Something to Remember By Honey Barnekoff (Submitted by Stevie Lapetina – 10/2008) It might be wise to carry a penny in
your pocket while working in your yard.
A couple of weeks ago, I was stung by a bee and a hornet while working
in the garden. My arm swelled up, so I
went to the doctor. The clinic gave me
cream and an antihistamine. The next
day the swelling was progressively worse, and had become infected. By this time I needed an antibiotic, so
back to the doctor I go. The doctor
told me that the next time I get stung, put a penny on the bite for 15
minutes. That night, my niece was stung by two
bees. I looked at the bite and it had
started to swell, so I taped a penny to her arm for fifteen minutes. The next morning there was no sign of the
bite. Soon, I was out gardening again. I was
stung twice again by a hornet on my hand. I thought, here I go again to the
doctor for an antibiotic treatment, and then remembered about the
pennies. I promptly got my money out,
and taped two pennies to my bites. The pennies immediately took the sting out
of the bites. The next morning I could only see the
spot where the hornet had stung me. No
redness, no swelling. My friend, in
the meantime, had also gotten stung.
Again the penny, and again we could not even tell where she had been
stung. The doctor said the copper in
the penny counteracts the bite. It definitely
works! |

A frog
the size of a bowling ball (10 pounds and 16 inches long), with heavy armor
and teeth, lived among dinosaurs millions of years ago -- intimidating enough
that scientists who unearthed its fossils dubbed the beast Beelzebufo, or Devil Toad. |

B. Minutes
- Marcia
No business meeting
held last month.
C. Programs – Mary Anne
Mary Anne provided a
list of speakers scheduled for the remainder of the year, covering almost every
month. Judy W. pointed out that we need to have a business meeting now and then.
Mary Anne said that the October meeting could be used for that purpose, since
the topic for that month was Business Agenda Wind-up. Peg then mentioned that
we had previously discussed scheduling some outings, and she wanted to set
something up, e.g., the Lego Land Center; Chicago Botanic Garden; etc. Mary
Anne replied that for September, she thought we could have a roundtable
discussion, so it might be possible to go on an outing prior to our discussion.
D. Treasury Report – Judy
Judy reported
that our current bank (MB Bank) is being taken over by Fifth-Third Bank and we
will need to renegotiate the terms of our account. She was told that the account would no longer
be considered a “non-profit” account. It
is now going to be called a “Business Standard” account. She will continue searching for a bank that
will meet our needs without charging fees.
E. Shed Maintenance
This responsibility falls on the
garden club membership. A shed cleanup
has been scheduled. Several members agreed that Tuesday, April 30th
at 9:30 a.m. would work for them.
F. Display Garden - Joanie
Joan suggested that we divide the
Heuchera (Coral Bells) this year. It was evident from past years that some of
the plants around the edges of the garden aren’t getting enough moisture, so
she plans to spread Organimix around these areas.
Right now the Fritillaria (Crown
Imperial) is blooming beautifully, and the Daffodils. A garden cleanup will be
announced at a later date.
G. Library – Ann Moran
Ann commented that there are a couple
framed documents in the library that perhaps are no longer needed. These were removed from the walls when the
Lake Lodge was painted, and remained in the library. They are “Honor Roll”
certificates from a couple past
Garden Walks. We agreed that since we no longer do garden walks (due to lack of
resident interest, and the work involved in putting these together) they could
be disposed of.
H. Volo Bog/Moraine Hills – Bob
Bob reported that the boardwalk in
the Volo Bog is being repaired, so one can no longer walk the entire circuit
until repairs are completed.
He informed us that he no longer
coordinates the volunteer prairie gardeners at the Bog, but still oversees the
Moraine Hills gardens, and would love to recruit some new volunteer gardeners. He has a very helpful and informative handbook
for the volunteers.
Check out the websites: FriendsofVoloBog.org and MoraineHillsStatePark.org.
I. New Business
Perennial Plant Sale
The date for our plant sale will be
May 22nd, from 12 noon to 2:30.
We will start setting up at 8:30
a.m. Be sure to label anything you are
bringing from your own garden with: name of plant, sun/shade requirements,
bloom time, approximate height and width, and color.
A signup sheet was passed around for
volunteers to dig up plants, pre-sale potting, day of
sale set-up, sales help, and cleanup. A
copy of this sheet will be included with the minutes. If you didn’t sign up, but would like to
volunteer, please email Marcia (mengland121@sbcglobal.net)
Discussion
Peg belongs to the Town and Country
Garden Club and she announced they will be sponsoring a garden walk in the
Libertyville/Mundelein area on June 29th.
In November, they will have a
luncheon at the White Deer Run Golf Club in Vernon Hills, where a photographer
will make a presentation.
