The New Blue Heron Menu
It’s here... the new Blue Heron Restaurant menu, and judging by the reviews, it has been very well received. Both Karan Begy, the Blue Heron Manager, and head chef, Ace French, have put together a great selection of breakfast, lunch and dinner entrees. Some of the TGO favorites are still there, but Ace has added quite a few of his specialty items including his signature seafood plates. There is also a Tuesday Pasta Bar and a Saturday Prime Rib special added to the weekly schedule. For a message from Ace, see page 7. The new menus are in the centerfold.
John Roberts - One of TGO’s Treasures TGO has a lot of great volunteers. They are the backbone of our resort, helping to make sure our grounds, trails and lakes are kept in operating condition. Meet John Roberts, he’s been voluteering here for over 25 years making sure our lakes are taken care of and our fish are restocked each year. It’s an important role that helps keep a balance between nature and man. Not only do our local fishermen enjoy the catch and release program avilable here in TGO, but proper lake maintenance is important for our local animal life as well. Continued on page 16
SNAP-SHOT: Doug Jensen Another insight by Jim Brubaker that showcases our local photographers. If you are a fan of the CBS Sunday Morning program, then you are probably familiar with Doug Jensen’s work. Doug is actually a world-class videographer and his most recent CBS project included the filming of our Great Horned Owls on Addison Way. Doug and his wife Sally split their time between New England and TGO, where they both enjoy volunteer work within our community. Occassionaly, you can catch Doug photographing on our Nature Trail, and if you do, stop and chat him up. Continued on page 46
