Romeos hold court in area eateries CORRESPONDENT

This past Wednesday morning in Freeport, a distinguished group of gentlemen gathered for their weekly meeting. The group is known as the Romeo Club. Romeo is an acronym for Retired Old Men Eating Out. Each Wednesday the assemblage meets at a different restaurant, in a different town for their morning meal. The locations of the meetings can be Freeport, Stockton, Forreston or some other nearby town. On this day the meeting was at the Family Affair restaurant and service was provided by Rachel who said, “It’s always fun taking care of these guys.”

The goal of the club is simply getting together once a week to stay in touch, keep up with one another’s doings and providing solutions to many of the world’s problems. Of course, all of this is done while having breakfast.

The organization was founded about five years ago by the late Lee Bastian and Leland Wenzel. Wenzel, now 93, is the ranking member due to his age. Gary Hawkinson is the youngest at 80. The other members are Jim

Ammentorp, Delbert Scheider, Herb Booth, Willie Kayser, Gus Petrakis, Jim Swain, Milt Whitney. The backgrounds of the members are varied, representing former professions that include farming, mortuary science, sales and ministry. Hawkinson said, “We don’t have dues or membership fees. Just come along and enjoy the meeting.”

When asked about what the biggest changes have been in the lifetime of the members, Wenzel said, “Farming and the technology in farming. Dairy herds are incredibly large compared to 70 years ago. I’m amazed at what can be done today. So much today that is automated; I was doing by hand when I was young.”

Delbert Scheider agreed and said, “The cost of land, equipment and supplies has really grown as well.

Farming has become much more business-like.”

All of the club members expressed concerns about the decline in population and the loss of manufacturing jobs in the Freeport area. The club was unanimous in its unhappiness over the Freeport City Hall issue. While every-

one would like to see the venerable old building saved, there is an understanding of the costs involved. Never the less, Hawkinson said, “We think the people should have more to say about the buildings future.”

Hawkinson spoke of the pleasure he takes in being able to travel now that he has retired. He hopes to visit a number of the big national parks. A few members made humorous remarks about the growing number of senior care homes that have been built in Freeport in recent years. When asked

about seeing Freeport elect its first female mayor, Hawkinson said, “It’s a sign of the times” Someone else chimed in saying, “It’s about time. A good woman for the job is better than a bad man for the job.”

On a national scale all were concerned about the current state of affairs in the country. The concerns expressed were pretty much those of mainstream America regardless of age, economic background or locale. Worries range from the overall economy to Social

Security and Medicare. National security and world security seem as important as ever and the safety of citizens will always be a priority.

Sociologists and the medical profession have been saying for years that retaining good health, physically and emotionally, is dependent on a network of friends and family. Social activity and interpersonal relationships become a more important part of our daily lives as we age. The Romeo Club is certainly living proof of this theory.

Powerball, MegaMillions back on sale Sales of Powerball and MegaMillions lottery tickets have now resumed in Illinois after the budget standoff forced retailers to suspend sales.

Officials say the state has lost more

than $1 million in revenue due to that gap. The state takes about 40% of the lottery system’s profits. Sales of Mega Million tickets stopped June 28 and Powerball sales stopped June 30.

The current Powerball jackpot is $155 million with a drawing Wednesday. No one won the MegaMillions jackpot, and so that jackpot rises to $217 million for Friday night’s drawing.

NIFA offers Aldo Leopold Farm tour The Northwest Illinois Forestry Association (NIFA) has arranged for a group tour of the Aldo Leopold Center and farm near Baraboo, Wisconsin, on Saturday, July 22, from 1 until 4 p.m. Both NIFA members and the general public is welcome to join this tour. The Aldo Leopold Foundation will charge each tour attendee an admission fee of $10, or $8 for those over age 62.

Considered by many to be the father of wildlife ecology and the United States’ wilderness system, Aldo Leopold was a conservationist, forester, philosopher, educator, writer, and outdoor enthusiast. With more than two million copies sold,

his “Sand County Almanac” has become one of the most respected books about the environment ever published, and Leopold has come to be regarded by many as the most influential conservation thinker of the 20th century.

The tour will explore the Foundation’s ongoing stewardship of the pines, prairies, and floodplain forests within the historic Leopold Shack property and surrounding 600 acres.

