Hi there! Glad you’re back for some . . .

Inside -

in Gibson County

Well hasn’t it just been a busy month? We’ve had the 4th of July holiday, the fair, vacations and now everyone’s getting ready for back to school. Check out the events pages and festival ads to see What’s Happening.

If you couldn’t make it to the County Fair, there are plenty of pictures inside. The 4-H kids did a great job and there were plenty of events between the raindrops.

This month we’ve got a unique story for you that goes back in time - to the days of radio. Our cover story is in Country Connections and describes the beauty of a special flower patch.

It’s time to take a break and take a peak at what’s been going on with your friends and neighbors. Stay kind and support local.

During early summer while traveling on Highway 64 east from Francisco towards Oakland, off to the left a sign may catch your eye saying Daylilies. Just a tad down that country road before the tracks is a gravel road leading to a remote sanctuary of flowers.

Barb Krieg of Francisco has been selling daylilies for 11 years off of her 6.25 acres of beauty.

However, her love of flowers started much earlier. When she was young, Barb helped her

mother who had many flowers and decorative rocks. By the time she was around 20 years old, she continued the hobby she loved on her own.

Loving flowers and creating an oasis of color are a bit different.

This project started when her friend Jana brought some clumps of daylilies as a present for Barb’s husband. These The clumps were planted and then goddess Hebe divided into 300 bulbs. Each summer, they multiply and then get divided into more.

Now Barb has over 3,000 lilies of almost 300 varieties.

There are many colors, shades and combinations of colors, as well as some are rebloomers, some are early or late bloomers, while others have double or triple blooms.

Some have a fragrance, but others don’t. Some are tall and lean, while others are

short and compact. The combinations and varieties go on and on.

Barb says she really likes daylilies because they are a very hearty plant. She doesn’t water them, spray for bugs or fertilize the plants. The bulbs are separated in the early summer and planted for next year. One mistake that Barb learned from was to keep a reserve bed. She’d sold too many one year and didn’t have enough saved to come back for the next year. Last year she sold 600 clumps of daylillies and by halfway through the blooming season this year, she’d already sold over 300. Barb says, “I feel very blessed to have made so many friends and its very special to have regulars return each year to visit me.”

What makes this an experience and destination is the creativity and attention to detail. It’s not grabbing a pile of bulbs from a produce stand. Yes, there are rows of lilies in a field, but there is a hosta garden in the shade nestled by a variety of trees. There are wooden arrangements throughout the gardens and other unusual decor. Barb has a statue of Hebes, the Greek goddess of youth overlooking flowers, decorated bird baths, an antique bicycle, rocking horses and statues of gnomes and fairies. Last year, with the help of her son, Jack and grandson, Chase McKinney, a koi pond was added.

Their two fish had 50 babies.

Even though daylilies are hardy, easy to care for plants, keeping the garden and grounds in order is not an easy task. Weeds are still alive and well everywhere.

Also, at the end of the season, many of the plants, like Barb’s elephant ears must be cropped and put indoors to overwinter.

There’s also

Decorations of rabbits, garden gnomes and fairies are found throughout.

the matter of bringing in all of the yard decor to keep it safe from the elements. With the help of her family, Barb hopes to see everyone next year when the blooms start popping in her daylily field.

Gardening Goodies

String of Dolphins (SOD) - Senecio Peregrinus

This interesting, very unique succulent is definitely an attention getter. The leaves resemble jumping dolphins.

The String Of Dolphins is characterized by their dolphin shaped leaves and long hanging tendrils. Their little blooms are not that impressive, but it works really well in a hanging basket.

SOD commonly grown indoors as a houseplant. They can also be grown outside during summer months, but keep them out of direct bright sun. However, bring them indoors before the temps go below 50 degrees.

The SOD are generally considered to be low maintenance succulents. Their plump leaves retain water which makes them drought tolerant and they don’t require any special care or maintenance.

