“The crime problem in New York is getting really serious. The other day the Statue of Liberty

had both hands up.” - Jay Leno

About 6 percent of all criminals in the United States commit 70 percent of all violent crimes, which means 94 per-

cent are involved in non-violent crimes, in-cluding bonehead schemes. Some criminals get away with their crime; some get arrest-ed; and some become fodder for late-night comedians – or community newspapers.

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law – or in a comedy club.

Half-wit, dimly lit criminals are everywhere.

CLOWNING AROUND

• Frank Salvador Solorza, age 46, of Redwood City, Calif., came up with this moronic idea to extort money from his cousins. Solorza, posing as a federal immigration agent, sent letters to six cousins, accusing them of lying on their applications for permanent residency in the U.S. The letters also included this: “For $50,000, your papers will be good forever.”

He instructed one cousin to meet

him with the money gathered from all cousins. Solorza said the mon-ey should be handed to a man in a clown suit riding a bicycle. Solorza appeared as such: on a child’s bicy-cle dressed in a clown suit, a glittery wig and a pirate’s hat. When police

arrested him, Solorza had the cell phone he used to call his cousin and a receipt from a costume store. http://thisistrue.com• In August, two robbers dressed in clown garb went into a jewelry store – Sonny’s Rocks – in Denver with their guns drawn. After they made customers and employees lie face down on the ground, the rob-bers broke into the jewelry cases and stole the goods. However, the robbers had no idea that all of the jewelry on display was fake. A couple from Aurora, Colo., was ar-rested in Utah but police had not of-fi cially linked them to the Denver crime. The police found diamond rings in their car – real ones, worth about $400,000.

DUMBAND DUMBER

• In May, 35-year-old Daniel

Rahynes entered a bank in Har-risburg, Penn., under the premise of opening an account. Instead, Rahynes robbed the bank. He made off with a small amount of cash, but during his request to open an ac-count, he had given the bank rep-resentative two forms of identifi ca-tion. With certainty, police arrested Rahynes later that day – after he crashed into another vehicle while driving under the infl uence.

• Phillip Williams didn’t trust his crack cocaine dealer. To confi rm he had bought the real “stuff,” Wil-liams waved down two Tampa, Fla., police offi cers and asked them to test the crack cocaine that he had just purchased. He told them he wanted to make sure it was real. It was – and Williams ended up in the slammer.

• When James Wombles of River-side, Ohio, had served his time for receiving stolen property, he had to wear an ankle bracelet equipped with a GPS monitoring system as part of the terms of his parole. The GPS came in handy. Wombles broke into several homes, and the police were obviously able to track him – and then arrest him.

• In Scotland, shoplifter Aron Mor-rison stole a bottle of vodka from a liquor store. It didn’t take police long to fi nd him since he left his name and phone number with the clerk, whom he had asked out on a date.

DUMBEST In Wichita, Kan., Zachera McGrew, age 23, discovered that his car speakers had been stolen. Certain he knew the culprit; McGrew drove to a nearby neighborhood with two friends to confront the alleged thief, a teenage boy. When he arrived, McGrew jumped out of his car and demanded that the boy get in the car and take him to his speakers. The teenager refused, so McGrew drew his handgun (a stolen weapon that he had received in trade for his pit bull).

The teenager ran, and McGrew fi red a couple of shots at him. When the kid was nowhere in sight, McGrew slid his gun back into his waistband

and accidentally squeezed the trig-ger, hitting his left testicle. Perhaps he was a bit disoriented from the pain, but McGrew pulled the trig-ger again, sending a bullet to his left calf.

His friends drove him to the hos-pital. The police were called, and McGrew told the offi cers he had been shot by a stranger. He even-tually confessed the truth to his embarrassment, which didn’t stop there. McGrew was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, but the press had a fi eld day with the headlines. MSNBC, for exam-ple, published this headline on their Web site: “NOBODY MOVE OR THE ONE ON THE RIGHT GETS IT, TOO.”

WORST ESCAPES• Bonnie and Clyde they are not. Roy and Jessica Fritts of Utah met through a prison pen-pal site and were married in prison. Roy, age 33, was serving 10 years for the at-tempted murder of a police offi cer, and his 35-year-old bride was in for bank robbery. After each was pa-roled, they reunited on the outside and decided to go to Nevada. Roy failed to report to his parole offi cer and also didn’t mention the car he was planning to steal.

When a charitable man picked them up as they were hitchhiking, the Fritts shot the driver, dumped him

on the road and took off in his van. The man survived and gave the police a description of the infamous couple and the van.

Police caught up with them, but the Fritts tried to outrun the police car. A van and a squad car in chase is like a race between a tortoise and a hare. The cops were able to get ahead and place stop sticks across the road, which blew out the Fritts’ tires. The Fritts didn’t stop there. They took off on foot and discovered an older man nearby standing in his driveway. The ingenious couple stole his car but didn’t get too far. Neither Roy nor Jessica knew how to drive a stick shift. They ended up stalling the en-gine a few times before police sur-rounded them.

