Seeking Sources With the holidays approaching, we know the wonderful cooks and bakers in Bureau County will be getting out their recipe boxes to start making menus for their upcoming festivities.

What Bureau County United Way dollars go for … Gateway Services Empowering people — creating community is the mission all employees adhere to at Gateway Services. We strive to keep the individuals served as independent as possible, integrate them in the community, and make the individuals feel as if they are able to accomplish anything they set their mind to. In August, the annual Gateway Cafe fundraiser was held. The Gateway Cafe is a themed concert performed by local talent. This year, one of the cast member’s was Gateway’s own, Brenda Zehr. Brenda recently started receiving services from Gateway this year. She came to us from Ottawa. It was not long until her talent of singing was discovered. When the Gateway Cafe was starting to be planned, Brenda was asked if she would like to participate. She went to all of the practices and got there by one of the other cast members who also took her shopping for her performance clothes. Brenda sang with the cast and also had a solo performance during the Gateway Cafe. Before her solo performance, she thanked the audience for being there, and she told them she appreciated them for

supporting Gateway because she receives services; supporting Gateway means supporting her and the rest of her peers. Because of Brenda’s performance, Gateway had additional funds come to us from audience members. Some people that went to Saturday’s show went to the show on Sunday, just to hear her sing again. Getting Brenda involved in activities like the Gateway Cafe exemplifies Gateway’s mission. She continues to grow in other avenues such as job development, and she expressed interest in staying involved in the fundraising efforts at Gateway. Brenda has become not only an advocate for herself, but also her peers and we know will continue to thrive in our community. 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. Goal Pledged $120,000.00 $29,284.40

The top leadership organization for girls More than 21,000 girls in Central Illinois are members of the Girl Scouts SPRINGFIELD — Girl Scouts of Central Illinois (GSCI) is still accepting 2013 registrations for girls ages 5-17 who would like to become part of a troop. Today in central Illinois, more than 21,000 girls participate in troops and Girl Scouting activities in their communities, and according to Girl Scout records, that number continues to grow throughout the area. Girl Scouts is widely recognized as the top leadership organization for girls in the world. Today’s Girl Scout Leadership Experience, although embedded in the tradition of cookies and camping, offers girls more than ever before. Girl Scouting provides more opportunities than any other organization to help girls and young women develop their leadership potential and build practical life skills. “Girl Scouts has evolved to meet the needs of today’s girls,” said Jamie Stout, director of membership and volunteerism. “We help build girls of courage, confidence and character by providing the tools and support to young girls that feeds their drive to succeed in all aspects of life. “And we empower and encourage them to become good stewards to the environment and their communities,” she added.

“There is no other organization like it in the world.” One core concentration in the organization today is exposing girls to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in a way that inspires a future career path. When today’s girls graduate from college, the United States will need three million more scientists and engineers, yet women account for fewer than 20 percent of the bachelor’s degrees in engineering, computer science and physics. Research shows that by middle school, girls begin to shy away from STEM, but when they are able to explore STEM fields and careers in a girl-only environment with female role models, this enhances their skills, confidence, ambition, drive and learning. Girl Scouts also boasts the top financial literacy program in the nation for girls — and it starts with cookies. The Girl Scout Cookie Program has grown into a leading business and economic literacy program that is run by and for girls. The Girl Scout Cookie Program provides an important ingredient for leadership by helping girls develop five key skills: • Goal setting. • Decision making.

• Money management. • People skills. • Business ethics. The financial literacy skills taught through Girl Scouts have proven to be a key factor in shaping financial and personal success for alumnae. A recent impact study about the value of Girl Scouting reveals that Girl Scout alumnae have a higher income/socioeconomic status, a greater level of civic engagement, and are overall more successful than their non-Girl Scout peers (published by the Girl Scout Research Institute, 2012). More than 50 million American women are alumnae of Girl Scouting: • Nearly 70 percent of the women in the U.S. Congress today are former Girl Scouts; • 64 percent of the women listed in Who’s Who of American Women are Girl Scout alumnae; •53 percent of all women business owners are Girl Scout alumnae. Would you, your daughter or other female friends/relatives/ neighbors like to become more familiar and get involved in the Girls Scouting program? There are plenty of opportunities for girls of all ages. Leaders, mentors and other people are always needed to help or volunteer.

‘Experimenting with Babies,’ ‘10 Things You Might Not Know About Nearly Everything’ and ‘1,227 Quite Interesting Facts to Blow Your Socks Off’ So whaddaya know? Probably quite a bit, when it comes right down to it. You know where you are, what’s in front of you, and how to read these words, for starters. You know what it’s like outside, what you had for breakfast, and what you did last night. But do you know Terri about Jimmy Schlichenmeyer Carter’s gaffe, or Desi Arnaz’s huge nearmistake, or how a baby will react to a spinning toy? These are things you’ll learn when you’ve got three new trivia books in front of you. First of all, if there’s a wee one in your family this year or if someone with an infant is visiting, you’ll want to read “Experimenting with Babies” by Shaun Gallagher. Though the title may seem tongue-in-cheek, this book offers up 50 (very safe) activities you can do with a very young child, all of which will teach you a little bit of science, a little bit of physiology and a lot about how babies develop. You’ll see how motor skills begin, how preferences emerge, what babies know, what researchers are just starting to understand, and how it all relates to the health of a baby.

Best of all, you’ll have a lot of interesting fun with a small child. Babysitting, anyone? Next, you’ll never again feel like a dummy at any classroom or party once you’ve read “10 Things You Might Not Know About Nearly Everything” by Mark Jacob and Stephan Benzkofer. Through dozens of 10-Lists, you’ll learn about oddball things like hair and elephants. You’ll see how a Wyoming desperado walked around after he died. You’ll find out what lies beneath Detroit. You’ll discover which city’s resident diners are the best tippers. You’ll be glad you weren’t a royal newlywed in the 18th century. You’ll learn about running, football and stadiums. And you’ll find out a lot of cool trivia about Chicago because, after all, the authors work at a newspaper there. And finally, if you’re a bounce-around-andbrowse kind of reader, then “1,227 Quite Interesting Facts to Blow Your Socks Off” by John Lloyd, John Mitchinson, and James Harkin was practically written for you. With this book in your mitts, you’ll find out what simple thing Elizabeth Taylor didn’t know how to do. You’ll read about Richard Nixon’s college insecurity. You’ll learn Fidel Cas-

tro’s time-saving secret. You’ll see what other book L. Frank Baum published 113 years ago (hint: it’s about as far from Oz as you can get). You’ll discover the interesting meanings of “smellsmock,” “gymnophoria,” “engas-

tration,” “gongoozler,” “chork” and “gynotikilobomassophile.” You’ll find out what cocaine does to your heart. And you’ll be very thankful that you’re not a tiger shark embryo or the wife of Zeus. I love books like this

because they’re great fun and easy to enjoy. With these three books, you will asolare for hours. Time with them will be autotelic, and you’ll dazzle everyone with your brilliance. Yes, there are other trivia books out

there, but these are three of the best and you can’t live without them – you know? Terri Schlichenmeyer is a book reviewer from West Salem, Wis. She may be contacted at bookwormsez@yahoo.com.