This land, the chief inspiration for Aldo Leopold’s essays, was restored by his family from a barren state using Leopold’s “land ethic” that balances the needs of both people and nature, focusing on the health of the 76984

soil, water, and resident plants and animals. The tour will also visit the Leopold Center, one of the most resource-efficient buildings in the nation when it opened in 2007.

Tour attendees are advised to wear closed-toed shoes and long pants due to the prevalent poison ivy and ticks.

While there are no food facilities on site, attendees may use an outdoor seating area if they bring a bag lunch to eat prior to the tour. If you are planning to attend, please let Jerry Misek know by Friday, July 21, at (815) 598-3215.

About 11 miles northeast of Baraboo, Wisconsin, the Aldo Leopold Center is located at E13701 Levee Road, just west of the intersection of Schepp and Levee Roads in the rural township of Fairfield. Note that Levee Road is not always marked as such; look for the brown Rustic Road markers instead (Rustic Road #49).

NIFA is a non-profit association of woodland owners dedicated to promoting sustainable forest management.

because we know there is a strong relationship between diet and many chronic diseases,” states Diane Reinhold, U of I Extension, Nutrition and Wellness Educator.

The need to establish healthy eating habits is critical. And the younger these healthy eating habits are established, the more likely they will be continued throughout life. This is especially important, as we are seeing a significant increase in the number of school age children with increased blood pressure and body weight, which are precursors to developing chronic diseases, previously only associated with middle age adults.

Schools, foodservice authorities (SFA), and parents have all faced challenges in understanding and implementing the new guidelines.

Therefore, to help schools and school foodservice professionals meet the requirements of the HHFKA; the USDA has established professional standards for SFA. These standards allow SFA to receive continuing education and training to aid in creating nutritious, safe and enjoyable meals.

ering the vast number of students receiving school meals, and the need to ensure students have the nutrition they need to focus and learn throughout the day, the NSLP is a vital aspect of the school day.

The NSLP has received a great deal of attention over the past few years, due to the recent changes stemming from the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (HHFKA). With many asking why changes needed to occur to the NSLP. The answer is simple.

National and state authorities care about the health and wellbeing of our children.

Healthcare providers and nutrition researchers have long recognized that children, who consume balanced nutritious meals, often perform better in school. Therefore, improving the quality of the meals served during the school day is an essential step towards ensuring students are consuming nutritious foods that provide the basis for academic achievement.

“The changes made to the NSLP are actually based on the Dietary Guidelines, which serve as a framework to help us to make healthy food choices. And following these guidelines are especially important,

Deliriously fun Scapino! at Timber Lake Playhouse Timber Lake Playhouse, the professional summer theatre of Northwest Illinois, presents the interactive comedy, Scapino!, July 13 through 22, at the playhouse in Mount Carroll. Will Taylor, whose Broadway credits include The Mel Brooks Musicals, The Producers and A Chorus Line, returns to direct the play at TLP. He most previously helmed A Chorus Line for the company in 2013.

The production features TLP favorites Kieran McCabe (Stacy Jaxx in Rock of Ages) and Grant Brown (Bert in Mary Poppins) leading the 2017 resident company as a group of ragtag, traveling actor-musicians who arrive at the playhouse with the audience each night, entertaining them with songs, side shows, and special tricks before deciding it’s time to put on a play. That play, of course, is the story of Scapino!. The Wall Street Journal calls the experience, “An evening of sheer, unadulterated delight.”

Scapino! takes place around a dockside cafe in 1970s Naples, Italy, where the title character devises a complex plot to help two pairs of lovers fight against parental opposition that, it turns out, may not actually exist. Scapino is a rapscallion, a fast-talking, quick-thinking scamp who cleverly manipulates and cajoles everyone into doing whatever he intends them to do. Authors Frank Dunlop and Jim Dale, who also originally starred, have created a nonstop comedy with stock characters, slapstick, acrobatics and even some burlesque Although Scapino! is not a musical, it is punctuated with songs that give the evening a zany and magical feel.

Artistic Director James Beaudry says of the play, “Scapino! is--without question--the funniest play I’ve had the pleasure of sitting through a rehearsal of in many, many years.

The ridiculousness is deliriously fun, and the entire evening feels like a great party among friends.”

