By John DayCORRESPONDENT

This past Wednesday morning in Freeport, a distinguished group of gentlemen gathered for their weekly meeting. The group is known as the Romeo Club. Romeo is an acronym for Retired Old Men Eating Out. Each Wednesday the assemblage meets at a different restaurant, in a different town for their morning meal. The loca-tions of the meetings can be Freeport, Stockton, Forreston or some other nearby town. On this day the meeting was at the Family Affair restaurant and service was provided by Rachel who said, “It’s always fun taking care of these guys.”

The goal of the club is simply get-ting together once a week to stay in touch, keep up with one another’s do-ings and providing solutions to many of the world’s problems. Of course, all of this is done while having breakfast. The organization was founded about five years ago by the late Lee Bas-tian and Leland Wenzel. Wenzel, now 93, is the ranking member due to his age. Gary Hawkinson is the young-est at 80. The other members are Jim

Ammentorp, Delbert Scheider, Herb Booth, Willie Kayser, Gus Petrakis, Jim Swain, Milt Whitney. The back-grounds of the members are varied, representing former professions that include farming, mortuary science, sales and ministry. Hawkinson said, “We don’t have dues or membership fees. Just come along and enjoy the meeting.”

When asked about what the biggest changes have been in the lifetime of the members, Wenzel said, “Farming and the technology in farming. Dairy herds are incredibly large compared to 70 years ago. I’m amazed at what can be done today. So much today that is automated; I was doing by hand when I was young.”

Delbert Scheider agreed and said, “The cost of land, equipment and supplies has really grown as well. Farming has become much more busi-ness-like.”

All of the club members expressed concerns about the decline in popu-lation and the loss of manufacturing jobs in the Freeport area. The club was unanimous in its unhappiness over the Freeport City Hall issue. While every-

one would like to see the venerable old building saved, there is an understand-ing of the costs involved. Never the less, Hawkinson said, “We think the people should have more to say about the buildings future.”

Hawkinson spoke of the pleasure he takes in being able to travel now that he has retired. He hopes to visit a num-ber of the big national parks. A few members made humorous remarks about the growing number of senior care homes that have been built in Freeport in recent years. When asked

about seeing Freeport elect its first fe-male mayor, Hawkinson said, “It’s a sign of the times”

Someone else chimed in saying, “It’s about time. A good woman for the job is better than a bad man for the job.”

On a national scale all were con-cerned about the current state of affairs in the country. The concerns expressed were pretty much those of mainstream America regardless of age, economic background or locale. Worries range from the overall economy to Social

Security and Medicare. National se-curity and world security seem as im-portant as ever and the safety of citi-zens will always be a priority.

Sociologists and the medical pro-fession have been saying for years that retaining good health, physically and emotionally, is dependent on a network of friends and family. Social activity and interpersonal relation-ships become a more important part of our daily lives as we age. The Romeo Club is certainly living proof of this theory.

Sales of Powerball and Mega-Millions lottery tickets have now resumed in Illinois after the budget standoff forced retailers to suspend sales.

Officials say the state has lost more

than $1 million in revenue due to that gap. The state takes about 40% of the lottery system’s profits. Sales of Mega Million tickets stopped June 28 and Powerball sales stopped June 30.

The current Powerball jackpot is $155 million with a drawing Wednes-day. No one won the MegaMillions jackpot, and so that jackpot rises to $217 million for Friday night’s draw-ing.

The online grant application is found at http://freeportcommunityfoundation.org/grants/grant-application.

Online applications must be submitted to the Freeport Community Foundation by 4:00 pm. Friday, September 1, 2017. Any 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization in Stephenson, Jo Daviess, and Carroll Counties and the surrounding northwest Illinois communities may apply.

Grant awards will be announced at the Foundation’s annual fall grant reception to be held at the Eagles Club on Thursday, October 26, 2017.

The Northwest Illinois Forestry Association (NIFA) has arranged for a group tour of the Aldo Leopold Center and farm near Baraboo, Wis-consin, on Saturday, July 22, from 1 until 4 p.m. Both NIFA members and the general public is welcome to join this tour. The Aldo Leopold Foundation will charge each tour at-tendee an admission fee of $10, or $8 for those over age 62.

Considered by many to be the father of wildlife ecology and the United States’ wilderness system, Aldo Leopold was a conservation-ist, forester, philosopher, educator, writer, and outdoor enthusiast. With more than two million copies sold,

his “Sand County Almanac” has become one of the most respected books about the environment ever published, and Leopold has come to be regarded by many as the most in-fluential conservation thinker of the 20th century.

