Those Cold Canadian Nights A family had a small farm in Canada

right on border with North Dakota. For years, there had been a minor dispute between the United States and Canada over which country the land belonged to. The old mother of the family finally received a letter stating that the two countries had reached an agreement and the land would officially be designated as part of the United States, subject to the family agreeing to the proposal.

The old woman’s son asked her, “What do you think, Mom? Are you going to agree to be a part of the United States?”

“Of course!” she exclaimed. “Write them back immediately and tell them we accept. I don’t want to endure another one of those Canadian winters!”

California cook and Recipe Club member Dee Stillwell knows how to bring people together. With her keyboard in one hand and cake-server in the other, Dee recently organized her fellow Club members from www.justapinch.com that hail from the area in and around her hometown of Sacramento. Together they hatched their very first Just A Pinch Recipe Club Luncheon!

The Crew and I were tickled pink when we received Dee’s photos of the festivities...and the food! Joined by five other Sacramento area members, Dee quickly found out that, in fact, strangers really are merely friends you’ve yet to meet. “I hope it will be one of many more get-togethers,” says Dee of the luncheon, “and that the turnout is better each time we meet... we had a great time sharing cake and life stories.”

Indeed, Dee did not come to the table empty handed; the luncheon served as a wonderful opportunity to sample some Blue Ribbon eats, namely Dee’s Tiramisu Layer Cake that she whipped up especially for the event. (After all, everything is better with a cup of coffee and a piece of cake, right?)

Dee and the gals hope to expand their luncheons, and encourage other members from

around the country to join them in organizing meet-ups in their own hometowns! “My ultimate goal for these get-togethers,” says Dee, “will be for us to get

to know other local foodies and eventually get the girls on board to do something in a charitable way.”

And it’s that kind of giving spirit that truly binds us together. It just never seems to fail that behind each Blue Ribbon is a heart of solid gold. Good people and good food... now that’s a recipe for happiness.

Find, share and print Dee’s cake recipe and your own at the Just A Pinch Recipe Club. It’s a free online community of hometown cooks swapping family recipes, chatting about blue ribbon tips and accessing valuable coupons! Visit us at www.justapinch.com.

Quick Tips: Organizing Tip

If your organizational problems are

aggravated by your kids’ clutter, you can

help them learn to be more organized.

Start by designating an area or room

for their things. Use baskets or bins to

provide a place for school items, toys,

hobby materials, and sports gear. The best

strategy is to label everything and provide

a specific time each day for sorting and

putting away. Eventually, this will become

easy and intuitive.

fun In The SunBy Tresa Erickson

Temperatures are soaring, and to escape the heat, everyone has been cooped up inside for what seems like days on end. The kids have grown tired of TV and video games and are starting to pick at each other. Time to cool things off with some wet and wild fun in the sun. Have your kids invite some friends over, gather everyone together in the backyard and play these games.

Catch ItFor this game, you will need several

water balloons and a milk jug for each player. Remove the top half of the milk jugs to make catchers and hand one to each player. Then move someplace high, such as on a deck, and toss the water balloons as fast as you can for players to

catch. The player that catches the most wins.

Don't Spill ItFor this game, you will need two empty

20-ounce soda bottles, two large buckets of water and two small paper cups. Divide players into two teams and designate the race course. Set a bucket of water at the start line for each team and appoint a person from each team to serve as the bottle holder and lie down at the end of the race course with the empty bottle on their chest. Then give each team a paper cup, and upon your signal, instruct them to fill the cup, race down to the bottle holder, dump the water from the cup into the bottle, and race back to the start line, spilling as little water as possible along the way. The team with the most water in the bottle after everyone has had a chance to run wins.

fill 'er UpFor this game, you

will need two empty paint cans and four large buckets. Divide players into two teams and designate the race course. Fill a bucket with water for each team and set it at the start line. Set the remaining buckets at the opposite end of the course. Upon your signal, instruct the teams to fill the paint can with water, race it to the empty bucket,

dump the water into the bucket and race back, spilling as little as possible along the way. The first team to fill their bucket wins.

Jump and SplashFor this game, you will need a jump

rope and a paper cup filled with water for each player. Designate two people to turn the jump rope. Then have each player jump rope for two minutes with cup in hand, trying not to spill any water. The player with the most water in their cup after everyone has had a turn wins.

