Up the Mazy River People tend to get creative around Halloween. Take Tom Pearcy, owner of the York Maze, the largest maze of its kind in the U.K. According to the Association of Mature American Citizens, Tom grew a massive pumpkin this year. It weighs nearly 1,400 pounds and so he petitioned the folks who keep track of official world records at Guinness, not that he thought he could win the title for the biggest pumpkin ever grown. That belongs to a Belgian whose gourd

weighed in at 2,624.6 pounds. Tom sought the title for the biggest pumpkin boat. He scooped out his jack-o-lantern and turned it into a pumpkin boat. There is no standard record for a pumpkin boat, so Tom might be the first record holder for that category – if Guinness agrees to establish one.

Now Here’s a Tip By JoAnn Derson

• The holidays are almost upon us, and I am sure your calendar, like mine, is getting filled up with lunches, dinners, cookie parties, etc. Try to plan at least one non-eating event for every eating event on your calendar. Make a gym date, schedule a nature walk, get a group together to pick apples or do a craft. It will help you be social but cut down on the holiday weight creep.” -- JoAnn • “I have a raised bed and some very handy plastic underbed

drawers for seasonal items and bags. The problem is that they would not stay put when I opened them or especially when I tried to close them. I got smart, though, and added strips of non-skid shelf liner to the bottoms. They stay put where they are accessible and don’t slide back way under the bed.” -- A.A. in Florida • “Got gorgeous leaves? Try decoupaging a few to a clear glass votive for an extra special fall touch on your table. Add a deli-

cious smelling candle, and you’re in full fall celebration mode!” -C.L. in North Carolina • Wear and wash? Not necessarily. Before you toss that sweater or pair of corduroys in the wash, take the time to check if it’s actually soiled. Many garments can be reworn after airing rather than washing and drying, which takes a toll on the fabric, and your water and electric bills. (c) 2018 King Features Synd., Inc.

Honesty is the Best Policy Nebraska has a new campaign to attract tourists. It boasts print ads with headlines such as “Lucky for you there’s nothing to do here.” Yet another advertisement brags that the state is “Famous for our

flat, boring landscape,” according to the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC]. Noting that Nebraska is “the least likely state” when it comes to attracting tourists, State Tour-

ism Director John Ricks says “the new brand platform is defined by honesty. The overarching concept of honesty is rooted in a mindset that values transparency, purity and simplicity.”

Recipe of the Week

The Kitchen Diva By Angela Shelf Medearis

Add Some Pumpkin to Your Pasta Nothing so vividly illustrates the best of the fall harvest like pumpkins. Their bright orange color is a dead giveaway that pumpkin is loaded with an important antioxidant: beta-carotene. Betacarotene is one of the plant carotenoids converted to vitamin A in the body. In the conversion to vitamin A, beta carotene performs many important functions in overall health. To select a pumpkin, look for one with 1 to 2 inches of stem left. If the stem is cut down too far, the pumpkin will decay quickly or may be decaying at the time of purchase. Avoid pumpkins with blemishes and soft spots. It should be heavy, although shape is unimportant. A lopsided pumpkin is not necessarily a bad pumpkin. Figure one pound of raw, untrimmed pumpkin for each cup of finished pumpkin puree. To prepare the pumpkin for cooking, spread newspaper over your work surface. Start by carefully removing the stem with a sharp knife. If you are planning to roast the pumpkin seeds, smash or drop the pumpkin on a hard surface to break it open. In any case, remove the stem, scoop out the seeds and scrape away all of the stringy mass. A messy job, but it will pay off. You can cook the pumpkin by boiling, steaming, roasting or using the microwave to create your own fresh pumpkin puree. Directions for cooking and preparing pumpkin puree are as follows: Boiling/Steaming Method: Cut the pumpkin into rather large chunks. Rinse in cold water. Place pieces in a large pot with about a

