Extracurricular could help improve school performance
P
arents and students who
want to improve grades
and classroom perform-
ance may want to look to ex-
tracurricular activities. There is
evidence that some after-school
activities can actually help pro-
mote better results inside of the
classroom -- even helping to
mediate symptoms of Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
Activities like dance, sports,
band, cheerleading, martial
arts, among other extracurricu-
lar events, can promote good
feelings about school and offer
lessons that carry over into the
classroom environment, help-
ing students become more suc-
cessful. A study by the U.S. De-
partment of Education revealed
that students who participate in
co-curricular activities are three
times more likely to have a
grade point average of 3.0 or
better than students who do
not participate in co-curricular
activities. In a 2003 study pub-
lished in Sociology of Educa-
tion, researchers found that
there are positive associations
between extracurricular partic-
ipation and academic achieve-
ment. Many adolescents who
participate in extracurricular
activities report higher grades,
more positive attitudes toward
school and higher academic as-
pirations. Extracurricular activ-
ities also may be able to correct
behaviors associated with bois-
terous children or those who
have been diagnosed with a
clinical medical condition,
such as ADHD. In a study ti-
tled, "The Effects of Mixed
Martial Arts on Behavior of
Male Children with Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder,"
researchers found that a martial
arts program two times per
week helped increase the per-
centage of completed home-

W
ith minimum re-
modeling savvy
and a modest
budget, it's possible to change
some items in the home to be
more in tune with personal
style. Although many home-
owners gravitate toward new
paint colors or furnishings to
revamp the look of different
rooms in the home, replacing
tired-looking doors is another
affordable option. The
switching out of doors can be
a high-impact project for lit-
tle cost. Think about the
room in the house where the
door(s) add little appeal. Per-
haps a bathroom door has
been marred with holes from
a former towel rack. A bed-
room with simple, flat doors
may lack panache. Some
doors have been warped by
moisture or have been dam-
aged. These eyesores can be
replaced.
A trip to the hardware or
home improvement store can
yield a number of options in
new doors. Hollow core doors
are typically more affordable
than solid wood doors. If cost
is a factor, select among the
various styles in hollow de-
signs.
Switching out a door can
be a challenging endeavor
and is often easiest as a two-
person job. Some people sim-
ply use the old door as a
template for the new door.
Remember, not all doors are
the same size (width and
height) as the existing door
opening. Therefore, some
cutting and fitting will be
necessary.
Here are some steps to
follow.
1. Measure the width and
height of the old door. Many
doors are a standard width of
13/8 inches, though older
doors may be different in
width.
2. Doors are sold as pre-hung
doors or door blanks. Pre-
hung ones are surrounded by a
jamb. When using these
doors, measure accordingly
taking the jamb under consid-
eration. Blanks are simply the
door with no holes for hinges
or locksets already included.

Dress up a home with an interior door remodel
continued on page 20
3. Remove the old door by
taking out the hinge pins,
starting from the bottom and
working up. You may need a
screwdriver and a hammer to
tap out stubborn pins. Keep
the pins in a safe spot.
4. Lay the old door on top of
the new door and trace the di-
mensions for cutting. Be sure
to line up the lockset edge so
things will line up. There
should be 1/8 inch clearance
on the sides of the door and
5/8 inch clearance on the
bottom.
5. Use a circular saw to cut
the door accurately. If only a
little needs to be removed
from the door, consider using
a hand plane instead. If you
need to remove more than 1
inch, take half off the bottom
and top of the door so it will
be even.
6. Place the old door back on
top of the new. Mark the loca-
tion of the hinge mortices (the
recessed area and holes where
the hinges will fit) with a util-
ity knife and straight edge.
7. Lightly chisel out the hinge
mortices so that they are the
right thickness to house the
hinge hardware. Test the
hinge in the mortice.
8. Test the door's fit within
the opening to ensure all cuts
are accurate. Plane areas if
there is anything that is off or
if the door rubs.
9. Mark and drill the space for
the lockset and doorknob. Test
the fit.
10. Attach the new door and
interlace the hinges. Have a
helper put in the hinge pins.
11. Put in the knob and be
sure the entire set up works
correctly.
12. Enjoy the new door.

