Pre-K Initiative At this time of year, parents are registering their four-year-olds for kindergarten in the fall.

They may be asking themselves “will my child be ready?” Answers to that question can be found in a one-page handout from the Long Island Pre-K Initiative. This free resource lists the top 20 skills that kindergarten teachers expect on the

first day of school. It can be downloaded from the grant-funded program’s website: www.nassauboces. org/pre-k, and is available in Spanish, Urdu, Turkish, Chinese and HaitianCreole, as well as in English.

“We surveyed more than 100 kindergarten teachers from 10 Long Island school districts,” says Lucinda Hurley, Executive

Director of the Nassau BOCES Department of Strategic Initiatives and administrator for the Long Island Pre-K Initiative. “And there was clear agreement. What educators call ‘socialemotional skills’ are very important.”

That means that kindergarteners should be able to share and take turns, express their feelings

in words and participate in a conversation without interrupting, among other abilities. It is difficult for learning to take place when children have difficulty getting along with each other - or can’t sit still long enough to listen to a story being read. Also on the list: pre-reading skills; everyday skills, such as using the bathroom by themselves; and being able to identify

numbers and colors.

The Long Island Pre-K Initiative survey was conducted in the spring of 2015. The teachers came from the following 10 school districts: Amityville, Franklin Square, Harborfields, Levittown, Long Beach, Middle Country, North Merrick, Valley Stream #13, Uniondale and Wyandanch. Some survey questions were based on an earlier survey of teachers in Westbury that was conducted by The Early Years Institute.

The Long Island Pre-K

Initiative is a grant-funded project that seeks to strengthen relationships between school districts and community-based organizations, and to share information about research, policy and best practices for early learning.

Administered by Nassau BOCES, it is supported by expertise from The Early Years Institute and funds from the Rauch and Hagedorn Foundations.

Its partners are the Eastern and Western Suffolk BOCES and the Child Care Councils of Nassau and Suffolk.

Proudly Delivering Strong Results Since 1953!

Suffolk County Community College’s Cheer Team placed third in the nation at the UCA & UDA College Cheerleading and Dance Team National Championships last weekend.

The competition, the most prestigious college cheerleading championship in the country, was held at the Walt Disney World® Resort’s ESPN Wide World

of Sports Complex from January 15th to 17th.

Suffolk was one of only two junior colleges competing among a total of 11 colleges and universities in the Open All-Girl Division.

“Our goal was to make it into finals at our first ever UCA Nationals,” said Head Cheer & Dance Coach Gina Caputo. “Being ranked 3rd in the nation went beyond our expectations. Now to work towards next year and

bring home the title!”

“We are very proud of the cheer team’s outstanding performance,” said Suffolk County Community College President Dr. Shaun L. McKay. “The College community congratulates our student athletes for this tremendous accomplishment and the recognition they have earned for the team and our college.”

Long Island Teens to Perform

Pope Francis summed up the Church’s commitment to education when he said, “Our generation will show that it can rise to the promise found in each young person…. This means that we have to create the material and spiritual conditions for their full development; to give them a solid basis on which to build their lives; to guarantee their safety and their education to be everything they can be…”

Today, the “material and spiritual conditions” the Pope referred to are embodied in 47 beautiful elementary schools here on Long Island. Each school provides the safety and nurturing atmosphere that assures children they matter, that they are loved, and all of the schools strive to work with every student to help them achieve all they are capable of achieving. Yet some parents who desire the extraordinary results of a Catholic education still hesitate because of concerns about costs.

Families who would like to consider a Catholic education are encouraged to visit a school during

schools. Business leader and philanthropist Lewis S. Ranieri was appointed

by Bishop Murphy to chair the foundation. As chairman, Mr. Ranieri put together a prominent board of professionals, business leaders and diocesan administration with the goal of raising money from individual and corporate donors and providing tuition assistance for deserving families and students.