The tour will explore the Foun-dation’s ongoing stewardship of the pines, prairies, and floodplain forests within the historic Leopold Shack property and surrounding 600 acres. This land, the chief inspiration for Aldo Leopold’s essays, was restored by his family from a barren state us-ing Leopold’s “land ethic” that bal-ances the needs of both people and nature, focusing on the health of the

soil, water, and resident plants and animals. The tour will also visit the Leopold Center, one of the most re-source-efficient buildings in the na-tion when it opened in 2007.

Tour attendees are advised to wear closed-toed shoes and long pants due to the prevalent poison ivy and ticks. While there are no food facilities on site, attendees may use an outdoor seating area if they bring a bag lunch to eat prior to the tour. If you are planning to attend, please let Jerry Misek know by Friday, July 21, at (815) 598-3215.

About 11 miles northeast of Bara-boo, Wisconsin, the Aldo Leopold Center is located at E13701 Levee Road, just west of the intersection of Schepp and Levee Roads in the ru-ral township of Fairfield. Note that Levee Road is not always marked as such; look for the brown Rustic Road markers instead (Rustic Road #49).

NIFA is a non-profit association of woodland owners dedicated to promoting sustainable forest man-agement.

University of Illinois Extension has partnered with the Illinois State Board of Education, to offer profes-sional development trainings on Au-gust 2 or August 9 from 8:15 a.m. – 4 p.m. The August 2, training will be held at the Pearl City High School, 100 South Summit St, Pearl City IL.

the trainings and to register, call us at 815-235-4125 or visit us online: http://web.extension.illinois.edu/jsw

The National School Lunch Pro-gram (NSLP) is the second largest food and nutrition assistance pro-gram within the nation. Serving on average 30.4 million lunches each day during the school year. Consid-

ering the vast number of students receiving school meals, and the need to ensure students have the nutrition they need to focus and learn through-out the day, the NSLP is a vital aspect of the school day.

The NSLP has received a great deal of attention over the past few years, due to the recent changes stemming from the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (HHFKA). With many asking why changes needed to occur to the NSLP. The answer is simple. National and state authorities care about the health and wellbeing of our children.

Healthcare providers and nutrition researchers have long recognized that children, who consume balanced nutritious meals, often perform better in school. Therefore, improving the quality of the meals served during the school day is an essential step to-wards ensuring students are consum-ing nutritious foods that provide the basis for academic achievement.

“The changes made to the NSLP are actually based on the Dietary Guidelines, which serve as a frame-work to help us to make healthy food choices. And following these guidelines are especially important,

because we know there is a strong relationship between diet and many chronic diseases,” states Diane Rein-hold, U of I Extension, Nutrition and Wellness Educator.

The need to establish healthy eat-ing habits is critical. And the younger these healthy eating habits are estab-lished, the more likely they will be continued throughout life. This is es-pecially important, as we are seeing a significant increase in the number of school age children with increased blood pressure and body weight, which are precursors to developing chronic diseases, previously only as-sociated with middle age adults.

Schools, foodservice authorities (SFA), and parents have all faced challenges in understanding and implementing the new guidelines. Therefore, to help schools and school foodservice professionals meet the requirements of the HHFKA; the USDA has established professional standards for SFA. These standards allow SFA to receive continuing edu-cation and training to aid in creating nutritious, safe and enjoyable meals.

Timber Lake Playhouse, the pro-fessional summer theatre of North-west Illinois, presents the interactive comedy, Scapino!, July 13 through 22, at the playhouse in Mount Car-roll. Will Taylor, whose Broadway credits include The Mel Brooks Mu-sicals, The Producers and A Chorus Line, returns to direct the play at TLP. He most previously helmed A Chorus Line for the company in 2013.

The production features TLP fa-vorites Kieran McCabe (Stacy Jaxx in Rock of Ages) and Grant Brown (Bert in Mary Poppins) leading the 2017 resident company as a group of ragtag, traveling actor-musicians who arrive at the playhouse with the audience each night, entertaining them with songs, side shows, and special tricks before deciding it’s time to put on a play. That play, of course, is the story of Scapino!. The Wall Street Journal calls the experi-ence, “An evening of sheer, unadul-terated delight.”

Scapino! takes place around a dockside cafe in 1970s Naples, Ita-ly, where the title character devises a complex plot to help two pairs of lovers fight against parental opposi-tion that, it turns out, may not actu-ally exist. Scapino is a rapscallion, a fast-talking, quick-thinking scamp who cleverly manipulates and ca-joles everyone into doing whatever he intends them to do. Authors Frank Dunlop and Jim Dale, who also orig-inally starred, have created a non-stop comedy with stock characters, slapstick, acrobatics and even some burlesque Although Scapino! is not a musical, it is punctuated with songs that give the evening a zany and magical feel.

