Be prepared! It’s tornado season in Indiana IN.GOV - Each year, Indiana Department of Health and Safety (IDHS) collaborates with the National Weather Service (NWS) during Severe Weather Preparedness Week to remind and educate Hoosiers about seasonal severe weather threats and how to effectively prepare for them. This year, Hoosiers can expect more active spring severe weather due to the climate conditions caused by the La Niña winter. “Severe weather statistics show that coming out of a La Niña winter often leads to more active severe weather spring patterns,” said Jason Puma, senior meteorologist with the NWS Indianapolis. “This means there is a higher chance of Indiana experiencing tornadoes, severe thunderstorms and flooding.” Identifying multiple methods to receive severe weather warnings, discussing severe weather safety plans with
loved ones, and creating a disaster kit are all things individuals can do to prepare for severe weather conditions. In an average year, 800 tornadoes are reported nationwide, resulting in 80 deaths and more than 1,500 injuries. Protecting Hoosiers since 2015, the IDHS Safe Room Program has helped residents and communities statewide install hardened structures specifically designed to provide "near-absolute protection" in extreme weather events, like tornadoes.
Safe rooms provide a shield of protection, and studies demonstrate that they can survive winds as high as 250 miles per hour. Built above or below ground level, safe rooms are customizable. They can be small enough for a family to seek shelter or large enough for dozens of school students and staff to hunker down. Terms to know - A variety of weather terms are used during natural disasters such as tornadoes, and while they may sound similar, there is an important difference among them. Tornado Watch: Conditions for a tornado is favorable. Tornado Warning: A tornado is reported, or the weather radar indicates one could develop soon. Before a tornado, Meteorologists can predict these violent forces of nature, but even with warning tornados can still be devastating. The best protection against
them is by being prepared. Make sure preparedness kits are portable for easy transport if evacuation is necessary. Preparedness kits should be tailored to household needs. Understand the risk of tornadoes in local areas and recognize the warning signs that indicate a tornado could or is forming. Tornados can occur at any time, and often happen at night. Conduct household tornado drills at various times during the day, so everyone is prepared for all eventualities. Identify safe places to shelter. For optimal protection, choose basements, inner rooms, and storm cellars away from doors, windows, and outer walls. Review and practice severe weather plans created by employers. If applicable, understand severe weather plans of local schools. Purchase and configure an See Tornado, Page 2

Tornado all-hazard weather radio and have more than one way to get weather alerts. During a tornado: Move to one of the identified safe locations and cover the head and neck with arms. Blankets, pillows, and furniture can provide additional protection. If in a vehicle, the best choice is to get out and take shelter in a strong building. If no building is available, stay in the vehicle, lower the head below the window and place arms over the neck and head to guard against injuries. Do not take shelter in underpass. Strong winds can cause damage to the structure and cause it to collapse. Individuals living in mobile or manufactured homes should move to a shelter with a strong foundation. If possible, bring pets indoors and secure them to prevent escaping. After a tornado:
continued from Page 1 Tornadoes have the ability to destroy buildings, uproot trees and leave behind a large amount of dangerous debris. Recovering from a devastating tornado can be a lengthy and hazardous process.
The following tips can make the recovery process slightly easier: Stay out of damaged buildings until they have been inspected and cleared by a building official; Help others, especially
those who might be trapped or injured; Reserve phone calls for emergencies. Phone wires may be damaged and have limited access; Stay away from downed power lines; Be aware of possible
water, gas or oil leaks and monitor radio, television, website, or social media reports for further instructions.

Manning: Bill to combat Indiana's public health disparities now law STATEHOUSE - Legislation establishing a state health improvement plan and a $50 million grant program targeting Hoosiers' most critical health challenges is now law, according to State Rep. Ethan Manning (R-Logansport). Under the new law supported by Manning, the Indiana Department of Health and the Family and Social Services Administration will prepare a plan on how to best improve the physical and behavioral health of Hoosiers. Manning said
Ethan Manning
the grant program will help improve Indiana's declining public health by allocating $50 million over two years to initiatives addressing health disparities. "The COVID19 pandemic was certainly a wake-up call for many Hoosiers as this virus has more adverse effects for those
with underlying health conditions," Manning said. "Our state continues to lag behind others in key health metrics, and this program aims to address Indiana's health challenges and encourage more Hoosiers to live a healthier lifestyle." Manning said the grant program will give preference to proposals focused on improving chronic health problems such as diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular diseases. Grants can be used for both new and exist-
ing programs and initiatives. The grant program will be modeled after Indiana's successful Safety PIN program, which helped lower the state's infant mortality rate by providing funding to local health organizations. After the Safety PIN program was implemented, Indiana reached a record-low infant mortality rate last year for the first time in our state's history. House Enrolled Act 1007 will take effect July 1.

