Charming New Hangout
New establishment keeps itsw vintage
BY JENNIFER WOODWORTH
SPECIAL TO MORRISON LIVING
Charming New Hangout
The Mad Irish Woman!
!at sandwich, Bob Vaughn said emphatically, is his favorite
item at his new establishment, the Donnybrook Bakery Cafe.
A unique combination of turkey, cole slaw, and Red Leicester cheese
imported from Ireland, the Mad Irish Woman has a compelling name and
a savoriness that embodies the fun and comforting ambience he and his
wife, Debby Vaughn, have intended for their customers since the Donny-
brook seed began to grow in their minds more than 4 years ago.
“It makes you wonder, makes you question what’s in it, just like I hope
the restaurant does,” Vaughn said.
In addition to the good food and delicious baked goods (try the
cromudgeon, a delectable cross between a croissant and a cake doughnut),
Donnybrook o"ers espressos, co"ees, teas, and all-natural smoothies.
!ere’s also a vintage Irish pub, inspired by Debby’s Irish ancestry,
and an Irish-#avored gift shop.
And above the cafe, and coming soon, is the Irish Moon Inn,
a bed-and-breakfast the couple are adding to their business.
As you dine among the cafe’s original antique furnishings, rescued

from the renovated building and locally restored, it is apparent that the
Morrison natives have a meticulous eye for detail.
!eir primary goal is to deliver an intimate and engaging dining experience
for every patron, so they have spent almost half a decade polishing each and
every component of their long-awaited venture.
If reviews recently posted to their Facebook page are any indication, local
diners are grateful to the Vaughns for their e"orts and attention to detail:
“My #rst visit and will be back often. Only 15 minutes east of Clinton!!
Amazing food, oozing with charm and awesome service. A real KEEPER!!”

While the group is, by name, the Friends of the Parks, it might as well be the Champions of the Trail.
!e nonpro"t Friends of the Parks, formed from an ad-hoc committee nearly 20 years ago to help the city to provide recreational opportunities for the community, has spearheaded the development of a trail system that links Morrison to Morrison-Rockwood State Park, just north of town.
“!e No. 1 desired amenity was a trail connecting the city to the state park,” said Friends board member Ann Slavin.
!e Morrison-Rockwood Recreational Trail – whch is open to runners, walkers and cyclists, as well as snowmobilers – is a two-phase project.
!e "rst segment, just less than a mile, runs from the covered bridge on Norrish Road o# Orange Street to the intersection of Crosby and Damen roads. It actually continues a quarter-mile of trail that was estab-lished when the covered bridge was built some years ago.
In 2004, Friends of the Parks sought state funds to help pay for the project. In 2008, Morrison City Council agreed to help get a grant.
!e Illinois Department of Natural Resources awarded the group more than $300,000. !e city was required to pay 20 percent of the grant; Friends of the Parks o#ered to raise that share, and did, through dona-tions and fundraisers.
“!is project really had a lot of grassroots support,” Slavin said.Construction bids came in under estimates, so the trail is paved with
asphalt, rather than rock and chip, and the trail features a 40-foot-long decorative wooden bridge over Boyer Springs, instead of a metal culvert.
!e "nal cost of the trail was $220,562, of which Friends of the Parks raised $30,868, according to a Sauk Valley Media story from June 16.
!e second segment of the trail, about another mile in length, would run from the intersection of Crosby and Damen roads to the entrance of Morrison-Rockwood State Park.
!e completed 2-mile trail would open users to a 3.5-mile nature trail within the state park, making available more than 5 miles of scenic pathway for running, walking, and cycling.
For now, though, Friends of the Parks is in no hurry.“It’s still sort of on the drawing board,” Slavin said. “We’ll just begin
to study how Phase 2 can come o# the page and be implemented. We’ll have to do some preliminary engineering and look at all funding sources.”
In addition to supporting the trail project, the nonpro"t group orga-nizes bike rides and bike rodeos, conducts bike safety checks, and has helped design and place bike racks downtown. It also has written grants that paid to replace playground equipment in city parks.
To make a donation Friends of the Parks is accepting tax-deductible donations to fund the second segment of the Morrison-Rockwood Recreational Trail to reach the entrance of the state park. Go to www.friendsoftheparksmorrison.org, or find Friends of the Parks Morrison on Facebook to volunteer or donate, or for more information. Upcoming events at Rockwood State Park Sept. 6Whiteside County Sheriff’s Department Youth Fishing Derby; children 15 and younger may participate, but do not have to catch fish to be eligible for prizes; registration starts at 8:30 a.m.; 815-772-4044 or 815-772-4708

