It’s almost June, and activities are start-ing to fill the calen-dar almost as fast

as the flowers beginning to bloom. Let’s hope sum-mer arrives by its due date — June 21.

The Rome Farmers’ Market kicks off June 10 and will be open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Friday throughout the summer in Alpine Business Park, off Highways D and 13. Stop by, and get some fresh goodies. Special events also are planned, includ-ing the popular “Chef on

the Square.” Christian Czerwonka of Christian’s Bistro, Plover, is June’s featured chef. His dem-onstration will begin at 9:30 a.m. June 24 in the gazebo.

The Adams Flea Market also starts its season on Memorial Day weekend. The market is open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekends and holidays. It is sure to be a bargain shopper’s delight.

For baseball fans, live action is only miles away. Check out the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters games this summer. Home

games are in this month’s calendar.

The first day of sum-mer also happens to be Father’s Day — a great time to grill out. Whether the family decides to cook for Dad, or Dad him-self dons the apron and wields a spatula, there are some great recipes inside this month’s issue. While Dad’s manning the outdoor cooking, why not get some pictures of him action? We’d love to have you share those classic

shots in our next issue.Since you’ll probably be

spending a lot more time outdoors, you’ll want to be sure to watch out for ticks — and that includes your pets. We’ve included some valuable tips in this month’s issue.

While outdoors, remem-ber to be safe and smart when burning. Fire safety tips and burning permit information is available at www.dnr.wi.gov/for-estry/fire.

It might be time to

spruce up the summer home, whether you live in the lakes area full-time or come for the summer. Check out some simple and savvy tips in this month’s issue to freshen up the place. Don’t for-get, we’re looking for lake homes to feature in future issues.

Send photos and stories to Deb Cleworth, content editor, at deb.cleworth@cwnews, [email protected] or mail to Lake Country Snapshots, c/o Daily Tribune, 220 First Ave. S., Wisconsin Rapids, WI 54494. Future

publication dates are June 17, July 14, Aug. 17, Sept. 14 and Nov. 18. Submission deadline is the first of the month prior to publication.

Lather on the sun-screen, load up the bug spray and head outdoors. Don’t forget your camera — we want to see you in our next issue.

Have a safe June — and send in those pictures!

6 Lake Country SNAPSHOTS • June 2011

MAUSTON — The ReStore in Mauston now is open for business.

The store helps fund the expensive work of building and renovating homes through Habitat for Humanity, which partners with low-income families to renovate or build sim-ple, decent homes. Habitat then sells the homes to those families at no profit and with a no interest mortgage.

In the U.S., Habitat has served more than 400,000 families since 1976. A total of 1.6 million people — including more than one million children — now live in Habitat homes. The Juneau-Adams Habitat group has partnered with eight families since 2008, providing the benefit of safe and decent homes to 28 local children and 11 adults.

The store’s Mauston location is an ideal loca-tion, said Jim Abbs, board president of Habitat for Humanity in Adams and Juneau counties, in a news release. Located two miles south of Mauston on Highways 12 and 16 (the old Hill Carpet Building), the store has 15,000 square feet and lots of parking.

A wide variety of donated items, including new or gently-used furni-ture, appliances, cabinets, windows, doors, flooring, lights, tubs, sinks and other building materi-als, are available at the store. Because Habitat for Humanity is a tax-exempt organization, all donations yield donor tax deduc-tions, which are attractive to everyone, from Home Depot to individuals, according to Abbs. Buyers also benefit, because dis-

counts commonly are from 40 to 75 percent.

Nationally and across Wisconsin, Habitat ReStores are a huge suc-cess. There are 12 Habitat ReStores in Wisconsin, but none north of Mauston for more than 150 miles. The nearest, fully-functional ReStore is in LaCrosse. To reduce costs, a diverse group of dedicated local volunteers put in more than 100 hours each week at the Mauston ReStore. Volunteers help with everything from donation pick ups to pricing of mer-chandise, including help with maintenance of the store building.

