Apple Canyon Lake swimmers participate in world record breaking event By Tony Carton EDITOR
TONY CARTON PHOTO Shopper’s Guide
Apple Canyon Lake staff, property owners and their guests participated in last Saturday’s World’s Largest Swimming Lesson, a global effort promoting water safety.
annual event for us.” 2016 is the seventh year in a row, tens of thousands of kids of all ages joined together at pools, water parks, swim schools, even lake fronts to take time out for a very important lesson. The project is expected to attract more than 45,000 swimmers this year with the first lesson kicking off in Abu Dhabi and traveling through 24 countries in 24 hours. “Swimming lessons are definitely important and I think to be involved with a project like this is a neat thing,” Nordlie said. The Summers family were vacationing at Apple Canyon Lake (ACL) and decided to participate in the project.

The folks at Apple Canyon Lake have enquiring minds and want to know, “Was it record worthy?” That’s a global question this week, and with the deadline just around the corner for turning in statistics, the The World’s Largest Swimming Lesson™ (WLSL) staff is hard at it tabulating the results for the organization’s seventh attempt at setting a new Guinness World Record™. “We are participating again this year in the World’s Largest Swimming Lesson,” said ACL Aquatics Manager Julie Janssen. “It is a global event that helps promote swimming lessons. Drowning is the second leading cause of childhood death, so the lesson plan they have created helps put that awareness out there for how important it is to have your kids in swimming lessons.” Research shows participation in formal swimming lessons can reduce the risk of drowning by 88% among children ages 1 to 4, however many youngsters do not receive formal swimming or water safety training. “We formally start our swimming lesson season next week and I think today’s event just kind of hypes up everything of how important it is to have swimming lessons, so we don’t have any incidents out here,” Janssen said. No event can succeed without volunteers and ACL provided a veritable army of helpers to see the activity went off without a hitch. In addition to members of the ACL aquatics staff, volunteers were on hand from the facility’s communications department, security department, several residents who acted as witnesses for the official count, and more. “This is our second year with the The World’s Largest Swimming Lesson program,” said ACL General Manager Shaun Nordlie. “This is going on all over the world, so it’s pretty exciting for us; hopefully we’ll get a huge turnout and it will become an
“We’re here on vacation visiting family and our 18- month-old twins Natalie and Jack are having their first experience with formal swimming lessons,” said Schaumburg IL resident Isabella Summers. “We want them to learn how to swim as early as possible, so when we found out about the project we said, ‘Why not,’ and here we are.” She said making it to the Guinness Book of World Records at18 months
old is an added bonus. “Jack is working on having fun, floating and keeping his head above water,” said Summers’ husband Justin. “I took swimming lessons at a young age and I’ve always been comfortable in the water. I want that same feeling of comfort for my kids.” Since its inception, more than 155,000 children and adults have participated in WLSL lessons. This year’s WLSL event has the opportuni-
ty to share the powerful message that Swimming Lessons Save Lives with more people in more countries around the globe than ever before. Congratulations to everyone who took the time to make the Apple Canyon Lake summer experience safer. The numbers are still rolling in, and final tabulations for the WLSL event will post on the organization’s website at http://www.worldslargestswimminglesson.org/

Swim Safety: Warm weather and swimming go hand in hand Swimming is a great recreational sport that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, but it’s important to know how to be safe while you’re in the water. The American Red Cross offers these important swimming safety tips you should be aware of before you head out to the pool or beach: Swim in designated areas supervised by lifeguards. Always swim with a buddy; do not allow anyone to swim alone. Never leave a young child unattended near water and do not trust a child’s life to another child; teach children to always ask permission to go near water. Have young children or inexperienced swimmers wear U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets around water, but do not rely on life jackets alone. Maintain constant supervision. Make sure everyone in your family learns to swim well. Enroll in age-appropriate Red Cross water orientation and learn-to-swim courses.
If you have a pool, secure it with appropriate barriers. Many children who drown in home pools were out of sight for less than five minutes and in the care of one or both parents at the time. Avoid distractions when supervising children around water. If a child is missing, check the water first. Seconds count in preventing death or disability. Have appropriate equipment, such as reaching or throwing equipment, a cell phone, life jackets and a first aid kit. Know how and when to call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number. Enroll in Red Cross home pool safety, water safety, first aid and CPR/ AED courses to learn how to prevent and respond to emergencies. Protect your skin. Limit the amount of direct sunlight you receive between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and wear sunscreen with a protection factor of at least 15. Drink plenty of water regularly, even if you’re not thirsty. Avoid drinks with alcohol or caffeine in them.

