The Stockton fine arts department received a check Thursday from Sam Stoddard of Woodbine Bend Golf Course and Bridget Stocks of Scout magazine. The monies were raised through the annual Play It Forward golf tournament which set a goal of raising funds for the Jo Daviess County Schools’ Arts and Music Programs.
Jo Daviess County school fine arts departments celebrate Christmas Tony Carton Editor
STOCKTON — It was nearly 100 degrees in the shade Tuesday and Thursday when Sam Stoddard of Woodbine Bend Golf Course and Bridget Stocks of Scout magazine donned their virtual Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus suits and visited seven schools to make
Christmas come early. “On August 8 Scout Magazine and Woodbine Bend held their second annual Play it Forward golf tournament, this year raising funds for Jo Daviess County school arts programs,” said Stoddard. He said they raised a little over fifteen thousand dollars to be divided between the six school districts and the CTE
Academy in the county. “We are not stipulating any specific uses for the monies,” Stoddard said. “It is completely up to their discretion just as long as it is used for music and art programs.” He said the partnership is already looking to the future. “The third annual Play it Forward is scheduled for August 6, 2016 and we’re still looking
for a charity or project that will make use of the funds.” Last year’s funding went to the Riverview Center, a nonprofit agency committed to providing free, confidential, compassionate, client-centered care for individuals affected by sexual and domestic violence in the tri-state area. “And, next year is a giant question mark,” Stoddard said.
“We’re trying to figure out something that will benefit the community, bring everybody together and just make things better.” Stockton is one of the seven districts receiving funds from Play it Forward. Stockton art instructor Dorothy Ramey said while the funds

donated to the Stockton Arts department were not earmarked for a specific project they would help provide for workshops and supplies during the current school year. “I would say the arts are on a good strong building program at Stockton,” said Ramey. “We have some excellent students involved with the visual arts and musical arts.” Stockton music teacher/ drama coach Lana Crandall said the school’s drama department is in the greatest need of funding. “We are still trying to update our stage lighting and so that’s where these funds will come into play for us,” said Crandall. “We have a very strong drama department. The kids are doing very well and both our music and drama departments are exceptionally strong and we have a strong core of kids every year that keep building and making the program wonderful.”
Stockton District Superintendent and High School Principal David Gilliland seeing an outside group like the Woodbine Bend/Scout partnership pitch in is fantastic. “The arts often times get overlooked,” he said. “We got the booster and the foundation here, but there are always things that the music and art departments need.” He said the Stockton Boosters and the foundation have stepped up when the budget is tight, but there are always needs. “Sometimes we just don’t have the ability to get a full range of what we need,” said Gilliland. “For our size I think, and of course I’m biased, but I think we have one of the best fine arts departments in the state. We’ve won several state championships in a row and our art numbers are strong. We are a smaller school, but what our teachers get the kids to produce is great.”
Many thanks to the Stockton American Legion & Volunteers for the work they have done at the Townsend Cemetery. What a great job!

VIEWPOINT Illinois house meets, again fails to take budget action FREEPORT — Another week of session has come and gone without any action taken to fix the budget crisis. Legislators were dismissed from Springfield this past Wednesday and have been ordered to return on September 24th. That gives leaders in Springfield the opportunity to negotiate for a balanced budget and end the impasse within the next threeweeks. Each day, week and month we continue to delay a budget deal the gap between revenue and spending grows larger. Some estimates show that the gap is closer to $6 to $8 billion over the $32 billion dollar rev-
enue estimate at this point. How did we get here? Leaders continue to refuse to come to the table and compromise. All of the leaders should have the ability to listen to both sides and devise a compromise acceptable to both parties. I have read Governor Rauner’s compromise proposals, but I have not heard from Speaker
WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) announced Thursday, September 3 that the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA), part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), has awarded grants totaling $753,310 to communities throughout Illinois.
Brian Stewart STATE REPRESENTATIVE
Madigan other than his usually weekly talking points. When you hear the other side of the aisle say they don’t want to talk about the “nonrelated budget issues”, they just want to talk about the budget, what they’re really saying is they just want to raise taxes to increase government spending without making a single economic reform to increase jobs or a single government reform to save you money. What they’re really saying is let’s just raise taxes, go home, and make hardworking taxpayers foot the entire bill. We have to reign-in our spending and provide some
reforms that will help drive business to create jobs and give the people who truly need our help the opportunity to receive it. Raising taxes just to pay the bill doesn’t solve the problem. Offering ideas and solutions and then compromising will solve the problem. I hope everyone enjoys this Labor Day weekend and thank you to the hardworking families in the 89th District that continue make northwest Illinois great! In closing, “No government is perfect. One of the chief virtues of a democracy, however, is that its defects are always visible and under democratic processes can be pointed
out and corrected,” stated President Harry S. Truman. The people of Illinois pointed out the defects and elected Governor Rauner. While some might believe he is doing more harm than good, change is never easy. My colleagues and I stand united in our support for a truly balanced budget that protects the interests of taxpayers, working families and seniors.

