We at Girl Scouts of Central Illinois are happy to partner with United Way of Bureau County to deliver the Girl Scout Leadership Experience to girls in the Bureau County area. So far, more than 4,700 area girls have experienced the potentially life-changing effects of Girl Scouting in this year alone.

Our mission is to build girls of courage, confi-dence and character who make the world a better place, and United Way of Bureau County helps us do so with programs that are available to all girls regardless of race, religion, ability or economic status.

Girl Scouts of Central Illinois offers programming across six primary focus areas — financial literacy, STEM (science, technology, engineering and math-ematics), the arts, travel, health and wellness, and outdoor/environmental education — in addition to providing numerous opportunities for girls to dis-cover their values and develop their character and leadership potential. Participants not only receive exciting, relevant curricula on topics such as mak-ing healthy choices, goal-setting and bully preven-tion, but are also able to participate in events at

which they meet and learn from female professionals, from judges to engineers. We are also able to help facilitate camp attendance at beautiful Camp Tapawingo, where girls experience the wonders of summer camp — including our popular equestrian program.

Thanks to United Way of Bureau County, girls from our area are able to have experiences which we adults may take for granted, but which can be life changing — especially for girls with limited opportunities. We are committed to making these opportunities available to all girls, so that all girls have access to the tools they need to grow strong, regardless of their family’s financial situation, and to meet the needs of all girls, so they can change the way they live their lives and the way they see the world and their place in it.

Call the Bureau County United Way at 815-872-0821 for information on how you can lend a help-ing hand to those in need in Bureau County.

November is Winter Weather Preparedness Month in Illinois

SPRINGFIELD — Frosty tem-peratures have already destroyed the blooms on many summer plants, a sure sign that winter weather isn’t far away. While it’s not yet time to start shovel-ing snow, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) and the National Weather Service (NWS) are encouraging people to begin preparing now for extreme cold, snow and ice.

IEMA and the NWS will high-light winter weather prepared-ness throughout November as part of their annual Winter Weather Preparedness campaign.

“In Illinois, it’s a question of when snow, ice and sub-zero temperatures will hit, not if they will occur,” said IEMA Direc-tor Jonathon Monken. “Getting caught unprepared may not be just inconvenient, it could be dangerous. Now’s the time to take a few minutes to put togeth-er your home and vehicle emer-gency supply kits and review the steps you should take to stay safe during hazardous win-ter weather.”

According to the NWS, there were eight deaths related to extreme cold temperatures nationwide in calendar year

2012. That number is signifi-cantly lower than the 10-year national average of 27 fatalities. All of the 2012 cold-related fatal-ities occurred outdoors, includ-ing three deaths in Illinois.

Since 1995, 134 fatalities relat-ed to cold temperatures have occurred in Illinois, making it the second-leading cause of weather-related deaths in Illinois in the past 18 years.

“There are several dangerous health conditions that can occur in winter weather,” said Illinois Department of Public Health Director Dr. LaMar Hasbrouck. “It’s important to watch for signs of being too cold or over exertion. Hypothermia, when a person’s body temperature drops below 95 degrees Fahrenheit, can occur both outdoors and indoors and can be fatal. Frostbite, when skin becomes stiff and numb, can cause tissue damage. And watch for signs of over exertion, such as chest pain, when shoveling snow. Know the warning signs of dangerous cold weather health conditions in order to stay safe and healthy during the winter.”

To help Illinois residents pre-pare for winter, IEMA, the NWS and the American Red Cross

developed a winter weather pre-paredness guide that covers win-ter weather terms and tips for staying safe at home, in the car and at school. The guide is avail-able on the Ready Illinois web-site at www.Ready.Illinois.gov or by calling 217-785-9925.

“Preparing well in advance of winter weather is really the best way to cope when snow, ice and cold temperatures affect us,” said Chris Miller, Warning Coor-dination Meteorologist with the NWS office in Lincoln.