Artistic Director James Beaudry says of the play, “Scapino! is--with-out question--the funniest play I’ve had the pleasure of sitting through a rehearsal of in many, many years. The ridiculousness is deliriously fun, and the entire evening feels like a great party among friends.”

Andrew Milliken serves as music supervisor for the production. The

Attorney General Lisa Madigan today announced her office issued guidance for law enforcement agen-cies throughout the state under a new landmark law that was enacted to im-prove the response to sexual assault and sexual abuse crimes in Illinois. The Comprehensive Guidelines and Sample Policy Language for Law En-forcement Policies on Responding to and Investigating Sexual Assault and Sexual Abuse are now available on the Attorney General’s website, and are part of the new law that requires specialized training and policies for law enforcement to respond to sexual assault crimes.

In 2015, Madigan created the Joint Sexual Assault Working Group with the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office, the St. Clair County State’s Attorney’s Office and the Illinois Co-alition Against Sexual Assault. The

Working Group was formed to address the fact that most survivors of sexual assault do not report their crimes to law enforcement authorities. In 2016, the Working Group drafted and worked to pass the Sexual Assault Incident Proce-dure Act to improve the response of the criminal justice system to survivors of sexual assault.

The Act requires law enforcement in Illinois to adopt evidence-based, trauma-informed policies and requires specialized sexual assault training for first responders and law enforcement authorities. Under the law, every law enforcement agency is required to de-velop, adopt and implement written policies for incidents of sexual assault or sexual abuse by Jan. 1, 2018. The policies must be consistent with the guidance issued by Madigan’s office in consultation with the Illinois Law En-forcement Training Standards Board

and the Illinois State Police. “We took a comprehensive look at

why sexual assault survivors rarely re-port their crimes to law enforcement, and it was clear that our criminal jus-tice system can and must respond, investigate and better support survi-vors,” Madigan said. “The new law is intended to encourage more survivors of these devastating crimes to come forward, receive justice and begin the healing process. These comprehensive guidelines will help to ensure law en-forcement agencies are responsive to survivors.”

Sheriffs, police chiefs, prosecutors and victim advocates played a critical role in the development of the guide-lines and sample policy over the last year.

“We want victims of sexual assault to report the crimes against them and receive the assistance and justice that

they deserve, and this law and our working group had them in mind every step of the way,” Ed Wojcicki, execu-tive director of the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police said. “The Illinois Chiefs were at the table with the At-torney General’s staff, Illinois State Police, advocacy groups and others for more than a year working on these guidelines, and we are grateful to At-torney General Madigan for making the implementation of this new law an outstanding collaborative process.”

The issuance of the Comprehensive Guidelines is the latest step in the im-plementation of the Sexual Assault In-cident Procedure Act, which includes additional significant changes in the handling of sexual assault cases:

Law enforcement officers are re-quired to complete written reports of every sexual assault complaint, regard-less of who is reporting the crime and

where it occurred.Survivors are able to request updates

on the status of the testing of their sex-ual assault evidence by the state crime lab. Law enforcement agencies are required to respond to status requests unless doing so would compromise or impede an ongoing investigation.

The time period for survivors to consent to the testing of their sexual assault forensic evidence will be ex-tended from 14 days to five years after the assault. Survivors under the age of 18 at the time of the crime will have five years from their 18th birthday to consent to the testing of the evidence.

In addition to the Comprehensive Guidelines and sample policy lan-guage, also available on the Attorney General’s website are victim notice forms in 10 different languages, which law enforcement may use when imple-menting other requirements of the Act.

Attorney General Madigan issues guidance to Illinois law enforcement to improve response to sexual assault and sexual abuse crimes

Bustos votes to pass bipartisan National Defense Authorization ActToday, Congresswoman Cheri Bus-

tos (IL-17) voted for the bipartisan National Defense Authorization Act. This bill authorizes $621.5 billion in discretionary base budget authority, including for the activities of DOD, as well as for the defense-related activities of the Department of Energy. The bill also authorizes $74.6 billion for Over-seas Contingency Operations (OCO), $10 million of which is to be used for base-budget requirements, amounting to a total of $631.5 billion for base bud-get requirements and $64.6 billion for OCO requirements.

The National Defense Authorization Act included two amendments Bustos included to strengthen the Rock Island Arsenal.

