JULY 2009 NEWSLETTER



PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

Happy Independence Day !

Looking forward to the 4th of July celebration being chaired by Jim and Linda Otto.

It would be nice to see some of the new residents become involved in chairing these community events. It seems that it is becoming harder and harder finding volunteers to take on the responsibility for the various events. In order to continue as in the past, we need those volunteers.

The weather has been hot lately so you need to take the necessary precautions to stay healthy.

-Try to stay out of the sunlight for prolonged periods of time.
-Drink plenty of water.
-Wear a hat.

Looks like a lot of people in the park have invested in new lawns. The rain has even helped to bring back a lot of the lawns with brown spots.

Thanks to Irene & Bill Kramer for the many ads that help support our monthly newsletter.

We should all check the newsletter before we go to the yellow pages. There are all kinds of services advertised. Use these services and don't forget to mention Saddle Oak Club.

A few additional reminders.

-Curb your dogs and pick up after them.

-Park speed limit is still 15 MPH.

-When walking in the evening, wear light colored clothing, walk against traffic, and carry some kind of light.

Be careful and have a safe July...

-- Dick Ouimette

THANK YOU!

Thank you, Saddle Oak friends, who were concerned about my health this past couple of months.

Because of my blacking out a couple of times, I had a Pacemaker put in. Yes, I know for most everyone who has had them in the past, they went smoothly. But it was difficult for me, so I spent 7 nights in the hospital and developed very bad dizziness after I came home. The past week I am doing great.

So a big thank you to the Association, people who gave me cards, those who asked Rose about me, and a special thank you to Rose who took such good care of me.

I should return to bowling soon. Thank you.
-- Bob Robinson

Sincerely,
Angie Bauman

A Note From the North Country
By Marj Banczak

We are here in this vacation land where the country roads wander under a canopy of green leaves, It is a land of rivers, lakes and tourists. It is a land of birds and wildlife.

Summer guests favor this beautiful green area and we find many cottages and summer homes that rim the lakes. We see the fisherman on the water, swimmers and boats anchored to the piers that extend into the water.

Wild animals are plentiful with young deer dashing from the woods into the road. We drive carefully expecting them. In the fields we see flocks of wild turkeys feeding their young and the tall sand cranes pay little mind to us as we pass. A pair of robins have a nest under the eves of the deck of the house. We have watched the little ones demand food and struggle to flap their wings as they prepare to fly. Sadly, today they glided out of the nest and were gone.

Wild Rose has a population of 735 people. Not much is available for shopping so we make the 40 mile trip to Oshkosh on a regular basis.

All in all, Wisconsin is a great place to be in the Summer! It was cool when we arrived, in the 50’s, but it has warmed up now! It is 72 degrees plus in the daytime.

We love and miss you all! Greetings come from Mike and Nancy, too!

Be happy, love much and laugh often!

INGREDIENTS SERVES 4

1 lemon
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley plus extra sprigs for garnish
1A tsp. dried thyme 1/4 tsp. dried marjoram 1/4 tsp. salt '/4 tsp. black pepper
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 6 oz. each)

EASY STEP-BY-STEP STEP

Use a peeler to remove strips of zest from half of the lemon, then trim into fine strips with a small knife. Reserve and set aside. Grate the other side of the lemon to make 1 tablespoon zest. Finally, squeeze the juice from the lemon into a bowl.

In a large bowl, combine the lemon zest and juice, oil, garlic, parsley, thyme, marjoram, salt and pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and spoon the marinade over the chicken until well coated. Cover with plastic wrap. Chill for 30 minutes, or overnight if you have time.

Preheat the griddle, grill or broiler to medium heat.
Put the chicken pieces on the griddle, reserving marinade.
Cook chicken until cooked through, about 10 minutes on each side. Brush with reserved marinade 2-3 times during cooking.
Sprinkle with reserved lemon strips and serve immediately garnished with parsley sprigs.

GREAT IDEAS

• The easiest way to prevent lemon zest from sticking to a grater is to brush it off with a pastry brush. You can also use the brush to baste the chicken with the marinade in Step 3.
