Midwest Garlic Festival draws big crowds in Elizabeth By Tony Carton Scoop Today/Shopper’s Guide Editor
ELIZABETH — Hundreds of garlic aficionados poured into Elizabeth’s Terrapin Park Saturday to sample the wares and bask in the ambiance that was The Midwest Garlic Fest, a celebration of garlic, good food, family and music. “It’s fantastic,” said Garlic Fest organizer Lazlo Marton. “We had a phenomenal turnout. It’s been hot, but these people love garlic and nothing would stop them from coming out.” He said a number of the vendors sold out early and scrambled to replenish their wares to capitalize on the crowds. “We have great bands, we’ve given away piles of door prizes and we will be crowning a garlic king and queen later in the evening,” Marton said. “We are really excited.” The vendors including Fried Green Tomatoes, Galena Garlic Company, L.May Eatery, Sugar Ray’s BBQ, Jug’s Main Street Tap, Dittmar Farms, Adams Garlic and Massbach Ridge Winery featured naturally grown garlic, garlic related food items, local garlic themed dishes, local produce, beer and wine. I started emceeing the Garlic Festival in Galena back in 2004,” said Bob “the DJ” Roig. “We took a few years off, but now we’re back and in Elizabeth with the Midwest Garlic Festival.” He said the decision to move the festival to Elizabeth was a great idea. “The tents are a nice touch,” Roig said. “Everything is a bit more intimate. They help with the heat and sun and the people are having a great time. We’ve added a number of things over the years. The raffles are a

nice addition and merchandising that wasn’t available a few years back is up and running today, so it’s all been a big plus for us.” Bob the DJ said he is already making plans to return to Elizabeth for next year’s festival. “We love it here and if the town will have us we will absolutely be back,” he said. Members of the Greater Elizabeth Arts and Recreation (GEAR) were busy in their booth providing water bottles and informational handouts about the organization.
“We’ve evolved over the last year, but we are very active in youth sports, said GEAR board member Mark Bryan. “We are just starting to branch out into the arts.” GEAR is preparing to cosponsor dance and tumbling classes and the organization is making plans to put a conces-
sion stand in the park. “The Garlic Festival is a great opportunity for us to spread the word about our organization,” Bryan said. “It’s been a lot of fun so far and a lot of people have dropped by to see what’s going on in Elizabeth.” Elizabeth Mayor Mike Dittmar said the festival was sim-
ply amazing. “People started coming early this morning and I was thinking it was going to be too big and we wouldn’t be able to handle the crowds, but our volunteer teams were ready and it’s been just awesome,” Dit-

Massback Ridge Winery announces recent awards and upcoming pre-harvest festival MASSBACH — Massbach Ridge Winery has two great reasons to celebrate this month - the local vineyard and winery is the recipient of several awards from the Illinois State Wine Competition and is preparing for the PreHarvest Festival to celebrate the bountiful harvest in the weeks to come. The Illinois State Fair honored several Massbach Ridge wines during the 2015 wine competition. Massbach Reserve, a dry, oak-aged red wine, and Marechal Foch, a dry, light-red wine, both received gold medals. Daffodil White, a sweet wine, was awarded silver. All three were chosen as Best in Class in their respective divisions; other wines that received awards included Berry Sweet, St. Pepin, Traumen, Blusching Pink, Windsong White and Velvet Hour. Come taste these award winners and many other wines during the upcoming Pre-Harvest Festival taking place on Saturday, August 22 from 11a.m. to 5 p.m. at Massbach Ridge Winery & Vineyard in rural Elizabeth. The Pre-Harvest Festival allows guests to see the abun-
dant grapes grown on each vine from a wagon slowly cruising the vineyard. You may also continue your wine education with a winery tour by winemaker Peggy Harmston. A tour showcases the equipment used for wine production and explains the fermentation and bottling processes used at Massbach Ridge. Tours and a sampling of five wines is included with your $5 tasting fee. Tasting stations will be situated on the wine patio to allow for a beautiful outdoor experience with views of the vineyard and the sounds of our live band, Burn N Bush. Visitors are encouraged to purchase a glass of their favorite variety and take pleasure in the scenic atmosphere. Cheese, cracker and non-alcoholic beverages will also be available for purchase during the event. “Harvest is one of our favorite times of the year and it is always a pleasure to share that experience with our guests. Enjoying the wine is wonderful, but when you can understand where it all comes from, it gives you an even greater appreciation for
what we put in each bottle,” said Harmston. “We are delighted by the fruit on the vines this year and invite everyone out to enjoy before we harvest.” The tasting room and winery are situated in 18 acres of vineyard. The family-owned and operated business prides itself on growing and producing its own quality wines from grapes grown in their own vineyard. The tasting room and wine patio are open daily from 11a.m. to 5 p.m. See our web site at www.