Light-This is not a low light plant, so providing it with enough sunlight is vital for healthy growth. Place your plant in a bright, sunny window and ignore it most of the time and it will do nicely. Although it can easily get sunburned if placed in direct sun when grown outdoors.

It does best when it receives at least six hours of sun a day.

Soil-As with most succulents, a SOD requires a loose, well draining soil. Use a good cactus/succulent soil or you make your own. Simply combine two parts

Staff report

potting soil, one part perlite, and one part sand. Mix all together well and use to repot your SOD and/or any other succulents.

Water-SOD leaves can retain water for a long period of time, they are considered drought tolerant and do not require regular watering.

Allow the soil to dry out thoroughly between waterings to avoid root rot. Cut back on watering during the fall and winter months when SODs go into dormancy.

Temperatures & Humidity-SODs grow well in average household temperatures and humidity levels.

Interestingly, while these plants are not frost tolerant, they prefer cooler temperatures than the average succulent. SODs don’t like to be near cold drafts or a heat source. This can cause them to drop leaves or die.

Fertilizer-SODs do not require regular fertilizing. In fact, over-fertilizing SODs can cause the leaves to lose their unique dolphin shape. However, it benefits from a light feeding (1/2 the recommended strength) in the early spring to help boost growth and encourage blooming.

Repotting-They do not need to be repotted regularly. Once roots are coming out of the drainage holes you know it’s time to repot. Chose a pot that’s about 1” bigger around. Place about 1/2 of drainage material in the bottom. Put about an 1” of soil next. Set it in its new pot and fill in all around the sides with soil and place a little soil on top.

Propagating-SOD can be easily propagated from stem cuttings. Snip 2 or 3, 2”-3” cuts and lay on a pot of soil making sure that where the ‘dolphins’ are attached to the stem, are touching the soil. You might want to weigh them down slightly by placing small pebbles on either side of the ‘dolphins’. The roots will form where the ‘dolphins’ are connected to the stem. Water and place in a bright sunny spot. In about 3-4 weeks or so you should see small hair-like roots coming out of those ‘connections’. Once several roots have grown into the soil, you can either leave all of these cuttings in this pot OR you can gently lift and place in other pots of soil.

ARC Direct Service Professionals Recognized Photos: Jancey Smith

On Friday, July 16th, Hannah Carlock from the ARC of Indiana, in Indianapolis, presented our local ARC of Southwest Indiana a copy of Resolution 46. This piece of legislation recognized all of the Direct Service Professionals for their work during the COVID 19 pandemic. During this time, due to health risk factors, clients were not able to leave or have visitors and these workers were constantly on hand to ensure the health and safety of Hoosiers with disabilities. They were granted a 14% pay increase to $15 an hour for their efforts.

The Lone Ranger Close to Home

For some of the younger readers, this may be a bit of a modern day history lesson.

When you hear the name “Lone Ranger”, what pops to mind? Some might think of the 2013 movie with Armie A picture of the radio cast.

Hammer and Johnny Depp . . . or others could flash back to comic books or cartoons. However, the real Lone Ranger goes all the way back to a 1930’s radio series.

The very basic premise of the story is that the Lone Ranger was once a Texas ranger who’d survived an ambush. He then returned as a masked rider who fought bad guys in the Old West. His Native American sidekick was named Tonto and he rode a white stallion named Silver. The main catch phrase was “Hi Yo Silver. Away!”

In 1933, at Detroit radio station WXYZ, the program first aired. The series lasted until September, 1954, and for 13 of those years, Brace Beemer of Mt. Carmel, Illinois, was THE voice of the Lone Ranger. During that time, the radio show was very popular and had millions of listeners, extending into other countries.

Across the river in Mt. Carmel, they did not forget Brace Beemer’s role as the Lone Ranger. The Wabash Museum has a room in the bottom floor dedicated to the “original radio” Lone Ranger.

