June 2011 • Lake Country SNAPSHOTS 3

Greetings to all our Lake Country Snapshots readers — and hello, summer!

I

t’s almost June, and activities are starting to fill the calendar almost as fast as the flowers beginning to bloom. Let’s hope summer arrives by its due date — June 21.

The Rome Farmers’ Market kicks off June 10 and will be open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Friday throughout the summer in Alpine Business Park, off Highways D and 13. Stop by, and get some fresh goodies. Special events also are planned, including the popular “Chef on

the Square.” Christian Czerwonka of Christian’s Bistro, Plover, is June’s featured chef. His demonstration will begin at 9:30 a.m. June 24 in the gazebo.

The Adams Flea Market also starts its season on Memorial Day weekend. The market is open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekends and holidays.

It is sure to be a bargain shopper’s delight.

For baseball fans, live action is only miles away.

Habitat ReStore in Mauston Turning donations into affordable housing for local families MAUSTON — The ReStore in Mauston now is open for business.

The store helps fund the expensive work of building and renovating homes through Habitat for Humanity, which partners with low-income families to renovate or build simple, decent homes. Habitat then sells the homes to those families at no profit and with a no interest mortgage.

In the U.S., Habitat has served more than 400,000 families since 1976. A total of 1.6 million people — including more than one million children — now live in Habitat homes. The Juneau-Adams Habitat group has partnered with eight families since 2008, providing the benefit of safe and decent homes to 28 local children and 11 adults.

The store’s Mauston location is an ideal location, said Jim Abbs, board president of Habitat for Humanity in Adams and Juneau counties, in a news release. Located two miles south of Mauston on Highways 12 and 16 (the old Hill Carpet Building), the store has 15,000 square feet and lots of parking.

A wide variety of donated items, including new or gently-used furniture, appliances, cabinets, windows, doors, flooring, lights, tubs, sinks and other building materials, are available at the store. Because Habitat for Humanity is a tax-exempt organization, all donations yield donor tax deductions, which are attractive to everyone, from Home Depot to individuals, according to Abbs. Buyers also benefit, because dis-

counts commonly are from 40 to 75 percent.

Nationally and across Wisconsin, Habitat ReStores are a huge success. There are 12 Habitat ReStores in Wisconsin, but none north of Mauston for more than 150 miles. The nearest, fully-functional ReStore is in LaCrosse.

To reduce costs, a diverse group of dedicated local volunteers put in more than 100 hours each week at the Mauston ReStore.

Volunteers help with everything from donation pick ups to pricing of merchandise, including help with maintenance of the store building.

ReStores help communities in a number of ways: » ReStores prevent a lot of useable items from going into landfills, which saves money for local taxpayers and also protects the environment. In just the last four years, the Madison ReStore has diverted more than 2,500 tons of material from going into Dane County landfills. » Second, and impor-

tant in central Wisconsin, ReStores also offer reduced cost items for low-income families or for folks with second or recreational homes.

If you or your company have surplus furniture, appliances, building materials, fixtures, and would like to help Habitat while at the same time get a tax deduction, give the ReStore a call at (608) 847-2000 or email them at maustonrestore@gmail. com. The Mauston ReStore has its own truck and will

Celebrate dad all year long with gifts he’ll love

O

ne day each year is set aside to honor Dad. But, as you remember the times he got up early to take you to ball practice, taught you to ride your bike or came to your apartment to help you fix the leaky plumbing, maybe they need more than one day to hear, “thank you.”

While Dad will appreciate any gift-giving gesture, if you really want to put a smile on his face and create a memorable moment, consider starting a new gift tradition this year: beef. And not just any beef - aged-to-perfection, melt-inhis-mouth steak.

Does your dad smile just a little more when he sees a perfectly grilled steak placed in front of him?

When considering dining options, is there a steakhouse at the top of his list? Does he spend hours on end talking about grilling the perfect steak? Well, your dad is a meat aficionado - and the gift that will put the biggest smile on his face?

Steak.

So, where to start? Here are the top five steaks, according to the Kansas City Steak Company, which has specialized in all things steak since 1932. » Filet mignon. The most popular steak, these aged beef wonders provide melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. “This is by far the most popular steak we sell,” says Edward Scavuzzo, president. “Year after year, no matter how many other steaks or meats we offer, the filet mignon comes out as the clear winner. And why not? It’s my favorite, too.” » New York strip steak. For a heartier appetite, the second most popular steak is the New York strip.

» Ribeye steak. For rich flavor, you can’t go wrong with the third most popular steak — the ribeye. All bone-in and boneless ribeye steaks are carved from succulent prime rib roasts and feature rich marbling.