First, by working across the aisle over the last several days, Bustos suc-cessfully included an amendment that

will reduce government waste and help strengthen the Rock Island Arsenal by requiring the Department of Defense to ensure that there isn’t any usable space available on a military installation be-fore entering into expensive leases or purchasing additional property. This would help ensure that space at the Rock Island Arsenal, and other military installations, are maximized before the military leases additional space.

In June, Congresswoman Bustos in-serted another amendment during the committee process. This amendment would require the Secretary of the Army to issue guidance on how it will decide which items to make at Army ar-senals and which it will purchase from other sources with the goal of ensuring that arsenals have sufficient workload to keep their workforce skilled and their products affordable.

VIEWPOINT

Just last week, we celebrated Amer-ica’s independence and reaffirmed our faith in our great experiment in de-mocracy. This week, that great exper-iment of ours is under threat. Because of Russian arrogance and President Donald Trump’s inability to level with the American people, we face the dan-

ger of a constitutional crisis.It seems like every 15 minutes,

there is a new story about the presi-dent’s associates’ interactions with Russia. And now the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., is involved.

Trump Jr. met last year with a for-eign person who claimed to be work-ing with the Russian government and promised to help his father win the election. Based on the emails that Trump Jr. himself released, it appears that he colluded with Russia to affect the outcome of our election and may have violated federal law. To make matters worse, this news came out on the heels of President Trump’s G-20 meeting in Warsaw where he made the ridiculous suggestion that we part-ner with Russia on a cybersecurity task force.

Meanwhile, the White House re-sponse to all of this has been misdi-

rection, denial, and silence. So what can Americans and lawmakers do about it?

First, Republicans in the House should stop coddling Russia and pass the Senate’s Russia sanctions bill. Second, the White House needs to work with us to protect states’ elec-tion infrastructure. And third, Con-gress must engage in a comprehensive investigation to get to the bottom of what occurred in this dark chapter of America’s history. President Trump needs to stop stonewalling and let Congress and Special Prosecutor Bob Mueller do their job.

Two hundred and forty one years ago, our founding fathers had the courage to risk their lives for the in-alienable rights that we all cherish. It is now up to us to defend those rights from Russian meddling and presiden-tial intrigue.

The Durbin Report: President Trump needs to stand up to Russia for attacking our democracy

The bill passed by a bipartisan vote of 344 to 81.

“Despite a highly partisan environ-ment in Washington, I am proud that we were able to come together today and work across party lines to pass a National Defense Authorization bill that will strengthen our local economy while providing our men and women in

uniform with the resources they need to succeed,” said Congresswoman Cheri Bustos. “I’m very pleased that his leg-islation provides funding to support our defense industry in Rockford and the Air National Guard base in Peoria. The Rock Island Arsenal is the economic engine that drives our economy in the Quad Cities and I want to thank my col-

leagues for including my amendments to ensure we’re doing all we can to strengthen the Arsenal. By making sure that the military has to look to our Arse-nals before leasing new space and mak-ing Arsenals more competitive, we’re helping ensure a brighter economic fu-ture for thousands of hardworking men and women from our community.”

Stockton Unitarian Universalist Church of Stockton was recently honored by Illinois Transportation Secretary Randy Blankenhorn for 20 years of service with the Adopt-A-Highway program. To commemorate the occasion, and to honor all Adopt-

A-Highway groups, a redbud tree was planted on the campus of the Il-linois Department of Transportation headquarters in Springfield.

“Our Adopt-A-Highway volun-teers donate hours of their time each year out of pride for their state and to

give visitors a great first impression of Illinois,” said Illinois Transporta-tion Secretary Randy Blankenhorn. “We are extremely proud and appre-ciate their service to the state.”

Launched in Illinois in 1996, the Adopt-A-Highway program has grown to include more than 1,000 volunteer organizations that help to maintain approximately 2,500 miles of state highways. By signing up for the program, volunteers commit to cleaning their designated sections of highway four times each year. Com-mon items collected are cigarette butts, beverage containers, paper and food wrappers – litter that could easily be deposed of properly, but is costly to clean up, negatively affects the environment and is hazardous to motorists.

“We are honored to have such dedicated volunteer groups in Dis-trict 2,” said Illinois Department of Transportation District 2 Adopt-A-Highway coordinator, Kem Tresel. “They’ve made a real difference in our communities, and we are very grateful for their invaluable contri-butions.”

To learn more about the Adopt-A-Highway program and a full listing of Illinois’ 20-year honorees, visit http://www.idot.illinois.gov/about-idot/employment-opportunities/com-munity-involvement/index.