• Police in Southside, Ala., were called to a home when neighbors complained of loud noise. When the cops arrived, they found a bunch of teenagers engaged in underage drink-ing and other shenanigans. Andrew Hank Stabler, age 18, decided to run. The police, however, caught him and put him in handcuffs.

When Stabler begged the police to loosen the “tight” cuffs, one cop obliged. Stabler took off running again; and, still in handcuffs, he jumped into a river. It’s diffi cult to swim in river currents but especially tough with your hands cuffed. As Stabler went under, a police offi cer rescued him. He was booked for dis-orderly conduct, resisting arrest, es-caping and swimming under the in-fl uence of alcohol – and handcuffs.

NO … REALLY• Punctual in Vernon, British Co-

lumbia: Raymond Cuthbert dropped by a drugstore and told the clerk that he and his accomplice would be back in 30 minutes to rob the store. They were on time – and under arrest, as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police greeted them.

• It’s best to call ahead. Albert Bai-ley of Connecticut phoned a bank and instructed an employee to have the money ready for him; he would be in soon to rob the bank. The police, of course, were waiting for him and his 16-year-old accomplice. One police offi cer referred to Bailey as “not too bright.”

• Get it right, please: In Los Ange-les, police were questioning potential suspects in a lineup. When a detec-tive asked each man to repeat the words: “Give me all your money or I’ll shoot,” one man yelled, “That’s not what I said.”

• A toll on the brain: Thieves in Flori-da took a wrong turn and ended up on the Homestead, Fla., Air Force Base. They actually thought the military police guardhouse at the front gate was a toll booth; and they were trying to pay the fee.

WILL THE REAL LAME-BRAINS STAND UP?

In Oakland, Calif., police offi cers spent two hours attempting to lure a gunman out of his home, after he had barricaded himself inside. The of-fi cers fi red 10 tear gas canisters but soon discovered that the gunman was standing beside them in the police line shouting, “Please come out and give yourself up.”

You have the right to remain silent, but a chuckle or two will not be held against you in a court of law!

SNIPPETZ®: THE LOCAL SCOOP

Advertisements are all around telling people to receive the fl u vaccine. Some advertise-

ments feed guilt and fear if people choose not to receive a fl u vaccine. Receiving a fl u vaccine needs to be a personal choice, not a guilt ridden choice. Receiving a fl u shot also needs to be based on research.

Pharmacists have the fl u vaccine behind their counter in a box. In the box is an insert, which lists all the ingredients in the vaccine. One can also look up the vaccine ingredients at the National Vaccine Information Center website (www.nvic.org.) The NVIC is a nonprofi t that advocates researching vaccines before accept-ing them for yourself or your child.

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has stated that this year’s fl u vaccine, which contains the H1N1 strain, is the same vaccine as last year. They decided they did not need to change the vaccine. If you happen to come in contact with the particu-lar fl u strain for which the vaccine was created, you ‘shouldn’t’ de-velop fl u symptoms. However, that does not mean the fl u itself will not mutate into a different strain. When that occurs, when you come in con-

LIFEENERGYFLOW:

FLUVIRUS

tact with another strain, you will develop fl u symptoms. Sometimes, those symptoms can be severe, de-pending on your immune system.

Currently, there is concern over the fl u virus, specifi cally the H5N1 vi-rus. An article dated August 29th, 2011 from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations states, “FAO today urged height-ened readiness and surveillance against a possible major resurgence of the H5N1 Highly Pathogenic Avian Infl uenza amid signs that a mutant strain of the deadly Bird Flu virus is spreading in Asia and beyond, with unpredictable risks to human health.” Apparently, there is no medication and currently no vaccine for this virus. If and when a vaccine is created, it could mutate this virus into another one more se-vere.

This does not mean to fear a virus, it means being aware of what goes into your body. Researching vaccines, foods, water, and any chemicals that can and do lower your immune system. People can also look into Life Energy Flow Tai Yi to assist in boosting the immune system. Hu-man Vitality is a treatment that spe-cifi cally works with the meridians that work with the immune system. A meridian is like a pipe. When it is clear, the life energy in your body moves freely with no concerns. When the pipe is coated with tox-ins it limits the energy fl owing and reducing the immune system. Find more information on Tai Yi at www.empowermentthroughhealing.org on the Tai Yi page.

Prepare out of wisdom never fear. Research what lowers the immune system and make choices that will improve the immune system.

Don’t Shoot theMessenger!