Today’s funding will support and improve the capability of each department to respond to fires and other types of emergencies. “This federal funding will ensure that when fires or other emergencies occur in our communities, our nation’s firefighters and first-responders have access to the best resources and the equipment necessary to help protect them as they protect us,” Durbin said. Under this announcement, the Princeton Fire Department in Princeton, Illinois will receive $161,905 in funding for vehicle acquisition. Under this announcement, the Taylorville Fire Department in Taylorville, Illi-
nois will receive $5,455 in funding for regional fire protection efforts. Also under this announcement, the following fire departments and protection districts will receive funding for operations and safety: Streamwood Fire Department (Streamwood, Illinois): $40,910 in funding; Cherry Fire Protection District (Cherry, Illinois): $42,858 in funding; Prophetstown Fire Protection District (Prophetstown, Illinois): $193,286 in funding; City of Freeport Fire Department (Freeport, Illinois): $160,796 in funding; and Granite City Fire Department (Granite City, Illinois): $148,100 in funding. The funding is provided through the DHS’s Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program, which seeks to strengthen the nation’s overall level of preparedness and abil-
ity to respond to fire and fire related hazards. Since 2001, the AFG has provided approximately $5.25 billion in federal funding to first-responder organizations across the country to help purchase response equipment, personal protective equipment, training, and vehicles. This year, the AFG will award $304.5 million to first-responder organizations that need support to improve their capability to respond to fires and emergencies of all types.

I am sort of like the character from “Peanuts” because every time I would wear something white, I would have it dirty by ten o’clock in the morning. It is just easier on me not to wear white, and then I don’t have to worry about getting dirty. So summer is over, and fall is here. In Lena fall begins with the Lena Fall Festival. This week the excitement will build as the first of the rides arrive. It will be interesting to see how all of our construction and the new streets and lights will effect the celebrations. This week the column will continue to feature summer and fall produce. I hope you enjoy the salads, main dish, and desserts this week. The first recipe is for a great pasta salad with meat. You can use this dish as a main dish or a side dish. The Brie or Camembert cheese makes a great sauce. The recipe calls for basil leaves, packed and thinly sliced. A hint for this is to take your basil leaves
The not so skinny cook
Summer finally set in this past week. The hot and humid weather ushered out August and ushered in September. I am glad to be retired when the ninety degree weather sets in at the beginning of school. By the time this newspaper reaches you, we are to be cooling off. I love seventy degree weather, and I think that is what they are predicting. Summer is officially over; Labor Day has come and gone. Remember the old days when the “clothing” rules were in place. You were not to wear any white pants, shoes, purses, dresses, or skirts. I am not sure if the clothing police ever got anyone for breaking that rule. Now we wear what we want when we want—I can still remember when no one ever wore tennis shoes to school except the ones
and stack them on top of each other. Roll them up tightly and then slice them perpendicular in thin strips starting at one end. This technique in cooking is the French term Chiffonade or julienne. You didn’t know you would be doing any French cooking this week! Lena Maid Meat has some great sausage links—if the package is slightly larger, it will work just as well. You can also use any small pasta if you can’t find the mini-penne pasta. Enjoy this end of summer pasta salad.
Summer Garden and Sausage Pasta
3½ C. uncooked mini-penne pasta 12 oz. pkg. of sausage links 3 C. chopped tomatoes 8 oz. Brie or Camembert cheese, cubed 1 C. shredded Parmesan cheese 1 C. loosely packed basil leaves, thinly sliced 3 garlic cloves, minced ½ t. salt ½ t. pepper ¼ C. olive oil Cook the pasta according to package directions. Grill the sausages covered over medium heat or broil the sausages turning them over several times.

