plethora of alternative paralegal career options that can give you an even more rewarding career path given your personality and other skills? Were you aware that there is legislation in some states for non-lawyers to provide limited legal services? With this knowledge, there is a way to get out there and explore all your options. According to the U.S. Dept. of Labor’s Bureau of Labor & Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook, the employment of paralegals and legal assistants is projected to grow 17% from 2012 to 2022. The handbook states that this is faster than the average for all other occupations.[1] The definition of “paralegal” can vary from website to website, but also from State to State. Nationally, the American Bar Association (ABA) defines it as “a person, qualified by education, training or work experience who is employed or retained by a lawyer, law office, corporation, governmental agency or other entity and who performs specifically delegated substantive legal work for which a lawyer is responsible.” Two national paralegal associations, the National Federation of Paralegal Associations (NFPA) and National Association of Legal Assistants/Paralegals (NALA) have a similar definition to that of the ABA. But, consider Google’s definition of “paralegal”: “noun 1. a person trained in subsidiary legal matters, but not fully qualified as a lawyer. Adjective 1. of or relating to auxiliary aspects of the law.” Under the definitions provided by the ABA, a paralegal not working directly under the supervision of an attorney could find her/himself potentially accused of the unauthorized practice of law (UPL). Is there a future for paralegals wherein they can use their skills and not be accused of UPL? There is always a need for pro bono work, by both attorneys

and paralegals. There is also a need for access to justice for every citizen of our country. Today, more than ever, there is a growing need to “close the justice gap” for access to this justice and for representation. The rich can usually afford attorneys and the poor are provided opportunity for justice through pro bono services; but what of those who fall into the low- and moderate-income category? This is quite a need that really must be filled. By last count, roughly 12 different states are exploring, or have already instituted, programs to answer this question, to fill this need, by offering affordable legal access to help meet the needs of those unable to afford the services of a lawyer. One such program has already begun. In Washington State, Admission to Practice Rule (APR) 28 (Washington Supreme Court Order #25700-A-1005) was adopted in June 2012. Washington is being watched closely by the nation, but other states are ready to emulate this idea to offset the staggering statistics regarding access to legal services. According to “a 2003 Civil Legal Needs Study, nearly 88 percent of low income” individuals in the State of Washington are not able to afford to utilize an attorney and end up handling their issues on their own—with some detrimental results. Therefore, APR 28 was adopted and put in place to “provide a regulatory framework for educated and experienced paralegals to obtain a limited license to practice law in approved practice areas.”[2] The Supreme Court of Washington adopted the Limited Legal Technician Rule which allows regulation and education for paralegals to practice law (albeit very limited) in the areas approved by the Court. This allows paralegals to use their skills to provide services in the area of “family law, housing, consumer law, and other basic needs.” The Court is certainly aware of the necessity to protect the public, but the public has a definite need for access to the legal system. Under APR 28, specific qualifications and education are laid out before an LLLT license can be attained after ensuring the paralegal for this field has been vetted by several criteria such as: (1) a minimum associate level degree, (2) 45 credit hours of core curriculum in legal studies from an ABA approved program, and (3) attended practice area courses developed by or in conjunction with an ABA approved law school. However, as stated, the

ability to practice is very narrow and limited to the following: • Informing clients of procedures and the course of legal proceedings, • Providing approved and lawyer prepared self-help materials, • Reviewing documents and exhibits from the opposing party and explaining them to clients, • Selecting, completing, filing, and serving approved and lawyer prepared forms and advising of their relevance, • Advising clients of necessary documents and explaining their relevance, and • Assisting clients in obtaining necessary documents. The WSBA established its LLLT Board “to hammer out the details about this new profession, including regulations for professional conduct, exam procedures, continuing education requirements, and disciplinary procedures.”[3] Interestingly, this idea has been tossed around since as early as the 1990s in states such as California (1990) and Oregon (1992).[4] In all, research has yielded over a dozen states interested in or implementing a program similar to WSBA’s LLLT, namely, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Utah, and Oregon. So what does that mean for paralegals? The courts and bars of the states referenced above have come to recognize the value paralegals bring to the legal system; thus the research in how to fully utilize “paralegals as part of efforts to close the access to justice gap in the United States.”[5] Paralegals have been highly valued by their attorneys for years and now are being recognized for the welltrained non-lawyers that they are. These forward-looking states, and some firms/attorneys, have come to see paralegals as an underutilized resource for helping the average citizen with their legal needs. The most recent state to imitate Washington’s “economically viable model” in an effort to “improve access” for all to the court system is the State of Utah. In December of 2015 it was announced that, “A new kind of paralegal is coming to help Utahns navigate the court system!” The Utah Supreme Court

