Half apig, one lamb,18 chick-ens and 30 dozen eggs.

That’s what members of ameat share program at TurnerFarm can earn by working 60hours at the non-profit organicenterprise in Indian Hill thatuses horses to plow fields.

Members of a similar pro-gram for vegetables can takehome$1,000-worthofproduce—and some flowers – by working44hourson the farmat7400Giv-en Road and paying $500.

Mary Joseph of Madeira,youth educator at Turner Farm,said farmrepresentativeswouldlove to attract participants fromas far away as Northern Ken-tucky.

If anyone can’t afford thevegetable program’s $500 fee,they can work an additional 63hours instead.

Megan Gambrill of Milford,who is crop and harvest man-ager at Turner Farm, said somemembers of the so-called “com-munity- supported agriculture”programs want to lessen theirgrocery bills in tough economictimes.

Others want to get theirhands — and their children’shands – dirty, she said.

“It’s a way for people to feelmore connected to the food thatwe’re growing and to under-stand the work that goes intogrowing the food that we eat,”Gambrill said.

A number of otheritems are also part of thecapital plan for 2014-2015.The total estimated cost isaround $4 million.

However, this amountcould potentially changebased on whether theschool board chooses torevise the list of projectsat its February meeting.

New board memberEddie Hooker said theproposed items incorpo-rate “academics, arts andathletics.”

“I think (the projects)are all very appropriateand based on the long-term capital plan,” hesaid.

Board Vice PresidentErik Lutz said improve-ments to the auditoriumare needed from a safetystandpoint.

St Gertrude School alreadyhas its sights set on next year asevidenced by its recent Fall“Open House.”

At that event, a largenumberof parents, seeking openings invarious grades, braved the ele-ments to learn all about the Do-minican-led institution which isnearing its 80th year on MiamiAve.

The event featured two ses-sions--one at lunch hour fromandanevening session, and sawprospective parents and fam-ilies receive student council-ledtours, hands-on activities in thekindergarten and music roomsand live science demonstra-tions in their state-of-the-artscience lab.

Hosted by the school’s Par-ent-Teacher Organization, theopen house is the first of twosucheventson theschool’s cam-pus during the academic year.

The next one will be 12:30-2:30 p.m., Jan. 26, as part ofCatholic Schools Week. Guestswere treated to displays bymany of the school’s extracur-

ricular activities, including thetheater group, “The SGS Play-ers,” their “Power of the Pen”team, and “Booster Associa-tion.”

Sister Mary Aquinas, O.P.,the school’s principal, waspleasedwith the turnout at bothsessions saying, “I was very en-couraged with the attendance

andhappy to see somanyyoungfamilies tour our school, notonly for the Kindergarten pro-gram,butalso theuppergrades.The feedback I received aboutthe student guides and faculty’senthusiasm was very gratify-

ing. All our new faculty, espe-cially those in juniorhighwherewe have had significant turn-over, have meshed nicely withour more tenured teachers tocreate a very faith-filled andchallenging academic atmos-

phere.”Guests were provided com-

plimentary “spirit” items alongwith key information and dates,namely the one for the school’s52nd rendition of the “ChristmasPageant.”

Indian Hill Primary Schoolstudents are creating readersthrough goodwill.

The students are collectingnew and gently used books forReachOut andRead, a nationalnonprofit organization that do-nates books to pediatric of-fices, which in turn give thebooks to the families theyserve.

A goal of the organization isto promote early literacy bysupplying books to children

from newborn to age 5.Second-grade teacher Pat

Bartholomew organized theinitiative at theprimary schoollast year.

Shesaidshewas inspiredbya news report on Reach Outand Read. Through researchonline she found a pediatricsoffice in Kenwood that wouldbe a recipient of the books.

She said this particular ser-vice project is not only a goodfit for the primary school stu-dents, but it’s also beneficialfor the families who receivethe books.

