What Bureau County United Way dollars go for …

Girl Scouts of Central Illinois We at Girl Scouts of Central Illinois are happy to partner with United Way of Bureau County to deliver the Girl Scout Leadership Experience to girls in the Bureau County area. So far, more than 4,700 area girls have experienced the potentially life-changing effects of Girl Scouting in this year alone.

Our mission is to build girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place, and United Way of Bureau County helps us do so with programs that are available to all girls regardless of race, religion, ability or economic status.

Girl Scouts of Central Illinois offers programming across six primary focus areas — financial literacy, STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), the arts, travel, health and wellness, and outdoor/environmental education — in addition to providing numerous opportunities for girls to discover their values and develop their character and leadership potential. Participants not only receive exciting, relevant curricula on topics such as making healthy choices, goal-setting and bully prevention, but are also able to participate in events at

which they meet and learn from female professionals, from judges to engineers. We are also able to help facilitate camp attendance at beautiful Camp Tapawingo, where girls experience the wonders of summer camp — including our popular equestrian program.

Thanks to United Way of Bureau County, girls from our area are able to have experiences which we adults may take for granted, but which can be life changing — especially for girls with limited opportunities. We are committed to making these opportunities available to all girls, so that all girls have access to the tools they need to grow strong, regardless of their family’s financial situation, and to meet the needs of all girls, so they can change the way they live their lives and the way they see the world and their place in it.

Call the Bureau County United Way at 815-8720821 for information on how you can lend a helping hand to those in need in Bureau County.

November is Winter Weather Preparedness Month in Illinois SPRINGFIELD — Frosty temperatures have already destroyed the blooms on many summer plants, a sure sign that winter weather isn’t far away. While it’s not yet time to start shoveling snow, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) and the National Weather Service (NWS) are encouraging people to begin preparing now for extreme cold, snow and ice.

IEMA and the NWS will highlight winter weather preparedness throughout November as part of their annual Winter Weather Preparedness campaign.

“In Illinois, it’s a question of when snow, ice and sub-zero temperatures will hit, not if they will occur,” said IEMA Director Jonathon Monken. “Getting caught unprepared may not be just inconvenient, it could be dangerous. Now’s the time to take a few minutes to put together your home and vehicle emergency supply kits and review the steps you should take to stay safe during hazardous winter weather.”

According to the NWS, there were eight deaths related to extreme cold temperatures nationwide in calendar year

2012. That number is significantly lower than the 10-year national average of 27 fatalities.

All of the 2012 cold-related fatalities occurred outdoors, including three deaths in Illinois.

Since 1995, 134 fatalities related to cold temperatures have occurred in Illinois, making it the second-leading cause of weather-related deaths in Illinois in the past 18 years.

“There are several dangerous health conditions that can occur in winter weather,” said Illinois Department of Public Health Director Dr. LaMar Hasbrouck.

“It’s important to watch for signs of being too cold or over exertion.

Hypothermia, when a person’s body temperature drops below 95 degrees Fahrenheit, can occur both outdoors and indoors and can be fatal. Frostbite, when skin becomes stiff and numb, can cause tissue damage. And watch for signs of over exertion, such as chest pain, when shoveling snow. Know the warning signs of dangerous cold weather health conditions in order to stay safe and healthy during the winter.”

To help Illinois residents prepare for winter, IEMA, the NWS and the American Red Cross

developed a winter weather preparedness guide that covers winter weather terms and tips for staying safe at home, in the car and at school. The guide is available on the Ready Illinois website at www.Ready.Illinois.gov or by calling 217-785-9925.

“Preparing well in advance of winter weather is really the best way to cope when snow, ice and cold temperatures affect us,” said Chris Miller, Warning Coordination Meteorologist with the NWS office in Lincoln.

“Now is the time to prepare your vehicle and house for winter conditions. Make sure you have blankets, non-perishable food, boots, extra clothing and other items in your car to ride out the storm in case you are stranded or waiting for a tow.

At home, make sure you have enough essential items to ride out a storm, in some cases without power, for three days at the very least.”

For more information about winter weather preparedness, including the Weathering Winter guide from the Illinois Department of Public Health, visit the Ready Illinois website at www.

Ready.Illinois.gov.

Nora Schneider and Ardyn Johnson make gingerbread houses at a previous Christkindl Markt

Christkindl Markt planned for Saturday PRINCETON — The fifth annual Christkindl Markt (German Christmas Market) will run from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Saturday at Open Prairie United Church of Christ, 25 E. Marion St. (behind the Apollo Theater). It has become a popular feature of the Princeton Main Street Christmas Walk.