VIEWPOINT
SENATE WEEK IN REVIEW SPRINGFIELD — My Senate colleagues and I continued to meet with constituents and attend events in our local communities this week, while the House of Representatives met for a brief legislative session – and another round of political games. But the unresolved budget is hardly a Springfield-only problem. A number of news items during the week proved the point – including the loss of hundreds of jobs specifically tied to Illinois’s poor business climate. I continue to fight for much-needed reform, to bring jobs back to Illinois and fix the broken status quo. House Democrats play politics with $5 billion affecting social services On Aug. 4, the Senate took unanimous, bipartisan action to pass nearly $5 billion in federal funds for social service programs, ranging from meals for senior citizens to rehabilitation services for children with disabilities. Gov. Rauner indicated that he would quickly sign the bill, allowing federally-funded programs to continue unimpeded by the stalemate in Springfield. But the Democrat supermajority in the House, led by Speaker Michael Madigan, had other ideas. Rather than quickly approving the bipartisan bill, the House attached a “poison pill” amendment that would spend an additional $1.5 billion without a state budget in place – far above what Gov. Rauner
indicated he would sign. With no Republican support in the House, the measure fell 17 votes short of the required three-fifths vote required to pass. A follow-up amendment, added later with only minor changes, passed on a bipartisan 98-0 vote. The Senate is expected to pass the bill next week. Turmoil, uncertainty for Illinois jobs This week, Suburban Chicago-based Hoist Liftruck, a forklift manufacturer, announced that it would be taking 300 jobs out of Illinois and into neighboring Indiana. According to the head of the company, “the environment [in Illinois] isn’t friendly for what I do.” The move is expected to save the company $1 million per year in workers’ compensation costs – a major jobs issue that Senate Republicans have been fighting to reform for months. In related economic news this week: Motorola announced it would cut about 25 percent of its Chicago workforce, a loss of about 2,000 jobs. Kraft Heinz announced it would be cutting 700 jobs at its Northfield headquarters – more than one-third of its Northfield employees. Amid the gloom, the Joliet area got a bit of good news: e-retailer Amazon announced it would be bringing 1,000 fulltime jobs to the area with a major distribution warehouse

“fulfillment center.” Illinois is still struggling to recover from the recession, and has lost more than 300,000 manufacturing jobs in the last decade. It is unfortunate that Republican efforts to pass major pro-jobs reforms this session have been stymied by the Democrats in control of the Legislature. And the ongoing stalemate over the state budget has further contributed to Illinois’ economic uncertainty. State losing residents, revenue As Illinois continues to work its way through the state budget mess, and as businesses continue to leave or question
their future in Illinois, families are too often left in the lurch. New Census Bureau data released this summer shows that Illinois had 10,000 fewer residents in 2014 than it did the previous year – the largest drop of any state in the nation, and more than three times the loss of the second-place state (West Virginia). And according to new data from the IRS, the residents are taking their purses and wallets with them. In tax year 2011 (the most recent available year, and the first year after the Democrats’ record income tax hike), Illinois lost $2.5 mil-
lion in income solely because of outbound moves. Illinois lost residents to 42 of 50 states that year, including each of our neighbors.

