Vegetable, cheese dish a winner for UNC of NEPA

at local and support people in more ways than one. At United Neighborhood Centers of Northeastern Pennsylvania’s annual Farm to Fork Dinner, guests can taste fresh produce and more from local farmers while helping those who need it most. The fifth annual dinner — set for Saturday, Aug. 17, from 6 to 9 p.m. at Stone Meadow Gardens, 1273 Country Club Road, Clarks Summit — benefits UNC’s Community Health Department, which serves lowincome, uninsured and under-insured people and families and helps them access health care services. State Street Grill, 114 S. State St., Clarks Summit, will cater the event using only local food, and Local Flavor is all about spreading community love — the food is just a bonus. UNC’s Community Health Department earned a $50 gift card from Riccardo’s Market, 1219 Wheeler Ave., Dunmore, through Local Flavor Gives Back thanks to State Street Grill Executive Chef Sara McCully’s Roasted Red Beet and Goat Cheese Terrine. Made with all local ingredients — including cheese from Calkins Creamery, Honesdale, and Clarks Summit’s Thirteen Olives balsamic and olive oil — the dish is simple to put together, McCully said. The most timeconsuming part is roasting the beets, which can take up to two to three hours. “ Yo u n e e d t o h av e patience,” McCully said.

New audio books available at the Taylor Community Library. “After Sundown” by Linda Howard Sela Gordon, the owner of a Tennessee general store, finds safety in solitude. If anyone can pierce her protective shell it’s the mysterious ex-military man living alone in the wilds of Cove Mountain. For two years, he’s kept his distance, until the day he appears to warn her that a catastrophic solar storm capable of taking down the power grid is coming. Now, Sela must find the courage to become the leader Wears Valley needs. Bitter experience has taught Ben Jernigan it’s best to look out for number one. For two years the former soldier has lived in a self-imposed exile, using a top-notch security system to keep people away. He had to let Sela know about the impending threat and now the quiet and undeniably sexy woman is making it too easy for him to lower his guard. As panic spreads, Sela and Ben discover that in the dark, cut off from the outside world, there’s no more playing it safe in life or in love “An Amish Cookie Club Christmas” by Sarah Price Now that the holidays are around the corner, Edna is busier than ever juggling baking with her business serving meals to Englische tourists. Thank goodness for Mary Ropp’s help that is until she breaks her leg. Mary’s daughter, Bethany, is available to fill in, but Edna isn’t so certain. She knows Bethany is so painfully shy that she’s never even courted, never mind interacting with Englische tourists. The remedy may be closer than they think. When Bethany gets into a scrape with her bicycle, a young man comes to her rescue, and even accompanies her home. He’s none other than John Esh, Edna’s oldest son. When he stops by again the next day, Mary gets an idea. Soon, with the encouragement of the Cookie Club, Bethany is indeed helping Edna, and spending more time around the Esh household and John. As Bethany slowly comes out of her shell, it seems she and John have much in common, maybe enough to inspire a winter wedding and the club’s sweetest creation yet. “Christmas from the Heart” by Shelia Roberts Olivia Berg’s charity, Christmas from the Heart, has helped generations of families in
need in Pine River, Washington, but this year might be the end of the road. Hightower Enterprises, one of their biggest donors since way back when Olivia’s grandmother ran the charity, has been taken over by Ebenezer Scrooge the Second, aka Guy Hightower, and he’s declared there will be no more money coming to Christmas from the Heart. Guy is simply being practical. Hightower Enterprises needs to tighten its belt, and when you don’t have money to spare, you don’t have money to share. You’d think even the pushy Olivia Berg could understand that. With charitable donations dwindling, Olivia’s Christmas budget depends on Hightower’s contribution. She’s focused her whole life on helping this small town, even putting her love life on hold to support her mission. When Guy’s Maserati breaks down at the edge of the Cascade foothills, he’s relieved to be rescued by a pretty young woman who drives him to the nearby town of Pine River. Until he realizes his rescuer is none other than Olivia Berg. What’s a Scrooge to do? Plug his nose and eat fruitcake and hope she doesn’t learn his true identity before he can get out of town. What could go wrong? “Christmas in Winter Hill” by Melody Carlson Krista Galloway is not a fan of Christmas. After her rough childhood in multiple foster homes, the holiday season just brings too many bad memories to the surface. When she accepts a job as a city manager in the mountain town of Winter Hill, Washington, Christmas is part of the deal. The small town is famous for its Christmasville celebration, something that the city manager well, manages. As she tries to make her tiny new apartment feel like home for her and her eightyear-old daughter, Emily, Krista begins to wonder if this move was a mistake. She doesn’t always feel welcomed in the closeknit town, and Emily continually wonders, “Where’s the snow?” Can a friendly stranger and his family help restore Krista’s Christmas spirit before the big day? “The Deception” by Kat Martin After searching for her sister for two long years, Kate Gallagher is devastated when she’s called to the morgue to identify Chrissy’s body, the runaway teen the victim of a brutal attack. Guilt and grief send Kate into a tailspin. She failed Chrissy once, but she
