“Horse sense is the thing a horse haswhich keeps it from betting on people.”

- W.C. Fields

Horses have been a signifi cant part of Amer-ica’s history and heritage, playing various roles as working horses, in sporting and

some have even made it to celebrity status.

Although horses were said to exist on the North American continent prior to 8,000 B.C., becoming extinct with the Ice Age, they are most known as arriving with Columbus on his fi rst and second journeys. The Spaniards brought more horses to South America, which they used while conquering Mexico and Peru.

riculture and horsemanship and remains in existence today.

EAT LIKE A HORSEA horse has just one chamber in its stom-ach and has a rather quick digestive system, requiring much more food than a cow of the same size. A domestic horse eats about 12-15 pounds of hay each day depend-ing on their size and activity level. Larger breeds may consume up to 30 pounds or more and a pony, (a small breed of horse) will eat much less. Their diet is usually supplemented with some grain such as oats or corn.

WORK HORSESThe Pony Express was only in operation from April 1860 to October 1861, but made a huge impact on American history. The Express route ran between St. Joseph, Mis-souri and Sacramento, California. Horse-back riders would carry a 20-pound pouch of mail called mochila (Spanish for pouch) thrown over the saddle of the horse. Riders could not weigh more than 125 pounds and were changed about every 75-100 miles. Riders would get a new horse every 10 to 15 miles and traveled about 10 miles per hour. The length of their route was close to 2,000 miles and took 10 days in the sum-mer months and up to 16 in winter. The cost to send a letter was reportedly $5.00 per half ounce which eventually dropped to $1.00. Makes 45 cents sound like a real bargain. Its founders, William Hepburn Russell, Alexander Majors and William B.

Waddell hoped to capture the attention of the U.S. government and win the million dollar contract to carry the mail. After los-ing $200,000, they were not awarded the contract, most likely due to the transcon-tinental telegraph’s debut in October of 1861.

The Pony Express employed 200 men and 500 horses traveling through 190 relay sta-tions. Their riders included Buffalo Bill Cody and Wild Bill Hickok.

The fastest ride for the Pony Express was the delivery of the news of the election of Abraham Lincoln as president, taking just over seven days. The Rocky Mountain News in Denver was one of the fi rst recipi-ents of the news.

PUTTING ON AIRSWho has their hoof prints on the Holly-wood Walk of Fame? Roy Rogers’ horse Trigger and Gene Autry’s Champion, of course. Trigger, a golden palomino was originally called Golden Cloud, but was eventually given the name Trigger once Roy Rogers purchased him in 1938. He named him for his quickness of mind and foot, as he knew about 60 tricks including walking 150 steps using his hind legs. A likeness of Trigger can be seen in Branson, Missouri at the Roy Rogers and Dale Ev-ans Museum, as well as Dale Evans’ horse, Buttermilk.

Other famous horses:• George Washington’s Nelson• Caroline Kennedy was given a pony by Vice President Lyndon Johnson during the Kennedy administration. His name was Macaroni and was very popular with chil-dren all over the country who wrote him letters.• Highland Dale was the American Regis-ter Saddle-Bred Stallion who appeared in movies, notably the 1946 “Black Beauty,” as well as the television show “Fury.” His

trainer, Ralph McCutcheon nicknamed him Beaut. Beaut earned an unprecedented $5,000 per week as an actor and had access to McCutcheon’s Van Nuys, Calif. swim-ming pool. Rolling in mud was one of his favorite activities followed by a bath and/or dip in the pool.

HORSE POWERHorse racing, one of America’s favorite pastimes, has spawned many famous hors-es including these few:

• Secretariat was born in 1970 and lived until 1989. He won 16 out of 21 races and was the Triple Crown winner in 1973. In 1974, he was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame. In 1999, a U.S. postage stamp was issued with his picture on it. He appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated, Newsweek and Time magazines in the same week just be-fore winning the Triple Crown.• Man O’War was born in 1917 and is thought to be the greatest racing horse in history, losing only one race in his career. Man O’War was inducted into the national Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1957. When he died in 1947, he ‘lay in state’ for several days in a casket lined with fabric in his racing colors. • Citation, born in 1945, was the eighth Triple Crown winner. He won or placed in 44 of his 45 races with a lifetime win-nings at over one million dollars. A Cessna Aircraft Company business jet was named after Citation which includes a horseshoe in its logo.• Seabiscuit, born in 1933, was the sub-ject of inspirational books and an Academy Award nominated movie. He was entered into 89 races and won 33 of those races, placed second 15 times and third three times. Seabiscuit was inducted into the Na-tional Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1958.