Part 2 of 2Agents do not control the

market, so if your home isn’tselling, please don’t take it outon them. In this economictime and down real estatemarket, agents are working 3times as hard for 1/3 of theirpay. Asking your agent totake a hit on their commissionis not a good solution to easeyour pain of selling in a downmarket. It takes far moreelaborate marketing ideas,costing much more out of theirpockets to get your home tostand out amongst the mas-sive amount of homes for salecompeting for attention rightnow.

Real Estate Agents mustspend thousands of dollars ayear for their license, liabilityinsurance, Realtor's fees, MLSfees, continuing educationcourses to keep up withchanges in real estate law,procedures, and guidelines onthe national, state and locallevels to insure that every con-tract they write is correct andcomplete. They also need tobe aware of changes in mort-gage lending practices ofwhich there have been manythis last year. They also needto be aware of any changes ininsurance regulations andproperty taxes that may affecttheir clients.

Agents are expected toanswer their phones on week-days, weekends, in the lateevenings, early in the morn-ings, and on their vacations.It’s a 24 / 7 business. Agentsare also expected to keep upwith an array of information

including the latest roofing,plumbing, electrical, and struc-tural details. They must alsohave an eye for staging, interi-or design and give sugges-tions for home upgrades andremodeling. They must beable to photograph well, writedescriptively, keep up with allthe latest internet marketingopportunities, debate andnegotiate contract details,organize paperwork and keeptrack of every tiny deadline,and also be able to removereal estate signs from thefrozen ground in the winter!

How many of you haveever called up a Real EstateAgent and asked them to puttogether a Market Analysis ofyour home just so you canknow what it’s worth? Oryou’ve run into a problem withyour Property Taxes andasked an Agent’s advise onhow to appeal the Assessor?Or maybe you needed a blankquit claim deed or wonderedhow much the house down thestreet sold for......so you calledyour local Realtor and gotwhat you needed, right?

Real Estate Agents spendapproximately 1/3 of their timeon projects that are complete-ly unbillable hours -- Favorsfor a clients or a friend. Andalways done with a cheerful“Da Nada!”

Be loyal to your Agent ofchoice. The majority of theyear it’s a thankless job, andwhen you show appreciationwe live on that high for weeks!

By Samantha Weaver

• It was revered American comedian Bill Cosby who made the following sage observation: “Human beings are the only creatures that allow their children to come back home.”

• Here’s a disturbing statistic for parents: If your child is like the av-erage American youth, between the ages of 5 and 15 he or she will see approximately 13,500 people killed on television.

• Most languages change dramati-cally over time. If we in modern America were to try to read “Be-owulf” (which was written in Old English), for instance, only those who have spent time studying the language would be able to make out more than a word or two here and there. If you’re from Iceland, how-ever, this isn’t the case; the written language there has remained virtu-ally unchanged for more than 1,000 years. Modern Icelanders have no trouble reading sagas that were written in the 10th century.

• Relative to body size, humans -- unsurprisingly -- have larger brains

than any other animal. Of non-human animals, it’s the bottlenose dolphin that has the largest brain.

• When Great Britain’s current Queen Elizabeth -- then Princess Elizabeth -- wed Prince Philip, their wedding cake weighed a whopping 500 pounds.

• As legend has it, in 1288, when Dusseldorf, Germany, was granted its city charter, children all over the city began turning cartwheels for

joy. The cartwheel has been an en-during part of the culture there ever since, and in 1937 the city even in-augurated an annual international cartwheel championship.

• Those who study such things claim that when you’re playing Mo-nopoly, you’re likely to land on Illi-nois Avenue and the B&O Railroad more than on any other squares.

• On Sept. 16, 1620, the Mayfl ower sails from Plymouth, England, bound for the New World with 102 passengers. The ship was headed for Virginia, but stormy weather and navigational errors forced the Mayfl ower off course. On Nov. 21, the “Pilgrims” arrived in Massachusetts.

• On Sept. 15, 1916, during the Battle of the Somme, the British launch a major offen-sive against the Germans, employing tanks for the fi rst time. Although slow, the tanks showed promise and hundreds more were ordered.

• On Sept. 17, 1923, a fi re threatens the Uni-versity of California at Berkeley, kills two people and causes $10 million in damages. Homeowners fought the fl ames with garden hoses and buckets, and students from the University of California pitched in, as the fi re came right to the campus gates.

• On Sept. 13, 1936, 17-year-old Cleveland Indians pitching ace “Rapid” Robert Feller strikes out 17 batters in a game, setting a

new American League record. Feller al-lowed just two hits to help his team to a 5-2 victory over the Philadelphia A’s.

• On Sept. 12, 1940, a collection of 600 pre-historic cave paintings and 1,500 engravings are discovered in a grotto near Montignac, France. The 5,000- to 17,000-year-old paint-ings consisted mostly of animal representa-tions. The Lascaux grotto’s main cavern is 66 feet wide and 16 feet high.