Over the past ten years, the Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation has served the Long Island community by providing parents with the opportunity to choose the education that best fits the needs of their children without the worry of financial constraint.

With generous support from private and corporate donors, the Foundation has proudly served over 17,000 students, providing awards totaling nearly $20 million towards scholarships, and allowing them to attend one of Long Island’s 47 excellent Catholic elementary schools.

Tuition assistance through Tomorrow’s Hope is available to all families

who show a financial need, regardless of ethnicity or religious affiliation. Not surprisingly, the applicants for Tomorrow’s Hope assistance are from a variety of different backgrounds that represent the diversity of our Island. The common thread is a desire for an education of the whole child, in mind, body and spirit.

Tomorrow’s Hope supporters come from every walk of life, and they donate in a variety of ways; directly, where any amount large or small is appreciated, they donate through matching programs offered by their employers, and they bequeath portions of their estate to help fund Catholic education. The program that gets the most feedback, however, is the STAR Program. The Student Tuition Assistance Relationship (STAR) Program identifies students in high need of tuition assistance and matches them with a generous donor - a ‘STAR’ who contributes tuition assistance of $2,000 a year. Although tuition varies across the Diocese, this program is intended

to fund roughly half of the student’s tuition while the parent/guardian is asked to contribute the remainder.

The STAR donor-student relationship is a special one it consists of correspondence between the student and the donor throughout the school year. This relationship is unique in that the donor can see first-hand how their generous contribution directly helps their STAR student to thrive in Catholic elementary school.

The Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation orchestrates a number of charitable events during the course of each year including a Gala social event in the spring, a golf outing in the fall, and a holiday event around Christmas. This year, there will even be a new event, the St. Joseph 5K Fun Run for Tomorrow’s Hope, on March 19th.

Building on the success of their inaugural event last March where over 350 runners participated, the St Joseph School in Garden City announced that this year’s race will benefit Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation. Running on a 5K circuit through the

flat, fast, tree-lined streets of Garden City, the race will be professionally chip timed and is USA Track and Field Certified. Appropriate for both serious runners, and for those who just want to come out and have some fun while supporting this worthwhile cause, the event will offer a post race festival with a DJ, face painting, refreshments and age category awards for the 5K. There will also be a 1-mile untimed fun run to allow every child to finish. Every child in the fun run will receive a prize.

All ages and levels of fitness are welcome in this family friendly event. For more information or to register, go to www.sjspta.com/run. html or e-mail questions to run@sjspta.com.

If you are already a supporter of Tomorrow’s Hope, thank you! If you are interested in helping children develop strong spiritual values in preparation for life’s journey, you can find information at www. tomorrowshopefoundation. org.

BE MORE POSITIVE, HAPPY, HEALTHY & SMART That is what you will learn by reading, Positivity!

Unlike other books regarding happiness, this book builds a foundation on being smarter, obtaining the skills necessary toward gainful employment and managing money successfully. How can a person be happy if they do not have a good job, cannot give a good speech and cannot invest wisely? In the highly competitive world in which we live, a foundation must be built that makes people happy and healthy. The foundation starts with positive thinking and a healthy lifestyle but it should be coupled with continuing education and prowess in accumulating and managing money. This answers the question, how can a person be happy in today’s world.

“Reading Positivity is a game changer for every reader. The unique wisdom and philosophy of life that Harry Edelson shares proves that life can be easy and joyful for everyone. Imagine a world if seven billion people lived by Positivity!

Thank you for sharing this masterpiece. Harry Edelson has figured out true keys to a good life – which is the one common denominator everyone wants. And I know, because I’ve interviewed over 400 of the top CEOs, and I see a lot of wisdom and very successful people…and Harry has truly figured it out. What a gift you offer in this book.”

