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 Les-son™ (WLSL) staff is hard at it tabu-lating the results for the organization’s seventh attempt at setting a new Guin-ness 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 les-sons. 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 ev-erything 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 vol-unteers 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 fa-cility’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 Les-son program,” said ACL General Manager Shaun Nordlie. “This is go-ing on all over the world, so it’s pretty exciting for us; hopefully we’ll get a huge turnout and it will become an an-nual 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 coun-tries 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 vaca-tioning at Apple Canyon Lake (ACL) and decided to participate in the proj-ect.

“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 proj-ect 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. Congratu-lations to everyone who took the time to make the Apple Canyon Lake sum-mer 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.worldslargestswim-minglesson.org/

Friends and neighbors lend a helping handClose to 200 area residents turned out Saturday for benefit for the Tony and Sherry Hallerman fam-ily at the Jo Daviess County Fair Grounds in Warren. Hallerman is diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia, a rare but aggressive degenerative brain disease, which in time will shut down the front half of the brain which controls body functions such as the muscles. Donations are needed and can be made to Hallerman Medical Benefit c/o Apple River State Bank, Warren IL 61087 or at www.hallermanbenefit.com. All proceeds to benefit the Hallerman family.

Jo Daviess County State’s At-torney, John D. Hay would like to inform the public of the following information. On June 23, 2016, Crystal L. McLaughlin of Phelan, California, pled guilty to the charge of Resisting a Peace Officer (Class 4 Felony) and Unlawful Possession of a Stolen Vehicle (Class 2 Felony) as part of a plea agreement.

As a result of this plea agreement, Ms. McLaughlin was sentenced by Judge William Kelly to 3 years in

the Illinois Department of Correc-tions on the Resisting a Peace Offi-cer charge and 5 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections on the Unlawful Possession of a Stolen Ve-hicle charge. These charges shall be followed by two (2) years of Man-datory Supervised Release. The DOC terms shall be served concur-rently. All remaining charges were dismissed under the plea agreement. Multiple law enforcement agencies within the County of Jo Daviess and State of Illinois assisted with the ap-prehension of Ms. McLaughlin as well as the subsequent investigation of this case.

Jo Daviess County USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) County Ex-ecutive Director (CED) Cory C. Cassens announced that producers who file accurate and timely reports for all crops and land uses, includ-ing failed acreage can prevent the potential loss of FSA program ben-efits. Please pay close attention to the acreage reporting dates below for 2016.

“In order to comply with FSA program eligibility requirements, all producers are encouraged to visit the Jo Daviess County FSA office to file an accurate crop certification report by the applicable deadline,” said CED Cassens.

The following 2016 crop and land use acreage reporting dates are ap-

plicable for Jo Daviess County:Dec. 15, 2015: Fall-Seeded small

grains, Perennial ForageJan. 15, 2016: Apples, Asparagus,

Blueberries, Cane berries, Cherries, Grapes, Nectarines, Peaches, Pears, Plums, Strawberries

July 15, 2016: All Other Crops including Conservation Reserve Program Acreage

The following exceptions apply to the above acreage reporting dates:

If the crop has not been planted by the above acreage reporting date, then the acreage must be reported no later than 15 calendar days after planting is completed.

If a producer acquires additional acreage after the above acreage re-porting date, then the acreage must

be reported no later than 30 calen-dars days after purchase or acquir-ing the lease. Appropriate docu-mentation must be provided to the county office.

If a perennial forage crop is re-ported with the intended use of “cover only,” “green manure,” “left standing,” or “seed” then the acre-age must be reported by July 15th.

According to CED Cassens, Non-insured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) policy holders should note that the acreage report-ing date for NAP covered crops is the earlier of the dates listed above or 15 calendar days before grazing or harvesting of the crop begins.

Crop reports filed after the posted reporting deadlines will be imposed a Late Filing fee equivalent to $31 per farm.

For questions regarding crop certification and crop loss reports, please contact the Jo Daviess Coun-ty FSA office at 815-858-3418, ex-tension 2.

More than one million women now operate American farms, as a growing number of women inherit, start or take charge of working farms every day. In the Midwest, women now own or co-own an estimated one-fourth to one-half of all the farmland.