Whether grilled, fried or broiled, it’s a sure winner for dads everywhere. » Top sirloin steak. A fourth option is the top sirloin — the most prized of the sirloin steak family. The top sirloin is cut from the center of the sirloin and is lean, firm and flavorful. Top sirloin has a hearty beef flavor and is perfect for grilling. » Porterhouse. Two steaks in one rounds out the top five. The rich taste of the meaty sirloin strip and the tender, melt-in-your-mouth filet mignon make the porterhouse a favorite for serious carnivores.

Create a fresh facade

By Jill Livernash For Lake Country Snapshots

The dreary spring days are gone, and it’s the perfect time of year to change your personal scenery. If you’ve got a room, or even a whole house, that’s just begging for a makeover, wait no longer.

Here are five easy ways to transform your space:

Hit the walls Not literally, as in demolition, but with a luscious color. Of all the ways to give a room a fresh face, painting is one of the quickest, least expensive and most effective routes.

It’s instant gratification in a can. Exploring color choices is easy, too, as most paint companies offer sample sizes. Take it home, splash it on the wall, and live with it for a day or two. This small step can save you time and trouble in the long run.

Color has a powerful effect on our feelings, so consider the use of the room. Blues and greens have a calming effect, while reds rev us up, and pink is known to elicit an upbeat mood. Go from neutral to bold with an unexpected shade, or take baby steps by picking a color that is a deeper, richer version of the existing color. If the dining room has always been a deep, dark green, try a new perspective with a warm, light color.

Either way, punch up any moldings by painting them a bright, semi-gloss white.

Faux finishes and wallpaper are other quick fixes for tired walls.

Tap the material world Fabrics and textiles are the expressway to decorating heaven. Beautiful new bedding, decorative pillows and drapes all can make an amazing difference to any room. Keep the neutral living room, but throw in a stylish curve with zebra print pillows, a hot fuchsia throw or a lavishly patterned footstool.

Take the dining room from staid to spectacular in a snap with splashy new table linens and accessoBeautiful Hanging Baskets

NEW ITEMS ARRIVING!

After ries. Boring bedroom? Rev it up and create a stir with some fabulous new bedding. From dramatic colors and luxurious satins to simple, graphic patterns, beautiful bedding will make you and your bedroom feel rejuvenated.

Light the way Change the entire mood of a room with a flick of the switch. Amp it up or tone it down, but use lighting to your best advantage.

Banish gloomy shadows with the addition of floor and table lamps, or change a traditional dining room chandelier to cool rise-andfall pendants. Some rooms, such as kitchens and baths, require overhead, taskspecific lighting, but most

other rooms benefit from the cozy glow of table and floor lamps.

Branch Before out from white or ivory shades to colored ones for an instant shot of color and style. One tip to keep in mind: For a balanced effect and effective light, the width of the shade should roughly equal the width of the lamp’s base.

Shake it up Take a room from predictable to provocative with a dash of contrast.

Is the living room cool and contemporary? Add an antique accent table, a

grandfather clock or an ornate mirror over the mantle to cause a stir.

Bedroom blooming with floral prints and chintz?

Quiet the riot of patterns with a sleek, solid accent chair or rich, solid bedding. Never be afraid of mixing it up — style is not set in stone, and adding the element of surprise keeps it all the more exciting.

Unexpected combinations work well with color and fabric as well.

For a room that’s primarily subtle in tone, introduce bold accessories in popping, punchy bright colors to wake up and shake up the room’s mood.

Plant an Idea Call on nature to add a lush, organic feeling to any setting. From ultramodern to traditional or Mediterranean decor, a magnificent plant creates a fresh focus. A soaring palm or a miniature citrus tree adds summer’s warmth any time of the year. Add natural beauty

to an entryway, or bring a burst of color to any room with flowering plants that bloom indoors. Choose brightly colored ceramic or glazed plant pots, and you’ve got another way to add new interest to the room.

Five culinary trends that will make summer entertaining sizzle

S

ummer entertaining season is about to heat up.

Barbecue and traditional cookout fare will always have a place in warm weather menus, but sometimes you just want to shake things up a little - and bring some new ideas and flavors to the picnic table.

If you want to spice up your summer entertaining, radio host, cookbook author and Certified Sommelier Jamie Gwen recommends you try these five hot culinary trends: » The “It” wine for summer Summer fare calls for a companion wine that’s clean, crisp and food friendly - and that’s Italian Pinot Grigio.

