Penelope IN[0 WS by Mary Bruegger
Good Moining!
The Catholic Church Annual Bazaar was truly the best ever. It started very
slow and I for one was worried that the threat of rain might have made people
hesitate about coming, but Penelope's many loyal supporters began to show up
and the hall began to fill up with people enjoying a good meal of Barbecue,
beans, slaw, sauerkraut, potatoes, pickles and Mrs. Frances Novak treated me
to one of the dinners. Soon the hall was full and more were coming.
The serving went smoothly with the younger generation helping to refill
glasses of ice lea. They are being well trained. I certainly enjoyed my plate full
of good food. Then Mrs. Novak and 1 waited for the Auction. During the
seventeen years I worked at the Country Store 1 had never been at an Auction.
I admit 1 did not understand a word they were saying. But enough understood
to keep the Auction going long after closing hours. Some people got a special
delight listening to the Auctioneer. It was a little too much for me. Maybe
because it was a first time for me or it could have been the south breeze blowing
or the gnats who finally found me, I found myself getting drowsy. It was getting
warmer inspite of the breeze, so I decided to leave.
I met many interesting people and some cousins 1 was happy to see. It looked
as if people were really enjoying themselves and the crowd kept getting bigger
and bigger so there must have been a lot of people there.
A complete report will not be available for a little while, but the winners of
the prizes are as follows: Andy Holub - 25" Magnavox portable color TV w/
remote control, cable ready; Christine Doskocil - glider rocker; Robert Dudik
- AT&T Cordless Telephone Model 5320; David Westmoreland - 10-gallon
wet-dry vacuum; and Larry Lawson - Servess Broadcast Spreader. Congratu-
lations! Many thanks to Mike Sulak for buying the Bluebonnet painting by
Mary Bruegger. My greatest pleasure in painting is the hope that whoever owns
one of my paintings will enjoy it.
Tom Benryhill came by several days ago. He had been at the Couonwood
Cemetery and was shocked to find that thieves are busy. When he complained
to the sheriff in Hillsboro, he was told that there are cults who rob cemeteries
as part of their ritual. I told Tom that it would be a good idea if spooks would
get after them. There are enough criminals without adding grave-robbers to the
list. It is bad enough to think anyone would steal from the living, but to steal
from the dead is some kind of new low. It makes you wonder what is happening
in the world!
FINANCES
Begin Planning Now
For Secure Retirement
NeuslSA
(NU) - When it comes to money,
retirement can be the best of times
or the worst of times. Much depends
on how well you prepared for retire-
ment m the 30. 40 or more years
while you were working.
Many people fall short at retire-
ment because they failed to put aside
enough, early enough. So learn the
cardinal rule of a financially secure
retirement, which exjierts say is start
planning now. no matter how old
you are.
To do it right, the experts at
Founders Asset Management. Inc., a
Denver based mutual fund and in-
vestment management company , say
a retirement planning worksheet can
be a valuable tool. Here's how to put
one together:
— First, decide on the age at
which you plan to retire. A recent
survey showed, for example, that 31
percent of Americans hope to retire
bef ore age 60 and 20 percent of those
before age 55.
— Next, estimate your retirement
income from three sources — Social
Security benefits; employer pension
plans, plus Individual Retirement Ac-
counts and 401 (k) Plans, and in-
come from savings, investments, an
nuities and other assets. You should
also estimate earnings. For 1991. the
amount you can earn without loss of
social Security benefits is $7,080 a
year under 65. up to $9,720 from
age 65 to 70 and any amount after
age 70.
The total of these amounts gives
an estimated annual retirement in
come, but it's best to anticipate in-
flation and determine the estimated
real annual income when you retire
Using a 5 percent inflation factor, $ I
saved now is worth just 36 cents in
20 years.
Don't Panic
When you see the effect of infla-
tion. you will probably wonder if
you can ever afford io retire. But
remember that Social Security ben
efits and some pension plans include
cost-of-living increases Also, you
are likely to find that your expenses
decrease when you retire.
Planning your investment portfo-
lio is an essential part of your over-
all retirement planning and should
be carefully tailored to your situa-
tion. It makes a big difference if you
start planning at 25 or 45, or if you
will need $20,000 a year or $ 100,1X10.

