Glazed Fruit Salad (8-2-2011)

Mom's Tips

August 2nd, 2011 by Jim Field

  • 1 large can fruit cocktail, drained
  • 2 small cans mandarin oranges, drained
  • 1 jar maraschino cherries, drained
  • 1 can pineapple chunks with juice
  • 1 large package instant lemon pudding

Mix together fruit cocktail, mandarin oranges and maraschino cherries.  Add pineapple chunks with juice.  Sprinkle with instant lemon pudding.  Stir and let stand.  Other fruit can be used as long as they are drained.  The secret is to use one box pudding to each can of pineapple with juice.

Brewers Top Cards, 6-2

Sports

August 2nd, 2011 by Jim Field

MILWAUKEE (AP) – Nyjer Morgan hit a go-ahead, three-run double and the surging Milwaukee Brewers scored five runs in the fifth inning off Cardinals ace Chris Carpenter to rally for a 6-2 win over St. Louis on Monday night and extend their season-best winning streak to seven.  Milwaukee (61-49) moved 3 1-2 games ahead of St. Louis in the NL Central, its biggest lead of the season. The Brewers and Cardinals will play 11 more times this year.  Zack Greinke (9-4) allowed a first-inning, two-run homer to Matt Holliday, but the Brewers offense prevailed again in the second matchup this season of the former Cy Young winners.  The Brewers’ first six batters reached base in the fifth, with Morgan delivering the decisive hit.  Carpenter (6-8) appeared in complete control until the fifth when he had a 2-0 lead.

Members of the Adair County Temporary Redistricting Committee are set to meet this evening, in Greenfield. During their 6-p.m. session in the Adair County Boardroom at the courthouse, the redistricting committee will hold discussion on redistricting, along with the setting of the date, time and location of the next meeting.

Work on redistricting became necessary following the results of the 2010 census, which showed a population shift in Iowa.

Heat wave takes toll on Iowa crops, livestock

Ag/Outdoor, News

August 2nd, 2011 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – The heat wave continues to take a toll on Iowa’s crops and livestock.

In the weekly crop report on Monday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture says 75 percent of the corn crop is in good to excellent shape, a decrease from 80 percent the week before. Seventy-three percent of the soybean crop is in good to excellent condition, a slide from 79 percent.

The report says along with livestock losses, the hot and humid weather is slowing weight gain and lowering milk production.

Reports of over 14 inches of rain in the Dubuque area last Wednesday and Thursday caused flash flooding that damaged property and crops.

State climatologist Harry Hillaker says preliminary data shows that July was Iowa’s warmest month since August 1983 and the warmest July since 1955.