Later the radio stories of the Lone Ranger transitioned into television, airing from 1949 to 1957, with Clayton Moore primarily playing the leading role.

This masked hero and his adventures went on to sell hardback books, comics and numerous memorabilia.

There are Lone Ranger fan clubs and festivals. On cable stations, in the early morning hours, reruns can still be watched.

Story and photos: Jancey Smith

That is how 10year-old Tucker Thompson of Princeton, became such a fan. Being an early riser, a few years ago, Tucker would get up around 6 a.m. to watch segments of the Lone Ranger on television. The more he watched the series the more he became intrigued with the masked man who Brace Beemer and the Lone Ranger’s “fought for what was replicas. right and just.”

When his great aunt Diane learned of Tucker’s fascination with the masked rider, she contacted another enthusiast, Everette, from Flint, Michigan, who she’d met years back at a Lone Ranger event. She was hoping to further spark his interest. Tucker and Everette became pen pals, writing back and forth about their shared hobby. They finally got to meet September 12, 2020, at the grand opening of the Lone Ranger exhibit in Mt. Carmel, Illinois, at the Wabash County Museum. Since then, they have been “best buds,’ as Tucker says.

A few years ago, when Tucker was in 2nd grade, a school project was to be a part Everette, Tucker and Diane in front of the radio station door.

of a living museum (a report on a living person). Tucker wanted to do his project on the Lone Ranger. However, since it is reported to be a fictional character, he couldn’t. However, his teacher said that he could in fact do Clayton Moore, who was a real person that played the Lone Ranger on TV. Tucker’s mom made a video of Tucker’s report and posted it to the Lone Ranger’s Fan Club page. That’s where Dawn Moore (Clayton’s daughter) first saw Tucker.

Not long ago, Dawn auctioned off one of Clayton Moore’s silver bullets at a celebrity charity event. As it happened, Everette won the bid on the silver bullet. After discussing it with Dawn, they agreed that it would be most fitting for Tucker, the next generation of fans, to be the one put in its forever home in the Wabash Museum.

Another original sliver bullet is currently in the Smithsonian Institute.

On Wednesday, July 7th, Everette traveled from Michigan, to watch Tucker present the bullet to the museum. There were many pictures taken of not only Tucker and his sidekick Tonto in costume, but also of the items in the Lone Tucker places the bullet in its display.

Tucker will be going into fifth grade and likes to read, play chess and has a special interest in playing with Army men. It’s something about that quest for justice and doing what’s right, just like the Lone Ranger. While his interests will change as he grows older, these experiences and friendships will always be with him, just like Hi Yo Silver, Away!

Picturing the Past

Story and photos: Mayor Greg Wright

The Harrison School

Princeton and Evansville. Clifford Shopbell was an 1898 graduate of Princeton High School and his father George Shopbell was a local contractor who was also involved in building several local landmark structures. Listed on The cornerstone at 805 N. Main, Princeton. the stone is the name Samuel F. Bean. Bean, who at one time worked for the elder Shopbell, had his hand in building multiple Princeton buildings during the building boom from 1890 to 1920.

All Patoka Township schools consolidated in 1916, and that was most likely the reason for the remodeling of the 1890’s Harrison School. After the tornado of 1925, chances are the stone was displaced after only being installed nine years earlier. After the March 1925 tornado, the building would not be repaired for occupancy until the fall of that school year of 1925. The north building at Baldwin Heights School, the old

The journey began a couple of years ago to find out where the old corner stone that sits in front of 805 North Main St. in Princeton came from. Local art teacher Jim Wallace pointed out that the old hunk of limestone had the names of several local leaders including the name Clifford Shopbell, as well as the date of 1916, but did not identify where it came from. Mr. Wallace stated the stone was there when he was a youngster and lived across Main Street.

After consulting with local historian Jim Munford, we were able to come to the conclusion that it had to do with the remodeling of Harrison School later known as Baldwin Heights School.

