DATELINE: YOUR TRAVELING EDITORS

In May, Kelly & Margaret took a trip up to Mackinac Island. They stayed at the Grand Hotel on the front of the island. Besides the gourmet meals provided by the hotel, your editors took an 8 mile bike ride around the island, toured Fort Mackinac, did a lot of hiking, sightseeing, and danced the night away with the sounds of the Grand Hotel Orchestra. Although the weather was chilly and rainy sometimes, they had a wonderful time.

In June, Kelly & Margaret flew into Seattle and drove down to Bend, Oregon for a week. They spent time with Chris, Amanda, and the grand kids, Alexa & Cooper. It was an awesome week, and it went so quickly. Besides doing a hike around Lake Todd by Mt. Bachelor (where there still was a lot of snow to navigate), your editors spent time at the pool, went to the Old Mill, saw Amanda and Chris' new office, and just had a ball with the little ones (who are growing up so fast). Thank you Chris, Amanda, Alexa and Cooper for your hospitality. We had a great time.

Gull Lake XXX2 is in the books. It was just a wonderful event with the weather very summer like. The temperatures ranged in the mid eighties, with humid conditions. This did not take away from the great play. Congratulations to this years big money winner Steve McCarty, and this years' skin champion Glenn Lukas. Last years' champion Kelly hobbled around the course with a broken toe, and even though he finished back in the pack, it was a great time. You can see the photos taken by Bob by clicking here.

DATELINE: MCCARTY METRO BIGGEST LOSER

The McCarty Metro Biggest Loser competition has come to an end. It started on January 1, and continued until June 1. The object of the competition was to share ideas with other Metro subscribers, and to help those that signed up a way to become healthier and lose weight after the new year. Our team came back to the McCarty Metro every 10 days to record their progress. Congratulations to our group for losing over 110 pounds. I am so proud of all of you that participated. You also inspired me in my quest to become healthier so I can be around and enjoy my grandkids as much as possible. I know I will take what I learned and continue on my quest. I hope our team does as well. Again... Thank you to our 12 competitors... I couldn't have done this alone. Below are the final results as of June 1.

This article was submitted by Miss Sabo, Mike's former English teacher from George Ford, from a publication called "The Dalesman", a magazine in England from May, 1998.	. Sauce for the Gander W A Illsley servers up an unusual Dales recipe .
	My cousin Vera has recently sent me a cookery book, once the property of her mother, which must date at least from the early part of this century. Entitled The Leyburn Cookery Book, it was printed by T. Hiscock, the Wensleydale Press, on heavy watermarked drawing paper, o the small sheets being simply folded in half, kept together by a piece of knotted cord, and covered with a cardboard case bearing the title and a charming little drawing. The preface, which is unattributed, explains the purpose of the compilation: "The way to a boy's heart is through his stomach," it is said. We hope that the pockets of the good people of Leyburn may be successfully approached by way of the same imperious organ.

"To provide money for a new Piano for the Church Room, we offer Recipes tried and trusted at fifteen a penny, with a few thrown in free."

If I haven't miscounted, there are 199 recipes, which, if the Preface is to be taken literally, might indicate that the book sold for the price of one shilling. The recipes cover a wide range of both plain and more exotic fare, extending from Wood Pigeons, Stewed, and Sheep's Head and Brain Sauce, to Lobster, Cream of, Nurse Payne's Walnut Caramel, and even Croquettes de Vermicelli au Parmesan.

There are many dishes in this well-chosen selection that are worth trying but there is on page 32 a recipe - reproduced above - from I. Chapman which I have never encountered in any other book.,..and which surely should be made universally available.

'How To Cook A Husband'

First of all, catch him. Having done so, the mode of cooking him so as to make a good dish of him as follows: Many good husbands are spoiled in the cooking. Some women go about it as if their husbands were bladders and blow them up; others keep them constantly in hot water, while others freeze them by conjugal coolness; some smother them in hatred, contention and variance, and some keep them in pickle all their lives. These women always serve them up with tongue sauce.

Now it cannot be supposed that husbands will be tender and good if managed in this way, but they are, on the contrary, very delicious when managed as follows: Get a large jar called the jar of carefulness, which all good wives have on hand, place your husband in it and set him near the fire of conjugal love, let the fire be pretty hot, but especially let it be clear; above all, let the heat be constant; cover him over with affection, kindness and subjection; garnish with modesty, becoming familiarity and the spice of pleasantry, and if you add kisses and other confectioneries let them he accompanied with a sufficient portion of secrecy, mixed with prudence and moderation. All good wives ought to try this receipt and realize how admirable a dish a husband is when properly cooked.

MARRIAGE ADVICE FROM 1886

Let your love be stronger than your hate or anger. Learn the wisdom of compromise, for it is better to bend a little than to break. Believe the best rather than the worst. People have a way of living up or down to your opinion of them. Remember that true friendship is the basis for any lasting relationship. The person you choose to marry is deserving of the courtesies and kindnesses you bestow on your friends.

Dear Editor: Hope all is going well for you and your family. I don't really have anything to submit this time, but just wondered if a "McCarty Man Cave" page would work.  There are so many guys in your family, they could post photos of cars, motorcycles, boats, first car clunker stories, muscle car memories, or any other guy stuff, kind of like a McCarty version of Jay Leno's Garage. Thanks again for all you do. -Peggy ED NOTE: Thanks Peggy for the kind words. The challenge is issued to one of my brother's who is looking for a monthly article. In a side note... My brother Jerry is good friends with Jay Leno. In fact, Jay reads the McCarty Metro. I have also been to his garage a few times, and it is awesome.

Dear Editor: Are you aware that the infamous McCarty gang once roamed the West? That is, until the Lone Ranger and Tonto put 'em in jail in the 1951 TV episode "Trouble at Black Rock." I don't recall seeing this gang on the "McCarty Memories" page.r-- Historically Challenged in GR
