Answers ? ? ? ? Western Carolina is well known for its vibrant Fall leaf foliage and now is the time to start enjoying Nature's annual showcase. There are numerous outstanding vistas waiting for you just minutes' drive from Kings Mountain and Cleveland County. Keep in mind that leaves located in the highest elevations change and brighten fi rst and they are often the most colorful, while other leaves that are nestled in the North Carolina Foothills and Piedmont take a bit longer to reach their peak visibility. The Blue Ridge Parkway present a wide variety of well- known, breath-taking views. Just 130 miles from Kings Mountain, you can take the northern trek along this historic curving mountain pathway. Graveyard Fields which is found near the Pisgah National Forest as well as Linville Gorge is peaking now, displaying some wonderful color, especially in areas above 5,000 feet. Another popular leaf peeping destination along the Blue Ridge Parkway is Grandfather Mountain and the High Country region. Why not combine your sightseeing tour with one of North Carolina's many waterfalls and creeks? Along US 276 is the famous Sliding Rock, surrounded by nature's colorful canvas. Hike the 3-mile trail to Looking Glass Rock surrounded by a vast variety of trees with remarkable foliage in October through mid-November. Take NC 63 West to NC 209 where you'll fi nd Hot Springs with its hot mineral waters, including the historic Hot Springs Resort and Spa. Journey along US 19 between Maggie Valley and Cherokee to witness stunning Fall colors along with babbling brooks and experience a bit of local history along the way. Weather and quickly shifting Fall temperatures can alter the timing, duration, and brilliance of the changing leaf colors, so make sure to do a little reconnaissance before you venture out. The recent cold snap in the higher elevations will accelerate the changing colors. To plan your trip, check out a few excellent resources for up-to-minute leaf viewing forecasts and travel tips.

Shelby Shopper & Info 704-484-1047 fax: 704-484-1067 classifed@shelbyinfo.com Jack-o'-lanterns are one of many indelible symbols of Halloween. It's hard to pinpoint the precise origins of jack-o'-lanterns, but many historians trace the tradition to 19th century Ireland. In fact, this instantly recognizable staple of Halloween decor actually gets its name from an Irish folktale character named "Stingy Jack." Jack-o'-lanterns are ubiquitous in October, but a refresher course on carving one can help those who haven't dusted off their carving skills since last fall. • Don't carve too early. Though it can be tempting and fun to carve a jack-o'-lantern once the calendar turns to October, it's unlikely the fi nished product will make it all the way to October 31. Horticulturists indicate that jack-o'-lanterns have a shelf life of roughly fi ve to 10 days, though an especially cold October could shorten that life expectancy even further. If you want your jack-o'-lantern to greet trick- or-treaters on Halloween, wait to carve it until a few days before the big day. • Use a dry-erase marker to outline the design. It's easy to make mistakes when carving a jack-o'-lantern, especially if this is your fi rst time using a carving knife since last year. Use a dry-erase marker to trace the design onto the pumpkin before you make a cut. • Avoid severing the stem. When many people envision jack-o'-lanterns, the image in their minds is one in which the top of the pumpkin is removed so candles or lights can be effortlessly placed inside. However, the custom pumpkin carving experts at New York-based Maniac Pumpkin Carvers note that removing the top cuts off the vine, which supplies the pumpkin with nutrients and moisture, even after it's been cut. A whole in the back of the pumpkin can provide easy access when placing candles or lights inside, and cutting here won't cut off the nutrient and moisture supply a pumpkin needs to avoid drying out. • Scoop everything out. The interior of a pumpkin will be loaded with seeds, which can be removed and later roasted to make a savory snack. In addition to removing the seeds, be sure to get all of the pulp out. Pulp left in the pumpkin will soon get moldy and that can shorten the lifespan of the jack-o'-lantern. In addition, when removing the interior, try scraping the front inner wall of the pumpkin thin, which may make it easier to carve. • Avoid candles when lighting the interior of the jack-o'-lantern. Candles might seem like the most authentic and even spooky way to light the interior of the pumpkin, but the heat produced by a burning candle can shorten the life expectancy of the jack-o'-lantern. An LED light won't give off much heat and will provide ample illumination. A few simple tips can help Halloween celebrants ensure their jack-o'- lanterns make it all the way to the big day at the end of October. Tips to carve the perfect jack-o'-lantern
