Students in Mr. Zink’s sixth grade social studies classes at Warren Junior High recently observed Chinese New Year and The Red Lantern Festival as part of their Ancient China unit of study. Students enjoyed a Chinese lunch on Friday, Feb. 10 with a variety of foods ordered from New King Chinese in Darlington.
Both the Warren Warriors boys and girls basketball programs notched wins last week.
On Monday, Feb. 6, the Warren Warriors varsity boys basketball team was in action for a cross-border matchup as they played host to the Pecatonica Vikings out of Wisconsin. Pecatonica brought an 8-9 record to Illinois for their matchup with Warren.
The Warriors put on an impressive display in the opening quarter. Treyton Pafford put up double digits in the first quarter alone. The sophomore guard hit five shots in the opener, capping it off with a three-pointer. Tyler VenHuizen was right there with him. The senior hit his own first quarter three-pointer on his way to seven points in the opening quarter. The duo helped Warren take a 20-8 lead into the second quarter.
The explosive offense would slow down in the second quarter. Four different Warriors would score in the quarter, but it would only amount to nine points after scoring 20 in the first. Reed McNutt, Jason Niemann, Brady Stietz, and Pafford each hit baskets in the quarter Still, Warren would take a 2914 lead into halftime.
Just like the first half, the Warriors would open the second half with an efficient quarter. Pafford caught fire from deep, hitting four three-pointers on his way to12 third quarter points. Landen Mahoney, who went scoreless in the first half, put up four points in the quarter. McNutt converted a successful and-one opportunity, as well.
Eventually, the Warriors would take a 52-23 lead into the fourth.
With a massive 29-point lead in the final quarter, it wouldn’t take much for the Warriors to coast to victory. Mahoney would hit a free throw, while Bryce Van Raalte converted an and-one opportunity. Cyler Cornelius added three fourth quarter points of his own, but that was all the Warriors would need as they held on for a 59-38 victory.
Following the win, the Warriors suffered a 61-48 loss to the Galena Pirates. The loss dropped Warren’s record to 19-8 on the season. The boys will be back in action on Thursday, Feb. 16, when they travel to face off with the Stockton Blackhawks.
On Tuesday, Feb. 7, the Lady Warriors were looking to get back in the win column after suffering a two-game slump. They sat with a five hundred winning percentage as they held a record of 14-14. With one last regular season game on the schedule, the Lady Warriors looked to jump back into the win column and finish above five hundred.
Warren was set to travel to face off with the West Carroll Thunder for said final regular season matchup. The Thunder brought a record of 6-21 into the game as they struggled through much of the 2022-2023 girls basketball season.
It was a close first quarter than Warren probably would have liked. The Lady Warriors didn’t get a ton of baskets to fall in the opening quarter. Adalynn
Bohnsack hit a pair of early baskets that helped give Warren a slim lead. Janel Radaszewski converted a successful and-one opportunity as well, which led to Warren holding a 7-4 lead at the end of one.
The second quarter is where things came together for the Lady Warriors. Five different Warren athletes scored in the quarter as the Lady Warriors combined for 14 in the quarter.
It was Bohnsack who had the hot hand as she hit four baskets on her way to eight second quarter points. Radaszewski continued to produce at the free throw line, going three for four in the second. Katie Lozada sunk a three-pointer, while Elaina Martin added three points of her own.
On the other end, Warren’s defense held the Thunder to just six points in the quarter. The big quarter put Warren in a good spot as they went into the halftime break up 28-10.
The third quarter would only see the Lady Warriors’ lead grow. Lauren Williams posted four points, including going two for two at the charity stripe. Bohnsack tallied another four points of her own. Martin and Lozada each hit baskets of their own as the Warriors combined for 13 in the third.
The big second and third quarters gave Warren control of this one. Bohnsack led the way offensively with 16 points on the night. Martin was next up with eight, while Lozada and Radasewzki each finished with seven. Williams finished with six as Warren picked up 46-19 victory to end the regular season.

A friend recently encouraged me to be “strong like bull.” I was a bit confused (not uncommon.) Somehow, I thought the phrase was “strong like bear.” Which, of course, lead me to the Google.
Turns out the phrase “strong like bull” is a pop culture reference from a handful of movies, TV shows and song lyrics. Bears may not have the media accessibility in reference to their strength that bulls do, but they’re not letting that stop them.