• On Sept. 14, 1964, writer John Steinbeck is presented the U.S. Medal of Freedom. Steinbeck had already received numerous honors and awards for his writing, including the 1962 Nobel Prize, and the 1939 Pulitzer Prize for “The Grapes of Wrath.” He also wrote “Tortilla Flat,” “East of Eden” and the novella “Of Mice and Men.”

• On Sept. 18, 1987, cesium-137 is removed from an abandoned cancer-therapy machine in Brazil. Junkyard workers, fascinated by the glowing blue stone inside and complete-ly unaware of its dangers, distributed pieces to friends, relatives and neighbors. Hun-dreds of people were eventually poisoned by radiation from the substance, and 40 con-taminated homes had to be demolished.

ASK FOR YOURDISCOUNT

Sometimes the key to getting a senior discount is just getting up the nerve to ask for one. If

we get in the habit of asking for a discount every single time we spend money, think how much we could save.

Someone on the Internet has com-piled a long list of stores that give discounts to seniors. You can fi nd that list by going to Google.com and searching for “106 Stores with Senior Discounts.” There’s even a handy .PDF version you can print out to make sure you don’t miss any-thing! Categories include Restau-rants, Retail and Apparel, Grocery, Travel, Activities and Entertain-ment, Cell Phones and Miscella-neous.

Not only is the amount of the dis-count noted (either the percentage

of the total purchase or a dollar amount), but the day of the week or date during the month, as well as the age it applies to. Some consider us seniors at the age of 50, while others go with age 55, 62 or 65.

If you’re a member of AARP, there are dozens of discounts built right into the membership. On the Web site [www.aarp.org] click on Mem-ber Benefi ts, then Discounts. To name just two of the new discounts, Walgreens offers savings if you show your card, and Michaels has discounts on Tuesdays. There are 15,000 restaurant locations that of-fer discounts, and travel discounts can be found on car rentals, hotels, cruises and tours.

Seniors Discounts [www.seniordis-counts.com] has more than 150,000 businesses listed that give discounts to seniors. There is a fee, however, either $7.95 or $12.95 per year, de-pending on the level of services you want.

Start carrying your AARP card in your pocket! Remember to use the plastic one with the magnetic strip and bar code on the back.

LAXATIVES HAVE GOTTEN AN UNFAIR

REPUTATIONDEAR DR. DONOHUE: For the past two years, my husband has been try-ing to deal with constipation. We have tried everything -- lots of fruits and vegetables, prunes and fi ber. He takes a spoonful of mineral oil daily. He is active and plays golf twice a week and walks 2 miles on the other mornings. A lifelong fear of becoming dependent on laxatives prevents him from taking any. We are at a loss about what to do. Any suggestions you make are appreciated. -- J.H.

ANSWER: A lack of fl uids, too little fi ber and inactivity are the major causes of constipation. Laxatives used to be thought of as dangerous remedies, to be used sparingly if at all. People do not develop a “laxative habit,” and their co-lons are not harmed by them. Your hus-band has done all he can without any results.

It is much unhealthier for him to strain to eliminate than it is to take a laxative. He can use whichever one he wants. MiraLAX is a reliable one. Mineral oil is not great idea. If the oil goes down the wrong way and enters the lungs, it can cause big trouble. Once the laxative has restored normal movements, your hus-band ought to stay on his high-fi ber diet. Fiber doesn’t always end constipation, but it does keep one regular.

Establishing a morning routine often works. Feeding a baby calls for a dia-per change shortly thereafter. The brain sends a signal to the infant’s colon to empty. The same refl ex works in adults, but we have dulled it deliberately. It can

be restored by drinking a caffeinated beverage for breakfast and then taking a walk after eating.

Have your husband try this homemade remedy: Mix 2 cups of bran (obtained at a health-food store) with 2 cups of applesauce and 1 cup of prune juice, sweetened or unsweetened. Refriger-ate the mix. Your husband can take up to three tablespoons twice a day. He should start with a smaller dose.

The pamphlet on constipation and laxa-tives provides other ways to treat this common problem. Readers can order a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 504W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.

***DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Can a person have bursitis and arthritis at the same time? My doctor diagnosed me with bursitis. Then I fell and crushed my kneecap. I had to have surgery for it. Af-ter a while, the knee started giving me pain. The surgeon X-rayed it, and said I had developed arthritis.

My neighbor says you cannot have bursitis and arthritis at the same time. -- S.L.

ANSWER: Your neighbor is wrong. A bursa is a little sac outside of the joint. It lies between a tendon and a bone. It prevents irritation when the tendon rubs against the bone. Bursitis is an infl am-mation of a bursa.

Arthritis is something that happens within the joint. Your trauma damaged the cartilages within the joint, and they have become frayed and slightly in-fl amed.

There is no law that says you can’t have both bursitis and arthritis at the same time.

***Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to an-swer individual letters, but he will incorpo-rate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

FAT CANMELT AWAY!Somehow when I hit my late

40s, my whole body changed identities! Sagging everything, loss of muscle, and ‘bumpy’ expansions all seemed to happen overnight. Sound familiar?

As we pass 35, the average person loses 1 pound of muscle/year. A pound of muscle burns 50 calories. Let’s advance 20 years to age 55– lose 20# muscle – 1,000 less calories being burned! If you continue to eat the same, the fat comes on and usually in the ‘belly area’; the unhealthiest area to gain weight!

That was my story. In fact when I was tested ten years ago (age 48) I was actually 45% body fat. A woman should be at 20-25% body fat; I clearly had a problem!

Excess body fat means less muscle and poor posture due to a lack of muscle to hold the body upright. I had already shrunk an inch in height! My mom has shrunk over �ive inches; as a naturapathic doctor, I knew I had to change this forecast or live out the pattern of my family.

I began the journey of trying everything I knew that could address body-fat. I even began to exercise! Now that was a sight to behold! The �irst day I got on our recumbent bike, I rode all of 30 seconds (yes, seconds not minutes!). That put me in bed for 3

hours – what a scary place to start.

I had a perfect, organic diet; exercised, worked with professionals, used supplements. Over the next six years I lost 35 pounds. Imagine my disappointment and frustration when my body fat was still at 44%! I had lost weight, but not fat! I was simply a smaller dump!

End of December of 2010, I started the Body by Vi 90 Day Challenge. I made one change – my protein shake – and kept the rest of my routine intact. Imagine my surprise when I dropped 10 pounds and 3 jean sizes at the end of my challenge!

Usually it takes a 10-20# weight loss to drop one size. A pound of muscle takes up the space of a tangerine and a pound of fat the space of a grapefruit. I had lost fat, gained muscle, gained a half-inch in height and I felt amazing!

If you are battling the middleß–age bulge, take a moment and check out my pictures and story at www.lifestyleforhealth.com. Then join me on a 90 Day Challenge that can change your life as it has mine!

YOU WILL DO NOTHING TODAY

By Nick J. Yanez

I’m so very tired. Mental and physical exhaustion wares to the brain, and one can fi nd himself

feeling defl ated. Naturally, tomorrow will be a lazy day. I’ll do nothing. So ask yourself, what happens on those days you decide to do “nothing”? It’s not really nothing you’re doing. You’ll almost certainly watch television, eat, drink, sleep, and all the other basics. But there’s something else, in this day and age, you’ll be sure to do. It is, perhaps, the most obvious of basic day activities you will achieve. I can almost assure you, on your “nothing day” you will visit Facebook.

It’s a phenomenon, and it’s taken over the world and brains of our children. Facebook came to us but a mere weak child in the shadow of Myspace. Now it’s all grown up, and it will ruin our social skills, and rot every last worthy cell in our brain; which is why Pinz Bowling Center is jumping on the

bandwagon. After all, we humans love destroying our brain cells, and Pinz loves humans. It only makes sense!

By visiting Pinz’ Facebook fan page, bowling goers can experience vast advantages in the world of Tri-lakes Entertainment. Anyone who “likes” the Pinz Facebook page will have access to Buy One Get One Free Bowling Coupons every day, a list of upcoming events (like concerts and car shows), and several special campaign offers. This month, Pinz fans are given a special that puts them into still photography. Any living organism who tags Pinz Bowling Center in one of their photo’s (a photo of them at Pinz, of course) will automatically be thrown into a drawing for a free 2-hour Bowling Party for up to 10 friends! It’s specials like this that make the wasting of our lives worth it. So don’t waste your time wasting your time; visit Pinz on Facebook, and make an honest decision.

For more information on Pinz Bowling Center, like prices, events, or leagues, call a representative at (719) 487-7469

OLD-FASHIONED ICE CREAM WITH A MODERN TWIST

Making ice cream at home is an old-fashioned way to have a cool summer treat. You can make ice cream at home without a machine by using a

few simple techniques.Freezing the custard-based ice-cream recipe below (or anything that goes from a liquid to a solid form) means the formation of hard ice crystals. A machine churns the ice-cream mixture constantly, breaking up the crystals. If you’re not using a machine, you can break up the ice crys-tals by using a spatula, whisk or hand-held mixer to create a smooth, creamy dessert.The trick to avoiding ice crystals is to use a large amount of sugar. Sugar lowers the freezing point of the ice-cream mixture so that large crystals are unable to form.Always use cooked or pasteurized eggs or an egg substi-tute in your ice cream to avoid any foodborne illness (food poisoning). If using a recipe with eggs, the base should be heated to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahren-heit and then cooled. This temperature will kill any salmo-nella, if present.Another tip to making smooth, creamy ice cream is to make sure everything you use is cold. After you make the ice-cream mixture, cover it and allow to chill overnight in the refrigerator.When you’re ready to freeze the mixture, place it into a metal container that has been wrapped tightly in a plastic bag and placed in the freezer for several hours. This will cut down on freezing time. Pouring the ice-cream mixture into a shallow container with lots of surface area (which has been wrapped tightly in a plastic bag and placed in the freezer for hours) is another way to get it to freeze rapidly. The only downside of this homemade mixture (if you want to call it that) is that this ice cream needs to be eaten within a week after it’s made for best quality.