“The earlier you readwith achild the better,” she said.

Last year 500 books werecollected by Indian Hill Pri-mary School students forReach Out and Read.

“It makes me feel goo that Iwas donating,” said second-grader Michelle Lindberg,who donated a book called“Princess From Another Plan-et.”

Classmate Victoria Islasagreed. “I hope they are excit-ed,” she said, referring to thechildren who will receive thebooks.

COMMUNITY PRESS

INDIAN HILL — No need toapologize if you don’t see Syd-neyMenifee coming.

TheCincinnatiCountryDaysenior doesn’t really want youto, especially if you play for anopposing basketball team.

“Defense,” Menifee said.“That’s my favorite part of thegame. I like to disrupt things.”

She does, too, leading theMiami Valley Conference at5.5 steals per game, a theft anda half better than her nearestcompetition. She also leads theIndians in scoring at (14.4points per game) and assists(3.8) and is second on the teamin rebounds (5.8)

This despite being about 5-foot-2.

“She’s been a four-yearplayerandareal leaderforus,”said CCD head coach JohnSnell. “I know it wears on her alot, but we lean on her for a lotof things. She always managesto stay up and positive andwork hard.”

“Thisyear she’s really comealongwithhersteals.Hernum-bers are way up last year andthis year from her freshmanandsophomoreyears.Thebestthing is she anticipates andshe’s very quick. She gets tothe ball extremely well.”

Menifee began playing bas-ketball in thirdgradeat theFri-ars Club. She said her favoritehoopmemory was winning thesectional title last year.

Snell offered another possi-bility – a game-winning shotagainst arch-rival SummitCountry Day her sophomoreyear - while she thought of ananswer. Menifee rememberedthat one, too.

“I went down low and go theball and put it up,” she said. “Itspun around and around on therim and finally went in. I gotfouled and made the freethrow,andthatgaveus thewin.But winning sectionals wasbetter, I think.”

“That says a lot about herright there,” Snell said. “Thefirst thing I thought ofwas thatgame-winning shot, but shethought about her team first.That’s who she is.”

Sydney is also one of threeathletic Menifee triplets fromColerain Township. She and

sister Shelley are teammatesin cross country, trackandbas-ketball, while brother J.R.played football and basketballfor the Indians.

(J.R. suffered a kidney inju-ry in CCD’s opening-roundfootball playoff loss to Summitin November. He’s been prac-ticing with the boys basketballteamandhopes tobecleared toplay in timefor the lastweekofthe regular season and thepostseason.)

“It’s good,” Sydney said ofplayingwith Shelley. “It’s frus-trating sometimes, too. But weknow each other so well, weknow what we’re going to do.We try to keep each othercalm.”

Sydney isn’t surewhere shewill attend school next year –she’s applied to the Universityof Kentucky, the University ofCincinnati, Ohio University,ToledoandOhioNorthern–butknowsshewants to studyphar-macy when she gets there.

Until then, a return to thedistrict tournament remains agoal.

“With the team we have,we’re getting there,” Menifeesaid. “We have a lot of fresh-men, some really young play-ers, but we’re getting there. Iwant to win sectionals againand win the district this time,too.”

INDIANHILL—Heading intothe Southwest Classic meet atSt. Xavier Jan.18-19, the IndianHill High School boys and girlsswim teams looked poised tocome together for a waterysprint toward the postseason.

Coached by former Xavierand Western Brown swimmerEmily Hardy, Holly Rice anddiving expert Lori Rapp, theBraves have several competi-torswhocouldmakestate runs.

The Southwest Classicsometimes serves as a pream-ble for the busy portion of theseason.

“It’s a fun meet,” Hardysaid. “It’s actually a good meetfor some of our club swimmersto swim different events thatmaybe some college coachesare looking for. It’s also an op-portunity for some of our non-club swimmers to get experi-ence.”

The best thing Indian Hillhas to offer among schoolstheir size is their depth.