We knew little that morning, that God Was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone; For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, Your love is still our guide; And though we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same; But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again. -author unknown

This metallic structure is unique for its shape and its location jutting from the side of a hill. The roof vents indicate its use for hay storage and the lower shelter allows for easy feeding of cattle.
Forward thinking maintenance practices, proper ventilation, and a string of lightning rods have helped preserve this machine shed for future use.
Saving our barns preserves our heritage Information compiled by Tony Carton EDITOR
From the days when Thomas Jefferson envisioned the new republic as a nation dependent on citizen farmers for its stability and its freedom, the family farm has been a vital image in the American consciousness. As the main structures of farms, barns evoke a sense of tradition and security, of closeness to the land and community with the people who built them. Even today the rural barn raising presents a forceful image of community spirit. Just as many farmers built their barns before they built their houses, many farm families look to their old barns as links with their past. Old barns, furthermore, are often community landmarks and make the past present. Such buildings embody ethnic traditions and local customs; they reflect changing farming practices and advances in building technology. In the imagination they represent a whole way of life.
Jo Daviess and Stephenson Counties in NW Illinois have a number of these vanishing structures and over the next few weeks The Scoop Today and Shopper’s Guide will be visiting them.
An aging structure such as the one shown here is still utilitarian as a machine shed and possibly for hay storage. The sliding doors which may have once offered protection from the elements are frozen in time.

VIEWPOINT From the desk of State Representative Brian W. Stewart Page 4 - June 29, 2016 - The Scoop Today/Shopper’s Guide
For the third consecutive week the House Speaker has cancelled session. Time is running out. The end of the fiscal year is fast approaching. After session adjourned in May, the Speaker agreed to hold session once a week in the month of June. Every session has been canceled so far. If we do not pass anything this month, there will be complete chaos and it is becoming clear that the Speaker is fine with that. State services will screech to a halt if no action is taken in Springfield. The House Democrats say there’s nothing to vote-on. Nothing to vote on! There’s plenty to vote on. Last week, I discussed the stopgap budget bills. They are simple, non-controversial solutions that would keep operations running for seniors, schools, mental health facilities, prisons and capital projects. Additionally, the legislature needs to authorize the federal funds so that the state can spend them. There is a lot we should be voting on and time

is ticking. The Comptroller gave a very bleak outlook this week. Comptroller Munger says we could be $12 billion behind on our bill payments. Right now the state is about three months behind on its payments. If no action is taken before the end of the month, we could be a few more months behind. “It’s like having $100 in your checking account and $8,000 worth of bills on your table to pay now and another couple of thousand dollars coming in the mail and $116,000 on your credit card that you owe. You have to make a monthly contribution on that for the pension payment and you have $100,” she said at her press conference.
Senate Week in Review
June 20-24
As lawmakers continue to try and negotiate a balanced budget before the fiscal year ends June 30, more than 40 Illinois mayors publicly underscored their support during the week for the stop-gap fiscal plan offered by Republican lawmakers and the Governor. Illinois transportation officials recently announced that without a budget, the Department of Transportation (IDOT) will no longer have authority to spend money related to the state’s capital construction plan, including highway, rail, transit and airport improvements. Additionally, IDOT will no longer have the authority to distribute lo-
cal governments’ share of the Motor Fuel Tax, which officials say will be a huge hit to the counties, cities and townships that rely heavily on these funds to pay for local projects. Local government, transportation officials stress importance of stopgap budget More than 40 mayors and village presidents from throughout Illinois signed a letter submitted to publications across the state urging passage of Republican lawmakers’ short-term budget bills to ensure schools can open this fall and government operations can continue. Bipartisan, bicameral budget negotiations continue between law-