After doing some research, it was determined that James Grable and his family lived at 805 North Main during the 1960’s, and after talking to his daughter, Jody Grable Memmer, it was determined that the stone was acquired from the Baldwin Heights School by her father sometime in the 1960’s. The cornerstone has set in front of 808 N. Main Street ever since.

Clifford Shopbell, the architect for the 1916 Harrison School remodeling project, was a locally successful architect who designed Harrison School, around 1910, would later become Baldwin Heights. several famous buildings in

Jeff’s Journeys from Yesterday & Today

Essex Automobiles & Princeton Story & Photos courtesy Jeff Minnis

I decided to jump back to talking about cars this month instead of another restaurant review. There will be more of those to come with so many good Mom and Pop places to visit here in Gibson County!

Introduced in 1919, the Hudson-built Essex was a sales winner in its first two years, offering a lively fourcylinder engine and the first closed body type among popular priced mass production cars. They were well known and loved for their reliability and quality compared to other similar priced automobiles of the time. Unfortunately in the mid-20’s, they built a less reliable six cylinder engine so their image and popularity suffered accordingly. Although this engine was enlarged and improved, Essex failed to win back its early reputation for ruggedness and durability.

Declining sales of the Essex combined with growing economic pressure and suffering from the effects of the Depression, forced Hudson to replace the Essex with a redesigned automobile with a lower manufacturing cost and selling price. During 1932, they began the Terraplane model of Essex. These were introduced in July with Orville Wright receiving the first example built and Amelia Earhart received car number two.Their sales slogan was “On the sea that’s aquaplaning, in the air that’s aeroplaning, but on the land, in the traffic, on the hills, hot diggity dog, THAT’S TERRAPLANING!” The Terraplane received much interest and fanfare within the automotive industry with its extremely low base price and unique braking system called “DuoAutomatic.” Terraplanes had two brake systems— hydraulic and mechanical. If the hydraulic brakes failed, the mechanical brakes would be used to stop the car.

It’s rare for a small town to have more then one dealership selling the same make of automobile.

However, because it was such a popular automobile at one point there were four different dealers selling them: A.L Maxwell on 118 N. West St. “the old license branch building”, Valley Motor Company at 326 N. Hart St., Fisher Armstrong 115 E. Emerson and Princeton Hudson Essex at 230 S. Main St. The only other time Princeton had multiple dealers selling the same brand was with Plymouth in the late ‘50’s. From the first dealership in 1914, there have been 58 different dealerships selling 36 different makes of automobiles. At any given time, there have been at least six different dealerships selling new cars in Princeton at the same time until 1981, when dealerships started going out of business or started merging. Today we are down to just one. Patriot Auto Plaza on Hwy. 64, recently has a new owner. Steve Faulkner Chevrolet, Buick, GMC will continue on with great sales and service for our little town.

Backyard Birds -

Named by Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1828, after his friend William Cooper, the Cooper’s Hawk is an accipiter, meaning; short broad wings and long legs built for agile flight in wooded country. While hunting primarily small to medium-sized birds, they can still take small mammals and a possible reptile now and then.

Being a Purple Martin Landlord as I am, providing housing, and trying to provide a safe nesting environment for my purple martins tends to create much interest for an accipiter. Every year at this time, I get multiple visits per day from a Cooper’s Hawk. With 60-70 pairs of Purple Martins raising 4-5 fledglings per nest, this can bring a total number approaching 300 juvenile purple martins filling the sky. Those juveniles are not that great at flying for the first few weeks. This makes them easy targets for a Cooper’s Hawk wanting breakfast.

Now adult purple martins are fast agile fliers, but that doesn’t matter under a sneak attack by a Cooper’s Hawk hiding under the cover of a large tree. When a Purple Martin spots a Cooper’s Hawk, they will sound the alarm for all Martins in their colony. With the snap of a finger they can be literally triggered into instant flight which is an amazing site in itself. Now in this alarm mode and being such fast and agile fliers, they can usually avoid the accipiter. In fact, as a large group, they will go directly after the Cooper’s Hawk in flight chasing and harassing it until it evades them by landing in a tall tree somewhere.