Federal Funds & Law Enforcement Reform
T
his past week was significant in that everyone agreed on a funding allocation for federal dollars. I mentioned last week that Senate Bill 2042 had been unanimously passed by Senate Democrats and Republicans and based on the fact that this appropriations bill is entirely comprised of federal dollars, Governor Rauner publicly committed to signing the measure. However, once again, my colleagues and I were put on an unfortunate political roller coaster that culminated in House passage of Senate Bill 2042, which will appropriate approximately $5 billion in federal only dollars currently being held up by the budget impasse. While the House Democrats initially pushed to derail the measure, they eventually realized it best to provide a bipartisan stopgap relief measure to many state agencies. If the Senate concurs next week, the measure will help critical human services, child services, public health services and student assistance programs. It is unfortunate that it could not be sent to the Governor the same day the legislation passed, but I am pleased that

it now includes previously omitted funding for homeland security that was suggested by House Republicans. This is yet another step in the budget process, one that is not ideal given the piecemeal approach; nevertheless, this action makes sense as it allows the appropriation of federal dollars that should not be subject to the ongoing budget battle in Springfield. Monumental law enforcement reforms were signed into law by the Governor. The legislation, Senate Bill 1304, is a result of negotiations between all four caucuses and stakeholders from the police and legal community, which is a combination of police officer related bills that were held in Judiciary – Criminal committee and various Judiciary – Criminal sub-committees this past spring session, which I sit on. Specifically, the legislation defines incidents with

law enforcement involved deaths, provides for independent investigations and prosecutions, enhances reporting mechanisms, outlines traffic and pedestrian stop procedures, creates chokehold restrictions and allows for body cameras worn by officers. The bill contains a large variety of reforms that came from both the community and law enforcement themselves. As a former law enforcement officer, I don’t agree with everything that was put into this bill, but I do agree with the process, compromise and hard work that went into creating this legislation and that is why I was a co-sponsor. The bill applies to law enforcement statewide and is effective immediately for provisions concerning funding of the Law Enforcement Camera Grant through fines and the Commission on Police Professionalism. The remainder of the bill has no effective date and is thus effective January 1, 2016. If you would like more details to the law enforcement reforms in SB 1304, please visit my website where I will have a PDF available within this article. In light of some recent and unfortunate news, I’ll leave you with some words from former President Jimmy Carter, “You can do what you have to do, and sometimes you can do it even better than you think you can.” As always, you can reach me or Sally at 815/232-0774 or email us at repstewart@gmail. com.