Andrew Milliken serves as music supervisor for the production. The

VIEWPOINT 4 • Wednesday, July 19, 2017 - Shopper’s Guide

Attorney General Madigan issues guidance to Illinois law enforcement to improve response to sexual assault and sexual abuse crimes Attorney General Lisa Madigan today announced her office issued guidance for law enforcement agencies throughout the state under a new landmark law that was enacted to improve the response to sexual assault and sexual abuse crimes in Illinois.

The Comprehensive Guidelines and Sample Policy Language for Law Enforcement Policies on Responding to and Investigating Sexual Assault and Sexual Abuse are now available on the Attorney General’s website, and are part of the new law that requires specialized training and policies for law enforcement to respond to sexual assault crimes.

In 2015, Madigan created the Joint Sexual Assault Working Group with the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office, the St. Clair County State’s Attorney’s Office and the Illinois Coalition Against Sexual Assault. The

Working Group was formed to address the fact that most survivors of sexual assault do not report their crimes to law enforcement authorities. In 2016, the Working Group drafted and worked to pass the Sexual Assault Incident Procedure Act to improve the response of the criminal justice system to survivors of sexual assault.

The Act requires law enforcement in Illinois to adopt evidence-based, trauma-informed policies and requires specialized sexual assault training for first responders and law enforcement authorities. Under the law, every law enforcement agency is required to develop, adopt and implement written policies for incidents of sexual assault or sexual abuse by Jan. 1, 2018. The policies must be consistent with the guidance issued by Madigan’s office in consultation with the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board

and the Illinois State Police.

“We took a comprehensive look at why sexual assault survivors rarely report their crimes to law enforcement, and it was clear that our criminal justice system can and must respond, investigate and better support survivors,” Madigan said. “The new law is intended to encourage more survivors of these devastating crimes to come forward, receive justice and begin the healing process. These comprehensive guidelines will help to ensure law enforcement agencies are responsive to survivors.”

Sheriffs, police chiefs, prosecutors and victim advocates played a critical role in the development of the guidelines and sample policy over the last year.

“We want victims of sexual assault to report the crimes against them and receive the assistance and justice that

they deserve, and this law and our working group had them in mind every step of the way,” Ed Wojcicki, executive director of the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police said. “The Illinois Chiefs were at the table with the Attorney General’s staff, Illinois State Police, advocacy groups and others for more than a year working on these guidelines, and we are grateful to Attorney General Madigan for making the implementation of this new law an outstanding collaborative process.”

The issuance of the Comprehensive Guidelines is the latest step in the implementation of the Sexual Assault Incident Procedure Act, which includes additional significant changes in the handling of sexual assault cases: Law enforcement officers are required to complete written reports of every sexual assault complaint, regardless of who is reporting the crime and

where it occurred.

Survivors are able to request updates on the status of the testing of their sexual assault evidence by the state crime lab. Law enforcement agencies are required to respond to status requests unless doing so would compromise or impede an ongoing investigation.

The time period for survivors to consent to the testing of their sexual assault forensic evidence will be extended from 14 days to five years after the assault. Survivors under the age of 18 at the time of the crime will have five years from their 18th birthday to consent to the testing of the evidence.

In addition to the Comprehensive Guidelines and sample policy language, also available on the Attorney General’s website are victim notice forms in 10 different languages, which law enforcement may use when implementing other requirements of the Act.

Bustos votes to pass bipartisan National Defense Authorization Act Today, Congresswoman Cheri Bustos (IL-17) voted for the bipartisan National Defense Authorization Act. This bill authorizes $621.5 billion in discretionary base budget authority, including for the activities of DOD, as well as for the defense-related activities of the Department of Energy. The bill also authorizes $74.6 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO), $10 million of which is to be used for base-budget requirements, amounting to a total of $631.5 billion for base budget requirements and $64.6 billion for OCO requirements.

The National Defense Authorization Act included two amendments Bustos included to strengthen the Rock Island Arsenal.

First, by working across the aisle over the last several days, Bustos successfully included an amendment that

will reduce government waste and help strengthen the Rock Island Arsenal by requiring the Department of Defense to ensure that there isn’t any usable space available on a military installation before entering into expensive leases or purchasing additional property. This would help ensure that space at the Rock Island Arsenal, and other military installations, are maximized before the military leases additional space.