Easy pizza dough
Milk replaces water in this
recipe to add flavor to the
dough. If milk isn't available,
substitute with water.
4 cups bread or all-purpose white
flour
11/4 cups lukewarm milk
21/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup additional milk
1. Preheat oven to 450 F.
2. Prepare the dough "starter." In
a large liquid measuring cup, add
the 11/4 cups warm milk, 1 tea-
spoon sugar and the yeast. Stir
and set aside for 5 minutes.
Allow the starter to foam up,
which is called proofing.
3. In a large mixing bowl, add
the flour and make a well in the
center of the flour. Add the salt.
Mix to combine well.
4. Mix the starter with the re-
maining milk, olive oil and the
flour in the mixing bowl until
combined and a little sticky.
5. Either turn out the dough
onto a floured surface and knead
by hand for 8 minutes to get a
smooth, elastic, rubbery dough
ball, or use a stand mixer with a
dough hook to knead.
6. Put the kneaded dough in a
bowl and drizzle with some olive
oil. Cover the dough with a
damp towel or plastic wrap.
Allow to rise around an hour, or
until it doubles in size. The rate
of rising will depend on the tem-
perature in the house and the
potency of the yeast.
7. Sprinkle cornmeal on the bot-
tom of the pizza pan. Deflate the
dough and press into the pan.
Stretch and flatten as necessary.
8. Top with sauce, cheese and fa-
vorite toppings. Bake for about
12 to 15 minutes, or until the
bottom of the pizza looks slightly
browned.
P
opular among Hispanics
and non-Hispanics alike,
Mexican cuisine can be
enjoyed at breakfast, lunch and
dinner. Juevos rancheros can be
a great way to begin your day,
tacos make an ideal and easily
prepared lunch, and burritos are
a fulfilling option at dinner
time.
For those who want to cel-
ebrate their love of Mexican
cuisine with a fiesta for family
and friends, consider the follow-
ing recipe for "Beef and Chipo-
tle Burritos" from the Better
Homes and Gardens "New
Cook Book" (Meredith Books).
Beef and Chipotle Burritos
Makes 6 burritos
11/2 pounds boneless beef
round steak, cut 3/4-inch thick
1 14.5 ounce can diced toma-
toes, un-drained
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 to 2 canned chipotle peppers
in adobo sauce, chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano,
crushed
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 clove garlic, minced
6 9- to 10-inch tomato-flavored
or plain flour tortillas, warmed
3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar
cheese (3 ounces)
1 recipe Pico de Gallo Salsa (see
below)
Shredded jicama or radishes
(optional)
Dairy sour cream (optional)
1. Trim fat from meat. Cut meat
into six pieces. In a 31/2- or 4-
quart slow cooker place meat,
un-drained tomatoes, onion,
chipotle pepper, oregano, cumin
and garlic.
2. Cover and cook on low-heat
setting for 8 to 10 hours or on
high-heat setting for 4 to 5
hours. Remove meat from slow
cooker. Using two forks pull
meat apart into shreds. Place
shredded meat in a large bowl.
Stir in enough cooking liquid to
reach desired consistency. Di-
vide meat among warm tortillas,
spooning it just below the cen-
ters. Top with cheese, Pico de
Gallo Salsa, and, if desired, ji-
cama and sour cream. Roll up
tortillas.

