I am not exaggerating when I say they closed the door and walked away. Windows were left open creating some smelly mold issues, pipes and drains were not winterized creating broken lines and a currently unusable outdoor pool ...... but I am here to tell you that there are some awesome people out there who are working together to bring Camp Louise back to her former beauty. The 340 acre camp has been purchased by an outside corporation, Valley Preservation LLC. They have leased the 177 acres of Camp Louise to the non-profit, Friends of Camp Louise. I am proud to say I am a part of this group, who through donations, bake sales, festivals, etc. are on the path of opening the camp this year. The camp has been renamed “The Camp Louise Center for Outdoor Recreation and Education.” It is no longer affiliated with the Girl Scouts. In the future it will now be available to ALL - Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Youth Groups, Church Groups, Retreats, Day Camps, Family Reunions, etc. If you are not familiar with the camp, let me tell you, it is a place of beauty. A special place where many great memories have been created for generations of Girl Scouts and will create many more memories for all who attend camp in the future. There is a huge kitchen and dining hall, cabins, tent platforms, a troop house, archery range, composting latrines, and a beautiful lake with canoes and row boats. We are currently in the process of doing repairs and much needed cleaning, and of course, ongoing fundraising. If you are interested and able, come out to a work day. Bring your work gloves and rake, chainsaw, cleaning supplies, etc. See dates below. We appreciate any time you can offer. &hEZZ//^^Z &hE ^Z Please patronize our fundraisers when you see us out in the dŚŝƐŝƐ LJŽƵƌ ƐƉĞĐŝĂůŝŶǀǀŝŝƚĂƟŽŶ ƚŽŚĞůƉ ƐƵƉƉŽƌƚ dŚŝƐ ŝƐ LJŽƵƌ ƐƉĞĐŝĂů ŝŶǀŝƚĂƟŽŶ ƚŽ ŚĞůƉ ƐƵƉƉŽƌƚ community.

Vegetarian Cuisine Yield: 4 servings By Kris Birshell Vegan Quinoa Fried Rice The beauty of using quinoa – which is generally a lot less fussy to prepare than rice – is that you don’t have to make it in advance and let it dry out. Quinoa can be cooked to al dente without being too toothsome in the middle. And when you finish it in the pan, you get the benefit of all that flavor being infused into the grains (a la a pilaf) and the sturdy texture that a good fried rice demands. INGREDIENTS: 4 scallions, white and green parts 1 cup quinoa separated, thinly sliced 1⁄2 tsp sriracha 2 medium shallots, thinly sliced 2 tsp toasted sesame oil 4 medium carrots (preferably assorted 2 Tbsp soy sauce colors), diced 1 Tbsp minced fresh ginger 2 Tbsp safflower or vegetable oil 4 garlic cloves, minced 2 cup water sea salt INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Place quinoa in a very fine mesh strainer and rinse, rinse, rinse well. You will thank your taste buds for this. In a medium lidded saucepan, combine the quinoa and water and bring to a boil. Cover, turn the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, until the quinoa is al dente. Uncover and remove from the heat. 2. Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large wok or nonstick skillet. Saute the carrots, shallot, and white scallions over high heat until soft and beginning to brown, about 6 minutes. Season with salt. Add the garlic, ginger, and green scallions and stir fry until fragrant, another 2 minutes. Fold in the quinoa and stir fry until well-coated in the vegetable mixture and beginning to toast, 3 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and sriracha. 3. Transfer the quinoa to bowls and serve right away.

I normally have some type of restaurant review, but there was no going out to eat because everything tastes delicious when cooked over the campfire. We had grilled ham and cheese sandwiches in the pie irons, chips and s’mores on Saturday night. Allie was up early Sunday morning to make a great breakfast of bacon and French toast. They needed a good breakfast before heading out to search for Bigfoot. We roasted hot dogs over the fire for lunch and then headed over to a local private beach for the girls to swim and play in the lake. Sunday nights supper was made by Amanda, Camryn and Julia, which was lasagna in the Dutch Oven along with garlic bread that was roasted over the fire. We were suppose to have Cherry Mountain Pies for dessert, but Mother Nature decided to give us some more rain, so we headed to our tents about 8:15 on Sunday night. Even though we had several rain showers this weekend, you can’t stop Girl Scouts from having a good time. Even when we were in our tents, there was still plenty of laughter and screaming (spiders) going on. It’s good to have a little relaxing time too. Cassandra writes in her journal about her camping trip. I also wrote about the trip, to put in my adventure book. We have several more camping trips planned for the upcoming months. I know I can’t wait. I finally booked a weekend for our troop to go camping in Yurts. But that’s in September and I sure don’t want to rush things. I just hope it stops raining all the time. We had enough of that last summer. So while I am at it, I may as well give Girl Scouts a plug. Do you have a daugher who likes adventure? Learning new things? Making new friends? Consider signing her up for Girl Scouts. There are plenty of troops in the area, so it’s not hard to find one she may like. Some are more active than others, Some camp, some don’t. It all depends on the leaders. Beverly is the Service Unit Lead for this area and also a Daisy, Brownie and Junior leader in Hazleton. She can help place your daughter in a troop. Bev can be reached at (570) 455-6006. Several leaders take the summer off, so the new season will start in September.

The other athlete is much more obscure, whose accomplishments took place nearly a century ago, but which rank amongst the greatest sports feats by an athlete. A two-time AAU wrestling champion, John Spellman sought permission to take 3 days off from Brown University to attend the 1924 Olympic Trials. His request was denied by Dean of Students Otis Randall, but Spellman went to the trials anyway, earning a spot on the Olympic freestyle wrestling team. Dean Randall punished Spellman for his defiance, denying him permission to graduate with his class, although he had fulfilled all the requirements. The Olympic Games were held in Paris, and Spellman breezed through the first two rounds in the light- heavyweight division, pinning Walter Wilson of Great Britian and George Rumpel of Canada. In the semifinals, he won over Carl Westergren of Sweden, a three-time gold medalist in Greco-Roman wrestling to earn a trip to the finals. In the old medal match, Spellman faced another Swede, future two-time Greco-Roman gold medalist Rudolf Swensson. Spellman won by a decision to earn the gold medal. John Spellman signed as a lineman in the NFL in 1925 and was a member of the 1928 NFL championship team.