While bulls are indeed strong, an individual male grizzly has the strength of five humans. It’s unsure who’d win out in a head-tohead match-up between these two formidable mammals, but their strength is of the brute force variety. Neither bears nor bulls are gentile or precise in their movements.
The phrase, “Like a bull in a china shop” exists for a reason.
Bulls (and bears) are likely to destroy anything in their path. (And I’m not referencing the stock market.) I’m not sure I want that type of strength.
Sheer force is just one type of strength. There are other ways to be strong. Strong like…
A blade of grass. Grass starts out as a seed, underground in the dark. A little spark of hope alights inside it, causing it to break out of its seed casing and reach for the light. Grass is the strength of hope and faith.
By Jill Pertler Columnist
I’d like that kind of strength.
A drop of water. When added together, single drops of water become ounces and cups and gallons and lakes and rivers and oceans. They nourish the planet—from blades of grass, to trees, to insects, to sparrows, to bulls, to bears, to humans. A drop of water is necessary for life. It illustrates the importance of coming together. One drop alone—while wholly water in its own right—can’t do much. But many drops united can accomplish what an individual drop can’t. It’s a nourishing, comingtogether for the betterment of all strength. Water is the strength of unity. We can learn much from water.
The strength of water is cleansing and good.
A tree. Trees grow—long, solid, and steadfast. They are patient, looking down over the same landscape for decades and sometimes even centuries. They communicate in ways we are only starting to understand—through their roots to ward off insect parasites. They share water and nutrients. They breathe in carbon dioxide and create oxygen for animals and humans. They provide shelter from the sun and homes to birds and
other critters. They provide lumber for our homes. Trees tower over us, observing it all. They are the past, the present, and the future. They are the strength of perseverance, fortitude, and steadfastness.
It’s a strength worthy of wanting and waiting for.
The sun. Our sun provides light and warmth to the planet, its people and all other animals and organisms that call Mother Nature “home.” The sun defines our days and our years. We mark time by her revolutions. We plant crops according to her seasons. She helps feed us and nurture us. She impacts the ocean’s tides. The sun’s strength is an all-encompassing one— surrounding us all in her light from the day we are born.
I aspire to a strength like the warmth of the sun. There are plenty of ways to be strong. I’m glad for that. To be strong like bull or bear might be formidable, but perhaps one-dimensional. Real strength involves more than muscles and a killer instinct.
It is hope. It is faith. It is unity. It is perseverance, fortitude and steadfastness. It is all-encompassing. And more. So much more. Be strong—whatever that means for you.

One of the main goals of National Children’s Dental Health Month is public education on the prevention of oral disease. Healthy primary teeth create and maintain a path for permanent teeth to erupt properly. When primary teeth are lost too early it can lead to crooked and crowded teeth. Children’s teeth are smaller and softer than adults, so if decay is allowed to develop it will destroy their tooth structure at a faster rate. Oral disease can affect a child’s speech, self-esteem, nutrition, and education. It is one of the leading causes of missed school days. Unhealthy habits that lead to primary tooth decay often lead to decay in permanent teeth. Even with all the advances modern dentistry offers, the key to attaining and maintaining oral health for our nation’s children still lies with their parents. Here are just a few of the ways you can support your child’s oral health.
Steps to promote oral health begin in the womb. A mother who eats for two during pregnancy needs to brush for two as well. It has been clearly demonstrated that a mother’s oral health will affect her baby’s development.
Both Moms and Dads are brushing for two after their baby’s birth. Studies have proven that parents with decay-causing bacteria in their saliva can pass these germs onto their children through oral contact such as by tasting/checking the temperature of the baby’s food or kissing.
Make sure that your child is receiving the proper amount of fluoride. Tooth formation begins before a baby is born and continues into early adulthood. Fluoridated water incorporates into the outer layer of teeth that are still forming in the gums to make them more resistant to

decay. Keeping your child hydrated with fluoridated water strengthens the enamel of erupted teeth and helps rinse away some of sugars that can lead to cavities. Mild dehydration can be confused with feelings of hunger that can lead to constant snacking, which plays havoc with both your child’s oral and overall health.
