Q: The windows in my new apartment have curtain brackets installed on either side of all the windows, but they are either warped or broken. I’m not very confident that I can put up new brackets. Any tips? -- Sarah, via email

A: Sure. Tip one: don’t be nervous about placing new brackets. Tip two: measure twice, cut (or drill) once. Putting up outside-mounted curtains can seem difficult, but it’s a great home-improvement project for begin-

ners that can boost confidence while making your apartment considerably more awesome.You’ll need a few simple tools: a tape measure (one of the big locking ones is ideal) and a level (very inex-

pensive, but indispensible for getting the brackets set up in line). Buy a corded power drill, or borrow one from a friend, along with a set of drill bits. And keep one flat-head and one Phillips-head screwdriver on hand, too. You’ll also need a small ladder or stepladder to work safely.

Measure the height that the curtains must reach. If you want floor-length curtains, measure from the floor to the top of the window molding (the wooden “frame” around the window opening). Add about 4-6 inches to that measurement to get the correct height of curtains you need. (Most ready-made curtains come in standard sizes, with 84 inches the norm for floor-length.)

Measure the width of the window from one side of the molding to the other.Next, buy new brackets and curtain

rods (and curtains, if you don’t have them already). The rods should be long enough to extend 3-6 inches past the window on each side. The brackets need to be tough enough to hold up heavy curtains (that’s part of the reason why your old brackets are partially torn out of the wall). You also may want to buy plastic wall anchors; bracket screws go through these to better hold the brackets in place.

Really long curtain rods often come with an additional bracket placed at the center of the rod to keep it from warping downward. Take the hint and install this center bracket if it’s included.

To set up the new brackets, measure and mark a point 6 inches above the window molding and another one 3-6 inches past the molding, on both sides of the window. Use the level to ensure that the points are in line with each other. Make sure the new brackets aren’t placed in the same spot as the old ones.

Place the new bracket so the top part touches the outer mark you just made. Use a pencil and mark the drill holes for the bracket. Do the same on the other side. Re-measure and level the two points. Then, pre-drill guide holes for the bracket, using a drill bit one size smaller than the bracket’s screws.

Hold the bracket in place over the pre-drilled holes, and place the screws, using the screwdriver to hand-tighten. If using a screw anchor, screw that into the wall first, then hold the bracket in place and thread the screw into the plastic anchor. (The anchor will pop open on the backside of the wallboard.)

Double-check the placement of the second bracket one last time, then screw it into the wall. If a center bracket is needed, add that as well.

Now, all that’s left is to put the curtains onto the rod, and lift the rod into place on the brackets. An easy task!

GONE TO LUNCHPublisher's Corner by Sean Athey

Hello All! Hope you are doing well!So... the high hopes for an "after" picture of the garage cleaning

project fell through this week. I did spend a couple evenings of quality time last week basically moving things around. You know how the mess seems to get bigger before you get a handle

on it... I guess you'll have to settle for a "during" picture this week.

My wife, Lynette, and I talk a lot about the first "domino" that each project has. The first domino is the one thing that leads to the next level of completion. For ex-ample, I have to move the stereo that is under the work bench in the garage. Now, of course, I can't just grab it and go... well not in my a garage any-way... so, in order to get to it I have to move the boxes of canning jars, but the canning jars need to

go to the basement. The spot for the jars is currently occupied by several stacks of books that need to be put in boxes. The boxes I need to use have recycling in them. So... by way of the "garage domino effect", if I need to get the stereo out, the first thing I have to do is take the recycling in... makes sense, right?

We did get a bit more canning done this week... beans mostly. Nice to have them on the shelves. We hope everyone's gardening ad-ventures have been good this summer!

Thanks for reading the issue of Tidbits of the Lake Area, Lynette and I appreciate it very much! Watch out for those school kids, and we'll see you next issue!!

