The Big One This is the big one. It’s our largest paper of the year.

More than three pounds of gift-giving ideas, recipes and turkeys. Not the bad kind of turkey, but the good kind. The ones roasted golden brown and set before the family. And the turkeys drawn by school children.

Inside these four special sections of the paper you will find turkey recipes and crayon drawing of turkeys from four Putnam County elementary schools: Cane Creek, Park View, Capshaw and Jere Whitson. First graders drew turkeys, while second graders provided recipes.

Toward the back of these special pages, you’ll find some of the best recipes our readers shared with us this year, including the 10 best recipes from our food columnist, Drucilla Ray. So, sit back, relax and enjoy this newspaper. It may be the only relaxation you get for the next month.

First, I get a turkey with an arrow. Next, I take its pretty feathers off.

That’s sad. Then I cook it. Last, I hit it with my witch’s broom.

Hailey Scott, Park View

First, take out the turkey. Then put it in the oven for 70 minutes at 400 degrees. Hit it with a hammer and season it with brownies. It will taste good.

Capshaw: ‘I cook the turkey for one day at 21 degrees’ Capshaw Elementary students in Lisa Hill’s and Sharon Smith’s second grade classes share their ideas on how to cook a turkey: This is how you make a good turkey. First, you hunt a fat toon turkey. Next, you skin the feathers off of the turkey. Then you pour vegetable oil. Last, you put it on an oven roster with the temperature of 100 degrees and cook it for eight hours.

About the turkeys Ava Rhae Roberts, Jere Whitson

Again, we asked some Putnam County first graders to draw turkeys. But being first graders, some of them don’t write well yet, so we have struggled to read some of the names. Please understand that if your child’s name is wrong, or if we couldn’t decipher part of the name, it was completely unintentinal. We did the best we could to get first and last names, but because of deadlines and how busy our schools are, we were not able to call. We hope you’ll understand, but more than that, we hope you enjoy the drawings.

Thanksgiving dinner, Drucilla-style.

Carrie Thompson

Drucilla’s best holiday recipes A

s the holidays approach, our thoughts and stomach turn to food. It’s that time when we get to enjoy those foods that we don’t ordinarily eat during the year. I call them my special foods. And Drucilla’s Little Helpers enjoying the food is what it’s all about. I teach my students in nutrition classes to take their time and slow down to enjoy the taste. It Drucilla takes our Ray brain 20 minutes to recognize that we are full. So why not take your time and enjoy what it tastes like. After all, that cook has worked hard to make sure that it tastes just right.

Sweet potatoes are a must at the holiday meal. You can fix them mashed or in a casserole or glazed. I like to bake mine, then scoop out the middle to use for mashing or casseroles.

Sometimes it is hard to peel those sweet potatoes. When I fry my sweet potatoes, I peel and slice them and put them in an iron skillet with a little butter and put a lid on the skillet. I cook them very slow. If it needs a little water I add that when I add my brown sugar. But the secret is cooking very slow. That’s what George’s Grandma Swack taught me, and she was a very good cook.

Glazed Sweet Potatoes 6 medium sweet potatoes 3⁄4 cup water 1⁄3 cup granulated sugar 1⁄3 cup light brown sugar 1⁄2 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons lemon juice 1⁄2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 3 tablespoons unsalted butter Preheat oven to 350º. In large

pot, place potatoes with enough water to cover. Bring to boiling.

Reduce heat, simmer 10 to 12 minutes or just until potatoes are tender but not soft. Potatoes should be tender on the outside but resistant in center when pierced with tip of pairing knife.

Drain potatoes; cool.

Meanwhile put water, sugars and salt in nonreactive small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring just until the sugars are dissolved. Simmer 8 minutes; remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice, grated nutmeg, and 2 Tbsp. butter.

Butter a large shallow glass or ceramic baking dish with remaining butter. Peel potatoes; cut crosswise into 3⁄4-inch-thick slices. Arrange slices in single layer in baking dish. Pour lemon syrup over. Bake in the preheated oven 40 to 50 minutes, basting occasionally, until potatoes are well-glazed and begin to caramelize on edges. Remove from oven; cool slightly before serving. Serve hot or warm garnished with lemon peel.

Whipped Potatoes 2 1⁄2-lbs. potatoes, peeled, quartered and cooked 3-oz. cream cheese 1⁄2-3⁄4 cup sour cream 1⁄4 cup butter or margarine, softened 1⁄2 tsp. garlic salt In a large bowl mash the potatoes. Add the cream cheese, sour cream, butter and garlic salt. Transfer to a greased 1 1⁄2qt. baking dish. Bake, uncovered at 350° for 30 minutes, or until heated through. cranberry apples 4-5 medium apples can use Gala or a combination of Grannie Smith , Gala and Red Delicious 1⁄2 cup water 1 tablespoon cinnamon (or to taste) 1 can whole berry cranberry sauce Wash apples, peel, halve, and remove the cores and stems.