THE PAPER
King of Spring is here!
I waited - impatiently - for this time of year because I L-OV-E asparagus freshpicked! Fresh, locallysourced asparagus is always amazing, but in more ways for us than just food or decoration. Cultivated and harvested from the wild for thousands of years, asparagus sports an extremely long history, which is likely due to its tremendous abilities as both a food and a medicine. Dioscorides, a first century Greek physician, recommended extracts of asparagus root for treatment of urinary and kidney problems, jaundice and sciatica. What’s interesting is that today, asparagus is still touted as the same, specifically as a strong diuretic, which is helpful in the treatment of urinary problems such as cystitis. Asparagus is also useful in the treatment of rheumatic conditions because it is able to flush out the waste products that accumulate. A rich source of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that is known to boost the immune system, asparagus can help reduce inflammation and maintain the health of the liver. Known to contain more nutrients in greater quantities than any other vegetable in existence, asparagus is the most nutritionally balanced vegetable you can eat! In addition to this, asparagus is low calorie -only 4 calories a spear – and has no fat or cholesterol. It is also low in sodium and a good source of fiber too, so when you think about it, the fact that it tastes amazing is just another perk to this palate-pleasing treat!
When choosing asparagus, fresh is always best. Don't buy – or pick – until the day you plan to use it. Look for tightly closed, dry tips that have straight and firm stalks. Avoid wrinkled or rubbery ones. Always be sure to rinse your asparagus well. I take mine and place them all into a sink full of tepid water and soak to dislodge sand or debris caught in the crowns and clinging to stems. Rinse well, snap woody ends off or uses a potato peeler to remove skin a couple inches up the stalk. It will make a once tough stem tenderer. Asparagus can be prepared anyway you like: boil, steam, sauté, roast or grill. However, one rule needs to be followed: keep cooking times to a minimum as overcooking ruins its delicate flavor, texture and most importantly, nutrition. Here now are some awesome ways to indulge in the benefits this vivid vegetable has to offer - Enjoy. Sources: The Encyclopedia of Medicinal Plants.

(2002) Regal Lobster Asparagus Risotto Prep time: 15 minutes; Cook time: 1 hour; Total time: 1 hour, 15 minutes; Yield: 6 servings. STOCK 1-2 pounds of raw lobster in shell (whole or tails) 1 sweet onion, peeled and quartered 1 carrot, chopped (optional)
May 19, 2021
2 stalks celery, chopped (optional) 2 bay leaves 3 peppercorns 9 cups water* RISOTTO 1/4 cup butter 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 2 medium onions, finely chopped 1 teaspoon unrefined sea salt 2 cups short-grain rice(arborio, carnaroli, sushi) 1/2 cup dry white wine or brandy* 2 pounds of fresh asparagus, trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, divided use Freshly ground black pepper To make stock: Remove lobster meat from its shell. Rinse well, drain. Cut meat into bite-sized pieces then place, raw, in the refrigerator. Rinse shells well then place in a 4-quart saucepan. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and sliced onions and cook over medium-high heat until onion begins to become translucent, about seven minutes. Add carrot, and celery (if using), bay and peppercorns, then water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer then slightly cover pan, and simmer for 30 minutes then, keeping stock pot at a simmer, start making risotto. To make risotto: In a deep, heavy skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add finely chopped onions and cook until translucent, about seven minutes. Add salt and Arborio rice, stirring to combine. Cook, stirring until rice has taken on a pale, golden color. Pour in wine, stirring constantly until the wine is absorbed. Using a 1-cup glass measuring cup and a strainer, scoop 1 cup
Offering us unique flavor and nutrition, asparagus is truly the king of spring! Photographer: Laura Kurella of hot broth from stock pot and strain into risotto pan. Cook, stirring until broth is absorbed. Continue adding four more cups of strained broth, 1 cup at a time, stirring continuously, until liquid is almost completely absorbed. After adding the 6th cup of broth, add the reserved raw lobster meat. Continue cooking and stirring until meat changes from opaque to white, about three minutes. Add cut up asparagus, stirring gently, and continue to cook until asparagus becomes tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add 1/4 cup (about half) of the Parmesan. Stir then season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately with remaining Parmesan. NOTE: If you don’t wish to make your own stock you may substitute 6 cups of canned lobster stock or chicken broth. If you do not wish to add wine or brandy, substitute with stock/broth. Asparagus Nikumaki Rolls Nikumaki is Japan-
ese for “meat roll,” and in this recipe you may use any meat you like, even (pork, poultry or fake) bacon. Recipe freezes well, so you can make a bunch and enjoy them all the way to New Years! 12 spears of fresh asparagus, trimmed 2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella 1/4 cup shredded asiago cheese 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese 6 slices of favorite sandwich meat or cooked bacon 6 spring or egg roll wrappers 1/2 cup flour 2 eggs, beaten 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs vegetable oil, for frying (or cooking spray for air frying) Soak asparagus in a deep bowl of salted water for five minutes then swoosh spears around to help dislodge any errant sand or dirt. Remove spears, rinsing well under clean running water, then drain well. Trim woody ends (bending the spear will cause it to snap naturally right where the woody part
meets the tender). Blanche asparagus for one minute in boiling water. Plunge into an ice bath to stop the cooking, then slice spears into 1-inch or smaller pieces and place in a bowl. Sprinkle with the seasoned rice vinegar, toss spear pieces to mix gently, then let rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, shred and measure out cheeses, combining well to blend. Prepare meat (I like chicken bacon in these), cooking and cutting if needed. (Sandwich meat can remain whole. However, cooked bacons tend to be chewy and are best if chopped or crumbled.). To make roll, place one wrapper on a flat surface and, using a pastry brush dipped in water, wet outer edge of wrapper. In center of wrapper, place 1/6 of the asparagus followed by 1/6 of the meat and 1/6 of the cheese blend. Follow package instructions to roll up: Fold bottom up, then sides in and roll into a small baton to seal. Place on a lined dish, pan or sheet
large enough to hold all rolls. Once all rolls are made place them in freezer to hold. Place flour, egg, and panko bread crumbs in three separate bowls just large enough to accommodate rolls. Dip each roll first in the flour to coat, then the egg, and finally a good roll in the panko to fully coat them. To store for later use, freeze at this point in a single layer then transfer to an airtight container in freezer. To cook: Heat vegetable oil in a deep sauce pan over medium heat to 350 degrees. Fry rolls carefully, not crowding pan, for 2 to 4 minutes, turning occasionally until the panko turns golden brown on all sides. Alternately, spray rolls with cooking spray on all sides then place in an air fryer. Cook, turning after 5 minutes, until all sides are uniformly browned and rolls are heated completely through, about 8 to10 minutes. To serve, cut rolls in half, diagonally.