• “Wet a plain kitchen sponge and place it in a zip-lock baggie in the freezer. It’s great for bumps and bruises, tired eyes and overheated kids.” -- V.I. in New Hampshire

• Always rest your bar soap on a sponge. You won’t have a soap slime problem ever again, and the soap stays put. When the sponge starts to look questionable, you can replace it or just toss it in the wash with your towels.

• “Sunday dinner is great for so many reasons, as our family reserves this day to be together at mealtime. It also has become a day to touch base on appointments and obligations for the coming week. We discuss what each of us has going on upcoming, and we post our schedules on the fridge on Sunday evening. This way, we can help one another and keep each of us account-able. It works for us!” -- A.A. in California

• “A really nice gift for a family with young children is a family membership to a local science and history museum. It’s a gift that keeps on giving, and it’s very flexible, because with a membership, you can go all day or just a few hours to keep it light.” -- C.W. in Virginia

• A great way to organize in the kitchen is to use the space on the inside of your cabinet doors. You can in-stall a metal sheet (to stick magnetic items to), a chalk-board, a small rack or a section of a pocket organizer. The possibilities are endless.

been thinking? If so, it might make you feel bet-ter to consider the case of a pilot named Thomas Fitzpatrick. In 1956, he was drinking at a bar in New York City when a rather boisterous argument ensued regarding his flying ability. To prove his skills to his drinking buddies, Fitzpatrick went to New Jersey, stole a small plane and landed it on the street in front of the Manhattan bar -- all while allegedly drunk. The story, remarkable as it is, doesn’t end there, however. A couple of years later he was boasting about the incident, but his story was met with disbelief. To prove himself once again, he repeated the stunt.

Q: I have four saucers, four teacups and a sugar and creamer in Royal Ruby glass. It has such a beautiful color, I am curious about how it was made. -- Raynette, Springdale, Ark.

A: Although the ancient Egyptians were known to make red glass, most of the pieces seen in American shops and antiques malls are of fairly recent vintage. The 1920s and ‘30s saw pieces being manufactured, and after a lull, production picked up again during the 1940s when Anchor Hocking introduced its pattern of Royal Ruby. The company used copper to achieve its rich color. Some of this type of glass used gold, but its use was, of course, much more expensive to produce. This glass was made in a variety of hues, from the deep-red colors of ruby to the lighter shades of cranberry.

The Royal Ruby glass produced by Anchor Hocking is plentiful and fairly inexpensive. Most collectors are especially interested in the pre-World War II pieces. Prices vary, but I would think your teacups and saucers are worth about $35 for the set, the sugar and creamer about half that amount.

• On Sept. 2, 31 B.C., at the Battle of Actium, Roman leader Octavian wins a decisive victory against the forces of Mark Antony and Cleopatra, queen of Egypt. Antony and Cleopatra broke though the enemy lines and fled to Egypt, where they would commit suicide the following year.

• On Sept. 3, 1777, the American flag was flown in battle for the first time during a Revolutionary War skirmish at Cooch’s Bridge, Delaware. Patriot Gen. William Maxwell ordered the “Stars and Stripes” banner raised as a detach-ment of his infantry and cavalry met an advance guard of British and Hessian troops.

• On Sept. 1, 1807, former U.S. vice president Aaron Burr is acquitted of plotting to annex parts of Louisiana and Span-ish territory in Mexico to be used toward the establishment of an independent republic. Nevertheless, public opinion condemned him as a traitor, and he fled to Europe.

• On Sept. 7, 1896, an electric car built by the Riker

GO BIG BLUE!

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I wanted to pass along a sugges-tion to your readers. Last summer, we moved to a new city. The day after we moved in, our cat “Lace” became critically ill in the middle of the night. With no Internet connection set up, my wife used her slow, older smartphone to look up a 24-hour emergency clinic. We found one that was a 30-minute drive away. Lace got there in time and has recovered pretty well, but it haunts me that it took us nearly 20 minutes to look up the location of that clinic.

