LEFT: William Newbold, 7, said he would cook a Thanksgiving turkey for about five minutes and, if it didnt look right, hed cook
it for two more minutes and then youre done. William was among youngsters at Great Lake Montessori School in St. Joseph
who shared their ideas about how to make dinner for the holiday. MIDDLE: Six-year-old Caroline Nyce, a student at Great Lakes
Montessori School in St. Joseph, said she would cook her turkey for three or four hours. But the tomatoes shed serve with
it, she said, would need to cook for 10 hours. Caroline said she would put on some Thanksgiving music at her holiday dinner.
RIGHT: Five-year-old Liam Gooden would have to get up pretty early to have his turkey done by lunch time. After thinking long
and hard about it, he said he would cook it at 4 degrees for 8 hours. With it, hed serve cucumbers and tomatoes.

Turkey and pie.

And pie, and pie.
Youngsters share ideas for Thanksgiving dinner

ST. JOSEPH If youre

hosting Thanksgiving dinner,
youd better get cracking if youre
going to use Jack Newbolds
cooking tips.
Jack, 5, said he would cook his
turkey for 8 hours at 3 degrees.
Talk about slow cooking.
If youre really running late, try
William Newbolds suggestion to
cook the turkey for, maximum,
seven minutes.
I would cook it for about five
minutes, and if it doesnt look
right, cook it for two more
minutes, then youre done.
But is the turkey done?
The Newbolds were two of
several boys and girls at Great
Lakes Montessori School in St.
Joseph who shared me what they
would serve and how they would
cook a Thanksgiving meal.
School director Marcie
OConnell allowed the children to
share their dinner plans and
recipes one-by-one.
Jack, besides his turkey, suggested, Id have it with peanuts, a
peanut butter sandwich and, oh,
one more thing some potatoes. I
think well just have french fries
because they have the potatoes
inside them. I think well get two
big ones and we can make them
into mashed potatoes for the
adults.
But I want fries.
William, 7, provided more
detailed instructions and, first
things first.
We would first make a pumpkin pie. Then we would make the
turkey, with stuffing in it. The
stuffing is rice and

potatoes and
broccoli mixed
together. Then
around the turkey,
you put desserts
around it. Then you
could put some
berries around it,
William said.

Like Jack, Liam
Gooden, 5, said he
would cook his turkey for 8 hours,
but hes going to crank the oven up
to 4 degrees. He will serve the
turkey with cucumbers and
tomatoes.
Emmet Dow, 6, isnt sure how to
cook a turkey because my mom
never taught me. But, I would
cook it probably for an hour, I
guess.
For dessert grasshopper pie, his
favorite food.
I know how to do the crust, its
green. Then theres chocolate in the
middle, and everything else is
green. But theres no grasshoppers
in it.
Good to know.
Caroline Nyce, 6, is all about
atmosphere.
I would cook the turkey, I
think, maybe three or four hours,
and have it with tomatoes. Those
should cook for 10 hours, maybe. I
would turn Thanksgiving music
on.
Liam Schultz, 4, is using a rather
scientific method.
Youd just make all the stuff.
And you just make a turkey and
put some recipes in it that show you
how to make turkey, Liam said.
You have tomatoes and salad
and peppermint,

my favorite. I tried peppermint on

pizza and my dad tried to eat one.
It was delicious, I wanted 100.
Renata Guadarrama Neira, 4, is
rather focused on dessert.
My mom knows how to make
Thanksgiving cupcakes, she said.
You cook turkey a lot of time, and
have it with a cupcake.
Lexi Schultz, 4, will have a
Thanksgiving dinner of turkey,
apple pie, cherry pie and banana
pie.
I think Ill go there.
Then Ill stop by Shreya Sanchetis house. Shreya, 5, would make a
dinner of cupcakes, banana pie,
cherry pie and apple pie.
No mention of turkey.
Diya Thooran, 5, plans to have
turkey with cake. Chocolate cake.
Carl Gano, 4, said he doesnt
know how to make a turkey. But I
think you cook it for 100 minutes.
With it, hed have Hawaiian rolls
(I think you add a little bit of
butter), cupcakes, cake and
chocolate pudding. That would be
hard to make, he noted.
Kasen Steele, 5, has Step 1 of a
Thanksgiving dinner down pat:
First, I know we have to carve a
pumpkin for pumpkin pie.
For her Thanksgiving dinner,
Abigail Pullins, 5, would put
together Turkey and soup,
noodles, carrots, mushroom and
beans, and cook it for a lot of
minutes.
Would Abigail stuff her turkey?
No thanks.

