Sweet Onion-Rhubarb Sauce
GREAT on Roasted Pork or Chicken INGREDIENTS
4 Tsp Extra-Virgin Olive Oil 1 ½ Tsp Ground Coriander 1 Tsp Kosher Salt ¼ Tsp Ground Pepper 1-1 ¼ Lbs. Pork Tenderloin 1 Lrg Sweet Onion, sliced 2-4 Tbsp. Water 2 Cups Diced Rhubarb ¼ Cup Red-wine Vinegar ¼ Cup Brown Sugar ¼ Cup Minced Fresh Chives
PREPARATION
1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. Mix 1 teaspoon oil, coriander, 1/2 teaspoon
salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture
into pork. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large
ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the
pork and cook, turning occasionally, until brown
on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the pan to
the oven and roast the pork until an instant-read
thermometer registers 145°F, 15 to 17 minutes.
Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
3. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons
oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add onion and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt;
cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 7 to 8
minutes. Add 2 tablespoons water; continue
cooking, stirring often, until the onion is soft, 5 to
7 minutes more, adding water a tablespoon at a
time if necessary to prevent burning. Stir in rhu-
barb, vinegar and brown sugar and cook, stirring
often, until the rhubarb has broken down, about 5
minutes. Spoon the sauce over the sliced pork
and sprinkle with chives.

Recognizing Symptoms of a Heart Attack
Classical symptoms of a heart attack include:
Severe chest pain (like squeezing, or a heaviness, or pressing) at the central or left part of the chest,
lasting usually for at least 20 min. The pain may also radiate to the left upper arm, neck or jaw.
Profuse sweating and a feeling of impending doom.
“About 90 per cent of heart attack sufferers experience the classical symptoms. However, the elderly,
females and those suffering from diabetes may develop non-classical heart attack symptoms. These
include shortness of breath, mild chest pain, nausea, vomiting and pain in the epigastric region (upper
central portion of the abdomen),” says Dr. Chin Chee Tang, Senior Consultant, Department of
Cardiology, National Heart Centre Singapore (NHCS), a member of the SingHealth group.
What to do when a heart attack occurs?
Should you experience a heart attack – regardless of whether you’re alone or in the presence of others –
the very first thing to do is to call for emergency medical help. You need specialized treatment to be
delivered to you as quickly as possible in order to save your heart muscle. “Should you be alone when a
heart attack occurs, stop whatever you’re doing, proceed to a safe place to rest and call for medical help.
For example, if you’re driving, first pull to the side of the road and call for aid,” advises Dr. Chin.
What you could do while waiting for medical help to arrive?
Large studies have also shown that taking an aspirin – the most commonly taken blood thinning
medication in the world – during a heart attack improves survival. Most cases of heart attack are caused
by a blood clot forming in one of the blood vessels responsible for supplying blood to the heart. The
resulting blockage deprives the heart of oxygen-rich blood, causing damage to the heart muscle, which
progressively dies. Taking an aspirin during a heart attack may help as it prevents the clot from getting
bigger, giving the body a chance to break down the blood clot. If you have aspirin at home, and you
know that you are not allergic to it, then you could consider taking it while waiting for the emergency
medical services to arrive.

Details To Be Announced.
Almost 30% of people over 65 fall each year.
90% of all hip fractures are associated with falls.
Unintentional fall is the 7th leading cause of death among people 65+.
Falls are a primary reason why Seniors become home bound.
The tendency to fall increases with age, but fall prevention is effec-
tive at any age, & should be part of everyone’s good health habits.
What is A Matter of Balance?
Many older adults experience a fear of falling. People who develop this fear often limit their
activities, which can result in physical weakness, making the risk of falling even greater.
A Matter of Balance: Managing Concerns About Falls is a program designed to reduce the
fear of falling and increase activity levels among older adults.
Who Should Attend A Matter of Balance?
The program was designed to benefit older adults who:
Are concerned about falls
Have sustained falls in the past
Restrict activities because of concerns about falling
Are interested in improving flexibility, balance and strength
Are age 60 or older, ambulatory and able to problem solve
Call (636) 528-7000 for information & class
schedules.
On Monday, May 16th the Kids Care Club at Clarence Cannon Elementary in Elsberry hosted
their annual walk-a-thon to raise money for the Lincoln County Council on Aging! Under the
leadership of their guidance counselor, Donna Kientzy, the kids were able to raise $885 for
LCCOA's home-delivered meals program. "We are extremely thankful to the Kids Care Club for
hosting their annual Kids Care Walk!", says Lindsey Kelley with LCCOA. For residents who may
not know, Meals On Wheels does not serve Lincoln County, Missouri. So in 1978 a group of
women started the organization to help our neighbors and LCCOA's been doing it ever since!

