Lightning strike destroys church

During the Thursday night storms, a lightning strike left the 150-year-old Zion Community Church near Pearl City a mass of charred ruins.

Brew and Chew in Pearl City plans full weekend of fun for kids of all ages EDITOR

The Brew and Chew in downtown Pearl City is announcing a full weekend of music, games, a corn hole tournament and kid’s fest beginning Saturday, Aug 6 at 10 a.m. with a full blown Corn Hole Tournament featuring 20 teams locked in competition and prizes for first, second and third place finishers. The fun moves into the afternoon with the opening of the Brew and Chew Biker’s Games featuring a ring toss, the dreaded weenie bite competition and a balloon toss, a 50/50 raffle and Cubs tickets are on the table for the big winners. Then from 7 p.m. until midnight some of the region’s best bands will take the stage for an epic night of rock and roll in the streets of Pearl

City. “Saturday is looking to be the day for motorcycle games and outdoor music,” said Brew and Chew co-owner Sylvia Martin. “The Beer Garden will be open at 11 a.m. and stay open until around one in the morning and there will be no cover charge when the bands take the stage.” She said Sunday will be for the kids. “Sunday we will be having a kid’s festival and the Pearl City Fire Department is helping us with it,” Martin said. “We will have a bouncy house. We’re going to do Olympic Games for the kids with three legged races, hula hoop contests, a dunk tank, a parachute wheel and much more.” The fire department will be staging water fights and possibly a few

more surprises. “We will be having a big tug of war using a hundred foot of rope in the street downtown,” Martin said. “We’ll be judging sidewalk chalk drawings and Bozo Buckets, we’ll have a spoon egg race and a huge Jenga Puzzle.” Everyone who participates in the Olympic Games, will have a chance to win a medal! “We will also be running a food tent,” she said. “We’ll be grilling brats and hotdogs all day and there’ll be chips and soda, and water and ice

cream for sale in the food tent.” She said the Kids Festival will run from noon till five on Sunday and admission is free. “We bought Brew and Chew two years ago and we were going to do a beer garden with a festival the first year, but we decided to wait and see how things went,” Martin said. “Pearl City used to have Homecoming Days, but that hasn’t happened for a while, so we started thinking about staging a festival and here we are.” They decided to spread the fun

over a weekend and stage bikers’ day on the first day and then stage something special for the kids on the next. “There is no cost for any of the kids to register for any of the Olympic Games,” she said. “There will be souvenirs and food and beverages for sale, but it’s a fun filled event for kids and admission and the games are all free.

Lena Library News By Dixie Althoff DIRECTOR

As I write this article inside where it is so pleasant, the temperature continues to climb outside. Good old Summer time! Please remember to drink lots of water and don’t do anything outside that can wait for a few days. Use good judgment if you do have to be out for any length of time. The first two weeks of summer reading classes have went great. Last week all the classes made rackets to play “Balloon Tennis.” The rackets were made from a paper plate and a paint stir stick (thanks to Ms. Kathy’s next door neighbor for all the paint sticks). Each child could decorate his or her racket the way they wanted. The little ones had a fun time just trying to hit the balloon. All the older children had a Tennis competition. There were some really competitive kids! This week all classes made pennants. They all decorated their own pennant. There were some very nice ones. The older children had balloon tennis competitions and were awarded prizes. The winning team got first pick!! Last Friday we had our third summer reading movie day. We showed The Peanuts Movie. We had a pretty good attendance considering all the activities children are involved in during the summer. One more movie day this Friday

and then July 29 is what the kids have been waiting and working for all summer. CARNIVAL!!!! The carnival is done in an open house format from 1—3 p.m. Younger children must have a parent or guardian accompany them/third, fourth and fifth graders can attend alone. We have had some good readers this summer. When you visit the library please check out the Read for the Win Poster. Each star is for every ten books or every 2 hours of reading. The black on the poster is almost covered. That is a lot of books! The winner of our final Guess How Many contest was Sydney Duncan. Congratulations! The last two weeks winners for the adult program were Deb Winning and Kathy Baldauf. The Adult program will end Aug. 31. Keep up the good reading.

