Panthers defeat Broncos in playoff action SPORTS WRITER

Last Saturday featured a host of level two Illinois High School football playoff games. One of which is a common matchup we are used to seeing in the Orangeville Broncos and the Lena-Winslow Panthers.

The Panthers came in with a perfect 10-0 record and, although the Broncos came in as 7-3 underdogs, they were rolling on a four game win streak. It was the Bronco’s best regular season record since 2010 when they also finished 6-3. They went on to lose in round one that year. This was the second time these teams had faced off this season as the Panthers won their regular season matchup with Orangeville in impressive fashion with a 46-7 victory. Despite the numerous regular season meetings between the two, this was the first time they had ever faced off in the postseason.

It was also the first Bronco’s home playoff game since 2001. Regardless of all the positives Orangeville was riding on, last Saturday’s level two matchup held very few positives for them. They moved the ball well on their opening drive, thanks in large to a pair of nice runs by Chase Jordan. However, the drive stalled, and they were forced to punt. It took just two plays for the Panthers to get on the board first as their leading rusher, Sean Ormiston, broke free for an 87-yard touchdown run early in the game. It was the second week in a row in which Ormiston scored on LeWin’s second play from scrimmage.

Garet Rodebaugh was able to break free for an eleven yard run on Orangeville’s second drive. It was a big play for Rodebaugh as he surpassed 3,500 career yards as a Bronco. Unfortunately, the drive ended in another punt and it wasn’t long before the Panthers scored again. Following a big pass play from Luke Benson to Kade Chrisman, Marey Roby was off to the races when he scampered for a 55 yard touchdown run.

Before you knew it, the Panther defense was forcing the third Bronco punt of the first quarter and the

Panthers were driving again. After Isaiah Bruce broke multiple tackles to get to the two yard line, Benson was able to cap it off with a two yard quarterback sneak. The score gave the Panthers a 22-0 lead, with over thirty seconds remaining in the first quarter.

The following Orangeville drive ended when Roby nabbed an interception to give the Panther offense the ball once again. A big run by Jack Setterstrom to end the first helped setup an early second quarter touchdown for himself when he ran seventeen yards up the middle, untouched for the score.

A dropped, backwards pass led to a fumble on Orangeville’s next drive, which forced a third and long. LeWin’s Gennings Dunker was then able to get in the backfield and force a sack, leading to another Bronco punt.

The Panther offense was driving well as they converted on their fourth third down of the half. It stalled, however, as the Orangeville defense forced their first stop of the game.

It wasn’t long, however, before Orangeville was punting for the fifth time. Sean Ormiston was then able to bust off a 63 yard touchdown run to put the Panthers up 36-0 in the first half.

Jack Doyle was able to break free for a twelve yard run on the Bronco’s seventh drive of the game, but it soon came to an end when a fumble was recovered by Le-Win’s Ormiston. The Panthers were able to take advantage as Benson connected with Roby for a 48 yard touchdown pass to go up 44-0 just three seconds before the half. The big score meant the entire second half would feature a running clock.

The Panthers delivered their final dagger in the third quarter when Setterstrom broke free for a 44 yard touchdown run. His second score of the day put them up 52-0.

Despite the large deficit, Rodebaugh and the Broncos continued running hard. Eventually, they were able to get on the board when Doyle found Zach Baker in the endzone for a touchdown. They were able to

By Trenten Scheidegger

convert the two point version, which brought us to the final score of 52-8.

The Panthers racked up over 500 total yards of offense as Ormiston and Setterstrom combined for 317 yards on the ground and four scores. Rodebaugh was the leading rusher for Orangeville with 45 yards and Doyle finished the game with 61 yards and

a touchdown through the air.

Although it was a rough ending, the Broncos have plenty to be proud following this season and have set things forward for their program as this year can be considered a step in the right direction.

It was another big day for Ormiston and the Panthers, as Ormiston

tied the NUIC record with career touchdown number 58. Congratulations to Sean on his remarkable feat.

The victory has them set up for a third round match and it will be a big one. It’s the game we were all hoping for as two undefeated teams will face off when Aquin travels to Lena this week.

From Lena’s kitchen

Boy was it chilly this week.

Heavy sweatshirts wouldn’t cut it; I had to roll out the quilted winter jacket. Hopefully we will return to more fall like temperatures. This week’s recipes are a potpourri of tastes. There is something for the upcoming holidays, two great dinner ideas, and some yummy desserts.

This cheese ball is a mixture of a lot of cheeses. The interesting ingredients are pimentos and pickle relish. Enjoy this ball Bacon, Cheddar and Swiss Cheese Ball 1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened ½ C. sour cream 2 C. shredded Swiss cheese 2 C. shredded sharp cheddar cheese 1 C. crumbled cooked bacon (about 12 strips), divided ½ C. chopped pecans, toasted, divided ½ C. finely chopped onion 1 jar (2 oz.) diced pimientos, drained 2 T. sweet pickle relish ¼ t. salt ¼ t. pepper ¼ t. minced fresh parsley 1 T. poppy seeds In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Stir in shredded cheeses, ½ cup bacon, ¼ cup pecans, onion, pimientos, pickle relish, salt and pepper. Refrigerate covered for at least one hour.

