Play it smart with spirited parties

Parties catering to adults are often enhanced with a variety of food and beverage options, and alcoholic drinks are a common component of such gatherings. Party hosts and hostesses who will be offering the spirits to their guests should keep safety in the back of their minds.

Many party hosts are unaware that they may be held liable should a person become in-toxicated at their event and then go on to injure another person while under the infl uence. This is why bartenders will stop serving customers who are visibly drunk. Although laws vary from place to place, party hosts should still

keep tabs on their guests’ alcohol consumption, cutting off guests who might have had enough to drink. In addition to monitoring alcohol consumption, party hosts can employ these additional prac-tices to keep everyone safe.

* Collect keys upon entry to the party. Ask guests who plan to drink alcohol to surrender their car keys to you when they arrive at the party. Guests may be offended at having to relinquish control of their cars, but it is a wise move to remove any temp-tation to drive away.

* Remain sober. As the party host, you will have a number of responsibilities, including ensuring your guests’ comfort and safety. Having your wits about you will enable you to make better deci-sions for you and your guests.

* Serve plenty of food. Drink-ing on an empty stomach is a surefi re way to get intoxicated.

Be certain to have a number of foods available and encourage guests to dine before you start serving any alcoholic beverages. This way you can reduce the potentially intoxicating effects the alcohol will have on your guests. Though a full stomach won’t guarantee your guests won’t be-come intoxicated, they are likely to consume less alcohol on a full stomach and the food in their stomach can counter the effects of any alcohol they do consume.

* Keep drinks simple. Some spe-cialty drinks call for more alcohol than others. In addition, fruity drinks can mask the fl avor of the alcohol, causing a person to

drink more than he or she would normally. Serve sim-pler drinks so guests know just how much alcohol they are consum-ing.

* Establish a cut-off

time. Stop serving alcoholic beverages at a certain time. This will give guests time to sober up before the end of the party. The rate at which alcohol leaves the body and enables persons to no longer feel its effects varies depending on age, gender, weight, and even race. Experts advise only having one alcoholic bever-age per hour, which is the average time it takes for that drink to be metabolized. Consuming nonal-coholic drinks between alcoholic beverages will keep blood-alcohol content down.

*Make nonalcoholic beverages available, too. Giving guests op-tions may help them drink more responsibly. Drinking water is a way to fl ush out the system and reduce the effects of alcohol.

Party hosts often make alco-holic beverages available to their guests. Use caution and monitor guests’ drinking so no one gets sick or injured.

When Janet gave me the list of restaurants she wanted me to highlight for the July “A Taste of the Region,” I will admit I was clueless to what adventure lay before me. I love anything pertaining to food and history, so when the two come together, I am one happy writer. Being in the culinary and journalism indus-tries, I love a good food place! To go sit down with the chefs and toss ideas back and forth and the there’s always the best part, eat-ing! Being from Louisiana, I have seen a lot of history and a world full of good culinary delights. One thing I have learned since moving to New York is that there is a never ending abundance of history here in this state and I was about to get the honor of going to see one of the finest in the area. The first place on my list was for

me, a huge challenge, I couldn’t

even pronounce it. Yahnundasis Golf Club in New Hartford was to be my first destination of the day. My first chore was learning how to pronounce it before I got there, hoping that with my southern accent I might not sound too far off from the cor-rect ver-sion, but it was an epic fail, and I was way off. I pictured in my mind that this was going to be a small, simple little golf course, perhaps a 9 hole, with a few menu items and maybe even a bar where the usual people come to sit down and chat daily. I could not have been more wrong about the entire package;

it was more than I could begin to imagine.

I drove to Utica taking my best friend along for the trip, followed my GPS directions, searching

for the address for the Yahnun-dasis Golf Club. When I arrived, I was shocked at the beautiful, huge building surrounded by breathtaking landscaping, perfect in every way from the outside view. I spent a little time looking around outside taking in the per-

fectly manicured grounds and golf course that surrounded the huge building. I knew I was in for a tour and interview that would leave me incredibly in awe. I was right! The outside was just the begin-ning of my chance of a lifetime to go behind the scenes of one of New Hartford’s history rich, most breathtaking places of business I’ve had the privilege to visit.

Once inside it didn’t take long for me to get lost into the interior of this massive, beautiful building and all its glory. Original ceilings, walls, hallways that totally captivated me. I had to see and know more. My friend and I stood there in total awe of what we had ventured upon.

Feeling like a tourist, with my head on a swivel I started to rein myself in and started to look for my interview... I was personally greeted by every single person that passed by me, and there were many. Everyone was well mannered, had excellent people skills and gave me the impres-sion that the pride they felt for their employer was genuine and

Get Yourself a LOCAL cup of Joe!by Janet Stanley, Publisher

On a Wednesday evening just a few weeks ago, I found myself wandering around the parking lot of Dippin Donuts on Seneca Turnpike, New Hartford. I had stopped by to grab an iced cof-fee on my way to an appointment but saw what appeared to be a car show. Being a fan of muscle cars and having a love for older Corvettes, I found myself skipping the drive through, parking my SUV and walking in… I had a few extra minutes and there was a black Corvette that had really spun my head!! Iced Coffee in hand, I wandered, grabbed my camera and started to snap a few pictures. There was a DJ spinning some oldies but goodies, a couple of rows of shiny cars and motorcycles all perfectly groomed and ready for judg-ing… I had wandered in on the weekly “Bike Night & Cruise-In” held there every Wednesday night during the summer! John Zourdos, owner, was outside with a portable fryer, making the fresh-est most wonderful donuts! The wonderful smells were just too much for this girl and with a kind offer from John to grab a donut,

I grabbed and enjoyed every last crumb! Warm donuts with a cold coffee? BRILLIANT! What a great find!! I decided then that this weekly event was just too

good to keep to myself!!