Senate Week in Review July 18-22

A new law signed during the week will help the families of crime victims by extending the statute of limitations on violent crimes and strengthening Illinois’ Freedom of Information Act laws. Also signed into law by Gov. Bruce Rauner was a bill I cosponsored to expand insurance coverage in Illinois to include cutting-edge breast cancer screenings, and other measures targeting the retail sales of synthetic drugs and reinforcing the state’s commitment to early childhood education. Governor signs Molly’s Law The legislative package known as Molly’s Law will strengthen the state’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and extend the period of time in which a victim’s family can file a wrongful death lawsuit when the act is intentional and violent in nature. House Bill 6083 allows a lawsuit in a wrongful death case to be brought within five years after the date of a death, or within one year after the criminal case against the perpetrator concludes. Additionally, House Bill 4715 provides for fines—up to $1,000 per day—in cases where a public body fails to comply with a court order resulting from a FOIA action. It also incentivizes public bodies to act in a timely manner in response to binding opinions from the Attorney General in FOIA cases. The new laws were sought by the family of Molly Young, a 21-year-old victim of a gunshot wound who died under questionable circumstances in

2012. The Young family faced an uphill battle in the pursuit of justice for Molly, hindered by the state’s statute of limitations for wrongful death cases and burdensome FOIA compliance issues. As a result, in May 2015 a judge dismissed a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Larry Young, ruling Young failed to file the lawsuit within two years of Molly’s death. House Bill 6083 and House Bill 4715 will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2017. Illinois continues to lead in early childhood education A new law signed July 21 reinforces Illinois’ leading role in early childhood education. As the first state in the country to make sure an allocation of early childhood education funding was directed to programs for infants and toddlers up to age three, Senate Bill 238 clarifies the original intent of the law to ensure that 25 percent of the early childhood block grant will be spent on programs that focus on children younger than three. It has been demonstrated that

easier to see through dense tissue and detect breast cancers. According to the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among Illinois women, accounting for 29.7 percent of 796,602 invasive cancer diagnoses in women during 1986-2013. In 2013 alone, 9,859 women were diagnosed with, and 1,761 women died from, breast cancer. IDPH projects that 10,290 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2016, and that the number will increase to 10,440 women in 2017. Senate Bill 466 took effect immediately. Banning sale of addictive bath salts Gov. Rauner also signed Senate Bill 210, giving law enforcement another tool to curb the growing number of retailers selling synthetic drugs popularly known as “bath salts.” The new law targets the sale of these synthetic drugs by prohibiting retailers from selling, or offering

for sale, any material that contains the “cathinone” chemical structure found in bath salts. Once the law takes effect on Jan. 1, 2017, it will be a Class 3 felony if the Act is violated, which could result in a potential fine up to $150,000. In addition, units of local government may revoke a violator’s license. Use of bath salts has been on the rise across the country for the last decade. It has been difficult for law enforcement to crack down on the bath salt epidemic, because in order to get around state and federal laws, manufacturers of synthetic drugs continue to modify their formulas. Bath salts are chemically similar to amphetamines, cocaine, and MDMA, and they produce effects such as paranoia, hallucinations, increased sociability, panic attacks and excited delirium. So named because these substances are often sold disguised as common bath salts, they are frequently available in convenience stores, smoke shops and adult stores. Bath salts are known to be extremely addictive, and even deadly.

early childhood is critical to intellectual, physical and behavioral development—particularly in the very early years after birth.Senate Bill 238 prioritizes state support to ensure children in Illinois begin their lives with a strong academic foundation and age-appropriate support and resources. Expanded coverage to include 3D breast cancer screenings Insurance plans in Illinois, including Medicaid, will now cover breast tomosynthesis, or 3D mammography, following the Governor’s recent approval of Senate Bill 466. The legislation, which I cosponsored, was unanimously supported by Illinois lawmakers, and praised as a critical tool to help with early detection of breast cancer. Breast tomosynthesis is a form of breast cancer screening that is newer and more effective than low-dose mammography. It works by creating an image of the breast through a series of X-rays from different angles. This enables doctors to have a clear, three-dimensional image, making it

ment. We need to put taxpayers’ dollars behind this commitment to end this epidemic, and it’s needed now,” said Durbin. “Failing to provide the dollars today is not going to help those who are currently suffering. It’s not going to help that mother who was awake all last night worrying about a son or a daughter who is facing an addiction, praying they can get that child they love into treatment in time to break that addiction and save their lives.”

