From 2012 to 2016, over 14,000 people lost their lives in traffic accidents during the month of December alone. Don’t become a statistic — practice safe driving however and whenever you can. If you haven’t driven in winter conditions recently, then make some time to practice. The best places to do so are in empty parking lots, free of cars or pedestrians. This is a great tactic for learning how to maneuver your car should you lose traction and slide, and it’s a great way to give your muscle reactions a refresher. The simplest rules to remember are to slow down, stop early, and drive defensively by keeping alert. average, over 300 people die each year from alcohol- related crashes during this short time frame. If you know you’ll be consuming alcohol while out, always plan ahead and appoint a designated driver. This way, you can still have fun and know you’ll make it home safely. If you’re the sober driver, be extra aware of other drivers on the road. Call in any reckless drivers who pose a threat to others and then keep your distance from them, even if it means delaying your arrival time. Amid the fun of the holidays, it’s easy to forget that your car is at risk even when you’re not in it. Car theft and burglaries also increase during this time of year as people leave gifts in their unattended cars whether they’re parked at a store or at home. So, always remember to lock your doors, be mindful when giving your keys to parking attendants or valets, hide anything of value in the trunk, and always park in busy areas, preferably near a security camera or in a well-lit area. Play it safe this holiday season so you don’t miss out on any time with your loved ones. We understand some accidents are unavoidable, so give us a call if you do end up in an accident and need someone to look at your case. During the week between Christmas and New Year’s, drunk driving across the country becomes more prevalent. On
POTATO LATKES
INGREDIENTS • 2 large russet potatoes, scrubbed • 1 large onion, peeled and cut into quarters • 2 large eggs • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp kosher salt • 1 tsp baking powder • 1/2 tsp black pepper • Safflower or vegetable oil, for frying

Once grated, wrap in a clean dish towel or cheesecloth to wring out as much moisture as possible. 2. Transfer to a mixing bowl and mix in eggs, flour, salt, baking powder, and pepper. 3. Heat a heavy-bottomed pan containing 1/4-inch of oil over medium-high heat. Use a heaping tablespoon to drop batter into the hot pan, working in batches. Use a spatula or spoon to form them into discs. Fry about 5 minutes per side, until deeply browned. 4. Transfer to a paper towel-lined wire rack to drain, and serve alongside applesauce and sour cream.