“We have five of seven girlsreturning from last year andone of our boyqualifiers back,”Hardy said. “I have two reallygood sophomores in ElizabethDrerup and Devin Landstra.They practice with their clubteam.”

Actually,clubswimmersare

thenormrather thantheexcep-tion at competitive swimschools like Indian Hill. Hardyestimates at least half of herswimmers practice with clubteams.

“It kind of makes it difficultfrom a coaching standpoint,”Hardysaid. “Swimming is sucha different sport because a lotof times kids don’t do their bestuntil the end of the season.When I only see them a coupleof meets, it’s hard to see theprogress.”

It also makes it tougher toput together relays without thewitnessing a swimmer’s pro-gress in practice visually.

“We communicate prettywell,” Hardy added. “I can con-tactclubcoaches if Ineedtogetinformation.”

The male Braves returnsome wallop in the water withtheir 200 medley relay team.

“We have all four boys that

went to State last year andbroke our school record,” Har-dy said.

Junior JackDowling and hissenior brother, Will, are on themedley team along with juniorSam Vester and senior NoahBrackenbury. Senior DrewRice is also back and is part ofthe group that practices withIndian Hill at Mariemont HighSchool during the week.

In addition to the aforemen-tioned sophomoresDrerup andLandstra, seniors Sarah Vesterand Delaney Smith and juniorGrace Stimson are among thetop Lady Braves.

Smith was part of IndianHill’s record-setting 200 med-ley relay and 400 free relay;Drerup was on the 200 free re-lay; and Landstra was with the200and400freequartet. JuniorStimson has also shown im-provement.

“Last year shewas just com-ing off a bad accident,” Hardysaid. “From what I see of her,she’s back at full strength. I’mexcited about the year she’s gotcoming up.”

Along with the swimmers,IndianHill features celebrateddivers Katherine Arnold, KaraKorengel and Cassie Wegryn,along with Danielle Faulkner.

Not far off for the Bravesare the CHL Championships atMariemont on Feb. 1.

A publication of

A new year brings newhope that a light bulb (albeit aCFL, under new regulations)will go off over the heads ofour elected officials and theywill simply do the right thing.

What do I mean by “rightthing”? Tackle the tough issuesin a meaningful way, usingcompromise and good sense tothe greater good. Allowme toillustrate with two contro-versial issues: immigrationand gun control.

Currently there is a com-promise deal on the table thattheoretically most peopleagree on. Part of it has alreadybeen voted upon, but someobstructionists baulk at anypath to citizenship for illegalimmigrants already here.They say, among other things,that it would be unfair for

those who are waiting on line,legally.

As a legalimmigrantmyself, let mesay that thesystem is sobroken thatthe argumentdoes not holdwater. Thissummer (June2013) it wasrevealed thatthe FederalAuthoritieswere just get-

ting around to processingGreen Card requests fromadult children of U.S. citizens,filed in August of 1993! (Imag-ine the wait if you had no fam-ily or employer here).

Look, I agree that if we

were in the days of Ellis Is-land, where you got off a ship,your case would be judged onthe spot, and you were eitherin or out, fine. Illegal immi-grants could be accused ofjumping the line. The currentimmigration system, coupledwith our own demand for low-cost labor, has made circum-venting the law an attractiveoption for immigrants, em-ployers and the general econo-my of the nation alike. In otherwords, the current immigra-tion system works against ournational interest.

Besides which, the indepen-dent Congressional BudgetOffice estimates that legaliz-ing those immigrants alreadyhere would cut the deficit by$197 billion in the first 10 yearsand $700 billion in the second

10 years. And that is just twoof the positive findings. Mr.Boehner, do the right thing!

As for gun control, let mesay this: One guy and a failedattempt with a shoe bomb, andwe are all taking off our shoesat the airport. Columbine andnearly 40 school shootingssince then and…nothing. Sen-sible people realize that theConstitution will not bechanged to prohibit guns.However, only fools believethat the current system issatisfactory.

