MONTGOMERY — All sixmembers of the Taylor familyhave been playing music to-gether for the last two years,but when A Side of Taylorsstepsonstageat theOhioStateFair July 25, it will do so infront of its largest crowd.

Parents Chris and JJ leadtheir four children – Laurel,16, Mason, 14, Lydia, 12, andMaxwell, 8 – in playing blue-grass-style music they de-scribeasAmericana.Thefam-ily has grown the size an scopeof its performances quickly.

“We were able to cut ourteeth a lot at the Montgomeryand Hyde Park farmers mar-kets,” Chris said. “It really

helped out a lot, but threehours is a long time to play outin the sun and heat.”

A Side of Taylors is sched-uled to play two sets at noonand2p.m. on theGazeboStageThursday, July 25. The fairruns from July 24 throughAug. 4 at the state fair groundsin Columbus.

The six-member banddidn’t always include all thechildren. At first, it was justChris playing solo and lettingMason join in on shows spo-radically.

“He came out of the wombsinging,” Chris said. “I toldhim, ‘maybe you can play asong or two with me.’ Masonwent from one or two songs ashow to 45-minute sets in notime.”

The band has gone frombe-ing backgroundmusic to play-ing prominent regionalevents. The past two yearshave seen A Side of Taylorsperform at Redsfest, make itthrough part of the auditionsfor America’s Got Talent, and

play the Thompson House inNewport, Ky.

Playing music might be animportant part of the family’slife, but Chris said it’s “not afamily requirement.”

“The big thing is it doesbring out the best andworst inus,” Chris said. “JJ and Iwant-ed to make sure the kids wantto do it but it’s not a family re-quirement – not what we cen-tralize our life around – life isfull.”

Following the fair, the fam-ily hopes to record a CD, buthas had to wait for its leadsingers voice to settle in.

“Mason is the lead singerand there’s nothing like tryingto schedule a CD recordingwith his ever-changing voice,”Chris said. “Sometime in be-tween showswehave to drop akey for songs because of hisvoice.”

MONTGOMERY — The fiveMontgomery residents angeredby gunfire sound from PointBlank Range & Gunshop willhave to take their complaints toBlue Ash officials, according tothe Montgomery GovernmentAffairs Committee.

Steve Pollak, DeershadowLane resident, said the disputeisn’t about politics or activism,but if something isn’t done to fixthe noise, he and the other resi-dents will seek to create publicpressure.

“Legally or not, this is a nui-sance,” Pollak said. “Wewant to

nudge Blue Ash and nudge(Point Blank owner Tom) Wil-lingham to figure out where thenoise is getting out.”

Pollak told the committee hecanheargunfire fromtherangeeven while watching an actionmovie inhishouse. If somethingisn’t done, Pollak promised thegroup would put up yard signsand make the situation “crazy”for Blue Ash officials and Wil-lingham.

Montgomery has no officialrecourse, law director TerryDonnellon said, because thenoise is coming from Blue Ash.

The only two courses of ac-tion would be to make a noisecomplaint to theBlueAshPoliceDepartment or talk directlywith Blue Ash officials to see ifthere is anything theywould do,according to the committee.

“We have been in contactwith our Blue Ash counter-parts,” said Wayne Davis, citymanager. “(Blue Ash city staffsays) Point Blank has workedwithin theircitycodeandbeenamodel group up to this point.”

The BAPD has conductednoise surveys in thepast andde-termined that Point Blank iswithin the 90-decible limit forshooting ranges prescribed bythe Ohio Administrative Code.Like many other states, Ohiocode relies on theNationalRifleAssociation Range Sourcebookfor guidance on shooting-rangeguidelines.

“This is violating our right touse our property for our ownbenefit,” said John Augustin,Deerfield Road resident. “I amalways interruptedbythesoundof gunfire.”

Augustin said this has beenan issue since the range openedin November 2012 and he hasbeen asking Willingham tosoundproof the building sincethen.

“I don’t see where we can in-terveneon thismatter,”Donnel-lon said. “I just don’t see it.”

Dogs are no longer al-lowed to legally roampub-lic property in SycamoreTownship unless undercontrol of their owner.

Trustees said they re-ceived informal com-plaints made by residentswho saw a dog wanderingaround alone and withouta leash.TrusteeCliffBish-op said he once saw a dogwhogot loose accidentallyknock an older man downwhilewalkinghis ownpet.In response, the board ap-proved a law requiringowners to keep their dogsunder control while offprivate property.

The state allows indi-vidual municipalities topass their own leash lawswhen county commission-ers haven’t, but withoutthem, police can be hesi-tant to cite owners whosedogsaren’t restrained. Ifadog is seenonpublic prop-erty within SycamoreTownship without beingunder control, the ownercan be fined between $25to $100 for a first offense,and between $75 to $250for each subsequent viola-tion,accordingto thereso-lution.