ReStores help communi-ties in a number of ways:

» ReStores prevent a lot of useable items from going into landfills, which saves money for local taxpayers and also pro-tects the environment. In just the last four years, the Madison ReStore has diverted more than 2,500 tons of material from going into Dane County landfills.

» Second, and impor-

tant in central Wisconsin, ReStores also offer reduced cost items for low-income families or for folks with second or recre-ational homes.

If you or your company have surplus furniture, appliances, building materials, fixtures, and would like to help Habitat while at the same time get a tax deduction, give the ReStore a call at (608) 847-2000 or email them at [email protected]. The Mauston ReStore has its own truck and will

pick up donations. People who want to volunteer can call the same number or just stop by.

June 2011 • Lake Country SNAPSHOTS 7

One day each year is set aside to honor Dad. But, as you remember the times he got up early to

take you to ball practice, taught you to ride your bike or came to your apartment to help you fix the leaky plumbing, maybe they need more than one day to hear, “thank you.”

While Dad will appreciate any gift-giving gesture, if you really want to put a smile on his face and create a memorable moment, con-sider starting a new gift tradition this year: beef. And not just any beef - aged-to-perfection, melt-in-his-mouth steak.

Does your dad smile just a little more when he sees a perfectly grilled steak placed in front of him? When considering dining options, is there a steakhouse at the top of his list? Does he spend hours on end talking about grilling the perfect steak? Well, your dad is a meat aficionado - and the gift that will put the biggest smile on his face? Steak.

So, where to start? Here are the top five steaks, according to the Kansas City Steak Company, which has specialized in all things steak since 1932.

» Filet mignon. The most popular steak, these aged beef wonders provide melt-in-your-mouth tender-ness. “This is by far the most popu-lar steak we sell,” says Edward Scavuzzo, president. “Year after year, no matter how many other steaks or meats we offer, the filet mignon comes out as the clear win-ner. And why not? It’s my favorite, too.”

» New York strip steak. For a heartier appetite, the second most popular steak is the New York strip.

Whether you choose a strip with or without the bone, this steak, some-times known as the Kansas City strip, is cut from the short loin and is very tender.

» Ribeye steak. For rich flavor, you can’t go wrong with the third most popular steak — the ribeye. All bone-in and boneless ribeye steaks are carved from succulent prime rib roasts and feature rich marbling. Whether grilled, fried or broiled, it’s a sure winner for dads everywhere.

» Top sirloin steak. A fourth option is the top sirloin — the most prized of the sirloin steak family. The top sirloin is cut from the center of the sirloin and is lean, firm and flavor-ful. Top sirloin has a hearty beef fla-vor and is perfect for grilling.

» Porterhouse. Two steaks in one rounds out the top five. The rich taste of the meaty sirloin strip and the tender, melt-in-your-mouth filet mignon make the porterhouse a favorite for serious carnivores. If your dad loves all kinds of steaks, the Porterhouse might just be the winner for this year’s Father’s Day gift.

It’s never been easier to order your dad his favorite steak — wher-ever you are or whatever time of year you want to do something spe-cial.

Five easy ways to transform a room

By Jill Livernash For Lake Country Snapshots

The dreary spring days are gone, and it’s the per-fect time of year to change your personal scenery. If you’ve got a room, or even a whole house, that’s just begging for a makeover, wait no longer.

Here are five easy ways to transform your space:

Hit the wallsNot literally, as in demo-

lition, but with a luscious color. Of all the ways to give a room a fresh face, painting is one of the quickest, least expensive and most effective routes. It’s instant gratification in a can. Exploring color choices is easy, too, as most paint companies offer sample sizes. Take it home, splash it on the wall, and live with it for a day or two. This small step can save you time and trouble in the long run.

Color has a powerful effect on our feelings, so consider the use of the room. Blues and greens have a calming effect, while reds rev us up, and pink is known to elicit an upbeat mood. Go from neu-tral to bold with an unex-pected shade, or take baby steps by picking a color that is a deeper, richer ver-sion of the existing color. If the dining room has always been a deep, dark green, try a new perspective with a warm, light color.