HOMEMADE VANILLA ICE CREAM

4 cups heavy cream2 (14 ounce) cans Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk6 tablespoons butter, melted3 tablespoons vanilla extract

1. Using a large bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks and set aside. Using another bowl, whisk sweetened con-densed milk, butter and vanilla together until well-com-bined. Gently fold in the whipped cream.2. Place the bowl of ice-cream mixture into another large bowl fi lled with ice water. Let it set in the cold water until the mixture is cold, or cover the ice-cream mixture with Saran or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill overnight.3. Proceed with the recipe below to freeze the ice cream, or use the variations to create other fl avors. Makes 1/2 gal-lon of ice cream.

Variations:Cinnamon Bun Ice Cream

Add in 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon to the recipe above and decrease the vanilla extract from 1 1/2 tablespoons to 1/2 teaspoon and proceed with the ice-cream preparation rec-ipe below.

Chocolate Chip Ice CreamMix 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips into the vanilla ice-cream recipe above and decrease the vanilla extract from 1 1/2 tablespoons to 1/2 teaspoon and proceed with the ice-cream preparation recipe below.

To Prepare the Ice Cream:1. Stir the chilled ice-cream mixture and then pour it into a 4-quart container (pref-erably a chilled metal or a shallow plastic container) or two 2-quart containers. Cover with plastic or Saran wrap.2. After 45 minutes, check the mixture to see if it is freezing near the edges. Remove it from the freezer and stir vigorously with a hand-held mixer, stick blender, spatula or whisk to break up any frozen sections and to make the mixture smooth. Cover and re-turn ice cream to freezer.

3. Keep checking every 30 minutes to see if the ice cream is freezing near the edges. Stir vigorously (by hand with a spatula or whisk, or with the electric mixer or stick blender). It will likely take 3 to 4 hours to be frozen and ready to serve. The ice cream will be good for one week.

FIGHT HUNGER WITH THE ALL PIKES PEAK

READS HUNGERGAMES FOOD DRIVE

Colorado Springs, Colo. (September 7, 2011) – It’s a fi ght to the death … against hunger in the Pikes Peak region! Pikes Peak Library District is holding a food drive in conjunction with its All Pikes Peak Reads program at all 14 of its El Paso County locations to benefi t Care and Share. The drive, called “Hunger is No Game,” runs from September 10 through October 31 and residents are encouraged to donate their non-perishable goods at donation bar-rels that will be located at Pikes Peak Li-brary District locations and area Wal-Mart stores.

While you turn in your donation, pick up a copy of the APPR study/discussion guide and join us in our community read of the The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, one of the selections for this year’s All Pikes Peak Reads program. Please visit

your local library to read and contribute! APPR is a community-wide reading pro-gram that seeks to strengthen the power of literacy across social, cultural, and genera-tional boundaries. In 2011, Pikes Peak Li-brary District is exploring books that delve into fi lm, photography, and the infl uence of the media on our lives: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, The Shallows by Nicholas Carr, The Pioneer Photographer by William Henry Jackson and Howard Driggs, and The Landry News by Andrew Clements (elementary school).

APPR receives aid from 30 community organizations, 13 public school districts, and private schools, and partners with The Gazette, Colorado Springs Independent, Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, Colo-rado College, UCCS, iT’Z Family Food & Fun, Fox21/CW57, and Gay & Lesbian Fund for Colorado to achieve a program that stimulates minds through community interaction. Please visit ppld.org/APPR for more information on All Pikes Peak Reads, including a complete schedule of events in September and October, curriculum guides for local students, and much more!

New DVD Releases forWeek of Sept. 12, 2011PICKS OF THE WEEK

“Thor” (PG-13) -- The Norse god of thun-der steps up to the plate for his turn at bat for Marvel superhero movies. The Scandi-navian musclecake (played by Chris Hem-sworth) hits it out of the park in terms of visual splendor and respect for the comics, but limps all the way to home plate when compared with the current standard for su-perheroes on fi lm.Thor breaks the superhero mold in a few ways -- he’s never an Average Joe, his back-story is more otherworldly than familiar, and