My husband Matt and I had met John while out delivering PULSE to the New Hartford location and had learned that he and his wife Helen Zourdos own and operate 3 local Dippin Donut shops. After my great experience, Matt called Helen to speak with her about the history of

Dippin Donuts.

John and Helen opened their first Dippin Donut location in 2001 on Erie Boulevard in Rome, followed just a few years later in 2005 by the Black River Road, Rome location and their third in 2010 on Seneca Turnpike in New Hartford. It quickly became a family affair! Their son, Dimitri, manages the Black River store and helps in New Hartford. Daughter, Rose previously was involved in the business and now is a financial advisor for Morgan

Stanley. John and Helen are very involved in the day-to-day tasks of running a business and both wear many, many hats!

When asked, “What separates you from the others?” Helen said, “It’s all about customer service! We cater to our customers. In fact, if a customer comes in and we happen to be out of their fa-vorite donut, John will make their favorite right then, right there, fresh!” Helen went on to ex-plain that it is that kind of example, an example set by the owners themselves that dem-onstrates the level of customer service that the Zourdos family expects from all of their employees at all times. They believe in and practice, “old school” work ethics and it shows.

Customers are appreciated on all levels. Whether purchasing a single cup of coffee or dozens of donuts for an event… every customer feels welcome and ap-preciated.

The Zourdos family is very in-volved in the community as well. Helen told us that they support many local charities and organiza-tions including but not limited to: the American Cancer Society, YMCA, Red Cross blood drives and fund raising events, Salvation Army, Relay for the Cure, Rome Humane Society, Rome Cancer

support group (USAF), Ameri-can Heart Run & Walk, Onieda County Sheriff Department’s Safety Council for Kids, Kelber-man Center Autism Services (Cerebal Palsy), Roy H Austin Memorial Golf Tournament, Henry P Smith Post #24 Ameri-can Legion baseball team, Viet-nam Vets of America (Utica NY chapter #944), Pediatric Brain Tu-mor Foundation, Bobby J Ciccoti Memorial Golf, Roman Runners

Club, Cam-den Girl Scouts and many more just too numerous to mention.

It’s a good feeling to know that when you support

Dippin Donuts, you

are actually supporting a local family, one who prides them-selves on their customer service and community involvement. Sometimes it’s easy to look at a business as brick and mortar, but its NOT. A business is made up of the people who make it happen every day and who keep the money in our community by supporting other local businesses themselves. The money stays in our community to be used and reused and in turn helps our lo-cal economy.

I have had the privilege of get-ting to know many local business people in our wonderful region, the Zourdos family is now among the people on that long wonderful list! Their love of our

region and the communities they serve is evident in all that they do. Remember, you do have a choice when it comes to where you shop… we ask that you shop local!

That’s what PULSE is all about! We only allow locally owned businesses among our pages, so when you see an ad in PULSE, you know you are supporting a local business, a local family… a family that lives here, plays here, stays here!

Blueberry BrookeBy Lisa Miller, Studio di Luce

Artistic vision and vintage style transforms an old farmhouse into a dream house

Located on an organic blueber-ry farm on Van Hyning Road in Deansboro, New York, Blueberry Brooke was only a frame when Virginia Palusky’s dream began. With her father’s guidance and direction, the 1860’s farmhouse

was reworked from the ground up into a spectacular world class Bed and Breakfast located right here in Central New York.

Virginia and her father, Brooke Cottman, designed Blueberry Brooke around a collection of antique doors and repurposed structural pieces which became the foundation for this artistic endeavor. “I had a dream of hav-ing a place where people could come and be restored, a place where people could come and work on their art, or just be. I imagined a safe and inspiring place to work and this idea just

danced in my head for years,” Virginia says.

The ambience of the home is reflected in Virginia’s design choices. She achieves a vintage aesthetic by using a mixture of fabrics and fineries which she had collected over the years such as french silk and tapestries. Many of those one of a kind

fabrics became upholstery and window dressings throughout the house. Her keen eye for the perfect fabrics can be found everywhere especially in the five sumptuous bedrooms. In one of the bedrooms, named Midsum-mer’s Night Dream, she used a peach tapestry damask to create a headboard extending to the ceiling and a copper valance which she found at the Madison Bouckville Antiques show. Ad-ditional bedrooms are Under the Tuscan Sun, Once In A Blue Moon, Artist’s Dream and Fleur de Provence, each with it’s own unique setting. The magical quality

of the home is obvious, even in the kitchen. Inspired by an old hutch, the kitchen gets additional charm from a rustic chandelier and a mantel surround-ing the oven. With it’s bright blue ceiling beams and distressed cabinetry, when you walk in you feel as though you have stepped into an enchanted cottage.

The entire home is filled with enchantment and delight, from the antiques and the artwork, to the fireplace made from a Victorian door hood with a tile facing created by Virginia and her husband Bob. “After the structure was built, the most important thing to my father was his collection of antique doors,” Virginia says. “The doors were all in stacks and the ones my father seemed to love the most were the most worn and damaged”. These doors give Blueberry Brooke it’s old world charm as they appear as relics from a long lost era. One door that is most unusual is mounted with a collec-tion of photographs, keys, mirrors and clocks. “My father loved this door so much,” Virginia says. “ He has the ability to see the beauty in the ordinary, and since this door was so important to him I decided to decorate with very special objects to honor him.” Creating a feeling of love throughout this home was not difficult for Virginia. “You don’t

have to be an expert at design, all you need to do is collect beauty, layer beauty upon beauty and the beauty will create itself.”