FROM LENA’S KITCHEN Crab Topped Tomato Slices
The not so skinny cook
As I write this column, we continue to wait for rain! Who would have thought in June that we would be praying for rain? One of the television people said we have now arrived in the dog days of summer. I did hear that cooler weather was going to be coming toward the end of the week. I know that anyone who has anything to do with school would be happy to hear that. We continue to look for recipes using the bounty of summer harvests. This week will feature some vegetables as well as a condiment. Enjoy the recipes of summer. This condiment for corn on the cob is easy to make; it really gives the corn a kick. If you are tired of eating sweet corn and want something different, try this way to put a little zip in sweet corn.
Buttery Horseradish Corn on the Cob
¾ C. butter, softened ¼ C. shredded pepper jack cheese ¼ C. prepared horseradish 1 T. parsley flakes 3 t. salt 2 t. balsamic vinegar ½ t. pepper ¼ t. dried thyme Sweet corn, husks removed In a small bowl, mix the butter, cheese, horseradish, parsley flakes, salt, vinegar, pepper and thyme until blended; spread over sweet corn. Wrap each with a piece of heavy duty foil, sealing tightly. Grill sweet corn, covered, over medium heat 15-20 minutes or until tender; turning occasionally. Open foil carefully to allow the steam to escape. Want a great salad for a lunch? This crab tomato salad is one you will love to try. You can substitute canned crab if you want, but I like the imitation crab instead. This great recipe is a wonderful lunch for the ladies—just toast some crusty bread and have some fresh fruit, and you will have a great lunch for company or for yourself.
½ C. cream cheese, softened ½ C. sour cream 2 T. finely chopped sweet red pepper 1½ t. grated lemon peel 2 T. lemon juice 1 t. Old Bay seasoning 1 t. hot pepper sauce ½ t. salt ¼ t. pepper 12 oz. imitation crab meat, chopped finely 8 slices tomato, ½ inch thick Minced fresh parsley or chives Preheat the oven to 375. In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, pepper, lemon juice, Old Bay, pepper sauce, salt and pepper. Gently stir in the crab meat. Place tomato slices on a foil-lined baking sheet; top with crab mixture. Bake 12-15 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with parsley and/or chives. Are you one of those people who don’t like to can or are afraid to try it? These dill pickles are the ones for you. They have a little kick to them with the jalapeno peppers. If you want more kick, use two jalapeno peppers instead of just one. The great bonus for this recipe is that the pickles will keep up to two months in the refrigerator. One of my friends made these, and she said they didn’t keep two months because they were all eaten in a much shorter time.
Refrigerator Jalapeno Dill Pickles
12 cucumbers about 3 lbs. 1 small onion, halved and sliced ¼ C. snipped fresh dill 1 jalapeno peppers, sliced 3 garlic cloves, minced 2½ C. water 2½ C. cider vinegar 1/3 C. canning salt 1/3 C. sugar Cut each cucumber lengthwise into four spears. In a very large bowl, combine the cucumbers, onion, dill, jalapenos and garlic. In a large saucepan, combine the water, vinegar, salt and sugar. Bring to a boil; cook and stir just until salt and sugar are dissolved. Pour over cucumber mixture and cool. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months. Note: wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn the skin. Avoid touching your face. Every summer I usually get
a stuffed cabbage recipe sent to me. This one came from a reader who found it in a Farm Bureau magazine. You can use ground turkey or a combo of beef and turkey; using turkey will cut down on calories. Be sure to allow time for these rolls to cook—the prep is easy, but the baking time is lengthy.
Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
1 medium head of cabbage 1 lb. ground beef or turkey ¾ C. long grain rice, uncooked 1 medium onion, chopped 1 clove garlic, minced Salt and pepper 1 can (16 oz.) crushed tomatoes ¼ C. water 3 T. lemon juice 2 T. brown sugar Core the cabbage and separate all leaves. Place the leaves in a pan of hot water until wilted, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside. Mix the ground meat, rice, onion, garlic, salt and pepper to taste. Remove hard stems from cabbage leaves. Place about 2 talbespoons of meat and rice mixture in each leaf and roll tightly. Place in pot or baking dish, seam side down. In a medium bowl, mix together the tomatoes, water, lemon juice, and brown sugar. Pour the sauce over the cabbage rolls. Cook rolls by simmering on top if the stove, covered, for 3-4 hours or bake them in a 350 oven for 3 hours. Grill your favorite all beef hot dogs and then split them open. The following variations will make a big difference to the plain old hot dog. Toasting the buns on the grill makes the whole experience even better. Here are some of the unique ways to enjoy a summer favorite: Bacon, lettuce, and tomato hot dog:
add diced tomatoes, crumbled bacon, mayo and chopped romaine. Reuben Dog: add sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing to the hot dog. Cheese Steak Dog: add chopped sautéed peppers, onions, and American cheese—melting the cheese under the broiler. Taco Dog: add chopped tomato, diced onion, diced avocado, shredded pepper jack cheese, and crumbled tortilla chips. I make a really good sour cream peach pie; however, I tasted this one, and I think it is almost as good as mine (I am not conceited, am I?) The crust is different, but I think it adds to the pie. You could prepare a ready made crust and bake it. The filling does take a while to bake, so plan ahead. It is great with ice cream or whipped topping.
Peach Pie with Sour Cream
Crust: 1¼ C. flour ½ C. cold butter, cut into bits 2 T. sour cream Filling: 3 C. fresh peaches, peeled and sliced 1 T. lemon juice 3 egg yolks 1 C. sugar 1/3 C. sour cream ¼ C. flour Crust: Preheat the oven to 425. Grease a 9-inch pie plate. Pulse the flour, butter, and sour cream in a food processor until the mixture comes together in a large ball. Pat dough into prepared pie plate to form a crust. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes. Filling: Reduce heat to 350. Toss peach slices with lemon juice and arrange in cooled crust. Lightly beat the egg yolks in a large bowl. Stir in