he doesn’t mount a war against crime, but rather he battles arcane and supernatural evil. True geeks must see “Thor” as a prerequisite to the upcoming Avengers movie that will tie together all of Marvel’s major releases from the past few years. More casual superhero fans can skip this middle-of-its-class fl ick and play catch up when it’s time for the big reunion.“Incendies” (R) -- Nominated for Best For-eign Language Film Oscar, this import is emotionally powerful and socially relevant. After the death of their mother, twins Jeanne and Simon are tasked with fi nding the father who they thought had died and the brother they never knew they had.The journey takes the siblings to the Mid-dle East, where the rabbit-hole twists into a world of perpetual war and long-held hard feelings. The performances and pure tension make this a memorable and touching work.“Conan O’Brien Can’t Stop” (R) -- After the debacle over who should host “The To-

night Show” and his falling out with NBC, comedy writer and TV personality, Conan O’Brien, takes his act on the road. In this documentary of “The Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour,” the gawky funnyman travels the country doing live performances and refl ecting on his role in the comedy world.Even for people who never stayed up late for a dose of Conan, “Conan O’Brien Can’t Stop” has plenty of chuckles and an inter-esting portrayal of somebody who is utterly compelled to make people laugh.

BUYER BEWARE“Star Wars: The Original Trilogy” [Blu-ray] -- Enough time has passed since the last re-release, so we’re apparently due for another Star Wars box set. Though this latest batch contains only the original trilogy (episodes IV-VI), they are not Blu-ray versions of the old releases, but rather the very-altered 2004 editions in Blu-ray format. These movies are

riddled with annoying tweaks, awful updat-ed special effects and re-touched or even re-shot footage mixed in with the original fi lms from the 1970s. In short, they have all the charm and visual panache of a fi ne work of modern art adorned with shiny stickers and eraser burn.

SEPT. 12, 2011

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Mars, your ruling planet, helps you deal with career challenges in a way that refl ects some of your own hidden strengths. This impresses some important decision-makers.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your strong Bovine will, combined with your romantic nature (you are ruled by Venus), helps turn a romance with a potential for problems into one with more-positive possibilities.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Mercury’s infl uence creates some unsettling moments, but nothing that you can’t live with. You’ll soon learn more about that major change that is about to be revealed.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Opportuni-ties for you are like the phases of the Moon: constantly appearing and reappearing. So, cheer up. The opportunity you think you let slip by will be replaced by another.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) An opportu-nity that you hoped would open up for you remains closed. Stop wasting time scratch-ing at it. Something else you’ll like will soon make itself apparent and accessible.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Congratulations. You’ll soon hear some positive feedback for all the hard work you recently put into a project. A Pisces could soon swim into your personal life.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Someone whose friendship you felt you had to write off will try to revive it. What you do is up to you. But don’t do it without giving it considerable thought.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A job-related plan might need to be reworked to allow for changes. Lucky for you that Saturn remains a strong infl uence that can help you focus on getting it done right.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to Decem-ber 21) This is a good time to move into areas of self-discovery. You might be sur-prised about who you really are and how you really relate to those around you.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to Janu-ary 19) Expect to confront someone who will make an unwelcome request. Stand by your resolve to do the right thing no matter what “persuasion” might be offered.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A friendly competition could become more contentious than you expected. Take time out to discuss the reasons behind this unex-pected change, and act accordingly.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You have a wonderful mind for solving mys-teries, so you should feel confi dent about solving the one developing very close to you. An unlikely source offers help.

BORN THIS WEEK: You’re a great host or hostess. You love being with people, and you’re very good about planning all sorts of social events that bring folks together.

FINANCIAL FOCUS

BE AWARE OF KEY BENEFITS

OF LIFEINSURANCEProvided by Adam Grayson

of EdwardJones Investments

You may be unaware of it, but September is Life Insurance Awareness Month. And while

a whole month may seem like a long time to focus on life insurance, it’s actually a good opportunity for you to realize the important role that life insurance can play in your life.

Unfortunately, many people don’t have suffi cient insurance. A recent report by LIMRA, a research and consulting group, shows the following:

Individual life insurance ownership among U.S. households has reached a 50-year low.

Three out of every 10 households (about 35 million households) currently have no life insurance — an increase of 11 million households since 2004.

These fi gures help explain why the nonprofi t LIFE Foundation coordinates Life Insurance Awareness Month each September. Simply put, many people don’t realize how many ways that life insurance can help them and their families.

To be specifi c, life insurance can:

Educate your children — If you were to die prematurely, your life insurance policy can pay, in whole or in part, your children’s college education. And if you live a normal life span, life insurance can help to pay for your grandchildren’s college education.

Pay off your mortgage — If you have suffi cient life insurance, the death benefi t can pay off your mortgage, so your family wouldn’t have to move.

Help pay for your spouse’s retirement

— Your spouse might be counting on sharing some of the money you eventually withdraw from your retirement plans — such as your 401(k) and IRA — to help with his or her own retirement. If you were to die early, your spouse, as benefi ciary, would receive the existing account balances in these plans, but your future contributions would, of course, die with you.

