LAYERED CORNBREAD SALAD MEALS IN Monica's MINUTES Share your favorite recipe! www.facebook.com/mealsinminutes Monica's Meals in Minutes PO Box 68, Petersburg, IN 47567 mealsinminutes@pressdispatch.net FACEBOOK MAIL EMAIL By Monica Sinclair When I think of cornbread, ham and beans always comes to mind. However, this week, I found a recipe for a different way to use it. I can't wait to try it because my husband and I both love cornbread. This recipe is easy and only takes about ½ hour to make. Enjoy! INGREDIENTS • 1 package (8 -1/2 ounces) cornbread/muffin mix • 1 cup mayonnaise • 1/2 cup sweet pickle relish • 2 cans (15 ounces each) pinto beans, rinsed and drained • 4 medium tomatoes, chopped • 1 medium green pepper, chopped • 1 medium onion, chopped • 10 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 400°. Prepare cornbread batter ac- cording to package directions. Pour into a greased 8 - in. square baking pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 15 -20 minutes. Cool com- pletely in pan on a wire rack. 2. Coarsely crumble cornbread into a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and relish. 3. In a 3-qt. trifle bowl or glass bowl, layer a third of the cornbread and half of each of the following: beans, to- matoes, pepper, onion, bacon and mayonnaise mix- ture. Repeat layers. Top with remaining cornbread. Refrigerate, covered, 2-4 hours before serving. Source: tasteof home.com YOUTH FIRST TODAY By Abby Betz Youth First, Inc. It's the time of year (again) that most of us look forward to and some of us dread — back-to-school! It can be diffi- cult for children to make the transition from the carefree, fun days of summer to the everyday grind of school life, es- pecially when students have not been in school buildings for many months due to a worldwide pandemic. Transition is a common occurrence for young people, and most do adjust well— but there are some who find themselves unable to appropriately adapt to seasonal and other life changes. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, anxiety disorders affect 1 in 8 children. When anxiety begins to cause physical and emotional distress, parents and guardians can respond by employing some simple yet effective coping strate- gies to help alleviate fears and create a framework for a successful start to the school year. Here are some general tips: Develop a routine or schedule. Even just a few repeated actions, like going to bed at a regular time, can have a calm- ing effect. Make sure your child is getting plen- ty of rest and maintains a well-balanced diet. Encourage your child to express their fears or worries with you; continue to re- mind your child that it is normal to have concerns. Avoid giving your child reassurance (i.e., "Don't worry about it so much! Ev- erything will be just fine! "); instead, en- courage your child to problem-solve and make a plan to act on specific fears. Role-play different scenarios with your child so he/she will know how to respond when placed in uncomfortable situations. Model appropriate responses and fo- cus on developing healthy coping skills for yourself. Focus on the positive rather than dwell- ing on negative thoughts/feelings; try to replace negative emotions with some- thing positive. Praise your child and reward them for efforts at positive behavior. There may be times when your child is in need of more extensive services to help them cope with anxiety. The Anxi- ety and Depression Association of Amer- ica reports that 80 % of children with di- agnosable anxiety disorders do not seek out or receive treatment. Moreover, research has shown that untreated children are at higher risk of performing poorly in school, engaging in substance abuse, and isolating them- selves from peers and other social situ- ations. As a parent or guardian, it is im- portant to heed the warning signs of anxi- ety that may cause abnormal physical and emotional distress and seek out the prop- er treatment for your child.