Shoot the Shaving CreamFor this game, you will need several

cans of shaving cream and a water gun for each player. Fill the guns with water and pass them out. Apply shaving cream to everyone's torso, and upon your signal, have them try to shoot off the shaving cream from each other with their water guns. The player with the most shaving cream remaining when time is called wins.

Spill the BeansFor this game, you

will need some beans and a paper cup and a water gun for each player. Divide players into pairs and have them stand six feet apart. Then give one player in each pair a cup with several beans in the bottom and the other player a water gun filled with water. Upon your signal, have the players with

the water gun try to fill their partner's cup with water and make the beans float out. The first pair to succeed wins.

Toss the Water BalloonFor this game, you will need several

water balloons and a bucket. Have players line up and set a bucket 10 feet in front of them. Then give each player a chance to toss 10 water balloons into the bucket. The player that tosses the most into the bucket wins.

Almost any backyard game favorite can be converted into a water game. Kids like to play tag? Give the player who's It a water gun to tag players with. Can't think of a way to add in some water fun? No problem. Turn on the sprinklers and play the game under them. The more water involved, the wetter everyone will get and the more fun they will have.

COLORING PICTURE

In 2009, Hawaii celebrated the 50th anniversary of its statehood. The road to statehood was not an

easy one. Bills to make Hawaii a state had come up in Congress

several times before, but none had passed until 1959.

After the Senate and the House of Representatives passed the Hawaii Statehood Bill in March 1959, Hawaiians were given a chance to vote for or against statehood. Over 90% voted for it.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower proclaimed Hawaii a state at an official ceremony at the White House on August 21, 1959. At the ceremony, the newly designed American flag with 50 stars was shown.

active!

(StatePoint) Summer is a wel-come respite from the hectic days of the school year. Yet no matter how peaceful the long, lazy days of summer can be, parents and teachers know that all play and no learning can make the transition back to school extremely difficult for children.

According to the National Cam-paign for Summer Learning, most students lose more than two months of math skills over the summer. But a break from the academic rigors of the school year does not have to mean a learning loss come fall.

Parents can take simple steps to encourage their child’s learning throughout the summer months. This can be as simple as turning classic summer activities such as learning to swim, outdoor picnics, and family trips to museums into teachable moments. Another op-tion is to enroll children in educa-tional summer camps.

“When teachers test children’s abilities after summer break, we often see the steepest decline in skills like reading and math,” said Megan Riede, senior director of ed-ucation programs for KinderCare

Learning Centers. “and engaging summer activities that encour-age learning not only help combat summer learning loss, but can pos-itively affect children’s motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.”

A vast majority of preschool par-ents (69 percent) choose to send their children to day camps accord-ing to the second annual national “Summer Fun” survey conducted by KinderCare Learning Centers, the nation’s largest private provid-er of early childhood education.

Here are some other tips parents can use to keep kid’s minds as sharp:

•Turn a grocery store trip into a math lesson by having your child compare prices and tell you the best deal.

•Change the classic road trip “Are we there yet?” question into a chal-lenge by giving the vehicle’s speed and remaining trip distance, and having your child estimate your arrival time.

•Enroll your child in a program that balances interesting and edu-cational content with group play. For example, KinderCare Learn-ing Centers created 12 uniquely themed camps like “Scienteriffic‚“ and “Wilderness 101” that offer a balanced approach to learning and fun.

•Make meal and snack prepara-tion a chance to practice reading (recipes) and working with frac-tions (have older children double or halve a recipe).

•Develop a summer reading plan with your child. Make weekly trips to the library and help your child create a list of books to read based on their interests.

Parents can find more information about how to give their children a fun, educational summer at www.kindercare.com/camp.

Learning doesn’t have to be a solo activity. Have your child grab a friend or two and set them up for a summer of exploration. Come fall, they (and their parents and teach-ers) will thank you. Letting your child include their friends in their reading activities will make it seem less like school and more like fun!

