Proudly serving the residents of the Albany community.

MANAGERS CORNERHave you and your family been out to explore Albany and the surrounding area yet? With cooler weather coming and fewer bugs to worry about there are so many great things to see and do!

Some natural wonders include Radium Springs and Providence Canyon. Kolomoki Mounds State Park is a beautiful place to explore and learn about the Native Americans who originally lived in this area. The Golden Isles, beaches down in Florida, and historic Savannah are only a few hours away!

In Albany there is the Bridge House and Welcome Center downtown, the Flint Riverquarium right next door, Ray Charles Plaza, and Chehaw Park and Zoo. There are also a number of museums, ranging from modern art to civil rights to the area’s history.

Don’t forget there is also Wild Adventures Theme Park in Valdosta, and several exciting attractions, historical sites, and theme parks in Atlanta!

All of these make for wonderful day or weekend trips, so make sure to get out this fall and explore, play, learn, and enjoy. If you ever need any suggestions or help finding any attraction, you can always contact the housing office or the Information, Tickets, and Tours office at 639.8177.

TIPS AND TRICKSA few helpful tips and tricks are listed below. This is the Cold Weather Edition! If you would like to contribute, please email Rebekah Brown at rebrown@lpsi.com. • Open curtains on south-facing windows during the day. Your home will be naturally heated; just don’t forget to close them at night to keep the chill out from your home. • When you are home and awake, set your thermostat as low as is comfortable. • When you are asleep or out of the house, turn your thermostat back 10-15 degrees. • Decorate Halloween costumes and bags with reflective tape or stickers. • Have children carry glow sticks or flashlights to help them see, and be seen by drivers! • Simmer cloves, cinnamon sticks, nutmeg, vanilla, and orange rinds on the stove in water to make your home smell great! Just remember to keep an eye on the water level to keep from scorching your pot.

RECIPE SHARINGChicken Parmesan Casserole

Ingredients4 cups fully-cooked chicken, shredded or cubed1 jar (28 ounces) of marinara sauce 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese1 cup panko or whole wheat bread crumbs 1-2 tablespoons olive oilFresh, chopped herbs (parsley, basil, oregano, etc.), to taste Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2) Grease an 8x8 casserole dish with cooking spray. 3) Layer the chicken in the bottom. Dump in the marinara sauce and mix with the chicken. Next, top with cheeses until all the chicken is covered. 4) In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, olive oil, fresh herbs and a dash of salt and pepper together. 5) Sprinkle the seasoned breadcrumbs on top. 6) Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden on top and bubbling on the sides.

Freezer Meal Directions:Put casserole together and freeze it before baking. When you're ready to cook it, let it thaw in the fridge overnight. If it's still slightly frozen in the middle, you'll just have to cook it longer than the recipe calls for or defrost a bit in the microwave before baking. Cover it with foil if the top gets too brown in the oven.
