Desp.ite the damp weather, many people
came out to enjoyapple dumplings. It's so
nice when the town has a reason to con-
gregate and socialize. Thank you to all
who peeled apples, made dough, picked
apples, baked, and hauled the thousands
of apples, and to those who served up the
tasty dumplings, worked on setting up
and cleaning afterwards to make the An-
tiques/Applefest a success. Without the
help of many, this event could not take
place.
Now that the Applefest is over, Brush
Creek Mill is planning for their next com-
munity function. The dinner theater will
be onNovember9 at the HillmanElemen-
tary School. The program will include two
O'Henry short stories; "The Gift of the
Maji" and "The Last Leaf." Tickets will be
on sale beginning Oct. 18. They will be
available at Brush Creek Mill, Lickety
Splits, Hillman, Atlanta and Lewiston Li-
braries, and from Brush Creek Mill board
members or volunteers. These short sto-
ries will be acted out by local residents. It
will be a radio style performance where
the scriptsare read in front of the audi-
ence. We have had a lot of successful "ac-
tors" who have read scripts in the past. It's
always an enjoyable evening of entertain-
ment.
We will serve a home made lasagna din-
ner with salads, garlic bread and a variety
of desserts. Advance tickets are $10 and
tickets sold at the door are $12. Doors will
open at 4:45 pm, and dinner will be served
at 5:30 pm. Make plans now to attend this
annual fall event.
Special note: There will not be any Mu-
sic at the Mill during the months of Octo-
ber or November. We are concentrating
on our Christmas programs. We want to
make this years programs memorable for
everyone - children and adults alike.

This is the season of preservation. One of the lastitems
to harvest in the garden is winter squash. There are
severalways to preserve squash. It can be stored in a cool
dry place and kept whole; it can be frozen or canned.
Many times you may hear of people keeping winter
squash whole or freezing because they are quick and
simple to do. So for a change in venue we will explore
canning winter squash. This method has its benefits as
well as the quicker more frequently used methods. One
benefit is the convenience of ready to use anytime it is
needed.
When canning winter squash keep in mind that it is
dense and heavy so following the correct method is
important. Otherwise bacteria can survive and become
harmful if the proper heat does not reach the center of
the jar.
Canning winter Squash;
• Cut open the squash, clean out seeds
• Peel the outer covering off, cut the flesh into one-inch
cubes ,-
• Boil the cubes for two minutes
• Do not pack or mash squash
• Fill jars with cubes, then pour cooking liquid to fill the
jars, leave one-inch headspace
• Place a lid and ring on the jar, do not over tighten
• Squash must be pressure canned because it is a low-
acid vegetable
Dial Gauge pressure canner:
• 12 pounds pressure for 55 minutes for pints
• 12 pounds pressure for 90 minutes for quarts
Weighted gauge pressure canner:
• 15 pounds pressure for 55 minutes for pints
• 15 pounds pressure for 90 minutes for quarts
Michigan State University recommends following food
safety guidelines when preserving foods. It is time to
enjoy the harvest and preserve it for safe food consump-
tion in the future. Winter squash is easy to can and is
easily accessed and utilized for meals all winter.
