Either buy them pre-sliced, or better yet, buy a bagel slicer. *Marinate in the fridge. Harmful germs in marinade or food can multiply quickly at room temperature. *Nuke with care. Microwaves cause more injuries than any other kitchen de- vice. Let food cool a few minutes before removing and be careful touching a hot container or removing a cover. Allow scalding steam to escape. *Put a lid on it. If you’re frying, keep a lid nearby to smother a small grease fire. *Be dishwasher wise. Place utensils with the sharp end down. Let the machine cool before emptying to prevent burns. *Keep knives sharp. Dull knives are more dangerous than sharp ones because it takes more force to slice through food. That makes it more likely to lose control if the worn edge slips. *Chill out.

Mitts are mandatory! Don’t take glass dishes directly from the freezer to the oven, and never add liquid when a glass pan is piping hot. *Leave it unwashed. Contrary to what you may have heard, there’s no need to rinse meat, poultry or fish before cooking. Doing so can spread bacteria to your sink, counter tops and other kitchen surfaces. *Forgo the cooling-off period. Ill- ness-causing bacteria can grow in perish- able foods within 2 hours. Put leftovers in the refrigerator as soon as possible, even if they’re still warm. *Don’t stick to Teflon. Sure it makes cooking and cleanup easier, but pans coated with Teflon made before 2012 contain perfluorooctanoic acid, and stud- ies in lab animals have found exposure to these chemicals increase risk of certain cancers. *Beware of the bagel. Multiple save energy costs by setting the refrigera- tor and freezer at slightly higher tempera- tures, but you’ll be beckoning bacteria. Keep the refrigerator at 40 degrees, the freezer at 0 degrees. *Rinse all produce. Even if they’re prewashed, you should still give your fruits and veggies a cleaning. Use a brush to remove visible dirt and then rinse un- der running water. *Germ Magnets. Sponges should be zapped for 2 minutes in the microwave to clean. Faucet screens should be soaked in bleach solution to sanitize. Stove knobs should be removed if possible and washed in hot soapy water. Reprint from AARP Bulletin, April, 2016. You can contact I.V.

Blake On July 26, Eagle Point Library Director Charlene Prin- sen introduced the featured guest who’d speak for an hour. What an unexpected eye-opener! Local author and ver- satile herbal nutrition expert Dennis Ellingson enlightened his audience by sharing knowledge he’d garnered over 30 years of intensive study. He has also brought similar messages recently to capac- ity crowds of varied ages at several other libraries including Medford’s and Ashland’s. He cited the inspiration for his subject matter—a verse found in the Bible, “And God said, ‘behold I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food.’”(Genesis 1:29 ESV) Ellingson estimates the vast number of applicable plant varieties total about a million. “Wild herbs can be found any place in North America,” he noted. “What is the potential?“ He went on to explain that approximately three decades ago he suffered from high blood pressure, for which a physi- cian prescribed traditional medication. The meds triggered significant side effects. Since most homes and business offices lacked computer access back then, Ellingson’s ensuing research could have involved time-consuming challenges. But through diligent effort, he discovered then started eating berries from an English hawthorn tree. “And my blood pressure returned to normal,” he said. “Related to roses and apples, the hawthorn berries have also benefited some persons experiencing insomnia and heart problems.” Subsequent pursuits of herbs’ natural benefits resulted in his having authored several books on the subject so far. Among them are “God’s Healing Herbs” and “The Herb Guy’s Cook- book” (subtitled “Herbs A to Z”). “The recipes are simple,” he stated. One woman in the audience then asked, “What’s good for easing headaches?” “Pickled asparagus,” was Ellingson’s immediate reply. He went on to emphasize, however, that everyone’s different. “What works well for one person might not work for another. Sniffing the scent of a rosemary plant is believed to ‘spark your brain.’” He added that, “Rosemary loves Arizona’s cli- mate.” America’s west is, in Ellingson’s words, “Like a Garden of Eden—a top area for plants from apples to olives. But virtually anyplace you go; God has put something significant there.” Another audience member questioned potential dan- gers (such as poisons), in wild-growing plants. Ellingson then sheepishly admitted he once spotted what at first-glance resembled an abundance of mint growing along a lakeside bed. “If you sniff ‘stinging nettle,’” he acknowledged, “it will sting, and cause welts on your nose.” A third library patron questioned how he kept local deer families from devouring his plants. “The presence of rosemary and lavender generally dis- suades deer from entering your garden,” he replied. To appreciate the numerous benefits—anti-oxidants, vitamins and other virtues of plants, Ellingson’s books on that subject constitute “must-reads.” “God’s Healing Herbs” for instance, features concise sections listing 12 essential herbs for specific groups. One’s for seniors; another delineates essential herbs for men; yet another for women; and one for children. Find his books at the Illinois Valley News office, Amazon. com or Barnes & Noble. Community Bible Church Rusted and Ruined “Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.” Psalm 119:105 Many years ago as a young boy, I went into a sporting goods store with my dad. While he was making his purchases, I was wandering around the store looking about when my eyes fell upon a rusty, old gun that had been left in the fork of a tree, until the tree had grown around the barrel. It must have been stuck in the fork of that tree for a long, long time to arrive in that condition. I never asked my father about it, but I wished that I had – to see what the story was behind it. I have over the years thought about that gun and wondered about it. It certainly wasn’t doing its owner any good, except as a curiosity. I do believe there is an application that can be gained from that gun. Many people, if not most, have a Bible in their possession. Some read it occasionally, but few study it. The Bible is a book that needs to be studied and absorbed into our inner person. There is great truth in it, and I have found it to be a wonderful source of consolation and peace. But I am afraid that for many it just sits and gathers dust, not unlike that rusty gun. Read it, study it, and see if you are not blessed by it. See you Sunday.