For more information on this central NY treasure, visit www.blueberrybrooke.com

Virginia’s style tips for creating your own beautiful space:*Select an inspirational starting

point. For example, choose a great piece of antique furniture and then carry elements from it throughout the room.*Find key elements to help you

tell a story, like a rustic chandelier *Use color and texture in bold

strokes. More is better!*Use architectural salvage in

creative ways. Repurpouse!*Collect beauty everywhere

you go. If you see something that touches your spirit, don’t hesitate to acquire it! *Allow whatever you are

working on to tell you what to do next. Allow spontaneity in designing your decor. Everything can be done over so play, have fun with it!*Go with what you love, what

brings you joy, what makes you happy!

it showed in their actions. I told them who I was and who I was there to meet. I was told to feel free to venture around, take pic-tures, and meet the staff and that the manager I was there to see, would be with me shortly.

We walked into one of the large banquet rooms, there were a few employees there working together to prepare the room for a wed-ding. The entire staff showed great profession-alism, they were well dressed, well-mannered and very into their work with loads of pride in every detail.

Now was the time for me to do what I do best, talk and ask questions! I quickly found one of the largest misconceptions of this place is that the Yahnundasis

can not be utilized by the general public. For the sake of all of us I was thrilled to fi nd out that is not at all the case. The entire facility is available fto the public for weddings, banquets, parties, and meetings it is not limited to members at all. And from what I saw of the prices, at very com-petitive pricing too!

The view you see from the win-dows of the beautiful, historical grounds was simply breathtaking. As I stood there watching the employees decorate for the wed-ding, I imagined the bride in this

gorgeous room, looking out at the beautiful view as she danced her first dance as a married woman. Truly a photographers’ dream!

I asked why the misconception seemed so deep seeded in the community and the basic answer was that because it IS a member’s only golf club it was assumed that use of the facility was also for members only. The public has full access to its banquet rooms, catering and services. It was sug-gested that potiential customers call early to check availability and sit down with the professional team here at the Yahnundasis as soon as possible to lock in your special date!

I sat down with Chef Michael Tubia and we talked my favorite part, the food. With a revolving menu, Chef Mike prepares his menus with fresh produce and happily accommodates those with allergies and dietary special needs. He demands perfection with every dish that leaves the kitchen and his pride and reputa-tion are equally visible when he speaks of his contribution to the clubs culinary division. The kitch-en is slated for a total makeover to better serve the public and the members. The team of Chef Michael, and the food and bever-age manager, Michel Di Giorgio, have worked together for over 14 years. Obviously these two make a great team! Both expect perfection and that is just you can expect from your events at the Yahnundasis.

After my tour of the kitchen and chat with Chef Michael, it was time to talk about what makes this place what it is all about, Golf! My 9 year old son is a golf

Yahnundasis cont. from pg 12 fanatic so I am no stranger to the sport. Now, this doesn’t mean I am good at playing, but I am a great caddy to my little guy!, All I know about the sport, I learned from him and from playing the wii, video game version and I am not any good at that either! I did however have a question. I want-ed to know just how they get their grass so perfectly manicured with different colored grasses.It’s as simple as the direction of

the mower along with the rise of the blade, lots of teamwork and a great maintenance crew and together you get one beautiful masterpiece. We sat for a bit talking about the grounds and how hard it is to keep.

Before wrapping it up for the day at this exceptional facility, I

asked Michel one more time what one thing he most wanted me to get across to our readers with this article and his answer was that the public become more aware of the facility. It shouldn’t be the best kept secret on Seneca

Boulevard anymore... the facility can be utilized by the general public and no membership is re-quired... the beautiful Yahnundasis is available for parties, weddings, meeting’s, ceremony’s, corporate meetings and events and more!

He felt as though many people were missing out because they are unaware that it is available to anyone and I have to agree! This is one of the area’s most stunning facilities, serviced by one of the friendliest, well trained, devoted staff.

It is an injustice to the public to have this stay a secret when so many beautiful brides, important meetings, and occasions celebrat-ed could have been wrapped in this wonderful package! On my scale of all-around score of excel-lent, I give them a well-deserved superb! Go see them and tell them you read about them in Pulse Magazine, I promise you will thank me later. ~ Malissa

Although 21 months isn’t a milestone celebra-tion for a new business, we sure are proud to be publishing our twenty fi rst issue of PuLsE Magazine! We’ve seen incred-ible growth over those months, met some pretty incredible people and have gotten to know hundreds of wonderful local businesses! We feel blessed!

PuLsE has been our dream, Matt and I work very hard and make a pretty good team out there in the world. We have been a two man band doing every part of what it takes to publish the magazine. From delivery, to sales, to cover-ing events, creating ads,

writing articles and so much more! We are very proud of what we have built... and because of our hard work, we just can’t get it all done anymore!!

That being said, we are proud to welcome to our sales team, Danielle Woods of New Hartford (above) with my wonderful partner in crime and the best husband on this earth... Matt Stanley and Donna Water-man (below) of Old Forge.

Both gals have full time jobs and are looking to add a little part time adventure to their already busy lives. Danielle is the as-sistant manager at the New Hartford Coldwater Creek and Donna is owner/operator of her business in Old Forge, Just Makes Scents. (see her ad in this issue!) I must say too that Donna makes some great products, I am es-pecially fond of her sugar scrubs... they are wonderful!

Danielle will be working primar-ily in the Rome, Barneveld, Remsen area while Donna will cover our beautiful north country from Boonville to Old Forge! Matt and I are very pleased to welcome them both!

Donna and her shop mascot and best buddy, Harlee!

Pot luck parties can put guests at ease While a good time is the goal of

many social gatherings, too often the host and the hostess spend the majority of the party catering to guests rather than enjoying themselves. But pot luck parties that encourage guests to con-tribute to the festivities can allow even party hosts to relax and enjoy the festivities. Such parties a great option for contemporary hosts or hostesses who want to host a gathering but are too busy with their day-to-day activities to plan a party.

During a pot luck, everyone is invited to bring their sig-nature dishes to the event. These types of parties enable everyone to come together and share the work so the party hosts aren’t inundat-ed with all of the labor. Pot luck parties are typically informal gath-erings, which can help put guests at ease and make them more inclined to attend. A casual party where no one is expected to put on airs can create a relaxed and fun environment.