cup of water (water does not need to cover the pumpkin pieces). Cover the pot and boil for 20 to 30 minutes or until tender, or steam for 10 to 12 minutes. Check for doneness by poking with a fork. Drain the cooked pumpkin in a colander. Reserve the liquid to use as a base for soup. Oven Method: Cut pumpkin in half, scraping away stringy mass and seeds. Rinse under cold water. Place pumpkin, cut side down, on a large cookie sheet. Bake at 350 F for one hour or until fork tender. Microwave Method: Cut pumpkin in half, place cut side down on a microwave-safe plate or tray. Microwave on high for 15 minutes, then check for doneness at 1 to 2 minute intervals until fork tender. Preparing the Puree: Allow cooked pumpkin to cool. Remove the peel using a small sharp knife and your fingers. Place pumpkin in a food processor and puree or alternately use a food mill, ricer, strainer or potato masher. Freeze and store in 1 cup portions in a small freezer bag for up to one year. Don’t have time to process a fresh pumpkin? There are several delicious varieties of organic canned puree available. You can add pumpkin puree to everything from stirring it into hot breakfast cereals, smoothies and sauces to savory dishes and desserts. Either fresh or organic canned puree works beautifully in my recipe for Cheesy Ravioli With Pumpkin Sauce. CHEESY RAVIOLI WITH PUMPKIN SAUCE • 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons salt (for pasta water and seasoning) • 2 pounds cheese ravioli • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus 1 teaspoon olive oil

Photo by Depositphotos

• 1 yellow onion, chopped • 4 garlic cloves, peeled & minced • 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes • 1 1/2 cups fresh puree or 1 (15-ounce) can organic pumpkin puree • 1 quart vegetable or chicken broth • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon or ground nutmeg • 1 cup Italian flavored or bread crumbs • 1/2 cup Parmesan or Monterey Jack cheese, shredded • 7 basil leaves, torn (optional) • 7 sage leaves, fried in olive oil until crisp (optional) 1. Heat oven to 400 F. Place a large pot of salted water over high heat to boil. When water is boiling, add 1 tablespoon of the salt and drop in the ravioli. Cook according to package directions. Drain cooked ravioli and return it to the pot. 2. Meanwhile, add the 2 tablespoons of the olive oil to a microwave-safe bowl with the onions and garlic. Cook on high for 2 to 3 minutes until the onions soften. Add the onion mixture to the ravioli. Season with 1 teaspoon of

the salt, 1 teaspoon of the Italian seasoning, black pepper and red pepper flakes. 3. In a medium bowl, mix the pumpkin and broth, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, the remaining Italian seasoning and the cinnamon or nutmeg together to make a sauce. Toss 1/2 of the pumpkin sauce with the pasta until it is well-coated. Transfer ravioli to a casserole dish. 4. Spoon the remaining pumpkin sauce on top of the pasta. Sprinkle with the panko breadcrumbs and the remaining teaspoon of olive oil. Cover with cheese. 5. Bake until cheese is melted, about 8 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the basil leaves and fried sage leaves, if desired. Angela Shelf Medearis is an awardwinning children’s author, culinary historian and the author of seven cookbooks.

Beadnose the bear.

It was Fat Bear Week at Alaska’s Katmai National Park and Beadnose was the people’s choice for this year’s fattest bear competition, reports the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC]. The park posted pictures of 12 bears to choose from on its Web site and, Beadnose, whose estimated weight was figured to be 409 pounds, took the honors. The park put it this way when describing why Beadnose was selected:

“Her radiant rolls were deemed by the voting public to be this year’s most fabulous flab.

“William Krisel’s Twin Palms” Exhibit on Display at the Palm Springs Public Library Recently the exhibit “William Krisel’s Twin Palms” was installed at the Palm Springs Public Library to be on display in the main library atrium until November 24, 2018. The public may view the exhibit during regular library hours. William Krisel was the architect that brought the Mid-Century Modernist aesthetic to tract housing in the Coachella Valley and sparked a population wave that continues to this day. This exhibit focuses on his work in Twin Palms—the first completed Modernist neighborhood in the region. “William Krisel’s Twin Palms” brings to life the innovations Krisel introduced and which have since become iconic landmarks of Desert Modernism. Eric Chiel, a Twin Palms resident, created the exhibit. Mr. Chiel notes that prior to Krisel, there was a smattering of