• Seattle Slew was born in 1974 and won six consecutive races in 1977. Even though he suffered many injuries, he still won 14 races and had two second place fi nishes out of 17 career races. He is also a National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in-ductee and was named Horse of the Year in 1978.

HORSE SENSEIn the 1800’s, horses were used by the fi re service to pull the fi re engine. Horses typi-cally received on-the-job training; howev-er, Detroit opened a horse college for train-ing. Students received progress reports and report cards. Graduates would work for the fi re service typically four to 10 years.

In Philadelphia, horses were granted vaca-tions before fi refi ghters received vacations. Who’s smarter now?

HORSE SNIPPETZThe horse’s height is measured by the • number of hands tall, which translates to 4 inches across the knuckles. Wyoming began using a cowboy and a • bucking bronco on their licenses plates beginning in 1936 and continues to this day. In 1989 Kentucky introduced a new license plate design with a horse and foal graphic that was used until 1997 when the photographer who took the photograph threatened to sue. Col-orado offers Support the Horse plates for the local horse lover.The Clydesdale horses have been the • Anheuser-Busch symbol since 1933.A horse heart weighs about 10 pounds •

and the head weighs about 12 pounds on average.A horse’s birthday is determined to be • the fi rst day of the year in which it was born. In other words, a horse born on October 15, 2008 would have a birth date of January 1, 2008.There are more than 350 different • breeds of horses.A horse can only breathe through its • nose and not its mouth.A horse can see a different visual • image out of each eye, referred to as monocular vision. They also have bet-ter night vision.Most foals are born at night and can • stand within one hour of birth. How-ever, their legs are so long that they are unable to reach the ground to eat grass.Body temperature is 100-101 de-• grees.Horses are not able to vomit.• Horses drink water by a sucking ac-• tion rather than lapping water with their tongues. They have a prehensile upper lip which is quite sensitive and gives them the capability of picking up very small objects.They produce about 10 gallons of sa-• liva per day.The hoof of a horse grows like a fi n-• gernail and has to be trimmed.The life expectancy of a horse is 25-• 30 years, although a horse named “Old Billy” lived 62 years from 1760 to 1822.A horse will use his tail to keep his • bottom warm and swat those pesky fl ies from himself as well as a nearby friend. Mares are pregnant for 11 months and • typically only have one offspring.

WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE LEARNED

FROM TELEVISION TONIGHTBy Nicholas Yanez

We’ve all seen it; the kids that have hundreds of trophies on the wall from the several

different activities they’re the best at. There are also the co-workers who refuse to just be, always striving to come out on top. And while this writer is all for competition, I also understand the need to do things just for the heck of it. I just fi nished watching an episode of Wife Swap – that show that used to fl ip families wives for two weeks. The fi rst week, the traveling wife would have to live by the families rules. The second week however, the wife would impose her families way of living on the host home. Of course the producers would always pick opposite

types of families to create the most tension possible. Then, at the end of the show, they all learn lessons through the wife swap. The episode I watched was of a super competitive, put-your-baby-in-a-pageant Family, and that of a feminist and stay at home dad. In the end, both families learned a lot, including the fact that sometimes you have to do things just for fun.

With this collegial spirit in mind, Pinz has created a new Bowling League for the people. Just For Fun Fridays is a League where Bowlers can have fun on a Friday night. It’s also great for those who have “commitment issues” as League play takes place every other week. There are 16 weeks of excitement in this relaxed League, with trophies/league party taking place at the end of the season. So why would YOU want to join a bowling league? It’s simple; there are a lot of advantages to joining a League at Pinz. Of course, you’ll have to make like the second week of Wife Swap and play by my rules.

Bowling Leagues are a great way to make new friends. There will be new locals you’ve never encountered before bowling next to you each week (or, every other week I suppose). Fridays are a great night to have a good time with new faces. If you’re a little

nervous, Rodz Bar and Grill is right there to give you some liquid courage. League play is also a way to stay active. Bowling is a sport, therefore making you an athlete. Feels good doesn’t it? You’ll also receive $1 Bowling from Pinz everyday lanes are available after joining a League.

