MILESTONES/B2 FAITH/B3 LIVES REMEMBERED/B5 PUBLIC RECORD/B5 THE WEEK AHEAD/B6 SNAPS/B9 BY KAY JOHNSON [email protected]I f you’re not into vegetables, it may come as a surprise that squash and pumpkins are more than seasonal ornamentals. These vine-ripened crops, which are now flooding into the Hutchinson Farmers Market and local grocery stores, pack a powerful nutritional punch. At Saturday’s Farmers Market, Heidi Sickmann of Hutchinson was selling pumpkins, ornamental gourds, a variety of squash including butternut, carnival and acorn as well apples and other seasonal produce. “It’s our first year,” she said. “It’s been fun. We bought an orchard in March.” Sickmann had a basket of butternut squash for sale. The variety was well represented throughout the market. It’s not surprising considering it’s the most common among winter squash fruits. It’s also low in calories, contains no saturated fats or cholesterol and is rich in fiber and vitamins. Its flesh can be eaten in a variety of ways including baked, roasted, microwaved, pureed, boiled or sauted. How to peel a butternut squash? Trim the ends and then cut the squash in half at the base of the neck. Remove the thin skin with a vegetable peeler, cut it into sections and remove the seeds. Not all squash need to be peeled or peel so easily. The ribbed shape of an acorn squash makes it difficult to peel. It’s a good thing the skin is edible. If you prefer to peel it, it should be heated in the microwave for two minutes and then cooled for a few minutes. Use a sturdy knife to cut through the stem end rather than through its diameter. What to look for when buying squash? You want blemish-free skin and it should feel heavy for its size. How to store it? Butternut squash will keep for up to three months in a cool, dry place with plenty of ventilation. Squash that has been cut will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week. While the flesh is the main attraction, “don’t forget about the seeds,” said Beth Nere, a registered and licensed dietician, who works as an inpatient clinical dietitian at Hutchinson Area Health Care. “There’s nutritional value in the seeds.” she said. Nere’s colleague, Karen Gensmer, a registered and licensed dietician, whose area of service is outpatient cardiab rehab nutrition education and food service, recommended recruiting children to help with cleaning the seeds. “It can be a family activity,” she said.

If you’re not into vegetables, it may come as a surprise that squash and pumpkins are more than seasonal ornamentals.
These vine-ripened crops, which are now flooding into the Hutchinson Farmers Market and local grocery stores, pack a powerful nutritional punch.

Its flesh can be eaten in a variety of ways including baked, roasted, microwaved, pureed, boiled or sauted.
How to peel a butternut squash? Trim the ends and then cut the squash in half at the base of the neck. Remove the thin skin with a vegetable peeler, cut it into sections and remove the seeds.
Not all squash need to be peeled or peel so easily. The ribbed shape of an acorn squash makes it difficult to peel. It’s a good thing the skin is edible. If you prefer to peel it, it should be heated in the microwave

OTHER WAY
www.hutchinsonleader.com | Hutchinson Leader October 7, 2012 | B3
I purchase a pre-mixed, ready-to-drink iced tea. To me it has a bitter aftertaste. So I mixed it with orange juice and it tastes fine.
I walk into a car dealership and see a car I like. I see the price I don’t like, so I begin to negotiate.
I walk through the depart-ment store and for the sheer shock value, I look at a price tag for a cute child’s outfit. I can’t believe it. I quickly let go of the tag and walk briskly by saying under my breath, “I can’t believe it.”
In the first scenario, I watered down the iced tea to make it palatable to me. In the second scenario, I negoti-ated a better deal. And in the
third scenario, I walked away in disbelief.
I dare say we do those same three things with the word of God, especially when we hear what Jesus tells us what must do to be his disciples.
For example, in Mark 8:34-
35, “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and that of the gospel will save it.”
When we first think about that we say to ourselves, “Je-sus really didn’t mean that. He was only using an image of a cross to get his point across. He really doesn’t want me to suffer. He already did that for me and I’m grateful. Jesus wants me to endure the noisy neighbor, put up with you biting your nails and cleaning up after the chil-dren. That certainly is cross enough for this day and age.”
Or when we think about this, we begin to negotiate. “O.K., so Jesus wants me to carry my cross. Well, I’m not giving up my trip to Barbados but I will go hand out food one time at the Common Cup truck. And, of course, I can buy a new outfit after all the clothes I took to Goodwill. I’ll gladly pay for some teenager to go on a mission trip (it will do them good) but I’m not going. Jesus certainly doesn’t want me to waste my vacation days on something like that.”
What happens in negotia-tion is, Jesus says, “I want this from you” and we say, “Sorry. I’ll only give you as much as I want as long as it’s not too inconvenient for me.”
And sometimes when Je-sus asks us to carry our cross we just say, “No thanks.” We might give a reason: “I’m too busy.” “That’s not my thing.” “Jesus you ask too much.” “Jesus, have you noticed this is the 21st century and carry-ing crosses is old-fashioned?”
Well, whatever we tell Je-sus, the message is the same. “Whoever wishes to come af-ter me must deny himself, take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and that of the gospel will save it.”