While domestic varieties are lovely for sipping, Italian Pinot Grigios, like those from Ecco Domani(R), DaVinci(R) and Maso Canali(R), tend to have a fresh, clean taste that pairs better with food, and especially with the lighter cuisines of summer, Gwen says.

In fact, culinary professionals are five times

more likely to prefer Italian Pinot Grigio to domestic when pairing with a summer meal, according to a recent online survey of members of the International Association of Culinary Professionals. What’s more, you can find a fine Italian Pinot Grigio to fit a range of budgets - from about $10 to $11 for Ecco Domani, $12 to $13 for DaVinci, and $18 to $19 for Maso Canali. » The new cupcake Cupcakes were everywhere last year, from swanky Hollywood soirees to beach weddings.

This year, French macaroons are the new cupcake. Made from almond flour or almond paste, French-style macaroons are available in a variety of flavors, such as passion fruit, chocolate, coffee and orange. They’re a light and airy sweet complement to a summer meal, especially when filled with buttercream or lemon curd. » The spice superstar This year, Spanish paprika (pimenton) nudges out chipotle and Sichuan peppercorns as

the spice superstar of the season. Paprika is a key ingredient in Spanish cooking and Spaniards use it in everything, from chorizo to scrambled eggs. Hot enough to stand up to summer’s sizzle, this smoked paprika is great for grilling, and adds zesty flavor to grilled chicken and meat. » Meatless Mondays Eating lighter, especially during summer months, is a definite trend for 2011. More Americans will be getting on board with the “Meatless Monday” initiative that encourages consumers to reduce their meat consumption by 15 percent. Reducing meat consumption can lead to better health for you and a better environment for all, proponents say. Plus, light salads and vegetarian dishes make for ideal warm-weather fare. » Korean fusion Food lovers and creative chefs have been blending cultures and ingredients forever, but you can expect to see even more melding of flavors this summer.

5

Korean influences and spicy flavors will be particularly pervasive, popping up in cuisines found everywhere from food trucks to backyard barbecues. Korean flavors

will excite the palate and make for an even more delicious summer.

Here are two summer dishes that feature Italian Pinot Grigio. You can further enhance

Strike while the season’s hot: Tips for avoiding flea and tick infestations

T

hough they may be hard to spot, don’t let fleas and ticks elude you this season. Spring is the unofficial start of flea and tick season — and the ideal time to begin preventatively treating your pet so it doesn’t get an infestation. Not only are fleas and ticks an annoyance for dogs, cats and pet owners alike, but they can also cause health issues. This flea and tick season is shaping up to be an intense one, according to Dr. Nancy Hinkle, Ph.D ., professor of entomology at the University of Georgia. Research shows that mild spring weather allows fleas and ticks to get an early start, meaning there will be higher pest populations this summer.

“Flea and tick bites are always a cause for concern,” said Dr. Melinda Fernyhough, DVM, Ph.D., veterinarian and manager of scientific affairs at the Hartz Mountain Corporation. “Flea bites can lead to anemia, allergy dermatitis, an allergic reaction to proteins in flea saliva; and permanent hair loss or skin problems from scratching.

“And that’s not all. Ticks can transmit Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever — both of which can be trans-

mitted to your family.”

Keeping your pets safe and protected is just as easy as maintaining your own health. Here are three tips: » Choose the appropriate flea and tick treatment. There are a variety of options to keep your pet healthy, including shampoos, sprays, topical treatments and collars. Topicals are the most popular

treatment and are applied monthly to your pet. For example, Hartz UltraGuard Pro Flea & Tick Drops are designed to kill fleas and ticks and prevent new fleas from appearing. » Carefully read the label. It is incredibly important to read and follow the directions on the label. Make sure to purchase the appropriate weight class

of product so you don’t put too much (or too little) on your pet. Never use a dog product on a cat or vice versa. And keep animals separated until the treatment dries, typically between 24 and 48 hours, to ensure your pet doesn’t ingest the treatment from another pet. » Check your pet regularly.

Throughout flea and tick season, make sure to rub your hands through your pet’s coat on a regular basis to check for fleas and ticks. And keep an eye out for excessive scratching. Using a monthly treatment like Hartz UltraGuard Pro Flea & Tick Drops can help keep your pet protected month to month.

It is estimated that last year alone over 70 million dogs and cats suffered from flea or tick infestations, according to Dr. Hinkle. So as the weather heats up, it’s important to educate yourself about caring for your pet during flea and tick season. To ask Dr. Melinda a question, find the appropriate treatment for your pet or learn more about Hartz UltraGuard Pro Flea & Tick Drops, visit www.hartzultraguard.com.