Last week while backing out of the driveway, I saw something out of the corner of my eye and it was a Cooper’s Hawk flying very low, only a foot above the soybean field, across the road from my house. Now this guy flew right across the field and across the road in front of me and went into the first of four pine trees that line my drive. His flight path was in such a way that the Purple Martins may not have seen him coming. Using the line of trees as cover, I believe his intent was to hide

The Cooper’s Hawk

out in the pine trees and make a surprise attack. I thought, I can’t let this happen. I pulled back into the driveway and got out of the car. I looked into the tree exactly where I saw it fly in. I walked under the tree and looked straight up. Then I saw it, standing on that limb and looking down at me as if to say, “Yes, here I am and what are you going to do about it”? Those piercing eyes just looked right through me. The strong legs and a bird of prey with a height of 16-20 inches makes an intimidating figure only 10 feet above your head.

Now, I was a worried landlord trying to protect my tenants but guess what, they already saw it. I could hear them soaring high up in the sky sounding their alarm trying to spot this beast and chase it off. I slapped my hands together and it flew off.

Did I save my Martins? Did they already know? Was I wasting my effort since they already knew? Can you truly control what may eventually happen anyway?

Martins are going to do what Martins do and Cooper’s Hawks are going to do what they do. I know this hawk just wanted some breakfast at 6:20 AM but I didn’t want my birds to be his buffet.

~ Recycle Tips ~

Hello Gibson County! If you were wondering about our trivia questions at the fair, here are the answers! The top three household recyclable materials in the United States this year are cardboard, plastic, and aluminum.

Other metals and paper come in at a close four and five. In an average year for Gibson County, we make about $50,000.00 by selling those recyclables to mills for further recycle processing. All our mills are within the tri-state and our recycling is completely processed in the U.S.! By baling and selling these materials by the ton, it helps to keep our Gibson County Solid Waste tax levy at a minimum. So, by recycling, you not only help our local environment – BUT you also help keep some local taxes low. Finally, Gibson County gets rid of an average of 6,500 tons of trash at the landfill each year. This is only the trash that is taken to our sites or the clean-up days sponsored by the county towns. It does not include the Princeton City Curbside trash or private curbside/dumpster trash. That’s a lot of trash! We hope you enjoyed the County Fair, and we will see you next time!

Remember: Reduce Reuse Recycle For more information visit us on our Facebook Page: Gibson County Solid Waste OR http://www.gibsoncountysolidwaste.com

As the Vet Says -

-Dr. Marybeth Feutz, Princeton Veterinary Hospital

I Need to See Some ID, Please

We see too many pets get out or get lost during summer months. Between nice weather, doors and windows being left open, and travel, it’s too easy for our dogs and cats to wander away. What happens if your cat gets lost? If someone finds your runaway dog, is there an easy way for them to find you?

All pets should have some form of identification. (Does it sound like they are getting ready to go through the airport security line?) A rabies tag on a collar is the most basic form of identification.

The rabies tag has the veterinarian’s name and phone number and the rabies tag number. With the rabies tag number, your veterinarian can look up your name and contact information.

A better way to identify your pets is with an ID tag on their collar. Your pet’s ID tag can have any information on it you want. The basic information on the tag should

C ompassionate care for all animals, LARGE and small

be your pet’s name, your name, and your phone number.

But we all know that tags and collars can get lost. So what can your pets carry with them all the time?

(Wouldn’t it be great if dogs and cats had pockets?) You can give your pet a microchip! Microchips are not GPS trackers. They can’t “find” your pet. The chips simply store information. If your dog or cat gets lost, the person who finds him can take him to their local veterinarian or animal shelter. The veterinarian or shelter can scan your pet for a microchip, get the chip number, and look up your name and phone number.

