Authentic flavors hallmark of Del Toro's Tex Mex Grill
From the moment diners enter Del Toro's Tex Mex Grill in Huntley, their senses are filled with an authentic southwest, San Antonio-style experience. Mexican art, a south-of-the-border color scheme and memorabilia from the Lone Star State combine for a visual taste of the Tex-Mex experience. More important than the look, however, are the savory aromas and mouth-watering flavors that await Del Toro's customers. .
Iams and Eukanuba Dog and Cat Foods Earn Good Housekeeping Seal
DAYTON, Ohio, Jan. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- When it comes to assuring consumers about product quality, Iams and Eukanuba always have led the way, providing a money back guarantee to assure pet lovers that their dogs and cats are getting the best nutrition. Now, Good Housekeeping is recognizing Iams and Eukanuba with the Good Housekeeping Seal, a mark of excellence that stands for the Good Housekeeping Institute's rigorous evaluation process as well as an additional limited warranty against defects. "Being the only pet food manufacturer to earn the Good Housekeeping Seal is a source of pride for Iams and Eukanuba that we're happy to offer to our consumers," said P&G Pet Care general manager Dan Rajczak. "Dogs and cats are important members of our family households, so it's only right that we provide families with the ultimate assurance that we stand behind our pet food products." Founded in 1900, the Good Housekeeping Institute is dedicated to informing and educating consumers through product evaluations.
Guns and the higher-ed grading system
I bring you thoughts today from my big sister. She's a university professor who really doesn't like the idea of well-armed students in her classroom. So she's more than a bit unsettled by the South Dakota House approval, by a 63-3 vote Monday, of HB1261. The bill, discussed by Nancy First in a column below, is now headed for action in the state Senate. It would prevent higher-education institutions from regulating or restricting people on campus from carrying or possessing firearms, in accordance with state law. The schools could require students living in dorms to keep their weapons in a locked guns safe, when not in the students' possession. But that's about it for regs. My sister - who's a heck of a teacher, by the way - is pretty unhappy about 1261.
'My Favorite Dog': Dueling Rhymers
I grew up on the prairie just northeast of Post Falls, graduated from PFHS, taught science and math in both Post Falls and Coeur d'Alene, raised Kentucky bluegrass seed for 13 years on the prairie while I was teaching (8 years in double shifts between my stints at PF and CDA), served as Exec. Director of the Intermountain Grass Growwers Assn. from 1976 - 1990 through some of the contentious, early field burning years (and have some great stories about Duane H's influence in structuring field burning decisions). I left CDA in 1990 to pursue school administration and am now the superintendent of the Lynden School District in far northwestern Washington. I spent three years as principal/superintendent in Skykomish, WA where the Great Northern RR (now BNSF) had a refueling depot (until the mid-1970s) to refuel their locomotives and to switch to electric locomotives for hauling over Steven's Pass and through the 7 mile tunnel.
Outreach: Refuge International reflects best of East Texas
Having already made great inroads in health care for impoverished Guatemalans, Bell may not be as awed as the average East Texan that her organization will be able to use the Kiwanis grant to buy 1.25 million doses of the medicine to treat Guatemalan children for worms. Adios Lombrices (Goodbye Worms) became part of Refuge International's mission when volunteers noticed a prevalence of parasite infestation among children they were seeing. The Gilmer-based organization worked with a doctor from Yale University and determined that nearly 90 percent of the children in 10 villages studied had worms. The sheer numbers involved in the problem might seem overwhelming to some people, but Bell and the people who work with her through Refuge International don't seem to get overwhelmed.