If possible, breastfeed your baby. There is a difference in the mechanics of sucking between breastfeeding and bottle feeding. The motor activity of suckling a breast allows the child’s oral cavity to develop properly. A nipple is soft and when your infant sucks it changes it shape inside the mouth of your child to promote proper development of the jawbone, palate, teeth, and oral cavity. Breastfeeding also promotes proper motor function of the tongue. Breast milk contains essential nutrients for the development and maintenance of healthy oral tissue, antibodies that act against oral bacteria, and fatty acids which reduce inflammation.
“Baby Bottle Tooth Decay” is the name given to the condition of rampant or extensive decay in primary teeth. When a baby sucks on a bottle for nourishment, saliva helps to wash away some of the sugars and acids that cause decay. However, if a child’s teeth are exposed to sugary liquids for a long time, such as when a bottle is used as a pacifier or when parents put their baby to bed with a bottle in the crib, the liquid is left sitting on the teeth for prolonged periods of time.
Bacteria in the mouth use these sugars for nourishment and create acids as byproducts. These acids eat away at the enamel creating cavities. If you must give your baby a bottle for comfort during the day, use only water. Putting a baby in bed with a bottle puts them at risk for choking, ear infections and oral disease. Clean your baby’s gums with a damp washcloth after each feeding to remove plaque. This also establishes an early habit; we clean our mouths after we eat. As soon as that first tooth emerges, brush it gently with an extra soft pediatric toothbrush. Start teaching your child to brush at age two and by age five they should be able to do it themselves with supervision. Adopt a
“Brushing Buddy” system where they brush first, and you follow up with flossing and brushing. Apply no more toothpaste than the size of a grain of rice for kids under three and use a pea-sized amount for kids over three. Make sure that your child is not ingesting too much fluoride by eating the toothpaste or not rinsing properly. Teach your child to brush all surfaces of every tooth. Most children tend to brush the front of their teeth and the chewing surfaces, but rarely brush the tongue side of their teeth or their molars. They also tend to spend less time on the same side of their mouth as their dominant hand. Encourage your child to brush in a regular pattern so no sides are missed. Teach your child that

flossing removes plaque from between teeth where a toothbrush can’t reach.
As they grow and develop their manual dexterity, allow them to practice flossing first before brushing. Set a good example by flossing and then brushing your teeth in front of your child. The earlier good habits are formed, the more likely they will continue throughout their lifetime. Each child develops at their own pace, but you should be able to drop the buddy system around age eight to nine. However, it’s a good idea to periodically check how effective they are brushing and flossing by using disclosing tablets. Disclosing tablets temporarily dye any plaque they have not removed, so they can see where they are missing.
Sealants are a quick, easy, and painless way to prevent decay on the chewing surface of molar teeth, where 9 in 10 cavities occur. The sealant material flows into the deep grooves of teeth, where toothbrush bristles can’t reach. Most children’s liquid medicines contain 29.4% to 61.2% sugar. When your child is ill, be sure to offer water after oral medication to help rinse this away. If your child participates in a sport, make sure they wear a mouthguard.
Preventing disease is always preferable to treating it. Continue to schedule regular preventative visits for both you and your child. If your child experiences dental trauma or shows signs of dental disease, take your child to their dentist right away.

The Scales Mound Hornets had a busy week with three games scheduled last week. After picking up a 65-44 win over Warren, the Scales Mound Hornets held a record of 21-4 on the 2022-2023 boys basketball season. It was their second consecutive win as the Hornets were looking to establish another winning streak.
They had the opportunity to earn their third consecutive win on Tuesday, Jan. 31 when they played host to the Galena Pirates. At 17-7, the Pirates looked to pull off the season sweep over the Hornets. Galena won their first matchup, which was in Galena, by a score of 64-60. This time around, the Hornets looked for revenge with the opportunity to play in Scales Mound territory.
It was a high scoring opening quarter as both teams combined for 31 points in the first. The Hornets were led by a strong offensive performance from senior guard, Jacob Deurr. As a team the Hornets were lethal from the three-point range as they hit at a fifty percent clip. Deurr was especially impressive from deep, hitting
three of his four attempts. After an evenly matched second quarter, the Hornets took a 31-26 lead into the halftime break. Another area the Hornets were able to gain an advantage was at the free throw line. While the Hornets hit all six of their attempts, the Pirates hit just two of their six shots at the line. Deurr was also a perfect three for three at the line. Thomas Hereau, a junior guard-forward, was also impressive from three-point range. Hereau sunk a pair of threes on his way to a 12-point performance. The Hornets had plenty of offense to go around in this one as four Hornets finished in double figures. Deurr led the way with a season high 22 points. Charlie Wiegel, a senior point guard, was next up with 13 points. Junior power forward, Jonah Driscoll, was the fourth in double figures with 11. The offensive performance was enough to get the Hornets the 71-45 victory.