Owners will also beconsidered violators of

the law if their dog isroaming private propertynot owned by them andwithout the owner’s per-mission, the law adds.

Trustees felt that peo-ple, other pets or propertycould be put in danger if adog is able to roam freeoutside of private proper-ty on their own.

“People have to havecontrol of their dog,”board President TomWeidman said.

BLUE ASH — When thecurtain closes for Cincin-nati Opera’s “Aida,” LauraDejean of Blue Ash willfinish her first opera per-formanceand thepharma-cy student hopes the expe-rience leads to more rolesin the future.

“I’ve enjoyed theatersince a very young age,”Dejean said. “It’s excitingthat Aida is coming backand ironic for me to beplayingapart in suchabigshow.”

Dejean plays a super-numerary or super – non-speaking, non-singing rolesimilar to an extra in amovie – as a volunteer. Al-though it’s a volunteerrole,Dejeanhopes tobuildon the experience and getbigger roles in plays ormovies later.

“Supers will share thestagewith internationally-renowned artists and

work with celebrated di-rectors and conductors,”said Kaitlin King, publicrelations intern with theCincinnati Opera, in an

email. “Supers are re-quired to attend approxi-mately10 to15 rehearsals.No experience is neces-sary and all super posi-

tions are filled on a volun-tary basis.”

The first time the Uni-versity of Cincinnatialumna watched an operawas as a child when herparents took her to see“Phanton of The Opera”and since then she hasbeen hooked.

Dejean’s family isspread across three conti-nents and speaks four lan-guages – French is thefirst language – and shesays the diversity in cul-tures is what led to herlove of arts. Although sheconsiders theater to be a

hobby, Dejean takes pianolessons and hopes to keepin touch with the Cincin-nati Opera.

“I’ve truly enjoyed ev-ery part of this experi-ence,” she said. “I’m sothankful to the CincinnatiOpera for this opportunityto see how much hardwork and planning goesinto this production.”

“Aida” opened July 18and its final performanceis at 3 p.m. July 28.

St. Vin-cent Ferrer teachers chose theacademic lessons which coin-cidedwhat studentswere learn-ing about in their science class-es, Principal DougAlpiger said.

Students in grades one,three, five and seven weretreated to a 40-minute lessonfrom zoo employees featuringlive animals. Third-graderslearned about physical and be-havioral adaptations in theirsession, and the theme was ap-plied to the two animals the zoobrought. In addition to learningwhat adaptations those animalstook on, students were also ableto pet Augustine the alligator

and Sophia the Brazilian short-tailed opossum.

Alpiger said the PTO wantsto bring in the zoo’s outreachprogram annually for odd-num-bered grades, so students willbe able to attend it every otheryear. He added that not only do

the zoo’s pre-set lessons com-plement the school’s curricu-lum, they also comply with thestate’s academic standards.

Sycamore grad has World view at IUKyle Hart is far from satis-

fied.After the starting pitcher

helped lead Indiana to the Col-legeWorld Series, the rising ju-nior is hungry for anotherchance at a championship. Indi-ana became the first Big Tenteam since Barry Larkin’s 1984University of Michigan squadto advance to the CWS, but the2011 Sycamore High Schoolgraduate feels that the seasoncould have been even morememorable.

“Ireallybelievethatwewerethe best team there,” Hart said.“I was shocked that we didn’twin.”

His teammates felt the sameway. Instead of basking in thehistory-making season, Hartand his fellow returning Hoo-siers are ready to defend theirBig Ten title and win the NCAAtitle.The trip toOmahawasspe-cial, but was not the ultimatedream that theHoosiers hope torealize.

“It was fun, but we werevery, very upset that we didn’twin,” Hart said. “That makesme happy.”

After starring at Sycamore,the 6-foot-5-inch southpaw was

thrown into the fire right away.He started 15 games in hisfreshmanseason, and started15more as a sophomore. Hart wasprepared for the higher stakesthat comewith collegebaseball.

“There is some added pres-sure. It’s almost a senseofneed-ing to win,” Hart said. “You’reexpected to go out there and do

what they brought you here todo.”

Hart has the mental makeupthat it takes to succeed on themound.He posted a1.322WHIPhis sophomore season, downfrom the 1.440 he allowed as afreshman. He admits that themental aspect of pitching is thetoughest part of succeeding in

the college game, and some-thing that he continuously triesto improve upon.

“I feel the same amount ofpressure every game. It reallyis all about what you put in yourmind,” Hart said. “If you reallywork torelaxandstaycalm,youcan get into the rhythm of thegame.”

