Cass County Board of Supervisors to act on bond issue

News

August 16th, 2011 by Ric Hanson

The Cass County Board of Supervisors are set to meet Wednesday morning, in Atlantic. During their session, which begins at 9-a.m., the Board will act on a Resolution calling for the issuance of approximately $520,000 in bonds, to fund the northwest water/sewer extension project in the Amaizing Energy Urban Renewal area.

They’re also expected to acknowledge receipt of a letter of information, regarding an expenditure of a $10,000 state-provided allocation, to be used for the operational expenses of running the Cass County Veteran’s Affairs Department. Auditor Dale Sunderman says none of the funds are to be used for direct assistance to veterans.

And, the Cass County Supervisors will hear from Gary Stephenson, with regard to the display of a lithograph copy of the U-S Constitution in each of Iowa’s 100 county courthouses.

Vidalia Onion Custard Bread (8-16-2011)

Mom's Tips

August 16th, 2011 by Jim Field

  • 1 large Vidalia or sweet onion (peel and divide in half, slice thinly)
  • 3 tablespoons butter (divided)
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
  • 1 teaspoon poppy seed

In a large skillet, cook the onions in 2 teaspoons of butter over medium heat until tender and lightly browned, about 15 minutes.  In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt.  Beat your egg and milk, stir into dry ingredients until moistened.  Set aside 2 teaspoons of onion mixture, fold the remaining onion mixture into the butter.  Fold in 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese.  Pour into a greased 9 inch pan, top with remaining cheese and onion mixture.  Sprinkle with poppy seeds.  Melt remaining butter, drizzle over the top.  Bake at 400 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.  Cool and cut into wedges.  Yields 8 to 10 servings.  Refrigerate leftovers.

Pirates 6, Cardinals 2

Sports

August 16th, 2011 by Jim Field

     PITTSBURGH (AP) – Ryan Doumit (DOH’-miht) went 4 for 4 and hit a tiebreaking three-run home run to lift the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 6-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night.  Doumit’s homer in the fourth inning off Jake Westbrook (9-7) snapped a 1-1 tie and helped Pittsburgh break its three-game losing
streak. The switch-hitting catcher matched a career high with his sixth four-hit game.  St. Louis, which had won three of its last four, fell six games behind Milwaukee in the NL Central. The Brewers beat the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night.  Xavier Paul, who homered, and Neil Walker each had two hits for the Pirates, and James McDonald (8-6) pitched 5 2-3 uneven innings to end his three-start winless streak. McDonald allowed two runs and six hits while walking two and striking out four.