Either way, punch up any moldings by painting them a bright, semi-gloss white. Faux finishes and wallpa-per are other quick fixes for tired walls.

Tap the material world

Fabrics and textiles are the expressway to deco-rating heaven. Beautiful new bedding, decorative pillows and drapes all can make an amazing differ-ence to any room. Keep the neutral living room, but throw in a stylish curve with zebra print pillows, a hot fuchsia throw or a lav-ishly patterned footstool. Take the dining room from staid to spectacular in a snap with splashy new table linens and accesso-

ries. Boring bedroom? Rev it up and create a stir with some fabulous new bed-ding. From dramatic colors and luxurious satins to simple, graphic patterns, beautiful bedding will make you and your bed-room feel rejuvenated.

Light the wayChange the entire mood

of a room with a flick of the switch. Amp it up or tone it down, but use light-ing to your best advantage. Banish gloomy shadows with the addition of floor and table lamps, or change a traditional dining room chandelier to cool rise-and-fall pendants. Some rooms, such as kitchens and baths, require overhead, task-specific lighting, but most

other rooms benefit from the cozy glow of table and floor lamps. Branch out from white or ivory shades to colored ones for an instant shot of color and style. One tip to keep in mind: For a balanced effect and effec-tive light, the width of the shade should roughly equal the width of the lamp’s base.

Shake it upTake a room from pre-

dictable to provocative with a dash of contrast. Is the living room cool and contemporary? Add an antique accent table, a

grandfather clock or an ornate mirror over the mantle to cause a stir. Bedroom blooming with floral prints and chintz? Quiet the riot of patterns with a sleek, solid accent chair or rich, solid bed-ding. Never be afraid of mixing it up — style is not set in stone, and adding the element of surprise keeps it all the more exciting. Unexpected combinations work well with color and

fabric as well. For a room that’s primari-ly subtle in tone, introduce bold acces-sories in

popping, punchy bright colors to wake up and shake up the room’s mood.

Plant an IdeaCall on nature to add a

lush, organic feeling to any setting. From ultra-modern to traditional or Mediterranean decor, a magnificent plant creates a fresh focus. A soaring palm or a miniature cit-rus tree adds summer’s warmth any time of the year. Add natural beauty

to an entryway, or bring a burst of color to any room with flowering plants that bloom indoors. Choose brightly colored ceramic or glazed plant pots, and you’ve got another way to add new interest to the room.

ummer enter-taining season is about to heat up. Barbecue and

traditional cookout fare will always have a place in warm weather menus, but sometimes you just want to shake things up a little - and bring some new ideas and flavors to the picnic table.

If you want to spice up your summer entertain-ing, radio host, cookbook author and Certified Sommelier Jamie Gwen recommends you try these five hot culinary trends:

» The “It” wine for summer

Summer fare calls for a companion wine that’s clean, crisp and food friendly - and that’s Italian Pinot Grigio. While domestic varieties are lovely for sipping, Italian Pinot Grigios, like those from Ecco Domani(R), DaVinci(R) and Maso Canali(R), tend to have a fresh, clean taste that pairs better with food, and especially with the lighter cuisines of summer, Gwen says. In fact, culinary profes-sionals are five times

more likely to prefer Italian Pinot Grigio to domestic when pairing with a summer meal, according to a recent online survey of mem-bers of the International Association of Culinary Professionals. What’s more, you can find a fine Italian Pinot Grigio to fit a range of budgets - from about $10 to $11 for Ecco Domani, $12 to $13 for DaVinci, and $18 to $19 for Maso Canali.

» The new cupcakeCupcakes were every-

where last year, from swanky Hollywood soi-rees to beach weddings. This year, French maca-roons are the new cup-cake. Made from almond flour or almond paste, French-style macaroons are available in a variety of flavors, such as pas-sion fruit, chocolate, cof-fee and orange. They’re a light and airy sweet complement to a summer meal, especially when filled with buttercream or lemon curd.