See how playing the role of the family in the second week of Wife Swap teaches

you things you never thought you’d know? Now go home, make the changes, and be better for it. Oh, and also come in (855 HWY 105 Palmer Lake, CO) or call in (719-487-7469) and sign up for Pinz Bowling Center’s new Just For Fun Friday’s League. It’s the life-change you’ve been waiting for, and it didn’t even take reality TV to get there.

YOURFAMILY TREEOne of the best things you can

leave future generations of your family is accurate gene-

alogy information.

Creating a family tree isn’t as diffi cult as it may sound. Start with yourself, your siblings and your parents. Accu-rate date and place of birth informa-tion is crucial to any future hunts. Go back as many generations as you can, at least giving names if you can’t also supply dates and place of birth.

Write down stories about your fam-ily members (this will also jog your own memory of facts about the past.) If there are “rumors,” make notes of those as well. Even if you can’t verify whether your mother’s grandfather was a train engineer, someone else might be able to at a later date.

If you have a computer and are com-fortable roaming the Internet, Ances-try.com is one of the best places to start. On Ancestry, you can not only research your family, but you can cre-ate a family tree to save. The amount of information available is amazing: old military records, city directories, birth and death certifi cates, photos uploaded by others, Census through 1940 and so much more. There is a fee to sub-scribe to Ancestry, but if you join for six months and do a little every week, you should fi nish in that time.

On Family Search (familysearch.org) you will likely fi nd information that you can’t fi nd anywhere else (for ex-ample, some of it goes back as far as Europe), but you have to be careful. Use Family Search as a hunting ground and verify information elsewhere.

If you’ve never done genealogy, con-sider taking a class to get started. This might be a good winter project, with the end result benefi ting your family for generations to come.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My wife’s doctor thinks she has intermittent clau-dication due to peripheral vascular dis-ease. She also has diabetes. Would you describe it and its treatment? -- S.B.

ANSWER: Peripheral vascular dis-ease also goes by the name peripheral artery disease, PAD. “Peripheral” refers to the outer boundary, and when speak-ing of the body, the legs are its periph-ery. Leg arteries are narrowed and often blocked by the buildup of cholesterol, fat and many other components found in the circulation. The buildup is called plaque. The buildup can be so great that no blood runs through the main leg ar-teries.Intermittent claudication is leg pain that develops when someone with PAD walks any distance. The person can tell, almost to the number of steps taken, when pain will arise. Taking a rest re-lieves the pain.About 15 percent of those 70 and older have PAD. Its main sign is intermittent claudication.Your wife can do many things on her own that will help her. If her cholester-ol is high, she has to get it down. She has to maintain normal blood pressure. She must exercise within the limits pre-scribed by her doctor. Walking is one of the best exercises. If she starts out modestly and gradually increases the distance and pace, she should aim for 30 minutes of walking daily. When pain arises, she should stop, take a break and then resume once pain has gone. One simple test for determining PAD is

comparing blood pressure taken at the ankle with blood pressure taken in the arm. They should be nearly equal. If the ankle pressure is lower, that’s evidence of PAD.Your wife’s doctor will discuss the use of medicines like Plavix, Pletal and aspirin. With severe blockage of an artery, opening it up with a balloon-tipped catheter and inserting a shunt is one treat-ment. It’s the same procedure used for clogged heart arteries. Removing the obstructed artery segment and replacing it with a graft is another way to treat this illness.The booklet on PAD discusses the details of this common mal-ady in depth. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 109, Box 536475, Or-lando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose

a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Can. with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.

***DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Ever since I was 10 years old, I have had this prob-lem: If I set something down or reach or touch something, I have to touch it again to make it feel right. When I hang clothes, I reach for a hanger and then put it back for a different one. I do things like this all day. I am 55. Am I crazy? -- N.H.

ANSWER: You describe obsessive-compulsive disorder. You’re not crazy. Many people have it. It’s an irresistible urge to perform a certain ritual, like touching things a second time or con-stantly washing the hands. That’s the compulsion, an act that relieves inner unease, the obsession. Help is available. Ask the family doctor to refer you to a specialist in this disor-der. You’ve put up with it for too long.

***Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will in-corporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or re-quest an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

SNIPPETZ® HOME AND GARDEN

FALLGARDENINGCHECKLISTGardening in the fall is my favor-

ite time to garden, aside from the spring of course! But there

is something so satisfying about prepar-ing the gardens for next year. I love to clean up my perennial beds and cover them with a fresh layer of mulch; it’s like tucking them in for the winter. For a short time everything is perfectly clean, quiet and beautiful, that’s the obsessive compulsive Virgo in me talking! But then they are fully prepared for a long and hopefully snowy winter. I like how there is no rush unlike the exciting but very busy hustle of the spring. Of course the garden center and landscape compa-ny leave me very little time in the spring for my own gardens, so now is really when anything gets done!

As far as our lawns go those of us who have Tall Fescue, Bluegrass or Ryegrass can really benefi t from a fall fertiliza-tion. Fertilizing with a winterizer in early October promotes healthy deep root systems. Spring fertilizing alone can encourage too much top growth and a shallow root system which decreases its resistance to drought.

In our gardens however it’s time to stop fertilizing so we don’t encourage new growth that can get nipped in a freeze. Instead it’s good to remove any weeds and cut back anything that has fl opped

or looks bad. If it looks good I just leave it for the spring clean-up. It gives me something to look at and gives your roots more protection over the winter. Don’t forget to add a fresh layer of mulch to all of your garden beds.

If your summer blooming shrubs need pruning, you should do that soon so you don’t cut off the buds in the spring.

Give your garden a makeover. Try to take note in the summer of anything you’d like to move or divide and give your garden a mini makeover now since it’s cool and we’re fi nally getting some moisture. Then it’s all done to enjoy in the spring.

Fall is a great time to plant trees, shrubs and perennials. It’s cooler and they can spend the fall, winter and spring estab-lishing roots. So in the summer they can handle our hot summer days and put their energy into growing and fl ower-ing!

I would say my favorite gardening to do in the fall is plant spring-fl owering bulbs! I like to plant Narcissus, Chiono-doxa, and Allium because they don’t turn into expensive deer food later on! Be sure to apply a phosphorous fertilizer at planting.

While we are giving our vegetable gar-dens a good cleaning, after they quit producing of course, there is still garlic to be planted. It’s recommended to wait to plant until the fi rst week of October for big bulbs the following year.

Nature plants its seed in the fall when freezing nighttime temperatures are consistent, so the seed won’t germinate until spring. It is a great time to over-seed bare patches in your lawn or plant wildfl ower mixes.

For a burst of color; Mums, Pansies and Rudbeckia are readily available and of-ten come back the following year.

The last thing on our to-do list is simply enjoy! This weather is incredible and I feel so lucky to live in such a beautiful place! Enjoy everyone!

• On Sept. 24, 1789, The Judiciary Act of 1789 is passed by Congress and signed by President George Washington, establishing the Supreme Court of the United States as a tribunal made up of six justices. By 1869 the number of justices was increased to nine.

• On Sept. 30, 1868, the fi rst volume of Louisa May Alcott’s beloved children’s book “Little Women” is published.

• On Sept. 29, 1913, Rudolf Diesel, inven-tor of the engine that bears his name, dis-

• It was British playwright and not-ed wit Oscar Wilde who made the following sage observation: “Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.”

• If you’re like the typical human, your brain makes up only 2 percent of your body’s weight, but it uses about 20 percent of your body’s energy.

• Some people, it seems, have more money than sense. For example, in December of 2008, some unknown person paid $5,300 to buy a single tissue off eBay. What was so spe-cial about the tissue? Reportedly, it was used once by actress Scarlett Johansson. Fortunately, proceeds from the sale benefi ted a nonprofi t organization.

• The average ant lives less than two months.

• Using leeches as a form of medi-cal treatment is archaic, right?

Maybe not so much. As recently as 2004, a request to market leeches as medical devices was approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

• When the infamous Titanic was being built, shifts were 14 hours a day, and workers only had one day off a week. Each day, each worker was allowed a total of seven min-utes for bathroom breaks.

• Those who study such things say that marriages involving so-called mail-order brides have a lower rate of divorce than marriages that come about in more traditional ways.