To reach the growing number of women landowners interested in farm-ing practices that benefit the health of their land, American Farmland Trust and Stephenson County Soil & Water Conservation District are hosting a free conservation discussion and field tour for women farmland owners on August 2 at the Famous Fossil Vine-yard and Winery (395 W. Cedarville Rd., Freeport, IL 61032).

The Women Caring for the LandSM meeting will bring together landown-ers in an informal learning format for a women-only morning discussion fol-lowed by lunch and a bus tour to view on-farm practices that promote healthy soil. Female conservation profession-als will be on hand to answer questions and share resources. The key topic of discussion will be soil health, govern-ment cost-share programs and talking with farm tenants about management practices.

“Women farmland owners and op-erators may not be aware of all the programs and resources available to them,” says Jennifer Filipiak, asso-ciate Midwest director of American Farmland Trust. “Our goal is to con-nect the growing number of women landowners with each other and with

the resource professionals who can help them with their stewardship goals.”

The meeting is presented in partner-ship with the Stephenson County Soil & Water Conservation District and the Women Food and Agriculture Net-work—who pioneered the program in Iowa. Funding comes from a Con-servation Innovation Grant from the USDA’s Natural Resources Conserva-tion Service.

“These meetings have been well-re-ceived in other parts of Illinois,” says Lorna Chezem, Administrative Coor-dinator for Stephenson County Soil & Water Conservation District. “We’re delighted to include Famous Fos-sil Vineyard and Winery and Windy Groves, Inc. in our tour to highlight their sustainability practices.”

On August 2, coffee and registration will begin at 8:30 a.m. and the meeting will begin at 9. Lunch is provided at no cost to participants, and the program will end at 3 p.m.

Interested women landowners and operators can RSVP by 4:00 p.m. July 27 to the Stephenson County SWCD by emailing lorna.chezem@stephen-sonSWCD.org or calling 815/235-2161, extension 3. If you need ac-commodations, please notify us when you RSVP. Feel free to bring a friend or family member — just let us know when you RSVP!

Information compiled by Tony CartonEDITOR

From the days when Thomas Jef-ferson envisioned the new repub-lic as a nation dependent on citi-zen farmers for its stability and its freedom, the family farm has been a vital image in the American con-sciousness. As the main structures of farms, barns evoke a sense of tradi-tion 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 commu-nity 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 of-ten community landmarks and make the past present. Such buildings em-body ethnic traditions and local cus-toms; they reflect changing farming practices and advances in building technology. In the imagination they represent a whole way of life.

Jo Daviess and Stephenson Coun-ties in NW Illinois have a number of these vanishing structures and over the next few weeks The Scoop To-day and Shopper’s Guide will be visiting them.

TRACY SIEGNER PHOTOS The Scoop Today/Shopper’s Guide

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.

An aging structure such as the one shown here is still utilitar-ian as a machine shed and pos-sibly for hay storage. The sliding doors which may have once of-fered protection from the ele-ments are frozen in time.

The glazed brick and metal roofing used in constructing this barn will virtually guarantee the structure will serve

its owners for generations.

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

June 20-24As lawmakers continue to try and

negotiate a balanced budget before the fiscal year ends June 30, more than 40 Illinois mayors publicly un-derscored 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 Trans-portation (IDOT) will no longer have authority to spend money re-lated to the state’s capital construc-tion plan, including highway, rail, transit and airport improvements. Additionally, IDOT will no longer have the authority to distribute lo-

cal governments’ share of the Mo-tor Fuel Tax, which officials say will be a huge hit to the counties, cities and townships that rely heav-ily on these funds to pay for local projects.

Local government, transportation officials stress importance of stop-gap budget

More than 40 mayors and vil-lage 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 gov-ernment operations can continue.

Bipartisan, bicameral budget ne-gotiations continue between law-

makers, legislative staff and the Governor’s office, as state leaders try to negotiate, minimally, a stop-gap 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 rank-and-file legislators on the other side of the aisle to hold their lead-ers accountable, and support calls to return to Springfield to vote on budget measures.

Local government leaders stressed the need for “a plan to en-sure funding for schools and local government until a comprehensive budget resolution can be reached.” They pointed to a budget package introduced by Republican legisla-tive leaders, calling the propos-als “common-sense” and “fiscally prudent and fully-funded, contrary to the numerous unfunded, out-of-balance spending plans” that were pushed by Democrat lawmakers during the spring.