Opened in May 2011, Midnight Cake Shop creates custom, and creative baked delights for birthdays, anniversaries, and other important events.
Owner Matthew Henthorn thoroughly loves each creation that leaves his shop. Henthorn began as a hobby baker, providing a unique perspective on each of the items he creates.
“I started out creating a birthday cake for my daughter,” he said. “I really enjoy the opportunities that having my own business has created. Everything I create is custom made to order.”
!at includes many di"erent cake #avors available for customers. For example, the shop has a margarita cake with key lime frosting and a strawberry daiquiri cake.
Other popular choices include the s’mores cake, made from graham cracker cake with chocolate ganache and toasted marshmallow frosting.
Henthorn, who describes himself as a cake snob, prides himself on creating only the best cakes.
“I went through half a dozen recipes for our red velvet cake before I found the perfect one,” he said. “Instead of cream cheese frosting, ours has an amaretto butter cream frosting. I also do a lot of cake #avors by request, including a Jameson whiskey frosting.”
!e shop also creates #owers, $gurines, and cupcakes galore. Henthorn notes a rise in popularity for birthday cakes that are more elaborate than ever. !at $ts Henthorn’s talents well, as he most enjoys hand painting and creating sculpted cakes. One example is the popularity of the handcrafted and hand-painted guitar cake, which duplicates a real guitar that travels to shows with the shop.
He has also seen an interest in glamour cakes. !ese cakes, in#uenced by high fashion, often include brooches, bling, and patterns. By hand painting

such patterns, Henthorn is able to re-create simple or elaborate patterns, even those that re-create fabric.
!e creative aspect, according to Henthorn, has also been greatly a"ected by the interest board site Pintrest.
“Pintrest gives us and the customers a view of di"erent regions and techniques popular in other parts of the nation and the world,” Henthorn explained. “We can take inspiration from anything and make something beautiful.”
!e ability to work with many di"erent people, throughout not only the community but a much larger area, has created drive for the small business to grow.
“Small business owners wear many di"erent hats,” Henthorn said. “I started out doing cakes at night while working full time, and that is where the name Midnight Cake Shop was taken from.
“Now, I work at home, and doing this has provided the opportunity to create our own schedules and eventually home school our children. I have a di"erent set of responsibilities now, and I give every customer the best that I can possibly make. I pride myself on the great reputation that we have created.” s

Tucked back in the countryside outside Morrison, a long private lane leads to a home along Lake Road.
!e home’s light stone facade and brick paver driveway create a perfect entrance to this unique home, owned by Roxanne and Jim Finneran.
Placed on a plateau and surrounded by raised "ower beds, the home, built in 1996, is also backed by Rock Creek.
!e home shares a property line with Morrison Rockwood State Park, creating a perfect atmosphere for quiet and relaxation.
“We had originally planned on building in town but we fell in love with this property,” Roxanne said. “One of the driving forces behind buying the property was the great abundance of wildlife. My husband loves to hunt, but we have also seen deer, turkey, pheasants, a bobcat, and coyotes from our windows. Most importantly, we also wanted a home that our daughters could enjoy.”
!at enjoyment has continued throughout the years, shifting from slumber parties to weddings. !e couple’s daughter Erin, 29, had her wedding at the home.
Inside the home with #ve bedrooms and six bathrooms, the family has plenty of space to enjoy.
!e great room includes a large stone #replace, built from Wisconsin #eld stone, and a knotty pine ceiling.
Playing o$ the large windows throughout the home are six skylights.
Roxanne favors the kitchen and great room.“!ese rooms are my favorite,” she said. “I
can entertain others while cooking and also watch the television. I can also enjoy the outdoors during each season, regardless of the temperature.”
!e master suite continues the use of large windows, but also includes a large walk-in shower and sunken bathtub.
Family members can also enjoy the library and exercise room, parlor, or the o%ce.
However, the favorite spot of the couple’s daughters has been the downstairs family room.
!e home has played a signi#cant part of the Finnerans’ lives, with each of their four daughters growing up in the home surrounded by their four dogs.
For their daughter Shannon, 18, the home is full of memories.
“When I was growing up, the downstairs living area was used for great slumber parties with our friends,” she said. “!ere was always a place to go to be alone, if you wanted.”
!e Finnerans have also shared the beauty of their property with local snowmobilers and the BrushPoppers Motorcycle group. !e groups use the trails behind the property for local events each year.
Surrounded by trails, the 40-acre property also includes an outbuilding, which houses a tractor, snow plow, and four wheelers. !e family uses the upper "oor of the building for storage.
!e home has always been a haven for the family to spend time together, whether indoors or out.
“When we come home, it feels like we are a million miles from everything,” Roxanne said. “Every season is beautiful, but my favorite has always been Christmas. !e lane in the fall is surrounded by colors. !e deck is perfect for cookouts and family events. It is home to be enjoyed by anyone who lives here.” s

