Clean as you go
Weekly SUDOKU
"'I'm getting out of the way. Your
mother is in the kitchen," my hus-
band said to our daughter.
l glanced at him and my daughter
=lgJed.
"She's going to make a huge
mess for me to clean up," he added.
As a result of that comment, 1
took out a few extra pails to make
sure 1 lived up to the expectation. I
"'accidentally" spilled some flour o13

paic iuod pretty quickly.
With our new, dark-colored coun-
tertops, flour, sugar and other light-
colored ingredients show up much
too well. Fingerprints magically ap-
pear on our stainless steel fridge.
Splatters of food materialize on the
walls of tile microwave.
Everyone inhabits the kitchen, so
l'm not taking full credit for the
daily wear and tear that goes on in
our kitchen. Because it's the start of
a new year, I decided to set a kitchen
cleaning goal. 1 am going to try to
clean as I go and encourage my fam-
ily to do the same.
To inspire myself on my clean-as-
you-go mission, I went to the clean-
ing experts at the American Cleaning
Institute tk)r some tips. 1 immediately
found the results of their study about
the prevalence of spring cleaning.
According to tile American
Cleaning Institute's 2012 snrvey, 62
percent of the 1,000 respondents said
they spring clean every year and 73
percent agreed it was a tradition
worth keeping. Further. 55 percent
agreed with the survey statement, "If
it wasn't for spring cleaning, I would
probably never clean my house."
I actually was inspired by the sur-
vey, but I am not planning to wait
until spring to work on my resolu-
lion.
In a kitchen, you have the poten-
tial for food safety issues. Bacteria,
including salmonella and E. colt,
easily can spread from meat to other
surfaces such as cutting boards, your
hands, utensils and plates. Cross-
contamination is a leading cause of
foodborne illness.
By definition, cleaning removes
food, soil and other visible contami-
nants from various kitchen surfaces.
Sanitizing takes the process one step
further and reduces the number of in-
in your kitchen
I admit it. I'm kind
of a messy cook,
but, in my defense, I
can prepare food
pretty quickly.
visible contaminants, including bac-
teria and other potential illness-caus-
ing organisms.
For example, after cleaning cut-
ting boards in hot, soapy water and
rinsing them with plain water, don't
forget to sanitize them. Make a
bleach solution in your sink with 1
tablespoon of bleach per gallon of
water. Immerse the clean cutting
board in the solution for a couple of
minutes, remove (but don't rinse
again) and allow to air-dry.
Cleaners may be abrasive or
nonabrasive. Abrasive cleaners help
remove burned-on or dried food par-
ticles, but they may scratch or other-
wise damage kitchen surfaces,
including countertops and appli-
ances, permanently. Nonabrasive
cleaners are best used on satin or
high-gloss finishes.
Always read and follow the di-
rections and precautions on all types
of cleaners. You also can use some
common household "kitchen ingre-
dients" as cleaners. Vinegar and
water can function as a quick floor
cleaner, and baking soda can work as
a mild abrasive cleaner.
As I polished the outside of the
refrigerator, I checked the interior
for some leftovers that could be
combined into a new recipe. We
found a delicious jambalaya recipe
that helped us clean out the refriger-
ator and have a nutritious meal on
the table in short order. You might
like it, too.
Yes. my husband did the dishes.
He's a good guy.

DIFFICULTY THIS WEEK: * * *
-I:ax fiiing season starts Jan. 30
WASHINGTON - Following the
January tax law changes made by
Congress under the American Tax-
payer Relief Act (ATRA), the Inter-
nal Revenue Service announced
today it plans to open the 2013 filing
season and begin processing indi-
vidual income tax returns on Jan. 30.
The IRS will begin accepting tax
returns on that date after updating
forms and completing programming
and testing of its processing systems.
This will reflect the bulk of the late
tax law changes enacted Jan. 2. The
announcement means that the vast
majority of tax fliers -- more than
120 million households -- should be
able to start filing tax returns start-
ing Jan 30.
The IRS estimates that remaining
households will be able to start fil-
ing in late February or into March
because of the need for more exten-
sive form and processing s3stems
changes• This group includes people
claiming residential energy credits,
depreciation of property or general
business credits. Most of those in
this group file more complex tax re-
turns and typically file closer to the
April 15 deadline or obtain an ex-
tension.
"'We have worked hard to open
tax season as soon as possible," IRS
Acting Commissioner Steven T.
Miller said. "This date ensures we
have the time we need to update and
test our processing systems."
The IRS will not process paper
tax returns before the anticipated
Jan. 30 opening date. There is no ad-
vantage to filing on paper before the
opening date, and taxpayers will re-
ceive their tax refunds much faster
by using e-file with direct deposit.
"'The best option for taxpayers is
to file electronically," Miller said.
The opening of the filing season
follows passage by Congress of an
extensive set of tax changes in
ATRA on Jan. 1, 2013, with many
affecting tax returns for 2012. While
the IRS worked to anticipate the late
tax law changes as much as possible,
the final law required that the IRS
update forms and instructions as well
as make critical processing system
adjustments before it can begin ac-
cepting tax returns.
The IRS originally planned to
open electronic filing this year on
Jan. 22; more than 80 percent of tax-
payers filed electronically last year.
Who Can File Starting Jan. 30?
The IRS anticipates that the vast
majority of all taxpayers can file
starting Jan. 30, regardless of
whether they file electronically or on
pape r. The IRS will be able to accept
tax returns affected by the late Alter-
native Minimum Tax (AMT) patch
as well as the three major "extender"
provisions for people claiming the
state and local sales tax deduction,
higher education tuition and fees de-
duction and educator expenses de-
duction.
Who Can't File Until Later?
There are several forms affected
by the late legislation that require
more extensive programming and
testing of IRS systems. The IRS
hopes to begin accepting tax returns
including these tax forms between
late February and into March, a spe-
cific date will be announced in the
near future.
The key forms that require more
extensive programming changes in-
clude Form 5695 (Residential En-
ergy Credits), Form 4562
(Depreciation and Amortization) and
Form 3800 (General Business
Credit). A filll listing of the forms
that won't be accepted until later is
available on IRS.gov.