Remove from grill or pan and cut into slices. Drain the pasta; transfer to a large bowl. Stir in sausage, tomatoes, cheeses, basil, garlic, salt and pepper. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat. My mother used to make this coleslaw a lot in the summer. The tangy dressing has a great flavor for the cabbage. She never put in olives, but if she would see this recipe, she would add them in a minute.
Overnight Coleslaw
2½ lbs. cabbage (about 1 medium head), shredded 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced ½ C. chopped green pepper ½ C. red pepper ½ C. sliced stuffed olives ½ C. white wine vinegar ½ C. oil ½ C. sugar 2 t. Dijon mustard 1 t. salt 1 t. celery seed 1 t. mustard seed In a 4-quart bowl, combine the cabbage, onion, peppers, and olives. In a saucepan, combine the remaining ingredients and bring them to a boil. Cook and stir for 1 minute or until sugar is dissolved. Pour over the vegetables and stir gently. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Mix well before serving. This recipe is from the Farm Bureau magazine. I love the taste of the Dijon and the red wine vinegar. This is a great summer salad that can be used any time, but it is great with fresh green beans.

Place a steamer basket in a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Add the green beans and steam for about 4 minutes. Remove from basket and run under cold water; drain completely. Transfer to a bowl. Add the nuts and onion to the green beans. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, and mustard. Toss the dressing with the green beans. Season with salt and pepper Have some extra tomatoes? This salsa recipe is an easy one, and it is made in the slow cooker. You just dump the first seven ingredients together and turn on the slow cooker. Be especially carefully handling the jalapeno peppers. Most cooking magazines suggest wearing rubber gloves—whatever you do, don’t touch your face. It won’t be a pleasant experience. After cooking the tomatoes and the spices, you add the tomato paste and fresh peaches to the cooker, but you do not heat it or cook it additionally. The peaches stay nice and do not become soft and mushy. Serve it over cream cheese as an appetizer, with tortilla chips or thin crisp crackers, or as a side to any meat dish.

Add the cabbage, beans, celery, carrots, onion, thyme, bay leaf, garlic and salt to the stock mixture. Cook, covered, on low 6-8 hours or until vegetables are tender. Remove the thyme springs and bay leaf. Top each serving with cheese. Looking for an easy Tex-Mex entrée that will use some of the plentiful zucchini? This recipe fills the bill. It uses healthy zucchini and black beans. There are a lot of mushrooms in it, and this ingredient might turn some people off. (I find that if you chop them up pretty small, most mushroom haters don’t even know they are there.) This is a great meal to serve during the week; you can make it the night before and then bake it when you get home from work.

I can’t golf any more, but I was curious to see the course. I saw it the first year it was open, and I assumed things would have changed. It was a great morning on a beautiful golf course. You get a different perspective on Lena from the course. The weather was perfect, and we had a great time talking about the course and the changes I noticed. This course is a gem, and our community can be proud of this asset. If you are a golfer, enjoy playing this wonderful course. I also got to see some of my golfing buddies from long ago. It was a nice way to end August and the summer. I mentioned the Fall Festival is this weekend. I will have to do