Winslow Patoka Riv- er hasn't risen any, but has dropped a little because the rain we had on Friday, Au- gust 14 was very little, on- ly about .2 inches. On Tues- day, August 18, we got two drops. Most of Tuesday's rain was along the Ohio River and if it came up north, when it reached Winslow, it stopped and began again on the oth- er side of Winslow. Yes, it re- ally happened. A fter the two drops of rain came on Tues- day, we could open up our win- dows and turn on the fans if needed because the northeast winds blew in some cooler temps of 85 with no humidity, and 60s at night for two days. By the weekend of August 27, the humidity will be back and the higher temps also. It was nice to feel the wind blowing through the house and the an- imals were happy also. Last Friday, Norm and Na- than got off work early since they worked the emergency fix in town. So, Norm and I decid- ed to get away for the day. He needed some guitar strings, so we went to an Evansville guitar store, but when we got there, we were early because they open at noon. So, we went to the riverfront, where we saw a barge going west and it was transporting a crane. It was a sight to see. We drove around the area to see where the roads led and we didn't get lost this time, but Fulton runs into Kratzville Rd. and Darmstadt runs into First Ave. We trav- eled on the bricks of downtown Main St., where a few people were walking. Then, it was al- most time for the guitar store to open and they were out of the strings he really wanted, so he got what they had there and a new cord that doesn't hum. We carry our masks in the truck and in my purse for those times we need to put them on and nowadays, that's everywhere. The Hwy. 57 skel- etons have been seen sitting on the hill. The little one is sitting down. Dad has a yel- low vest on and Mom is hold- ing a sign that reads, "Wear Masks." They all are wearing their masks. I also texted Kya- na to have a really great happy 15th birthday. Saturday, August 15, Norm and Steve were out most of the day cutting up some trees for that needed firewood. They have more to cut up. Then, they were asked if they would like more firewood. They both said yes and thanks to both places. Saturday was also the day Mom came down for a two- week visit and they also brought a recliner for her to use, but I sat in it and since it rocks, as well as reclines, I told her it's mine when she goes back home. I like rockers. Sunday was mowing day be- fore it got too high, so I went out to take a small tree out of the rose bush and to clip off more Blackeyed-Susans, so they could be mulched up for next year's growth. Then I set all the solar lights and deco- rations back into place. This year, I saw quite a few grass- hoppers in the garden spot and last week, I saw some hap- py toads. Haven't seen either one of these for many years and now they are back. Terri and Ted came in to visit with Mom and Terri felt a lot better and looked great also. So, af- ter they left, Mom, Norm and I need to get out, so we took a drive to Mt. Carmel since Hwy. 64 is now open to traffic. They have widened the road and paved most of that sec- tion. Mom loves to ride around and see what has changed, and as we drove around Winslow, there were many areas that she remembered to be a nice place. Now, houses are burnt up and some building are fall- ing down. However, Brown- stown looks better than when she lived here. Tuesday, Mom got to vis- it with Janice and Thursday, she got to visit Aunt Jean. She hopes to see them both again before she leaves. Moms' dog, Missy, has a chain that needs a swivel so it doesn't knot up like it did the other night. She makes so ma- ny circles that when I tried to unwind the chain, it broke a link and I just so happened to have a fix for that. Wednesday was pay bills day, so one bill was for the trucks, so off we all went to Jasper with the windows down and hair blowing in the wind. The rest of the bills were through the mail delivery ex- cept for the water bill. We put that in the drop box since town hall closes at 3 p.m. Our gro- cery shopping will be one lat- er this week. We had a gourd plant given to us and now we have the cut- est little baby gourd, and yes, they are cute for a gourd. They are about a thumb length long or smaller. It's been so nice outside that our last two Winslow Lions meetings have been at Mill- er's Field shelterhouse. The meetings are great until the mosquitoes try to take over with their buzzing in your ear or with bites that you don't feel until you start itching. At least they wait and don't bug us un- til our meeting is finishing up. Two of our newest Lions have tied the knot. On Satur- day, August 22, Maddie Gam- ble married Scott Arnold at Mt. Pisgah G.B. Church. We all wish them many years of the love they have for each oth- er on this happy day. Congrat- ulations, Mr. and Mrs. Scott and Maddie Arnold. The sunflowers that I see in the area are growing taller ev- ery week. The patch on Hwy. 64, by the small field, are still taller than the weeds. There is a patch by a house trailer and they are taller than the trail- er. That picture, I believe, was seen on Channel 7's weather. I have never seen the sunflow- ers grow that high. They must really love this year's weather. Not much more going on that I can think of, but the hu- midity is here again and will stay around for a little longer, with the windows closed an the air turned on. As the lights begin to dim, keep an eye on family and friends. Slow down and watch for the school bus- es and children walking. En- joy your area of new wonders. Pray that our states improve with the virus. As always, smile, wave and say "hi" to ev- eryone you see this week.