In June, Congresswoman Bustos inserted another amendment during the committee process. This amendment would require the Secretary of the Army to issue guidance on how it will decide which items to make at Army arsenals and which it will purchase from other sources with the goal of ensuring that arsenals have sufficient workload to keep their workforce skilled and their products affordable.

uniform with the resources they need to succeed,” said Congresswoman Cheri Bustos. “I’m very pleased that his legislation provides funding to support our defense industry in Rockford and the Air National Guard base in Peoria. The Rock Island Arsenal is the economic engine that drives our economy in the Quad Cities and I want to thank my col-

ger of a constitutional crisis.

It seems like every 15 minutes, there is a new story about the president’s associates’ interactions with Russia. And now the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., is involved.

Trump Jr. met last year with a foreign person who claimed to be working with the Russian government and promised to help his father win the election. Based on the emails that Trump Jr. himself released, it appears that he colluded with Russia to affect the outcome of our election and may have violated federal law. To make matters worse, this news came out on the heels of President Trump’s G-20 meeting in Warsaw where he made the ridiculous suggestion that we partner with Russia on a cybersecurity task force.

Meanwhile, the White House response to all of this has been misdi-

rection, denial, and silence. So what can Americans and lawmakers do about it?

First, Republicans in the House should stop coddling Russia and pass the Senate’s Russia sanctions bill.

Second, the White House needs to work with us to protect states’ election infrastructure. And third, Congress must engage in a comprehensive investigation to get to the bottom of what occurred in this dark chapter of America’s history. President Trump needs to stop stonewalling and let Congress and Special Prosecutor Bob Mueller do their job.

Two hundred and forty one years ago, our founding fathers had the courage to risk their lives for the inalienable rights that we all cherish. It is now up to us to defend those rights from Russian meddling and presidential intrigue.

This year’s theme is, “A Mighty Fortress—In Jesus, the Victory is Won.” All children beginning at age three (potty trained) are invited and encouraged to attend. Those three years old through fifth graders next fall will be organized into classes and participate in all activities. Chil-

give visitors a great first impression of Illinois,” said Illinois Transportation Secretary Randy Blankenhorn.

“We are extremely proud and appreciate their service to the state.”

Launched in Illinois in 1996, the Adopt-A-Highway program has grown to include more than 1,000 volunteer organizations that help to maintain approximately 2,500 miles of state highways. By signing up for the program, volunteers commit to cleaning their designated sections of highway four times each year. Common items collected are cigarette butts, beverage containers, paper and food wrappers – litter that could easily be deposed of properly, but is costly to clean up, negatively affects the environment and is hazardous to motorists.

“We are honored to have such dedicated volunteer groups in District 2,” said Illinois Department of Transportation District 2 Adopt-AHighway coordinator, Kem Tresel.

“They’ve made a real difference in our communities, and we are very grateful for their invaluable contributions.”

dren going into 6th grade and older, plus adults, will serve as helpers. At “Mighty Fortress” kids will learn that God is their refuge and strength.

Friends may fail them; they may not ace their test or make the team, but God promises to be their rock and their salvation—their fortress and sure defense. So raise your banner!

In Jesus, the victory is won!

Everyone in our community is invited to attend, either as participants or helpers. Please register by calling (815)369-4035 or online at www.stjohnslena.org. Bring a friend, neighbor, or cousin and join us for a week of fun, music, and Bible stories. Free bus service is available in Lena.

Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes explores Healthcare Ministry transfer to SSM Health The Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes (CSA) and SSM Health have signed a letter of intent (LOI) to transfer sponsorship of Agnesian HealthCare based in Fond du Lac, WI, and Monroe Clinic based in Monroe, WI. The parties will begin a due diligence process with the goal of integrating the hospitals and affiliate organizations within the SSM Health system.

As mission-driven organizations, SSM Health and CSA share a commitment to ensuring the long-term sustainability of Catholic healthcare and providing exceptional healthcare services to meet the needs of the patients and communities they serve across Wisconsin.

The decision to pursue a transfer was initiated and guided by CSA, who established the health ministries more than 100 years ago. Changes in the Wisconsin payer and provider markets, combined with the changing demographics of the Congregation, led CSA to consider how to best up-

hold the legacy of its healthcare ministries and maintain the level of care that patients and communities expect.