Modernist structures in the desert, and all were one-off designs that were prohibitively costly as residences for the middle class. “Krisel’s genius,” he says, “was in the many ways in which he created homes that appeared to be custom built and unique, but were actually tract homes that could be economically constructed without compromising quality. His innovations made homes available to the masses that were well designed, attractive, practical for desert living, and which retain their appeal 60 years later.” The exhibit is currently comprised of five narrative-andgraphics panels, two display cases of artifacts and ephemera, and a “street” of detailed, scale-model homes, each depicting one of the four original designs for Twin Palms residences. Mr. Chiel conceived and developed the exhibit

and wrote the panel texts. Local art director Stuart Funk was the graphic designer. Contemporary photography was provided by David A. Lee, Clark Dugger, and James Schnepf. Historical graphics were provided by the Getty Research Institute (curator of the William Krisel archives), and The Huntington Library. Production of the exhibit was funded entirely by the Twin Palms Neighborhood Organization and through sup-

plemental donations from some of its individual members. A campaign to secure additional funding will be launched to finance the cost of producing additional panels, a video kiosk, and other enhancements. The Palm Springs Public Library is located at 300 S. Sunrise Way in Palm Springs. For more information palmspringslibrary.org.

SALOME’S STARS WEEK OF NOVEMBER 5, 2018 BORN THIS WEEK: You are an exceptionally loyal person, and you’re respected for your ability to keep the secrets entrusted to you. ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You enjoy the attention early in the week, but it might be a good idea to opt for some privacy by week’s end so that you can have more time to consider an upcoming decision. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You unearth some surprising facts. Now you need to consider how to use them to your advantage. Meanwhile, it might be best to keep what you’ve learned secret for now. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A comment by a colleague piques your curiosity to know more. Best advice: You’ll find people more likely to offer information if you’re discreet when making your inquiries. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your energy levels begin to rise by midweek. This allows you to catch up with your heavy workload and still have plenty of get-up-and-go to go out on the town this weekend. LEO (July 23 to August 22) You’re probably roaring your head off about a perceived slight from a longtime critic. Ignore it. That person might just be trying to goad you into doing something you might later regret. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) The early part of the week is open to spontaneity. Then it’s time to settle into your usual routine to get all your tasks done. A personal situation could require more attention from you. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A meeting of the minds on a workplace project might well develop into something more personal for Librans looking for romance. Aspects also are favorable for platonic relationships. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A more-positive mood might be difficult to assume in light of a recent problem involving the health of someone special. But by week’s end, your emotional barometer should start to rise. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Look for a changed attitude from a former adversary once he or she realizes you have your colleagues’ full support. Now you can refocus your energies on that workplace project. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) This time, a difference of opinion might not be resolved in your favor. But be patient. It could all ultimately work out to your advantage, as new information begins to develop. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A tug of war develops between the artistic Aquarian’s creative aspect and his or her practical side. Best advice: Prioritize your schedule so you can give appropriate time to both. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You could be entering a career phase awash with job-related demands. But avoid being swamped by the overflow and, instead, keep treading water as you deal with demands one by one. © 2018 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Senior News Line By Matilda Charles

The news is in. We now know how much our Social Security benefit will increase for 2019. It’s going to be a seemingly large 2.8 percent, the biggest since 2012. For the average person now receiving $1,422 per month, that means a $39 increase to $1,461 after the COLA kicks in, which is what the financial gurus have been predicting. Medicare Part B premium is going up from $134 per month to $135.50. If your individual income ranges from $85,000 to $107,000, your premium will be $189.60. There are a few other changes as well. Taxable earnings for those still working will go up from $128,400 annually to $132,900. For those who retire during the year, the maximum income exemption will rise from $45,360 to $46,920. The Senior Citizens League (seniorsleague.org) did a study with frustrating results. Since 2000, our benefits have gone up 46 percent, but our expenses have gone up 96 percent. Real estate taxes up 129 percent, heating oil up 181 percent, out-of-pocket drug costs up 188 percent. For every $100 worth of groceries we could buy in 2000, today we can only buy $66 in groceries. It’s no won-

der we don’t dance for joy when we get a Social Security benefit increase. We’re struggling to just keep up with rising costs. Something to be considered: There’s a significant difference between the Social Security benefit you get if you quit working at your full retirement age (depends on your year of birth) and if you wait until you’re 70 years old. If you’re still working now, you need to ask yourself if you want to keep working a few more years. Investigate thoroughly, because there are compelling reasons on both sides of the question.