Ready Your Ride For A Warm Weather Road Trip One thing all motorists need to think about before they put the top down and tackle the open road is how road-trip-ready their ride is and how it’s going to look and perform when it’s finally time to push the pedal to the metal. For the antsy motorist ready to leave work in the dust and hit the highway, consider the following tips to make sure your vehicle can have as good a trip as you do.Keep Your Car Chugging: Hot weather can be rough on cars, destroying batteries and taxing cooling sys-tems and tires. The experts at the Car Care Council advise examining these periodically during the summer to avoid breakdowns and problems. The leading cause of summer breakdowns is overheating, which can be caused by low coolant or oil levels. Check levels before temperatures get too hot. To avoid burns or injuries, never open a hot radiator cap when checking coolant levels. Be prepared for anything: Perhaps the biggest problem with flat tires is they always seem to come at the worst possible time. Before you duck out of the office early and start your weekend getaway, be sure you’re pre-pared for whatever pitfalls the road might present. Check the trunk and make sure you still have a spare tire and a jack ready to roll should they be needed.Get a tune-up: Nothing can ruin a summer road trip more than a broken-down vehicle. After a harsh or even a mild winter, your car deserves a tune-up, and you deserve a reliable car when you hit the road. Make sure the battery has plenty of juice, the tires are properly inflated and that there’s fresh oil in the engine.Be Safe: In addition to inspecting mechanical components of your car or RV, check safety equipment. Make sure to restock first aid kits. For RVs, install new batteries in flashlights and smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

Whatever the means of getting you where you need to go.....please

Motorcycle & AtV An Absolute Must

SAfety(MS) — All motorcycle riders across the globe need to realize the necessity for safety each and every time you get on your bike. Though often associated with a rebellious, carefree lifestyle, motorcycle riding can, and often has, proven fatal to those who don’t follow the necessary precautions.

• Drive defensively Motorcycle drivers need to drive defensively, perhaps more so than auto drivers. Many motorists don’t feel comfortable sharing the highway with motorcycle riders. This makes things extra difficult for bikers, who don’t have nearly as much protection from an accident as someone driving a two-ton pickup truck. Always pay attention to what the drivers around you are doing and always keep your eyes on the road. When driving down the highway, position yourself to be seen by your fellow motorists, and never sneak up on them. Do your best to stay out of blind spots, as well.

• Know the road conditions While a pothole won’t do much damage to a car, it can be very dangerous when driving a motorcycle. Even puddles can be danger pits for bikers. Some bikers also ride off center in a lane to avoid the slippery zone caused by leaking fluid, etc. from cars who frequent major roads. When driving on wet roads, realize that even the painted lines and directionals on the roads are substantially more dangerous when wet than when they’re dry, so always slow down when crossing such spots.

• Wear protective gearWhile helmet laws vary from state to state, riding without a helmet is a foolish and unnecessary risk, one that new riders especially should never take. In addition to a helmet, wear the right clothing as well. Proper gloves (non-slip durable gloves), pants (protective leathers), jackets (again, leather and always long sleeved) and shoes (leather boots) could be your sole line of defense if you get in an accident. If you’ll be driving at night, bright uppers are recommended, as you’ll be far more visible to other motorists.

• Buy the right bikeYou should be able to reach the ground with both feet when sitting on your motorcycle. In addition, you should be able to reach the controls easily. If you’re planning on having passengers, make sure you have a passenger seat and accompanying footrests for your passenger. Also consider the use of the bike. Dirt bikes, for instance, should never be taken on the highway, and street bikes should not be used to go off-roading.

Riding a motorcycle safely requires as much precaution as practice. These enthusiasts are being safe by wearing helmets.

• Don’t rush into thingsThis is an area that causes lots of accidents. Similar to a teenager going to driving school, prospective bikers should take lessons — many states mandate courses prior to licensing. Read your bike’s manual thoroughly and take it slow at first. Do not let passengers ride with you until you feel entirely comfortable driving alone.

3 Get trained Formal training teaches drivers how to control ATVs in typical situations. Drivers with formal, hands-on ATV training have a lower injury risk than drivers with no formal training.

3 Wear a helmet Many ATV injuries are head injuries. Wearing a helmet may reduce the severity of these injuries. Select a motorcycle or other motorized sports helmet and make sure the helmet is certified by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and/or the Snell Memorial Foundation.

3 Don’t ride tandem The majority of ATVs are designed to carry only one person. ATVs are designed for interactive riding – drivers must be able to shift their weight freely in all directions, depending on the situation and terrain. Passengers can make it difficult for drivers to control the ATV.

