Baking pays off for Milford woman

Recenty placing three bread entries and a cookie recipe as a first-time entrant in competition at the state fair is Mrs. Willard (Sue) Scheiler, r 1 Milford. Mrs. Scheiler said, “I felt I wouldn’t be happy till I tried it once.” So, she spent two days baking and another day delivering her baked goods to Indianapolis. Her basic, but b added to, pineapple cookie placed second in refrigerator cookies and her whole wheat bread, second, yeast breads; white sourdough bread, third; and French sourdough, first; to capture the sweapstakes in sourdough “It’s really not worth it,” she commented. "It’s an ego trip, if ybu're lucky enough to win.’’ She said she will not enter the state fair again, as it is too time consuming to do so. She added, however, more women from Kosciusko County should try it, because she knows there are a lot of good cooks in the county. Mrs Scheiler entered county fair competition during the last two years and took grand champion both years for her sourdough products. She thought it was just beginner's luck. Baking is her therapy and her idea of a perfect day is one spent — baking. "I think it's an obsession more than a love.” she explains She has been known to bake so many items that it is hard to shut her freezer door. “To my kids," she says, “storebought cookies are a treat.” She began baking as a 4-H’er, in which she participated for 10 years Today, daughter Julie. 12, is a 4-H'er, who is beginning to bake. Mrs Scheiler encouraged her to try baking and Julie found she doesn’t like it. But, her mother says, she has an interest in crafts Mrs Scheiler believes one of the other two children. Clark 11. or Stacey, seven may develop an interest in baking The recipes Mrs Scheiler uses are her own and those she has

Husband, Will, will eat any dish at least once, so Mrs. Scheiler is usually experimenting with new recipes, including foreign foods Her refrigerator pineapple cookie, which captured second, she added maraschino cherries, coconut and nuts. “I think it’s a good cookie and a different cookie.” Mrs Scheiler says.

book entirely devoted to sourdough. “And it’s got such a tang,” she adds, describing the taste. The sourdough begins with a sourdough mixture one feeds ingredients to and keeps inside the refrieerator. Once, a babysitter dished up the mixture, thinking it was tapioca pudding, and served it to the Sheiler children. One bite revealed the truth. The only baked goods which can be made more inexpensively than homemade is cakes, Mrs. Scheiler says. Cookies are less expensive when made and decorated cakes are especially economical After revealing the price of a small one purchased commercially, she said, “the decorated cakes are “too time consuming and too messy” to make. And after several decorating classes, she doesn't like to make them. Breads and rolls are also inexpensive, if made from scratch. "It doesn’t tempt me to eat it.” she said after she makes an item. She will, of course, if it is a new recipe. But after making 500 rolls, her appetite disappears "I love to try other people’s,” she says, to find out how it is made and to try new ideas. Around Christmas time last year, she began advertising her baked goods. “It developed into a bigger thing than I anticipated," she said.,"To me. it's satisfying. I can work at home with the kids.” she added.

schools in its Indiana territory. Club President Gerald W. Cavanagh welcomed the support of Gov. Bowen and urged that all motorists exercise caution when children are near the street or road — not only on the first week of school — but throughout the entire year. Cavanagh stressed the need for parental responsibility for child pedestrian safety. "Parents must educate their children in traffic safety, especially in the fall when many youngsters are attending school for the first time," he said. Cavanagh said that children should be shown the best route to and from school. He said it’s the parents responsibility to teach youngsters to be cautious and safety conscious pedestrians. He said .they should be taught to cross the street only at places attended by members of the School Safety Patrol, an adult crossing guard or a poticeman.

’Annie' closes season as winner

By BILL SPURGEON They’re closing the season with a real winner at the Enchanted Hills barn theater, east of Wawasee. The show, long a sentimental favorite with many theatergoers, is Irving Berlin’s "Annie Get Your Gun.’* Though the play dates to the middle 19405, the nature of the subject matter — the story of Annie Oakley, the waif from Darke County, Ohio, who became one of the world’s best rifle shots and who traveled for years with the Buffalo Bill Cody Wild West Shows — is such that it will likely never become dated. Neither, of course, will the music, become old: Berlin appears to have tried to outdo himself with this one. If you’ve ever sung, whistled, danced to or just listened to “Doin’ What Comes Natur’lly,” “That Girl That I Marry.” “You Can’t Get a Man With a Gun,” “There’s No Business Like Show Business,” “They Say It’s Wonderful,” “Lost in His Arms,” “I Got the Sun in the Morning,” and “Old Fashioned Wedding,” “Annie” is the show for you. "Annie” happens also to be a sentimental favorite of this