approved a new legal profession entitled Limited Paralegal Practitioner: LPP.[6] This professional, similar to WA’s LLLT, is expected to have more training as well as added responsibilities over that of a “normal paralegal, but … not quite a lawyer.” Utah expects this LPP “to have either a law degree or an associate degree with a paralegal certificate.” They will also need to be experienced as a paralegals and “complete further courses in their practice area.” Further, they are limited in the services that they are allowed to provide to those in need. They are expected to help ease the burden of the courts by assisting clients with forms, providing representation in certain mediated areas, negotiations and help with settlements of legal issues. However, the line is drawn at the courtroom door since the LPP is not allowed to represent a client in the court. It is exciting to see the paralegal profession given the respect it has come to deserve. It has been jokingly asked, “Do you want to see the attorney, or the paralegal who does the real work?” All kidding aside, attorneys are vital to our legal system. It is these strong attorneys that have helped push for programs to help the public and utilize the valuable person(s) they already have in their offices. Attorneys offer great services and their paralegals have learned much under them. However, as is being acknowledged by many states, it is time for the paralegal profession to expand and become an avenue for all people to have full access to the justice system. It is time to re-think the role of the paralegal; time to utilize the knowledge, skills, and assessments so many experienced and practiced paralegals possess. While some state bars are reluctant to consider this untapped mine, the American Bar Association has addressed this new expansion of legal services. wIn 2014, Steve Crossland, an attorney in Cashmere, WA, plainly states that rather than see these new programs (LLLTs and LPPs) as a threat to an attorney or law firm’s practice, it should be seen as a golden opportunity to bring in business that, but for these new paraprofessionals, they would not otherwise have seen. Some firms in Washington

State are pushing to have their paralegals get licensed as LLLTs in order to expand their business. [7] The other states mentioned above are watching WA closely, as did Utah, and are poised to strike up their own versions. The forward-looking attorneys of those states also acknowledge that having paralegals willing to take on this advancement to their careers could mean more business for their firms. It would stand to reason that an entirely new client base would be reached. The common, ordinary citizen will be able to have their day in court without the need to pay the higher attorneys’ fees that must be charged. Rather than feel that attorneys are being threatened by the new paraprofessional role, many understand that if this section of the public were already availing themselves of an attorney’s services, there would be no need for consideration of the broadened role of the paralegal and programs such as the LLLT and LPP. With so much happening in the legal community, now is an exciting time to be a paralegal, a paraprofessional. The future looks bright! For those who work in states where these programs have yet to be considered, it could be awhile before your states’ Bar considers these programs, but one day something similar just might, nay, could happen.

The Summation Weekly To Improve the Economy, Close the Digital Divide

By Phyllis K. Pooley, director of special projects with OEDE. The “digital divide” is a term used to describe the gulf between those who have ready access to computers and the internet, and those who do not.
 Considered an important issue beginning in the 1990s, the digital divide arguably impacts many fundamental aspects of life in a modern society, including economic equality, social mobility and economic growth. In a global society an individual must be able to connect in order to

function effectively in many occupations, acquire skills sets necessary for these occupations, access educational opportunities, access government services and in general broaden their knowledge of the world beyond their own door step. The U.S. Census Bureau only recently started asking people about their ownership of computers in