This is no way to run a state. Our social services are being irreparably harmed because they are not getting paid. Some of them have already been forced out of business. Our colleges, universities, and college students are waiting for their funds to be replenished. The $600 million dollar stopgap we approved in the spring has almost all been exhausted. All of this, and the Speaker says there’s nothing to vote-on. It is clear that the majority party is willing to hold everyone hostage until the election. This isn’t a game. People’s lives are at stake. People’s jobs are hanging on by a thread. After this month, Illinois will be the first U.S. state since the Great Depression to try to operate for more than one year without a budget. As a result, Illinois now has the lowest credit ranking of all 50 states. Illinois schools operated on schedule in 2015-2016. Despite the budget impasse, the General Assembly did pass an education bill for last
year. This year however, it seems that Democrats aren’t interested in passing a standalone education bill. They want a bill that would bail out Chicago Public Schools and specifically the Chicago Teacher’s Pension Fund for several hundred million dollars. The House Republicans have introduced a standalone education bill, but the Speaker will not call it to a vote, fearing that Chicago Public Schools will not get bailed out. As they hold every student in this state hostage for a Chicago bailout, our kids could see their school programs vanish. The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) says that their road projects will shut down. The state has money set-aside for construction projects however IDOT cannot spend the funds without authorization from the state legislature. The other bill in our bridge package, HB 6585, would serve as a stopgap for capital projects and keep our construction workers on the job.
HB 6585 and HB 6583 both sit in Springfield waiting to be called to a vote by the Speaker of the House. Like I have said previously, there are solutions available to avoid a state shutdown. We have two bills that are temporary, non-controversial solutions that could be votedon today that would stop this fiscal uncertainty among our schools, universities, human services, and capital projects. There is only one person standing in the way of it – Speaker Michael Madigan. This week’s column reminds me of a quote by Jim DeMint who said “Compromise works well in the world when you have shared goals.” It’s time we stop thinking about the November election and do what is right for the people of Illinois and pass these two bills.

makers, legislative staff and the Governor’s office, as state leaders try to negotiate, minimally, a stopgap budget to fund General State Aid for Illinois schools, keep state operations going, and fund human and social services, among many other state obligations. Republican lawmakers have encouraged rankand-file legislators on the other side of the aisle to hold their leaders accountable, and support calls to return to Springfield to vote on budget measures. Local government leaders stressed the need for “a plan to ensure funding for schools and local government until a comprehensive budget resolution can be reached.” They pointed to a budget package introduced by Republican legislative leaders, calling the proposals “common-sense” and “fiscally prudent and fully-funded, contrary to the numerous unfunded, out-ofbalance spending plans” that were pushed by Democrat lawmakers during the spring. Notably, the local leaders said two of the GOP lawmakers’ proposals (SB 3434/HB 6583) “will
fund early childhood, elementary and secondary education for the upcoming school year and ensure our schools open on time this fall. Unlike previously floated education plans, this proposal is fully funded and would not require any additional revenues or add to the state’s ever-increasing bill backlog. Additionally, the bill contains a holdharmless provision which ensures that any school which would have lost dollars under the current funding formula will at least receive the same amount as they did last year.” In their letter, mayors and village presidents also pushed for passage of Republican legislation (SB 3435/ HB 6585), which they noted “funds the state’s full road construction program in Fiscal Year 2017, including bridge repair and local government road allocations, which are funded predominantly out of motor fuel tax funds and vehicle registration fees” while also providing “appropriations for capital projects in mid-construction that were halted due to lack of appropriation authority in Fiscal Year 2016, including projects for public universities and
community colleges. Additionally, this bill provides funds for utilities, food and medical services at state prisons, mental health centers and veterans’ homes.” Transportation and capital development officials echoed these concerns, noting that without a budget agreement in place, IDOT will be forced to shut down its construction program. Lacking appropriation authority, meaning the ability to pay contractors for the work they do for IDOT, the state’s transportation department will suspend work on all projects currently in the construction and engineering phases. Additionally, this shutdown will include local projects paid for using state funds, as well as rail, transit and aeronautics projects. Unless a budget measure is passed, this move would impact 25,000 workers and more than 800 construction projects across the state. IDOT has already ordered a halt to all demolition work, meaning road crews won’t prep to begin new projects unless they believe they can get them done by June 30. The Executive Director of the Capital Development Board noted that the impasse has a particularly significant impact on other infrastructure improvement projects in Illinois, which include more than 200 capital projects that weren’t funded in the Democrat lawmakers’ previous Fiscal Year 2016 capital appropriations bill. This includes public university and community college projects, mental health facilities and veterans’ home projects that could resume. The fiscal year ends June 30. The Senate has been scheduled to convene on June 29.