“Now is the time to prepare your vehicle and house for win-ter conditions. Make sure you have blankets, non-perishable food, boots, extra clothing and other items in your car to ride out the storm in case you are stranded or waiting for a tow. At home, make sure you have enough essential items to ride out a storm, in some cases with-out power, for three days at the very least.”

For more information about winter weather preparedness, including the Weathering Winter guide from the Illinois Depart-ment of Public Health, visit the Ready Illinois website at www.Ready.Illinois.gov.

Seniors, Medicare & Obamacare

Q:A:

Does the Affordable Care Act (ACA), ObamaCare affect me as a Senior? Does it change my Medicare benefits?

Yes, the ACA, ObamaCare, does affect Seniors, but only in a positive way. And the changes it makes

to Medicare are increased benefits! You get more preventive services, for less. Medicare now covers certain preventive services, like mammograms or colonoscopies, without charging you for the Part B coinsurance or deductible. You also can get a free yearly “Wellness” visit. The Annual Enrollment Period ends December 7th. To ensure you are in the right Medicare Plan for you call today Mont at: 815-721-9770. There is no obligation. Time is running out.

Christkindl Markt planned for Saturday

PRINCETON — The fifth annual Christkindl Markt (German Christ-mas Market) will run from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at Open Prairie United Church of Christ, 25 E. Marion St. (behind the Apollo Theater). It has become a popular feature of the Princeton Main Street Christmas Walk.

The Christkindl Markt offers unique hand-crafted gifts, traditional German treats and an international cookie bazaar with a wide selec-tion of cookies inspired by countries around the world. Children are invited to decorate and take home their very own gingerbread house, the market’s free chil-dren’s activity. All dona-tions to the “Ginger-bread House” project will go to the local Buddy Bags program.

At the market entrance, coffee, hot chocolate and hot mulled cider, along with Ger-man stollen, lebkuchen, strudel and pretzels, will be served all day. As in previous years, Father Christmas will be on hand to greet visitors.

Locally-created repur-posed items, ceramics and other original art-work are among the offerings at this year’s market. There will also

be fair trade coffees, chocolates and olive oil, as well as frozen home-made entrees (breakfast casseroles, lasagnas), helpful to have for the holidays. The Princeton High School German Club will once again be selling German Advent calendars.

From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., the market will once again offer a German Brathaus lunch, featur-ing brats, franks, sauer-kraut, cabbage rolls and homemade potato soup.

Admission to the Christkindl Markt is free. The Open Prairie building is completely accessible. For more information, call Open Prairie UCC at 815-872-5150.

Homemade holidays

Eight steps to perfect holiday cookies(BPT) — The time-hon-

ored popularity of holiday cookie baking remains strong even in today’s grab-and-go society.

“Most of us are look-ing for ways to simplify the holiday hubbub, and focus on activities that truly have meaning for our families,” says Ginny Bean, publisher of Gin-ny’s catalog and Ginnys.com. Bean, who fondly recalls baking holiday cookies with her mother and her three sons, offers the following easy tips for your own holiday cookie baking tradition.

• Get organized. Read the recipe thoroughly. Gather your ingredients before even turning on the stove to make sure that you haven’t forgot-ten anything that would require an unanticipated trip to the store.

• Keep it simple. Bean recommends starting with this good, basic dough recipe and adding different ingredients to customize the taste and texture to personal pref-erences:

Cream 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar until fluffy.

Add 2 eggs and 1 tea-spoon vanilla and beat

until well mixed.In separate bowl, whisk

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon bak-ing soda together, then add slowly to creamed mixture, beating until combined.

“There’s almost no end to what you can do to this dough,” says Bean. “Get creative and experiment with different mix-ins like lemon peel, pumpkin pie spice, even instant cof-fee, or substitute toffee or peppermint chips for traditional chocolate and butterscotch.”

• Use the right fat. Some cookie recipes only achieve their best flavor and texture with butter. Hopefully, those recipes will specify “butter only; no substitutes.” Recipes calling for butter or mar-garine will produce good results with either, as long as you use a marga-rine that contains at least 80 percent vegetable oil.