Although pot luck party guests will be sharing the workload, pot luck parties still require some planning. In fact, such parties may need a bit more organization than others, if only to ensure that the right ratio of food and beverages is available. Party hosts do not want to be stuck with duplicates of menu items or a scarcity of something essential. Here’s how to throw a successful pot luck.

Getting organized

The fi rst step is deciding which type of pot luck you want to have. This will dictate the menu. A cocktail party requires fi nger foods, while a sit-down event may require more substantial dishes.

Many party hosts like to associate a theme with their parties, and tying food into the theme can help guests decide what to bring.

Create a list of what’s needed

Determine how many dishes will be needed. The number of dishes available does not have to equal the number of guests in attendance, but it is a good idea to have a variety of options. When notifying guests what they

can bring, give a general list of guidelines. Per-haps you would like to have a beef dish, poultry, side dishes, a vegetarian option, and a salad. By giving guests the guidelines, they can work within them to create foods that they enjoy. It is best not to dictate exactly what to bring, as that may seem overbear-ing.

Don’t forget the beverages

Sometimes it can be easy to get swept up with the menu and overlook the beverages and other treats. Guests who do not need to bring a dish or those who admit their culinary capabili-ties are lacking can opt to bring drinks or ice. If you will be offer-ing alcohol beverages, delegate who will bring which spirits and mixers.

Divvy up desserts

Desserts are a big part of pot luck gatherings. Ask which guests prefer to make desserts and then keep track of who is bringing which items so you do not overlap. Chances are there is a seasoned baker in your midst who enjoys delighting the crowd with delectable desserts.

Take suggestions

Allow guests to make sugges-

tions regarding the menu. Perhaps someone will handle cutlery and serving pieces. Maybe a friend has chafi ng dishes that you can borrow. A family member who owns a business may be able to contribute a product from his or her store or service. Guests can do more than just bring food or beverages to make a contribu-tion. Extra seating and tables are always welcome.

Stock up on take-home containers

Even the most carefully planned pot luck party is sure to gener-ate a good deal of leftovers. Send everyone home with their own doggie bags. Aluminum or plastic containers can be used to divide any remaining foods.

Pot lucks can be a comfortable, informal way to host a number of people without taking on all of the work or expense of a party.

Utica’s Casual Dining Place Since 1931

by Malissa Allen Stinger

My adventures in Utica always seem to be full of wonder, lots of frustration from getting lost so easily, and my constant rubber necking looking at all the beauti-ful historical buildings within the city. Maybe it’s because I am from Louisiana where our architecture is completely different than what is found here, but I think Utica is one the prettiest cities in this area. The history is just breathtak-ing. I love the history of Utica, and its surrounding towns. From the buildings to the homes that file so closely, row af-ter row with beauti-fully land-scaped yards. I love rid-ing and looking at each little shop, wishing I knew the story each had to tell. Today was my lucky day. Janet had given me two assignments she wanted me to

cover for the July “Taste of the Region” edition. I had just left the first interview of the day totally captivated by its beauty and rich culture, doubting nothing could beat or match its unique history or majestic architecture. And then I pulled into my second interview location... The Trackside Restau-rant @ Historical Union Station.

Now, when I think of a “train station,” I get the mental picture of the train stations we see on TV where it’s a fast, steady chaotic spot, a place that is smelly and

not the cleanest; where you would feel about as safe as a chicken leg in the des-sert sur-rounded by buzzards. So, need-less to say I was a bit, (ok, over-whelmed with shock) when I finally found my destination, I couldn’t have been more wrong with that mental picture! At the Union Station

there is a back door that leads you into a majestic, beautiful,

historical goddess of a restaurant. This place is so amazingly beauti-ful all I could do was stand there and let the sounds of days gone by, the voices of soldiers talk-ing while sharing a drink before being shipped off to their next

war riddled destination, fill me up. The ceilings, along with the architectural walls, still there from the original days. I can assure you, I was totally swept in by its amaz-ing power to make you wish you could go back to this place, back to the original days just to experi-ence its divine beauty of days gone by. It is a place that holds so many stories, secrets, regrets, hap-piness, before and after’s, which today houses one of Utica’s most fabulous places to dine out. Not just for its mouthwatering, yet simple menu, but also of its breathtaking interior.

Housed inside the historic Union Station is, the Trackside Restaurant with all the beauty of

the original setting. When I first walked in the Union station with its historical décor, the first thing that came to mind was, “I wonder if I can afford to even have a glass of water in this place, let alone eat.” Meeting me at the door

is Trackside’s first asset, one of the owners, Cheryl. She and her husband, Rich had worked several years together for the previ-ous owners, and when the opportunity arose that they could take over and have the business they dreamed of, they jumped on it. But it

doesn’t stop there. Cheryl han-dles the front of the house while Rich, a Chef, masters the back of the house. My favorite part; everyone that works there is a member of their family. Rich and Cheryl’s kids work in the kitchen while Rich’s Mom makes each and every dessert offered on the menu. This really impressed me. A family that cooks and prays together, stays together.

The visit with the owners was more like sitting and talk-ing with friends I had known for years. They were extremely friendly and proud to show off their accomplishments, which are well deserved. I asked to go

behind the scenes into the place where all the magic happens, the kitchen. Not only is this one of the cleanest commercial kitchens I’ve ever seen, the organization was amazing. I was incredibly impressed with their knowledge, and willingness to accommodate their customers that have allergy issues and would need special preparations for their meals, as well as their precautions of cross contamination issues.