Please tell your readers that they should write down the number and address of their pet’s regular veterinarian and the nearest emergency vet clinic on their list of important numbers, and keep it next to their home phone or saved on their cellphone. If they are moving to a new area, they should look up the clinics nearest their new home and have that information ready just in case something happens while they’re settling in. -- Curtis, via email

Emergency Call List Should Include Pets

DEAR CURTIS: You told them, and I thank you! This is an era when many people no longer have a phonebook waiting for them on the day they move in (something that was almost standard 20 or so years ago). Instead, we rely on Internet and cellphone connections to get critical infor-mation.

The plus side of having an Internet connection is being able to look up important locations -- such as the vet, the emergency clinic, the doctor and dentist ... and the nearest pizza place -- before leaving your old city.

Having a contact list, both on paper and stored on your

computer or cellphone, also is important in an emergency such as a house fire or a natural disaster.

Q: My daughter’s husband came from a family that included early tobacco plantation owners in the Carolinas. As a result, he inherited a beautiful bedspread made from the fibers of the tobacco plant. Would you have any idea of its value? -- Donald, Sun City West, Ariz.

A: The short answer is no. This is a unique item, and if you truly want to determine its value, it is necessary to hire the ser-vices of a professional appraiser. Since you live near Phoenix, you also might contact The Phoenix Art Museum, which has an outstanding textile collection, and one of its experts.

• • •Q: I have a John Deere toy tractor. It is the Overtime model,

1:16 scale and green in color. I think I got it for a birthday pres-ent in about 1995. Any value? -- Ken, Madison, Wisc.

A: I found your tractor referenced in “The Standard Cata-logue of Farm Toys: Identification and Price Guide,” edited by Karen O’Brien and published by Krause Books. According to O’Brien, your toy was manufactured in 1994 and is valued in the $13 to $27 range, depending on its condition.

Hail to kale! I’m not sure what brought the green, leafy, good-for-you veggie into such

renown, but try to open a foodie magazine or blog without some recipe bow-ing to its virtues. I’ve been following the trend and now dutifully toss it into stir fries and salads, and even let it stand alone all spiced up in our family’s

most recent obsession -- kale chips. While kale chip recipes abound, I found the best,

foolproof technique from Tricia Cornell, mom of two, freelance writer and author of the book “Eat More Vegetables: Making the Most of Your Season-al Produce” (Minnesota Historical Society Press).

The cookbook is chock full of easy-to-follow “family friendly, get kids involved” veggie recipes such as her tasty take on “Squash Chili” and “Soupe au Pistou.” True to form, she has the kale-chip-making technique down to a science. “When my kids clamor for kale chips, who am I to refuse?” she said as her 7-year-old old son Arlo chopped up the kale, and 9-year-old Nora grated Parmesan for the chips that would accompany their hamburger slid-ers supper. “I want the chips to be tasty and crispy every time we make them,” she said.

Pick up a bunch at your local market and enjoy making and tasting these light, crunchy treats with your kids.

Make Kale Chips With KidsCHEESY KALE CHIPS

Makes 4 cups

1 large bunch kale (12 ounces) both Lacinato and curly kale work well.1 tablespoon olive or canola oil1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or 1/2 teaspoon pepper flakes

Here’s the fun:1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F.2. Trim off the long, tough center stems from kale and discard.

Slice leaves into 1- to 2-inch pieces and place in a large bowl. Pour oil, cheese, salt and pepper over kale, and massage kale well with your hands, making sure every piece is covered, but not dripping with oil.

3. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and spread kale in a single layer. Place in oven and immediately reduce heat to 250 F.

4. Bake about 20 minutes, until crisp, stirring kale and turning pans halfway through. It’s important to keep an eagle eye toward the end; you want crisp, not brown.

5. When completely cool, serve. If there are any leftovers, store in airtight container up to three days.

Variation: Barbecue Kale ChipsOmit Parmesan and pepper. Stir 1 teaspoon pimenton de la vera

(smoked Spanish paprika) and 1/2 teaspoon sugar into the salt be-fore adding.