Notably, the local leaders said two of the GOP lawmakers’ pro-posals (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 addi-tional revenues or add to the state’s ever-increasing bill backlog. Ad-ditionally, the bill contains a hold-harmless provision which ensures that any school which would have lost dollars under the current fund-ing 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, in-cluding bridge repair and local gov-ernment road allocations, which are funded predominantly out of motor fuel tax funds and vehicle registra-tion fees” while also providing “ap-propriations for capital projects in mid-construction that were halted due to lack of appropriation author-ity 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 devel-opment officials echoed these con-cerns, 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 contrac-tors for the work they do for IDOT, the state’s transportation depart-ment will suspend work on all proj-ects currently in the construction and engineering phases. Addition-ally, 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, mean-ing 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 infra-structure 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 fa-cilities and veterans’ home projects that could resume.

The fiscal year ends June 30. The Senate has been scheduled to con-vene on June 29.

For the third consecutive week the House Speaker has cancelled ses-sion. 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 Spring-field. 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 stop-gap budget bills. They are simple, non-controversial solutions that would keep operations running for seniors, schools, mental health fa-cilities, 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 be-hind. “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.

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 exhaust-ed. 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. Af-ter this month, Illinois will be the first U.S. state since the Great De-pression 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 Assem-bly 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 specifi-cally the Chicago Teacher’s Pension Fund for several hundred million dollars. The House Republicans have introduced a standalone edu-cation 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 bail-out, our kids could see their school programs vanish.

The Illinois Department of Trans-portation (IDOT) says that their road projects will shut down. The state has money set-aside for construc-tion projects however IDOT cannot spend the funds without authoriza-tion from the state legislature. The other bill in our bridge package, HB 6585, would serve as a stopgap for capital projects and keep our con-struction 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-controver-sial solutions that could be voted-on today that would stop this fiscal uncertainty among our schools, uni-versities, human services, and capi-tal projects. There is only one person standing in the way of it – Speaker Michael Madigan. This week’s col-umn 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.

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 still-charming rock club.

Complications arise when the cou-ple splits up and a team of German developers scheme to turn the be-loved 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 per-formers. 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 consider-ing bringing kids to the show. Tickets are $17-$25 dollars and may be pur-chased at www.timberlakeplayhouse.org or by calling (15) 244-2035. A cash bar is open prior to and dur-ing the show. TLP is located at 8215 Black Oak Road in Mount Carroll.

The summer season at Timber Lake continues with A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Fo-rum, Titanic and Gaslight. The Magic Owl Children’s Theatre at TLP will

I am so glad I have air condition-ing. 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 re-ally looks like a work of art!

Red, White’n’ Blue Salad1 pkg. (3 oz.) berry blue gelatin2 C. boiling water, divided2½ C. cold water, divided1 C. fresh blueberries1 envelope unflavored gelatin1 C. heavy whipping cream6 T. sugar2 C. (16 oz.) sour cream1 t. vanilla extract1 pkg. (3 oz.) raspberry or straw-

berry gelatin1 C. fresh raspberries or strawber-

riesWhipped topping and additional

berries for garnishDissolve 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 unfla-vored gelatin over ½ cup cold wa-ter, 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 re-maining cold water. Add the rasp-berries. 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

lettuce instead of the Spring Mix let-tuce. 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 SaladDressing:

3 T. raspberry vinegar2 T. olive oil1 t. honey½ t. poppy seedsSalt and pepper to taste

Salad3 C. baby spinach3 C. Spring Mix lettuce2 C. fresh strawberries, quartered1 C. cucumbers, sliced in a half

moon¼ C. sliced green onionsDressing: whisk together the vin-

egar, oil, honey, and poppy seeds and season with salt and pepper.

Toss the spinach, lettuce, straw-berries, cucumbers, and green on-ions 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 rec-ipe calls for pinto beans instead of the regular pork and beans. Enjoy this tasty treat for a great picnic.

