Country Cousin 7/6/22

Shirley Prudhomme

Thank you, WPS!

Once again we in TIMESLand were blessed with some wonderful weather for the Fourth of July weekend. Hot, but wonderful! No rain until Monday, which was the Big Day itself, but up until then the sun was shining and skies were mostly blue, except at night, when stars and fireflies were busy twinkling.

Looking forward to even better weather for the coming week, mostly sunshine, and not quite so hot. High temperatures are predicted to be from the mid 70s to lower 80s, and nights should be great around the campfire, with low temperatures mostly just a degree or so below 60. No rain predicted until Monday, which is good news for Marinette's Logging and Heritage Festival this coming Saturday and Sunday.

CELEBRATE AMERICA

Once again we celebrated the birth of our wonderful nation with fireworks, parades, picnics and other summertime fun.

And despite the naysayers, we do indeed have much to celebrate. Our land is truly the land of the free, the home of the brave, and also the home of the prosperous and well fed.?Yes, some are homeless and hungry, but they generally have other problems like mental or drug related issues. Wonder where else in the world folks complain about being broke, and then realize there isn't room in the fridge for all the food they have to put in it??

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

We have plenty of food today in large part because of the bravery of our nation's Founding Fathers, who rebelled against King George of England back in 1776.?Their forefathers, the settlers who came here first, had a taste of freedom because they were so far from the monarchs of Europe. Because of that freedom they also had prosperity. They rebelled when King George tried to take that freedom and prosperity from them.

The leaders of that rebellion - our nation's Founding Fathers - invented a form of government by the common man that was brand new to the world of their day. Signers of the Declaration of Independence came from all 13 colonies, and ranged in age from Edward Rutledge, 26, to Ben Franklin, who was 70.

How can we ever thank God enough for assembling such an incredibly brave, intelligent and selfless group of men as He did back in 1776 when they gathered to draft the Declaration of Independence?

Somewhere, back in the days of Adam and Eve, the ancestors of these men were already carrying the genes that would be handed down until the time came for their greatness to grow in the fertile soil of America.

It cannot have been an accident. Surely God provided for this to happen. Maybe He chose this nation to be a leader of freedom because the first white settlers who came here did not come seeking their fortunes. They braved the unknown wilderness for the right to worship Him as they chose. History classes in public schools don't seem to teach that any more, but that is a fact.

On this raw and untamed continent, the descendants of those first settlers and many who came later rebelled against the tyranny of their English monarch his minions. Their rebellion led to the creation of not just a new nation, but a whole new idea of government.

It's hard to realize today just how much these men risked by even gathering together to discuss just what could be done about the tyranny practiced by England's King George and carried out by his red coat armies. Much of the Constitution, and most of the protections in the Bill of Rights were put there because of the hard lessons the Colonists had learned from the minions of British despots.?If the Revolution had been unsuccessful these Founding Fathers would doubtless all have been executed as traitors and their fortunes confiscated. But it did not fail, and America was born.

NEW IDEAS

Where did their ideas come from?

These men grew up in different parts of the colonies.

They were not educated in the same schools, most likely did not read the same publications, and most certainly were not influenced by television or radio broadcasters since there weren't any in those days.

Yet they came together to declare independence from England, and many of them later worked together to form the foundations of the newly created United States of America. Granted, the Republic they crafted is not perfect, but they put in place the tools to keep working toward that goal. Those who would destroy our way of government don't admit it, but the rebels who formed this nation even put in provisions to end slavery. If you're doubtful, do some fact checking. ?

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

How many of us have ever read the historic words over which these great men labored, and for which they risked their own rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness??In their honor, let's do it today!

It reads:

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,

"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

"Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

"He (King George) has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

"He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

"He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

"He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

"He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

"He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

"He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

"He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.

"He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

"He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.

"He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

"He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

"He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

"For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

"For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

"For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

"For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

"For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:

"For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences

"For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, (Canada) establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:

"For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

"For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

"He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

"He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

"He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

"He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

"He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

"In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

"Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

"We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."

That Declaration of Independence started the Revolutionary War, and eventually led to creation of the United States of America.

Was appalled at the answers given by a number of college students this weekend when Jesse Waters of Watter's World on Fox News asked them about the American Revolution.

Their ignorance about this nation and how it came to be was astounding. Please, parents and grandparents, urge your kids to read the Declaration, so they at least know some of the reasons America came to be. Lots of great movies were made about the abuses mentioned in the Declaration of Independence. Maybe have the family watch some of them, with a history lesson in mind.

ON THE SOAP BOX

GOOD SERVICE

We hear much criticism of corporate America these days, and all too seldom do we recognize the good deeds and great service that some of them provide.

