General Mills Releases New Lucky Charms With 15 Percent Less Leprechaun Meat

September 23, 2011 | ISSUE 47•38

MINNEAPOLIS—Saying that Lucky Charms is "as magically delicious as ever but now lower in magically saturated fats," General Mills announced Friday it would begin making the cereal with 15 percent less leprechaun meat.

"Lucky Charms will still have the same great taste and marshmallowy goodness, but now only the tastiest, leanest parts of the leprechaun will be used," a press release read in part, noting that the Lucky Charms recipe had not changed since 1964, when leprechaun meat was first added as an emulsifier. "As always, we use only natural colorings and flavorings in our cereals, which is why you may still sometimes find a wee hat in your bowl." The announcement comes only weeks after General Mills discontinued the use of ground rhinoceros in Wheaties.

National 4-H week - Journal-Advocate

W hat do Roy Rogers, Dolly Parton, Orville Redenbacher, Reba McEntire, Herschel Walker, Dan Reeves, and Johnny Carson all have in common? They are all 4-H alumni!

This week celebrated National 4-H week. All across the country new faces are learning about the program, and alumni are recalling the great times they had in 4-H and all of the important life skills they learned. Become part of the action, enroll today!

The 4-H program was established in 1902 and has steadily progressed to where it is today. Today 4-H is the largest informal youth education program. The symbol for 4-H is a four leaf clover. Each of the leaves represents one of the H's: Head, Heart, Hands, and Health. The 4-H pledge incorporates the whole self. It is: I pledge my HEAD to clearer thinking, my HEART to greater loyalty, my HANDS to larger service and my HEALTH to better living for my club, my community, my country and my world. The 4-H colors are white, representing purity or wholesomeness, and green, representing life, growth, and youth. The informal education process that the 4-H program uses is "Learning by Doing." We want all youth, ages 8-18, to do just that! Youth ages 5-7 can enroll in "Cloverbuds" which is a non-competitive introduction to 4-H.

A common misconception of 4-H is that it is only for farm kids or that you have to live on a farm to be in 4-H. Neither of these is true. Today, 4-H involves more than 6.5 million young people from cities, suburbs, rural areas, farms and everything in between. 4-H has many activities that are not animal-related. These include gardening, sportfishing, ceramics, photography, woodworking, cake decorating, clothing, robotics, model rocketry, plus many more. There are also small animal projects that would be easy to do for kids living in town, such as rabbit and dog projects.

This week current 4-H'ers visited the grade schools to talk about their projects and experiences in 4-H. If you are interested and want more information please call or stop by the Extension Office and we would love to answer your questions and get new youth enrolled. We have 14 great 4-H clubs all across the county and would love to match you with the best fit for your family.

The 4-H program also offers many great leadership and citizenship trips, camps and opportunities that teach great life skills such as communication, citizenship, decision-making, leadership, interpersonal relations and community and global awareness. These skills help set 4-H members apart when it comes time to apply for college, scholarships, and jobs. Get your child ahead of the game with this great program. 4-H is great, get into it!

The Logan County Extension Office will be hosting a 4-H open house on Thursday, Oct. 20, at 7 p.m. This open house will display the many different project areas and have people available for any questions you may have.

Finding a spiritual center By Christina Kristofic Staff Writer Calkins Media, Inc. | 2 comments

Shortly after JoAnn Maroney's daughter died in 1995, Maroney went to Our Lady of Czestochowa and asked God for a sign that her daughter was OK. She finished her prayer and walked to her car, and found a four-leaf clover.

"I knew it was a sign," she said. She had never found a four-leaf clover before.

She started finding four-leaf clovers everywhere — in her backyard, in parks. She took each finding as a sign. The signs led her to the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in Massachusetts, which has a labyrinth where she found another four-leaf clover. She took that as another sign and visited more labyrinths, where she found more four-leaf clovers.

"I'm not one of those woo-woo people. I'm kind of a normal person. I'm a businesswoman," she said. "I think you have to be open to these things. I think we all, probably, if we were open to these things, would find more signs, if you will."

Maroney decided she needed to create a community labyrinth.

She thought the James A. Michener Art Museum would be the perfect place to do it. And so did the museum board.

"We're thrilled with the notion of working with the neighbors," said Bruce Katsiff, director of the museum. "While the Michener tries to have a national presence, we are still a community-based organization. We have not lost sight of the fact."

Katsiff said a community labyrinth will be a historical, cultural and artistic addition to the museum's offerings.

"Labyrinths have a long history. They go back to medieval times," Katsiff said.

"It's an introduction to a kind of environmental sculpture. Today, there are many artists who do site-specific work. Labyrinths are kind of an early example of that. ... It will add an experience for visitors to see what a labyrinth is like."

A labyrinth is typically a flat circular or elliptical area with a path that follows a circuitous route from the exterior to the interior. The center of the labyrinth is visible from all places along the route, as are the entrance and exit (which are the same).

"Just when you think you're close to the center, it pulls you from the center," Maroney said of a labyrinth's path. "It really replicates the journey of life. Where am I going? Where do I belong? All the questions you ask yourself."

Walking in a labyrinth becomes a kind of meditation. Maroney said, "You really have to focus on putting one foot in front of the other. You kind of start letting go of all the distractions. You kind of start to just be open and receptive to the thoughts that come in."

The museum agreed to let Maroney and the committee she formed — of friends, neighbors, a landscape architect and a labyrinth designer — use some land it owns at the corner of Ashland and Pine streets.

Maroney said she originally was concerned that the corner was busy and the traffic would disrupt the peace of the labyrinth, but a labyrinth designer told her the site was perfect and "the labyrinth will bring some peace to this busy intersection and provide balance."

Maroney and her committee expect the labyrinth to cost $10,000 to $12,000. They are collecting donations of money, materials and volunteer hours. The Michener Museum already has donated $1,000 to the project.

Maroney said she hopes to break ground on the labyrinth in March and finish it by May.