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, I was offered a menu. I was really not expect-ing to see what I saw. Simple, yet mouthwatering, inexpensive items offered with fi ne, well explained ingredients for each dish. Every-thing this area is famous for like, Riggies and greens, with a few of their own house specialties thrown in too. Sandwiches, Salads, soups, and entrees listed on a simple, yet inviting menu. It just kept getting better. I was so taken in by the beauty of this place that I wanted to look at all the fi ne details even closer. Cheryl and Rich took us walking around and pointed out details such as the original stools, lined up just as perfectly as they were back many years ago. Photos lined in front of the stools of famous people, soldiers, and common people. Seeing the stools, along with the original photos, showing soldiers eating there, and then loading up on trains sent chills down my spine. I could see the sadness

in their eyes as they loaded the train, some never to return. But I have to say it was the ceilings and the lights that totally swept me off my feet. The beauty of this place along with the food puts The Trackside Restaurant on the top of my “must do” list for people to experience.

One of the most important details Cheryl and Rich wanted expressed was that other than regular meals, they also offer catering, host weddings, parties, business meetings, and more. They are happy to accommodate any type of event, even offer-ing not just one, but two dance fl oors. On my scale of perfection, The Trackside Restaurant gladly receives a whopping superb! This is one dining destination that is a must for those who want a deli-cious meal with a serene, beauti-ful, friendly atmosphere.Please keep them in mind when you are looking for just the perfect spot for your next event, you will thank me later, guaranteed.

Choosing the right restaurant for your dinner partyGetting together with family and

friends for a good meal is a great opportunity to reconnect and share a few laughs. Though such gatherings have traditionally taken place at private homes, today’s busy adults are increasingly turn-ing to restaurants to host their mini reunions. Restaurants don’t require hosts and guests to wash any dishes, and hosts won’t have to find time to clean their homes top to bottom like they would if they were to have a party at home.

Such a reality makes a din-ner party at a local restaurant a lot less stressful for the hosts. There are a number of things to emphasize when looking for the right restaurant to host the next dinner party.

Proximity

Whether entertaining family and friends or a business dinner, the restaurant where you will be gathering should be easily acces-sible to all people who plan to attend. A centrally located restau-rant that’s only a short drive for guests and hosts alike is ideal, as it cuts back on the time people will spend driving to and from the restaurant. Try to accommodate those guests who don’t drive by choosing a restaurant that’s ac-cessible via public transportation.

Price

Perhaps the only downside to hosting a dinner party at a restaurant is that such gather-ings tend to be more expensive than parties at private residences. Hosts should first determine who will be paying the bill. If everyone has agreed to pay their own portion of the bill, this gives you a little more flexibility when choosing a restaurant. If you, as the host, intend to pick up the tab for everyone, then you might want to find a nice restaurant with reasonably priced entrees. A five-star restaurant might break the bank, but you might be able to find a three- or four-star restaurant that’s still elegant and more affordable.

If each guest intends to pay for his or her own meal, discuss with guests how much they would like to spend before making a reser-vation. Once you have an idea of what everyone is willing to spend, you can start to narrow down your options.

Menu

The menu is an important thing for hosts to consider when choosing a restaurant for their next dinner party. Many men and women adhere to certain diets or lifestyles that restrict what they can and cannot eat, and you will want to find a restaurant that can cater to as many of your guests’ needs as possible. Discuss any dietary restrictions with your guests before you begin the pro-cess of finding a restaurant. If the responses are slow to come in, you can still go ahead with your search, but look for restaurants that offer vegetarian and gluten-free fare.

When examining the menu, take into consideration any offerings for kids if any guests are planning to bring their children along. Kids tend to prefer chicken fingers and fries over filet mignon and baked potatoes, so the restaurant should have some menu items for young children if kids will be joining in the festivities.

Accessibility

When looking for a restaurant, try to find one that’s easily ac-cessible for any older guests who might not get around as easily as they used to or any guests who might have a disability that requires handicap accessible seating and restrooms. Many restaurants can fill both of these needs, but it’s still up to hosts to ask in advance so all guests have a comfortable evening.

Our area is rich in locally owned restaurants that offer exceptional food, great service and private dining facilities perfect for your family gathering. Scope them out here ... and tell them Pulse sent you!

Coming to Danieles at Valley View Country Club on Friday night August 9th is a re-union per-formance of TARGET, the Band!! Yes, that means that the original 4 will be together again performing your favorites including “Give Me One More Shot” and “Cleve-land.”

Brian and Michelle Raehm, Dean Blask and Vinnie Esposito along with special guest, Mike Carletta will be performing live at Danieles. Jeff Daniels, owner, reported that ticket sales were going fast so anyone interested in this reunion performance had better get them bought! Brian said the group will be on stage for approximately 3 hours starting at 9 o’clock.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Brian who still performs as Target the Band with his wife, Michelle and Mike Carletta on Hilton Head Island and surround-ing areas in SC. He told me that he is very much looking forward to getting the original group back together for this re-union in beau-

tiful upstate New York!

Almost as exciting to him was the return to our area where he has very fond memories of places and people. Brian commented that he loves living on Hilton Head but that the food in our area simply can’t be beat! Where

Brian and Michelle live, there are a lot of commercial dining op-tions and he said he misses the great local food so readily avail-

able to all of us in the Utica area. After speaking with him, it hit me how appropriate that statement was for the “Taste of the Region” issue of Pulse! This issue is full of awesome locally owned eater-ies!

TARGET, the Band performed together locally for years before they went in separate directions, still friends, they have decided to perform for our pleasure once

Keeping your party budget in checkWhether hosting a game watch

for family and friends, throw-ing a birthday bash for a child or spouse or planning a formal dinner party for professional colleagues, party hosts must de-termine their budgets early on to ensure the party does not break the bank. Regardless of whether your affair will be a black-tie

event or a backyard barbecue, there are certain tips all potential party hosts can apply to keep their party budgets in check.