For what it is worth, here ismy perspective: You need alicense to drive a car. Youmust pass a test to drive aboat. Both were designed fortravel or leisure, but in un-skilled hands, can be danger-ous, even lethal. Then you

have guns. They are designedto be lethal. You don’t have tobe trained or certified to buyor use one. Does that make anysense? What sensible personwould deny that obtaining alicense that shows you areproficient, able and competentto use lethal weapons, is a goodidea?

Instead of passing sensiblelegislation like this, Gov. Kas-ich thinks it is a better idea tolet people carry guns in bars.Mr. Boehner, do the rightthing!

For our representatives, it’stime to stop listening to lobby-ists and start listening to thatlittle voice in your heart – it’scalled your conscience.

Bruce Healey is a resident of IndianHill.

Legislators must listen to heart

BruceHealeyCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Last week’s questionDo you think school officials

made the right decision recentlyby canceling classes because ofcold temperature? Why or whynot?

“Yes, I work in a school dis-trict that has cut busing so stu-dents would have to walk twomiles to school. Those same stu-dents are often underdressedwithout proper coats, hats, orgloves. Twodayswithout schoolfor safety is not that awful.”

K.S.

“I have every confidence inCPS to make the right call.There are so many movingparts in that decision it iswrongto second guess. I know I didn’twant to be out in that danger-ously cold weather.”

Terry Garvin

“Yes. Some children ride theschoolbusorwalk toschool, anditwas so cold thatwithin15min-utes there was a chance forfrostbite. Not worth risking in-jury to have our little ones out-side when it is that cold.

“Also, older children oftenareunderdressedfor theweath-er, and somemay not even haveappropriate coats, hats orgloves. I was happy to see thateven the universities kept thestudents inside on those days.”

D.P.

“As a school teacher, I hatehaving snow days because itreally messes up what I have

planned to teach any givenweek.

“However, with our overlypaternalistic society in whichkids are rarely never made todeal with any personal chal-lenges not on the athletic field,it seemed pretty ridiculous tocancel school because of the po-lar vortex drivingwind chill be-low zero for two days.

“I know there are studentswho have towait outside for thebus, walk to school, or walkacross big campuses – and thismay lead to frostbite; andschools also had problems withburst pipes andboilers not com-ing on to heat buildings.

“It ends up a judgment call;in that case, the school authori-tieserron thesideofcautionforstudents’ perceived safety; andthey always will, so they don’tget sued.”

TRog

“I don't think kids today areas tough as kids in the old daysso I see why they closed theschools.

“Personally I have a grand-daughter in the third grade andI am glad she wasn't out in thethis weather. If they miss toomany days these days will beadded to the endof theyear so itis really no big deal.”

Dave D.

“Yes, this was the right deci-sion. Most parents, myself in-cluded, longed to see the end ofChristmas break as the kidswere starting to bounce off thewalls at home. However, wewere approaching record lows.

“If frostbite orworsewere tooccur as kids waited for busesschool administrators wouldhave had a heavy burden toshoulder. Make the days upwhen the weather is better -kids first!!”

T.B.

“This time I agree with whatthey did for the sake of the kids.I know therewill be a lot of peo-ple thatwill say theyhadtowalkto school in zero degree or lesstemps., but even back in the’50s, ’60s, and ’70s there wereschools cancelations.

“I'm sure that when the win-ters of1977and1978hit their lit-tle buttswerewarmathomebe-cause everything closed down.Now don't lie, even the express-ways were shut down.

“Oh yes, more than 10,000people claimed that theywalked on the Ohio River andmore than 100,000 claims thattheyattendedthegreat 'FreezerBowl' in a stadium that held

50,000 plus.“Give thekids and teachers a

day off for the adverseweatheras I'm sure itwill notmake a bigchange in the students grade,but I'm sure the teachers willwant their pay plus the extradays for the make-up days, ifthey occur.