Stories from Silex Ashley’s Article
RIDDLE WHAT GOES UP BUT NEVER GOES DOWN?

Summer will officially be here this month! The 20th to be exact. This is the time of year I start dreaming of fall. I sure don’t like the heat that summer brings, but I do enjoy the flowers, hummingbirds and fresh veggies. We are so lucky to have generous gardeners donate their produce to our center for us to enjoy every year. After the garden disaster most had last year, I am even more anxious than usual for a ripe tomato and fresh sweet corn! My garden is doing very well so far. I planted more tomatoes than I should have…but hey…I guess I need to make up for last year! I am sad to report that our community lost a very special person last month. Charlie Kyhl passed away on May 16th. Charlie was such a blast to be around. His stories, advice, book recommendations and all around bluntness is something I am going to truly miss. I could, and often did talk to Charlie for hours when he was here. And I cherish every one of those conversations. I loved seeing him and his wife Nancy when they would volun-teer, and the countless contributions they made to our center here in Silex will never be forgotten. This month we will be celebrating Flag Day on the 14th, Father’s Day on the 19th, and the first official day of summer on June 20th. Happy Father’s Day to all of the dads out there!!
Until next month, Ashley

ICE PACK Freezing dish soap is an easy way to make an ice pack that stays frozen longer
than a water-based pack would. Bonus: They’re also re-freezable, and when
you’re done, you still have dish soap for various other household uses.

Angel’s Angle Riddle Answer : Age! TROY The History of Flag Day
The Fourth of July was traditionally celebrated as America's birthday, but the idea of an annual
day specifically celebrating the Flag is believed to have first originated in 1885. BJ Cigrand, a school-
teacher, arranged for the pupils in the Fredonia, Wisconsin Public School, District 6, to observe June 14
(the 108th anniversary of the official adoption of The Stars and Stripes) as 'Flag Birthday'. In numerous
magazines and newspaper articles and public addresses over the following years, Cigrand continued to
enthusiastically advocate the observance of June 14 as 'Flag Birthday', or 'Flag Day'.
On June 14, 1889, George Balch, a kindergarten teacher in New York City, planned appropriate
ceremonies for the children of his school, and his idea of observing Flag Day was later adopted by the
State Board of Education of New York. On June 14, 1891, the Betsy Ross House in Philadelphia held a
Flag Day celebration, and on June 14 of the following year, the New York Society of the Sons of the Rev-
olution, celebrated Flag Day.
Following the suggestion of Colonel J Granville Leach (at the time historian of the Pennsylvania
Society of the Sons of the Revolution), the Pennsylvania Society of Colonial Dames of America on April
25, 1893 adopted a resolution requesting the mayor of Philadelphia and all others in authority and all pri-
vate citizens to display the Flag on June 14th. Leach went on to recommend that thereafter the day be
known as 'Flag Day', and on that day, school children be assembled for appropriate exercises, with each
child being given a small Flag.
Two weeks later on May 8th, the Board of Managers of the Pennsylvania Society of Sons of the
Revolution unanimously endorsed the action of the Pennsylvania Society of Colonial Dames. As a result
of the resolution, Dr. Edward Brooks, then Superintendent of Public Schools of Philadelphia, directed that
Flag Day exercises be held on June 14, 1893 in Independence Square. School children were assembled,
each carrying a small Flag, and patriotic songs were sung and addresses delivered.
In 1894, the governor of New York directed that on June 14 the Flag be displayed on all public
buildings. With BJ Cigrand and Leroy Van Horn as the moving spirits, the Illinois organization, known as
the American Flag Day Association, was organized for the purpose of promoting the holding of Flag Day
exercises. On June 14th, 1894, under the auspices of this association, the first general public school chil-
dren's celebration of Flag Day in Chicago was held in Douglas, Garfield, Humboldt, Lincoln, and Wash-
ington Parks, with more than 300,000 children participating.
Adults, too, participated in patriotic programs. Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of the Interior, delivered
a 1914 Flag Day address in which he repeated words he said the flag had spoken to him that morning: "I
am what you make me; nothing more. I swing before your eyes as a bright gleam of color, a symbol of
yourself."
Inspired by these three decades of state and local celebrations, Flag Day - the anniversary of the
Flag Resolution of 1777 - was officially established by the Proclamation of President Woodrow Wilson on
May 30th, 1916. While Flag Day was celebrated in various communities for years after Wilson's procla-
mation, it was not until August 3rd, 1949, that President Truman signed an Act of Congress designat-
ing June 14th of each year as National Flag Day.