3 Don’t ride on pavement ATVs – because of how they’re made – are difficult to control on paved roads. Collisions with cars and other vehicles also can be deadly. Many fatalities involving ATVs occur on paved roads.

3 No children on adult ATVs Children are involved in about one-third of all ATV-related deaths and hospital emergency room injuries. Most of these deaths and injuries occur when a child is driving or riding on an adult ATV. Children under 16 on adult ATVs are twice as likely to be injured as those riding youth ATVs.

3 Don’t ride under the influence Alcohol and drugs impair reaction time and judgment, two essential skills for safe ATV use.

Quick Tips: Car Tip

The rubber around the windows and

doors of your vehicle need care to stay in

good shape. Every time you wash your

car, clean these areas as well to remove any

grime. Then wipe a rubber protectant such

as Armor-All or a silicone-based product to

the door and window weather-stripping.

Avoid using an oil-based protectant such

as WD-40, as this can damage the rubber.

Quick Tips: Home Tip

If you are painting stripes on a wall, an easy way to get straight lines is to use painter’s tape. You can apply the tape along the edges of the striped area, painting the new color inside your tape. To make sure your lines are as clean as possible, paint a thin coat of the base color over the tape inside the edge lines. This coat will seal the tape. If any of this paint does seep under the tape, it doesn’t matter, as it is the same color as what is already there.

Q. Did stupidity really do-in the dodo bird?

A. Too much trust maybe, but why wouldn’t it have become trusting on the Galapagos archipelago, where it had had no natural enemies for thousands of years and thus lost its wings, says Richard Dawkins in “The Ancestor’s Tale.” So when the Portuguese sailors (and later Dutch) arrived on Mauritius in 1507, the abundant dodos were completely tame and defenseless and easily clubbed to death for sport (even though they were deemed “unpalatable”). Other factors too helped bring about their extinction in just a few centuries.

Yet the Larger tale here is that something similar has happened to other birds on islands all over the world, to which they fly, settle, then evolve there into flightless forms. The heartening sequel to the dodo’s story is that scientists who DNA-sampled a few remaining bones determined that dodos were modified pigeons and are nested deep inside the pigeon family tree - closer in fact to some of today’s flying pigeons than these are to other flying pigeons!

Solution:

“O-SO-SPeCIal” Blood Donors NeededIt’s a fact: our emergency rooms are using more and more type-O blood each year.

That’s because type-O negative blood can be transfused to patients with other blood types. In many emergency situations, hospitals must use type-O blood until the patient is stabilized and blood type is determined.

United Blood Services, the area’s nonprofit community blood provider, is particularly concerned about attracting new donors with type-O blood and giving current type-O donors opportunities to donate three or four times a year. According to Beth-Anne Ferley, Donor Recruitment Director of United Blood Services, transfusions of certain types do not always match the percentage of people in the population who have that type. “And that’s where the special type-O donors play an important role,” she said. “They are kind of like everything to everybody!”

If you are an old O donor who hasn’t given in a while, or a new donor who would like to try it for the first time, United Blood Services encourages you to come to a blood drive in your area. Don’t know your blood type? “You can easily find it out,” said Beth-Anne. “Once you’ve made your donation, you can log in to www.bloodhero.com and learn your blood type, along with other health information like the free cholesterol reading you’ll receive when you donate. You might just be one of those oh-so-special O’s.”

(SPM Wire) Some shoppers thump fresh summer fruit before buying it. Others squeeze it, sniff it or hold it aloft as they try to dis-cern which is the freshest or sweet-est or juiciest.

So what’s the proper way to pick the best summer fruits for your family?

Shoppers should remember that each fruit is different. With this in mind, the experts at FruitAndVeg-gieGuru.com have put together some guidelines to help savvy consumers find the freshest fruits for their table:

* Peaches: The reddest peaches aren’t always the ripest. The ones that taste the best should give with some pressure, have a strong aro-ma and no mushy or dark spots. If you need to ripen peaches put them into a brown paper bag on your countertop to soften over the course of a day or two.

* Watermelons: If you want to thump a watermelon, go ahead, but be sure it has a hollow sound.

A better test of freshness is to look for one that’s heavy for its size and that has a mild yellow underside.

* Cherries: When picking cher-ries, opt for ones with a firm tex-ture and deep red color. Beware of ones that are very soft or too dark.

