Inexpensive staple can serve many cleaning purposes SUSAN MELGREN Mother Earth Living A staple in any pantry, vinegar is a multi- tasking wonder with a rich history of use for everything from making pickles to treating war wounds. The ancient Babylonians used it to preserve food; medics during World War I treated wounds with it; and Roman armies di- luted it with water to create an everyday anti- bacterial drink. Today, versatile vinegar is still widely used in food preservation, but its house- hold uses extend well beyond pickling. Thanks to its acidity and neutralizing properties, vine- gar can clean, disinfect, soften, shine and more. Use it from the kitchen to the bathroom, in everything from homemade cleaners to hair rinses, to take full advantage of this humble household wonder. 1. Grease Cutter: Vinegar’s acidity lets it cut through grease with ease. Dip a sponge in vine- gar and wipe to degrease stovetops, mi- crowaves, dirty dishes and more. 2. Disinfectant: A natural antibacterial, vine- gar makes a great base for any nontoxic clean- ing solution. For an all-purpose disinfecting solution, dilute 1 part vinegar in 4 parts water and use anywhere germs are found, such as countertops, keyboards, shared phones, door- knobs and remote controls. 3. Toilet Bowl Cleaner: Clean, disinfect and deodorize your toilet by pouring 1 cup of vine- gar around the inside of the bowl. Let sit for an hour, use a brush to remove rings, then flush.

FAMILY FEATURES ports nutrition isn’t just the domain of professional athletes — for a good workout and quick recovery, every - Sday athletes need the right diet, too. “A good workout is draining and can lead to fatigue and sore muscles,” said Michele Macedonio, R.D., C.S.S.D., L.D. a veteran sports nutritionist and team dieti- tian for the Cincinnati Reds. “The right combination of foods helps restore energy and nutrients used during exercise, and prepares your body for the next workout.” Dishes such as these from CanolaInfo provide complex carbohydrates, fiber and protein with nutrition-packed ingredients including whole grains, beans, nuts, fruits and plenty of vegetables. Each delicious recipe contains less than 300 calories per serving and is prepared with heart-smart canola oil to supply healthy unsaturated fats, including monounsatu rated and omega-3 fats.

Know the Score  Make friends with fat: Fat is an important energy source for athletes, but it’s important to choose healthy fats. Canola oil, for example, provides a valuable source of unsaturated fats, including monounsaturated and omega-3 fats.  Pump up protein: Maximize muscle growth with a snack that contains carbo- hydrates plus 10 to 20 grams of protein consumed within 15 to 30 minutes after a workout, when muscle is most receptive to growing.  Don’t ignore complex carbs: Athletes need healthy carbohydrates, the preferred source of energy for active muscles. Whole grains, beans, vegetables and fruit are good sources.  Feed the furnace: Running on empty? Your body needs consistent fuel to func- tion. A small pre-workout snack may improve your workout performance. Liquid foods such as smoothies digest more quickly than solids, which makes them ideal pre- or post-workout for energy, hydration and restoring nutrients.

ith the new year underway, there is a heavy focus around resolutions. Whether you are making a resolution to celebrate a fresh start or looking to make a change no matter the time of year, maintaining resolutions can be difficult. In fact, a recent survey from Bank of America found that 49 percent of respondents don’t make WNew Year’s resolutions because they prefer to set goals throughout the year. Goals tied to the new year, and those set at various points in the year, are all aimed at making significant life changes. According to the survey, 81 percent of resolutions involve health and fitness, 45 percent involve personal finances and 30 percent are targeted toward making changes in social life and relationships. With the large number of people planning to make changes in their finances, it is helpful to determine how to best ensure you achieve your goal. “I’ll be the first to admit keeping to a financial resolution takes a lot of hard work. It takes good behavior and good habits,” said Farnoosh Torabi, a consumer finance expert. “With life being so complicated, stressful and complex, we often abandon them. Get the systems in place — the small steps you need to take now — to help you get on the right track.” Research shows that consumers who understand their behaviors and motivations are more likely to build and keep posi- tive habits for the long term. That’s why it’s so important to have strategies to keep those financial resolutions throughout the year. A few pointers to stick with your financial resolutions include: Prepare before Write it down your resolution begins Forty percent of survey respondents say they use written reminders to help stay on track with their resolutions. Try Putting thought into your resolutions before you spring into writing your resolutions on Post-it notes, in Evernote, in action can put you on the path to change.

TALLAHASSEE — The Florida A&M Uni- versity (FAMU) community along with state, county and city officials honored the legacy and vision of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at FAMU’s an- nual convocation, which was held Jan. 15 in celebration of the civil rights icon’s life and work. Former U.S. Con- gressman and FAMU alumnus Kendrick B. Meek delivered the keynote address. With conviction and passion Meek encour- aged Rattlers, of young and old, to be the real- ity of King’s dream.

SUSIE MORRIS Times Sports Correspondent Girls basketball for all FHSAA member schools enters the final week of competition this week, as they finalize their seasons and enter district tournament competition next week. In the final week to play district games to de- termine district tournament seeding, both East Gadsden and Munroe picked up key district wins. EAST GADSDEN The Jaguars blasted both of their opponents last week. First they defeated Taylor County for a district win using a 28-point second quarter to surge to a 66-22 behind Shanecia Bethea’s 23 points. Sharieka Gaymon and Deambrenique Davis each added 12 points. In a non-district contest, the Jaguars outscored Jefferson County in every quarter to win easily 60-19. They led 38-7 at the half and 10 players scored in the easy win. East Gads- den was led in scoring by Sharieka Gaymon with 16 points and Deambrenique Davis’ 11 points. The team moved to 13-5 on the season with the two wins. MUNROE The Munroe Lady Cats had little offense to offer Poplar Springs last Tuesday night, drop- ping the contest 48-18. On Thursday night they travelled to North Florida Christian and lost to the Lady Eagles. Kadejah Glynn scored 11 and Anna Jones pulled down 10 rebounds. Munroe was playing their first game without leading rebounder, Mary Pat Thomas, who will miss the rest of the season with an ankle sprain that occurred in the Poplar Springs game earlier in the week. Friday night before a homecoming crowd, the Lady Cats defeated district rival Aucilla Christian Academy 36-32. The game was tight for all four quarters, with Munroe taking a 24- 20 into the locker room at the half. Guards Jeri Sloan and Maddey Pappadakis combined for 23 points. Jones again led in rebounding with nine and Karleebeth Perkins and Sloan pulled down eight each. Sloan also had four steals. Munroe moved to 5-11 overall after a 1-2 week.

LATE HUNTS Most hunters hunt the first few days or weekends of the season and then bag their deer, simply give up, or run out of time. The places they hunted have been undisturbed for a while and the local deer know this. Look for areas that have received little disturbance since mid-season and secluded feeding areas. Areas that have had little to no hunting pressure are prime late season hunting hot spots. If you have set blinds, stands, or areas that you or others typically hunt in your area, get away from them! Deer pattern people as much or more than people pattern deer. Mature whitetail bucks know the weak spots in your “normal” game plan.