Trails, Greenways Offers Economic, Health Benefits to Communities

By Dr. Kal Chakraborty, economist with the UWF Haas Center A study by the Outdoor Industry Association found the U.S. outdoor recreation sector as a whole generates $643 billion in direct spending, directly provides for 6.1 million jobs and accounts for $80 billion in tax revenues. When the indirect and induced impacts of this spending are considered, the total impact is much larger. The annual growth rate for the recreation sector between 2006 and 2011 is 5 percent. Mountain biking as a recreational activity has become one of the most popular outdoor activities in the U.S. According to the study, cycling alone contributes $133 billion annually to the U.S. economy. It supports 1.1 million jobs and generates $18 billion tax revenue and $50 billion in non-cycling businesses, such as dining, lodging, clothing and entertainment. Many of the mountain biking destinations in rural and urban communities are also rich in natural resources. For example, biking trails and greenways in Pensacola and the Panama City corridor in Northwest Florida have rich landscapes, waterways, parks and cultural history. Communities along the trail can experience growth in bike tourism and increased economic activity by providing a bike-friendly environment and connecting trails to the local shops, restaurants and attractions. As noted by the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, “Trails add value to our lives in so many ways – increasing our mobility, improving our health, spurring economic development and job creation, protecting our environment, and creating powerful connection within, to and

Community their home. Questions about the presence of computers, types of computers and Internet subscriptions were added to the 2013 and 2014 American Community Survey. The questions asked about ownership and use of all types of computers, including smart phones, and about various types of Internet access including dial up, DSL, cable modem and mobile broadband. The one-year estimates produced in 2013 and 2014 contain significant margins of error for smaller geographies, but still reveal some interesting facts about the Pensacola area and the nation as a whole.
 Source: 2014 American Community Survey One-Year Estimate The first bit of news for Pensacola is good. The area has a higher level of both computer ownership and internet connectivity than does the nation as a whole. It may seem that household ownership levels should

be higher, given how long personal computing has been in existence and with the rise of social media, but interestingly enough the ACS also reports 3 percent of Pensacola households do not even have a telephone. Next, the data from the ACS on computing is also available for various demographic characteristics

across communities.” Economists measure the benefits of trails and greenways using two approaches: market approach and non-market approach. The market approach measures the economic impact of direct, indirect and induced expenditures associated from biking/hiking activities and increased property values as the property owners recognize the recreational opportunities that come with the property.
 Sources: (1) U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 2011 (2) ACS 2009–2011 (3) NHTS 2009. These economic impacts are measured in terms of jobs, revenues for the business and taxes for local governments. Depending on the scope of these studies (statewide or local/ regional) the dollar amount of impacts varies significantly. For example, an impact study for biking trails in Orange County, Florida, found that the industry generated $42.5 million sales and output, $10 million in personal income and 516 jobs.

In order to estimate the price premium on property values close to the trails and greenways, economists use hedonic pricing models. These statistical models compare the price of homes similar in size, number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, age, and other factors, except the homes’ distance from trails. When the price differences are calculated over hundreds of homes, research-

within the region. The data covers topics such as ownership by educational attainment and employment status. Data for the percentage of those who do not possess computers or internet connections by different characteristics is shown in the following tables.
 It is this data that begins to reflect the differing levels of accessibility to home-based computing within Pensacola. The tables show that one in four households headed by someone with less than a high school education is without a computer as compared to one in 40 households headed by college educated individuals. Computers are present in over 14 of every 15 households headed by a white householder, while only 13 out of every 15 black households have a computer. Only slightly over half of households with incomes less than $20,000 per year have access to the internet. In the United States, the digital divide was first looked at as a rural versus urban phenomenon. As the use of computers grew, the focus was on the gap between those with access to high-speed connections and those without. Now, in looking at the initial data from the ACS, the divide may now be one based solely on household income level (which is a factor most often influenced by education, employment and, sadly enough, race or gender). There is some hope for improvements in this area as the federal Lifeline program, which has provided discounted telephone service since 1985, was recently revised to begin allowing for increased smart phone availability. Because the margins of error are so high with one-year estimates, no firm conclusions can be drawn for Pensacola as yet. Better information will be available once the Census Bureau can produce fiveyear estimates based upon these questions. This and knowing the effect revised Lifeline service changes have on the data will help define the extent of the problem more accurately.