“We are incredibly proud of the quality and compassionate healthcare provided through our ministries.

Both institutions powerfully bring our values and mission to life,” said Sister Jean Steffes, General Superior of the Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes. “The time is right for us to focus on the long-term sustainability of Agnesian HealthCare and Monroe Clinic. With their reputation for mission-driven, high-quality and compassionate care, we believe SSM Health is a strong strategic partner to both preserve and advance the organizations.”

A Catholic, not-for-profit health system, SSM Health is one of the largest integrated delivery systems in the nation, and shares with CSA a heritage of serving the people of Wisconsin for more than 100 years. SSM Health provides exceptional care in

18 counties across south-central Wisconsin through a comprehensive network of hospitals, physician offices, and care centers, as well as a health plan and pharmacy benefit Management Company.

“CSA’s healthcare ministries, Agnesian HealthCare and Monroe Clinic, are pillars of strength in the community and have a bright and vibrant future,” said Laura Kaiser, President

www.head2toedesign.wixsite.com/customapparel

The diligence process is expected to take several months. The terms of the LOI are not being disclosed.

“We are able to take this step today knowing that our caregivers and SSM Health share a commitment to providing exceptional care for residents and communities throughout Wisconsin. It is our hope that they will advance our legacy for years to come,” explained Sr. Steffes.

Regional Transportation Committee Meeting Notice – Region 1 The next Regional Transportation Committee meeting for Region 1 (Boone, Carroll, Jo Daviess, Stephenson, and Winnebago Counties) will be held on Thursday, July 27, at 10 a.m. at Freeport Public Library located at 100 E. Douglas St., Freeport, IL 61032. Human service organizations with an interest in

public transportation are strongly encouraged to attend as well as anyone that is interested in public transit.

The Regional Transportation Committee is responsible for the development and implementation of the Human Services Transportation Plan (HSTP). HSTP identifies transportation needs and develops solutions to improve transportation services for the general public. An emphasis is placed on seniors, people with disabilities, individuals with lower incomes, and veterans.

The Illinois Department of Transportation has formed an agreement with North Central Illinois Council of Governments (NCICG) for the purposes of preparing, implementing, and updating the plan for Region 1 (Boone, Carroll, Jo Daviess, Stephenson, and Winnebago Counties) and Region 3 (Bureau, DeKalb, Grundy, Kendall, LaSalle, Lee, Ogle, and Putnam Counties).

This week there is a great appetizer using corn because it will start to come in very soon. Different tasting coleslaw and a different take on Caesar salad along with a great main dish and some yummy desserts round out this week’s column. Enjoy cooking this week’s recipes.

This cool tasting appetizer uses both cream cheese and sour cream.

You can find the olive oil mayonnaise in most grocery stores. It will give the corn dip a different flavor than regular mayo. The Mexican style four cheese packages are made by most cheese companies in most grocery stores. This blend is a staple in a lot of households because of the popularity of Mexican food. This appetizer is a good one for the summer and all year round.

pasta, hamburger, ham, and pepperoni. If you can’t find the diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano, choose the tomatoes you would like or use regular canned tomatoes and add basil, garlic and oregano seasoning. As I said in the appetizer recipe, the shredded cheeses come in many ways these days. This one calls for the Italian blend of cheeses.

If you just want to use mozzarella and parmesan, it would work out just fine

Cheesy 3-Meat Pasta Pie

1 lb. rigatoni 1 lb. ground beef 1 pkg. (8 oz.) diced ham 1 C. quartered pepperoni slices 1 C. chopped onion 1 jar (26 oz.) pasta sauce 1 can (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano 1 t. Italian seasoning ¼ t. crushed red pepper 3 C. shredded Italian 6-cheese blend, divided Prepare rigatoni according to package directions and keep warm.

Preheat the oven to 350. Spray a 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray.

In a large skillet, cook ground beef, ham, pepperoni and onion over medium heat, stirring often, until beef is browned and crumbly. Drain well on paper towels and return to skillet. Stir in pasta sauce, tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper. Add 2 cups cheese, stirring until cheese melts.

In a large bowl, combine the beef mixture and rigatoni. Spoon the mixture into prepared baking dish.

Bake for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake for 10 minutes longer.