The Christkindl Markt offers unique handcrafted gifts, traditional German treats and an international cookie bazaar with a wide selection of cookies inspired by countries around the world. Children are invited to decorate and take home their very own gingerbread house, the market’s free children’s activity. All donations to the “Gingerbread House” project will go to the local Buddy Bags program.

At the market entrance, coffee, hot chocolate and hot mulled cider, along with German stollen, lebkuchen, strudel and pretzels, will be served all day. As in previous years, Father Christmas will be on hand to greet visitors.

Locally-created repurposed items, ceramics and other original artwork are among the offerings at this year’s market. There will also

be fair trade coffees, chocolates and olive oil, as well as frozen homemade entrees (breakfast casseroles, lasagnas), helpful to have for the holidays. The Princeton High School German Club will once again be selling German Advent calendars.

From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., the market will once again offer a German Brathaus lunch, featuring brats, franks, sauerkraut, cabbage rolls and homemade potato soup.

Admission to the Christkindl Markt is free. The Open Prairie building is completely accessible. For more information, call Open Prairie UCC at 815-8725150.

Homemade holidays

Eight steps to perfect holiday cookies (BPT) — The time-honored popularity of holiday cookie baking remains strong even in today’s grab-and-go society.

“Most of us are looking for ways to simplify the holiday hubbub, and focus on activities that truly have meaning for our families,” says Ginny Bean, publisher of Ginny’s catalog and Ginnys. com. Bean, who fondly recalls baking holiday cookies with her mother and her three sons, offers the following easy tips for your own holiday cookie baking tradition.

• Get organized. Read the recipe thoroughly.

Gather your ingredients before even turning on the stove to make sure that you haven’t forgotten anything that would require an unanticipated trip to the store.

• Keep it simple. Bean recommends starting with this good, basic dough recipe and adding different ingredients to customize the taste and texture to personal preferences: Cream 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar until fluffy.

Add 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla and beat

until well mixed.

In separate bowl, whisk 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda together, then add slowly to creamed mixture, beating until combined.

“There’s almost no end to what you can do to this dough,” says Bean. “Get creative and experiment with different mix-ins like lemon peel, pumpkin pie spice, even instant coffee, or substitute toffee or peppermint chips for traditional chocolate and butterscotch.”

• Use the right fat.

Some cookie recipes only achieve their best flavor and texture with butter.

Hopefully, those recipes will specify “butter only; no substitutes.” Recipes calling for butter or margarine will produce good results with either, as long as you use a margarine that contains at least 80 percent vegetable oil.

Check the nutrition label. The margarine should have 100 calories per tablespoon. Margarines with less than 80 percent vegetable oil have high water content and can result in tough cookies that spread excessively, stick to the pan, or don’t brown well.

• Measure accurately.

Metal or plastic measuring cups are intended for dry ingredients such as flour and sugar. When measuring flour, stir it in the canister to lighten it and then gently spoon into a dry measuring cup and level the top with the straight edge of a knife.

Glass or plastic cups with spouts are meant only for liquids. If you use a liquid measuring cup for flour, you’re likely to get an extra tablespoon or more of flour per cup, enough to make cookies dry.

• Chill dough properly.

The chilling time given in a recipe is the optimum time for easy rolling and shaping. If you need to speed up chilling, wrap the dough and place it in the freezer. Twenty minutes of chilling in the freezer is equal to about one hour in the refrigerator.

• Use a powerful mixer.

An electric stand mixer is the best way to mix heavy cookie dough. With a handheld mixer, you’ll probably end up needing to stir in flour by hand, which can be a nightmare.

• Choose the right cookie sheets. Look for shiny, heavy-gauge cookie

sheets with very low or no sides. Dark cookie sheets can cause cookie bottoms to overbrown, and cookies won’t bake evenly in a pan with an edge.

Insulated cookie sheets tend to yield pale cookies with soft centers. If you use them, don’t bake cookies long enough to brown on the bottom because the rest of the cookie may get too dry.

Nonstick cookie sheets let you skip the greasing step. But the dough may not spread as much, resulting in thicker, less crisp cookies. Unless specified otherwise, a light greasing with shortening or quick spray with nonstick spray coating is adequate for most recipes.

• Know your oven.

Experiment with the temperature of your oven. If your oven typically cooks items faster than the recipe calls for, adjust accordingly. Don’t bake cookies for too long. They should be light brown around the edges and look a little underdone when they come out. Keep in mind that cookies will continue to cook from the heat of the cookie sheet after you remove them from the oven.

Cool the cookies on the cookie sheet initially and then transfer them to a wire rack once they can be lifted with a spatula without breaking them.

Once they are cooled completely, you can decorate them or store direct-

ly in an airtight container.