“You really have to work onjust slowing things down. Youkind of get pushed off the deepend and you either sink or youswim.”

According to Hart, the Hoo-siers began talking themselvesup as a contender in the fall andcontinued to encourage one an-other through the winter. Oncethe season started, they knewthey had the talent to competewith the best teams in the coun-try. A disappointing sweep atthe hands of Michigan Stateduring conference play was aturning point. Instead of lettingthe losses spiral into a long los-ing streak, the Hoosiersshrugged it off and remainedconfident.

“We knew we had a goodteam,”Hart said. “That broughtus down to earth for a minute,but then we thought that itmight have been a fluke.”

Defeating Ohio State toclinch a share of the Big Ten ti-

tle really loosened up the Hoo-siers. The following day, in theseries and regular season fi-nale, Hart took the mound andled Indiana to its first outrightconference baseball title since1932. He shut down the Buck-eyes, allowing just one run onfour hits in 8.1 innings.

“Oncewe clinched a share ofthe title, it took the pressure offandwejust started toroll,”Hartsaid.

ThewinoverOhioStategaveHart an 8-2 record on the sea-son. In his sole postseason start,he pitched five innings but re-ceived a no-decision in theHoo-siers’ extra-inningBigTen tour-nament loss to Nebraska. Indi-ana came back the followingday to defeat the Cornhuskersand add a conference tourna-ment championship to its regu-lar season title. After all of thesuccess they experienced in2013, Hart knows that the Hoo-siers will not surprise anyonenext year.

“I think itwill addsomepres-sure at first, and we’ll have thetarget on our back,” said Hart,who is spending his summerplaying for the Newport (R.I.)Gulls in theNewEnglandColle-giate Baseball League. “At theend of the day, if you’re the bet-ter team, you’ll win.”

In one gruesome Novemberinjury, David Schneider dislo-cated his foot, broke his fibula,torehismeniscus, anddamagedcartilage around his knee.

That night was just the be-ginning of his rehabilitationprocess. Unfortunately for the2010 Moeller High School grad-uate, the injury was too severeto overcome. After months ofgrueling rehab, Schneider an-nounced in May that he will notbe able to playhis senior year offootball for Ball State Univer-sity.

“It’s really been a life-chang-ing experience,” Schneidersaid. “On the positive side, I’llbe more ready for the businessworld. I will takemy academicsmore seriously than ever be-fore.”

The professional salesmajorhas been working for Cintas inMuncie, IN, this summer andplans on graduating in thespring.Hewill continue toworkpart-time for Cintas during theschool year. It will take morethan that to fill the void left byfootball.

“It’s definitely tough, be-cause now I’mworking fulltimeandnot seeingmyfriendseveryday at practice,” Schneidersaid.

The latest injury was not thefirst for the former Crusader.He battled through injuries tohis labrum, rotator cuff, bicep,wrist and fingers during histhree seasons at BSU. Even af-ter suffering the nasty disloca-tion in November, he refused tocall it quits. Itwas only after hisankle failed to respond to treat-ment that Schneider had to ac-cept that his football days werebehind him.

“His mental and physicaltoughness is as strong as any-one we know,” said his father,Phil Schneider. “His ability todeal with adversity has been in-credible to watch. This charac-ter developmentwill carryover

to the rest of his life. We aremore proud of the way he hashandled himself through thisprocess than we are of his foot-ball accomplishments.”

Although he will not be ableto play his senior season, theuniversity is still honoringSchneider’s scholarship.

“Thatmeans a lot tome,”Da-vid said “I can still be a leaderfor the younger guys.”

The training staff and foot-ball coaches have been there tosupport Schneider through hisinjury and treatment process.His role for the 2013 season isnot yet defined, but he plans onassisting the football programin some capacity.

“We are very pleased withthe way in which he has beentreated his entire career,” Philsaid. “The coaching staff andadministration have been firstclass throughout his career.”

Schneider will live with fourroommates next year, two whoplay football and two who donot. That will help him transi-tion from his old college life tohisnewone.Hewill stayclosetohis friends in the football pro-gram, but will have a supportsystem to help him fill his new-found free time.

“The commitment of all of

his friends, teammates,coachesand family has been incredibleand further endeared us to theschool,” Phil said.

“I’m glad I chose Ball State,”David said. “The people hereare a family to me.”

One of the most frustratingaspects of the injury is thatSchneider felt that he was play-inghisbest football rightbeforeit happened. The Tuesday nightgame against Toledo was tele-cast on ESPN2. Fans that tunedin for some midweek “MAC-tion” had to turn away from thegrisly sight of Schneider’s low-er leg. Although he was an im-portant part of the Cardinals’9-4 season, Schneider missedthe opportunity to play in theBeef O’Brady’s Bowl inDecem-ber.