Broadway’s party musical ‘Rock of Ages’ Rocks opens at Timber Lake Playhouse After hit runs on Broadway, in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, Rock of Ages is hitting the stages of regional theatres for the first time. Timber Lake Playhouse will present this show that the New York Times called, “a seriously silly, absurdly enjoyable arena rock musical,” from June 30 to July 10 at the theatre in rural Mount Carroll. Set on L.A.’s infamous Sunset Strip at the end of the Reagan era, this exuberant show features hit tunes from the decade of big bands, big egos and even bigger hair. The story follows Drew, an aspiring singer, and Sherrie, a wanna-be actress, who meet while working together at the Bourbon Room, a sleazy but stillcharming rock club. Complications arise when the couple splits up and a team of German developers scheme to turn the beloved Strip into a strip mall. But if we learned anything from the mid to late Eighties, don’t stop believing. Brigitte Ditmars returns to TLP to direct the show that features dozens of hits from the era by Styx, Journey, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, Poison, Pat
Benatar and more. With so many hit songs, the show takes on the energy of a rock concert more than a typical musical. The onstage band is led by Cindy Blanc, with choreography by Jon Martinez. The cast for Rock of Ages is made up of the company’s physically and vocally astonishing resident performers. Christian Chambers stars as Drew, and Annalise Griswold plays Sherrie. Newcomer Kieran McCabe plays famed rocker Stacee Jaxx. Chandler Smith returns as lovable narrator Lonny. Because Rock of Ages sends up the hard-rock, MTV style of the era, discretion is advised when considering bringing kids to the show. Tickets are $17-$25 dollars and may be purchased at www.timberlakeplayhouse. org or by calling (15) 244-2035. A cash bar is open prior to and during the show. TLP is located at 8215 Black Oak Road in Mount Carroll.