Queen contest memories will be remembered

“It was something I’ll remember and Walter, too,” said Mrs. Herbert Baumgartner of the experiences she and escort Walter Ritter, both of Milford, had at the state fair last Friday. Mrs. Baumgartner represented Milford and area two in the 1977 Indiana Senior Queen contest at the fair. She represented Milford in local competition at the county fair; which she won, along with the opportunity to compete in the state contest. The day began with the queens and their escorts meeting in a lounge area at IUPUI, across the street from the fairgrounds. Later, a five-minute interview with the judges was next. Mrs. Baumgartner said the woman who was chosen second runnerup was so nervous, she comforted her before her interview. The main points of the questioning were what MAD (Milford Area Development) was, and about Mrs. Baumgartner’s involvement in community work, which dates back to the 1940’5. The Warsaw Community High School Band lead the parade of state cars which carried the 15 queens to the fair and down the midway. In Mrs. Baumgartner’s car was Mrs. Ron Baumgartner, driver; her children Cris and Jennifer and her mother, Mrs. R. E. Slay ba ugh. The contestants and escorts had a luncheon back on the campus, before entering the senior citizen’s building, where the program began. Reka Matthews, Franklin, the 1976 Senior Queen viewed ■ the proceedings from her throne. Each contestant, in order of their area, made a short speech and answered three questions, drafted on the theme “Yesterday, Today and Tommorrow for the Senior Citizens.” After each contestant participated, they were presented with a citation from the commission on aging, signed by Governor Otis R Bowen, and presented personally. The citations say: “Her poise.

reviewer: Back in the 19th century hirgreat-great-aunt and great-great uncle were operating what was then known as the “county poor farm” in Darke County, Ohio, between Arcanum and Greenville, and it was they who “took in” the real Annie Oakley, her brother and two sisters, when they were orphaned. The success of “Annie Get Your Gun” depends on Annie herself, and in Becky Borczon, who delighted audiences at Enchanted Hills in four previous summer seasons, the local production has the key to success. Miss Borczon has returned this year just for this play, and she handles the role with just the right balance of sweet country ignorance and show-business smart, in singing and speaking scenes alike. Also back for the 1977 finale at Enchanted Hills is T. Doyle Leverett, a 1976 favorite, cast this time as Frank Butler, the marksman who finds he can’t, and then can, handle Annie. Miss Borczon and Mr. Leverett perform well together, and it’s no wonder they had to add additional performances this week. “Annie” is a big show, and it’d

personality, personal appearance and achievements in the field of community service and volunteer work exemplify the attributes of an active and concerned woman of the sixtyplus age group. Through her activities as a representative of older Hoosiers in her community, she has re-emphasized to all citizens of Indiana the dignity, special beauty and invaluable contribution to daily living of all older citizens in the state and throughout the nation.” Mrs. Bowen, wife of the

be tough to give adequate credit to all who earn it. The current Enchanted Hills company’s talent and enthusiasm is quite evident, and a number of local faces also happily appear on stage. Director Doug Stark has obviously earned a “well done,” along with orchestra director Kenneth W. Strieby and his crew, choreographer Mary K. Perkins (who knows how to keep folks moving, and moving well), technical director Bruce Graham, and all the folks who had a hand in the costuming, scenic design, construction and lighting. If the last show of the summer season is an indication of the degree of enthusiasm we can expect next year at Enchanted Hills, we can hardly wait. The Summer of 1977 will be a hard one to beat, but we’ll wager the group will be working hard at it, and they’ll have to set their sights high to beat “Annie.” Final performances of “Annie Get Your Gun” will be at 8 p.m., Wednesday (tonight) through Friday, and at 8:30 p.m. Saturday.

Saberton, Evansville, was chosen the 1977 queen on the basis of personality, personal appearance, personal achievements and the impromptu answer to the questions. » A reception was then attended by the queen contestants and escorts. “It was, I’d say, a rewarding experience,” Mrs. Baumgartner said.