Check the nutrition label. The margarine should have 100 calories per tablespoon. Marga-rines with less than 80 percent vegetable oil have high water content and can result in tough cook-ies that spread excessive-ly, stick to the pan, or don’t brown well.

• Measure accurately. Metal or plastic measur-ing cups are intended for dry ingredients such as flour and sugar. When measuring flour, stir it in the canister to lighten it and then gently spoon into a dry measuring cup and level the top with the straight edge of a knife.

Glass or plastic cups with spouts are meant only for liquids. If you use a liquid measuring cup for flour, you’re likely to get an extra tablespoon or more of flour per cup, enough to make cookies dry.

• Chill dough properly. The chilling time given in a recipe is the optimum time for easy rolling and shaping. If you need to speed up chilling, wrap the dough and place it in the freezer. Twenty minutes of chilling in the freezer is equal to about one hour in the refrigera-tor.

• Use a powerful mixer. An electric stand mixer is the best way to mix heavy cookie dough. With a handheld mixer, you’ll probably end up needing to stir in flour by hand, which can be a nightmare.

• Choose the right cookie sheets. Look for shiny, heavy-gauge cookie

sheets with very low or no sides. Dark cookie sheets can cause cookie bottoms to overbrown, and cook-ies won’t bake evenly in a pan with an edge.

Insulated cookie sheets tend to yield pale cook-ies with soft centers. If you use them, don’t bake cookies long enough to brown on the bottom because the rest of the cookie may get too dry.

Nonstick cookie sheets let you skip the greas-ing step. But the dough may not spread as much, resulting in thicker, less crisp cookies. Unless specified otherwise, a light greasing with short-ening or quick spray with nonstick spray coating is adequate for most reci-pes.

• Know your oven. Experiment with the tem-perature of your oven. If your oven typically cooks items faster than the reci-pe calls for, adjust accord-ingly. Don’t bake cookies for too long. They should be light brown around the edges and look a lit-tle underdone when they come out. Keep in mind that cookies will continue to cook from the heat of the cookie sheet after you remove them from the oven.

Cool the cookies on the cookie sheet initially and then transfer them to a wire rack once they can be lifted with a spatula without breaking them. Once they are cooled completely, you can deco-rate them or store direct-

ly in an airtight container.To browse hundreds of

Hometown (town you currently live in): DePue.

Family: father: Alan, mother: Melissa, brother: Grant, sister: Macy.

Sports: Volleyball.Favorite sport and why:

Volleyball is my favorite sport because it is the only sport I play and so I love spending my time playing.

Likes: Spending time with my family and friends, watching foot-ball, and shopping.

Dislikes: Cold weather, vegeta-bles, and cleaning my room.

Person with the greatest influ-ence on my athletic career (and why): My mom, because she taught me most of what I know about the game and she spends most of her time traveling to and from club tournaments with me, making sure I get where I need to go. She is very supportive and is at all of my games.

Person with the greatest influ-ence in my life (and why): Many people have great influences on

my life, but my big brother, Grant, has always set a great example for me, showing that hard work pays off.

If stranded on a deserted island, I would have my: cell phone.

Last song I listened to: “Hey pretty girl” by Kip Moore.

People would be surprised to know: I go hunting with my dad.

I stay home to watch: Grey’s Anatomy.

When I need luck for a big game, I: go to Taco Bell with Sam (Whalen), order the usual and sit in the same booth every time.

The funniest person I’ve ever met (and why): My dad, because he always has a joke for every-thing and they always catch me off guard.

What they’ll say about me at school after I graduate: “The hall-ways are pretty quiet this year.”

Most unforgettable moment: When my brother surprised me, came home from college, and showed up at my Senior Night game.

Ultimate sports fantasy: Play volleyball for Penn State.

What I would like to do in life: Become a pediatrician.

Three words that best describe myself: Outgoing, determined, and happy.