The next Regional Transporta-tion Committee meeting for Region 1 (Boone, Carroll, Jo Daviess, Ste-phenson, and Winnebago Counties) will be held on Thursday, July 27, at 10 a.m. at Freeport Public Li-brary located at 100 E. Douglas St., Freeport, IL 61032. Human service organizations with an interest in

public transportation are strong-ly encouraged to attend as well as anyone that is interested in public transit.

The Regional Transportation Committee is responsible for the development and implementation of the Human Services Transporta-tion Plan (HSTP). HSTP identifies transportation needs and develops solutions to improve transportation services for the general public. An emphasis is placed on seniors, peo-ple with disabilities, individuals with lower incomes, and veterans.

The Illinois Department of Trans-portation has formed an agreement with North Central Illinois Coun-cil of Governments (NCICG) for the purposes of preparing, imple-menting, and updating the plan for Region 1 (Boone, Carroll, Jo Da-viess, Stephenson, and Winnebago Counties) and Region 3 (Bureau, DeKalb, Grundy, Kendall, LaSal-le, Lee, Ogle, and Putnam Coun-ties). For more information about NCICG, HSTP, or if special accom-modations are needed, contact Kim Zimmerman at (815) 433-5830.

The Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes (CSA) and SSM Health have signed a letter of intent (LOI) to trans-fer sponsorship of Agnesian Health-Care based in Fond du Lac, WI, and Monroe Clinic based in Monroe, WI. The parties will begin a due diligence process with the goal of integrating the hospitals and affiliate organiza-tions within the SSM Health system.

As mission-driven organizations, SSM Health and CSA share a com-mitment to ensuring the long-term sustainability of Catholic healthcare and providing exceptional healthcare services to meet the needs of the pa-tients and communities they serve across Wisconsin.

The decision to pursue a transfer was initiated and guided by CSA, who established the health ministries more than 100 years ago. Changes in the Wisconsin payer and provider markets, combined with the changing demographics of the Congregation, led CSA to consider how to best up-

hold the legacy of its healthcare min-istries and maintain the level of care that patients and communities expect.

“We are incredibly proud of the quality and compassionate health-care provided through our ministries. Both institutions powerfully bring our values and mission to life,” said Sister Jean Steffes, General Superi-or of the Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes. “The time is right for us to focus on the long-term sustain-ability of Agnesian HealthCare and Monroe Clinic. With their reputation for mission-driven, high-quality and compassionate care, we believe SSM Health is a strong strategic partner to both preserve and advance the orga-nizations.”

A Catholic, not-for-profit health system, SSM Health is one of the largest integrated delivery systems in the nation, and shares with CSA a heritage of serving the people of Wis-consin for more than 100 years. SSM Health provides exceptional care in

18 counties across south-central Wis-consin through a comprehensive net-work of hospitals, physician offices, and care centers, as well as a health plan and pharmacy benefit Manage-ment Company.

“CSA’s healthcare ministries, Ag-nesian HealthCare and Monroe Clin-ic, are pillars of strength in the com-munity and have a bright and vibrant future,” said Laura Kaiser, President

and CEO of SSM Health. “We are honored that CSA has chosen us to preserve and advance their ministries, and we are excited to begin this jour-ney. Bringing our organizations to-gether would enable us to further ex-pand access to affordable high-qual-ity care in communities throughout Wisconsin, ensuring patients get the care they need, when and where they need it most.”

The diligence process is expected to take several months. The terms of the LOI are not being disclosed.

“We are able to take this step to-day knowing that our caregivers and SSM Health share a commitment to providing exceptional care for resi-dents and communities throughout Wisconsin. It is our hope that they will advance our legacy for years to come,” explained Sr. Steffes.

The public is invited to tour the FHN Leonard C. Ferguson Cancer Center, meet FHN’s cancer care pro-viders and hear about some of the latest developments in cancer care at an upcoming open house.

The event is free to attend, and will run from 5:30 – 7 p.m. Wednes-day, July 26 at the Cancer Center, 1163 W. Stephenson Street in Free-port.

The FHN Leonard C. Ferguson Cancer Center provides state-of-the-art treatments usually only available

in metropolitan university hospitals, allowing patients to receive excel-lent treatment without traveling far from friends and family.

FHN’s cancer care providers, in-cluding two new physicians who have begun offering treatment at FHN in the past year, will give a short presentation on the latest de-velopments in cancer care and be available for questions.

Refreshments will be served at the event, and giveaways will be provid-ed. No registration is necessary.

