Dandelion JellyI was going through my recipes and came across this one.
I am told that dandelions are pretty nutritious and that the entire plant is edible. Just think, being that we all have these in our lawns, if we make use of them we can tell others we are into gardening!
1 Cups dandelion blossoms.1 Quart water
1 Package of powdered fruit pectin.5 ½ Cups sugar.
2 Tablespoons orange or lemon extract.4 – 6 Drops yellow food coloring.
1. In a saucepan, boil blossoms 6 minutes.2. Strain through cheesecloth, saving 3 cups liquid.3. Combine liquid and pectin and bring to a full boil.4. Add sugar and boil for one more minute.5. Remove from heat and add extract and food coloring.6. Pour into jars and seal.
Today let’s talk about quads. I received a couple complaints about them on the roads. Allow me to break this down. It is the policy of the FCPD not to chase them. This WILL NOT change. Chasing can cause serious injury to the rider, the offi-cer, or anyone that may ac-cidently come into the path. The officer will ticket should they observe a rider breaking the law. If an officer turns on their lights, please pull over for them.
Quads and snowmobiles drive by my house everyday depending on the season.
They can use the streets to get gas, access trails, or any other local destination.
With the construction on the trails, you may experi-ence heavier than usual traf-fic. Your patience is greatly appreciated.
As for the quadders, I ask that you continue to obey the rules of the road. Stop at stop signs, no speeding, etc. Please be respectful with regard to the noise. We all have to share this little corner of the planet for but a short time. Let’s try to understand and appreciate our neigh-bors point of view.
The game of golf allows us to make choices. We can choose what ball to use; does it make a difference? Yes. We can choose what clubs to use, what shot to play, whether to be aggressive or play safe. Making good choices can de-termine whether we have a good score or bad score.
We always have the op-portunity to accept or re-ject the consequences of our decisions in our memory. We all make poor decisions sometimes but if we can learn from it, that is part of what can make us better as a golfer. The danger comes when we make several poor decisions and then let it af-fect our confidence.
If you think about a part of your game you’re happy with, how did it become a strength? Likely you have a feel for what it takes to make a good shot with a particular club. Maybe you’ve had a chance to practice with that club or maybe you just have a natural feel for a shot. You’ve had some success with a par-ticular shot and have gained some confidence. You have accepted that you are good with that club.
We must watch out for the opposite side of that coin, so to speak. If we have some bad shots, make some bad scores, there is the danger that we start thinking we can’t putt, can’t hit a driver, are bad with certain shots.
Like the cartoon with the devil on one shoulder and the angel on the other shoul-der; we have to choose who
to listen to. As we golf it is too easy to get negative and when we do we know it is usually not good. The goal is to choose positive thoughts. There is always the oppor-tunity to be negative when things are not going well. Try to give each shot a fresh start and your best try. It will pay off.
Best wishes for a great golf season. Think positive and you will be rewarded. If you would like help with your golf game contact me at 570-280-5135, phone or text, or email me at [email protected]. See you next week.

Eight years ago, at a meeting at Fern Hall with one of their owners at the time, a conversation cen-tered around how to get more golfers to the golf course. A suggestion was offered that a junior golf program would attract not only junior golfers but also their families. This was the start of the junior golf pro-gram for boys and girls at Fern Hall which lasted for six years.
Thirteen years ago the LPGA- USGA Girls Golf program was started in our area using the Lakeland Golf Course in Fleetville and the Fawnwood Driving Range on Keyser Avenue. Originally for girls only, this program is now open to boys also. This program has had in excess of 100 girls (and now also boys)
each year since it started. During the 10 week clinic
we noticed there were many boys, often brothers, who were interested in learning to golf also. Another golf clinic was created at Lake-land Golf Course with the boys in mind (girls were welcome as well). It was also an opportunity to offer instruction for children as young as 5 years old (there have been some 4 year old children participating also) and create a program spe-cially for their age group.
These three programs combined now teach in ex-cess of 300 boys and girls each year. The fee is mod-est and clubs are available. Registration is now open and information is avail-able at nepajuniorgolf.wee-bly.com. Some of the ses-sions maybe become filled so if you have or know of a young person, age 5-16, who may be interested try to check into it soon.
The golf courses used currently are Skyline and the Lakeland Golf Course. There is also an advanced program for experienced juniors to play at several different courses and have on-course coaching during the season. Opportunity also exists for high school golfers to help teach the younger golfers which serves to improve the high school players skills also.
Junior golfers are the future of the game of golf. Judging by the number of girls and boys participat-ing in the clinics, the future of golf in our area looks bright.
Area golf programsTry to attract juniors