Downtown Morrison o!ers something special for those who not only live in Morrison but also for those who visit.
"e historical charm of downtown Morrison is a great draw for out-of-town visitors, explained Corinne Bender, director of the Chamber of Commerce and a Morrison resident.
"e purpose of the Chamber is to promote the community by em-phasizing local business as well as to retaining, growing, and attract-ing new businesses. As part of this e!ort, downtown historic build-ings have already seen several renovations to preserve the original charm of these buildings and to reverse previous changes that might have damaged their historical integrity.
Preservation e!orts “provide a reason for people to come visit and shop at the stores downtown due to their uniqueness,” according to Bender, 52.
New banners were recently added to Main Street to match the buildings’ color scheme. Many of the buildings include unique awnings, facades, tin ceilings, and conical roofs. Each one also has its own special story.
"e Sukboriboon Building at 131-129 E. Main St. was built in 1865. Originally First National Bank, the building was once the site of the #rst alarm system and vault lock in the United States. It is also iconic because its three stories high.
"e building at 109 W. Main St., which currently houses Happy Joe’s Pizza, was built in 1864 as a grocery store. Its where the Masonic Lodge met in the 1880s.
Other buildings, such as the Farm Credit Services building at 125 W. Main St., have provided Morrison with many di!erent businesses
throughout the years. Built in 1862, the FCS building has been home to many businesses, including a tavern and grocery story.
Bender knows that travelers enjoy the charm of downtown.“For them, seeing it for the #rst time is special,” she said of her
experience. “Many people from out of town say our downtown is beautiful, creating an opportunity to promote tourism through word of mouth.”
"e city’s Historic Preservation Commission has applied to place downtown Morrison on the National Register of Historic Places.
Created in 1996, the commission promotes historic preservation and knowledge throughout the community. "is process requires that buildings meet certain criteria including age and signi#cance, among other factors. Because many of the buildings were built in the 1860s and 1870s, each has seen signi#cant social, economic, and personal changes.
"is distinction of the National Register would allow for restora-tion of a!ected buildings to receive government funding.
Tim Slaven said he hoped the designation would help the city to promote a prosperous atmosphere for small businesses.
“It will also help to boost the economy by tourism and continue to support the growth of downtown,” he said. “By doing this, those historic buildings will continue to be used and taken care of.”
"e distinction would also be a great tourism draw.“Downtown is a community center for residents,” Chamber direc-
tor Bender said. “It is also an opportunity for entrepreneurship to $ourish. Downtown is a re$ection of our history and why this e!ort is so important.”