As much as running top-down on a sunny fall day in this Grand Sport was pure joy, I think I’m partial to the hardtop 2010 version we sampled a few weeks back. That car was less expensive (by about $6,000) w

FROM LENA’S KITCHEN

The not so skinny cook

We once again had some rain chal-lenges, some heat and humidity, and then a cool down. I think we are on our way back to hot and humid July weather. This week there is a great appetizer using corn because it will start to come in very soon. Different tasting coleslaw and a different take on Caesar salad along with a great main dish and some yummy desserts round out this week’s column. Enjoy cooking this week’s recipes.

This cool tasting appetizer uses both cream cheese and sour cream. You can find the olive oil mayon-naise in most grocery stores. It will give the corn dip a different flavor than regular mayo. The Mexican style four cheese packages are made by most cheese companies in most grocery stores. This blend is a staple in a lot of households because of the popularity of Mexican food. This ap-petizer is a good one for the summer and all year round.

Cold Corn Dip4 oz. cream cheese½ C. sour cream½ C. olive oil mayonnaise1 t. Worcestershire sauce1 pkg. (9 oz.) finely shredded

Mexican Style Four Cheese1½ C. fresh corn kernels1 can (4 oz.) chopped green chil-

ies, drained2 chopped green onionsFresh cilantro2 green onion, choppedIn a bowl, mix the cream cheese,

sour cream, mayo, and Worcester-shire until well blended. Add shred-ded cheese, corn kernels, green chil-ies, chopped onions. Refrigerate 1 hour and top with fresh cilantro and green onions right before serving. Serve with vegetables and crackers.

Cabbage is beginning to appear in Farmer’s Markets, and will continue to do so for a while. I am always looking for new and different ways to make coleslaw. This recipe uses a sweet and sour dressing. It is easy to make and a nice change from regular

coleslaw.

Honey Mustard Coleslaw1 head green cabbage, quartered,

cored, and sliced thin (abut 12 cups)Salt1½ t. sugar½ C. spicy brown mustard¼ C. honey3 T. minced fresh chives2 T. mayonnaiseToss cabbage, sugar, and salt (start

with 1 teaspoon of salt and add as necessary) together in a large bowl.

Transfer to colander and set colander in the empty bowl. Let stand until cabbage has wilted and released about 2 tablespoons water, about 1 hour, stirring and pressing on cab-bage occasionally with rubber spat-ula.

Discard liquid and wipe bowl clean with paper towels. Whisk mustard, honey, chives, mayo, ½ tea-spoon pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in the empty bowl until combined. Stir in the cabbage and refrigerate, covered, until chilled, about 1 hour.

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Coleslaw can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.

Cauliflower is the new “in” vegeta-ble. They are mashing it and substi-tuting it for mashed potatoes. They are roasting it, steaming it, and stir frying it. It no longer just the white vegetable on the relish tray. Try this unique Caesar Salad made with cau-liflower.

Cauliflower Caesar Salad2 heads cauliflower into large flo-

retsOlive oilSalt1/3 C. plain yogurt1/3 C. olive oil½ C. grated parmesan1 t. Worcestershire sauce1 t. Dijon mustard Juice of one lemon1 C. croutonsFresh parsley

¼ C. toasted pine nutsSalt and pepper to tasteToss the cauliflower florets with

olive oil and salt. Roast on 2 baking sheets at 425 until browned and ten-der, 35-40 minutes; let cool

In a bowl, whisk yogurt and olive oil, parmesan, Worcestershire, Di-jon, and lemon juice. Add the cau-liflower, croutons, and fresh parsley, pine nuts. Season and a seasoning of black pepper to taste and toss.

Need a hearty meaty casserole? This recipe is for you. It has some

pasta, hamburger, ham, and pepper-oni. If you can’t find the diced to-matoes with basil, garlic, and orega-no, choose the tomatoes you would like or use regular canned tomatoes and add basil, garlic and oregano seasoning. As I said in the appetizer recipe, the shredded cheeses come in many ways these days. This one calls for the Italian blend of cheeses. If you just want to use mozzarella and parmesan, it would work out just fine

Cheesy 3-Meat Pasta Pie1 lb. rigatoni1 lb. ground beef1 pkg. (8 oz.) diced ham1 C. quartered pepperoni slices1 C. chopped onion1 jar (26 oz.) pasta sauce1 can (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes

with basil, garlic, and oregano1 t. Italian seasoning¼ t. crushed red pepper3 C. shredded Italian 6-cheese

blend, dividedPrepare rigatoni according to

package directions and keep warm. Preheat the oven to 350. Spray a 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray.

In a large skillet, cook ground beef, ham, pepperoni and onion over medium heat, stirring often, until beef is browned and crumbly. Drain well on paper towels and return to skillet. Stir in pasta sauce, toma-toes, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper. Add 2 cups cheese, stir-ring until cheese melts.