Last month, Senator Durbin introduced comprehensive legislation to prevent prescription opioid addiction, as four out of five heroin users started by misusing prescription opioids. The Addiction Prevention and Responsible Opioid Practices Act (A-PROP Act) would curb the number of opioids flooding the market, increase accountability to ensure responsible prescribing practices, and support prevention efforts to reduce drug diversion and addiction.

major concern both for individuals and the campus community. Virtually ALL students experience the effects of college drinking, whether they drink or not. One fourth of college students experience academic consequences due to drinking and 20 percent met the criteria for alcohol abuse/ dependence, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Colleges students are injured, assaulted, attempt suicide, experience sexual abuse, health problems and die each year as a result of alcohol. Alcohol related problems tend to go up when alcohol is more readily

accessible to young adults. Allowing the sale of alcohol at sporting and public events at colleges could lead to an increase in underage drinking, alcohol abuse, and drinking and driving. The Board of Trustees at Illinois universities and community colleges will develop their alcohol policies within the next six months. If you are alumni or have children or grandchildren attending there, please contact the Board of Trustees. Ask the Trustees not to allow the sale of alcohol at sporting events, concerts, or public events in the stadiums/arenas.

Durbin noted that the CARA bill freezes funding for addiction treatment at a time when the number of deaths from opioid and heroin overdoses continues to grow. “When only 12% of the people in Illinois are able to receive care for their addiction and there is a 12week wait at facilities for vulnerable patients to get into drug treatment, authorizing new programs, which this bill does, is good but not good enough.

Master Gardeners present Therapeutic Horticulture Program The University of Illinois Extension Master Gardeners of Stephenson County have initiated a program entitled “Therapeutic Horticulture”. Therapeutic horticulture is a process that uses plants and plant-related activities through which participants strive to improve their well-being through active or passive involvement. Therapeutic horticulture is proven to have a positive impact on various populations such as the elderly and people with chronic health issues, including those with dementia.

Master Gardener volunteers fulfill a valuable role to facilitate and promote the restorative benefits of therapeutic horticulture in our communities. Each program consists of both an educational component and a topic related activity. Every effort is made to target one or more of the five human senses; sight, hearing, taste, smell or touch into the program. In addition to stimulating the senses, the sensory component adds interest and encourages participation.

Recently, the Master Gardeners presented a Therapeutic Horticulture program at Liberty Village of Freeport. The topic of the program was Perennial Gardens. Several residents of Manor Court at Liberty Village participated in the program. A brief overview of perennials was given. The Master Gardeners then passed around a variety of plant specimens for the participants to see, touch and smell. There was an array of beautiful flowers, various leaves and herbs. The residents enjoyed

reminiscing and sharing memories of their own gardens and favorite flowers, as well as learning about some new ones. The “My Dream Garden” activity followed the perennial presentation. Participants chose pictures of flowers and plants, cut and pasted them on cardboard sheets to create their very own “Dream Garden”. Many unique and beautiful gardens were created. The program was well received by the residents. All those in attendance were delighted to partici-

Pearl City author spends 70 years researching book Non-fiction author, Bob Kaminski will be holding a book signing at the Freeport Public Library on Saturday, July 30 from 3-5 p.m. He will be located in the Main Hall near the entrance. Kaminski’s newly-released book, Free the Captives has been a long time in the making. He spent seventy years seeking unbiased answers and truthful documentation pertaining to the life and teachings of the real Jeshua (Jesus). The last two

years were spent retrieving and sorting out evidence supplied by scholars of every discipline, and penning his original manuscript. Kaminski was born in Chicago during the great depression, where he feels exposure to ethnic cultures and religions was commonplace. Christened a Catholic, but confirmed a Lutheran, religion was instilled in him early on. Enrolled in catechism and Bible study at an early age, the priesthood seemed a

Do people really plan their funerals in advance? Many people choose to pre-

noble profession to pursue. He was inspired and awed by biblical scripture, but struggled to accept the unnatural improbabilities, and multiple questions arose as to the validity of the Gospels. “To Free the Captives is a treatise,” he said, “evidenced by scholars of every discipline, exposing Christianity as a continuation of religious mythology. The Gospel stories are for the most part fables, and all four Gospels of the New Testament are forgeries.” He goes on to say that Christianity, since its organized acceptance, is infused with

pagan ritual and pageantry. “To Free the Captives is a mustread for all Christians,” he said, “whether novice or bible scholar.” Kaminski will be personally signing his books on July 30 and will be happy to discuss his work with interested readers. Copies of his book will be available for purchase that day, or by calling (815) 443-2247. The book was published by McIver Publishing. The Freeport Public Library is located at 100 E. Douglas Street in Freeport, a block off Galena Avenue.

