Cook’s Tips
• Pumpkin is a good source of betacarotene, a nutrient that
may help reduce the risk of developing certain types of cancer,
and offers possible protection against heart disease.
• TOPPINGS: Use nonfat ice cream, or frozen yogurt and
fat-free whipped topping for a lighter version.
The best way to soften ice cream is to let it sit out at room
temperature for about 15 minutes or in the refrigerator for 30
minutes. Note that low-fat ice creams and frozen yogurts melt
faster than full-fat varieties. Avoid repeatedly softening and re
freezing ice cream as it gets icy.
• If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, for each teaspoon of
pumpkin pie space, you can substitute a combination of:
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Strickler Receives Prestigious Award
LEESPORT (Berks Co.) Fay
B. Strickler, Berks County family
and consumer sciences educator
for Penn State Cooperative Ex
tension, was recently recognized
as the recipient of the Distin
guished Service Award by Alpha
Omicron Chapter of Epsilon
Sigma Phi (ESP), the national or
ganization for extension profes
sionals.
Strickler, a 30 year veteran of
cooperative extension, was recog
nized for her programming in
diet, nutrition and health, and
food safety education. Specific
examples of successful accom
plishments for programming in
food safety certification for indi
viduals who work in the food
service industry, nutrition educa
tion programs for the public,
leadership education and out
reach to diverse audiences were
cited during the presentation of
the award.
Strickler was also recognized
for excellence in programming
through cooperation and collabo
ration with a variety of local and
state organizations and agencies.
In addition to developing and
presenting educational programs,
Stickler makes extensive use of
media to distribute foods and nu
trition information to the public.
The STREAM MAP OF
PENNSYLVANIA was completed in
1965 after a thirty-year effort by
Howard Higbee, a former Penn
State Professor.
• The map is known as the
LOST STREAM MAP to some
anglers.
Professor Higbee succeeded
in creating a map of the highest
detail possible, a map that shows
every stream and lake He
painstakingly plotted by hand the
location of 45,000 miles of
streams onto a 3 by 5 toot map
The map sold extremely well
-until it was lost several years later
Incredibly, the printer entrusted
with the original drawing and
printing plates declared
bankruptcy, then carelessly hauled
Higbee’s 30 years of work to a
landfill
The few remaining dog-eared
copies became a prized
fisherman’s possession. Professor
Higbee was offered $4OO for one
of his last maps And state
agencies were forced to keep their
copies under lock and key
Experts told Professor Higbee
that reprints were impossible,
because the maps were printed in
non-photographic blue.
Then, in 1991, at the age of
91, Howard Higbee's dream came
true Computers made it possible
to reprint the map Howard said, “I
never thought I’d live to see this
day"
Fay B. Strickler, who

RAVE REVIEWS
‘lt is amazingly detailed and
names some creeks in the
Mohawk Valley that can’t
even be found on
topographic maps ”
—John Pitarres,
OBSERVER-DISPATCH,
Utica
“If you're looking for the most
definitive maps ever created
depicting every single creek,
river, stream, pond and
lake then ‘Professor
Higbee’s Stream Maps' are
without question the finest"
—Howard Brant,
THE NEWARK STAR-LEDGER
“It is in showing where to find
out-of-the-way trout streams
that makes the map such a
treasure to the fisherman."