“My only gripe is – wherewere the kids when the snowfell and neighbors needed theirdriveways and walks shoveled.Oh yes, I forgot, our parentsbought us an iPad, iPhone, etc.for Christmas so we can sit onour butts and talk to our friendsin the warmth of a home by thefireplace.”

D.J.

“It was a great idea! Not foronly the students, but for theopening and closing doors onschool buildings stressing theheating system, less wear andtear on school buses, personalvehicles, and not to mentionroad conditions.”

O.H.R.

“Asa37-year-oldIdon't thinkI should be saying back whenwe were kids...but we did notget school called off because itwas cold. (And we went toschool during the last -30 freezeout.) Or tomorrow morning itMIGHT snow let's call school at4 p.m. the day before...youwentto school every single day.

“We also did not have amini-van caravan at the end of everystreet to stay warm. Youlearned to dress appropriately

for weather and if you stayedhome you may have missed atest, things didn't change be-causeof theweather.Thesekidsand people making the deci-sions need to toughen up.”

Angie Nordheim

“This wasn't just 'cold tem-perature' that arrived in theTristate, itwasseverelydanger-ousforanywarm-bloodedbeingto be exposed for even a fewminutes.

“Having been in the educa-tionbusinessforover30years, Ihave witnessed firsthand thecountless times large numbersof students arrive to school inthemiddle ofwinternot proper-ly dressed for the weather.

“The fault of the parents?Sometimes, but children, nomatter the age, will wear whatthey like,what is in fashion, andnotwhat theyneed tokeep fromexperiencing severe cold andpossibly frostbite. Often, thosewinter hats, coats and gloveswill find their way to a back-pack,assoonas theparents turnaway.

“Noteverybodycanaffordtodrive their kids to school, notevery child has warm enoughclothing, so every effort mustbemade to keep them safe. Theschools made the correct deci-sion to close the schools, andsurely would have faced law-suits had any child come toharm because of the inclementweather.”

NEXT QUESTIONAre you worried about terroristattacks at the 2014 Winter Olym-pics in Sochi, Russia? Why orwhy not?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via e-mail. Send youranswers [email protected] withChatroom in the subject line by 5 p.m.on Thursday.

In order to move legislationto your viewpoint you have tolegislate. No legislation meansno movement.

We live in a plural society.There are many points ofview. You cannot impose yourbeliefs on the majority; youmust sell them on the wisdomof your philosophy. If you areunable to persuade enoughvoters, then, you will lose.

Successful legislation re-quires some compromise. Ifyou are unwilling to compro-mise, then, you will need to dowhat our founding fathersdid…move to another country;or, found another country.

My great-grandfathersincluded both Puritans andQuakers. The Puritans leftEngland because they wereconsidered too radical. Theyrefused to tolerate any dis-

sent.The Quakers were much

more inclu-sive. Youprobably donot know onePuritan; as,they no longerexist.

Our Puri-tan FoundingFathers livedin small vil-lages thatwere Theoc-racies, ruled

by the local church.According to Sewell’s His-

tory of the Quakers, back in1662, three young Quakerwomen, Ann Coleman, MaryTompkins, and Alice Ambrosecame to Dover, N.H. Theypreached against professionalministers, restrictions on

individual conscience, and theestablished customs of thechurch-ruled settlement, suchas the beating of wives andchildren.

After about six weeks ofthis, a Puritan church elder,“Hatevil Nutter” helped to getDover’s citizens to sign a pet-ition “humbly craving reliefagainst the spreading and thewicked errors of the Quakersamong them.” According tothis Quaker historian, Hatevilconvinced the crown’s magis-trate, Capt. RichardWalderne,to issue an order to the con-stables of surrounding juris-dictions.

