People who like to spend time outdoors will also find furniture at the store to meet their needs. Indoor, outdoor, vintage, re-purposed, contemporary and even fun furniture can be found at Furniture and Concrete Gallery. “Joel makes outdoor Adirondack chairs, planters — they’re beautiful — benches, swings, benches that convert into picnic tables and book shelves. He even has a Bistro table and chair set in the showroom,” Sandy said. “He’s working on turning old dressers into benches — that’s repurposing, taking something old and creating something new,” Craig added. Joel Pendl offers a custom-order service to people who have a specific item in mind that may not be in the showroom. “He also custom-builds things for people. He will do ‘doit-yourself projects’ that others can’t build. Anything someone finds online that they may not have the space or tools to build, we will build those things,” Sandy said. Craig said his son even caters to the sports enthusiasts. “We have flag stands and flags for the various ‘on the go flags’. They can be used on boats, campers/RVs — they’re also used for tailgating,” Craig said. Craig and Sandy’s specialty at the shop borders more on the artistic side. “My husband and I do the paint — we can custom paint anything,” Sandy said. In addition to the concrete statuaries and furniture, Craig and Sandy will provide painting services for people who may not have the time or desire to paint a piece of furniture that they’d like to give a new look to. “We will also paint furniture that people want re-styled. Someone has an old table and wants it painted, we will do that. We’ve painted things from small tables to a nine-piece bedroom set. We enjoy the painting,” Craig said. Furniture and Concrete Gallery is open six days a week. “Currently, we’re open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. (Central) to 5 p.m. We’re also open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays. We plan on staying open year round,” Sandy said. Craig Pendl said the family plans to offer items for the holidays too. “We’ll have seasonal stuff, pumpkins for the fall, wooden Christmas trees — there’s all kinds of stuff,” he said. At the present time, each member of the Pendl family has their own specific function within the business. “We have a family business. There are seven of us; and we all enjoy what we do — we’ve each found our special niche,” Sandy said. Running the business is not just a way to make a living for the Pendls, it’s also a way they can do something good. “We want to help people too — we want to be a blessing to others,” Craig said.

While the holiday has been celebrated nationwide since 1894, the original founder of Labor Day has long been a matter of debate. Some historians credit Peter J. McGuire, a co-founder of the American Federation of Labor, as the creator. He suggested a day to honor workers “who from rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold.” Other historians cite recent research about the work of Matthew Maguire, secretary of Local 344 of the International Association of Machinists. In 1882, Maguire proposed the creation of a Labor Day holiday, a plan that was adopted by union members. A picnic and demonstration was held on what is believed to be the first Labor Day celebration on Tuesday, Sept. 5, 1882, in New York City. Soon, other labor unions across the United States begin to pattern their “workingmen’s holiday” celebrations after the one held by the Central Labor Union. Labor Day commemorations America may have changed, but the spirit of the holiday recognizing the contributions of the American worker to the quality of life we all enjoy remains steadfast to this day. If you’re celebrating Labor Day with a picnic or a gathering at home, try serving this simpler version of potato salad. Instead of boiling the potatoes, they are microwaved or baked. Instead of mayonnaise, this recipe calls for a flavorful garlic, basil and parsley dressing, capers, celery and green onions. Best of all, the salad can be prepared in advance. It’s a delicious and modern way to give hard-working cooks a break on Labor Day! BAKED POTATO SALAD 2 pounds small Yukon gold potatoes, washed and dried 1 large bunch parsley, about 1-inch of stems still attached, thoroughly washed and roughly chopped with scissors 1 bunch basil, about 1-inch of stems still attached, thoroughly washed and dried, roughly chopped with scissors 1 clove garlic 2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons water 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil 4 to 6 tablespoons red wine vinegar 1 small purple onion, peeled and chopped finely 2 stalks celery, chopped 2 tablespoons smooth Dijon mustard 1 tablespoon capers and 1 teaspoon caper liquid 2 to 3 tablespoons sweet pickle relish 1. Micro-cook 8 to 10 of the potatoes in microwave on HIGH for 15 to 20 minutes. Cook the remaining potatoes in batches until all are tender when pierced with a knife. Alternately, heat oven to 350 F. Arrange potatoes in single layer in a baking dish and put in center of oven. Bake for about 50 minutes. 2. Meanwhile, in a food processor (or blender), combine the parsley, basil and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Add the water and blend. With the motor running, pour the olive oil through the top in a slow, steady stream, until well-combined, but still chunky. 3. In a serving bowl (use one large enough to add in the potatoes later), stir together red wine vinegar, onion, celery, mustard, capers and liquid, sweet pickle relish and half of parsley/oil puree. 4. When the potatoes are tender and yielding when pierced with the tip of a knife, remove from microwave or the oven; allow to cool for a few minutes. Peel half of them. Some potato skin adds a nice flavor in the salad. Cut any big potatoes in quarters, the rest in half. 5. Put potatoes in bowl with vinegar dressing. Stir in remaining half of parsley/oil puree. Taste salad, and add 1/8 teaspoon sugar, and additional salt and pepper as needed. Keep at room temperature until serving. Makes 4 to 6 servings.