Most microchips will also store other information like your address or any medical conditions your pet has.

Does your pet already have a microchip? August 15 is National Check the Chip Day! Take a few minutes to check the information stored on your pet’s microchip.

Make sure your address and phone number are up to date, and add any other important information about your furry family member.

If your pet doesn’t have a microchip, what are you waiting for? National Check the Chip Day is also a great day to get a microchip! Bring your dog or cat in to Princeton Veterinary Hospital during our regular business hours to get a microchip, and give your pets some permanent identification.

What is the Green Thin Line Flag?

Photo Jancey Smith

Thin line flags have become increasingly popular ways to show support for local community members that serve and protect.

Many are familiar with the Thin Blue Line supporting law enforcement, but there are a variety of colored flags.

Fort Branch resident, Mark Freudenberg, contacted Jenny Mason from Alterations & More to modify a flag with a green stripe which symbolizes the military and veterans, as well as border patrol, park rangers, game wardens and conservation personnel.

Veteran’s Voice

George Pickersgill - Gibson Co. Veterans Service Officer, 812 385-4522 On more than one occasion, I have talked to you about Pensions which are monetary benefits for qualifying low-income wartime veterans (and their surviving spouses).

These pensions are needs-based and are tied directly to the veteran’s (or spouse’s) household income and total net worth. Simply put, veterans are expected to use their resources to meet their own needs. If they do not have those means, help may be available.

If you’ll remember, I have also warned you about falling prey to companies who, under the guise of “financial planning”, offer to help you in applying for these pensions. They are commonly referred to by the VA as “Pension Poachers” and are notorious for lurking around nursing homes and retirement communities seeking to profit from our nation’s heroes. These predators have historically sought out veterans who have too many assets and would not normally qualify for the pension. Their strategy is to assist the applicant in transferring and hiding their assets, and thus getting below the income/net worth thresholds. While not technically illegal, their tactics were once highly unethical in that they violated the entire “needs-based” intent of the program.

Thanks to recent changes in U.S. law, I can now tell you that this sham has clearly crossed over from being unethical to illegal. Congress has now prohibited this practice and instituted a look-back process whereby the V.A. can and will go back and look for transferred assets in an attempt to qualify for pensions, with penalties assessed for those who seek to cheat the system. In other words, no longer will one be allowed to hide assets which should be used to meet their own needs.

Please allow me to reiterate the advice I have given you previously. Avoid, at all costs, anyone who would approach you and offer their services to help you apply

for these pensions, or any other VA benefit. Don’t be fooled by the word “Veteran” in their name either.

Remember, these people are not there to honor your service. They exist to take advantage of it for a fee.

Every Indiana county employs a Service Officer (like myself) whose job and passion it is to help you with these issues… free of charge. Please make me your first call if you believe you qualify or have been approached by one of these vultures.

Gibson County Supports Local Olympian Photo: Jancey Smith

There may have only been a small crowd able to make the Thursday, 5 pm deadline to be at the Princeton Square for a picture, but the local support for Jackie Young in the Olympics is county wide. Local businesses have decorated their windows, television crews were on hand, and this picture on Facebook reached over 17,000 folks. It’s safe to say that the county wishes Jackie Young the best in the 2021 Olympics.

She was state champion, Naismith winner, #1 pic in the WNBA, and now at the Olympics - what’s next?

St. Joseph School Has New Principal Photo provided

The St. Joseph community welcomes Linde Anquillare as their new principal for the 2021-2022 school year. She was a St. Joe student, graduate of PCHS and received her Elementary Education degree from USI as Magna cum Laude.

She now returns as their new Linde Anquillare principal and is thrilled. “When I was at St. Joe as a kid, I told all of my teachers that I wanted to be the principal of St. Joe one day; I had no idea that the dream would actually come true!” Linde remembers.