Tradition is to the holiday

season what socks are to
feet.
What the hot dog is to the
bun.
What the squirrel is to the
nut.
You get the drift.
Southwest Michigan enjoys the traditions enjoyed
just about anywhere else in
America and a few distinctly our own. Berrien
Springs has Rekindle Your
Christmas Spirit events, St.
Joseph has a Luminary Festival, Dowagiac has a candlelight parade to name a
few. Benton Harbor last
week kicked off a lively,
well-attended tree lighting
event, which officials expect
to make an annual tradition.
Another big sign of the
season is the annual Good
Fellow Fund drive, highlighted by the Dec. 5 Newsie
sale.
On that day, Exchange
and Lions clubs members
will be as omnipresent on
street corners as municipal
Christmas
decorations.
They will sell special Herald-Palladium Newsie editions for whatever price
buyers consciences compel.
The money helps families
in need during what should
be a time of comfort and
joy.
Last year was a record
year for Good Fellows as we
raised
nearly
$38,000
through the incredible generosity of so many, HP
Publisher David Holgate
said. Because of this incredible show of support,
we are able to assist so many
people this holiday season.
The tally proved a record
for the drive, now in its 84th
year. This years official goal
is $35,000, but records are
meant to be broken.
The
Herald-Palladium
covers administrative costs,
which means every dollar

Newsie purchases and donations helps struggling

families in our community.
The money is used to buy
Meijer gift cards, which are
distributed to families and
single adults identified by
the Michigan Department
of Human Services.
Members of the Lakeshore, St. Joseph Township
and St. Joseph Lions clubs
take to the streets and selected storefronts for the
Newsie sale.
The Exchange Club will
sell Newsies under its new
name, Exchange Club of
Southwest Michigan. It had
been the Exchange Club of
Benton Harbor/St. Joseph.
The Exchange Club was
at the Newsies birth in 1930.
Benton Harbor Mayor
George Strefling, a former
state Exchange Club president, helped create the drive
with Stanley Banyon, publisher of Herald-Palladium
ancestor The NewsPalladium.
The Good Fellow Fund
was born in 1920 as the
Empty Stocking Club, an
effort to help the poor at
Christmas. The fund accepted cash donations, but
it was the Newsie sales that
made things take off.
Lions clubs joined the effort in the 1950s.

HP delivery changes
To Our Subscribers:
As you know, for the past six to eight weeks we have had
issues that have caused the delivery of your Sunday HeraldPalladium to be late. These issues were no fault of your carrier; all were a result of our production process due to the
size of the product.
We apologize to you as well as to our carriers for any
inconvenience caused and have developed a solution we
feel will ensure that the delivery time of your paper on Sunday will improve. This change is also being made for todays
Thanksgiving Day edition.
Effective immediately, your Sunday paper will be delivered
to you in two parts, the Comics section with advertising
inserts and the main Sunday Herald-Palladium. These sections will be delivered together, but the comics will no longer
be inserted into the Sunday paper.
Today, the Thanksgiving Day edition also is in two parts.
The main section includes a package of advertising inserts
that will be in a section titled Find Your People At Southwestern Michigan College and another titled Holiday Gift
Guide. A third package of inserts is in a section titled Hear
Michigan Inc. If you have all of these sections with inserts
you know that your paper is complete.
We thank you for your patience and understanding. These
changes are being made to benefit you, our readers, and to
improve our service.