¼ t. coarse salt Black pepper 1 medium zucchini, sliced lengthwise and thinly sliced into half moons 1 can (15 oz.) black beans, drained and rinsed 6 oz. cream cheese 1 t. dried oregano 1 can (4 oz.) green chiles 12 flour tortillas (6-inch), warmed 1 can (10 oz.) enchilada sauce Mexican blend cheese (optional) Sour Cream (optional) Preheat the oven to 375. Spray a 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, mushrooms, salt and pepper and cook and stir until mushrooms start to turn a golden brown, about 8 minutes. Add the zucchini and cook and stir until tender, 5 minutes more. Stir in beans, cream cheese, and oregano and cook until the cheese is melted and blended into the mixture, about 3 minutes. Stir in chiles and remove pan from heat. Place 1/3 Cup of the mixture along the edge of one tortilla and roll it up. Place it in the pan seam side down. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Pour sauce evenly over the top. Bake until the top starts to brown, about 25 minutes. Serve with shredded Mexican blend

combine tomatoes, onion, peppers, brown sugar, cilantro, garlic and salt; stir in 2 cups chopped peaches. Cook, covered, on low heat 3-4 hours or until onion is tender. Stir in the tomato paste and remaining chopped peaches into the slow cooker. Transfer to covered storage containers (If freezing the salsa, use freezersafe containers and fill to within ½ inch of the top.) Refrigerate salsa up to 1 week or freeze the salsa up to 12 months. Thaw frozen salsa in the refrigerator before serving. I guess cabbage is the theme for this week. The beautiful heads are everywhere at Farmer’s Markets and on sale in grocery stores. This soup can even be made with the not so nice cabbage at the end of the season. If you want to substitute vegetable stock for chicken stock to make this a truly meatless recipe, the flavor is just fine. I also like small toasted croutons with the shredded Parmesan cheese as a topping.

The people who plan and work this event work very hard for all of us to enjoy; it helps to have good weather. When I was teaching in the junior high, Fall Festival was the big event for those students and the elementary students. Excitement ran high, and not a lot of learning could be accomplished. The innocence and excitement of children make this even special.
One of the casualties of the Fall Festival is that there will be no Farmer’s Market this Saturday. They will be back next week with all kinds of good things. Remember that we are on the hunt for some good squash, apple, pumpkin, and pork recipes for fall.

Internationally known author to present at Freeport writing conference FREEPORT — The Mississip- people get rejected, why some ing his personal writing and pubpi River Writers Conference will be held on Saturday, October 3rd from 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. at the Freeport Public Library in Freeport, Illinois. The conference will host three speakers who will be presenting throughout the day. Anyone who writes, whether published or not, is invited to come. Participants will have a chance to share their work with others during group sharing time. This is a great time for getting a critique, getting help with something, or just sharing accolades. A fun group writing exercise is included in the day, and lunch is included in the $50 conference fee. The conference is a great time to get to know other writers in the area, and will give participants a chance to network with others. There will be a writing contest offered this year for all paid participants. One of the speakers will judge the contest and a nice prize will be awarded at the end of the day. Speakers will include Fred Waiss, author of, Prophecy of Honor. He writes mostly speculative fiction short stories and novels, and writes a monthly review column for the on-line magazine Page and Spine. From Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, Fred is a retired high school English and physical education teacher. At the conference, he will be speaking on, “Rejections can be good, but how to avoid them.” He’ll discuss why
of those rejections are good, and also give anecdotal references to some great authors that got rejected. He’ll also be talking about the importance of earning those rejections, and some ways to avoid the needless ones. Don Harstad is an internationally-known mystery writer from Elkader, Iowa. A retired Deputy Sheriff, he draws upon his professional experiences for many of the characters and situations described in his novels. The author’s first novel, Eleven Days, was nominated for an Anthony award as Best First Novel. In 2000, it was sold to Warner Brothers Theatrical Film Division. In 2008 the motion picture rights to the same novel were sold to Solar Productions of Paris, France. The author has written six novels in his Carl Houseman series, which is currently published in nine languages in over twenty countries. Don will be at the conference speaking on, “Write because you Want to.” He will also be shar-
lishing stories, and is a wealth of information on the traditional publishing world. Kim Sigafus is an award-winning Native American author of fiction and non-fiction. All of her work has a Native theme running through it including, Native Writers Voices of Power which was honored with a USA Best Book Award and an American Indian Youth Literacy Award. The author has traveled all over the Midwest presenting Native American programs for libraries and schools, and is considered a hybrid author as she is traditionally published and selfpublished. She is also the Commissioning Editor for McIver Publishing, a Freeport company that helps authors self-publish their work inexpensively.