One of her goals is to show Gibson County what a hidden gem St. Joe is due to its small student to teacher ratio and A rating. Welcome Ms. Anquillare.

Donations Can Help Animal Services Story by Guest Writer Juenell Owens

For those who can’t volunteer but still want to help, we welcome your donations, both of physical items and cash/gift cards. The shelter is always in need of heavyduty trash bags, laundry detergent, portable kennels, bleach, dog toys, collars and leashes of various sizes, and food dishes. We can also use garden hoses and dog houses.

The dogs and cats appreciate donations of dry puppy food, kitten food, dog food, cat food—they do like to eat!-and cat litter. At the moment, we have a kitten invasion, so kitten food is especially welcome, but gift cards are always a good choice since then the shelter can buy the food most in demand at that time.

We can also make use of your old newspapers, blankets, sheets, and towels. Don’t throw them out— throw them our way.

We welcome donations of copy paper, gift cards, and stamps as well. If you can donate any of these items, please drop them off at the shelter or call us to arrange a pickup. You can also donate online at https:// www.gcasonline.org/donate. Your financial donations are completely directed toward the care and feeding of the animals at the shelter: that includes medical bills, vaccines, lab work, equipment, food/supplies, and medications.

The Cooking Corner

by Jancey Smith

W hen Tom ato & Pepper Seasons Collide

If someone were to take an opinion poll of people in the Midwest about what’s their favorite summer food, I would bet two of the most popular items would be tomatoes and corn. Sometimes there is just nothing like fresh out of the garden goods. Those who have gardens always seem to be good about sharing their overflow.

There’s just no sense in wasting good food.

So when it’s summer and tomatoes are plentiful, I like to get creative in the kitchen, like a bold marinara sauce with herbs from my garden. What bright flavor.

Over the years I’ve tried stuffing tomatoes, pasta salads, grilled tomatoes and salsa are always fun, too.

But the hubby likes his tomatoes best picked, washed and sliced on the plate. He’s a no-frills kinda guy.

Last summer I learned that it’s really easy to freeze tomatoes. You don’t have to do all that blanch and peel stuff. Just wash, core and deseed, then chop or dice and throw in a freezer bag.

I can remember summers when I’d heat up the kitchen to parboil the tomatoes, dip them in cold water, peel, deseed and dice. Can’t you just picture the mess?

I can take out the whole kitchen dripping water, juices and seeds everywhere.

Thank you so much “sister-in-laws.” Skipping all of that saved so much time and not to mention mess. I had tomatoes for soups, chili and spaghetti sauce all winter long, right out of the garden.

What’s nice here in the Midwest is that just about the time the tomatoes are popping is that peppers are ready for harvest, too. These two veggies are a great combination, not only in sauces, soups and salsa, but also in one of my summer favorites, stuffed peppers.

Here’s how I do it.

Spanish Rice

Ingredients:

1 cup rice 2 beef bouillon cubes 1 lb. ground meat (beef, pork or turkey) 1/4 cup red and vidallia onion each, chopped 1/4 cup green bell pepper, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tsp. cumin 2 tsp. chili powder 1 tsp. paprika 1 T. cilantro (or parsley) 6-8 grape or cherry tomatoes, washed and diced

Small Town Living

Preparation-

Pour uncooked rice in medium saucepan. In measuring cup add 2 cups water and 2 beef bouillon cubes.

Microwave until hot about 2-3 minutes. Stir to dissolve. Pour in pan with rice and bring to boil.

Reduce heat, cover and simmer 15 minutes. Stir and set aside to cool.

In large skillet, brown 1 lb. ground meat. When meat begins to brown, add onion and peppers.

Sprinkle with salt and pepper. When meat is almost done, add garlic. Cook a couple of minutes more, then drain fat and add spices. Add tomatoes to meat and veggies, stirring to mix well. Stir in rice until well blended.

This can also be used for stuffing tomatoes or as a side for tacos.
