baking in the oven and one of the best ways to
usher in this fall is with the Apple Cake with Praline
Topping. This moist dessert has tender apples baked
in a delicious cake and then topped with a cooked
brown sugar frosting and chopped pecans making it
truly an Autumn treat.
Apple Cake with Praline Topping
For the cake:
3 cups All-Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Salt
2 cups Sugar
1 Vi cups Vegetable Oil
3 large Eggs
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
2 to 3 large Red Delicious or Granny Smith Apples
(peeled & diced small)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a tube pan,
then line the bottom with wax paper and set aside.
Combine the flour, baking soda and salt, then sift into
a medium size mixing bowl and set aside. In a large
mixing bowl and with an electric mixer, beat together
the sugar, vegetable oil and eggs. Beat the flour
mixture into the wet ingredients, then beat in the
vanilla extract. Fold in the diced apples, then add to
the prepared pan. Bake on the 3rd (middle) rack for
around 1 hour or until a fork comes out clean. Let
sit for 25 minutes, then run a knife around the sides
and in the center of the pan. Turn the pan over onto a
cake plate to cool. Make the praline topping.
For the topping:
4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar
1/4 cup Evaporated Milk
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 cup Powdered Sugar
1/3 cup chopped Pecans
In a 2-quart pot and over medium heat, bring butter,
brown sugar and evaporated milk to a boil, then cook
while stirring for 1 minute. Remove from heat and
stir in the vanilla extract, then stir in the powdered
sugar until combined. Drizzle the frosting over the
cake and sprinkle with chopped pecans.

It’s not a white
lie; it’s Afib.
Neighbors, September has
a variety of health awareness
focuses, including a
common condition. Atrial Fibrillation (AFib). Afib is a
heart condition primarily of the heart's electrical system;
however, Afib is often a consequence of predisposing
factors such as hypertension or sleep apnea. Over time,
such conditions exert excess stress, leading to structural
changes in the heart. Afib occurs when the heart's upper
chambers (atria) beat irregularly and often too quickly.
Instead of contracting efficiently to push blood into the
lower chambers (ventricles), the atria fibrillate or quiver,
resulting in an erratic heartbeat. This disorderly flow can
cause blood to pool, increasing the risk of blood clots and
subsequent stroke or other heart-related issues.
Several factors contribute to the development of AFib,
including age, high blood pressure, heart disease, sleep
apnea, obesity, diabetes, excessive alcohol consumption,
and thyroid problems. Additionally, genetic predisposition
and structural heart abnormalities can also play a role.
AFib can present with various symptoms, some of which
might be subtle. Common signs include palpitations (a
rapid, irregular heartbeat), fatigue, shortness of breath,
dizziness, and chest discomfort. However, it's important to
note that some individuals with AFib might not experience
any symptoms, making routine check-ups and screenings
crucial, especially for those at higher risk.
Continuous Afib is often diagnosed with a physical
exam and an EKG. However, detection of intemiittent
Afib requires prolonged monitoring with devices such as a
Holter monitor. Other tests like echocardiograms and stress
tests may help identify underlying causes or associated
conditions.
The primary goals of AFib treatment are to restore a
normal heart rhythm, manage symptoms, and reduce the
risk of complications.
Medications: Antiarrhythmic drugs can help regulate
heart rhythm, while anticoagulants or blood thinners are
prescribed to reduce the risk of blood clots and stroke.
Cardioversion: This procedure involves using electrical
shocks or medications to reset the heart's rhythm to a
normal pattern.
Ablation: A minimally invasive procedure where a
catheter is used to target and eliminate the abnormal heart
tissue causing the irregular rhythm.
Implantable Devices: Pacemakers or implantable
cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) can help regulate heart
rhythm and prevent dangerous arrhythmias.
Lifestyle Changes: Adopting a heart-healthy lifestyle,
including managing weight, controlling blood pressure,
reducing stress, and avoiding excessive alcohol and
caffeine, can play a significant role in managing AFib.

perfect time to come in and get the most valuable card in

Kanopy, our new streaming video service, which provides

kids’ movies and
series to anyone
with internet and
a library card.
And of course,
we can’t forget
GALILEO ,
one of the
best sources

of databases

normally pay a
fortune to get into, fromAncestry.com to Consumer Reports
to the Digital Library of Georgia to Mango Languages to...
well, you get the idea.
Still not enough? You can get free access to Georgia State
Parks & Historic Sites, the Chattahoochee Nature Preserve,

something. We’ve also got laptops available for checkout!
The library will be closed on Monday, September 4 for
Labor Day.
Our library is currently hosting a traveling exhibit called
FASHIONING A NATION: GERMAN IDENTITY &
INDUSTRY 1914-1945, which is an exploration of the
impact of the Holocaust on the fashion industry in Germany.
The industry was targeted due to the large number of
fashion houses in Germany at the time which were owned
and led by Jewish people. The exhibit is provided by the
Georgia Commission on the Holocaust and the Georgia
Public Library Service.
Want to know more about what’s happening at the library?