Hidden within Carroll
County along Fairhaven and Creamery Road is a special little farm that owners Tom and Genevieve Nedbal like to call “the cream of the crop.”
For the past 13 years Tom, 80, and Gen-evieve, 79, have developed their own apple farm, Fairhaven Fruit Farm, and they are enjoying every moment of it.
“You have to have a reason to get up in the morning,” Tom says, “I love being around the trees. We meet nice people in
the area. It’s pleasant. It gives a sense of accomplishment.”
Gen feels all the same.“We just love being here and
taking care of them,” she said. “What are we going to do, sit here and look at each other at 80?” she joked.
!ey look forward to waking up to tend to the farm every day.
Gen and Tom like to call their farm a “pedestrian orchard,” which suggests
a more market setting.Manager Ben Metz, 29, describes it as “100 percent from the grower to the
people.” He, along with Gen and Tom, shares a certain love for apples and “could talk about them all day long.”
!e Fairhaven Farm consists of 60 acres, and for now 30 acres are being used for more than 700
apple trees with 30 di"erent kinds of apples. With their style orchard,
people come to buy apples as they ripen. Of course, there are too many to possibly
choose from, so they have a “try it before you buy it” policy, as Ben explains it.
Ripening season is a gradual process for each kind of apple, and at Fairhaven the apples can sell out after just a few months. Customer favorites are Honey Crisp, Am-brosia, Macintosh, and one of the couple’s own creations, Gen’s Best.
To go along with the many apples, they like to sell a caramel sauce and pasteurized cider brought from Wisconsin, local honey and dried cranberries. !eir plan for the future is to expand the number of trees and
maybe try to grow some new things, like blueberries, which Ben is testing now.
Tom and Gen started o" their venture without a clue on how to raise apple trees, and with their dwarf trees “It’s a lot of work,” Tom says.
With little knowledge about apple trees, where did this farm idea start? Well, After 45 years of engineering, Tom retired and decided to buy 60 acres of land. He had the soil tested and started planting di"erent fruit trees, starting o" with peach, plum and apple trees. What worked best for the soil were his dwarf apple trees.
To become more familiar with their trees, Tom and Gen found guidance by joining the Wisconsin Apple Growers Association and sought help from orchard consultant Bill Meyer. !ey also attend conventions and read journals to keep up on better ways to improve tree maintenance.
Fairhaven likes to host #eld trips for elementary students, during which the kids get a chance to pick their own apples – with careful watching, of course. Aside from the days the kids come, the only people allowed to pick apples are the workers. With dwarf trees, the root and trunk are weak and could be easily ripped out of the ground, so careful maintenance is key.
What makes this hidden treasure so special? Tom simply says it’s the apples that are special. “!ey’re fresh, and you can’t get them like this at the store.”
Gen loves the life on their quiet apple farm.
“I enjoy the fresh air,” she said. “It’s a comfortable home. We just enjoy apples!” s

Mounted patrol assists sheri! in livestock roundup,
security and search operations
Ready to Ride
For thousands of years, horses were the preferred source of propulsion for human travel. Despite their “green” technol-ogy, they fell out of favor when the internal combustion engine
came into vogue. People like to go fast, and horses, literally, couldn’t keep up.
Still, humans have not seen the end of the usefulness of our eques-trian friends. !e Whiteside County Sheri"’s Mounted Patrol is one organization whose members are happy to be saddled with an animal rather than a mechanical partner.
“!e mounted patrol was #rst formed in order to assist the Sheri"’s Department in various means, primarily livestock roundup and security,” said Tom Patten, one of the leaders of the patrol team. “!e need for actual livestock roundup has diminished, though, as livestock become more con#ned.”
Still, cows and other livestock #nd a way out of their enclosures from time to time. Besides the owners concern over the possible loss of property, it’s a safety issue, too. !ose who are familiar with the damage that can be caused to a vehicle that strikes a 200-pound deer can imagine the result of an impact with a 1,000-pound cow. !e ma-neuverability of horses over variable terrain allows the mounted patrol to be particularly e"ective in those rare cases when livestock get loose.
“!e sheri" can also count on us to assist in search operations,” Patten said. “We’re state trained and state certi#ed. We can apply techniques to search for people or evidence, ... to locate #rearms, for instance. We can help provide security for crime scenes and assist deputies in patrol work, as we did during the Nicholas Sheley investi-gation.”
!e patrol also lends a hand for security each year at the Whiteside County Fair. But that’s also an enjoyable experience for the patrol members.
Mike Bahle, a former o$cer and long-time member of the patrol, agreed with Patten that the fair is a high point for them.
“I’ve enjoyed the cattle roundups, and we do a lot of good things in the community and such,” he said. “But the thing I really like is the fair. I enjoy spending time with the people there, and it’s good PR for the sheri"’s department.”
Currently, 21 members make up the sheri"’s mounted patrol. At one time it was a requirement for a member to own a horse or be able to ride.
“We’ve relaxed that requirement a little,” Patten said. “!ere were many people who weren’t owners or riders, but were very interested in being a part of the patrol.”s
Ray Darsidan, Dave Northcutt, Dave Justice, Mike Pearson and Jared Burge are members of the Whiteside County Mounted Police. The Mounted Police patrol such events as Tampico Days and the Whiteside County Fair in Morrison.

