Santa’s back in town! Santa Claus is making his rounds this weekend with stops in several area communities. He’s starting his day with breakfast in Princeton, at 8:30 a.m. at the Bureau County Senior Center. Santa will stay in Princeton to be the guest of honor during the 1:30 p.m. Christmas parade sponsored each year by the Princeton Lions Club. Santa will then head to Ladd Saturday afternoon to help with that village’s annual Ladd Christmas Walk. Ladd holiday events are scheduled from 3 to 7 p.m., with Santa meeting with children to hear their wish lists and pose for photos at the Ladd American Legion building. Other Ladd events include live music, horse-drawn wagon rides, and lots of business shopping promotions and refreshments. Santa is apparently staying in Bureau County for the weekend because he will be at the Wyanet Rescue Building, from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, to meet with those area children and their families. With Santa’s traveling capabilities, Bureau County families are urged to check in their own communities to see when Santa just might be coming to their town. BCR file photo

Bureau County Health and Wellness Clinic

The Bureau County Health and Wellness Clinic is a primary medical care facility for residents of Bureau County who are low income and do not have access to any health insurance. The clinic is located at 500 Elm Place in Princeton. Our mission is to make a difference throughout Bureau County by providing access to primary healthcare services and medications to residents who would not otherwise have access to consistent medical care. Services provided by the clinic include treatment of acute illnesses, management of chronic illnesses, nurse and physician appointments, on-site lab services, medication dispensing for chronic and acute medical conditions, and Patient Assistance Pharmaceutical program. Because the BCHW Clinic has a presence in Bureau County, we are helping to reduce the number of emergency room visits for primary medical concerns. There is a gap that exists in our healthcare delivery system. People who do not have access to insurance through their place of employment, who do not qualify for Medicare or Medicaid, and who do not have the financial resources to access care independently are statistically referred to as the “working poor.”

Some days do you feel like the Energizer Bunny with a weak battery? There are several ways to help boost flagging energy, like pacing activities, taking power naps and eating healthfully, according to a recent issue of the Harvard Men’s Health Watch. One thing that doesn’t work: Taking overhyped dietary supplements. Sometimes fatigue is due to a medical condition. If that’s been ruled out, here are a few basic steps to maintain energy throughout the day: Set a steady pace: With age, the energy “battery” may not be able to store quite the charge it used to. “It’s fully charged, but it’s smaller and you have fewer hours of energy in it,” says Dr. Fabiny, chief of geriatrics at Cambridge Health Alliance and an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. “If you try to do all the things you did in the past, you could end up feeling tired.” Instead of burning through the battery in two hours, spread it out between morning tasks, afternoon tasks and evening activities — with rest and meals between. Take a walk: When daytime fatigue stems from chron-

ic sleeplessness (insomnia), napping can make it worse. Instead of napping, get up and take a walk. For people who sleep well at night, a 20- to 30-minute power nap may work wonders. Fuel up: Sugary bakery treats deliver plenty of calories to rev up energy in the morning, but the body tends to metabolize them quickly. The result is often a sinking blood sugar level and fatigue. Instead, eat a breakfast or lunch with protein and fiber and moderate carbs — like low-fat yogurt with a sprinkling of nuts, raisins, and honey. And don’t skip meals: Your body needs a certain number of calories to get through the work of the day. Skip the supplements: Don’t believe claims the widely-hyped supplement known as DHEA is an antiaging supplement. “There is absolutely no evidence that DHEA provides any benefit,” Fabiny says. Taking extra B vitamins doesn’t boost energy either. The same can be said for iron supplements. Get your vitamins, minerals and other nutrients the old fashioned way — in food.

Book review ‘Three Squares’ and ‘Fizz’ You can just about taste it now. Imagine: right out of the oven, the traditional dish Grandma used to make and now your sister does. Biscuits from a recipe your mom found in a magazine before you were born. New favorites brought to the family by new in-laws and old friends. You feast because it’s a holiday, but what about the other days? Find out why your mealtime looks the way it does in “Three Squares: The Invention of the American Meal” by Abigail Carroll. When the settlers first came to America some 400 years ago, they were reportedly aghast at Native American eating habits. Not only did tribal peoples ignore the idea of regular mealtimes, they also fasted — sometimes for “extended periods.” That was unheard-of for the settlers, but it isn’t like they had the corner on mealtime rulekeeping. For them, eating

was “generally informal, variable and socially unimportant.” Tables and chairs were rare Terri and, because Schlichenmeyer knives were the only silverware used — if, indeed, silverware was used at all — mealtime was rather messy. “For most, food was fuel,” says Carroll, “and eating was less about enjoying the pleasures of the palate … than replenishing work-weary bodies …” Early 18th-century colonists, of course, were mostly British and “proud of it.” As the hardships of life eased, therefore, they reached for their English roots in the kitchen. Meat comprised most meals and was, in fact, often the only dish; aside from potatoes, vegetable consumption was uncommon. By the late 1800s, industry had grown and the “shape of work”

shifted. This led to the (larger) midday meal being pushed to a later time of day, to accommodate workers who toiled away from home. Dinner became a family event and “an indicator of one’s class status.” Dining rooms were ushered into homes in the Victorian era, and mealtime became reason for strict etiquette, elaborate place settings, and sumptuous foods, including the new mandatory course, dessert. Lunch was “invented” as a bridge between early breakfast and the later meal. And breakfast? In the mid-1800s, it was still a meat-laden belly-filler that, it was believed, would aid digestion. Some thought, though, that all that food was not healthy, so an itinerant preacher and a healthconscious doctor cerealized things … Now you’re feeling hungry, aren’t you? And curious, too, which means you must take a bite out of “Three Squares.” In her introduction, author Abigail Carroll says that her initial intention with this book was to look at our habit of snacking, but she quickly

realized that she couldn’t do that without looking at meals in general. The two, as you might imagine, are tied together but they haven’t been (and might not be) for long. The reasoning — and the way meals have morphed — makes this a fascinating and lively look at all the things we put on a plate. I ate it up, and I think the pop-culture lover, the cookbook fanatic, and Queen (or King) of the Kitchen will all want this on their shelf. For them, “Three Squares” is a book they’ll devour.

began, how it became an American treat, how it’s weaved into our culture, how it changed nations, and why it’s blamed so widely for health issues. This book is a snacker’s dream, a soda-lover’s delight, a historian’s

pleasure, and something that’ll make you say “Cheers!” Terri Schlichenmeyer is a book reviewer from West Salem, Wis. She may be contacted at bookwormsez@yahoo. com.

Person with the greatest influence on my athletic career (and why): Alberto Martinez because he motivates me to keep trying. Person with the greatest influence in my life (and why): My dad because he is a positive role model that supports me in everything I do. If stranded on a deserted island, I would have my: Soccer ball and computer. Last song I listened to:

“Ants” by Edit. People would be surprised to know: I am older than what people think. I stay home to watch: Hardcore Pawn and The Big Bang Theory. When I need luck for a big game, I: I watch inspirational videos of Messi scoring goals. The funniest person I’ve ever met (and why): Cristian Mendez because he is always hyper and energetic. What they’ll say about me at school after I graduate: We need you back! Most embarrassing moment: Always cramping up on the soccer field and having to be carried off. Most unforgettable moment: Scoring a 25-yard floater goal against Princeton in regionals last year. Ultimate sports fantasy: To play with Barcelona. What I would like to do in life: To go to college for construction management. Three words that best describe myself: quick, motivated, outgoing.