the sugar, sour cream, and flour until well combined. Pour over the peaches. Tent the pie with foil. Bake 50 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until filling is set, about 30 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack and cool for 1 hour before serving. I can’t believe school starts this week. I would have been working for at least a week if I were still teaching; there is so much to do to great ready for that first day. Football, volleyball, and golf have started practice. It is too bad this last week had so much heat. I hate to think about how hot it was in football gear. It will be soon time to have the first matches and games. Then time will really fly. I had a wonderful day at the Farmer’s Market. I am getting so spoiled with fresh green beans; I hate the thought of having to go back to frozen or canned. The Farmer’s Market vendors will be giving me an update on what, where, and when the market will be open during Fall Festival. However, they are back as usual this week on Saturday from 8-11 in the parking lot up town in Lena.

PASTOR’S CORNER Relationships—at what cost?
Sid Kemmis Lay Minister, St. John’s Lutheran Church, Lena
This week I attended a seminar on succession planning for farm families. The presenter is a professor at the University of Nebraska and has received many accolades as an educator. He is a respected speaker and expert on farm family relationships. We attended because my wife and I are caretakers of a 179 year-old family farm. Also, the speaker and I were college roommates. He told many anecdotes of
families with problems, disappointments, unfair treatment, jealousy, resentment, greed. Then he told the story of a young man whose dream was to operate the family farm. His father promised that his son would become a partner in the operation, so the son worked for meager wages for years; all the while being treated like a hired man. He kept wondering when his father would fulfill his promise to include him in the business. Finally, he confronted his father. The outcome was predictable: the father refused, the son left, the father cut him out of the will. After his death, the two daugh-
ters received the whole estate, which included the family farm. One of the daughters approached her sister with a plan. She said, “Our brother worked all those years on the family farm; it was his life’s dream to live and work there. Dad made a mistake, and we have the opportunity to make it right. I’m prepared to sell my share of the farm to our brother for a dollar. Would you join me?” She did. A totally unexpected gift caused great joy and a lasting, loving relationship. Imagine the love they shared; imagine the relationship those siblings have now! God loves us so much, He sent his only Son to live a per-
fect life among us, then take all our sins on his back to the cross, where He died in our place. All this to save us from our sins and reconcile us to God. And even more, He rose from the grave, conquering sin, death, and the devil so that we, too, will rise to live with him forever as his family. “In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect

Lena St John hosts vacation Bible school
when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.” (Eph. 1:7-10) He united us to himself at a great cost. He wants us to be part of his loving family. When we are in that family, shouldn’t we value that relationship with Him? Shouldn’t we value our relationship with other Christians? Shouldn’t we share that love with others? “...I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.” (Eph. 4:1-6) In our sinfulness, mankind was alienated from God. We shunned God it’s like we walked out and slammed the door behind us. But God loved us so much--that relationship was so important to him--He gave his all. No holding back; no skimping. He gave his best. All this so we could be his sons and daughters---so we could be part of his loving family. What an unexpected gift! PRICELESS!

