Teams
needed for MS Walk
The
MS Walk is a great way for teams and communities to come together
for a fun-filled event while making a tremendous difference in the
lives of those with multiple sclerosis. This year, the MS Walk
is April 14 at 1:30 p.m. at Kickapoo Creek Park in Lincoln.
Multiple
sclerosis is a chronic, often disabling, disease of the central
nervous system. The brain and spinal cord are affected. The
symptoms of MS vary greatly and may be mild or severe. Some
symptoms are numbness in the limbs, paralysis or loss of
vision. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of
20 and 50, but the unpredictable physical and emotional effects can
be lifelong.
Dollars
raised by the MS Walk support research efforts and local programs.
The
event takes place rain or shine. Lace up your walking shoes,
grab your contributions and join us! Contact Nancy Ireland,
732-2339, or e-mail sunglow@abelink.com
for details.

Programs
offered at the Extension office
Friends
Friendships
are important at any age. They can provide companionship and emotional support
throughout life. Recent research links the presence of friendship or social
support with overall emotional well-being. Friendships develop and change over
time. These changes often coincide with life events. It is important to
continue to build new friendships and strengthen older relationships
throughout the lifespan.
The
workshop "Make New Friends But Keep The Old" will discuss the
importance of friendship throughout life and give tips on building and
maintaining friendship as life events create changes in relationships.
"Make
New Friends But Keep the Old" will be presented by Patti Faughn,
University of Illinois youth and family educator from Springfield, at the
Logan County Extension office on Thursday, April 11, at 10 a.m. The
office is at the northwest corner of the fairgrounds, 980 N. Postville
Drive. The workshop is being sponsored by University of Illinois
Extension.
If you need
reasonable accommodations to participate in the program, please make the
request when registering. For more information or to register, call (217)
732-8289.
Diabetes
cooking school
If
you have diabetes, choosing and preparing foods can be a real challenge. Learn
how to cook foods that are low in sugar, fat and sodium at the "Dining
with Diabetes" cooking classes sponsored by University of Illinois
Extension.
"Those

herbs and spices," explains Jananne Finck, nutrition educator with the U
of I Extension in Springfield. "We’ll have cooking demonstrations and
taste several different recipes. "
"Everyone
will get recipes to help them plan healthy meals at home," adds John
Fulton unit leader for Logan County Extension.
"Dining
with Diabetes" includes three Monday evening sessions from 7 to 8:30: April
15, 22 and 29 at the Logan County Extension office.
The
$10 registration fee includes class materials, recipe booklets and taste
testing. Space is limited and advance registration is required. Registrations

Lincoln
Area YMCA 2002 summer day camps
YMCA summer day camp is the right choice to make when looking for
fun and adventure for kids throughout the summer months. Mom and Dad
can simply go to work each day knowing that their
children
will share hours of fun with their friends in a safe environment.
Kids will fill their time at the Y this summer by enjoying lots of
field trip fun, including swimming, ice skating, roller skating,
hiking in area parks, a try at fishing, climbing on the YMCA low
ropes course, archery, and visits to a water park, the Decatur
Children’s Museum and the golf range at Lincoln Park District.
Children
will enjoy the qualified and fun-loving YMCA staff as they play
games and guide the children in various educational activities.
Activities planned include singing camp songs, experiencing outdoor
activities such as hikes in area parks, learning to tie knots,
making special snacks, enjoying visits from guest speakers, playing
various sports, and having special contest fun with entertaining
"kid" games such as jacks, marbles, yo-yos, hula hoops,
hacky sacks, Slinkies, spinning tops and much more. Children will
also enjoy group arts and crafts, reading activities, storytelling
fun, creative drama activities, skits, and will swim most days that
weather permits.
Summer
day camp will be offered at the following locations this year:
• Children entering kindergarten to second grade — YMCA facility and
outdoor grounds on Wyatt Avenue
• Third through sixth grade — Immanuel Lutheran Church outdoor picnic
grounds (1409 Pulaski St.)
• Kindergarten through sixth-grade program for Atlanta — Atlanta Grade
School
Children help start
YMCA programs for older adults
The
children enrolled in the local YMCA before- and after-school
programs have been working together with the YMCA staff to help
raise funds for programs that will soon be offered to active older
adults. These kids simply feel that they have been recipients of fun
programs offered by the YMCA for many years, and now they think that
it is time for active older adults, such as their grandparents, to
have some fun too!
The
children and YMCA staff have been donating bags of chocolate chips,
baking candies and other baking ingredients to assemble into jars of
"cookie mixes." Once the jars are assembled with the
ingredients and decorated, they will be sold for $6. The proceeds
will be used to put together various programs that active older
adults will enjoy.
If
you are interested in learning more about this new programming for
older adults, please call the Lincoln Area YMCA at 735-3915.

