Happy Camp News: by Judy Bushy
Last Monday on our last trip
out of town we stopped by Salmon
River Outpost for hot coffee on a
rainy day. When we were ready to go
our ‘89 Toyota pickup wouldn’t start,
so we greatly appreciated the help to
get it going. The stop was worth it as
we found the neatest little book. It’s
delightful! It is “Linda Lookout” and
it is published by Naturegraph right
here in Happy Camp! The book has
such fun illustrations by Keith Lundy
Hoofnagle. A portion of the book
is the original 1965 edition reprint.
There’s lots of interesting information
about the life of a lookout. Of
which some of the “Lookout Lingo”
safety tips, dealing with the public
and, of course, the wildlife. Vinson
Brown accepted the book back
when Naturegraph was operating
out of Healdsburg, California. Now
Barbara Brown has put out the 50th
anniversary edition supplemented
by Vintage Lookout cartoons and
memorabilia. Barbara picks out
the best books as we all love “Dear
Mad’m”! Since the Siskiyou Pioneer
2017 annual was on lookouts and
Nancy Hood retired, this must be the
year of the lookouts!
There is a lookout near the
Oregon border that a friend and her
husband stayed at awhile and the
photos they shared were tremendous.
While not for the faint of heart, they
had a great time!
My aunt, actually two of my
mothers sisters, Eva and Trudy, lived
in Ocala, Florida. My children really
thought we should visit them right
there by Disney World, even if they
were in a nursing home. Trudy got
in trouble for running into people
with her motorized transportation
and moved to another nursing home
and eventually to Minnesota. Well,
septuagents can be active, as Mike
Huckabee said of Samuel Williams of
Ocala, Florida. Samuel Williams “was
in an Internet café when two young
armed robbers came in brandishing
a pistol and a baseball bat. They
probably never imagined that the
71-year-old Williams, who was just
sipping coffee and using his laptop,
was also a concealed carry permit
holder with a .38-caliber handgun,
which he proceeded to whip out faster
than Marshal Dillon and put to use.
The thugs will survive, but they’ll
probably never again assume that
septuagenarian web geeks are easy
targets”.
It’s been many years since
I’ve wondered what to do for
Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is that
national holiday which is coming
up next week. In recent years, since
one daughter is in Albuquerque
and another in Loomis, and our son
usually goes south too, we have gone
to the community dinner to take
photos of the volunteers making the
dinner and see friends and neighbors
who come out for the dinner that we
haven’t seen for awhile! This year will
be different. The Family Resource
Center usually put on the dinner, and
they aren’t in Happy Camp anymore.
That doesn’t change the holiday much
for us. We hope to visit the girls at a
different time and see the grandkids
too! That’s always a time we are
thankful for!
Turkeys are on sale, and there
are always plenty of leftovers to last
awhile. We have our memories of
over thirty years when we did have
a child or four children, then down
to the last one at home again. At the
time, it seemed those days would last
forever, but the children really grow
up fast. Now for the next thirty years
we have new things to be thankful
for on Thanksgiving! We have rather
good health, and providence meets
out needs. Besides living in some of
the most beautiful scenery on two
scenic byways that make it wonderful
to be outdoors and enjoy fun with the
family is a great blessing,
Doreen Mitchell was mentioning
that 22 year old, Kristopher Martin’s
memorial was to be Saturday at 1
p.m. at the Grange with a potluck to
follow. This community is utterly
awesome when it comes to helping
out in time of need. Dan Effman and
others raised enough money to pay for
the final expenses and a few extras. To
be discussed is the possibility of some
type of memorial at one of the parks,
such as a bench or something. Much
more important than the surroundings
we live in are the wonderful way that
the people along the Klamath River
help out when there is a need. It is
truly heartwarming and makes one so
very thankful for our Happy Camp
neighbors!
In two weeks the Happy Camp
Grange will kick off the holiday
season with their Holiday Fair! It
sounds like tables are going fast
and there will be a good array of
the homemade special things that
our Happy Camp neighbors make,
jewelry, custom soaps and lotions
and yummy food. You won’t want to
miss the delicious soup for lunch and
homemade bread. Be sure and mark
your calendar and be sure not to miss
this event!
Wholesome Eating: by Laura Mancuso
It’s Turkey Time! Every year I wonder
what to do with my turkey leftovers, so this
year I came up with a new casserole dish. I
like to use the turkey breast for a more heart
healthy dish, but dark or white meat will work
(3/1/2 ounces of turkey breast without skin has
4 grams of fat while turkey dark meat without
skin has 8 grams of fat). I also choose to use
fresh garden herbs instead of salt to make it
more heart healthy.
Sassy Turkey Rice Casserole
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil
1/3 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cup of low sodium chicken
broth
2 cups low-fat milk
2 cups cut-up cooked turkey
1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup diced green pepper
1/2 cup diced red pepper
1 small diced jalapeno *optional
1/2 cup diced white onion
2 stalks of sliced celery
1 tablespoon of diced fresh sage
(or 1 teaspoon of dried sage)
2 teaspoon fresh thyme (or 1
teaspoon of dried)
2 cloves crushed garlic
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare and
measure all vegetables. Heat up oil in large
skillet on medium heat and add all vegetables
and sauté until celery is soft. Set aside. In a
large saucepan melt butter over medium high
heat and stir in flour and pepper. Cook, stirring
constantly, until bubbly; remove from heat. Stir
in milk and broth. Heat to boil and stir 1 minute.
Stir in all remaining ingredients including
vegetables. Pour ingredients into an ungreased
9 x 2 baking dish. Bake 30 - 40 minutes until
bubbly. Let it cool for 10 minutes and then
enjoy!
Some other turkey leftover ideas I have:
turkey enchiladas, turkey egg salad, turkey
vegetable soup, turkey tacos, turkey springrolls
and turkey tetrazzini (pasta). Have fun with
those turkey leftovers and have a happy
Thanksgiving!