In a small bowl mix parsley, poppy seeds, remaining bacon and pecans. Spread half of parsley mixture on a large piece of plastic.

Shape half of the cheese mixture into a ball; roll in parsley mixture to coat evenly. Wrap in plastic.

Repeat. Refrigerate the ball for at least 1 hour. Serve with crackers If you are looking for a different side dish for the holidays, try these tasty carrots. I like to buy the ones with the tops still on, but they are pricier than just a bag of regular carrots. Both are much sweeter than the mini carrots and have a lot more flavor.

Sweet and Tangy Carrots 2 lbs. carrots, sliced ¼ t. salt ½ C. packed brown sugar 3 T. butter 2 T. Dijon mustard ¼ t. pepper 2 T. minced fresh parsley Place 1 inch of water and carrots and salt in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until tender; 15 to 20 minutes. Drain. Return car-

rots to pan; add the brown sugar, butter, mustard and pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring carrots until well coated. Sprinkle with parsley.

Serve with a slotted spoon.

This recipe is a good one for a week-night dinner. You can make it ahead of time, and then all you have to do is put it in the oven.

Most grocery stores have the Mexican four cheese shredded cheese.

If you want it a little spicier, use hot salsa instead of medium; if you want it much less spicy, use the milk salsa. If you make homemade, your homemade salsa would be great.

Cabbage Roll Enchiladas 8 large cabbage leaves 2 T. water 1 lb. ground beef 1 container (16 oz.) cottage cheese 1 egg, beaten 2 cloves garlic, minced 1½ C. finely shredded Mexican four cheese, divided 8 green onions, chopped, divided 1 jar (16 oz.) thick and chunky medium salsa Preheat oven to 350.

Place cabbage in large microwaveable bowl.

Add water; cover with waxed paper. Microwave on High 4 to 5 minutes, or just until cabbage leaves are softened. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray. Mix meat, cottage cheese, egg, garlic, and ½ cup of shredded cheese and ½ cup of onions just until blended. Spoon onto centers of cabbage leaves, adding about ¼ meat mixture to each leaf. Fold over opposite sides, then opposite ends of each leaf to completely enclose filling. Place, seam sides down, in prepared baking dish; top with salsa and remaining shredded cheese. Cover and bake for 1 hour

or until filling is bubby. Sprinkle with remaining onions.

This chicken recipe uses thighs and ziti to make a different chicken dish with a unique taste. The thighs have a lot of flavor and using Italian seasoning makes the spice mixture easy to add. Enjoy a different kind of chicken cacciatore.

Chicken Cacciatore 2 T. olive oil 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs 1½ t. salt, divided ½ t. pepper 1 C. sliced mushrooms 1 small onion, chopped 1 large yellow pepper, seeded and sliced 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced 1 t. dried Italian seasoning ¼ t. red pepper flakes 1 can (15 oz.) tomato sauce 1 can (14. 5 oz.) of diced tomatoes ¼ C. chopped fresh parsley ½ of a 16 oz. pkg. ziti, cooked according to package directions.

In a large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken all over with 1 t. salt and pepper. Add chicken to pan; cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove from pan.

Add mushrooms, onion, bell pepper, garlic, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and remaining salt to pan; cook, stirring occasionally until tender, about 5 minutes.

Stir in tomato sauce, tomatoes, and parsley; nestle chicken in vegetable mixture. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook until sauce is thickened and a meat thermometer inserted in thickest portion of chicken registers 165, about 20 minutes.

Serve with pasta. Garnish with

Allied Gas later became Northern Illinois Gas Company where he retired in 1993 after 29 years of service. He enjoyed what he did very much. The crew he worked with became his family. They shared many great times camping and enjoying time with each other outside of work.

Area families make global impact through Operation Christmas Child This month, area sites will be among 5,000 U.S. drop-off locations collecting shoebox gifts for children overseas during Operation Christmas Child’s National Collection Week, Nov. 18-25.

Savencia Cheese honors Dorothy Demeter with 50K scholarship

By Kayla Webb

DELI MARKET NEWS

As the first woman to receive a dairy science degree from Iowa State University, Dorothy Demeter’s legacy lives on amongst cheesemakers today. Her pioneering spirit and steadfastness in a male-dominated industry is one that inspires, which is why Savencia is establishing a scholarship in her name: the Dorothy Demeter Savencia Cheese USA Undergraduate Scholarship.