» The spice superstarThis year, Spanish

paprika (pimenton) nudges out chipotle and Sichuan peppercorns as

the spice superstar of the season. Paprika is a key ingredient in Spanish cooking and Spaniards use it in everything, from chorizo to scrambled eggs. Hot enough to stand up to summer’s sizzle, this smoked papri-ka is great for grilling, and adds zesty flavor to grilled chicken and meat.

» Meatless MondaysEating lighter, espe-

cially during summer months, is a definite trend for 2011. More Americans will be get-ting on board with the “Meatless Monday” ini-tiative that encourages consumers to reduce their meat consumption by 15 percent. Reducing meat consumption can lead to better health for you and a better environ-ment for all, proponents say. Plus, light salads and vegetarian dishes make for ideal warm-weather fare.

» Korean fusionFood lovers and cre-

ative chefs have been blending cultures and ingredients forever, but you can expect to see even more melding of flavors this summer.

Korean influences and spicy flavors will be par-ticularly pervasive, pop-ping up in cuisines found everywhere from food trucks to backyard bar-becues. Korean flavors

will excite the palate and make for an even more delicious summer.

Here are two sum-mer dishes that feature Italian Pinot Grigio. You can further enhance

the flavor by serving them with an Italian Pinot Grigio from Ecco Domani, DaVinci or Maso Canali.

12 Lake Country SNAPSHOTS • June 2011

Though they may be hard to spot, don’t let fleas and ticks elude you this season. Spring is the unofficial start of flea and tick

season — and the ideal time to begin pre-ventatively treating your pet so it doesn’t get an infestation. Not only are fleas and ticks an annoyance for dogs, cats and pet owners alike, but they can also cause health issues. This flea and tick season is shaping up to be an intense one, accord-ing to Dr. Nancy Hinkle, Ph.D ., profes-sor of entomology at the University of Georgia. Research shows that mild spring weather allows fleas and ticks to get an early start, meaning there will be higher pest populations this summer.

“Flea and tick bites are always a cause for concern,” said Dr. Melinda Fernyhough, DVM, Ph.D., veterinarian and manager of scientific affairs at the Hartz Mountain Corporation. “Flea bites can lead to anemia, allergy dermatitis, an allergic reaction to proteins in flea saliva; and permanent hair loss or skin problems from scratching.

“And that’s not all. Ticks can transmit Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spot-ted fever — both of which can be trans-

mitted to your family.”Keeping your pets safe and protected

is just as easy as maintaining your own health. Here are three tips:

» Choose the appropriate flea and tick treatment. There are a variety of options to keep your pet healthy, includ-ing shampoos, sprays, topical treatments and collars. Topicals are the most popular

treatment and are applied monthly to your pet. For example, Hartz UltraGuard Pro Flea & Tick Drops are designed to kill fleas and ticks and prevent new fleas from appearing.

» Carefully read the label. It is incred-ibly important to read and follow the directions on the label. Make sure to purchase the appropriate weight class

of product so you don’t put too much (or too little) on your pet. Never use a dog product on a cat or vice versa. And keep animals separated until the treat-ment dries, typically between 24 and 48 hours, to ensure your pet doesn’t ingest the treatment from another pet.

» Check your pet regularly. Throughout flea and tick season, make sure to rub your hands through your pet’s coat on a regular basis to check for fleas and ticks. And keep an eye out for excessive scratching. Using a monthly treatment like Hartz UltraGuard Pro Flea & Tick Drops can help keep your pet protected month to month.

It is estimated that last year alone over 70 million dogs and cats suffered from flea or tick infestations, according to Dr. Hinkle. So as the weather heats up, it’s important to educate yourself

about caring for your pet during flea and tick season. To ask Dr. Melinda a question, find the appropriate treatment for your pet or learn more about Hartz UltraGuard Pro Flea & Tick Drops, visit www.hartzultraguard.com.