National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion observes September as national Childhood Obesity Month STATELINE — About 1 of every 5 (17%) children in the United States has obesity and certain groups of children are more affected than others. While there is no single or simple solution, National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month provides an opportunity for learning about ways to prevent and address this serious health concern. Childhood obesity is a major public health problem. Children who have obesity are more likely to have obesity as adults. This can lead to lifelong physical and mental health problems, including diabetes and increased risk of certain cancers.
Children who have obesity face more bullying and stigma. Childhood obesity is influenced by many factors. For some children and families factors include too much time spent in sedentary activities such as television viewing; a lack of bedtime routine leading to too little sleep; a lack of community places to get adequate physical activity; easy access to inexpensive, high calorie snacks and beverages; and/or a lack of access to affordable, healthier foods. There are ways parents can help prevent obesity and support healthy growth in children.
PH TOS
To help ensure that children have a healthy weight, energy balance is important. To achieve this balance, parents can make sure children get adequate sleep, follow recommendations on daily screen time, take part in regular physical activity, and eat the right amount of calories. Parents can substitute higher nutrient, lower calorie foods such as fruit and vegetables in place of foods with higher-calorie ingredients, such as added sugars and solid fats. Parents can serve children fruit and vegetables at meals and as snacks. Parents can ensure access to

HCC Theatre Department to hold auditions for fall production
FREEPORT — The Highland Community College Theatre Department will hold auditions for its fall production of Paul Rudnick’s comedy, “I Hate Hamlet.” Auditions will be held from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. on September 9 in the Fine Arts Theatre in the Ferguson Fine Arts Center. Auditions will be a cold reading from the script. Auditions are open to HCC students and residents of the Highland Community College district. The roles for the production include three women and three men. The director is Mark Jansen; Dave Vrtol is technical director, and Linda Foat-Adams is the costume designer. The story: Andrew Rally seems to have it all: celebrity and acclaim from his starring role in a hit television series; a rich, beautiful girlfriend; a glamorous, devoted agent; the perfect New York apartment; and the chance to play Hamlet in Central Park. There are, however, a couple of glitches in paradise. Andrew’s series has been canceled; his girlfriend craves romance with unyielding conviction; and he has no desire to play Hamlet. When Andrew’s agent visits him, she reminisces about her brief romance with John Barrymore many years ago, in Andrew’s apartment. This prompts a séance to summon his ghost. From the moment Barrymore returns, dressed in high Shakespearean garb, Andrew’s life is no longer his own. Barrymore, fortified by champagne and ego, presses Andrew to accept the part and fulfill his actor’s destiny. The action becomes more hilarious with the entrance of Andrew’s deal-making friend from LA, spouting the laid-back hype of the Coast and offering Andrew a fabulous new TV deal worth millions of dollars. The laughs are nonstop as Andrew wrestles with his conscience, Barrymore, his sword, and the fact he hates “Hamlet.” Production dates are as follows: Thursday, October 8 at 7:30 p.m. Friday, October 9 at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, October 10 at 7:30 p.m. For more information contact Mark Jansen at mark.jansen@ highland.edu or 815.599.3455 for more information or to schedule another time to audition.