ers are able to estimate the average price premium for homes near trails. For example, the study for Dakota and Ramsey counties in Minnesota found that a 10 percent increase in urban tree cover within 100 meters from the property increases the average home price $1,371. When tree cover is within 250 meters, the sale price increases price by $836. The non-market value is the intangible economic value or benefits accrued to a recreationist from recreational activities such as biking, hiking or bird-watching. The economic value is measured by consumer surplus, the difference between the opportunity cost of participating in a recreational activity and the recreationist’s willingness to pay for enjoying such benefits.
 Economists use surveys to collect data from the recreationists and apply sophisticated econometric models to determine the dollar value of a biking trip along the trail, features along the trail, and all biking/hiking trails and the greenways located in the area/park. For example, one study estimating the economic value of mountain biking in Moab, Utah, found the economic benefit per person per trip was $585, and the total use value from mountain biking for all six biking trails in Moab was $1.33 million. Trails can bring great benefits to residents by providing opportunities for social connections and a safe place for recreation, physical activity and commuting. Researchers have found that levels of diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity are all lower in cities that have high shares of commuters bicycling and walking to work. A National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences study conducted in 11 upper Midwestern cities found that if half of short trips (less than five miles) were made by bicycle, the result would prevent 1,295 deaths from the above illnesses and would lower health care costs by $3.8 billion per year.

Florida Department of Transportation Awards $44.4 Million

for Bicycle and Pedestrian Trail Expansion in Florida The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) announced today the selection of the first year of projects to receive funding under the Shared Use Nonmotorized (SUN) Trail program. A total of $44,434,543 million was awarded to 45 separate projects located across 21 counties throughout Florida. The projects include the construction of 11 separate trail segments, which will add or improve approximately 20 miles of trail to Florida’s trail system. Another 34 projects will be in various preconstruction phases of work such as feasibility study, environmental review and design. The funds are for the current fiscal year (2016-17) and are immediately available to begin work. Governor Scott said, “Florida is proud to be an outdoors state, and our many incredible bicycle, pedestrian and multiuse trails are great activities for Floridians and visitors to enjoy. I am proud to join FDOT in celebrating this investment today as we work to provide more safe recreational opportunities for families across our state.” All of the selected projects are in the identified SUN Trail network, which consists of the developing statewide system of paved multi-use trails for bicyclists and pedestrians, physically separated from vehicular traffic. FDOT Secretary Jim Boxold said, “This initial SUN Trail funding will provide safer opportunities for bicyclists and pedestrians, advance the completion of the state trail system and enhance the state’s partnership with local communities throughout Florida.” Twenty-two of the funded projects help to advance two major regional trails systems selected as priorities by the Florida Greenways and Trails Council. Five of these are part of the Coast to Coast Connector, a 250-mile trail system linking the Gulf and Atlantic coasts through Central Florida, and 17 are part of the St. Johns River Sea Loop, a 270-mile trail system that will link together several communities including St. Augustine, Daytona Beach, Titusville, DeLand and Palatka. 23 projects are for individual trail segments throughout the rest of the state. The SUN Trail Program was established during the 2015 legislative session. More information about the program can be found at floridasuntrail.com.

Studer Properties Announces Name for Downtown Apartments

Florida Department of Transportation Awards $44.4 Million for Bicycle and Pedestrian Trail Expansion in Florida

After much anticipation, the new Studer apartments in Downtown Pensacola have a name. “We are excited to have a name for the apartments,” says Andrew Rothfeder, President of Studer Properties. “We are grateful for the help of our community and we are thankful for such great support.” Studer Properties hosted a month long naming contest to get to this point. For two weeks, members of the public submitted name ideas for the project. That effort yielded 682 entries, with many focused on Pensacola’s history, the site of the apartments as a former newspaper building, and the surrounding streets and neighborhoods. The Studer Properties team filtered through all 682 suggested names and narrowed them down to a short-list of 12, which were then part of a midSeptember “primary election” voted on by the 336 people who have reserved