Walderne’s order requiredthe constables to take “thesevagabond Quakers, Ann Cole-man, Mary Tomkins, and AliceAmbrose,” tie them fast to acart’s tail, and “whip their

naked backs, not exceedingten stripes apiece on each ofthe them, in each town; and soto convey them from con-stable to constable, till theyare out of this jurisdictio-n”…and so they did!

Eventually, much to Nut-ter’s chagrin, the Quakerwomen returned to Dover andestablished a church.

Does any of our recentpolitics sniff of this 15th cen-tury medieval-style mental-ity? It seems that a minorityof people, some well meaning,is being manipulated by ahandful of very wealthy do-nors whose only goal is topurchase legislation.

The new building also has akitchen designed for peoplewith mobility challenges andlarge accessible individualrestrooms with special lifts tohelp people who use wheel-chairs or have mobility chal-lenges.

In the expanded Adult Ser-vices Program, participantscan choose from five interestareas: Computer Technology,Art, Continuing Knowledge;Recreation and CommunityOutings.

All individuals participatein Health andWellness, whichincludes exercise and nutri-tion, health education withcommunity health profession-als, safety and personal re-sponsibility.

Stepping Stones will con-tinue its Adult Services pro-gram at the Batavia site. Par-ticipants of both programs willhave access to the Norwoodfacility’s amenities.

Adult programs run 9 a.m.to 3 p.m. Monday through Fri-day and are designed to helpadults with disabilities buildconfidence and independence,improve health and fitness,and recognize and celebratetheir abilities, said Kay.

“Many people go to work-shops. We want to be an al-ternative to a workshop. Thefun place, offering recreationand social activities,” Kay said.Some participants come fivedays a week. Others may splitthe week between SteppingStones and a workshop or otheractivity.

“When people come here, Isee them light up socially. We

Stepping Stones will ex-pand its programs foradults with disabilities in

the new year as part of themerger of United CerebralPalsy of Greater Cincinnatiwith Stepping Stones.

The new programming willinclude computer technology,art programs including paint-ing, weaving and photography,and expanded communityexploration outings whereadults with disabilities caninteract in the community.

The expansion is the resultof combining resources of bothagencies, said Stepping StonesManager of Adult ServicesAmanda Kay, of Withamsville.

The larger Stepping Stonesnow has three program loca-tions: Indian Hill, Batavia andthe newly renovated UnitedCerebral Palsy site in Nor-wood.

Stepping Stones and UnitedCerebral Palsy are both UnitedWay partner agencies andmerged in November, recog-nizing their commonmissionto serve individuals with awide range of disabilities.

Stepping Stones continuesto serve children, teens andadults in day and overnightcamps, respites and education-al programs at the Indian Hilland Batavia sites.

In January, the adult dayprograms at Indian Hill willmove to the Norwood site,where United Cerebral Palsyhas conducted a similar pro-gram.

“This is an exciting move,”said Kay. “The new building isspecifically designed for thetype of programs we offer. Wenow have an art studio withlots of natural light and colorand space.

“We have 14 computer sta-

have a laid-back pace thatinvites people to participate infun programs,” said Kay. “Peo-ple who otherwise might feelshy or reserved feel comfort-able making relationships.They find their way to fit in.”

A key component of everyactivity is choice. The art pro-gram is a dramatic example.

“Art is not only a way tocommunicate and express yourfeelings,” said Art ProgramCoordinator Katie Brenner of

Northside. “The whole processis making decisions andchoices – what color to use?What do I want on this side? Isit finished? They are in con-trol. So many of the people weserve rely on a lot of otherpeople to do things for them.Here they can make their owndecisions,” said Brenner.

Some art activities willresult in a finished piece, oth-ers are about the art experi-ence. “Wemight put paint in a

salad spinner and see whathappens. We’ve takenMatch-box cars and driven themthrough the paint to createpatterns.”

Every activity in the AdultServices program expandsexperience, which builds confi-dence and independence, saidKay.