won’t do it again. Even if finding her sister’s killer means following a lethal bounty hunter into the heart of darkness, placing both their lives in danger. Working at Maximum Security has taken Jason Maddox down some dangerous paths, but never for a client he’s been so drawn to, or for a case so monstrous. As clues lead them deeper into the city’s underbelly, connections to human trafficking draw them closer and closer to peril, but even Jase’s warnings can’t convince Kate to walk away. As the deadly operation puts a target on their backs, they’ll have to decide what matters most, the truth or their lives. “Don’t You Forget About Me” by Mhairi McFarlane If there’s anything worse than being fired from the lousiest restaurant in town, it’s coming home early to find your boyfriend in bed with someone else. Reeling from the humiliation of a double dumping in one day, Georgina takes the next job that comes her way, bartender in a newly opened pub. There’s only one problem it’s run by the guy she fell in love with years ago. Well maybe two problems, he doesn’t remember her. But with her fabulous friends and her signature hot pink fur coat, what more could a girl really need? Lucas McCarthy has not only grown into a broodingly handsome man, but he’s also turned into an actual grown-up, with a thriving business and a dog along the way. Crossing paths with him again throws Georgina’s rocky present into sharp relief and brings a secret from her past bubbling to the surface. Only she knows what happened 12 years ago, and why she’s allowed the memories to chase her ever since. Maybe it’s not too late for the truth or a second chance with the one that got away? “The Institute” by Stephen King In the middle of the night, in a house in suburban Minneapolis, intruders silently murder Luke Ellis’s parents and load him into a black SUV. The operation takes less than two minutes. Luke will wake up at The Institute, in a room that looks just like his own, except there’s no window. Outside his door are other doors, behind which are other kids with special talents, who got to this place the same way Luke did. Kalisha, Nick, George, Iris, and Avery Dixon. They are all in Front Half. Others, Luke learns, graduated to Back Half, “like the roach motel,” Kalisha says. “You check in, but you don’t check out.” In this most sinister of institutions, the director, Mrs. Sigsby, and her staff are ruthlessly dedicated to extracting from these children the force of their extranormal gifts. There are no scruples here. If
you go along, you get tokens for the vending machines. If you don’t, punishment is brutal. As each new victim disappears to Back Half, Luke becomes more and more desperate to get out and get help. But no one has ever escaped from the Institute or have they? “Killer Instinct” by James Patterson The murder of an Ivy League professor pulls Dr. Dylan Reinhart out of his ivory tower and onto the streets of New York, where he reunites with his old partner, Detective Elizabeth Needham. As the worst act of terror since 9/11 strikes the city, a name on the casualty list rocks Dylan’s world. Is his secret past about to be brought to light? As the terrorist attack unfolds, Elizabeth Needham does something courageous that thrusts her into the media spotlight. She’s a reluctant hero. Now thanks to the attention, she also becomes a prime target for the ruthless murderer behind the attack. Dylan literally wrote the book on the psychology of murder, and he and Elizabeth have solved cases that have baffled conventional detectives. The sociopath they’re facing this time is the opposite of a textbook case. There’s no time to study for the test he’s about to give them. If they fail, they die. “The Last Train to London” by Meg White Clayton In 1936, the Nazi are little more than loud, brutish bores to 15-year-old Stephan Neuman, the son of a wealthy and influential Jewish family and budding playwright whose playground extends from Vienna’s streets to its intricate underground tunnels. Stephan’s best friend and companion is Žofie-Helene, a Christian girl whose mother edits a progressive, anti-Nazi newspaper. Soon their carefree innocence is shattered when the Nazis’ take control. There is hope in the darkness, though. Truus Wijsmuller, a member of the Dutch resistance, who risks her life smuggling Jewish children out of Nazi Germany to the nations that will take them. It is a mission that becomes even more dangerous after the Anschluss close their borders to the growing number of refugees desperate to escape. But she is determined to save as many children as she can. After Britain passes a measure to take in at-risk child refugees from the German Reich, she dares to approach Adolf Eichmann, the man who would later help devise the “Final Solution to the Jewish Question,” in a race against time to bring children like Stephan, his young brother Walter, and Žofie-Helene on a perilous journey to an uncertain future abroad.