Talking here about Wisconsin Public Service, where crews accomplished some almost impossible tasks getting electric service restored so quickly after the storms on June 15.

With thousands of trees down on hundreds of miles of wires, WPS managed to get electricity restored to most homes and businesses within three days.

That is an incredible accomplishment.

Thank goodness that company is privately owned and operated. If it were run by the government someone would still be filling out the forms needed to work on the downed lines, and we'd still be using candles.

Let's also give WPS (and other power companies) credit for managing to keep our bills relatively low, while all other prices headed for outer space.

Granted, here in Wisconsin prices charged by utilities, including Wisconsin Public Service (WPS) are regulated by the Public Service Commission, but if these companies were not so efficient, the prices that get approved would be much higher.

And WPS and other public utility providers generally are good citizens and often generous backers of community events.

It's time to say "thank you" to them, and another thank you to the politicians of an earlier day who decided to let private enterprise run the business of providing electric service to the public.

GROWIN' THINGS

Want to learn about growing mushrooms? Field and Forest Products of Peshtigo is holding a Free Mushroom Field Day and Farm Tour on Thursday, July 14, from 12:30 to 4 p.m. at its demonstration and research farm, N3296 Kozuzek Road, Peshtigo. No fee to attend, but pre-registration is required. Call 800-792-6220 to reserve a spot. A USDA Specialty Crop Bloc Grant is funding the event.

COOKIN' TIME

Summer. Lots of good things to eat, usually lots of folks to share them with, and often too hot to cook indoors.

GREEK CHICKEN PITAS

4 lemons

4 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast pieces

6 whole pita breads

6 skewers

1 carton refrigerated Tzatziki Sauce, or 1 batch Cucumber Sauce (Recipe follows)

Toppings: chopped tomatoes, chopped cucumber, diced onion, minced dill weed

Cut three of the lemons in half crosswise and squeeze their juice into a large bowl. Whisk in oil, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Add chicken; turn to coat. Refrigerate 1 hour, and fire up the grill. Drain chicken, discarding marinade. Thinly slice the remaining lemon. On 6 metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternately thread chicken and lemon slices. Grill kabobs, covered, over medium heat until chicken is no longer pink, about 10 minutes, turning occasionally. Remove chicken from skewers. Discard lemon slices. Serve chicken with pita bread, tzatziki or cucumber sauce and toppings as desired. Drizzle with additional olive oil if desired.

CUCUMBER SAUCE

This is superb over salmon loaf or salmon patties or any baked or poached fish, and with a little garlic added it's a natural with thinly sliced firm garlicky meat loaf or roast beef on a pseudo-Gyro sandwich. Good on a real Gyro too, and the chicken gyros in the recipe above.

3 large cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and chunked

1 teaspoon dried dill weed

1 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1/2 cup sour cream

Whirr cucumber pieces in food processor until they're finely chopped, but not mushy. (Or, mince them finely by hand.) Sprinkle on salt and let sit for perhaps half an hour. Place in a plastic colander to drain off excess juice, then put into a bowl and stir in the dill weed, salt, pepper, and lemon juice and mix well. Fold in the sour cream. Taste to see if it needs more seasonings. Chill thoroughly before serving.

SUPER EASY CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

Great dessert, no cooking required.

4 ounces semi-sweet baking bar finely chopped, or other type chocolate, including dark chocolate

1 tablespoon salted butter

1 teaspoon instant coffee (optional, but better)

1/3 cup powdered sugar

1/4 cup dutch processed cocoa powder

1 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled

1 teaspoon vanilla

Whipped topping, optional

Put the chopped chocolate, butter, and instant coffee into a large microwavable bowl. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted. You may still see the instant coffee granules, that's okay. Set aside. Sift the powdered sugar and cocoa powder together, set aside. Put the heavy cream into a large bowl and whip until frothy. Slowly add the sifted powdered sugar and cocoa powder a little at a time until fully combined, scraping down sides as needed. Stir in the vanilla. Continue to whip until stiff peaks form, do not over beat. Fold one third of the whipped cream into the melted chocolate bowl until no streaks are left. Do this two more times, being very gentle while folding it in. Do not try to cheat and do it all at once. Divide the fluffy mixture into four serving bowls. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until serving time. Serve topped with whipped topping if desired. Store in fridge for up to three days, or cover tightly and freeze for up to three months.

Thought for the week: On this Fourth of July week, let us give thanks to Him who saw to it that our nation's founders came together at the right time on the face of the Earth to form a new nation, and let us pray that those of us who follow are alert and aware enough to protect the Tree of Liberty that they planted and keep it growing! Lord, in so many ways this nation is going the wrong way. Please give us the nudge we need to turn back to You. Amen.