FROM LENA’S KITCHEN The not so skinny cook We have had our share of hot and humid weather; July is with us in full force. I feel bad about anyone who had to be out working in this weather. I am lucky enough to have air conditioning and when I work, I work in air also. I found out just how great it was on Thursday night when we had the storm that caused an electrical outage. My little brick house got plenty warm before the power came on. Some friends and I were at Timberlake Playhouse; the second act was about to begin, and we lost electricity. After waiting for a while, they helped us get out of the theater and to our vehicles. On the way home, we ran into horrible rain, limbs down, and fire trucks racing. My heart goes out to the congregation of Zion Church as they mourn the loss of their building. It is tough to lose a place that has so many memories for so many. This week’s recipes continue to use the fruits and vegetables of the season. The farmer’s market had great fruits and vegetables this week. One of this week’s recipes is for eggplant; Barb had beautiful egg plants. She also had black raspberries that can be used in the dessert recipe at the end of the column. Enjoy these summer vegetable and fruit eats as we battle the heat. It wouldn’t be summer if we didn’t continue with pickle recipes. This bread and butter recipe uses both white and brown sugar. There are still Vidalia onions around, so they would be great as the sweet onions. The red pepper flakes give it just a little kick. Enjoy these crunchy pickles as your favorite condiment. Bread and Butter Pickles 1 lb. cucumbers, thinly sliced 1 C. thinly sliced sweet onions 3 T. kosher salt ½ C. cider vinegar 1 C. white sugar ½ C. packed brown sugar 1 T. mustard seeds 1 t. celery seeds 1 t. red pepper flakes Combine the cucumbers, onions and salt in a bowl; cover with ice and let sit for one hour. Rinse and drain cucumbers and onions. Boil the vinegar, sugars (white and brown), mustard seeds, celery seeds, and pepper flakes in a pan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Pour the vinegar mixture over the cucumbers and onions in a large bowl or container, submerging them; chill for at least 4 hours. We are so lucky to have so many local sweet corn stands around. This recipe is an easy one because you

grill the peppers and the corn, and the Kraft dressing adds just the correct zip. Red Pepper and Corn Salsa 2 ears of corn 2 small red peppers 2 T. Kraft Zesty Lime Vinaigrette Dressing 1 T. chopped fresh cilantro Remove husks and silk from corn. Grill with red peppers about 7-8 minutes or until charred on all sides, turning occasionally. Place peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let stand 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins and seeds from the peppers. Finely chop the peppers and cut the corn from the cobs. Place in a medium bowl and add lime vinaigrette dressing. Add chopped cilantro and mix lightly. The baby spinach is really tender this time of year. This salad has the great taste of raspberry vinegar and the dried cranberries and almonds add just the right crunch. Spinach Salad 3 t. extra virgin olive oil 3 T. raspberry vinegar 1 T. minced green onions ¼ t. salt ¼ t. pepper 6 oz. fresh baby spinach ¼ C. dried cranberries ¼ C. crumbled feta or blue cheese 3 T. slivered almonds Whisk together the oil, vinegar, onions, salt and pepper. Toss spinach, cranberries, cheese and almonds with vinaigrette just before serving. Eggplant is one of those vegetables that takes on the flavor of whatever is in the dish. The panko bread crumbs make for a crunchy taste to the eggplant. The cream cheese and Parmesan cheese makes for a creamy sauce. Enjoy this unique way to use eggplant. Creamy Eggplant Parmesan Casserole ½ C. panko bread crumbs 1 C. shredded Parmesan cheese, divided 1 eggplant (about 1½ lb.) cut into ¼ inch thick slices 4 oz. cream cheese ¾ C. milk 3 cloves garlic, minced 6 T. chopped fresh basil, divided 16 Mozzarella Cheese slices 1 large tomato, thinly sliced Preheat the oven to 400. Cover 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Combine the bread crumbs and ¼ cup of the Parmesan in a shallow dish. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the crumb mixture for later use. Spray both sides of 1 eggplant slice with cooking spray; dip in remaining bread crumb mixture, turning to evenly coat both sides of the eggplant slice. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining eggplant slices. Bake 20 minutes or until eggplant is tender and golden brown, turning after 15 minutes. In a microwave safe bowl, microwave the cream cheese on High for 40 seconds. Gradually whisk in milk until blended. Stir in garlic and ¼ cup of