* Figure out what you can af-ford. Though a young child may love to have the circus in his or her backyard when celebrating a birthday, chances are such an

expense would be too expen-sive for the average person. When planning parties big and small, first assess your finances for the party. If you’re trusted with planning an event for your company, work with the account-ing department to develop a budget that’s realistic. Planning a child’s birthday party should involve a similar assessment, during which parents can examine their finances to determine what they can and cannot afford to spend on their youngster’s big day. Once you have determined what you can afford, stick to that figure and do not exceed it.

* Invite guests to lend a helping hand. One of the ways to keep your budget in check is to invite guests to lend a helping hand. If hosting a laid back gathering of family and friends, make it a pot luck affair that encourages guests to bring their own special dishes or share beverage detail. Guests at company-sponsored events should never be asked to bear

some of the financial burden of the party, but you can even shed some of the cost at such events by having a cash bar instead of an open bar. Guests often want to help their gracious hosts, so don’t be afraid to ask.

* Don’t go overboard with food and drinks.

It’s always a good idea to anticipate your guests will eat a lot at the party. So you might want

to go the extra mile when stocking up on

food and beverages. However, there’s no reason to go

overboard, especially if you know the exact number of guests who will be attending the festivities. An excessive amount of food likely won’t keep for long, and you are liable to be left with more leftovers than you can reason-ably consume. When buying food and drinks for the party, plan for guests to overindulge, but don’t go overboard with your esti-mates.

How to grill for a crowdCooking over an open fi re is a

staple of warm-weather enter-taining. Tossing some steaks or vegetables on the grill for a family dinner is usually an easy under-taking. But even the craftiest grill cooks may need to apply some tricks of the trade when grilling food for the masses.

* Cook a large piece of meat. Rather than individual burgers or chicken wings, think about barbe-cuing an entire pig or a roast. In many cases, the meat can be set up on the barbecue early in the morning. By the time the evening arrives, the meat should be tender and cooked through. With just occasional checking, turning and basting, this may be the most low-maintenance option when feeding a crowd.

* Rent or borrow a second grill. Unless you are working with industrial-sized or commercial equipment, a standard grill may not have enough surface area to cook a lot of food at once. Find a

friend or family member who is willing to lend you his or her grill. Having twice the room means you can cook twice the amount of food. You also may be able to rent a larger grill for an event.

* Precook the food. You can put bratwurst, hot dogs or burgers on the grill to partially cook them before the party, then store them in aluminum pans. When guests arrive, sim-ply reheat the food to the right tempera-ture and they’ll be hot and ready in no time.

* Make steak sandwiches. Make the food go further with less work by cooking ribeye steaks or fl ank steaks on the grill. Slice up the meat and serve it over garlic bread with melted jack or mozzarella cheese. The result will be savory, and such sandwiches don’t take much time to create.

* Opt for pulled pork. Start the basics of pulled pork in a slow cooker so that the meat cooks for several hours under low heat. If you have a smoker, you can

opt to use that, but smokers may take longer to cook the meat and require more maintenance. If you opt for the slow cooker, transfer the meat to an aluminum pan when it is nearly done and put it on the grill to impart that smoky fl avor. Add more seasonings to the meat and keep it warm until guests are ready to dine.

* Go with hot dogs. Hot dogs are usually precooked and will heat up quickly on the grill. Their small size means they don’t take

up much space, and sev-eral can fi t on the grill at one time.

Our per-sonal favorites can be found at the Pulaski Meat Market in Utica!

Grilling for a crowd is easier when you plan

with foods that are precooked or heat up quickly. This way you can enjoy more time with your guests.

As always, watch temperatures and cook meats to the FDA’s recommended safe temperatures!

Grab a grill mitt and a cold lem-onade and head for the backyard!

If you really want to make a friend, go to someone’s house and eat

with him... the people who give you their food give you their heart.

The Right Ingredients Make for a Perfect Summer Get-Together

Everyone knows the key elements to a fantastic backyard barbeque are great company, exciting conversation, and deli-cious recipes - so be sure to pull together the perfect grilling menu that will keep your guests’ smiles as warm as the summer sun.

Here are a few tips to make your outdoor party simple and smooth:

Opt for Appetizers

Many party guests will want to nosh and mingle throughout the evening, so make sure you have plenty of appetizers, dips and

chips on hand while you fire up the grill for the main course.

Self-Serve Drink Stations

Allow guests to refill their drinks themselves by placing drinks on a small end table or cart. Cover it with a brightly colored tablecloth and stacked glasses. Don’t forget your ice bucket and tongs for mixed cocktails. If you are serving beer or wine, ice them down in galvanized bins placed next to the drink station. Be sure to position the station away from the food to keep lines from forming.

Improving heart health need not be diffi cult

Heart disease is one of the lead-ing causes of death across the globe. According to the World Health Organization, ischaemic heart disease, in which blood supply to the heart is reduced, is the leading cause of death in middle- and high-income coun-tries and the fourth-leading cause of death in low-income countries.

Perhaps the most troubling fact about the prevalence of heart disease is that it can be largely preventable. The American Heart Association notes that there are several ways to easily improve heart health and avoid becoming

one of the millions of people to succumb to heart disease.

* Embrace aerobic exercise.

Aerobic exercise is essential to cardiovascular health. Daily aerobic exercise, which can be as simple as walking around the neighborhood, can help men and women lower their blood pres-sure, maintain a healthy weight and lower their bad cholesterol, which can circulate in the blood and cause blockages that can lead to heart attack.

* Adopt a low-sodium diet that’s also low in cholesterol. Diet can be a friend or foe with regards to heart disease. A heart-friendly diet that’s low in sodium and cholesterol can help you maintain healthy cholesterol levels as well as a healthy blood pressure.

* Monitor your blood pressure. A blood pressure reading is a staple of many doctor visits, but men and women should monitor their blood pressure even when they aren’t visiting their physicians. High blood pressure does not al-ways produce symptoms, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t potentially deadly. High blood pressure is the leading cause of stroke and can contribute to heart and kidney disease. So be sure to monitor your blood pressure and discuss with your physician ways to lower high blood pressure.

