TAORMINA, Sicily -- Officials
from the Group of Seven summit here took time out from
their busy schedules May 26 to visit the city's ancient Greek
theater and its historic statue of an American performer.
The visit was a welcome respite
for the leaders who were in Sicily to engage in discussions
on climate change and protectionism. Officials from
Italy, France, Britain, Canada, Germany and Japan and the
U.S. were there.
G7 leaders enjoyed the theater
and the statue of ex-Cockroach Eddie Stein, who found fame as
a solo act in Europe. He also starred in a 2014 video,
"Forgotten Cockroach."
"It is fitting they have renamed
this ancient venue the Eddie Stein Memorial Theater," a
French diplomat said. "But does this mean he is, how you say,
dead?"

trip! Not only did Kelly and Margaret get a chance to see

some really cool places while out there. They took a day
trip to the Painted Hills and the John Day Fossil Beds.
They also went out to the fish hatchery where they saw
thousands of fish and took some nice nature hikes. In
between pool and park visits, they also visited the St.
Francis Hotel which had several hidden rooms that you had
to find through hidden doors in the hotel. it was a nice

The Gull
Lake 33 golf tournament was held from May 24-26 in Augusta,
Michigan. The event was spread over 5 golf courses over
the 3 day event. The winner this year was Metro subscriber
Mike Wiacek. Your editor started the event well, but
faltered late, and finished in third place. A great time
was had by all as we dodged raindrops to get all the
golfing in. Every year, Kelly creates the odds with a
(very little) humorous twist. Below is a copy of this
years' odds prior to the event. Congrats to all who
golfed, and we are looking forward to next year. If you

LOW
CARB - GLUTEN FREE PANCAKES submitted
by Amanda
½ tsp vanilla
½ milk (or almond milk)
1 TBS applesauce
¼ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
3 egg whites
3 TBS gluten
free flour of choice (we used Bob's Red Mill
gluten free flour mix)
1 TBS sweetener
(we used honey but stevia would be lower carb)
Mix with a mixer. Cook on a greased griddle for 2-3 minutes on the first side, flip and 1-2 minutes on the other side. If making waffles, add 1 TBS oil to batter.
Enjoy!!
This recipe is kid approved and celiac safe! If you are cooking these for a celiac, make sure you are using a griddle or waffle iron that has not had gluten on it and has been cleaned
thoroughly. Gluten can be washed off metal and glass but not off plastic or wood so the spoon and spatula should be gluten free as well.
We all
have seen articles in newspapers which we find humorous.
If you see any, please send them to me via email at mccartymetro@gmail.com,
and we will feature them in an upcoming issue of the
McCarty Metro.