ROBERT REISS, HOST & CEO, THE CEO SHOW “As Benjamin Franklin said: ‘An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.’ The wisdom in Harry Edelson’s book is like finding a great investment. It continues to grow in value and will pay dividends throughout your life. This is the same philosophy that the brilliant investor, George Soros, has advocated through his Open Society Foundations where I served as a Trustee for many years” JOHN W. ALLEN, INT’L INVESTMENT BANKER AND CHAIRMAN OF GREATER CHINA CORP “The interesting thing about Harry Edelson is that he is usually the smartest guy in the room and what is amazing, the happiest guy in the room. His book tells it all and can be easily absorbed by adults and students alike.”

Catholic Schools Week where they will discover that the Church and the schools are as interested in making their Catholic school dream come true as they are. On your visit, you will discover that tuition is actually quite reasonable and that there are multi-child discounts and other incentives to further reduce that cost. You will also discover that many Parishes and schools have scholarships and grants available to help offset the cost of tuition, and that there is a foundation on Long Island that raises money specifically to help families that desire a Catholic education but cannot afford it. That foundation is called the Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation.

The Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation was established in September 2005 as a taxexempt, non-for-profit public charity with the purpose of ‘ensuring the excellence as well as the continuance of Catholic elementary schools on Long Island by increasing awareness and by providing scholarship and program funding for the needs of students and

The U.S. Small Business Administration is reminding small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small aquaculture businesses and most private nonprofit organizations in New York of the deadline to submit disaster loan applications for economic injury caused by the apartment building fire on April 10th. The deadline to apply for a working capital disaster loan is February 19th.

“Businesses that suffered economic losses as a result of the disaster and want to apply for low-interest loans from the SBA are urged to do so before the February 19th deadline,” said Frank Skaggs, director of SBA Field Operations Center East.

Low-interest disaster loans are available in the counties of Albany, Columbia, Greene, Rensselaer, Saratoga and

Washington in New York; Berkshire in Massachusetts and Bennington in Vermont.

Working capital disaster loans up to $2 million are available at 4 percent for small businesses, and 2.625 percent for private nonprofit organizations with terms up to 30 years.

The loans are intended to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable, and other expenses that could have been paid had the disaster not occurred.

To be considered for this assistance, eligible entities need to apply by the deadline.

Applicants may apply online using the Electronic Loan Application (ELA) via SBA’s secure website at https://disasterloan.sba. gov/ela.

Applications and program information are available by calling the SBA’s Customer Service Center at 1.800.659.2955

THE LAST SHOT SUBMITTED BY: HAMID UMAR, GRADE 6, BAY SHORE MIDDLE SCHOOL

In the middle of the game, the score is 28 to 30.

Our team is losing by three points.

When the game starts, our team gets the ball first.

My teammate passes me the ball; the opponents are jumping on top of me.

They smell like smelly socks, and you can hear the dribbling noise of the ball as it is bounced on the ground.

I had to cross the opponents over, and then I was about to shoot from the three-point line.

I felt the rough rubber material with a flick of my wrist.

The ball was slowly rolling around the rim, acting like it didn’t want to go in.

You could see the bright orange color of the ball.

It went in and made a swooshing noise.

The whole crowd cheered.

My First Blizzard By: Jamie Lynn Ryan

Winter is coming. Winter is coming. So the humans have been saying for the last three months, and yet… only now, in the final week of January, have I gotten to witness firsthand this magical white stuff in action.

And what a beauty it is, even from the confines of my tiny betta bowl.

Swirling snowflakes, blowing through the air, piling up outside my window to the outside world… and my human, fervently shoveling out her electric blue car – what a fine color it is, I might add – as the wind whips across the parking lot.

But still, the opportunity

to hibernate with my human for an entire weekend, to have her undivided attention while we relaxed together and watched Netflix on the couch – that was priceless.

We just finished Season 1 of House of Cards and I’m already, excuse the pun, “hooked.”