Root Beer Baked Beans4 strips bacon, diced2 C. diced onions1 green pepper, seeded and diced1 T. minced fresh garlic2 C. root beer2 cans (15 oz. each) pinto beans,

drained and rinsed1 can (10.75 oz.) tomato purée ½ C. ketchup¼ C. packed brown sugar2 T. Worcestershire sauce1 T. cider vinegar1 T. yellow mustard½ t. Tabasco sauce1 T root beer extract1 t. saltTopping:3 slices bread, buttered2 T fresh parsleyPreheat the oven to 425. Cook

the bacon in a nonstick skillet until crisp; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and discard all except 1

tablespoon drippings.Sauté onions, pepper and garlic in

the drippings over medium heat un-til soft, 5 minutes. Deglaze skillet with root beer and bring to a boil; reduce until nearly evaporated, 10 minutes. Stir in beans, tomato pu-rée, ketchup, brown sugar, Worces-tershire, 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 pars-ley 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 Mar-ket. 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 tar-ragon 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 radishesPesto:½ C. pecan pieces¼ C. fresh tarragon3 T. grated Parmesan cheese½ garlic clove¼ t. sea salt1/8 t. red pepper flakes1½ t. white wine vinegar¼ C. olive oilIn a large stockpot, bring 8 cups

of water to boil. Add the beans and cook, uncovered, 2-3 minutes or un-til 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 pe-cans, tarragon, cheese, garlic, salt and pepper flakes and pulse until chopped. Add the vinegar and pro-cess until blended. Continue pro-cessing 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-

wiches that are sold in their burger places. They were a hit and easily feed a crowd.

Maid-Rite Sandwiches2 lbs. ground beef1 chopped onion¾ C. ketchup2 T. brown sugar2 T. distilled white vinegar1 T. Worcestershire sauce2 t. yellow mustard½ t. saltHamburger bunsHeat a large skillet over medium-

high 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 sim-mer 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.

Rhubarb Crunch¾ C. oatmeal1 C. brown sugar

½ C. melted butter1 C. flour1 t. cinnamon4 C. rhubarb1 C. sugar1 C. water2 T. cornstarch 1 t. vanillaPreheat the oven to 350. Mix the

oatmeal, brown sugar, butter, flour, and cinnamon together until crum-bly. Press half the crumbs into a greased 9 inch baking pan. Cover with rhubarb.

Combine the sugar, water, corn-starch and vanilla and cook until thick and clear. Pour over the rhu-barb. Put remaining crumbs over all. Bake at 350 for 1 hour.

Someone told me there was a strawberry farm that you could pick or buy in the area. If anyone has any specifics on this farm, let me know. We are winding down June, and July is just around the corner. Summer is racing by at a record pace. We are looking for some strawberry, cherry, or raspberry recipes, so let us know how you are fixing them. We are also looking for some garden vegetable recipes. As I said earlier in the column, zucchini are every-where once they start coming in! If you have any recipes to share, you can contact us in person, by mail, or email us at From Lena’s Kitchens, Shopper’s Guide at 213 S. Center St. or email scoopshopper@rvpub-lishing.com.

Looking to the futureThe 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. A barn roof can often be seen from a distance, and for this reason must be considered a major feature

Information compiled by Tony CartonEDITOR

Pollinators are responsible for assisting over 80% of the world’s flowering plants. Without them, hu-mans and wildlife wouldn’t have much to eat or look at! Animals that assist plants in their reproduc-tion as pollinators include species of ants, bats, bees, beetles, birds, but-terflies, flies, moths, wasps, as well as other unusual animals. Wind and water also play a role in the pollina-tion of many plants.

We all know honey comes from bees. But have you ever con-nected 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 threat-ened bees, butterflies, birds, beetles and other important pollinators are. The threats come from pollution, cli-mate change, habitat destruction and use of toxic pesticides and herbicides. But maybe the biggest threat is igno-rance to how essential these creatures are to the 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. Na-tional 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, prai-rie parkland (subtropical), Ouachita mixed forest, outer coastal and Low-er 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 oc-curs, which normally signals when it’s time to plant.

Get Familiar with the Plant Traits the Pollinators Like – For ex-ample, 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 fly-ing. Birds need strong perch supports and are attracted to scarlet, orange, red or white flowers. Pollinators are different animals, so the greater va-riety of plants you grow the greater variety of pollinators you’ll attract.

Celebrate National Pollinator Week

TRACY SIEGNER PHOTOS The Scoop Today

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 pol-len 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 un-dergoes anaerobic fermentation and is preserved by the arising lactic acid. The bee bread serves as the basic protein source for the bee colony.