an apartment to date. From the primary election, a list of six candidates moved forward to a “general election,” where the final name was chosen, “Southtowne.” Of the six finalists in the naming contest, several of them referred to the area’s history. Three names, Block 25, City Tract 25, and Durnford Square, referred to early city plans. Elias Durnford was one of the first city planners to plat out the downtown area. The intersection where the apartments will be located was referred to as Block 25 or City Tract 25 in early city maps. Another name, First City Center, alluded to Pensacola’s history as the first European settlement in America. Finally, two other names, The Q and Southtowne, referred to Quint and Rishy Studer, and the apartments being a neighborhood in the south of Pensacola’s downtown area, respectively. “We’ve said for months

that we aren’t just building an apartment building, but that we’re building an entire downtown live-work-play area,” says Rothfeder. “So as we saw the Southtowne name rise to the top, we felt like it really resonated as the anchor for this downtown neighborhood and our future tenants agreed.” Once the decision was made, the last piece of the puzzle was to deliver the promised “prize” for the winning name - a $250 gift certificate to any Studer-owned business. But even that task proved to be a challenge. The person who submitted “Southtowne” as a name worked at one of the Studers’ other businesses, so she was ineligible for the prize. The fallback? A random drawing for one lucky name

submission. That winner? Lauryn Adams. But the winning isn’t over. Rothfeder said that the Studer Properties team liked so many of the names suggested that they are looking to incorporate those into various elements of the apartment building itself. “We’ve had a lot of fun with this naming contest, and it has certainly kept us on our toes,” says Rothfeder. “As you can see, progress is coming along on the apartment site, and we look forward to having people start to move into these apartments next summer.” For more information on Studer Properties or to be added to the reservation list for Southtowne check them out on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

an outdoors state, and our many incredible bicycle, pedestrian and multi-use trails are great activities for Floridians and visitors to enjoy. I am proud to join FDOT in celebrating this investment today as we work to provide more safe recreational opportunities for families across our

state.” All of the selected projects are in the identified SUN Trail network, which consists of the developing statewide system of paved multi-use trails for bicyclists and pedestrians, physically separated from vehicular traffic. FDOT Secretary Jim Boxold said, “This initial SUN Trail funding will provide safer opportunities for bicyclists and pedestrians,

advance the completion of the state trail system and enhance the state’s partnership with local communities throughout Florida.” Twenty-two of the funded projects help to advance two major regional trails systems selected as priorities by the Florida Greenways and Trails Council. Five of these are part of the Coast to Coast Connector, a 250-mile trail system linking the Gulf and Atlantic coasts through Central Florida, and 17 are part of the St. Johns River Sea Loop, a 270-mile trail system that will link together several communities including St. Augustine, Daytona Beach, Titusville, DeLand and Palatka. 23 projects are for individual trail segments throughout the rest of the state. The SUN Trail Program was established during the 2015 legislative session. More information about the program can be found at floridasuntrail. com.

call Bridget Roberts at 433-1166, ext. 25 RUBIO, MURPHY CLASH IN SENATE DEBATE By JIM TURNER THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA As he was pressed Monday night during a heated, hour-long debate with Democratic challenger Patrick Murphy, Republican U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio said he won’t abandon his office for a presidential run in 2020 if re-elected this year. Appearing on stage together for the first time, with more than 500,000 votes already cast by mail, the Senate candidates clashed over their parties’ presidential nominees, Rubio’s Senate attendance record, allegations that Murphy has embellished his resume and near party-line views on gun control, immigration, the Affordable Care Act, climate change and Cuba. The more politically polished Rubio highlighted his accomplishments as Florida House speaker and as a member of the U.S. Senate and contrasted that with Murphy’s lack of signed legislation despite a reputation as being a moderate member of the U.S. House. Rubio also said that “God willing” he would serve all six years if re-elected, something Democrats and Murphy have been hitting the incumbent on as they assert he is using the reelection bid to bolster future White House ambitions. When pressed by ABC chief White House correspondent Jonathan Karl, the moderator of the debate, Rubio replied, “I’m going to serve in the Senate for the next six years. God willing.” “I’m going to be a senator for the state of Florida for the next six years on behalf of the state of Flor-