Bustos seeks interns for fall semester in Illinois & Washington, D.C. offices STATEWIDE — Congresswoman Cheri Bustos (IL-17) reminded constituents that her office is currently accepting applications for fall semester internships in her offices in Rock Island, Peoria, Rockford and Washington, D.C. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis, but interested candi-
dates are highly encouraged to apply by tomorrow, August 14. “Internships are an invaluable opportunity for young people across our state to learn more about the legislative process and constituent services,” said Congresswoman Cheri Bustos. “I encourage all those interested in gaining a firsthand
experience in public service to apply for an internship in one of my offices today.” In Washington, D.C. both legislative internships and press internships are available, and interns’ responsibilities vary. They may be asked to research legislation, attend hearings and briefings, draft
press releases and constituent correspondence. In Illinois, interns will also perform a variety of tasks including assisting with case work and event planning. As a result, interns gain valuable work experience and learn about the legislative process and the many other functions of a Congressional office.
Fall internships will be available in Bustos’ district offices in Rock Island, Peoria and Rockford, and in her Washington, D.C. office. More information on how to apply for Bustos’ internship program can be found by visiting http://bustos. house.gov/helping-you/internships.

Pet Talk: Vaccinating your Pets is increasingly important STATELINE — It is not uncommon for pets to be considered a part of the family, which is why they deserve to live the happiest and healthiest lives possible. While endless treats and belly rubs are some people’s idea of the perfect life for Fido, a more important factor plays into the quality of life your pet will have: their health. You may have already heard about the benefits of vaccinating your pet for common diseases, but educating yourself more on the subject is important before visiting the veterinarian’s office. Allowing vaccines to be a part of your pet’s health care routine can protect them from some of the most common companion animal diseases. Rabies, distemper, hepatitis, Bordetella, parvovirus and feline leukemia are a few of the illnesses that your pet can be protected against through the use of a vaccine. Dr. Brad Bennett, lecturer at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, explains how a vaccine can be effective in reducing your pet’s chances of developing a disease. “In developing immunity, vaccines work by mimicking the infection. The infection usually does not cause illness (sometimes minor symptoms of the disease), but will allow the immune system to make antibodies and lymphocytes,” said Bennett. “After the resolution of the infection, the body will remember how to fight the infection through memory T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes. There are several different types of vaccines including modified-live (attenuated), killed (inactivated), and recombinant.” Even if your pet is considered an “inside dog” or does not come into contact with other animals, Bennett still recommends having your animal vaccinated. “We know that when widespread vaccination is per-
formed, we can reduce the prevalence of serious disease caused by highly pathogenic organisms. With this knowledge, we recommend most owners to vaccinate their pets,” he said. Though vaccinations are meant to prevent harm to your animal, they are not always risk-free. Before making the decision to vaccinate your pet, talk with your veterinarian about the potential risks and benefits of vaccination. “While vaccinating can be valuable, it is not always harmless,” Bennett said. “A discussion should take place between the veterinarian and the owner as to the probability of exposure, severity of disease being vaccinated for, and risk of adverse events,” he said. Owners should also discuss how often their pet should be vaccinated to effectively prevent disease, as this varies with age. So what kind of negative side effects from vaccines should owners look out for? According to Bennett, swelling of the face, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, pruritus and hives are common allergic reactions to vaccines in pets. More serious reactions can even include shock and sudden death (anaphylaxis). Though there are some reported reactions lasting weeks, most reactions occur immediately after injection or up to 48-72 hours later. If an owner observes any of these side effects after their pet receives a vaccination, Bennett encourages them to seek immediate veterinary attention for the safety of their pet. While veterinarians like Bennett encourage pet owners to vaccinate their pet as needed, some animal care specialists have argued that we are overvaccinating our pets, causing more harm than good. “My opinion is that I donot believe we are over-vaccinating our pets. Every day, I see diseases in pets that could be avoided by vaccinating,” said Bennett. “But just as we discussed before,