In a large bowl, combine the beef mixture and rigatoni. Spoon the mixture into prepared baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake for 10 minutes longer.

This easy bundt cake can be dec-orated with red and blue sugars or sprinkles. You can leave it plain if you want. The cake is moist and looks great on the cake plate.

July Bundt Cake2 sticks unsalted butter, at room

temperature, plus more for the pan2¾ C. flour, plus more for dust-

ing2 t. baking powder¼ t. baking soda½ t. salt1 2/3 C. sugar4 large eggs at room temperature

½ C. sour cream1 T. vanilla¾ C. buttermilkGlaze2 C. powdered sugar1 T. fresh lemon juice½ t. vanillaSprinkles for toppingMaking the cake: Preheat the

oven to 325. Butter a 10 to 12 cup bundt pan, making sure to get in all the crevices, dust with flour and tap out the excess. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.

Beat the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl on medium-high speed until light and fluffy about 4 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then beat in the sour cream and vanilla. The batter may look curdled. Reduce the mixer speed to medium low and add the floor mixture in three batches, alter-nating with buttermilk; beat until combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 55 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 14 minutes in the pan, loosen the edge of the cake with a knife and invert onto the rack to cool completely.

Making the glaze: whisk the powdered sugar, lemon juice, va-nilla and 1 tablespoon of water in a bowl , add a splash more water if the glaze is too thick. Spoon over the cake, letting it drip down the sides. Decorate with sprinkles. Let stand until set, 5 to 10 minutes.

If you like lemon and pistachios, these cookies are just what you or-dered. Add a little coconut and you have what I would call an island treat. For those of us who are not on an ocean, lake, or river, these cookies could transport us there with their great taste.

Lemon Pistachio Macaroons

1/3 C. shelled unsalted pistachios3 large egg whites½ C. sugar1 T. finely grated lemon zest¾ t. vanilla1/8 t. salt

3 packed cups of sweetened shredded coconut

Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and pre-heat to 325. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Pulse the pistachios in a food processor un-til finely ground but not powdery. Whisk the egg whites with the sug-ar, lemon zest, vanilla and salt in a large bowl until frothy. Stir in the pound pistachios, and then stir in the coconut until completely com-bined.

Scoop heaping tablespoons of the coconut mixture onto the pre-pared pans. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the macroons are golden, 25-30 min-utes. Let cool 10 minutes on the pans, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

We are racing through July and some of the fairs are beginning to be part of our entertainment. A lot of my friends are vacationing at the lake, and I am envious. However, I do have some good things happen-ing that just happen in summer. I have my first tomato on the vine, so summer is marching on. I am keeping an eye on him, and he is slowly turning from green to red. I am looking forward to my first BLT of the season. My hibiscus plants are blooming each day with beautiful flowers. I don’t think I have ever had such beautiful and plentiful blooms on my plants. My flower garden out back is also very pretty. I never water back there, so they are on their own. All this rain certainly has made them look great.

Hope to see you downtown on Wednesday evening for the Gath-ering. Each week brings more to the Farmer’s Market. Food venders will be there again. Benchwarmers will have Cheese Curds, Café 217 drinks and ice cream, the Farmer’s Market, the bread truck, and sev-eral other unique vendors will also be there. We continue to look for summer recipes that feature black or red raspberries, strawberries, radishes, onions, and asparagus.

KID’S CORNER

Frogs are fascinating animals that feature unique behaviors and charac-teristics.

Keep reading for more interesting information and frog facts.

A frog is an amphibian. They lay their eggs in water. The eggs hatch into a tadpole which lives in water until it metamorphoses into an adult frog.

Tadpoles look more like fish than frogs, they have long finned tails and breathe through gills.

An amphibian can live both on land and in water.

Although frogs live on land their habitat must be near swamps, ponds or in a damp place. This is because they will die if their skin dries out.

Instead of drinking water, frogs soak it into their body through their skin.

Frogs breathe through their nos-trils while also absorbing about half the air they need through their skin.

Frogs use their sticky, muscular tongue to catch and swallow food. Unlike humans, their tongue is not attached to the back of its mouth. Instead it is attached to the front, en-abling the frog to stick its tongue out much further.

The common pond frog is ready to breed when it is only three years old.

Frogs in the wild face many dan-gers and are lucky to survive sever-al years. In captivity however, frogs

can live for much longer. Frogs can see forwards, sideways

and upwards all at the same time. They never close their eyes, even when they sleep.