A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself. ~Josh Billings

Summer Backyard EnjoymentThere is nothing better than

gathering family and friends for a fun, outdoor get-together. With a few decorating tricks and enter-taining ideas, anyone can become the “host(ess) with the mostess.”

To help Americans get the most out of their outdoor spaces and enjoy the summer season, OFF! has partnered with lifestyle and entertaining expert Katie Brown. Together, they have the tips and tricks to help ensure you’re prepared this summer for any outdoor gathering.

First, a little preparation goes a long way. In the recent Summer Savvy Survey conducted by the makers of OFF!, 80 percent of respondents said getting a bug bite and running out of food are the two most annoying things that could ruin an outdoor party. Before heading outside, spot treat your backyard with a product designed to protect it from a variety of insects like mosquitoes, ants and fl eas, such as the OFF!

Bug Control Backyard Pretreat. Simply attach it to a garden hose and apply to your trees, shrubs, ornamentals and structures. Once applied, OFF! Bug Control Backyard Pretreat kills 110 types of insects for up to eight weeks on nonporous surfaces.

Prep your outdoor living space for summer gatherings by cluster-ing seating around a coffee table then adding side tables for plates of food and glasses. Anchor the grouping with a beautiful outdoor rug. Then amp up the fun factor with vibrant hues that mimic the colors in the surrounding landscapes. Why not poppy red pillows or a sunfl ower yellow tablecloth? Keep the decor light, bright and festive.

Clusters of candles should also be placed on small tables near where the guests will be loung-ing. Make sure to include an OFF! Citronella Candle or two. They add several hours of ambiance and style.cont. on pg. 35

Try to anticipate things your guests may need to be com-fortable during the party. Fill up wicker baskets, or “pamper pots,” and set them near various seat-ing areas. It’s a thoughtful touch guests will really appreciate. Items to consider are:

-Sunscreen: Even if the day is cloudy, both kids and adults will appreci-ate having an extra bottle of sunscreen on hand.

-Mosquito repellent: The OFF! Clip-On gives your guests personal protection against mosquitos so they can stay comfortable throughout the event.

-Umbrellas: Whether guests use them for an unexpected rain-

from pg. 32

shower or to shield themselves from the sun, umbrellas are a thoughtful touch.

-Flashlights: A little extra illumi-nation may come in handy during late night festivities. The kids might find flashlights make for a

great game of tag. If you’re hosting

a planned event such as a birthday party or holiday BBQ, consider offering a fun take-home treat. As the party winds down, fill a small beach bag with any extra supplies, such as flashlights, sunscreen, insect repellent, bubbles and sidewalk chalk, for each family.

Shade trees keep homes coolPeople take many different steps

to stay cool when the tempera-tures rise. A particularly common method to remaining comfort-able is turning up the air condi-tioning and staying indoors. But what about the people who want to be cool and enjoy fresh air as well? Shade trees could be their best allies against the sweltering temperatures.

Most individuals will agree that it feels much cooler under a shade tree than it does when standing in direct sunlight. The nonprofit organization Trees Forever says the difference in temperature readings can be monumental. In 2010, roughly 20 volunteers worked with the organization to compare the actual temperature of shaded and unshaded surfaces around a county fairground in Iowa. The volunteers used laser thermometers and took readings from surfaces such as sidewalks, parking lots and grassy lawn areas. The volunteers found dif-ferences in temperature ranging

from 14 to 55o F depending on the surface measured. That’s a considerable difference and could help a person remain cool.

Trees are a practi-cal way to stay cool and are an energy-saving means to keep tem-pera-tures down. Planting trees around a prop-erty can reduce reliance on air-conditioning systems, sav-

ing a person money while reduc-ing dependency on fuel sources. Other live vegetation, including grass and yard plants, can also promote an overall cooling effect, compared to hardscape surfaces that radiate heat.

Numer-ous variet-ies of trees can serve as shade trees. These are typically deciduous trees that will have leaves during the warm-weather months and then shed them when the cooler seasons arise. However,

some evergreens and tropical trees also work well as shade

producers in and around a land-scape.

* American Arborvitae: This slow-growing evergreen is typi-cally used to create tall hedges and privacy screens. It also offers year-round moderate to deep shade when the trees reach maximum height of 25 to 40 feet.

* American Beech: This tree offers shade and also edible nuts. It can grow up to 100 feet in fertile, well-draining soils.

* Autumn Blaze Maples: These trees are known for their outstanding fall foliage. However, they also are fast-growing shade trees that can cool down any landscape.

* Bald Cyprus: The fern-like leaves of this tree provide moderate shade. This cyprus is low-maintenance and has few problems with insects or disease.

* Chinese Elm: This rapid-grow-ing tree is excellent for screening or providing a windbreak. Small, dense foliage will fill in about five years, when it will be good for shade.

* Crepe Myrtle Tree: Myrtles are fast-growing shade trees in southern climates. In northern climates, they may grow more like a perennial shrub.

* Little-leaf Linden: This is a fragrant tree that blooms with yellow flowers in early summer. The dense foliage will remain on the tree into late fall.

* Moraine Locust: This tree is cold-hardy and can withstand urban conditions. It is fast-growing and provides light to medium shade.

* Silver Maple: This is the most rapid growing of all maples and will be a large spreading tree.

* Tulip Trees: These very large trees are coveted for their flow-ers that resemble the shape of tulips. This tree should be given plenty of space in which to grow.

* Virginia Pine: Because its branches aren’t as close to the ground as other pine trees, the Virginia pine can be an effective shade tree.

* White Birch: This tree, also known as the European birch, grows 30 to 60 feet tall and has

drooping branches. The smaller leaves offer dappled shade. The peeling white bark can stand out in a land-scape.