* Cantaloupes: These melons should give under soft pressure from your thumb and should have a yellowish tinge to their rinds. Cantaloupes with the stem at-tached are immature and won’t be the tastiest.

Be sure to wash all fruit before slicing into it, since any germs or bacteria on the skin will enter the fruit when your knife goes into it.

For more tips for choosing and eating fresh produce, visit FruitandVeggieGuru.com.

Summer is the best time to in-corporate more fruits and vegeta-bles into your family’s diet, since so many different varieties are at their freshest and tastiest.

Hemo-what? low Iron the Cause for fewer Blood Donations

Iron - it’s in your blood. In your hemoglobin, to be exact. Hemoglobin carries oxygen to your body tissues and gives blood its red color. And not having enough hemoglobin can mean that you can’t donate blood.

Fortunately, low hemoglobin, or iron-deficiency, is most often temporary. It is developed when too little iron is absorbed from food to replace iron lost from the body due to heavy menstrual flow, gastrointestinal disease, or surgery. It can also be caused by eating or drinking the wrong combination of foods, beverages, or minerals - for example, the calcium in milk and other dairy products can block iron absorption, so it’s better to drink a glass of orange juice with that hamburger, and have your milk a few hours later.

So when you plan to donate at your next area blood drive make sure you have plenty of iron in your system. Eating foods high in iron, like meat, fish, poultry, green leafy vegetables, peas, beans, and whole grain bread, will help you maintain a healthy level of iron.

To schedule an appointment to donate, call 605-342-8525 in Rapid City or go online to www.unitedbloodservices.org.

Q. If not in heaven, where are marriages more often made today?A. Finding true love on the Internet has become more likely than at work or a party,

at least in the U.S. and especially if you’re over 45, says “New Scientist” magazine. That’s according to a Harris Interactive online survey of more than 10,000 Americans who married in 2006-2007. “Wanting to get married and not going online will soon be seen as equivalent to trying to find an address by driving around randomly, without using a map,” says Galen Buckwalter of eHarmony, a Pasadena, California, matchmaking company.

By one survey, 19% of couples met online compared to 17% at work and 17% through friends. For those aged 45-54, this rose to 31%. (Younger people may find it easier to meet potential partners through avenues such as college.) As online dating spreads, so too will techniques for gauging the attractiveness of potential mates, says Andrew Fiore of the University of California, Berkeley. “People aren’t that great at describing themselves accurately, so expect more experiential online dating activities and games that help you get to know someone.”

Green Beer...and Other Strange Things. Colors are a festive part of every holiday. Red & green make us thing of Christmas; orange & black are Halloween; and delicate pastels mean Easter. Bright Kelly green can only be St. Patrick’s Day. But for many people the fun of these holidays is spoiled by those same colors when they are added to food. Food colorings were once made from vegetables & berries, but today most of them are synthesized from petroleum. Researchers have found that additives such as these can trigger asthma, headaches & hives in adults, as well as learning and behavior problems in sensitive children. There are better ways to make food appealing to children without consuming petro-chemicals, according to the Feingold Association, a nonprofit organization helping children with problems such as hyperactivity and attention deficit disorder. Use green plastic shamrocks and other inedible decorations on your natural white cupcakes. Serve lemonade or one of the natural lemon-lime sodas in a green plastic cup, then provide colorful holiday napkins. To learn how you can locate foods free of petroleum-based additives, send a long self-addressed, stamped envelope to: Feingold Association, Dept. 193G, 37 Shell Road 2nd Floor, Rocky Point, NY 11778 or call 631-369-9340 or visit: www.feingold.org. G4-25-TFNhSeniors May Qualify for a Power Wheelchair. Reclaim your independence with a power wheelchair at little or no cost. Medicare’s regulations now make it easier for seniors and others with debilitating conditions such as arthritis, stroke, heart and breathing problems, or diabetes, to obtain a power wheelchair at little or no cost. Miracle on Wheels is trying to increase public awareness about the assistance options that allow seniors and the disabled to remain independent in their own homes rather than undergo difficult surgery or other expensive treatment, or resort to moving into a nursing home. These assistance options are available to anyone with problems getting around their home, or who are in danger of falling due to their medical condition. So those who are suffering from any condition that severely limits their mobility should call Miracle on Wheels at 1-800-400-4210 toll-free to learn about qualifying now for a power wheelchair at little or no cost.