I must admit, I didn’t understand the obsession with scouring the stores for every last container of milk, carton of eggs and loaf of bread at first. But then I realized the horror of not being able to make French toast for an entire day, and I understood the magnitude of such a storm and the havoc it could wreak on the masses. Just the thought of a day without flakes was

enough to drive my fins into a frenzy.

Add to that the hazards of commuting, and it’s no wonder humans have so much anxiety at the first forecast of a flake. Me, I have trouble navigating around my plant when the water gets a little cloudy.

I have the frayed fins to prove it.

I understand this may be only the beginning of the winter weather. So far, not so bad. I’m just keeping my fins crossed that there are no major storms headed this way for February 16th – my very first betta birthday in my human’s home. I expect a big turnout for my party… and presents… and extra flakes of course…

Just not of the snow variety.

Veterans Assistance Programs Islip Town Councilman John Cochrane, Jr., wishes to remind local veterans of the many services that the Town of Islip can provide to those who have served our country. Councilman Cochrane - a Navy veteran - has spearheaded the Town’s efforts to better serve those who have protected our nation. One of the latest programs is the PFC Joseph R. Dwyer Project, a PTSD support service group aimed at helping veterans cope with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

The program, which began in 2015, has met with success and praise by the veteran community.

“PTSD impacts many veterans returning from

overseas deployments and can have a serious and detrimental effect on their lives,” said Councilman Cochrane. “This is a unique program that can make a real difference and provide support to those who have sacrificed so much.”

The PFC Joseph R. Dwyer Project, run by the Veterans for Veterans organization, can be reached at 631.672.1201, or via e-mail at vetpeertopeer@ suffolkcountyny.gov.

Ongoing programs and initiatives include: Veteran’s Hotline – The Town of Islip maintains a Veteran’s Hotline for Town of Islip’s veterans and veterans’ organizations to assist them with their

issues, concerns, projects and programs. To contact the hotline, dial 631.224.

VETS (8387).

Veteran’s Affairs Webpage – The Town of Islip maintains a webpage dedicated to serving our local veterans. To access the information on this page, go to www. islipny.gov and click the “Veterans Affairs” tab on the right side of the page.

Latest Edition of Islip’s War Journal The latest edition of Islip’s War Journal is the continuation of the past Islip War Journals, which focused on WWII, Korea and Vietnam. The latest edition is slated to chronicle the actions of all combat veterans who have served in the first

Gulf War to the present War on Terror. Forms for submission may be downloaded from the Town’s website at www. islipny.gov. Click the link “Veterans Affairs” then click the sentence that says “Councilman Cochrane’s office to lead New Editions of Islip’s “Journals of War Veterans”. Forms can also be obtained by visiting the Councilman’s office at 655 Main Street, Islip, first floor, west wing.

Obtaining Important Documents – Any veterans, or family members of veterans, hoping to access military benefits must have their service records in order and readily available.

The most important

of these documents is their DD214/Honorable Discharge papers. If any veteran or family member of a veteran is having trouble obtaining this document, contact Councilman Cochrane’s office at 631.224.5559.

Councilman Cochrane also strongly encourages veterans to register their DD214 with the Suffolk County Clerk to ensure that a backup document is on file.

Recognition for Cold War Service – Veterans who wish to receive a Cold War Recognition Certificate can visit Councilman Cochrane’s office (655 Main Street, Islip) to fill out the application form. To be eligible, an applicant

must have been a veteran serving at least one day during the Cold War era, (September 2nd, 1945 to December, 1991) and did not receive a less than honorable discharge.

Councilman Cochrane’s office will assist any veteran with obtaining a copy of their DD214 for proof of service.

Just bring any military information you have to the Councilman’s office at 655 Main Street, Islip.

For more information on services and programs for local veterans, please visit the online Veterans Quarterdeck by visiting www.islipny.gov.

(NAPSI)—Here’s hot news: While extreme cold weather can be dangerous, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and can lead to hypothermia, frostbite and trench foot, you don’t have to suffer through it, even if you spend a lot of time outdoors in the colder months.

