Did you know?

Pickleball is an American original. The popularity of pickleball has risen sharply in recent years, and a recent report from the Association of Pickleball Professionals indicated more than 36

million people played the sport across the United States in 2022. But pickleball is much older than its recent participation boom suggests. According to USA Pickleball, the sport is the brainchild of U.S. congressman Joel Pritchard and business-

man Bill Bell. In 1965, Prichard and Bell arrived at the former’s home on Bainbridge Island in Washington to find their families lounging around. Pritchard’s property had an old badminton court, but no equipment. So the players improvised,

using ping pong paddles and a perforated plastic ball. The net, initially around 60 inches high, was lowered once the players realized how well the ball bounced on the asphalt playing surface. The following weekend Pritchard introduced the

game to another friend, Barney McCallum, and the two men and Bell soon created rules for the game that is now known as pickleball.

Sweet doggy dreams?

It can be disconcerting to new dog owners when they discover their pooches whimpering, shaking or seemingly crying in their sleep. Although there may be some rare instances when this behavior is linked to pain and distress, by and large it is a natural response in many animals when they doze off. Although there is no exact way to measure what is going on in the pup’s mind, experts like Dr. Bonnie V.G. Beaver, DVM, author of Canine Behavior Insights, says the main reason that dogs produce noises in their sleep is that they are probably dreaming during the REM phases in their sleep cycles. Dogs, just like humans, have the potential for vivid dreams while

sleeping, as evidenced by looking at dogs’ brain waves during REM sleep. During these phases, dogs may show movement like wagging their tails, twitching their paws, fluttering their jowels, or making noises like whimpers. In some cases, dogs also may bark while sleeping, says PetMD. Pet owners should rest assured that very likely these vocalizations and movements are completely normal. However, if they are new behaviors, it could be worth a discussion with a veterinarian. Also, new pet owners should know that a dog who makes noise while napping, may also do so during the night, and should not be overly concerned if they are woken from bed by pet noises. The general consensus is to simply let the pooch be as he or she works through those REM stages.

Did you know?

There’s no one-size-fits-all strategy when it comes to calorie consumption, and that can contribute to some confusion as adults try to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. Dietary guidelines established by the United States Department of Health and Human Services promote nutrient-dense foods and beverages, but many people prefer to know how many calories they should

consume each day. Though that’s understandable, the quality of the calories consumed goes a long way toward determining how nutritious a diet is. The Cleveland Clinic notes that the DHHS guidelines have historically recommended adults 21 and over consume between 1,600 and 3,000 calories per day. However, staying within those parameters does not necessarily mean a person’s diet is healthy. Though in -

dividuals should keep total calorie consumption in mind when planning their diets, it’s equally important to recognize what else the DHHS has to say about diet, particularly foods to avoid. The DHHS recommends limiting consumption of foods and beverages that are high in added sugars, saturated fat and sodium. Limiting consumption of alcoholic beverages is another way to ensure your diet is working for you and not against you.

Approximately 22 miles south of Buffalo, Wyoming off the Middle Fork Road between I-25 and Highway 196. The Dike Acreage consists of 160 acres of deeded property surrounded by over 9,000 acres of State land. The property is fenced into one large pasture; however, the fence line does not follow the property boundary. Through a cooperative use trade agreement between the owner and the State grazing lessee, the fence line has been situated to avoid multiple crossings of the creek and the hilly terrain on the eastern side of the property. The property has historically been used to pasture horses and cattle. There are no building improvements on the property. The North Fork of Crazy Woman Creek zig zags through the property from northwest to southeast, providing just under 2 miles of stream frontage for fishing, rafting, or livestock water. Several species of game and non-game fish are known to populate this portion of the creek. Wildlife inhabiting the area include Deer, Antelope, Upland Birds, Rabbit, Fox, Raccoon, and Coyote. The property is located in Deer Hunt Area 30 and Antelope Hunt Area 20.

as “pain à la duchesse.” Éclair means “flash,” and the name may suggest that these pastries were eaten in a flash.

The most recognizable version of this popular pastry is the chocolate éclair. Foodies can find éclairs at nearby bakeries, but they’re relatively easy to make at home as well. Try this recipe for “Éclairs,” courtesy of Allrecipes.com and contributor Patty Stockton.

Éclairs

Makes 9

Choux pastry

An éclair is a delicious French dessert comprised of an eggy but airy pastry traditionally filled with custard and topped with a chocolate glaze. However, éclairs can be customized to feature many different flavors. Historians say acclaimed chef Antonin Carême is attributed with making the éclair famous by modifying a cake recipe previously known

Filling

1⁄4 cup confectioners’ sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Icing 2 1-ounce squares semisweet

chocolate

2 tablespoons butter

1 cup confectioners’ sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3 tablespoons hot water

Preheat the oven to 450 F. Grease a cookie sheet; set aside. Make choux pastry: Combine water and butter in a medium pot. Bring to a boil, stirring until butter melts completely. Reduce heat to low; add flour and salt. Stir vigorously until mixture leaves the sides of the pan and begins to form a stiff ball. Remove from heat and let cool 10 minutes.

Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until incorporated. Using a spoon or pastry bag fitted with a No. 10 or larger tip, spoon or pipe dough onto the prepared cookie sheet in 11⁄2 x 4-inch strips.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 F and continue baking until the bottoms sound hollow when lightly tapped, about 20 more minutes. Poke a small hole in each éclair to release steam. Cool completely on a wire rack.

Make filling; combine milk and pudding mix in a medium bowl according to package directions. Beat heavy cream with an electric mixer in a separate medium bowl until soft peaks form. Beat in confectioners’ sugar and vanilla. Fold whipped cream into pudding. Cut tops off of cooled pastry shells with a sharp knife. Fill shells with pudding mixture and replace tops.

Make icing: Melt chocolate and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir in confectioners’ sugar and vanilla. Stir in hot water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until icing is smooth and has reached desired consistency. Remove from heat and cool slightly.

Drizzle chocolate icing over filled éclairs. Store in the refrigerator until serving.
