Summer

Cool summer recipes

As the summer temperatures soar, one of the last things anyone wants to do is add to the heat by firing up the oven or slaving over a hot stove. Just eating a hot meal may not be an appealing thought when the thermometer shoots up past the 80 degree mark. Salads are cool alternatives for summer meals. Not only are they healthy, but they are often much easier to prepare than warm foods. The following are recipes which not only require minimal time over the stove, but also are cool going down. They should be stored in the refrigerator and are good at meal time, or as a snack.

Video Review By JOAN KLINE In the past several years there has been an explosion of video stores, making hundreds of movies available to every family. Many times the consumer has no idea what sort of movie he or she is taking home. It can be a traumatic shock to youngsters who discover, too late, a scene of graphic violence in the middle of their kiddy show. An unexpected vivid sexual scene can be very embarrassing in the middle of a gathering of friends. As the mother of three teenagers, Mrs. Kline is presenting a moderate view on a number of films which are available in area stores. Who's Harry Crumb A beautiful heiress is kidnapped. Her frantic father seeks aid from the best private detectives available Crumb and Crumb. The agency calls in its special agent Harry Crumb. Our brave hero bears absolutely no resemblance to 007. Harry bumbles his way from clue to clue. What Harry doesn’t know is that he is being set up as a patsy. His boss doesn't really want the missing girl found. John Candy in many disguises leads us on a hilarious chase of the crooks. Surveillance centers on the victim’s lovely young stepmother. Annie Potts, who is willing to sacrifice anyone for the money she desires. Miraculously Harry solves the mystery and the crooks go to jail, then we are left wondering whether he really accidentally tripped over the crooks or was his confused manner just another of his brilliant disguises. Mississippi Burning Stark reality grabs us from the opening moments of this drama. Three civil rights workers trying to register negroes to vote are missing. No remains can be found and no one is talking. FBI agents fearing the men are already dead arrive in the small Mississippi town to find them. . This film was shot in the town where the events actually happened over 20 years ago. As we watch in horror the gruesome story unfolds. Whites set out to teach their uppity negroes that they aren’t having any of this segregation nonsense that the Yankees are talking about. If you try to vote, you will be sorry It is an example of racism at its worst. This story draws the real story out of the headlines we read back in the '6os and lets us see what really went on. It isn’t one of America s finest hours. The violence will make this a questionable film for younger children. z PONTOONS FOR RENT Fishing Boats - With Or Without Motors MOCK’S BOAT RENTALS WACO DRIVE - LAKE WAWASEE PHONE (219) 457-3355 VISIT OUR SNACK BAR Worth Waking Up For /Q7\ Breakfast Happy MeaT Any Breakfast 111 Sandwich, Hash J Browns And Milk With Your Favorite Collectible McDonald's Available Only At: SYRACUSE - 1604 S.

COOL COOKING — In the dog days of summer, no one really wants to spend a lot of time cooking on the stove or in the oven. Salads are becoming popular not only because they are healthy, but because for the most part they are easy. Shown mixing up a summer salad is Sharon Slabaugh of Syracuse.

Milford residents —

Enjoy walking in early a.m.

Bv MARK HUFFMAN I Staff Writer While much of Milford is still in bed at 5 a.m., a healthy part of it is pounding the concrete. Some may call it crazed to be roaming the streets at the break of dawn but a growing contingent is finding it both healthy and relaxing. “I’ve been walking about eight years and it’s great mental, as well as physical, therapy,” reasons Marilyn Brown, who takes a three to four mile trek on the outskirts of town at 6 a.m. every morning. “It gives you energy for the rest of the day and gets rid of a groggy head and the stiffness you’d normally feel in the morning.” Brown begins her walk at the home of walking partner Eudora Hurd, traveling a route on the west side of Milford. “The only lime we don’t walk is when it's foggy, icy or under 10 degrees or if we have family commitments,” Brown contends. However, such instances are rare, with the duo regularly passing Milford Elementary School at about 6:45 a.m. Hurd regularly carries a “doggie biscuit” to ward away unwelcome visitors during the walks. “If you’re going to be a walker you have to carry one," she claims. Margie Brooks is a relative newcomer to the activity, joining her group of four at 5:45 a m. and finishing about 6:30 a.m. “I just started about one month ago for the exercise,” Brooks says, noting that her group walks the perimeter of Milford. Having delivered the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette in the morning for several years, Brooks had no trouble adjusting to the group’s time frame. “I would see a lot of people walking when I delivered the paper and finally decided that I should join some of them,” she remarks. Jean Treesh is one of the walkers Brooks joined. A veteran among those traversing the streets, Treesh started walking about 10 years ago. “It turns you on in the morning so you don’t feel grumpy and gives you a lot of time for insight,” says the former town board president. Treesh and her group usually

walk three miles. “I have much more energy and enjoy the time with my friends. We see a lot of people walking down to the school house, ” she adds. Russell Ruch may be one of those Treesh has seen, although many just catch him at the end of a one-mile walk since he starts at 4:45 a.m. “Most people go a little later but I have to be to work in Goshen at 7 a.m. so I go a bit earlier,” he says. Ruch started his daily jaunts after suffering a heart attack five years ago this month. “The doc-

I3NA r 1 i VJ .1 >ll z jM " W t v»0 |ußpF f FAMILIAR SIGHT — This trio of walkers was out for a jaunt on the west side of Milford Wednesday morning, joining a growing number of local residents who regularly walk one to five miles each morning.

tors told me when I came home that I should walk and I’ve been doing it ever since,’’ he says. Another Milford resident, Carol Speicher, has made walking a family affair. “I walk with my mother and sister,” she says, noting that the trio often takes a two-mile route. “We start at 6 a.m. and are usually done by about 6:50 a m. We have a couple different routes through town.” Speicher has been walking for two years, having been convinced of its benefits by her mother, who happens to be a nurse. “She’s 60

and we have trouble keeping up with her,” the younger Speicher admits, adding, “The walks make me .feel a lot better and it lets me catch up on things with my mother and sister.” Several other Milford residents have similar reasoning for waking up with the birds, with fitness combining with social opportunities to force them from the bedside. “I’d recommend it (walking) for everybody,” concludes RuCh, echoing the words of a growing number of Milford walkers.
