Move that way a little ... wait ... OK, looks good!

This scarecrow in front of Illinois Valley Surveying and Consultants Inc. in Hennepin seems to be directing a co-worker. A scarecrow decorat-ing contest is being held in conjunction with Hennepin’s annual Harvest Home Cele-bration on Sept. 20. Scare-crows will be judged as either business or household with a trophy for the business win-ner and $40 to the household winner. Business and organi-zation scarecrows should be representative of the owners’ interests. The festival, a tra-dition in Hennepin for more than 100 years, includes a parade, music and activi-ties for the entire family. This year’s celebration theme is “Out in the Field,” and floats will be judged for following the theme. Food booths and craft sales will also be open for guests attending one of the last festivals of the summer of 2014.

Dickens’ classic story to be presented in Streator

STREATOR — Commu-nity Players of Streator Inc. has announced Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” will be presented on Dec. 13. Performances will be at 2 and 7 p.m. at Engle Lane Theatre, 1012 Columbus Road, Streator. Ticket information will be available soon.

Casting auditions will be Sept. 27 at Engle Lane Theatre: from 1 to 2 p.m. for five boys (ages 8-14) and two girls (ages 10-14); and from 2 to 4 p.m. for 15 males and 12 females (ages 15-65). Participants will not need a prepared audition since scripts with selected scenes will be provided.

Under the direction of Scott Fulton, Streator native residing in West Chester, Ohio, and Brian Blasco, Streator native residing in Springfield, the directors have select-ed an adaptation by John Mortimer that was commissioned and first performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company at the Barbican Theatre, London, on Nov. 28, 1994. This local production will be presented in a readers’ theatre style: Performers will use scripts, scenery

will be from multi-media projection along with music and sound effects. Questions may be for-warded to Fulton at scot-talanfulton@hotmail .com.

“A Christmas Carol” is a novella Dickens began to write in September 1843 with the intention of drawing readers’ atten-tion to the plight of Eng-land’s poor. It was first published on Dec. 19, 1843, and was adapted for the stage almost imme-diately with productions opening in February 1844. Since that time has been adapted to film, stage, opera and other media. It is the story of Ebene-zer Scrooge, a bitter miser who has lost the mean-ing of Christmas, who through a journey into his past, present and future is given a second chance as he embraces love and generosity.

Founded in 1958, Com-munity Players of Streator Inc. offers an opportunity to the people of Streator and the surrounding area to participate in non-pro-fessional theatrical activi-ties while offering the general public an oppor-tunity for the furtherance of appreciation of the the-atre. For more informa-tion, visit www.englelane.org.

Indian fry bread popular at

Kelly’s Place

By Donna Barker dbarker@bcrnews.com

TISKILWA— The art of making authentic Indi-an fry bread is all in the technique and in the fam-ily recipe, which Eileen (Fisher) Burress is keep-ing within the family.

A Native American who grew up on the Men-oninee Indian Reserva-tion in Keshena, Wis., Burress and her Indian fry bread have been staples at her family-owned Kelly’s Place restaurant since it opened its doors 15 years ago at 222 W. Main St. in Tiskilwa.

The art of making Indi-an fry bread is something she definitely wants to pass down to the next generation, including her son, Kenny Fisher, and daughter, Kelly Fisher,

who operate Kelly’s Place.For her part, Kelly said

she and her brother know how to make fry bread, but they definitely defer to their mom’s expertise.

“There’s a technique to it, to get the right con-sistency so it fries up the way it should,” Kelly said. “It’s not so much you have the right recipe, but rather that you know how to throw it together.”

With both Kenny and Kelly busy working in other areas of the kitchen, it’s definitely easier for Mom to do the fry bread because she can do it quicker and without the struggle, Kelly said.

Kelly’s Place serves Indian fry bread two days a week. On Wednesdays, it is served as a side to meals. On Thursdays, it is made into larger pieces and used as the “shell” for

Indian tacos.Now 80 years old,

Burress works lunches at the restaurant Tuesday through Friday, preparing food, helping with clean-up duties, and of course, making her Indian fry bread.

After all these years, Burress no longer needs the written recipe in front of her as she prepares her bread. She knows the measurements needed as she pours the flour and oil into a large mixing bowl. She can tell by sight and texture if more flour is needed. It takes about 15 minutes to get the dough to the right consistency and kneaded.

Once prepared, Burress divides the double batch of dough into two loaves, which are either then fried or refrigerated until needed. If the dough is refrigerated, she will need to take it out of the refrig-erator and bring it back to room temperature before frying.

Eileen Burress brings family recipe to life two times a week

IVS photos/Donna BarkerEileen (Fisher) Burress whips up another batch of her famous Indian fry bread at Kelly’s Place in Tiskilwa. Burress, a Native American, uses the same recipe her mother used ... and no doubt the same recipe used by gen-erations before her. Kelly’s Place serves up the well-known and sought-after fry bread two days a week.

Hours Kelly’s Place is open Tuesday through Satur-day, from 11

a.m. to 2 p.m. and then again

from 5 to 9 p.m.

Before putting each slice of bread into the hot oil, Burress will poke a small hole in the center of the bread. Native Ameri-can tradition says the hole is there to let out the evil spirits.

Though also known for her homemade soups and spaghetti sauce served at Kelly’s Place, Burress is possibly best known and appreciated for her Indi-an fry bread.

Though Kelly’s Place has a strong following for its Indian fry bread, the restaurant/bar also has a following for its other spe-cialties. On Wednesday, the restaurant specializes in white fish and barbe-cue pork ribs. Thursday is regular taco and Indian

taco night. On Friday and Saturday, the restaurant’s specialties are fried chick-en, steak, pasta, pork chops and sandwiches.

Kelly’s Place is open Tuesday through Sat-urday, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and then again from 5 to 9 p.m.

Items of particular benefit were iPads that had been needed for various exer-cises and uses in the Alzheimer unit. The iPad turned out to have additional useful applications for the residents.

“Resident also use the iPads for Skyping with their family and friends at home,” says Susan Scully of the LaSalle Vet’s Home. “We have one resident whose wife is located in a senior living center across town. They use the iPads and Skyping to visit and talk a couple of times a day!