ditional retirement planning tips as
well as other financial information,

GRILLING
THE RIGHT WAY
Food trends are fickle, but one
thing seems certain: Americans will
always relish foods grilled over burn-
ing coals. Grilling is one of this
country’s favorite cooking tech-
niques.
According to Johnathan Robinette,
executive chef for the California
Culinary Academy (CCA), the re-
nowned professional school for chef
training in San Francisco, “Grilling
is a dry-heat cooking method that uses
high heal generated from below to
cook foods quickly. Grilling enhances
the natural flavor of so many foods—
fish, meats, vegetables—and the
subtle, smoky taste is universally
appealing."
Chef Robinette is one of the CCA's
chef/instructors who appears on
Cooking at the Academy, a new 13-
part cooking series produced by pub
lie television station KQED in San
Francisco and underwritten by Braun
Inc. Anyone who has ever dreamed
of attending a professional cooking
school now can get a taste of culinary
training at home. The show is mod-
eled, in part, after the California Cu-
linary Academy’s standard curricu-
lum.
Here Robinette responds to some
of the most commonly asked ques-
tions on grilling and offers practical
advice for both the novice and sea-
soned “barbequer" alike.
Q: Every time I attempt to grill
fish, the fillet either dries out. falls
apart, or sticks to the grill. Any sug-
gestions’?
A: Some fish are more suitable for
grilling than others because of their
oil content. Oily fish best for grilling
are swordfish, mackerel, trout, pom -
pano, salmon, tuna, halibut, catfish
and eel.
Q: When I grill large cuts of meat,
I frequently burn the outside but
undercook the inside. What am I do-
ing wrong?
A: When grilling large cuts of
meat, such as an entire tenderloin or
rib roast, grilling becomes a two-step
process. First, you need to start out
with intense, direct heat to brown the
meat. Then the heat must be reduced
and the meat moved away from di-
rect heat to ensure that the interior
gets cooked evenly. Small cuts of
meat, like steaks, may be cooked us
ing just direct heat.
Q: I like the smoky flavor mes-
quite charcoal gives to grilled foods,
but every time I use mesquite I burn
the food. How can I avoid this?
A: Mesquite charcoal burns at al-
most twice the temperature of char
coal briquettes. Therefore, you should
keep your food on the grill a shorter
time or adjust the position of the grid
so the food cooks at a greater dis
lance from the charcoal. You can also
use indirect heat, moving the food

Executive Chef Johnathan
Robinette uses the Braun hand
blender with mincer/chopper at-
tachment to prepare a tantalizing
Polynesian-style marinade, ideal
for both chicken and fish.
off the direct heat of the coals.
For those stuck in a rut, grilling
the sarite foods over and over, Chef
Robinette offers a tantalizing change
of pace—a Polynesian-style marinade
that will complement both chicken
and fish. This marinade is featured in
a companion cookbook based on the
Cooking at the Academy television
series. The cookbook, also called
Cooking at the Academy, sells for
$ 12.95 and is available in major book-
stores or by calling 1-800-441-3000.
Local television listings will provide
information on the series' schedule.

pieces.

time saver. Its easy to use and easy
to clean.
4. Combine the chopped onion,
green pepper and pineapple in a
large bowl. Using a food processor

gredients for about one minute. Be
careful not to liquify the mixture.

Michael is the son of Raymond and
Connie Lucien.
Robert and I drove by the Birome
gin on Sunday and they were in full
operation ginning. A lot of modules
on the yard. It will be weeks before all
of it is ginned off. There is a lot of
cotton this year. But with all the show-
ers of rain it's difficult for the farmers
to get it out of the fields. Seeing all
that cotton on Sunday at the gin made
me think of how hard we had to work
back 50 or 55 years ago pulling a sack
to pick it.

the weather, which is every bit as
yucky as the news was!"

The Penelope Catholic Church Picnic turned out quite wel 1 (despite the heat)
this year. Folks came from various places. Mrs. Dorothy Polasek's sister, f ana

friends and enjoys reading the Birome News so very much. She said it was a