Chop into large chunks. Place apples, cinnamon, and water in medium size sauce pan and cook on medium heat for about 20 minutes until fork tender. Do not put a lid on the pan as it will make the apples mushy. Remove apples from heat. Gently stir in canned whole berry cranberries sauce. Can be served immediately while hot or chilled and served up to two weeks later. Serves 6.

Turkey Broth To prepare turkey broth, take giblets from turkey cavity and rinse under cold running water.

Place all giblets except the liver in 3-quart saucepan and add enough water to cover.

Bring to boil and skim off white foam; reduce heat. Simmer 1 hour, add liver and continue cooking 15 minutes.

Remove giblets, cool and remove meat from neck. Chop all meat from giblets and if desired add to gravy. This broth is good to use in stuffing and gravy. Any leftover may be frozen and used as base for turkey soup.

When I make my giblet gravy, I use this broth, add a couple of chopped boiled eggs. I take about 1⁄4 cup flour, with a dash of salt and pepper and add about 1⁄2 cup of milk to it to make a gravy then add it to the broth and cook until slightly thick.

Sometimes I may add about a half can of cream of chicken soup.

Turkey Noodle Soup 1 carcass from cooked/leftover turkey, skin removed and with 2 cups cooked turkey remaining on bones 7 cups cold water 5 poultry bouillon cubes 1 cup thinly sliced celery 1 cup peeled and matchstickcut carrots 1 cup sliced green onions 2 cups cooked rotini pasta 1 teaspoon black pepper Remove cooked turkey from

Dr. Pam Nickels

Dr. Chuck Olds

This Thanksgiving Dr. Chuck Olds, his wife, Mary, his patients and his staff at Olds Chiropractic Clinic have so much to be thankful for!

DR. OLDS IS BACK WORKING IN THE COOKEVILLE CLINIC AND PLANS TO BE WORKING BACK IN THE SPARTA CLINIC AROUND THE FIRST OF THE YEAR! Dr. Olds started getting sick about three years ago. He thought it was just a bad flare up of the Ulcerative Colitis he has suffered with for about 30 years. He fought very hard to carry on with his practice as usual. He was extremely fatigued all the time and losing weight. There were many days that he had to ask Jessica to cancel and reschedule his patients because he did not have the strength to stay at the clinic.

Finally in December of 2013, he was almost past going. After two emergency trips to Cookeville Regional Hospital, he went to a highly recommended gastroenterologist at St. Thomas Hospital West in Nashville for a colonoscopy in January of this year. In less than 24 hours, the biopsy results were back with a diagnosis of colorectal cancer. Both he and Mary were in shock as well as their family, friends, staff and patients. He decided to undergo radiation and chemotherapy as well as partake in an “off label” cancer treatment overseen by a medical doctor in Brentwood.

As soon as Dr. Jayson Johnson and his precious wife, Meshia, heard the news, they made a decision that has proven to save the clinics for Dr. Olds & Mary. They spoke with their associate chiropractor and then called Dr. Olds. They told him that Dr. Pamela Nickels was going to come and fill in for him so that he could concentrate 100% on getting well and beating the cancer!

On February 19, Dr. Pam came to work at Olds Chiropractic. Unfortunately, Dr. Olds became extremely sick very shortly after Dr. Pam came to work with him. She only got to work with him for about two weeks before he could no longer work even a part time schedule. Dr. Pam was thrown into filling some awfully big cowboy boots! She went from working two days a week to taking over all of Dr. Olds’ duties on a full time basis in just a few weeks. After discussing the situation further with Dr. Olds & Mary and Dr. Pam; Dr. Johnson and Meshia made the unbelievable sacrifice of releasing Dr. Pam to come and work for and with Dr. Olds permanently! This was a very tremendous gift to Dr. Olds as well as an extreme hardship to Dr. Johnson & Meshia. Without their selfless generosity, Dr. Olds would most definitely have had to close his clinics.

Dr. Pam graduated from Dr. Olds’ and Dr. Johnson’s alma mater, Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa in June of 2012. She not only obtained her degree at (in Dr. Olds’ opinion) :”the VERY BEST college of chiropractic” but she had also worked with Dr. Johnson for two years. There, she learned a lot of what Dr. Olds had taught Dr. Johnson when he worked at Dr. Olds’ clinics after he obtained his degree and before he opened his clinic in Smithville, TN in November 2000.