Remarkably, frogs actually use their eyes to help them swallow food. When the frog blinks, its eyeballs are pushed downwards creating a bulge in the roof of its mouth. This bulge squeezes the food inside the frog’s mouth down the back of its throat.

When I grow upWhat will you be when you grow

up? Talk to the real women and men who work in our town and find out what they do during “When I Grow Up” on Friday, July 21.

Solve problems like an engineer, frost like a baker, tinker like a techni-cian, and study like a scientist. Enjoy hands-on activities related to differ-ent fields as you deliver mail, harvest eggs, fly planes, build rockets, turn screws, and more!

Activities are ongoing from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and included with museum admission - $8/person; free to members and children age 1 and younger. Sponsored in part by the Bengt and Mary Kuller Endowment of the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois; SwedishAmeri-can-a division of UW Health; and the Illinois Arts Council Agency.

Have a dance party. Play your kids’ favorite tunes and let them boogie.

Play in rain. The kids will love the chance to do something that’s taboo.

Have a tea party. Pull out those fancy silver trays or plates you never use (or stick with plastic for toddlers), pile on some cookies and treats, and get dressed for high tea.

Participate in nature pro-grams. City park systems that have nature centers usually offer free pro-grams for children that let them ex-plore the outdoor world.

Play hide and seek. Its’ a favorite at our house, and you can do it indoors or outdoors.

Build ice castles. Freeze water in plastic containers of various sizes then let the kids take the ice blocks outside and create castles with them.

Play charades. My family played

this when I was a teen, and we’d try to come up with impossibly difficult things to act out. Download the free Charadium app to your iPad or smart phone -- it’s loads of fun.

Have an egg toss, then hose the kids

down after (if your kids are squeamish, avoid this activity).

Visit a pet store. Think of it as a mini petting zoo. Just warn the kids before you go that you won’t be bring-ing home a pet (unless you actually

want to). You also could take the kids to the humane society, which might need volunteers to walk the dogs.

Take a trip to the dollar store. My sister used to take my kids to the dol-lar store for a little math lesson. She would tell them how much they could spend, and they had to find items that didn’t exceed that amount.

Make instruments. Rainsticks are easy to assemble by filling a pa-per-towel tube with rice and crumpled wiring (or something to make the rice move slower) and covering the ends with paper and tape. Or get really cre-ative and create enough instruments for an entire band, as these Florida high-school students did with items found in the trash

Learn a language. Check with your public library to see if offers free pro-grams online. Or visit YouTube and type in, for example, Spanish lessons.

Timber Lake Playhouse, the pro-fessional summer theatre of North-west Illinois, announces a commu-

nity send off for James Beaudry on Sunday, July 30 as he completes his tenure with TLP. “James has

decided to move on to a new phase in his career,” said Dan Danielows-ki, Executive Director of TLP. “We

appreciate the time that he has given Timber Lake and wish him well in the future.”

James Beaudry first joined the resident company of TLP in 2001 as a performer and choreographer. In 2003, he began directing for the com-pany, as well. By the end of this year, he’ll have been a part of 118 individ-ual productions over 16 different sea-sons, including eight years as Artistic Director. Some of his most memo-rable directing experiences include Cats, West Side Story, Chicago, Sun-set Boulevard, Footloose, The Music Man, Joseph and The Amazing Tech-nicolor Dreamcoat, Big Fish, Titanic and the recent Evita.

“TLP has been my artistic home since 2001, and it’s been my priv-ilege to serve the community as ar-tistic director since Brad Lyons, my mentor and friend, left the company in 2009,” Beaudry said. “Bringing hundreds of the most talented young performers, designers and directors to Mount Carroll from around the country has been a joy.”

“I’ve been fortunate to see the company grow, more than doubling its size, but I’ve also been fortunate enough to get to know so many won-

derful people from the communities we serve over 16 summers.”

Beyond his work at TLP, Beaudry has directed Off-Broadway in New York City, on the west coast in San Francisco, and been twice nominat-ed for Chicago’s Jeff Award for out-standing direction of a musical.

“The theatre has grown under Jim’s leadership,” said Danielowski. “He will be missed.” Timber Lake Playhouse is presently conducting a search for Beaudry’s replacement.

The event will be held at Henry’s Double K in Mount Carroll. A Buffet Dinner will be served from 5:30 to 6:30 with the program beginning at 7. The menu includes roast pork loin or chicken breast, vegetable, mashed potatoes and gravy, salad, rolls, and beverage. The cost for the buffet is $16. Reservations are strongly sug-gested as we expect this event to be sold out and can be made by calling Henry’s at (815) 244-0180. Henry’s Double K is located at 834 South Jackson Street in Mount Carroll, Il-linois.