Bumble bees are key pollinators of crops and wildflowers across the country and are essential for a healthy environment, but are declin-ing at an alarming rate.

This Bombyliidae or bee fly generally feeds on nectar and pollen flying from flower to flower where it walks the stamen or pollen-producing reproductive organ of a bloom with its spindly legs col-lecting 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.

(Right) The early American homemaker often spent a good part of her day prepping a meal. Chores that ranged from sorting and pulverizing grains to chop-ping meats to gathering vegeta-bles were just routine and were often completed with time spare for field work.

Almost all meals were prepared indoors on a hearth. The practice afforded precious heat in cold weather and was just plain hot in the summers.

Father’s Day celebrates the contri-bution fathers and father figures make to the lives of their children. Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois salutes the many remarkable dads who are lead-ing the way for many girls. Dads who volunteer for Girl Scouts are making a difference for their daughters, but also, all the girls in her troop by introducing them to new experiences—and show-ing them they’re capable of more than they ever imagined!

Dads are awesome! We are proud to welcome them into our volunteer

family. Often, dads don’t realize they too can participate as leaders, cookie coordinators, and outdoor instructors. There are many options for volunteer-ing!

Long time Girl Scout dad, Jon Call, has been volunteering to help his daughters’ troops for ten years. Jon shared, “Bridget (his youngest daugh-ter) thinks it’s awesome that I help because it makes her feel special.” “The most rewarding aspect for me, of course, is the time I spend with my daughters.”

95% of volunteers say they make girls’ lives better at Girl Scouts (and it makes them happy)!

Troop leader, Quinton Haight, didn’t set out to be a leader. At a Girl Scout information meeting, a friend volunteered to lead a troop as long as Quinton would sign on as co-leader. Four years later, he is still leading a troop of six, including his daughter Rori, on their Girl Scout adventures.

“Girl Scouts provides a fun activ-ity we can do together,” says Quinton. “It’s about spending time together with Rori. As long as she wants to continue, I’ll be there!” Quinton’s troop is plan-ning their first camping overnight this summer. The troop is able to finance their camping experience with funds earned through the Girl Scout Cookie Program.

88% percent of Girl Scout volun-teers say their volunteer experience with us makes their life better.

Happy Father’s Day to all of our Girl Scout dads! Thank you for invest-ing in a girl’s future. We believe you are responsible for helping to cultivate the character of girls so they will go on to become confident and independent young women!

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 conve-nience 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 re-alize 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 re-search is available, new recommen-dations 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 preser-vation information on canning, and you will be able to get your dial gauge pressure canner tested for accuracy. If you have a dial gauge

pressure canner you need to have it tested once a year, to ensure gauge accuracy.

The Water Bath and Pressure Can-ning Basics workshop will be held on Tuesday, July 26 from 6 – 8:30 p.m. at The University of Illinois Ex-tension Office located at Highland Community College, Community Services Building (use parking lot B). Cost is $5 per person and regis-tration is required. Registration can be completed by calling the U of I Extension at (815) 235-4125 or on-line at https://web.extension.illinois.edu/jsw .

Highland Community College and FHN are partnering with the Stephen-son County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) and regional emer-gency medical responders, fire, and law enforcement agencies to conduct a combined crisis response train-ing exercise on Friday, July 22. The exercise will be held from 8 a.m. to noon in and around the Dorothy and RC Clock Technology Center on the HCC campus.

general public should be aware that the full-scale training exercise is tak-ing place and that multiple emergen-cy responders, public safety vehicles, mock perpetrators, and victims will be engaged in the exercise. During the exercise, both Pearl City Road entrances to the Highland campus will be closed from approximately 7:30 a.m. to noon, while the Kiwanis Drive access road to campus will re-main open.

The purpose of this live drill is to

afford first responders and HCC staff the opportunity to engage in realistic training to ensure the safety of area residents and the HCC community in the event of an actual emergency.

Over 20 area emergency response agencies and organizations are plan-ning to take part in the training ex-ercise including FHN, Stephenson County EMA; Stephenson County Sheriff’s Department, Sheriff’s Of-fice, Sheriff’s Reserve and Mounted Patrol; Freeport Police Department

and Auxiliary, Freeport Fire Depart-ment, Freeport Rural Fire Department, Freeport Rural Ambulance, and eight area volunteer fire and ambulance departments. The Northwest Illinois Chapter of the American Red Cross and the HCC Retired and Senior Vol-unteer Program will provide support. “The exercise is being designed to provide a valuable learning experi-ence for everyone participating,” said Jill Janssen, HCC vice president of administrative services, who over-

HCC, FHN, and local emergency responders to hold combined training exercise July 22

River Ridge schools announce fourth quarter honor rolls

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 pro-tect our students and campus commu-nity.”