lettuce instead of the Spring Mix lettuce. If you like Gouda cheese, you can crumble some of that on the top also. The dressing is refreshing, and the strawberries make for a different lettuce salad.
Strawberry Salad
The not so skinny cook I am so glad I have air conditioning. As I am writing this column, the temperature is climbing to 90, and since I have no swimming pool, it is nice to sit in the coolness of my house. This week’s recipes will help you survive the summer heat. There are some cool salads, some great sides, a main entrée, and a yummy rhubarb dessert. Do you want a delicious patriotic salad? This salad takes a little time, but the end result is worth it. Enjoy this beautiful salad—actually it really looks like a work of art!
Red, White’n’ Blue Salad
1 pkg. (3 oz.) berry blue gelatin 2 C. boiling water, divided 2½ C. cold water, divided 1 C. fresh blueberries 1 envelope unflavored gelatin 1 C. heavy whipping cream 6 T. sugar 2 C. (16 oz.) sour cream 1 t. vanilla extract 1 pkg. (3 oz.) raspberry or strawberry gelatin 1 C. fresh raspberries or strawberries Whipped topping and additional berries for garnish Dissolve berry blue gelatin in 1 cup boiling water; stir in 1 cup cold water. Add blueberries. Pour into a 3 quart serving bowl—this salad looks great in a clear glass bowl or a triffle bowl. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. In a saucepan, sprinkle unflavored gelatin over ½ cup cold water, and let stand for 1 minute. Add the cream and sugar; cook and stir over low heat until dissolved. Cool to room temperature. Whisk in sour cream and vanilla. Spoon over the blue layer. Refrigerate until firm. Dissolve the raspberry gelatin in remaining boiling water; stir in remaining cold water. Add the raspberries. Spoon over the cream layer. Chill until set. Top with whipped topping and berries as a garnish. Many people have strawberries from their garden. You can use them in pies, desserts, bread, and salads. This next recipe is for a strawberry salad with a poppy seed dressing. You can use regular red or green leaf
Millie’s quote of the week
“Remember happiness doesn’t depend upon who you are or what you have; it depends solely on what you think.” Dale Carnegie
Dressing: 3 T. raspberry vinegar 2 T. olive oil 1 t. honey ½ t. poppy seeds Salt and pepper to taste Salad 3 C. baby spinach 3 C. Spring Mix lettuce 2 C. fresh strawberries, quartered 1 C. cucumbers, sliced in a half moon ¼ C. sliced green onions Dressing: whisk together the vinegar, oil, honey, and poppy seeds and season with salt and pepper. Toss the spinach, lettuce, strawberries, cucumbers, and green onions with vinaigrette. Garnish with chopped pecans or sliced almonds. Several weeks ago I had a recipe for root beer and apple flavored baked beans. A reader sent this root beer baked beans recipe just in time for a Fourth of July picnic. The recipe calls for pinto beans instead of the regular pork and beans. Enjoy this tasty treat for a great picnic.
Root Beer Baked Beans
4 strips bacon, diced 2 C. diced onions 1 green pepper, seeded and diced 1 T. minced fresh garlic 2 C. root beer 2 cans (15 oz. each) pinto beans, drained and rinsed 1 can (10.75 oz.) tomato purée ½ C. ketchup ¼ C. packed brown sugar 2 T. Worcestershire sauce 1 T. cider vinegar 1 T. yellow mustard ½ t. Tabasco sauce 1 T root beer extract 1 t. salt Topping: 3 slices bread, buttered 2 T fresh parsley Preheat the oven to 425. Cook the bacon in a nonstick skillet until crisp; transfer to a paper-towellined plate and discard all except 1
tablespoon drippings. Sauté onions, pepper and garlic in the drippings over medium heat until soft, 5 minutes. Deglaze skillet with root beer and bring to a boil; reduce until nearly evaporated, 10 minutes. Stir in beans, tomato purée, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire, vinegar, mustard, Tabasco, root beer extract, salt, and reserved bacon; bring to a simmer. Transfer beans to a 1-quart baking dish. Topping: pulse bread in a food processor to crumbs. Add the parsley and pulse to combine. Top the beans with the bread crumb mixture; bake until crumbs are toasted and beans are bubbly, 15 minutes. I mentioned the beautiful radishes Barb Wire has at the Farmer’s Market. This interesting salad uses fresh green beans that have been blanched and cooled and radishes. The pesto is not the usual basil pesto, but a tarragon one instead. This salad is an unusual twist to green beans.
Green Beans and Radish Salad
1½ lbs. fresh green beans, trimmed 2 C. thinly sliced radishes Pesto: ½ C. pecan pieces ¼ C. fresh tarragon 3 T. grated Parmesan cheese ½ garlic clove ¼ t. sea salt 1/8 t. red pepper flakes 1½ t. white wine vinegar ¼ C. olive oil In a large stockpot, bring 8 cups of water to boil. Add the beans and cook, uncovered, 2-3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Remove beans and immediately drop into ice water. Drain and pat dry. In a large bowl, toss the beans and radishes together. In a food processor, place the pecans, tarragon, cheese, garlic, salt and pepper flakes and pulse until chopped. Add the vinegar and process until blended. Continue processing while gradually adding the olive oil in a steady stream. Toss the pesto with the been and radish mixture At a picnic I attended, we had the best sandwiches. They were based on the traditional “Maid-Rite” Sand-
Liles Chiropractic Clinic, Ltd.
wiches that are sold in their burger places. They were a hit and easily feed a crowd.
Maid-Rite Sandwiches
2 lbs. ground beef 1 chopped onion ¾ C. ketchup 2 T. brown sugar 2 T. distilled white vinegar 1 T. Worcestershire sauce 2 t. yellow mustard ½ t. salt Hamburger buns Heat a large skillet over mediumhigh heat and stir in the ground beef and onion. Cook and stir until the beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease. Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and salt. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes longer. Serve on warmed buns. You can also place the meat in a roaster and heat on low to serve at a picnic. I mentioned last week that Connie Loberg from Pearl City had sent two rhubarb recipes. This second one is great because of the crunch topping. It is also easy to assemble. I would again serve it with whipped topping or ice cream. Thanks, Connie, for thinking of us.