Help pay for your retirement — You don’t even have to die to reap some benefi ts from your life insurance. If you’ve purchased some form of permanent insurance, such as whole life or universal life, you have the opportunity to build a cash balance. And through policy loans or withdrawals, you can tap into this cash to help you pay some of your expenses during retirement.

Help you leave the legacy you desire — Life insurance can be an important part of your estate plans. To use life insurance properly for estate planning, consult with your legal advisor.

Of course, one big question that you may ask is this: How much life insurance do I need? You’ve probably seen those estimates that say you should have insurance that’s worth a certain number of years times your annual income. While this might not be a bad estimate, it’s not a hard-and-fast rule for every single individual. The amount of insurance you need will depend on a variety of factors: your age, income, size of family, value of home, employment situation and so on. Your fi nancial advisor can help you determine the level of insurance that’s appropriate for your needs.

Now that you’ve seen how life insurance may help you over the years, and you’ve got a sense of how to determine the amount of coverage you need, you can appreciate the message behind Life Insurance Awareness Month — so take it to heart and make sure you’ve got the proper insurance plan in place.

GOING ORGANIC

Organic food often comes with a hefty price. It is possible, however, to fi nd food that’s good for us at a cost that isn’t

going to break the bank.

The fi rst step is to learn the differences between “100 percent organic,” “organic” and “70 per-cent organic.” Go online to www.usda.gov and put “National Organic Program” in the search box. Look for “Understanding Organic.”

Decide how to spend your food money to give your family the best health benefi t for the dollar. If you can bake your own breads, then you might

want to limit your organic shopping to fruits and vegetables that you can’t grow. Or if you can grow those, but can’t have chickens, spend your money there.

There’s an online list, sometimes called The Dirty Dozen, of 12 foods that have high rates of pesticide contamination, even after being washed: Nectarines, Celery, Pears, Peaches, Ap-ples, Cherries, Strawberries, Imported Grapes, Spinach, Potatoes, Bell Peppers and Red Rasp-berries. Consider spending your money on or-ganic versions of those, instead of the thicker-skinned fruits and vegetables that have a lower rate of pesticides: Asparagus, Avocados, Banan-as, Broccoli, Caulifl ower, Corn, Kiwi, Mangoes, Onions, Papaya, Pineapples and Sweet Peas.

Buy in-season. See what’s at the store or market, and plan your menus around the organic foods that are available.

Check out Local Harvest [www.localharvest.org] and put in your ZIP code for farmers markets and community supported agriculture (CSA) farms near you. In addition to fresh fruits and vegeta-bles, many of these markets carry meats, baked goods, herbs and organic teas. Ask before you buy: Even if a farmer doesn’t yet have his offi cial “organic” certifi cation, it could well be that he’s

in the process of doing so and hasn’t sprayed any pesticides.

Buy pasta, nuts and dried fruit in bulk if you have a means of storage. Use your freezer to store oth-er foods.

Shop around and compare prices between CSAs, farmers markets, co-ops, buying clubs and your grocery store.

If necessary, take it one step at a time as you learn which items you can leave out of your standard menu and replace with organic choices.

Ask for discounts, even at a farmers market, es-pecially if buying in bulk.

The benefi t to you in moving toward organic? The food you put on your table tonight might have been picked a few miles away this morn-ing.

THEMARRIAGE ZONE:

PATERNITY

IT’STHELAW!

by Christopher C. Meyer,Attorney at Law, P.C.

By Christopher C. Meyer © May 2007

Challenging the paternity of a child in a family law case involves such basic is-sues as whether junior really is junior. If

you are concerned that you may not be the actual biological father of a child, you should address this concern at your earliest opportunity in the legal proceeding you are involved in. This op-portunity typically arises in a child support case or a divorce case.

To understand the law of paternity it is important to understand that there are strong policy reasons that favor a fi nding that your are the father. The strongest reason is to make sure that a father is available to support the child in order to secure the health, welfare, and happiness of the child. Another strong policy reason favoring paternity is the fi nality of judgments. People should be

able to understand their rights under a judgment and should not have to worry about future events changing their rights.

If you are involved in a child support case or a divorce case and you don’t raise the issue of pa-ternity in that case, you will be determined to be the father. There is nothing you can do about it later, even if it is scientifi cally determined at a later date that you are not the father!

For example, you are involved in a child sup-port case. You do not raise the issue of paternity, because you mistakenly believe that you are the biological father of the child. The Court orders you to pay child support. More than six months pass after the order is entered. You then discover as a result of genetic testing done for some medi-cal reasons that you are not the biological father. You cannot successfully fi ght your paternity of

this child in a legal action. Legally, you are the father and that is that.

Paternity law is like any other law. You must re-member that: you may not understand the law; you may not like it; and you may not think its fair; but it’s the law!