“FHN plays a pivotal role in com-munity preparedness. Working with our community partners in the EMS, Fire, and Law Enforcement fields is an ongoing process in prepar-ing 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. Prepar-ing for the ‘what ifs’ is what emer-gency 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 assis-tant coach. The board approved the appointment of Ms. Bonnie Patter-son 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 con-tract is a three-year agreement.

The board heard a presentation from Mrs. Lisa Oellerich regarding the success of this year’s FFA pro-gram and students. This included several state award winners and or-ganizational recognition. Mrs. Oel-lerich has also been recognized as Teacher of the Month from Ander-son-Weber Toyota.

The board recognized the boys’ and girls’ track teams for their out-standing 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 recog-nized for receiving the Conference

Sportsmanship Award.Dr. Caron presented informa-

tion to the board on the process for developing a budget for the 2017 school year. He stated that the Dis-trict 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 bud-get crisis. The District will develop a budget based on local revenue and projected state and federal aid for preliminary consideration. How-ever, Dr. Caron cautioned the Board that if the State does not appropriate funding the District would need to do some strategic planning to deter-mine the effect of not receiving Gen-eral State Aid or federal grant as-sistance. 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. The district is work-ing collaboratively with several par-ents and the recreation department to have the new scoreboard installed this summer.

The board approved the reword-ing of administrative procedure 5:60 to align the language with IRS code, the prevailing wage resolution for the 2017 school year, a contract with Schoolrush for parent communica-tion, authorized the administration to seek bids for groceries, milk, bread, fuel, and propane, approved the Su-perintendent to review, accept and sign off on financial statements, and approved the District fee schedule for the 2017 school year.

A little levity to lighten your day

Two Arctic hunters on the tundra see a bear lumbering towards them. One is frantically lacing up his boots. One asks, “What are you doing? You can’t outrun a grizzly.” I don’t have to,” replies his friend, “I just have to outrun you.”

On Saturday, July 23, Main Street of Cuba City will be closed off from 7 p.m. until midnight as the City of Presidents holds its 21st Annual Hometown Dance. Music will be provided by the Sins of Seven and the Lonely Goats. In addition, there will be an auction of locally made items and a 50/50 raffle. Food will be available from the Cuba City Knights of Columbus.

The bands are sponsored by the

Dead End Bar & Grill, Hindu’s Cor-ner Bar & Grill, Doolittle’s Pub & Eatery and the Main Street Pub & Winery. The Hometown Dance is sponsored by the Cuba City Cham-ber of Commerce with proceeds go-ing toward the Main Street Flower Beautification Project.

Additional information is avail-able on the Cuba City website at www.cubacity.org or call (608) 744-2152.

Couples vie for all-expense paid wedding worth nearly $10,000

It’s no secret that Galena, Ill. is a perfect place for a destination wed-ding. And this little town that hap-pens to be a premier vacation des-tination has pulled together to offer one lucky couple a chance at a dream wedding… with a twist!

The wedding will take place in a storefront window during the annual Living Windows event on the city’s historic Main Street Sat., Dec. 10. If that’s not romantic enough, it’s also Night of the Luminaria so the city will be glistening with the twinkle of more than 5,000 candlelit luminar-ies.

To enter this contest, couples must submit a video showing why they should win this once in a lifetime prize. For the winners, everything from wedding attire to the cake to the photography and everything in between will be on the house, thanks to the Galena Downtown Business Association and local businesses.

Videos will be posted on Visit-Galena.org’s YouTube page where the public can “Like” (vote) for the

video that they think is best.Details can be found at www.

VisitGalena.org. Entries will be ac-cepted and voting will take place through July 23. On July 24, the five videos with the most “Likes” will move on to the final round. A panel of judges will choose the winner from the finalists.

Area amenities and lodging op-tions can be found at www.Visit-Galena.org or by e-mailing gale-na@visitgalen.org or calling (815) 776.9200.