Allowing vaccines to be a part of your pet’s health care routine can protect them from some of the most common companion animal diseases
vaccinating is not always innocent. In some patients, vaccinations can be detrimental, such as those with immune-mediated diseases and in instances of feline injection-site associated sarcomas.” As owners, we want our pets to live a happy life. With the help of regular check-ups and vaccinations against com-
mon pet diseases, your animal’s quality of life may be improved. Although vaccines are meant to protect your pet’s health, owners should be aware of the potential side effects that come with vaccinating your pet. Remember to discuss your concerns with your local veterinarian so they can determine the best vaccine plan for your
animal to ensure a long and healthy life. Pet Talk is a service of the College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, Texas A&M University. Stories can be viewed on the Web at vetmed.tamu.edu/pet-talk. Suggestions for future topics may be directed toeditor@cvm.tamu. edu.
Volunteer Hospice needs your vote in the Make My Non-Profit Run Better contest STATELINE — Volunteer Hospice of Northwest Illinois was recently accepted as a contestant in the Make My NonProfit Run Better contest for a chance to win an office technology makeover valued at up to $15,000. Two additional winners will each receive a printer valued at up to $1,000. This contest is possible because of the generosity of RK Dixon, a Northern Illinois company
that sells and services copiers, printers and other necessary office equipment. They have recognized how difficult it can be for non-profits to find the money to purchase, install and manage their office equipment needs. Volunteer Hospice of Northwest Illinois, based in Stockton, Illinois serves families in the Jo Daviess, Stephenson and Carroll Counties. They offer
end-of-life care and support as well as Community Education Classes and bereavement support. All of these services are offered at no cost to the clients. This Volunteer Hospice is staffed by volunteers and relies totally on community support for their operating budget. In keeping with their mission of volunteer service it is impor-

Movies at Mames looks at Start The Revolution Without Me – 1970 PG
G
ene Wilder and Donald Sutherland star in this madcap story, narrated by Orson Welles, of two sets of twins, switched at birth. One pair are noble, one pair are poor peasants. All of them are instrumental to the start of the French Revolution. Gene Wilder plays both Claude Coupe & Phillippe de Sisi. Donald Sutherland plays his brother(s) Charles Coupe & Pierre de Sisi. In roles that call to mind those streetside
shell games that dupe tourists, we watch our twins travel to Paris, France; the de Sisis at the request of the Duke d’Escargot, who wishes to assassinate King Louis XVI & marry the King’s widow, Marie and rule France side by side with the de Sisis, the Coupe’s at the request of the King, who suspects d’Escargot has sinister plans in the works, so that Charles (Sutherland) can marry Princess Christina of Belgium and form an alliance between the countries. On
the road with the de Sisis, is Pierre’s wife, who is so beaten down by her role as the wife to a tyrant such as Pierre, that she no longer cares about the impending Revolution. Traveling to Paris with the Coupes, is Claude’s hot-blooded girlfriend, Mimi, who is willing to die if that’s what’s needed for the poor people of France to gain their freedom from the oppressive King. What Mimi doesn’t know, what no one except for those in court could know; the King is an idiot. He’s not the sharp-witted cruel despot he’s perceived to be, he’s a doddering old man who doesn’t want anyone to get hurt because of him. (One of the movie’s funniest scenes shows Louis and Marie entering a ball, the King dressed as an enormous chicken. “I thought it was a costume ball!”) As both sets of twins are pulled further

and the intrigue, but in actuality, it’s a silly, slapstick farcical ride. The narration alone is enough to elicit giggles as we’re told the same setup, over a slow crawl of text, over and over again until we can practically recite along with Welles. And Sutherland’s performance as both the prissy Pierre and the dim-witted Charles is one of my favorites. I was introduced to this movie when I was about 13 and his goofball expressions were what stood out most to me and years later, he remains one of the best parts of the film. Fun fact: Gene Wilder required no sword work training for the film as he was already an accomplished fencer from his days at school.
and further into twisted plots of deceit, regicide, doublecrossing & randy Queens, they trade places (unknowingly, of course) with one another with dizzying frequency. Friends, if you can follow this review, you’ll have no trouble with the movie. It sounds complicated with all the switching Continued from page 6