This easy bundt cake can be decorated with red and blue sugars or sprinkles. You can leave it plain if you want. The cake is moist and looks great on the cake plate.

3 packed cups of sweetened shredded coconut Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 325. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Pulse the pistachios in a food processor until finely ground but not powdery.

Whisk the egg whites with the sugar, lemon zest, vanilla and salt in a large bowl until frothy. Stir in the pound pistachios, and then stir in the coconut until completely combined.

Scoop heaping tablespoons of the coconut mixture onto the prepared pans. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the macroons are golden, 25-30 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes on the pans, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

We are racing through July and some of the fairs are beginning to be part of our entertainment. A lot of my friends are vacationing at the lake, and I am envious. However, I do have some good things happening that just happen in summer. I have my first tomato on the vine, so summer is marching on. I am keeping an eye on him, and he is slowly turning from green to red.

I am looking forward to my first BLT of the season. My hibiscus plants are blooming each day with beautiful flowers. I don’t think I have ever had such beautiful and plentiful blooms on my plants. My flower garden out back is also very pretty. I never water back there, so they are on their own. All this rain certainly has made them look great.

Hope to see you downtown on Wednesday evening for the Gathering. Each week brings more to the Farmer’s Market. Food venders will be there again. Benchwarmers will have Cheese Curds, Café 217 drinks and ice cream, the Farmer’s Market, the bread truck, and several other unique vendors will also be there. We continue to look for Lemon Pistachio summer recipes that feature black Macaroons or red raspberries, strawberries, 1/3 C. shelled unsalted pistachios radishes, onions, and asparagus.

3 large egg whites You can contact us in person, by ½ C. sugar mail, or email us at From Lena’s 1 T. finely grated lemon zest Kitchens, Shopper’s Guide at 213 ¾ t. vanilla S. Center St. or email scoopshop1/8 t. salt per@rvpublishing.com.

½ C. sour cream 1 T. vanilla ¾ C. buttermilk Glaze 2 C. powdered sugar 1 T. fresh lemon juice ½ t. vanilla Sprinkles for topping Making the cake: Preheat the oven to 325. Butter a 10 to 12 cup bundt pan, making sure to get in all the crevices, dust with flour and tap out the excess. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.

Beat the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl on medium-high speed until light and fluffy about 4 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then beat in the sour cream and vanilla. The batter may look curdled. Reduce the mixer speed to medium low and add the floor mixture in three batches, alternating with buttermilk; beat until combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 55 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 14 minutes in the pan, loosen the edge of the cake with a knife and invert onto the rack to cool completely.

Making the glaze: whisk the powdered sugar, lemon juice, vanilla and 1 tablespoon of water in a bowl , add a splash more water if the glaze is too thick. Spoon over the cake, letting it drip down the sides. Decorate with sprinkles. Let stand until set, 5 to 10 minutes.

If you like lemon and pistachios, these cookies are just what you ordered. Add a little coconut and you have what I would call an island treat. For those of us who are not on an ocean, lake, or river, these cookies could transport us there with their great taste.

Fun frog facts for kids Frogs are fascinating animals that feature unique behaviors and characteristics.

Keep reading for more interesting information and frog facts.

A frog is an amphibian. They lay their eggs in water. The eggs hatch into a tadpole which lives in water until it metamorphoses into an adult frog.

Tadpoles look more like fish than frogs, they have long finned tails and breathe through gills.

An amphibian can live both on land and in water.

Although frogs live on land their habitat must be near swamps, ponds or in a damp place. This is because they will die if their skin dries out.

Instead of drinking water, frogs soak it into their body through their skin.

Frogs breathe through their nostrils while also absorbing about half the air they need through their skin.

Frogs use their sticky, muscular tongue to catch and swallow food.

Unlike humans, their tongue is not attached to the back of its mouth.

Instead it is attached to the front, enabling the frog to stick its tongue out much further.

The common pond frog is ready to breed when it is only three years old.

Frogs in the wild face many dangers and are lucky to survive several years. In captivity however, frogs

Frogs can see forwards, sideways and upwards all at the same time.

They never close their eyes, even when they sleep.

Remarkably, frogs actually use their eyes to help them swallow food.

When the frog blinks, its eyeballs are pushed downwards creating a bulge in the roof of its mouth. This bulge squeezes the food inside the frog’s mouth down the back of its throat.