* White Oak: Oak trees make excellent shade trees, but the White Oak can grow to 100 feet tall with a spread of 80 feet in its canopy. It has thick

horizontal branches that con-tribute to its shade-producing benefits.

Trees in one’s yard can not only keep temperatures cool, but also provide habitats for birds and small animals and act as a food source for plenty of creatures.

Fruits and veggies can help fight cancer

Cancer affects the lives millions of people across the globe. When detected early, cancer becomes a significantly less formidable foe, as survival rates for cancer patients whose cancer was detected early are much higher than those whose initial diagnosis came after the disease had progressed into its later stages. But early detection isn’t the only way to beat cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, a healthy diet that includes at least 21/2 cups of fruits and veg-etables each day can help men, women and children lower their cancer risk. Fruits and vegetables that have the most color, such as those that are dark green, red, yellow, and orange, tend to have the most nutrients. Fruits

and vegetables are typically low in calories as well, which helps people maintain healthy weights. That’s a significant benefit, as the ACS Cancer Prevention Study II showed significant increases

in cancer occur-rence in people who are the most overweight. The link between cancer andobesity is espe-cially strong with specific cancers, including breast cancer after meno-pause and can-cers of the colon, rectum, pancreas, kidneys, esophagus, and endometrium. What’s more, stud-

ies have shown that obese men and women have a harder time battling cancer upon diagnosis. So while a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can help lower cancer risk, such a diet may even make it easier to battle cancer if diag-nosed.

Personalize Backyard Grilling with DIY Condiments

Celebrate the upcoming summer holidays by declaring your indepen-dence from traditional burger, hot dog and sausage toppers. Simple Do-It-Yourself condiments take minutes to make and can be tailored to create custom fl avors that will impress family and friends. From Worcestershire pub mustard to Cajun spiced ketchup, there are many ways to make traditional toppings unique and memorable.

“It’s as easy as adding herbs and spices to store-bought mayon-naise to create a lemony herb mayo upgrading a grilled chicken sandwich,” said Chef Kevan Vet-ter of McCormick. “Or, combine Dijon mustard with Worcester-shire seasoning for a bold spread that’s perfect on grilled hot dogs, bratwurst or other sausages.”

Take a Break from TechnologyAs access to technology

increases, families may find they are spending more time on their devices and less time together.

Some psychologists worry our growing attachment to technol-ogy may result in social isolation.

Ready for a Tech Timeout?

Carving out space and time for each other can start the channels of communication flowing. Here are some activities families can do together:

* Board Game Bonanza - Break out the cards, puzzles and board games for a night of old-fash-ioned fun.

* Get Out and Play - Find a local trail and set out on a hike together. You will have a chance to interact with your surround-ings and one another and be active too.

* Volunteer - Volunteering can

help strengthen community con-nections and avoid a sense of social isolation. Find a cause your family is passionate about and volunteer with a local organiza-tion.

* Cook Together - Dig out your favorite recipes and try cooking as a family. Assign each person a role in meal preparation. You will not only have plenty of time to interact, your children can pick up some valuable life skills along the way.

* Take a Tech-free Holiday - Family vacations are a great time to recharge and bond with your kids, but connecting can be tough if you are each plugged into your electronic devices. Fun time to-gether will create memories your children will cherish for years to come.

* Rediscover Reading - Begin a family reading hour or book club. Starting a discussion about litera-ture will open up communication.

On the road again Ready your car for summer travelThe return of warm weather

marks the return of road trips for millions of motorists across the country. Whether going to the beach or heading off to parts unknown, hitting the open road with the windows down is a time-honored tradition for driv-ers of all ages.

But such road trips can prove disastrous if drivers don’t take the right steps to prepare their

vehicles for summer travel. The following are a few ways motor-ists can ensure their car is ready to tackle the open road.

* Tighten things up. Loose parts, such as exhaust clamps, license plates, and interior trim panels, can create rattles and cause parts to get damaged or fall off. What’s more, rattling sounds can be a noisy nuisance for drivers and passengers alike. Permatex Threadlockers can be used to keep the nuts and bolts from coming loose and save parts re-placement costs. They also have a threadlocker for plastic fasteners, which vehicle manufacturers have grown to rely on more and more.

* Wash your car. A newly washed car not only looks good, but it’s often much safer as well. Take your car to a car wash a few days before the trip and have the vehicle thoroughly cleaned. A thorough cleaning will remove dirt and grime from the vehicle’s undercarriage, not to mention unsightly bird droppings and water spots.

* Fix foggy headlight lenses. Many summer road trippers travel at night so their days can be spent soaking up some sun at the beach or lake. Before heading off for parts unknown, motorists should inspect their headlight lenses to reduce risk of accident. If the lenses are yellowed and foggy, that’s likely because salt, ozone and road debris has dulled them to a point where vision can be impaired, placing drivers and their passengers at risk. But foggy lenses don’t mandate an

expensive headlight replacement. In fact, The Permatex Lens Renew Kit makes it easy to clean up and polish dull headlight lenses and restore them to like new condi-tion, improving your car’s lighting and driver visibility.

* Check the battery. Over time, battery terminals and cables will start to corrode. Such corrosion will eventually eat away at the battery’s parts, creating a bad connection that sooner or later will require the battery be re-placed. Check the battery before your trip and remember to clean the battery periodically as part of routine vehicle maintenance.

* Address windshield nicks and bullseyes. Nicks and chips in the windshields are a com-mon problem regardless of the season. But such damage is most prevalent in the winter because of the extra debris that’s on the road. These nicks and cracks need to get fixed as soon as possible to prevent them from spreading and resulting in the need for a windshield replacement. Often-times, motorists can address nicks and bullseyes in their own driveways in a matter of min-utes. For example, the Permatex Bullseye Windshield Repair kit is tailor made for do-it-yourselfers, requiring no heating or mixing while ensuring each repair is virtually undetectable.

More information on easy re-pairs that you can do yourself can be found at www.permatex.com.