The roof is among the most important elements of building form. Barns are no exception. The gable roof on Dutch and Prairie barns, the cone-shaped, dome-shaped, eight or twelve-sided roof of round barns and the gambrel roof of the “typical” barn are among the most prominent features on these buildings.

Celebrate National Pollinator Week Information compiled by Tony Carton EDITOR
Pollinators are responsible for assisting over 80% of the world’s flowering plants. Without them, humans and wildlife wouldn’t have much to eat or look at! Animals that assist plants in their reproduction as pollinators include species of ants, bats, bees, beetles, birds, butterflies, flies, moths, wasps, as well as other unusual animals. Wind and water also play a role in the pollination of many plants. We all know honey comes from bees. But have you ever connected other foods you eat with the fact that they only exist because they’re pollinated by bees and other creatures? It’s an important connection to make, considering just how threatened bees, butterflies, birds, beetles and other important pollinators
TRACY SIEGNER PHOTOS The Scoop Today
This Bombyliidae or bee fly generally feeds on nectar and pollen flying from flower to flower where it walks the stamen or pollenproducing reproductive organ of a bloom with its spindly legs collecting pollen on its fuzzy body and then moving on to drop that pollen dust on the next flower, all the while collecting nectar with its proboscis.
are. The threats come from pollution, climate change, habitat destruction and use of toxic pesti-
cides and herbicides. But maybe the biggest threat is ignorance to how essential these creatures are to the
Bees collect pollen from plant anthers, mix it with a small dose of the secretion from salivary glands or nectar, and place it in specific baskets that are situated on the tibia of their hind legs. After the pollen is collected, it’s brought to the hive where it’s packed in honeycomb cells. Then the surface of the collected pollen is covered with a thin layer of honey and wax, creating “bee bread.” The bee bread undergoes anaerobic fermentation and is preserved by the arising lactic acid. The bee bread serves as the basic protein source for the bee colony.
web of life as well as our own food chain. Globally, 87 of 115 leading food
crops depend on animal pollinators and contribute 35 percent of global food production. What that means is, pollinators contribute more than $24 billion to the U.S. economy. Not only do pollinators help keep us fed; they also help sustain our prosperity. One way to protect the birds, bees, bats and beetles that help pollinate plants is by growing a garden that will help feed and nurture them. National Pollinator Week is a perfect time to plant a garden these creatures will love. Here’s how to get it off the ground. Choose Your Plants – Start by identifying the “eco region” you live in. The Pollinator Partnership offers plant guides to attract pollinators for 32 different regions of the U.S., plus Canada. Some examples of eco regions are: the Sierran Steppe, the Southeastern mixed forest, prairie parkland (subtropical), Ouachita mixed forest, outer coastal and Lower Mississippi riverine. Learn About Your Eco Region – The guide to your ecoregion will describe your microclimate, general topography and the flora (plants) and fauna (animals) commonly found in your region. It’ll provide an estimate of the amount of rain that falls in your ecoregion annually, let you know when the first frost usually strikes, and when the last frost usually occurs, which normally signals when it’s time to plant.
247939
Get Familiar with the Plant Traits the Pollinators Like – For example, bats prefer dull white, green or purple flowers with a strong musty odor emitted at night. On the other hand, bees prefer bright white, yellow or blue flowers that emit a fresh, mild scent and that have a sort of landing platform they can sit on, since they don’t extract pollen when they’re flying. Birds need strong perch supports and are attracted to scarlet, orange, red or white flowers. Pollinators are different animals, so the greater variety of plants you grow the greater variety of pollinators you’ll attract.