Dream Come TrueBY CASSANDRA ZIMMERMAN

Historic downtown Morrison is home to many locally owned businesses, including Shear Envy, owned by Traci Heusinkveld.
Located at 123 W. Main St., the salon has been open for only a few weeks, but “has always been a dream,” according to Heusinkveld.
With fellow stylist Amanda Bauer, Heusinkveld has created a relaxing atmosphere while incorporating the shop with the other shops in the building, including the popular Dancer’s Hut and Uniquely Made Gifts.
Uniquely Made Gifts is a shop in which each vendor sells her own handmade goods, creating a convenient place for shoppers to get such items.
Traci and Amanda o!er salon services including cuts, colors, styling, updos and perms – and men’s hair care.
Shear Envy also has three tanning beds, with plans to add a fourth.Cinderella extensions are available for the clientele. Done by Bauer,
the extensions use keratin bonds. "ese 100 percent reusable human hair
extensions are color- and heat safe, allowing for a seamless transition between natural hair and extensions while allowing wearers to dye, straighten, and curl their hair.
After coloring or highlighting hair, Bauer suggests the use of a smoothing system. "ose systems, which are done in the salon, help to smooth frizz and make #at ironing easier. "e system also makes hair healthier by adding protein, which is important after coloring.
Traci, who has 25 years of experience, and Bauer are dedicated to creating hairstyles for their clients that mirror those available in larger cities.
Bauer is able to create the popular ombre as well as balayage highlights, a growing trend in which highlights are blended into the hair to provide depth and dimension.
Both stylists have seen interest grow in those techniques as well as braiding.
"e salon plans back-to-school specials.As a Morrison community member and business owner, Heusinkveld
is dedicated to helping downtown as well as the community thrive.“I want the whole building to succeed,” Heusinkveld said. “Customers,
whether they are regulars or new, are always welcome. "ere is work being done to create new signage for the front of the building, as well as plans for remodeling the facade of the building. "is will allow customers to know who is in the building and what services we o!er.” s

Making The Most Of Retirement
It’s always nice when life presents you with good options, regardless of which phase of life you happen to !nd yourself. "e Morrison area has some fresh options for “seasoned citizens”
and those who temporarily !nd themselves in need of physical therapy.Windsor Manor, 403 Scenic St., is a new assisted living community option for Morrisonians.
Construction is complete and its doors are just now opening to anyone who might need a helping hand now and then throughout the day.
Danielle Vance is executive director at Windsor Manor. Originally from Dixon, and a graduate of Newman Central High School, Vance holds degrees from Sauk Valley Community College, Western Illinois University, and Ashford University. She has had 15 years’ experience in long-term care.
“God blessed me with an undeniable passion for working with the elderly,” she said, “and I cherish this gift that he has given me.”
Morrison’s Windsor Manor is the eighth of its kind.HR Green, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, designs, builds, owns and operates the senior living com-
munities.“"ere are seven other locations in Iowa; we are the !rst Illinois community,” Vance said. “We
have multiple apartment options and accept long-term care insurance and veterans bene!ts, all which we can assist our residents in opening up a claim.”
Vance speaks excitedly about the organization she is connected with.“We specialize in assisted living and are able to provide lifestyle choices such as restaurant-style
dining, free transportation, a variety of community outings, and we allow our residents to have pets,” she said.
According to Vance, Windsor Manor will also !ll a unique need in Morrison.“Our safe and secured memory care community, "e Gardens, is speci!cally designed to meet
the needs of our residents with Alzheimer’s and dementia-related memory impairments,” she said. “"e Gardens is the !rst and currently only, Memory Care community in Morrison.”
Another unique service that will be o#ered, called “Respite Care,” is actually intended to meet the needs of those who aren’t residents at Windsor Manor, but for those in the Morrison commu-nity who are caring for a loved one at home, and need a time of refreshment now and then.

“We o!er respite services at $150 a day, which includes light house-keeping, laundry, restaurant-style dining, free transportation, community outings, medication management, and assistance with activities of daily living,” Vance explained. “Respite services are ideal for when a caregiver needs a break or is going on vacation. We can also be a liaison between hospital and home.”
Another local option is the newly built Resthave Nursing and Retire-ment Center, 408 Maple Ave. "ough Resthave has had a long history in Morrison, it, too, o!ers a completely new facility for residents. Full completion is on schedule for 2015.
Resthave began serving Morrison in 1961 as a combined e!ort of all local churches to meet the need for care. Some of the start-up funds were
provided by selling hay. "e Board of Resthave still comprises members of the churches – people who have their #nger on the pulse of the com-munity.
Tami Tegeler, executive director, and Kristi Christiansen, nursing home administrator, lead the sta! and programs at Resthave. Both agree that its faith-based foundation is among its greatest strengths, and both share excitement for the building projects that are underway.
“Last year we opened the Assisted Living Support Services building with 20 units,” Tegeler said. “"is is for those with abilities ranging from being independent to other levels of support, and that support is pro-vided depending on the need from individual to individual.”
Christiansen added: “We’re currently building the new nursing build-ing for those who need more extensive care, rehab, or skilled care, or for

hold 70 beds.“It will have a large interior courtyard with benches and "ower beds
that will allow for outdoor entertainment and services, and a safe area for those who want to go outside,” Tegeler said.
!e last phase of construction will renovate the existing building to provide 17 more assisted living rooms, as well as a chapel, which will be completed next summer, Tegeler said.