It’s a never-fail, fabulous one-step pound cake that is a perfect “first” cake baking experience for kids. Read the recipe together, and let them search for the dry ingredients in the pantry, measuring cups from a kitchen drawer, eggs and sour cream from the refrigerator, and lemons in the fruit bowl. Grate, measure, pour and mix it all together in just one step. Nothing could be easier than dumping it all in a bowl and mixing it up for a delicious cake to serve for your next afternoon snack or a dessert at a family picnic. You can easily change up the flavor by substituting orange zest for lemon, and even reducing the sour cream and replacing it with orange juice. Don’t be surprised if it becomes your family’s signature recipe. Let’s get started: ONE-STEP LEMON POUND CAKE 2 1/4 cups flour 2 cups sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 cup soft unsalted butter, at room temperature 1 cup sour cream, at room temperature 3 eggs, at room temperature 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest Glaze: 1 cup confectioners’ sugar, sifted 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice 1. Heat oven to 325 F. Grease and flour one Bundt cake pan. 2. Put all of the cake ingredients into a mixer bowl and blend at low speed for about 1 minute. Beat an additional 3 minutes at medium speed. It will be light-yellow and creamy. 3. Pour into prepared pan. 4. Bake 55-60 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. 5. Cool the cake upright on a rack for 15 minutes. Remove from the pan and cool completely before glazing. To glaze, combine confectioners’ sugar and lemon juice in a bowl, mixing with a whisk until smooth. Add more juice for a pourable consistency. Drizzle over the top of the cooled cake and let glaze dry. Overeating Puppy Isn’t So Cute DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I watched a “cute” commercial today where a toddler sneakily pours dog food on the floor for the family puppy to eat. I think it was really irresponsible of the dog food company to show that without noting the risks to dogs that overeat, particularly puppies. Maybe a better commercial would be the mom rushing the dog to the veterinarian to make sure he doesn’t die of bloat. Why would the company present this as cute? -Shocked in Syracuse, New York DEAR SHOCKED: You don’t need me to answer why the pet food company presented the commercial in that way. Cute sells, right? Because you’re concerned about the way the situation is presented, with no apparent consequences for the puppy (bloat is a possible risk for dogs that eat a large amount of food in one sitting), Email your photos to The Leader [email protected] Include names of everyone in photos and mini summary of event Exp. 10/3/15 you can contact the company either through its website or in writing. Now, what if that situation happened in real life? Your toddler gets into the dog food and sits there happily feeding the family pet, for who knows how long before you discover them. You’ll need to monitor the dog closely. Bloat, known clinically as GDV (gastric dilatation-volvulus), happens when a dog’s stomach enlarges, twists and puts pressure on surrounding organs. It’s a very serious condition that can cause death in just hours. Overeating is one possible cause of bloat. If your dog’s stomach is distended, it tries to belch or vomit without success, it’s weak, panting and salivating, rush it to the vet. If your pet shows no symptoms but you’re concerned, contact the vet for instructions.