MEIDLSERMONETTE
BY THE REV. RICHARD MARK
Special to the Leader
His friends say that the Rev. William Joseph Baldwin has a “church halo” in one hand and a “radio microphone” in the other. He is a man of many talents and has been bi-vocational all his life.
Baldwin serves as pastor of St. Paul’s United Church of Christ in Plato, and at the Prairie Community Church in Lester Prairie. He is also a radio announcer at KDUZ, 1260-AM Radio, in Hutchinson, where he hosts “Everyday Inspiration.” The 30-minute program features music, spirit and inspiration
at 11:30 a.m. Sundays.Baldwin grew up in White
Bear Lake, where he got interested in radio and TV classes during his senior year in high school. He attended Northwestern College in Roseville, where he earned an associate degree in radio broadcasting in 1981. During college, he helped start the student radio station, WVOE, which is the “Voice of the Eagles.”
While attending the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Baldwin landed his first big radio job — as a radio announcer at WMIN. He also did some sales work for the radio station.
After earning a bachelor’s degree in speech communications in 1983, Baldwin moved to Mason City, Iowa, to become the assistant station manager and program director at KCMR Radio. He also served as the station’s volunteer
coordinator.Two things happened
while Baldwin was in Mason City. First, he married his wife, Cathy, who is a public school teacher. Two children are part of the Baldwin family: Nick has a 1985 birth date and Abbie was born in 1991.
Second, he became active in church life and felt a call to church ministry. Baldwin started taking seminary classes at United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities, New Brighton. He completed his theological studies and graduated with a master of divinity degree in June, 1992.
Baldwin was ordained into the Christian ministry on Aug. 2, 1992, at Mason City’s First Congregational UCC, the childhood church home of the famous Meredith Willson.
After ordination, Baldwin was called to serve two United Church of Christ congregations in
Wisconsin — at Stratford and Marshfield. He was the pastor of both UCC churches for four years.
The family moved to St. Louis Park, where Rev. Baldwin became the youth and family minister, Edina Morningside United Church of Christ in Edina.
Then in 1998, he served as the interim minister at First Congregational UCC in Glencoe. This was his introduction to McLeod County.
In September of 2001, Baldwin was called as the pastor and teacher of Prairie Community UCC in Lester Prairie. St. Paul’s UCC, Plato, was added to his ministry in January 2008. Since that time, he has served as the minister of both congregations.
During 2010, Baldwin felt the pull of radio life again. When the community found out that he was a radio man,
KDUZ Radio, 1260-AM, Hutchinson, asked him to host a Sunday radio program. “Everyday Inspiration” went on the air at 11:30 a.m. Sunday morning, June 6, 2010. The informative radio show appeals to people of different Christian expressions. Music is the backbone of the half-hour program along with some folksy observations, spiritual inspiration, encouraging thoughts and casual musings.
Whether he is in the church pulpit or behind the radio microphone, Baldwin loves to work with local people and offers some everyday inspiration and religious faith.
Baldwin celebrated the 20th anniversary of his ordination on Sept. 30.

SUBMITTED PHOTOS
The Rev. Bill Baldwin is the pastor of St. Paul’s United Church of Christ in Plato, and Prairie Community Church in Lester Prairie. He celebrated the 20th anniversary of his ordination last month. He combined his fi rst vocation of radio broadcasting with his ministry calling to create the weekly program, “Everyday Inspiration,” on KDUZ Radio. It airs at 11:30 a.m. Sundays.
FAITH BRIEFS
Speaker to share orphan train story
From 1854 to 1929 an esti-mated 250,000 children rode the orphan trains to new lives. They came from overpopulated areas on the East Coast. Some of these children were orphans while others were abandoned. Some of the children were put on trains by their parents hoping they would have better lives.
It’s this story that speaker Ann Zemke will share during the Christ the King Women’s brunch from 9 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 13, at Christ the King Lutheran Church, 1040 South Grade Road, Hutchinson.
Zemke gives her presentation using a special quilt she made in memory of her grandmother, Marjorie Peterson, an orphan train rider. Zemke’s book, “They Named Me Marjorie,” about her grandmother’s life journey, was published in 2006. Zemke will read excerpts from the book while referencing the blocks of the commemorative quilt.
Brunch wil l be served. There’s no charge to attend and the public is welcome. Free-will donations are welcome.
Reservations are recom-mended. The deadline to reg-ister is Wednesday, Oct. 10. To reserve your spot, call the church office at 320-587-2776.
Churches host amendment program
Vineyard United Methodist, River of Hope ELCA Lutheran Church and the Minnesota Council of Churches invite the community to attend a Respect-ful Conversation on the Mar-riage Amendment.
It will take place from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 13, at Vineyard Methodist, 1395 South Grade Road S.W., Hutchinson.
The Respectful Conversa-tions Project is a program of the Minnesota Council of Churches with support from the Bush Foundation designed to strengthen civic life of Min-nesota. Congregations through-out Minnesota are hosting con-versations that explore issues through the lens of deeply held convictions while maintaining, even enhancing, relationships among those who disagree.
There’s no charge to attend, but registration is required by calling the church office at 320-587-2200, or the Minnesota Coun-cil of Churches at 612-230-3344.

This week, 15 4-H clubs in McLeod County — which includes 406 members and nearly 200 adult and junior league leaders — will celebrate National 4-H Week. While 4-H and National 4-H Week may be traditional, it has become a tradition in transition, according to Extension Agent Brenda Shafer. Since its inception at the turn of the century, 4-H has shifted its direction at one level but retained an even course in its overall purpose, Shafer said. The overall direction of the organization is to assist youth in developing life skills, while the organization continues to concentrate on assisting young people develop social responsibility, learn to learn, use their knowledge and develop a sense of self.