Practical & PeacefulRu!ed leaves of purple cabbage
stretch wide to catch the sun while lilies form fountains of colorful
"owers and herbs perfume the air.Morrison Community Garden is both prac-
tical and peaceful, nourishing the body, the mind and the community.
Just inside the entrance to French Creek Park, lush garden plots brim with all things bountiful and beautiful. Started in 2010 as collaboration between the Morrison Com-munity Hospital Foundation and the city as a way to promote healthy eating, the garden has grown in popularity over the years to 44 plots.
Tending her plot on a warm summer morn-
ing was Nancy Anderson, who was one of the charter gardeners. She grows vegetables and "owers and maintains the landscaping around the park and garden entrance signs. She, like other gardeners, shares her bounty by taking produce to the local food pantry and "owers to people in the hospital and nursing homes. She also has a special project this year.
“#at’s popcorn,” she said, pointing to the knee-high plants. “It’s for a friend who moved to California who says she can’t get good pop-corn there. I’m growing it to send to her.”
Garden plots are available to individuals, families, schools and businesses for $25 a season. For that, gardeners receive a rototilled 10-by-20-foot plot, two bales of straw, access to water, and tips on gardening. #e use of organic fertilizers and weed inhibitors are
encouraged, and the use of harsh chemicals discouraged.
“#e fee goes entirely toward maintenance of the garden,” said Mick Welding, marketing director at Morrison Community Hospital, who is quick to share praise with those who have helped make the garden a success.
“We have a farmer who donates the straw,” he reported. “Hospital maintenance work-ers rototill each year. Boy Scouts help in the spring with mulching and straw. We have individuals, churches and businesses actively involved and ready to help when needed.”
A well-equipped gardening shed with tools, tomato cages and a rototiller provide every-thing gardeners need – except someone to pull weeds. #ere are even compost bins for weeds and other organic materials.
Morrison Community Garden has plots availableBY LUCINDA HALL
SPECIAL TO MORRISON LIVING

of the plots in the community garden in Morrison.
m o r r i s o n l i v i n g m a g a z i n e 27
Last year, several perennial plots were add-ed to allow the planting of strawberries and raspberries as well as perennial !owers. New this year are 12 fruit trees – apple, pear, peach and cherry. Although the trees are still young, once they’re mature, the fruit will be available to anyone in the community for picking.
Pastor Mike Selburg is one of the enthu-siastic gardeners. Pastor at First Presbyterian Church in Morrison, he became involved as a way to provide fresh produce at the food pantry and for church dinners.
“He makes a mean vegetarian chili,” Weld-ing said with a smile. “He represents what the garden is all about – growing and sharing healthy food.”
Lettuce and other vegetables also make their way to the hospital cafeteria on Fridays, when seniors typically gather for lunch.
Other imaginative gardeners include Alicia Cozzie and her husband, owners of the Co-Z Corner Convenience Store just south of the
garden on Tech Drive.“We call it the pizza garden,” she said, “and
plan on using the produce and herbs to make fresh pizzas at our store,”
Home-grown pizza toppings include Roma tomatoes, onions, basil and oregano, as well as green, jalapeno and banana peppers.
She shared a story of her husband planting the garden when two young neighborhood girls asked what he was doing.
“He said ‘I’m planting a pizza garden.’ "e girls replied they didn’t know you could grow pizza,” Cozzie said with a laugh. “"e garden is a way that we can share local, fresh and organic produce with our customers.”
Gardeners are careful that nothing goes to waste and encourage people in the commu-nity to share the bounty. Produce, herbs and !owers are available just by stopping by.
Welding was quick to mention Ed Pawlicki as one of the garden’s #nest stewards. Pawl-icki not only volunteers to help oversee the
garden project, but he shares his food with the homeless shelters and food pantry.
“Ed is a #ne, #ne gardener and our best example of ‘paying it forward,’” Welding said. “We are grateful for the role he has taken to make the garden successful.”
"e plots rentals are available each Feb-ruary through the Morrison Community Hospital Foundation. All that is required is a registration form and $25 fee. s