Two days later, Scales Mound was back on the floor as the Hornets played host to the West Carroll Thunder. This time around, the Hornets were the clear favorites as West Carroll came in with a record of
1-24. Scales Mound won their first matchup by a score of 7630, and they went for similar results in the second meeting.
The Hornets wasted little time taking control of this one, as well. Scales Mound jumped out to a whopping 20-point lead in the opening quarter as they went into the second up 22-2. The Scales Mound offense was efficient throughout. They had an even more impressive second quarter, as the Hornets combined for 32 points. The Hornets had this one locked up by halftime as they went into the break with a 54-11 lead. Scales Mound would go on to win the game by a score of 75-34.
The Hornets success throughout the 2022-2023 season is largely because of their complimentary defense. Not many 1A schools can play their style of defense and still have a multitude of weapons on offense. While averaging nearly 63 points per game on offense, the defense allows just under 46 points per game, giving the Hornets an average point differential of 17.
Offensivley, the Hornets are deep with options. Here-
au leads the team in scoring at just under 18 points per game. Wiegel is next up with 12 points per game, and Deurr averages just over nine points per game. The trio’s offensive abilities make things a lot easier for the Hornets, but it doesn’t end there. Driscoll is plenty capable on offense and has been known to put up double figures when his team needs it. With a season high of 14 points, Driscoll has reached double figures in six games, this season.
The Scales Mound roster is deep, and the results are evident. After dropping a non-conference matchup to Glenbard West, the Hornets’ record fell to 23-5. Despite the loss, it was a good test for the Hornets as Glenbard holds an enrollment that is more than 33 times the size of Scales Mound’s. Glenbard has 2,352 students, while Scales Mound has just 70. Although the Hornets didn’t get the results they wanted, it was still a good opportunity for the hoops program.
The Hornets will be back in action on Friday, Feb. 10 when they play host to the Stockton Blackhawks.

The River Ridge Wildcats hit a bump in the road when they suffered a five-game losing streak in the closing half of the regular season. After getting off to a 12-7 start, the Wildcats dropped five in a row, including back-to-back overtime losses to Warren and Lena-Winslow. The 4644 OT loss to Le-Win came on Saturday, Feb. 4. The Wildcats went from a .631 winning percentage, all the way down to a .480. With the regular season coming to an end, River Ridge had limited opportunities to get above .500 once again.
It has taken some time for the Wildcats to find their identity. “Good and bad problem to have.” Jeremy said, explaining “It has taken us awhile to figure out rotations because our gap between our best player and our fifteenth player is very small. We have a bunch of kids who are all good, just not the higher end kids who can carry a team, and they are inconsistent.” Jeremy says that has played a role in their up and down season saying it has “been hard to hit a stride because of those inconsistencies.”
On Wednesday, Feb. 8 the Wildcats got an opportunity to snap the streak as they played host to the West
Carroll Thunder. The Thunder were clear underdogs in this one as they came into the matchup with a record of 1-26. River Ridge won the first meeting between these teams with a score of 75-22. The Wildcats were hopeful for similar results this time around.
River Ridge found some confidence from behind the three-point arc in the opening quarter. Maddox Knauer and Dylan Diehl each hit three-pointers in the first. Dawson Kloss hit a pair of free throws as the Wildcats combined for 13 in the quarter. Defensively, they held West Carroll to just seven points, allowing the Wildcats to take a six-point lead into the second.
River Ridge was even more impressive in the sec-
ond quarter. As a team, the Wildcats went five for seven at the free throw line. Knauer sunk a pair, while Ethan Walters converted a successful and-one opportunity. Joe Winter was also two for two at the charity stripe in the second quarter as River Ridge saw their lead expand. At the halftime break, the Wildcats were up 30-12.