the basil Spread ¼ cup cream cheese mixture on the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate sprayed with cooking spray. Top with layers of 1/3 of the eggplant, 4 cheese slices, and ¼ cup of the remaining Parmesan; repeat the layers twice. Top with tomatoes, remaining cheese and reserved panko mixture. Bake for 25 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with remaining basil. This berry shortcake uses the great taste of raspberries, blackberries and blueberries. The shortcake is moist because of the buttermilk. Enjoy this great dessert with the season’s berry fruits. Buttermilk Berry Shortcake 3 C. raspberries 2 C. blackberries 3 C. blueberries ¼ C. plus 1/3 C. white sugar 1 T. lemon juice 3 C. flour 4 t. baking powder 1 t. baking soda 1½ t. salt 1½ sticks chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces 1 C. buttermilk 2 T. whipping cream ¼ C. light brown sugar ¾ C. whipped cream Toss together the berries, ¼ cup white sugar, and lemon juice in a bowl. Let stand until mixture is juicy, about 30 minutes Preheat the oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. ‘Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and remaining 1/3 cup of white sugar in a large bowl. Cut in butter with a knife or pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk just until flour mixture is moistened. Drop 1/3 cup scoops of dough about 2 inches apart onto the baking sheet. Brush biscuits with cream and sprinkle with sugar. Bake until golden brown, 15-20 minutes. For each serving, spoon ¾ cup berries with juice over a biscuit. Top with whipped cream I finally have my home improvements finished. I had a great carpenter, masonry man, and bricklayer as well as a carpet layer. The two projects took three months, but it is great now. If you need any of the above craftsmen, contact me because I will give them great recommendations. It wasn’t anyone’s fault that it took so long only a series of unfortunate events. Now all I have to do is clean up the garage. I have to make a salsa dip for tomorrow, and that is the only cooking besides making fresh vegetables

Join University of Illinois Extension Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, Grant McCarty, at area field days this summer. Our Late Summer Field Days will offer growers, whether new or experienced, as well as the general public, the opportunity to visit farms, learn about new techniques, and find out more about niche crops and how to grow them. Additionally, these farms will give participants a greater understanding of the diversity of operations within the local food system of Jo Daviess, Stephenson, and Winnebago counties, and also the challenges and opportunities that all three counties are facing. The field days are open to the public and there is no cost to attend. The first Late Summer Field Day will be at Freeport High School Student Vegetable Farm on Tuesday, August 16 from 4:30 to 6 p.m. The Freeport High School Vegetable Farm is located south east of the Freeport Middle School building just off of Locust Avenue and is run by Monica Pierce, the Freeport High School Ag teacher. “Last summer, Monica and her students hosted us to show how they operate their CSA and what they grow. This summer, we are pleased to join them again with a special focus on harvest. Many times homeowners are unsure when to pick certain crops and this field day will be spent focusing on when to pick, how to pick, and how to store your summer harvest,” states Grant McCarty. Students will also give a tour of their operation and share what they’ve been doing this summer on the farm. For more information or to register for this Late Summer Field Day, visit us online at http://web.extension.illinois.edu/jsw or contact the University of Illinois Extension at (815)235-4125. There is no cost to attend this program but pre-registration is required so that an accurate count of participants can be made.

‘Titanic the Musical’ launches at TLP

Timber Lake Playhouse, the professional summer theatre of northwest Illinois, presents the Tony Award winning musical Titanic July 28 through Aug. 7. Artistic director James Beaudry stages the epic musical telling of the world’s most famous ship. With one of the greatest musical scores ever written for the theatre, Titanic premiered on Broadway in 1997 with a cast of 37, winning the Tony Award for Best Musical. Revised for a cast of 20 in 2013, the show is quickly becoming a must-see in productions around the country. “Titanic is a show we’ve wanted to do at Timber Lake for several years. It is hands down one of the best written and exciting musicals I’ve had the privilege of working on, and the story of survival is so primal—we can all relate to it immediately,” Beaudry said. The production promises lavish sets and costumes on a scale that lives up to the title. The scenic design for Titanic is by Arnel Sancianco. Kenan Burchette is the costume supervisor. The summer season at Timber Lake concludes with the classic psychological thriller Gaslight from August 11-21. The Magic Owl Children’s Theatre at TLP will present a rock and roll musical version of The Three Little Pigs Aug. 2, 4, 5 and 6 at 2 p.m. for kids of all ages. In September, TLP will present a special production of Always … Patsy Cline for two weekends only. Tickets for Titanic are $17-$25 and may be purchased at www.timberlakeplayhouse.org or by calling (815) 244-2035.