ida,” Rubio continued as Karl sought a more direct response. “You can’t be senator and president at the same time.” Rubio’s comment appeared to have caught Murphy off guard, as a few moments later the Democrat rattled off that Rubio still hadn’t vowed to “commit to serving a full term,” as he responded to a question about his own business career. Rubio, who was criticized as being robotic during his failed presidential run after repeating a debateprep line four times at one event, snapped back Monday, saying, “that’s a line he practiced before I said what I actually said today.” Rubio and Murphy sparred about their parties’ presidential nominees for nearly 15 minutes to open the debate, a topic they would re-address throughout the event, held at the University of Central Florida’s Fairwinds Alumni Center. Murphy, a two-term congressman from Jupiter trying to make up a gap in polls that has existed since Rubio jumped into the contest in June, took aim during his opening statement at Rubio’s endorsement of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Murphy noted that Rubio continues to back the GOP presidential candidate despite having called him a “con man” whom he doesn’t trust with the nuclear codes and despite derogatory comments by Trump about women, Mexicans, disabled people and veterans. “If you can’t stand up to Donald Trump as a candi-

date, how in the world are you going to stand up to him as the president of the United States?” Murphy asked. “This is about what he’s done. Think of how unqualified he is. Just a couple of weeks (ago) it came out that he’s violated the (Cuba) embargo, something that I know you care a lot about. And you still stand by his side.” Rubio, repeated a line he rolled out prior to the debate, that neither presidential candidate is inspirational. And that while he disagrees with a lot that Trump says and does, Rubio said he disagrees with everything from Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. “I don’t trust either one of them, and the job of a U.S. senator is not to blindly follow the president because they happen to be from your own party,” Rubio said. When Murphy asked Rubio if there was anything Trump could do that would cause him to rethink his endorsement, the incumbent shot back, “Of course, like a lot of the things that Hillary Clinton stands for and does.” Before the debate, unaffiliated Senate candidate Steven Machat said he was unsuccessful in getting a state judge to open the debate to himself and four others on the ballot. Also, candidate Tony Khoury, who along with three other independents on the ballot had sued to be included in the event, held his own protest at the Fairwinds Alumni Center. The next debate is set for Oct. 26 at Broward College.

DEMOCRATS, INDEPENDENTS HAVE EDGE IN SEPTEMBER REGISTRATION By JIM TURNER THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA More Floridians registered as Democrats or independents than as Republicans last month, the state Division of Elections reported Monday with a day remaining to sign up to vote in the Nov. 8 elections. Meanwhile, Democrats also surpassed --albeit slightly --- Republicans in returning vote-by-mail ballots, an area that in the past has been a hallmark of GOP get-out-the-vote efforts in Florida. A final count of registered voters for the general election is due by the end of October, said Meredith Beatrice, a spokeswoman for the Florida Department of State, which includes the Division of Elections. The registration deadline is 5 p.m. Tuesday. The monthly voter-registration report for September showed Democrats had a net increase of 67,546 registered voters during the month, pushing their overall number of registered voters to 4,800,905. In the same time, Republicans added 41,873, putting their registered-voter count at 4,500,960. Meanwhile, people declining to check membership in any political party while registering grew by 63,242 in September. There are now 3,012,910 registered independents in Florida.

Democrats currently make up just under 38 percent of Florida’s registered voters. Republicans account for slightly more than 35.5 percent, while independents are about 24 percent. Four years ago, those percentages were 40 percent for Democrats, 35 percent for Republicans, and 21 percent for independents. Minor-party voters collectively grew by 3,341 in September, to 340,511, making up more than 2 percent of the overall registered voters. Republicans have pointed to a long-term closing of the registration gap with the Democratic Party, which has traditionally outnumbered the GOP. University of Florida political-science professor Daniel Smith, who specializes in voterregistration issues, said the closing of the gap during the past few years is more of a reflection of voters being removed from the election rolls, which can be due to inactivity, death, leaving the state or even changing affiliations. Since January 2013, approximately 515,000 Democrats and 436,000 Republicans have been taken off the voter rolls. Meanwhile, Smith noted that in the same time Democrats have registered 80,000 more new voters than the GOP. Also, Smith noted that of the various methods for people to register to vote, third-party groups --- mostly progressive advocacy