t's called "curb appeal,"
that good impression
people get of your home
when they pull up in a car, or
when walking by. Real estate
agents can be as pleased with
exterior curb appeal as they
are with a well-maintained

judged by its cover.
Exterior trouble areas

hough the housing
market might not be
booming, there are still
buyers out there looking for a
place to call their own. Some
potential sellers might prefer a
patient approach to selling
their homes, choosing to do so
when the market rebounds and
homes regain some of their lost
value. Other sellers might not
have a choice and must make
due with selling in a lackluster
market.
Regardless of which cate-
gory you're in, there are easy
ways to boost your home's
value. Making minor changes
to a home can add to your ask-
ing price, whether you're put-
ting your home on the market
this week or waiting for the
market to rebound. The fol-
lowing tasks might not take
much effort, but they pay divi-
dends.
* Work on the yard. An
appealing lawn is still a great
way to catch a prospective
buyer's eye. When a home
boasts a lush lawn and well-
manicured trees, it's hard to ig-
nore that For Sale sign out
front. If landscaping has
proven an Achilles' heel in the
past, make an effort to take
better care of your property in
the months ahead. It doesn't
take long for even the most
neglected lawn to rebound
from disrepair. By the time you
feel confident to put that for
sale sign out front, you might
just be putting it up in a lush
lawn no buyer can resist.
* Upgrade appliances.
Prospective buyers won't be
Easy ways to boost home value
continued on page 25
to first impressions just a few
little tips and tricks can
make a big difference
quickly.
"If you're frustrated
about overgrown weeds, for
example, the newest herbi-
cide technology is tackling
that," Drygala continued.
"Now there are alternatives
to traditional herbicides that
effectively kill weeds, but
also provide the homeowner
with options if they are look-
ing for ways to have less im-
pact on the environment.
The formulation for our
Clear Choice selective herbi-
cide, for example, contains
up to 85 percent less active
ingredients as compared to
other products using the
same ingredients. As impor-
tantly, microtechnology built
into the formulation creates
much smaller droplets that
more efficiently deliver the
herbicide to the plant. Clear
Choice is effective on over
60 varieties of broadleaf
weeds, killing them quickly
while being friendly to your
lawn."
In addition to beautify-
ing your lawn, try these
quick tricks to give your
home instant curb appeal:
* Scrape and spot-paint
problem areas. This might be
a temporary fix, but even a
touch up is better than peel-
ing paint.
* Add colour by plant-
ing some annuals in the front
yard flowerbeds.
* Replace or paint rusty
fixtures like the mailbox,
railings, house number, and
more.
* Tackle pesky weeds on
interlock paths and driveway.
Use hand sprays for targeted
jobs, or larger jugs for a big
surface area. More informa-
tion at www.todayscle-
archoice.com.
* Install lighting along
your walkways and steps, or
to spotlight the shape and ar-
chitecture.

thrilled if they walk into a
home and see outdated appli-
ances. Some might even feel
older appliances indicate a
homeowner who cared little
about appearances and might
begin to wonder if there are
any additional areas that might
have been neglected around
the house. Stainless steel appli-
ances in the kitchen and even
new fixtures in the bathroom
are aesthetically appealing and
tend to excite buyers. Home-
owners who aren't immedi-
ately putting their property up
for sale can gradually upgrade
their appliances to lessen some
of the financial toll such pur-
chases take.
* Replace the carpet. A
clean carpet might make a
world of difference to a home's
inhabitants, but a new carpet
will be more appealing to
prospective buyers. Choose a
neutral-toned carpet that will
boast a more universal appeal.
* Paint the home. A fresh
coat of paint or new siding is
always attractive to prospec-
tive buyers. If your home has-
n't had a new coat of paint in
awhile that might make buyers
feel the home is musty or old.
Many buyers judge a book by
its cover, and sellers want their
home's exterior to be as attrac-
tive as possible. Homeowners
can also paint rooms inside the
home to give it a fresh and wel-
coming feel.
* Clean up around the
house. A cluttered house will
almost certainly repel buyers.
Buyers want a home that's
roomy and well kept, but clut-
ter creates the opposite impres-
sion. Organize the closets to
make them appear more roomy
and clean up any areas that
have become cluttered - con-
sider temporarily renting a
storage unit to house excess
stuff from closets. Basements or
utility closets might be handy
for storage, but they should be
open and clean before hosting
an open house. The less clutter
a home has, the more spacious
it will appear and the more
money sellers can likely de-
mand for the home