***Thought for the Day: “Among men, it seems, historically at any rate, that processes of co-ordination and disintegration follow each other with great regularity, and the index of the co-ordination is the measure of the disintegration which follows. There is no mob like a group of well-drilled soldiers when they have thrown off their discipline. And there is no lostness like that which comes to a man when a perfect and certain pattern has dissolved about him. There is no hater like one who has greatly loved.” -- John Steinbeck

EARLY RISER SPECIAL!

ADD FLAVORWITH LEMONSIf you’re trying to reduce the amount

of salt you use to season your savory dishes, try lemon juice. Nothing adds

zest or intensity to a dish like a squeeze of lemon. Lemons also act as a fl avor catalyst, preparing the taste buds for the next fl avor.

Lemons provide a burst of brightness, fl a-vor and freshness to your recipes. Bright, yellow, tart and tangy, lemons are one of nature’s most versatile, healthy and deli-cious fruits. Since lemons are available throughout the year, they make an attrac-tive, affordable and accessible recipe in-gredient.

Adding lemon juice to marinades for grilled recipes is a great way to brighten up the fl avors. You also can grill lemon halves and squeeze the smoky juices over your dish for an added fl avor boost.

Try using a fresh, fragrant lemon for this Lemon Ginger Chicken with Carrot Ca-shew Slaw recipe. It’s guaranteed to bright-en up your day!

LEMON GINGER CHICKEN

WITH CARROTCASHEW SLAW

Lemon-Soy Sauce Marinade:1/4 cup fresh lemon juice1/4 cup canola or olive oil plus 1 table-spoon, reserved1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce2 tablespoons peeled, grated ginger2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar1 teaspoon hot chili-garlic sauce, such as Sriracha 4 boneless chicken breast halves, (about 1 to 1 1/2 pounds)

Salad:2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil 1 teaspoon soy sauce 1 teaspoon stevia or agave syrup2 cups coarsely grated carrot 1/2 cup roughly chopped cashews 1/3 cup minced green onions (roots dis-carded, white and light green parts)1/3 cup fi nely chopped fresh cilantro or Italian parsley leaves

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all of the marinade ingredients except the ta-blespoon of oil. Wash chicken and pat dry. Place the chicken between sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness.2. Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer on a rimmed platter or in a glass baking dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, coating it with the marinade on all sides. Set chicken aside to marinade while preparing the salad.

Salad:In a large bowl combine lemon juice, sesame oil, soy sauce and stevia or agave syrup until combined. Add remaining salad ingredients and mix well. Set aside at room temperature.

To cook the chicken:Using a large pan over high heat, add re-maining 1 tablespoon oil. Cook chicken, about 5 to 6 minutes per side. Cook until both sides are nicely browned and chicken is cooked through. Stack salad on top of the chicken. Serves 4.

New DVD Releases forWeek of September 24, 2012

PICKS OF THE WEEK“Marvel’s The Avengers” (PG-13) -- The blockbuster hit of the summer is now avail-able for your home viewing. Earth’s might-iest superheroes are assembled into one team to defend the world from an alien in-vasion led by Loki, the Norse god of chaos. Add that weird plot to truckloads of special effects and a star-studded cast wearing col-orful costumes, and somehow it all works. Of course it’s loud and silly, but it’s also a very fun ride, even for those who own

fewer than 100 comic books.Other super-movies have struggled to main-tain focus with just one hero. This movie uses Iron Man, Captain America, The Hulk, Thor, Black Widow and Hawkeye without getting too distracted. Director/writer Joss Whedon took on the ambitious endeavor and got audiences to suspend disbelief and cheer for the good guys.“Damsels in Distress” (PG-13) -- Violet Wister (Greta Gerwig) is a socially con-scious young woman at the center of a group of girls who care for the depressed and socially maligned populations of their university. Violet and her gals seeks to re-cruit Lily, a transfer student, into their little circle so she might learn their ways of dat-ing only socially inept guys and civilizing the party-animal demographic.Director Wilt Stillman puts the humor into the cadence and delivery of the innuendo-laden dialogue. This isn’t a National Lam-

poon-style college romp, but an eccentric, banter-heavy comedy about people with good intentions. “The Tall Man” (R) -- In a remote town where the weather forecast is always omi-nously grey skies, the townsfolk spread a creepy little rumor. Children go missing, and people say it’s because of a tall man. Jessica Biel plays a local nurse who doesn’t buy the story, until her own boy disappears. She goes on a parent’s nightmare journey for her child, only to get lost in a series of plot twists, conspiracies and missed oppor-tunities for the movie to end on a reason-able note.“Soldiers of Fortune” (R) -- Christian Slater is a tough ex-military kinda guy hired to protect some millionaires who want front-row tickets to a real war zone. Naturally and deservedly, the mission goes horribly awry and everybody’s lives are put in danger (more than anticipated, I guess).