That’s because you can get battery-operated hand, foot and pocket warmers to keep you cozy when it’s cold out. They make great gifts for the holidays, to show the warmth of your affection.

Outdoor enthusiasts of all sorts, outdoor workers, football fans, skiers and ice-skaters can keep their toes, hands and other parts cozy for a few hours or a full day. These high-tech, wireless, battery operated products can keep you warm no matter what you’re doing out in the cold.

For convenience

as well as comfort for your feet, ThermaCELL Heated Insoles have three temperature settings that are controlled by a wireless remote for easy adjustment without removing your shoes. It’s designed to hang from belt, key chain or zipper and is small enough for your pocket.

You can fix the temperature on the insoles remotely from Medium (100° F) to High (111° F) to no heat. They are equipped with high-tech wireless thermal technology and will last well over 500 charges. They come in five sizes and can be trimmed to fit most types of boots and shoes, from women’s size 4.5 to a men’s size 13. The ProFLEX version even has a rechargeable, removal battery covered in Poron, an antimicrobial, shock-absorbing cushion.

You simply pull out the old one and put in the spare.

The small (for hands) and large (for pockets)

ThermaCELL Heat Packs have three temperature settings reaching 116° F. Put them inside your gloves, pocket, hand muff, hat—or any place that could use some warmth.

Unlike disposable, airactivated hand warmer packets, they provide constant, regulated warmth. An LED light indicates the temperature setting.

Advanced heat sensors maintain consistent temperature for up to six hours per charge and recharge hundreds of times.

The heat packs have lithium-ion polymer batteries that fully recharge in less than four hours and are completely wireless, requiring no external straps or battery packs.

They are water resistant and protected against moisture and perspiration.

Caring For Older Adults (NAPSI)—With a growing aging population, the amount of family caregivers in the United States is also on the rise. There are nearly 45 million people who serve as a caregiver for a family member or friend who is 50 or older. Serving as a caregiver can be rewarding but difficult.

Often, caregivers are unaware of local aging resources that might be able to assist them.

Saving Money In A Seller’s Market: Three Tips to rise as bidding wars drive them higher. Don’t get caught up competing against other buyers and counteroffering above what you can comfortably afford. Winning a bidding war could feel like losing if you end up spending above your means. Stay patient and walk away if the price surpasses your budget.

Identify needs versus wants: No home is perfect and many people have to compromise on features when buying an existing home. At the same time, you don’t want to end up settling for a house you don’t love.

Separate and maintain your focus on what you really want in a home against what you can live with (or without). A home in a certain school district or close to your job most likely falls into the former while a kitchen with a fancy

backsplash is something you can add at a later date.

Work with a Realtor who knows the area: When housing supply is tight, an attractively priced home will likely draw multiple offers. Find a Realtor with experience serving clients in your desired area. He or she can provide invaluable market information, including how fast homes are selling and for what price. A Realtor can also help you with a negotiation strategy to make your offer stand out. To find one, go to www.realtor.com/ realestateagents and enter the zip code of the area where you want to buy.

Buying a home is arguably the most important financial decision you’ll make in your life. Working with a Realtor and following this advice can give you the advantage you need.

(NAPSI)—Parents of young children need to be better educated in order to avoid making potentially dangerous safety mistakes when they are on the go.

The Problem Automobile crashes remain a leading cause of death for children and it’s important that parents consistently and correctly use the appropriate car seat to keep their child passengers safe.

Many parents may be unknowingly endangering their children as three out of four car seats are not used correctly, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Some Answers Busy parents and caregivers may be tempted by safety shortcuts when transporting children. AAA offers simple reminders to protect parents’ most precious cargo.

Shortcut: “I’m only driving a mile from home, so my son doesn’t need to be secured in his car seat since it’s a short trip.”

