ST. ANNE’S GUILD Attic Treasures’ Sale Continues...TODAY Sun., Oct. 23rd - 9am-12:30

Did you see that item you had your heart set on Saturday morning! See you at the Parish Hall for some fellowship and last minute purchases – which support the outreach ministry of St. Anne’s Guild.

Proposed riverfront development presentedThe City hosted a presentation last Monday, the 17th, of a riverfront redevelopment idea.It was a result of a preliminary study by Duffield Associates. The City Planning Commission has been involved and the City Council approved funding in the 2011/12 City budget for this study.Citizens voiced their views

and shared opinions. It is important to note that the study's scope is preparation for a waterfront master plan. Boat access is being considered mainly at the end of Delaware Street in the vicinity of the wharf and heading a short distance southwest on the shore of Battery Park. Equally important to note is no permits or funding have be sought or applied for. This meeting was a preliminary introduction only. It does include looking at existing structures such as the wharf and the Banks Building. It also includes the pier which has a locked gate near the end that blocks access to a large concrete structure and several ice pier structures.Some of the tentative ideas which could be part of the redevelopment plan include:• A limited amount of daytime docking to enable boaters to patronize City shops and restaurants and engage in tourist activities;• Appropriate infrastructure installed to allow vessels like the Kalmar Nyckel to dock, and also allow docking for small ferries.• A permanent place for the Good Will Fire Co. to access their rescue boat. This would significantly reduce the response time to emergency calls. ➜ Riverfront PDFs

Continue in small sections until the entire pumpkin is covered.For very thin, translucent paper, you might need to do more than one coat of paper—in that

case, wait until the first coat is dry before applying the second.*Note—For the polka-dot and striped pumpkins, just use an acrylic paint pen! Super simple!

Onions Common onions are normally available in three colors: yellow, red, and white. Yellow onions are full-flavored and are a reliable standby for cooking almost anything. Yellow onions turn a rich, dark brown when cooked and give French onion soup its tangy sweet flavor. The red onion is a good choice for fresh uses or in grilling and char-broiling. White onions are the traditional onion used in classic Mexican cuisine. They have a golden color and sweet flavor when sautéed. While the large mature onion bulb is the onion most often eaten, onions can be eaten at immature stages. Young plants may be harvested before bulbing occurs and used whole as  scallions. [8] When an onion is harvested after bulbing has begun but the onion is not yet mature, the plants are sometimes referred to as summer onions. [9]Additionally, onions may be bred and grown to mature at smaller sizes. Depending on the mature size and the purpose for which the onion is used, these may be referred to as pearl, boiler, or pickler onions. [9] (However, true  pearl onions are a different species.) Pearl and boiler onions may be cooked as a vegetable rather than an ingredient. Pickler onions are, unsurprisingly, often pickled. Onion seed may be "sprouted", and the resulting sprouts used in salads, sandwiches, and other dishes.