The art of food preservation has been passed down throughout the years from generation to generation. In recent decades however, home food preservation has not been seen as a necessity given the easy access we have to inexpensive and convenience foods in our modern society. However, with the growing cost of food, the local food movement and the desire to have more control over what goes into our food, there has been renewed interest in home-food preservation. Canning is one of many methods used in home-food preservation. “In order to ensure that your canned goods are safe, it is important to realize what was once considered safe for grandma, may not be safe for you and your family” states University of Illinois Extension Nutrition and Wellness Educator, Diane Reinhold. A lot of things have changed over the past 30 plus years, including the guidelines for canning. As new research is available, new recommendations are made helping to ensure your food is safely preserved. If canning is something you have always thought about learning, or if you simply want to update your food preservation knowledge, this workshop is for you. Join University of Illinois Extension’s Nutrition and Wellness Educator, Diane Reinhold, for Yes! You Can: Preserve It Safely – Water Bath and Pressure Canning Basics. This workshop will cover safe food handling practices, the latest, most up-to-date food preservation information on canning, and you will be able to get your dial gauge pressure canner tested for accuracy.

sees Highland’s emergency response plan. “This will be a vital exercise for the College to participate in to help ensure that our lead staff and local emergency responders are familiar with policies put in place to help protect our students and campus community.” “FHN plays a pivotal role in community preparedness. Working with our community partners in the EMS, Fire, and Law Enforcement fields is an ongoing process in preparing everyone to respond in a crisis situation,” said Doug Toepfer, FHN emergency preparedness coordinator. “The opportunity to work with HCC and bring them into our preparedness training is very exciting. This exercise is just one of many that FHN conducts or participates in every year. Preparing for the ‘what ifs’ is what emergency preparedness is all about.” For more information regarding the exercise, contact Stephenson County EMA director, Robert Baker at robert. baker@stcoema.org or 815.599.0344.

The following is a summary of action taken at the June 20, Scales Mound Community Unit School District #211 School Board meeting. For more information please contact Ruth Foley or Dr. Bill Caron at (815) 845-2215. On June 20, the School Board approved the appointment of Ms. Courtney Busch as junior varsity volleyball coach for the 2017 school year, accepted the resignation of Mr. Garrett Homb as junior high school football coach, and transferred Dr. Matt Wiederholt from high school football to junior high school assistant coach. The board approved the appointment of Ms. Bonnie Patterson as a paraprofessional. The board also approved a three-year contract with Superintendent, Dr. William Caron. Finally, the board approved the support staff contract. The contract is a three-year agreement. The board heard a presentation from Mrs. Lisa Oellerich regarding the success of this year’s FFA program and students. This included several state award winners and organizational recognition. Mrs. Oellerich has also been recognized as Teacher of the Month from Anderson-Weber Toyota. The board recognized the boys’ and girls’ track teams for their outstanding season. Both teams were Conference Champions for the fourth year in a row, and the girl’s team achieved third place as a team at the State meet. The girls’ softball team was recognized for receiving the Conference
Sportsmanship Award. Dr. Caron presented information to the board on the process for developing a budget for the 2017 school year. He stated that the District is aware that the State of Illinois has not appropriated any funding for public education and federal grants are also being held due to the budget crisis. The District will develop a budget based on local revenue and projected state and federal aid for preliminary consideration. However, Dr. Caron cautioned the Board that if the State does not appropriate funding the District would need to do some strategic planning to determine the effect of not receiving General State Aid or federal grant assistance. The 2017 Budget Hearing was set for August 15, at 6:45 p.m. The board accepted a donation of funds from Apple River State Bank to purchase a new scoreboard for the softball field.