A couple of weeks ago,Linda Vaccariello ofCincinnati Magazinecalled and asked if Iwould share some tips onmaking goetta for anarticle she was writing. Itold her I had just made abatch since I wanted toshare my latest recipewith you.

Goetta, as many of youknow, is a Cincinnati andNorthern Kentucky spe-cialty. Goetta has Ger-manic origins, but mostpeople who live in Ger-many have never heardof it. Inge, my Germandaughter-in-law whogrew up in Germany, said

she didn’thave a clueuntil shemoved toCincinnati.Yes, it’sdefinitelya Cincin-nati andNorthernKentucky“thing.”

A possi-bility about the name isthat it comes from theGerman word “gote” or“gotte,” which meanspeeled grain. The wordbecame Americanized tomean “goetta,” since theingredient you cannot dowithout for authenticgoetta is pinhead oats(also called steel-cutoats). Dorsel’s and Bob’sRedMill are commonbrands.

Goetta is a “hand-me-down” recipe and eachfamily’s is a bit different.It’s a ritual in my familyand I even use mymoth-er-in-law Clara’s speciallong-handled spoon thatshe inherited from her

mother.Jon Peters, a Western

Hills reader, makes hisfather-in-law Bill Sand-ers’ recipe.

“I even use his panand really enjoyed mak-ing it this year. There’ssomething special aboutusing a family recipe andmaking a big batch thatyou’re going to sharewith family and friends,”he told me. Jon and El-len’s kids get to help, aswell. Jon calls his loavesof goetta “bricks,” andhis family’s recipe is onmy blog.

Rita’s goettaI’ve been making my

mother-in-law Clara’s

goetta for years withpork shoulder, just as shemade it when theyslaughtered hogs in au-tumn. I used to cookgoetta from start to fin-ish on top of the stove,but my sister-in-law,Claire Yannetti, gave methis tip: Cook meat andveggies on top of thestove and cook oats in theslow cooker. Much easi-er! Stovetop cookingrequires frequent stir-ring and careful watch-ing so oats don’t stick.Here’s my latest and, Ithink, best version.

3 pounds fresh porkshoulder, bone-in if

possible, cut in half to fitpan

3 cups each: chopped onionsand celery (include celeryleaves)

4 dried bay leaves2 tablespoons salt, or moreto taste

1 tablespoon black pepper,or more to taste

8-10 cups water or more ifneeded

5 cups pinhead oats

Put meat, onions, cel-ery, bay, salt and pepperin large stockpot. Covermeat with water by aboutan inch or so. Bring to aboil, cover, lower to asimmer and cook untilmeat falls from bone, 3

hours or so. Add water ifnecessary to keep meatjust under liquid. Re-move meat and let coolbefore chopping finely.Save liquid. (You couldalso cook meat and veg-gies in slow cooker andyou probably won’t needto add more water).

Spray a 6-7 quart slowcooker and turn on high.Put liquid in and addoats, stirring to blend.Put lid on and cook twohours or so, stirring occa-sionally, until oats arethoroughly cooked andtender, and mixture isvery thick. If necessary,add more water as oatscook, but be careful. The

mixture, when cooked,should be thick enoughfor a spoon to stand up inwithout falling over andbe difficult to stir. Addmeat and continue tocook, covered, for about45 minutes, stirring occa-sionally. Add more saltand pepper if you want –don’t be shy about addingthem. Remove bayleaves.

Line bread pans withwrap or foil. Put goetta inpans, smoothing tops. Letcool, cover and store inrefrigerator for 12 hoursor so to set up. Store inrefrigerator a week orseveral months in freez-er.

To serve: Fry withbacon until both goettaand bacon are crisp onboth sides. Or in bacongrease.

Tip: Quick-cookingpinhead oats now avail-able. I just found this outand have not tested therecipe with these, so Ican’t recommend thesubstitution yet.