What’s going on at Lena UMC PASTOR’S CORNER LENA — On Rally Day Lena UMC collected and assembled 100 health kits for distribution to flood victims. They were sent to UMCOR in Baldwin, LA. Each kit included a hand towel, wash cloth, tooth paste, tooth brush, bar soap, band aids, and a nail file or clipper. Also, on Rally Day there was a collection for school supplies. There were 8 boxes of school supplies delivered to The Carol Robertson Center for Learning in Chicago, Il. This will allow many underprivileged kids the use of necessary supplies they will need for school. Sunday school has started last week. The high school class is studying the Book of James. The adult class is studying “The Call” by Adam Hamilton. This is a six week study of the Apostle Paul. The first lesson gave us insight into Paul’s early life. He was raised in Tarsus and was a Roman Citizen. He continued his education in Jerusalem under Gamaliel, a knowledgeable and respected Rabbi. After Jesus’s resurrection he persecuted the Christians around Jerusalem. He volunteered to go to Damascus to bring any followers of Christ back to Jerusalem. On his way he saw a bright light from the heavens that blinded him and then the voice of Jesus asking “why are you persecuting me?” His
encounter with Christ changed his life forever. Paul continued on to Damascus and his eyes were covered with scales and remained blind. At this time another character enters the story. A follower of Christ living in Damascus who was probably one of the Christians Paul was coming to capture. This Christian was Ananias who was visited by Jesus. Now, Ananias was aware of the history of Paul’s persecution of Christians and I am sure he was confused by Christ’s insistence that he go to the house were Paul was staying. Ananias followed God’s words and went to Paul and prayed for him to be filled with the holy spirit. Paul’s sight was returned and he was baptized. This is the only mention of Ananias in the Bible but his actions are important for us to remember. God sometimes asks us to do things we don’t understand. But, think what the world would be like today if Ananias had not listened to God’s message and Paul had not been there to spread Christianity to the rest of the world. Lena UMC will be offering a disciple class for anyone interested in learning more about the Bible. We will learn how God’s grace is there for us and how it can change our lives. We will study the Old Testament for 12 weeks and the New Testament

Serving for Him
Fawn Nolan Parish Assistant at St. John’s Lutheran Church
LENA — Every day we make decisions about what we are going to do with our 24 hours. Some of our time is already set in stone based on our routine, some based on choices and commitments we have already made in the past. It’s not always easy to make decisions especially when there are so many worthwhile ways to spend a day. We have 24 hours in each day and they seem to fly by and get filled rather rapidly. When we make decisions, we have to weigh in the fact that some choices are ongoing and will continue for a long time based on the circumstances, other areas of time involvement will have to shift. I love the Bible verse that states “This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it” Psalm 118:24. It puts it into proper perspective that the day and the gifts that lie within each one of us is from the Lord. Our choices should revolve around Him. In the book of Judges we find a unique situation, Deborah is the only woman in Israel to become a Judge. Judges 4:4 tells us “Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was leading Israel at that time.” Not only was Deborah a prophetess, but she was a leader and judge, she was a wife and a mother. One wonders what made her so outstanding that she was given these jobs. And how did she juggle her job with her family and other responsibilities? She was uniquely used, and what made her so outstanding is that she kept her role in perspective and kept her eyes on her service to God. During her time in leadership of Israel she settled disputes between the people. Through her the Lord gave His word for others to follow. Deborah sang a song in praise of the Lord. This woman’s life

of service for the kingdom is a good example for us all. As we do our jobs, if we don’t stay focused on God Himself, we can become overwhelmed with the service to God—where the actual work becomes the focus instead of the One whom we serve. Satan has a way to subtly turn your eyes from God. As you get caught up in the service, regardless of how many people you may be helping, you will eventually burn out or become ineffective because your work is not revolving around God. Service for the kingdom does not consist of what you do or what you give; it depends on who you are. When God is in control, He provides you ways to serve. As you give your life to Him, He will give you a zestful, fruitful life. This is His gift to you because you gave your life to Him. When God is using you, keep your eyes on Him. To look anywhere else spells failure. Peter discovered this when he tried to walk on the water. Matthew 14:30 “But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” In this day of instant satisfaction it is all the more important to remember that none of our decisions will begin fully equipped. As we allow God to be the focus, He cultivates and blesses us. We limit God, basically put Him in a box, when we restrict our potential for service. It can happen to individuals, small groups, congregations, and the community at large. How many neglected opportunities slip by because of this kind of self-limitation? We excuse our decision that should be based on faith with the supporting excuses that we don’t