The duo of Kloss and Diehl helped to expand the lead in the third quarter. They each put up five points as the Wildcats combined to put up 13 in the third. In the fourth quarter, the Wildcats were working with a big lead. Jamie Schnitzler took advantage of the opportunity with a seven-point quarter. Winter added another six points of his own. Both Knauer and Isaac Rife went two for two
at the line, as well.
The game was already in hand, but the Wildcats fought to hold on for a 64-42 victory over the Thunder. Knauer led the way with 11 points. Winter was next up with nine, and Diehl had eight. Jeremy had praise for the bench players who stepped up saying, “We played well against West Carroll, but it was our bench players. Two seniors who haven’t played a ton this year, Maddox Knauer and Ja-
mie Schnitzler, led us. That happens all the time with this team, you never know who will lead us.”
Jeremy acknowledged the way his team handled the losing streak, and how they bounced back. The Wildcats looked to get back to their roots in practice. With no games scheduled for Monday and Tuesday of last week, the Wildcats had plenty of time to take a long, hard look in the mirror. “They have respond-
ed well in practice.” Jeremy shared adding, “They knew it was a step in the right direction after having a few games where we didn’t compete.”
The victory over West Carroll improved River Ridge’s record to 13-13 on the year.
On Thursday, Feb. 16 they will play host to the Galena Pirates for the final game of the regular season. Galena will prove to be a tough opponent to end the season as they were 20-8 as of Feb. 9.

This creamy side dish will go with any main entrée. It would be great with the Beef Wellington Dish below. It will become a favorite.
4 bunches broccoli, cut into florets
6 T. butter, divided
The ugly winter popped up again, but we soon got some warmer weather for the weekdays. I guess February is going to be a month of constant surprises. This week we are having a “red” theme. The recipes are also a part of the “throw back” to cooking. The term they use is “retro,” and older readers might recognize some things from as far back as fifty years ago. Have a great week cooking.
The “in” cooking thing is to make retro recipes. There is nothing more retro than a Jell-O salad made with cola. I read somewhere that Jell-O salads have gone the way of cassette tapes. This one is special enough to have survived. You don’t mold it, you put it in a 9 x 13 pan and cut it into squares to serve. You could put it into a 9 x 13 glass pan (if you haven’t given yours away), cut it and let everyone serve themselves. Hint: you can still buy black cherry Jell-O in many grocery stores and some Dollar Generals. Enjoy this salad from the past.
1 can (15 oz.) pitted dark sweet cherries
1 can (20 oz.) crushed pineapple
1 pkg. (3 oz.) black cherry-flavored Jell-O
1 pkg. (3 oz.) raspberry
Jell-O
1 can (12 oz.) Pepsi or
Coca Cola, chilled
1 C. finely chopped celery
1 C. chopped and toasted
pecans
½ C. flaked coconut (optional)
6 oz. cream cheese, softened
Drain cherries and pineapple, reserving juices; add enough water to juice to make 2 cups of liquid. Bring liquid to a boil; add gelatin, stirring to dissolve. Stir in cola. Chill until slightly thickened. Combine celery, pecans, cherries, pineapple, and if desired coconut in a bowl. Beat cream cheese in a separate bowl until smooth and fluffy; add fruit mixture to cream cheese, stirring well. Fold cream cheese mixture into Jell-O. Pour into a 9 x 13 pan. Chill until firm. Cut into squares to serve.
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
¼ C. flour
2 C. 2% milk
1 large egg yolk, beaten
1 C. grated Parmesan cheese
½ t. salt
¼ t. pepper
½ C. seasoned breadcrumbs
Preheat oven to 400. Place half of the broccoli in a steamer basket; place basket in a large saucepan over 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil; cover and steam 3 to 4 minutes or until crisp-tender. Place in a greased 9 x 13 baking dish; repeat with remaining broccoli.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 4 T. butter. Add onion; cook and stir until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in flour until blended, gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir a small amount of hot mixture into egg yolk; return all to the pan. Stirring constantly, cook and stir 1 minute longer. Remove from heat; stir in the cheese, salt and pepper. Pour over broccoli. In a small skillet cook breadcrumbs in remaining butter until golden brown. Sprinkle over the top. Bake, uncovered, 15 to 19 minutes or until heated through.
The traditional beef Wellington is made with a very expensive cut of meat. This recipe is for those of us who are on a budget. You could substitute ground turkey in this recipe as well. Try this version of a Five-Star dish and see if it becomes a favorite.
