PROTECTING YOUR HEART

Casserole Cooking —Make Two, Freeze One

Today’s smart shopper knows how important a freezer can be in getting the most for your food dollar. It allows you to buy meat and other items on special, helps you preserve produce from your own garden and aids in avoiding leftovers by packaging foods to fit your family’s needs. The freezer can also be a big timesaver. Instead of cooking one meal at a time, cook two and put one in your freezer. Most casseroles freeze very well if they are wrapped properly. Also, preparing less expensive casseroles (as opposed to quick, but more expensiveentrees) at your leisure lets you save money in the long run. When freezing casseroles, line the pan with aluminum foil, fill with food and wrap well. Freeze until solid, then remove from the pan. Freeze prepared food as soon as possible and store at a temperature of 0 F. or lower. Be sure to label and date all packages in your freezer to facilitate later use Casseroles can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. Our Tuna Lasagne is a unique variation of an old favorite that’s perfect for freezing. Packed with nutritious foods (tuna, cheese, milk, spinach) this wholesome and delicious dish will soon be a household favorite.

Old Timer Tells Os The Past Cliff Phillips, born in 1886, in Oregon Township, has resided at the homestead most of his life. His parents moved south of Koontz Lake from North Liberty with oxen pulling their wagon. When he was 14 he had his first pony and wagon. His father worked at the Koontz Lake mill. Mr. Phillips taught school in 1906 in Oregon Township and was paid 535.00 a month, and school was only in session for six months then. He taught for three years and then was married in 1909 and moved to South Bend where he obtained a job until World War I when he was laid off so he taught school again. Mr. Phillips, a spry and cheerful man, remembers three mills at

Koontz Lake, the first two being w ashed away and the other burned His father was paid by Mr. Samuel Koontz. Sr., in gold. Mr. Koontz was a big man, he stood six foot tali and weighed 325 pounds. Payday was every six months. Mr. Koontz was the father of 17 children and the oldest, Samuel Koontz, Jr., born in 1844. Samuel Jr., was given the management of the mill at the age of 16 until he was in his 80’s. He died when he was 89. Mr. Phillips recalls when he was eight or nine years old he accom panied Samuel, Sr., in his buggy, to Walkerton so he could help him unload the ’’White Kose Flour’’ that was ground at the mill. They also made a regular tour going to LaPorte, North Liberty and Plymouth selling the flour and were always paid in gold. These trips were made everyother week. When a farmer would bring in his grain to be ground at the mill, one-eighth of the grain was given to the mill in payment for the grinding — no money exchanged hands. A man coming from Grovertown with a mule took a day in travel and would then stay overnight at the Koontz home where hot food was always at hand, as well as a cot to sleep on. Mr. Phillips, 92, winters in Florida, but enjoys the summers here when he still works a few hours each day training horses, near Hamlet. Quite a man! MARRIED Cindy Gillham, Walkerton, and Donald Tompkins, Mill Creek, were united in marriage in a lovely backyard double-ring ceremony officiated by the Rev. Robert King, of Knox. The bride, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Devon Gillham, Walkerton, was given in marriage by her grandfather. George Gillham, of Fish Lake. She wore a long pale blue gown with matching hat and carried a bouquet of fall flowers surrounded with yellow roses. Serving as maid of honor was Janice Browlee, Walkerton, cousin of the bride. She wore a deep blue floral gown and carried a bouquet of fall flow ers. The bridegroom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Tompkins. Mill Creek. Bruce Hensley, Walkerton, was best man. The wedding march was played by Mrs. Thelma Hostetler. Mill Creek, and Greg Hopkins, Rensselear, sang "Come Walk Thro This World With Me." An old-fashion-ed trellis with a built in love seat decorated with white wedding bells and fall flowers created the setting for the ceremony. Immediately following food and refreshments including a threetiered wedding cake baked and decorated by Vickie Brownlee, was served to the 50 guests attending. The wedding and reception was given by Mr. and Mrs. Lynn Brownlee, Walkerton, aunt and uncle of the bride.