Reminder: You should buckle up properly on every trip—no matter the distance—especially since most crashes occur close to home.

Shortcut: “I’m picking up several kids after soccer practice and I’m going to put my 8-year-old daughter in the front seat so all the children can fit into the car.”

Reminder: All children under age 13 are safest when riding in the backseat and properly restrained in a car seat, booster seat or seat belt.

Shortcut: “We will be driving more people in our car than we have seat belts.

Since it’s a short trip, it’s not a big deal for someone to ride on another person’s lap.”

Reminder: It’s never safe to ride on another person’s lap. Each passenger should be properly restrained on every trip.

Shortcut: “My son is 10 years old and 4’6” tall. He’s big enough to use a seat belt now.”

Reminder: The American Academy of Pediatrics now recommends children continue to use beltpositioning booster seats until they are 4’9” and the seat belt fits properly.

Help For Parents Fortunately, AAA experts are available to help parents with car seat installation.

Visit an AAA club, go to www.seatcheck.org or call (866) SEATCHECK [(866) 732-8243].

Learn More For additional information on AAA’s child passenger safety resources for parents and caregivers, visit www.AAA.com/ carseat.

There’s good news for those concerned about cholesterol and their health. They may have a new way to regulate their cholesterol level that doesn’t involve prescription drugs.

Cholesterol is a naturally occurring substance in the human body. It is used to make many of our hormones, vitamin D and bile acids, which aid fat digestion and keep cell membranes intact.

How much you have is based on a combination of genetics and lifestyle.

However, too much LDL cholesterol—often referred to as “bad cholesterol”—can slowly build and contribute to heart disease and clogged arteries. Some will try to manage their cholesterol with diet and exercise while others will turn to

prescription medications.

A New Approach One of the latest approaches to managing cholesterol involves taking a nutritional supplement. One such supplement, called Sytrinol, is described as a safe, effective cholesteroland triglyceride-lowering nutrient that is designed to begin working in 30 days.

The supplement is made up of a blend of powerful antioxidants including polymethoxylated flavones (PMFs) and a range of palm (alpha, delta and gamma) tocotrienols.

According to a published clinical study, Sytrinol was able to significantly lower total cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides. The formula is also said to increase HDL levels. This is often referred to as the “good

cholesterol” because of the way it transports LDL cholesterol away from the heart and back into the bloodstream.

Heart-Healthy Ingredients One of the main active ingredients in Sytrinol is a group of compounds derived from the peels of citrus fruits. The two most common are tangeretin and nobiletin, which are described as extremely potent bioflavonoids.

Another ingredient is a group of palm tocotrienols, which are members of the vitamin E family and are extracted from the fruit of the palm tree. Like vitamin E, palm tocotrienols control antiinflammatory responses and degrade a key enzyme used by the liver to produce cholesterol.

Seven Steps To Keeping Your Pet Healthy for skin conditions such as flea allergy dermatitis in dogs and miliary dermatitis in cats. Fleas also transmit other parasites including tapeworms.

A flea infestation is something no pet owner ever wants to face—especially as nearly half of dogs and 62 percent of cats sleep in their owner’s bed, according to the APPA. To help, you can now get a fast-acting oral medication for treating flea infestations containing veterinarianrecommended active ingredient nitenpyram.

PetArmor FastCaps (nitenpyram) is an overthe-counter tablet that begins working in 30 minutes to kill fleas on your pet, making it an excellent alternative to topical flea medication, since this protection can’t rub or wash off.

There’s no odor or messy application on your pet or in your house. What’s more, you don’t have to separate pets in multipet

households. It cuts out the mess and does exactly what you need it to do: kill fleas fast.

When used as directed, a single dose kills the adult fleas on your dog or cat.

If your pet gets reinfested, you can safely give another dose as often as once a day. It’s generally best to treat all infested pets in the household at the same time, as fleas can reproduce on untreated pets and allow infestations to persist.