A
new century, a new generation
and new recipes
[FEB.
28, 2002] Just
over 10 years ago, in 1991, Judy Awe decided her family needed a way
to remember its heritage.
|
Judy
Awe is a member of the Ritchhart family, a family known all over
central Illlinois. The Ritchhart family includes two men who fought
in the Civil War (one of whom died in that war) and one man who
fought in the Spanish-American War.
Judy
is the oldest grandchild of Harold Raymond Ritchhart and Wilma
Amaryllis Shay, both of whom were born in Logan County. Harold owned
Ritchhart’s Grocery for 48 years. Judy has fond memories of
working in the store learning to count change. Her grandparents
really defined the Ritchhart sense of community awareness. And she
wanted to create something in their honor.
So,
in 1991, she decided to create the "Ritchhart Family
Cookbook," with the help of her sister, Janice Sielaff, and
her mother, Norma Jean Berglin,
![](../images/022802pics/Book2.jpg)
With
an extensive family of eight children and 29 grandchildren, not to
mention cousins, the Ritchharts had many, many recipes to share.
Some had stories or meanings behind them, some were just family
favorites.
The
ones collected from "Gran" (Wilma) Ritchhart were the
hardest, according to Judy. With other members of the family, they
simply had to copy the recipe down onto a form and mail it back.
Gran, however, cooked the old-fashioned way — "some flour, a
lump of butter, a little bit of baking powder." So Judy and her
sister had to measure the ingredients and write them down as she put
them in. Her recipe for dumplings turned into "2 C. flour, 2
tsp. baking powder with little salt, 1 heaping T. Crisco."
In
addition to recipes, Judy collected stories from her mother and
others. These were used as filler material at the bottoms of the
pages. A reader can get great enjoyment by just scanning the bottom
of each page for anecdotes.
Some
have to do with food and recipes: "How many ways can you
cook an egg? Ask the kids at Jellystone Campground."
Some
make you almost wish you knew the story behind them: "Is
Judge John’s blood still on the porch at [the house] at 123
[College]?"
And
some just make you laugh: "Dad was a volunteer fireman
for several years. One night, the boys pushed the car out of the
garage and down the alley without Dad’s permission and went
cruising. When they saw the fire they knew Dad would be called, but
they had his car, so they went home to pick him up…sleepy eyed,
Dad didn’t realize it was his car that was delivering him to his
destination – until later."
So
they collected all of these recipes from relatives and sent them off
to be published.
Since
that time, there have been many reprints of the cookbook. More and
more members of the Ritchhart family want their family’s recipes,
and many members of the community also want to be a part of the
history. Eventually, over 4,000 copies of the book were sold.
[to top of second column in this
article] |
The
money from the first book was given to Abraham Lincoln Memorial
Hospital Auxiliary in Lincoln. It was used to purchase Lifeline
units.
But,
as with all compilations, many recipes were left out. Some had
merely been forgotten or overlooked. Others came along later as the
over 30 great-grandchildren began to grow up.
On
the 10th anniversary of the first Ritchhart cookbook, Judy decided
it was time for a second one. "A new century, a new generation
and new recipes!" she proclaimed. And she went back to work.
The
Ritchhart family really had grown. It included almost everyone
needed for a modern community, from doctors to firemen to a school
administrator. Everything but a lawyer, according to Judy.
So
her table became covered with new recipes, old recipes, forgotten
recipes. She collected new sayings and stories. She arranged and
rearranged them all. And finally, at the beginning of September
2001, the book was ready to be sent off.
You
can guess what happened next.
She
writes in the introduction to this cookbook, "Final touches
were being made on Cookbook 2001 – September 11, 2001, when our
nation was devastated by terrorists attacking the New York World
Trade Center."
But
even the terrorists could not hold back the Ritchhart cookbook. Judy
called the publishing company and asked if they had a patriotic
cookbook theme. The sales representative laughed and told her that
one was being prepared as they spoke. The American flag and eagle
design was sent to Judy as soon as it was printed. She chose it
immediately, and her book was the first one published in that style.
![](../images/022802pics/Book1.jpg)
The
back of the book reads, "This cover and divider set was
designed to honor the victims of the September 11 tragedies. For
every set sold, G&R Publishing has made a donation to the New
York Fire Fighters 9-11 Fund."
In
addition, Judy will once again donate the proceeds of this book to a
charity or need somewhere in this area.
If
you would like to purchase one or both of these cookbooks, you can
contact Judy Awe at (217) 732-4758 or e-mail her at tjawe@abelink.com.
Books
are $10 each plus $4 if you want them shipped to you.