Buc victories over
Defense keys win over Titans
DICKINSON - The Lady Bucs
ran primarily a half-court man de-
fense to make sure the likes of hot
shooting guard, Rachel Jahner. did-
n't get the freedom from the full-
court. In that half-court defense,
Hailee Farstveet stayed with her all
evening holding her to a lone 3-
pointer late in the game.
The game began with a barrage of
fouls that sent Bailey Waldal to the
bench, picking up two quick fouls in-
side three minutes. There were more
fouls in the game than points on both
skies for the first three minutes. The
Bucs finally settled down and played
defense without fouling and holding
the Titans to only four points in the
first quarter taking a 14-4 lead.
The second quarter wasn't as
good for Beach as they were
outscored by their opponent 12-10
and headed into the locker room
holding on to a 24-16 advantage.
The Running Bucs seemed to
have loosened up a bit running off 20
points to only two from Dickinson
Trinity. When it seemed that Dickin-
son Trinity was to make its run. the
Buccaneers would answer with a 3-
pointer that put a stop to any come-
back. Cid Stedman also became a
tough match-up, scoring fi'om the
post and then stepping out to drill a
3-pointer or deliver a pass that ended
up a lay-up.
It was another 20-point quarter
that doomed the Titans and by the
end of the game, the Bucs rang up ten
3-pointers outside of the arc that net-
ted a Region 7 Buccaneer win.

Our Trinity game felt really dif-
ferent with much of our team fight-
ing the flu and cold sypmtoms and
also coming from a Christmas vaca-
tion lay-off. We practiced over the
holiday break, but it is never the
same compared to playing a game.
We had some turnovers that were
uncharacteristic of our team, but as I
told Coaches Thilmony and Poplin-
ski, it was the rust that comes from
not playing games. Having stated
that, during the first half, our kids had
only 10 turnovers for the entire game,
which turned out to be a very good
performance. We would take those
statistics anytime.
Titans and Beulah
Our full-court press isn't any
where close to where we want to be
because we are not making traps up
front. We are going to need to spend
more time with that part of our press
in order to make it effective.
We were really happy with the
performances of first time starter
Karl Schmeling and reserve Chantel
Fulton. Their chemistry was great
and I think that they gained a lot of
confidence. That confidence and
chemistry is going to make us a bet-
ter team as we move forward to a
very tough January schedule.
Bucs rain 3-pointers over Beu-
lah
BEACH - Last Tuesday night, the
"Running Bucs" entertained the
home crowd with an 89-28 victory
that witnessed 15 3-pointers scored
by six different individual players
from the home team.
In the first half, the Lady Bucs
scorched the nets with 8 of 12 from
outside the arc to build up a 56-9
lead. It was the second straight game
that the Buccaneer team netted 10 or
more outside the arc.
Hailee Farstveet led the way in
scoring, knocking down tour 3-point-
ers and ending the game with 25
points. Right behind her was Bailey
Waldal and Cid Stedman with 23 and
22 points, respectively.

Beach: Hailee Farstveet 25, Bai-
ley Waldal 23, Cydni Stedman 22,
Karl Schmeling 8, Ashlynn Dietz 6,
Chantel Fulton 5.
3-pointers: Beulah 2 (Iverson 2),
Beach 15 (Farstveet 4, Stedman 4,
Dietz 2, Schmeling 2, Waldal 2, Ful-
ton 1). Free throws: Beulah 3-6.
Beach 6-9. Total fouls: Beulah 11,
Beach 14. Records: Beach 4-2. Beu-
lah 2-6.
The shooting of the team has been
phenomenal the past couple of
games. Our kids dropped in 25 3-
pointers. 15 of them against Beulah
and t0 against Trinity at the Knights
of Columbus Activity Center.
With all that said, we coaches
have really been noticing the "chem-
istry" that this team is putting to-
getl'et.''"S'0me of our-players have
been together since the third grade
when this group began playing to-
gether. It really shows as everyone
looks so comfortable out on the
court.