PetArmor FastCaps tablets are available for dogs, puppies, cats and kittens 4 weeks of age or older and 2 to 25 pounds, or for dogs over 25 pounds.

They’re safe for pregnant or breeding dogs and cats, too.

Perserverance In the realm of ideas, everything depends on enthusiasm; in the real world, all rests on perseverance.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Tips On Avoiding Financial Exploitation (NAPSI)—There’s good news for older Americans.

While financial abuse and scams are believed to cost seniors an estimated $3 billion annually, you can help prevent them and protect yourself.

For example, here are some steps you can take: • Plan your financial future with trusted family members, friends and professionals. If managing your daily finances is difficult, consider engaging a money manager.

• Talk with a lawyer about creating a durable power of attorney for asset management, a revocable or living will, and trust and health care advance directives.

• Don’t be pressured or intimidated into quick financial decisions or sign any documents you do not completely understand.

• Never provide personal information (Social Security number, credit card) over the phone unless you placed the call

and know with whom you are speaking.

• Tear up or shred credit card receipts, bank statements, solicitations and financial records before disposing of them.

For more tips on avoiding exploitation, or if you suspect you or someone you know is being exploited, call the Eldercare Locator at (800) 677-1116 or visit www.eldercare.gov.

The Eldercare Locator is a public service of the U.S. Administration on Aging

Big, Colorful Ideas For Small Spaces ( N A P S I ) — T h e C(NAPSI)—Making a small room appear larger can be as simple as using color creatively. To add some breathing room to a compact space, all you need are some colorful ideas.

“Color is one of the easiest, most affordable ways to transform the look and feel of a room,” says David Bromstad, HGTV® star and celebrity interior designer. “When used in a few well-chosen places, such as a feature wall or statement piece of furniture, color can have a big impact in a small space.”

Bromstad offers these color tips for transforming a space from tiny to airy: Create a focal point with paint. Paint a statement wall that draws attention away from the size of your space and toward something beautiful and vibrant. Bright or bold

colors work well, as the wall can appear to recede, creating the illusion of space.

Go big with lighter and softer colors. In areas beyond the feature wall, use lighter and softer colors to make the space seem larger. Light blues and greens add significant light subtly to a room.

Coordinate your colors.

Stretch your space and maximize impact by using color to coordinate your rooms and decor. HGTV® HOME by SherwinWilliams offers precoordinated collections of color, paint and wallpaper.

The color palettes can be used to ensure that your walls, furniture and accessories help create a cohesive look.

Reflect upon something.

Placed opposite a window or side by side, mirrors can spread light throughout the room to make spaces feel larger. A tall mirror draws the eye up, making ceilings look taller. When

angled toward your room’s focal wall, a mirror can also create the illusion of depth.

Paint something unexpected. Think beyond your walls and consider painting your mailbox or address numbers on your home, a stairway banister or a piece of furniture.

Add a colorful punctuation point by transforming a bedroom nightstand bright blue or a desk chair in an unexpected orange.

Everything else in the room will appear larger.

“Clever use of color adds the illusion of space and injects personality into it as well. That’s what’s great about color; you can dramatically alter the look of a room while expressing yourself in a fun way,” Bromstad adds.

(NAPSI)—A total of 68 percent of U.S. households own a pet, according to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), with 56.7 million owning a dog and 45.3 million owning a cat.

If your home is among them, you may care to heed these seven hints to keep your pet healthy from the experts at the American Veterinary Medical Association: 1. Maintain your pet at a healthy weight; 2. Exercise your pet; 3. Feed a balanced, nutritious diet; 4. Visit the veterinarian at least once a year to make sure your pet is healthy and to help detect problems earlier; 5. Vaccinate your pet against potentially deadly diseases such as distemper, parvo, panleukopenia and rabies; 6. Spay/neuter your dog or cat; 7. Keep your pet free of ticks and fleas.

Fleas can be responsible