½ C. chopped fresh mushrooms
1 T. butter
2 t. flour
¼ t. pepper, divided
½ C. half-and-half cream
1 egg yolk
2 T. finely chopped onion
¼ t. salt
½ lb. ground beef
1 tube (4 oz.) refrigerated crescent rolls
Slightly beaten egg
1 t. dried parsley flakes
In a saucepan, sauté the mushrooms in butter until softened. Stir in flour and 1/8 t. pepper until blended. Grad-
ually add the cream. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
In a bowl, combine the egg yolk, onion, 2 T. mushroom sauce, salt, and remaining pepper. Crumble the beef over mixture and mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into 2 loaves. Separate crescent dough into to 2 rectangles on a baking sheet. Seal perforations. Place a meat loaf on each rectangle. Bring dough edges together and pinch to seal. If desired, brush with egg wash. Bake at 350 until golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the meat loaf reads 160, 24 to 28 minutes. Warm remaining sauce over low heat; stir in parsley. Serve sauce over the Wellingtons.
Casserole
If you are looking for an alternative to beef, this chicken noodle casserole with its creamy sauce will be a winner. It has plenty to make that creaminess. I always remind you that you can use rotisserie chicken to get things put together quickly. You can also buy canned chicken that works well.
1 can cream of chicken soup
½ C. mayonnaise
2 T. lemon juice
2 C. chicken
1 small onion, chopped
¼ C. green pepper, chopped finely
¼ C. sweet red pepper, chopped finely
1 C. shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
1 C. shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
12 oz. egg noodles, cooked and drained
In a large bowl, combine the soup, mayo, and lemon juice. Stir in the chicken, onion, peppers, ½ C. Monterey Jack and ½ C. cheddar. Add noodles and toss to coat. Transfer to a greased 2-quart baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 30 to 35 minutes. Top with remaining cheeses. Bake until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes longer.
These are unique bars and go along with our “red” month. They are easy to assemble. Be sure you buy the pie filling that has “more cherries” because the other pie filling is mostly the glazed filling. It will cost you more money, but the taste is better.
1¼ C. flour
½ C. packed brown sugar

If you take any notice, you will recognize that I like “poke” cakes. I think they are easy to make and are pretty. This one is cherry flavored, and I have not seen a recipe that uses cherry Jell-O. It is only fitting that the first and last recipes this week deal with what has been tagged as a “retro” food—Jell-O.
1 pkg. white cake mix (regular size)
1 pkg. (3 oz.) cherry Jell-O
1½ C. boiling water
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
2 C. frozen whipped topping
1 can (21 oz.) cherry pie filling
Prepare the cake mix according to package directions, using a 9 x 13 greased baking pan. Bake cake at 350 for 30
to 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Dissolve the Jell-O in boiling water. Cool cake on a wire rack for 3 to 5 minutes. Poke holes in the cake with a meat fork or wooden skewer; gradually pour Jell-O over the cake. Cool for 15 minutes. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Fold in whipped topping. Carefully spread over cake. Top with pie filling. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Cut into squares and enjoy.
Final Thoughts
I had to write this column while the snow and ice were dumping on Lena, Illinois. I am hoping for warmer weather by Sunday and then the first two days of the week. It is a whole lot easier for floral shops to deliver when it isn’t below zero weather. I guess I can put up with a little snow if the rest of the week and next is clear. Just like everyone else, I am tired of winter even though it hasn’t been like some of our previous ones.
Winterfest went off with lots of people having a good time. Super Bowl is in the history books too. We now go into the long season before spring comes around. High school and college sports now become our television entertainment.
I hear from my friends who are in the South, and I really have no sympathy when they tell me it is cold down there (sixty degrees is cold!). It is funny that we are always wanting some other kind of weather than what we have. Fat Tuesday will be in one more week, and then it is time to think about meatless Fridays. We will be looking for some meatless recipes. We continue to look for red recipes and some good warming soups. If you have any recipes that you would like to share with us, you can contact us in person, by mail at From Lena’s Kitchens, Shopper’s Guide at 240 W. Main St. or email us at scoopshopper@ rvpublishing.com.

We just sent out the invitations to our farming members to the Young Leaders Farmer Appreciation Picnic and are making plans for other events such as our member appreciation picnic, farm fun days, fair activities, the farm to table dinner and so much more.