Page 10 – Starke • The Review September 1, 2015 Havana Daydreaming A SPORTING VIEW By Mark Vasto --Outside the window, overlooking the library of Middletown High School South, a daydreaming student in Ileanna Laurarri’s Spanish class could capture a glimpse of the football field and the concession stands that form a neat ring around the perimeter. On most days, she would offer you some sort of rebuke, “mira!” but on this particular day she stopped and looked out the window, too, then told a story. “One morning, the teacher in our class made all of the students line up against the wall and turn our backs. She then told us to pray to God to give us ice cream. So we prayed. Then she said turn around. And there was no ice cream. Some of us started to cry. I was 6 years old.” You know how a good story can quiet a room? The normally rowdy class was silent. “Our teacher, she told us to turn around a second time, facing the wall. She then told us to ask Fidel Castro for ice cream. And we did. And when we turned around, there was an ice-cream stand waiting for us.” Franklin Mint Q: I have a collection of the Franklin Mint’s Greatest Banknotes, in proof-quality sterling silver. The set has a certificate of authenticity signed by Michael C. Boyd, vice president of public relations at the Franklin Mint. I am interested in selling. -- Larry, Weyburn, Sask., Canada A: I have always advised my readers to steer clear of “instant collectibles,” such as the ones issued by the Franklin Mint. They might be lovely to look at and delightful to hold, but the reality is that they are also virtually impossible to sell. Put another way, there are few secondary markets for Franklin Mint products. *** Q: I have a tea cart that was made in Grand Rapids by the Paalman Furniture Company. It originally was painted black, but has been stripped and refinished. I would like to know more about it. -- Teresa, Ancramdale, New York A: During the first three decades of the past century, Grand Rapids, Michigan, was home to at least a dozen companies that specialized in the manufacture of furniture and accessories. Your tea cart probably was made during the 1920s, and from your photo appears to be With that, she looked at me, and said, “Now, when I ask you, how to ask me in Spanish ‘where is the library,’ are you going to remember?” So, Yasiel Puig, when everyone was heckling you in the outfield that one afternoon in Kansas City, now you know the full story and reason as to why that one person eating an ice-cream cone in the bleachers, that guy who made you stop, turn around and look up in bewilderment, yelled out “Hey Yasiel! Donde esta la biblioteca?” Cuba, if you haven’t heard by now, is no longer a closed-off nation for America. We just ran up our flag there a couple weeks ago. To most Americans, when we think about Cuba, we think about Kennedy and the Bay of Pigs. The Cuban Missile Crisis. Very good cigars and rum. Airlifts. Gitmo. Little Elian. For Cuban athletes and Cuban-Americans, thoughts of Havana dredge up far different feelings. For some, it meant risking your life and defecting in order to play baseball in America. Think about the stress you would feel facing a Major League hitter or pitcher on your best day. Now think about it with the thought that your family left behind may be in severe trouble because of your decision. There’s a heartbreak there for many Cubans that is hard to understand. Their love of country is great, but they would have loved to participate in the 1984 and 1988 Olympic Games. They would have loved to have seen the late, great Teofilo Stevenson fight Muhammad Ali. It almost happened, but Stevenson turned the fight down, saying the millions of dollars offered him was not worth losing the love of the millions of Cubans in Havana. Well, now there will be plenty of things off the field to settle between America, Cuba and Cuban Americans. But finally, at long last, it doesn’t mean people will have to risk their lives in order to play a game, and everybody can have an obscenely overpriced ice-cream cone. Mark Vasto is a veteran sportswriter who lives in New Jersey. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc. crafted of oak. Prices vary from region to region. To find out how much your tea cart might be worth, I suggest you contact antique- and used-furniture dealers near where you live. A good reference book that can provide you with general information about furniture from this period and the companies that produced pieces such as your tea cart is Furniture of the Depression Era: Furniture & Accessories of the 1920s, 1930s, & 1940s by Robert W. and Harriett Swedberg. Although out of print, there are numerous copies available on online. *** Q: I have a set of lamps that are marked “Cordey.” Can you tell me anything about them? -- Betty, Marion, Indiana A: The Cordey China Company was established in Trenton, New Jersey, in 1942 by Harry Wilson, Harvey Greenburg and a small group of investors. The company established a reputation for its highly stylized porcelain pieces, mostly figurines. Many of the products produced by the company before 1950 have become quite collectible.