groups --- accounted for 40 percent of the new registrations in the state’s September report. “These groups cannot say you have to register with one party or another, but we know at the operational level that it’s less likely to be Republican and more likely to be no-party voting and Democrat,” Smith said. The registration numbers come as more than 500,000 of the state’s 12.66 million voters have already cast vote-by-mail ballots. As of early Monday afternoon, Democrats had returned 210,734 of the ballots, Republicans 210,707. Historically, Republicans have outpaced their Democratic counterparts in vote-bymail, formerly known as absentee ballots, while early voting has tended to lean to the Democrats. Of the 1.87 million vote-by-mail ballots cast in the 2014 general election, 44.4 percent were from Republicans and 37.6 percent from Democrats. For this year’s contest, independent voters have returned 77,289 ballots, and 14,359 have come back from people with minor parties. Another 2.4 million vote-by-mail ballots that have been sent out by county supervisors of election have yet to be returned. Of those ballots, 981,771 have gone out to Republicans, 941,157 to Democrats, 446,413 to independents and 58,105 to minor party voters.

Family Features

hether you’re hosting a small weekend gettogether, a large holiday gathering or anything in between, entertaining friends and family will always provide an opportunity to create memories that last a lifetime. However, no host wants to miss out on the highlights because of an endless to-do list in the kitchen. With the right recipes and refreshments, it’s easy to throw a successful, enjoyable dinner party for both you and your guests. One way to take the guesswork out of meal planning is by starting with the wine you’re planning to serve and working backwards. Chardonnay is a favorite varietal of many wine lovers, and Edna Valley Vineyard has crafted award-winning, food-friendly Chardonnay from California’s central coast for more than 35 years. Featuring bright layers of white peach and apricot alongside notes of pineapple and brown spice, this white wine is a sure bet to complement a range of dishes and elevate any meal. One savory example that pairs perfectly with Chardonnay is Grilled Panzanella Salad – a quick and delicious dish that can serve a small group using a few basic ingredients and leftover bread. For a bright, decadent option that holds up well at room temperature, try a side of Orzo with Lemon, Brie and Toasted Pine Nuts. Last but not least, whip up this simple Chicken Thighs and Tomatoes recipe for a hearty entree to round out the meal and complement your wine selection. For more easy entertaining recipes and ideas, visit EdnaValleyVineyard.com.

Orzo with Lemon, Brie and Toasted Pine Nuts

Serves: 8 1 pound orzo pasta 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon, divided 1 tablespoon lemon zest 3 tablespoons lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic 1 wheel (10 ounces) Brie cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes 3/4 cup golden raisins 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts 1/4 cup fresh basil, chiffonade salt, to taste freshly ground black pepper, to taste Prepare pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil to prevent stick­ ing and allow to cool. In large bowl, toss pasta with remaining olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, Brie cubes, raisins, pine nuts and basil. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Garnish with addi­ tional basil, if desired.

Particularly during the busiest times of year, finding the right balance is crucial. With all the time spent on work and personal obligations, it is important to remember what matters most – family, friends and the things that make you happy. Here are three ways to prioritize your individual interests and live a life in balance: n Reconnect with loved ones regularly. Actively schedule quality time with family and friends. Set up a date with your significant other, have lunch to reconnect with a friend or invite a small group over for a glass of Chardonnay on the porch. n Do something you enjoy. Spending even a few minutes each day to appreciate something that brings you pleasure – whether it’s a good book, gardening or preparing a delicious meal, for example – is an important way to ensure your own interests fit into the balancing act called life. n Treat yourself. Get a pedicure or facial, schedule a massage or buy a new outfit. It doesn’t need to be costly; a simple glass of wine, cup of your favorite coffee or tea, scented candle or fragrant bouquet can make a big impact.