This is one of those movies you see for rent that you’ve never heard of, but when you check the box it’s got a decent cast (Sean Bean, Ving Rhames, James Cromwell). Yet should you cross the line and attempt to watch this movie at home, you will be treated to an early bedtime by this snoozef-est of a convoluted action movie.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a good time for the usually outspoken Lamb to be a bit more discreet. You still can get your point across, but do it in a way less likely to turn off a potential supporter.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Good news: All that hard work you put in is beginning to pay off. But you need to watch that tendency to insist on doing things your way or no way. Be a bit more fl exible.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might want to delay making a decision on the fu-ture of a long-standing relationship until you check out some heretofore hidden details that are just now beginning to emerge.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your reluc-tance to compromise on an important issue could backfi re without more facts to support your position. Weigh your options carefully before making your next move.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) This is a good time for ambitious Leos or Leonas to shift from planning their next move to actually doing it. Your communication skills help per-suade others to join you.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Rela-tionships -- personal or professional -- pres-ent new challenges. Be careful not to let a sudden surge of stubbornness infl uence how you choose to deal with them.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might need more facts before you can decide on a possible career change. But you should have no problem making a decision about an important personal matter.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You’re respected by most people for your di-rect, no-nonsense approach to the issues. But be careful you don’t replace honest skepti-cism with stinging sarcasm.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A newly emerging situation could require a good deal of attention and some diffi cult decision-making. However, close friends will help you see it through.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Family matters need attention. Check things out carefully. There still might be unresolved tensions that could hinder your efforts to re-pair damaged relationships.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Of course you deserve to indulge yourself in something special. But for now, tuck that bit of mad money away. You’ll need it to help with a looming cash crunch.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A tem-porary setback in your fi nancial situation is eased by changing some of your plans. You’ll be able to ride it out quite well until the tide turns back in your favor.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for understanding people’s needs. You have a low tolerance for those who act without con-cern for others.

NEW LAYAWAYOPTIONS

To snag more of your holiday shopping dollars, one big-box store is extending its layaway

season by a month and changing the rules.

Walmart’s layaway season starts in mid-September, one month early this year, giving customers a full 90-day layaway period. You’ll put down 10 percent of your total (or $10, if greater). Each in-dividual item must cost more than $15, and your whole purchase must be more than $50. The benefi t is that your ac-count fee payment ($15, up from $5 last year) will be refunded to you in a gift card if you complete the layaway contract. The number of products has expanded as well, and now includes

some sporting goods and small appli-ances. Check your local store, as down payments vary by state.

Best Buy has a layaway program at selected stores. Items must total more than $250, and you’ll pay a hefty 25 percent down as well as a nonrefund-able 5 percent layaway fee. You’ll make payments every two weeks until it’s paid for. Many items don’t qualify for layaway: Clearance, limited quan-tity, closeout and promotional items aren’t eligible.

Kmart’s layaway seems to be the same as last year: $5 to open an account, $10 cancellation fee, and $15 down pay-ment (or 10 percent if greater). Make a payment every two weeks during an eight-week contract.

Sears offers layaway with $5 to open an account, $20 down (or 20 percent if greater) and a $15 cancellation fee. Payments are made every two weeks for an eight-week contract.

Toys “R” Us layaway requires a 20 percent down payment and a $5 service fee, but customers have 90 days to pay. Half the total must be paid by the 45-day mark.

A typical layaway transaction involves a 10 percent to 20 percent down pay-ment and a $5 service fee to open the account. Payments are made weekly until the items are paid for. Generally,

Serving Colorado Springs and surrounding areas since 1998

there’s a $10 fee for cancellation.

As the holiday shopping season gets under way, keep your eyes open for other stores to follow Walmart’s lead with more attractive layaway options.

If in doubt, call your favorite stores and ask whether they have layaway pro-grams. With stores wanting to capture all the consumer dollars they can get

this season, stores that have never had a program before might have one now.