ROACH: I recently was diagnosed as being prediabetic and told to watch my sugar intake. So I now read the nutrition facts on packages. However, I am confused about the listed sugars. Sometimes the label includes both “sugar” and “sugar alcohols.” For instance, a package can read “sugars 1 g” and “sugar alcohols 11 g.” Would my sugar intake be 1 g or 12 g? What is the difference, and what should I avoid/limit? -- B.D. ANSWER: First, congratulations on reading labels. There is a lot of good information to be found that can help you decide whether something is a healthy food for you. That being said, sugar alcohols are confusing. Sugar alcohols have nothing to do with the type of alcohol in beer, wine or spirits, and they aren’t sugars either. A sugar alcohol, such as sorbitol or xylitol, is an incompletely absorbed carbohydrate. Since they are incompletely absorbed, you get only some of the calories, and your blood sugar goes up less than if you Thumbprint Jammies The easiest way to get lots of jam into the center of these kid-friendly favorites is to use the back of a melon baller or greased measuring spoon to make the “thumbprint.” 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup sugar 3/4 cup butter or margarine (1 1/2 sticks), softened 1 large egg 3 tablespoons milk 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/2 cup favorite seedless jam 1. Heat oven to 350 F. 2. On waxed paper, combine flour, baking powder and salt. 3. In large bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat sugar and butter until creamy. Add egg, milk and vanilla; beat until well-blended. Reduce speed to low; beat in flour mixture just until blended. 4. Drop dough by rounded measur- ing tablespoons, 2 inches apart, onto ungreased large cookie sheet. Bake 6 minutes. Remove cookie sheet from oven. Working quickly, gently press a small indentation in center of each cookie, making sure not to press all the way through. Fill each indentation with rounded 1/2 teaspoon jam. 5. Return cookies to oven and bake 12 to 14 minutes longer or until edges are browned. Transfer cookies to wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining dough and jam. Makes about 30 cookies. * Each serving: About 120 calories, 5g total fat (3g saturated), 1g protein, 18g carbohydrate, 0g fiber, 20mg cholesterol, 90mg sodium.

All rights reserved had had the same amount of sweetness with regular sugar. A rough but reasonable rule of thumb is to count about half the grams of sugar alcohol as sugar, for the purposes of counting sugar grams. So in your example, it would be about 6.5 grams of sugar. You might wonder what happens to the unabsorbed sugar alcohol. It continues through your GI tract and acts as a laxative. Some people are very sensitive and will have diarrhea with just a little sugar alcohol; others tolerate more. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I have been suffering for many years from miserable episodes of perineal pain related to my benign, enlarged prostate. My urologist’s recommendation of NSAIDs and sitz baths has afforded very limited relief. I would appreciate any suggestions you have to offer. -- J.S.K. ANSWER: I see a lot of people with benign enlargement of the prostate, and the most common symptoms are inability to empty the bladder easily and having to urinate frequently. Persistent pain would make me concerned that the prostate enlargement is not the cause, or not the only cause, of the pain. I would think carefully about a bladder stone, chronic inflammation of the prostate and inter- stitial cystitis as a short list. Chronic pelvic pain is a condition much more frequently encountered in women and there are specialists in evaluating just that complex problem. Men can ge chronic pelvic pain too, and I am con cerned that it often is assumed to be due to the prostate, when there are many other possibilities. It’s time for you to be re-evaluated. The booklet on the prostate gland dis cusses treatments for enlargement a well as cancer. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Roach -- No. 1001, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803.