“We know that Iowa State University was very important to Dorothy,” said Sebastien Lehembre, Senior Brand Manager at Savencia Cheese USA. “We wanted to dedicate a scholarship in her name to honor her experience, and to help develop the next generation of innovative women cheesemakers. We hope Dorothy’s story will resonate with future generations walking in her footsteps.”

The scholarship has allotted $50,000 to create an endowed scholarship that will provide support to female students majoring in dairy or food science, with consideration for those interested in cheesemaking, overall highlighting the potential of women to shine in the industry.

Ruth S. MacDonald, Chair of the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition at ISU, added: “We have a strong tradition of cheesemaking at ISU. By recruiting top-quality students with an interest in dairy foods, we can rapidly advance our efforts to promote dairy food research and train the next generation.”

Dorothy Demeter, née Dorothy Kolb, grew up around cheesemaking as the granddaughter of Frederick Kolb, founder of Kolb-Lena Cheese Company in Lena, Illinois, according to a press release. Once a student at Iowa State University—enrolled in a program designed exclusively for men—Demeter paved the way for future female cheesemakers and students by receiving her bachelor’s degree in 1953.

After graduation, Dorothy worked at Kolb-Lena, a company that Demeter and her husband, James C. Demeter, would grow into an award-winning artisanal and European-style cheesemaking operation. Eventually, Savencia Cheese USA would buy Kolb-Lena and, in 2017, launch a product line inspired by Dorothy and her renowned soft-ripened cheeses, monikered Dorothy’s Cheese, which includes the likes of Comeback Cow and Keep Dreaming. Two years after the launch of the line, Demeter passed away, leaving behind a rich legacy.

This cake is an easy one because you use a white cake mix. If you have never used coconut milk, you can find it in most grocery stores.

You really have to like coconut to like this cake; I know some of you will skip right over it. If you try it, you will like it.

Coconut Poke Cake 1 box white cake mix 1 can (15 oz.) coconut milk 2 C. heavy whipping cream ½ C. powdered sugar 1 t. vanilla 2/3 C. toasted sweetened flaked coconut Preheat oven to 350. Spray bottom of a 9 x 13 pan with baking spray with flour. Prepare cake according to package directions.

Spread batter in prepared pan.

Bake until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.

Using the handle of a long wooden spoon, poke holes in cake. Pour cream of coconut over cake. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 4 hours.

In a large bowl, beat cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla with a mixer at high speed just until stiff

peaks form. Spread onto cake.

Sprinkle with coconut. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

I am always looking for a good bar cookie recipe, although these are a little higher than most bars probably because of the 2 teaspoons of baking powder. Just a reminder: peppermint extract is pretty powerful, so be careful when you are adding it. (I have experienced too much peppermint.) The frosting is really good and sprinkling peppermint candies that have been crushed really makes them pretty.

Peppermint Blondies ½ C. unsalted butter 2 C. firmly packed brown sugar 1 C. sugar 2 t. baking powder 4 eggs, room temperature 1 t. salt 2 t. vanilla ½ t. peppermint extract 3 C. flour 1 C. white chocolate chips Frosting: 1 C. unsalted butter softened 6 C. powdered sugar ½ C. heavy whipping cream ½ t. peppermint extract ¼ t. salt Preheat oven to 350. Line a 9 x 13 pan with parchment paper, letting excess extend over sides of pan. In a medium heavy bottomed saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally until butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma, 5 to 9 minutes.

Pour into a small bowl and let cool for 5 minutes.

In a large bowl whisk together sugars, baking powder and salt. Gradually add browned butter whisking just until combined.

Add eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in extracts. Fold in flour just until combined. Fold in white chocolate

chips,. Spread batter into prepared pan. Bake until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out with just a few moist crumbs, about 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool completely in pan. Using excess parchment as handles, remove from pan. Spread frosting onto blondies, and cut into bars. Garnish with crushed peppermint candy.

Frosting: In a large bowl, beat butter with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Add powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, alternately with cream, beating until combined and smooth. Add extract and salt, beating until smooth., about 2 minutes more. Frost blondies immediately.

We are gearing up for Turkey Day. The birds will be on sale.

For people who like turkey, they often buy an extra one because the price is good. I could never do that because I lack freezer space! One of the great things about this time of year is that there are cranberries beginning to make an appearance.

I love the many things that you can use cranberries in. We will celebrate Veteran’s Day this week. I read about schools which have a special time set out to honor veterans. I remember when we used to get out of school, and I know most kids had no idea why they got a vacation day. Having special events on Veteran’s Day I think is a good idea. I know that when I was teaching, they begin the celebrations. I am glad they still continue them, and I love the fireworks! We are looking for some good holiday recipes for salads, sides, desserts, and of course, cookies. If you have any recipes you would like to share, send them our way. You can contact us in person, by mail at From Lena’s Kitchens, Shopper’s Guide at 213 S. Center St. or email us at scoopshopper@rvpublishing. com.