Dr. Pam has a wonderful personality and Dr. Olds’ patients love her! She is a very good adjuster and knows a little bit of the Applied Kinesiology that Dr. Olds is so well known for. She and her husband, Jeremy, reside in Smithville.

After receiving the three chosen treatments from February to April, Dr. Olds returned to his gastroenterologist for a follow up colonoscopy on April 14th. The tumor had grown so much that his colon was completely obstructed therefore making it impossible to do the colonoscopy. Dr. Olds was admitted to St. Thomas Hospital West immediately for emergency surgery. Because the situation was so grave, the surgeon was forced to do emergency surgery immediately. Due to the complications from the obstructed bowel, this first surgery would then be followed by a second surgery a week later to complete the process, but his life would no longer be in danger.

On April 22, Dr. Olds underwent the second surgery to complete the permanent colostomy.

He spent from April 14th until April 30th in the hospital and then was released to go home with home health care nurses three times a week for a month. He had lost a total of 66 pounds during the course of his illness!

In September (just after getting enough strength back to work his first full week in the Cookeville clinic), he had to undergo a third surgery to do some touch up work. This came about very fast because the surgeon just happened to have an opening in his schedule the very next week after Dr. Olds was in his clinic for a follow up exam! During the surgery, the surgeon discovered a hernia under the intestine where he was working, so

he repaired that while he was in there to keep from having to do a fourth surgery!

It has been a VERY LONG, painful and stressful year to say the least!

By the grace of God, Dr. Olds life has been spared. He and Mary want to convey their overwhelming gratitude to their family, their many wonderful friends, and the unbelievable patients of Olds Chiropractic for their continual prayers, get well cards and gifts, visits, phone calls fund raisers and generous donations that continue to come in every month. Dr. Olds comments, “Without the unbelievable generosity of this community, not only would we have had to close the clinics, but there is no way we could have afforded the medical care, the specialized nutrition and supplements, the prescribed drug regimen to help me on the road to recovery -- not to mention pay the rent and buy the gas to get us back and forth to Nashville so much this year!. We have been Blessed beyond measure throughout this entire experience!”

He continues on to say, “Both the Cookeville and Sparta communities have had our backs every step of the way! Mary and I have both always told people that we have met the kindest people since moving here, of anyplace either one of us has ever lived, and that covers a lot of towns! Nothing proves that more than the loving support we have gotten from everyone we know and even people we have never met! Accepting help is very difficult for both of us, but Mary’s dear brother and two very close friends all told both of us within just a day or two of my diagnosis that we had both spent our lives giving to other people and now it was time to graciously accept whatever help was offered to us and simply say thank you! That is a very humbling thing to learn to do. Thanks to God and a lot of very special Guardian Angels that walk the earth with us, we have tried very hard to accept graciously and give thanks to our Lord several times every day for these amazing blessings that have been bestowed upon us. We hope that everyone involved in whatever way they felt moved to do so, knows how much their acts of kindness have meant and continue to mean to us! Your prayers, positive thoughts, phone calls, visits, offers to help with anything and everything, very generous gifts of not only your money, but also your extremely valuable time will be remembered for the rest of our lives! Our patients have been so loyal to give Dr. Pam the chance to earn their trust and therefore played a major role in us still having the clinics open and fully operational for me to have a place to “come home to” as soon as I was able to begin working again at a profession that I love and would be lost without! It is humbling, to say the least, and no words seem to express our thoughts adequately, but A GREAT BIG THANK YOU FROM THE VERY DEPTH OF OUR SOULS FOR BEING THERE WHEN WE BOTH NEEDED YOU THE MOST AND FOR STICKING WITH US THROUGH THE WORST TIME OF OUR LIVES! I am sure there will be a few more obstacles to deal with in the future, but we have NO DOUBT that with God and the never ending support of those we have grown to love, there isn’t anything we can’t come through!”

“Dr. Pamela Nickels will continue on at Olds Chiropractic as the HEAVEN (and Dr. Jayson & Meshia Johnson!) SENT associate I have been searching for! We have a lot of years ahead working together so that I can continue to teach her and she can continue to learn from my 25 plus years of experience!

She has done an excellent job with my patients with practically no time to learn the ropes! I couldn’t be prouder of the job she has done! I look forward to giving her the time she deserves to hone her skills and learn even more about how to care for an Olds Chiropractic Clinic patient! I know that our patients will continue to give her the same respect and loyalty as they have always given me!”

“There are so very many “special Guardian Angels” that I would like to mention by name, but at the risk of accidentally omitting anyone, I will not name any names. I pray that you ALL know what a very special place you will ALWAYS have in our hearts. Our hearts are overflowing from the kindness and love you have shown us through this very difficult year. We both are looking forward to a tremendously better 2015!”