“The injury came at a timewhen he was playing his best,the team was excelling, and thechance to compete in his firstbowl game was missed,” Philsaid. “He was able to climb outof this with the support of fam-ily, teammates and coaches. Noone treated him different justbecause he was not playing – hefound that he could be avalue toothers by showing them howtough they could be mentallyand physically.”

A publication of

Why do we not appreciate gift of life?Life, liberty and the pur-

suit of happiness, the termsthat Thomas Jefferson usedin his 1776 treatise that wenow hold dear, are sadly miss-ing in the old age of mostAmericans, if they even get tothat stage of their lives.

I say this on the convictionthat our current Americanlifestyle has usurped our lib-erty to be healthy and hasgiven us an early death rela-tive to most other developedcountries.

I also presume that thepursuit of happiness is notfound in taking expensivemedications, continual visitsto physicians, or stays in hos-pitals, nursing homes or as-sisted living facilities. Ourbiggest challenge in America

is not foundinside thewalls of theCapitol Build-ing or theWhite House;it’s found inevery house-hold in everycity, big andsmall. Obesity.And it’s out of

control.Each year we gain weight,

lots of it. And we pay for it –cancer, heart disease, stroke,and diabetes, diseases close-ly-linked with obesity, a con-dition which the AMA hasrecently decided to label as adisease. Finally.

Despite having the mostsophisticated medical care

delivery in the world anddespite spending the most percapita on health care, we rank33rd in life expectancy – at79, four years behind Japan,the world leader. They leadfor several reasons, one ofwhich is their lifestyle. Life-Nuts, a free community-basedvitality program, incorpo-rates some of that. It’s hard toimagine that we’re tied for33rd with Cuba, a countrywhere poverty is widespread.

In 2010 we spent 2.6 trillionon health care or 50 billion aweek. 21 percent of that costgoes to treat obesity-relateddiseases. It’s getting worse.Americans are projected tohave shorter lifespans and thebaby boomers, the most obesedemographic, will drag heavi-

ly on the medicare system asthey enter it at age 65.

AARP reported that astudy of 17 industrializedcountries found that Amer-ican men ranked dead lastwith a life expectancy of 75.6years. I don’t blame the “eat,drink or get sick” industries(to borrow a quote from thelate Alan Abelson of Bar-ron’s). I blame the Americanlifestyle, which has transi-tioned from active and, moreor less, plant eating (not manycould afford meat during thedepression years) to a seden-tary, meat-and-dairy consum-ing existence.

Research has shown the illeffects of meat and dairy aswell as the beneficial effectsof aerobic exercise. Reading

“The China Study,” a book byCornell professor ColinCampbell, opened my eyes toour dietary problems.

LifeNuts.org offers a newlifestyle to those who want toenjoy a long, healthy and pro-ductive life. LifeNuts alsooffers a challenge to all Amer-icans to come to IndianapolisSaturday, Nov. 2, to competein the Monumental half-mara-thon and see if they are fasterthan Mike Fremont, a 91-year-old marathon record holderwhose lifestyle inspired theformation of LifeNuts.

I hope the vast majority ofAmericans are like me. It is notthe George Zimmerman trial Iam objecting to, it is the publicresponse.

Certainly, there should be atrial. Justice must be done! Butjustice alone must be the decid-ing factor. It is not because Iwas not interested in the out-come. It is because it wasturned into a circus. What I sawwas politicians and partiesmore interested in dividing thepublic than uniting it for theirown selfish purposes.

Hopefully, public demon-strations will have faded to avery dull murmur. Our duty isto search not only for the truth,but to eliminate the hatred anddistrust of the many peoplesthat make up our nation. I havesympathy for the grievingfamily.

Given the sentiments accen-tuated by this trial there is the

possibility thatfactors of race,religion ornational originwill give someignorant bigota reason toexpress un-reasoned mal-ice toward astranger.

For thosewho may think this is new tosociety, let me assure you thatit is as old as when humanitybegan to differentiate itself. Iteven exists within societies.Take a fewminutes to thinkabout howmany times youhave heard something hatefulabout someone within your ownsocial sub-group.

A mental exercise might behelpful here. What does anoutsider of your group think ofthat person? It is likely to beeither positive or negative

depending on his prejudices orpolitical position.

As someone who has facedprejudices, I think I can speakwith some authority. Before Ibegin, you likely have facedthem too. Sometimes, they arehidden. You may be aware ofthem through a person’s ac-tions.

My awakening came when in1955 I was sent to Germany as amember of the U.S. Army ofOccupation. Being Jewish, thetime between when I got myorders and my arrival gave mea lot to think about. My deci-sion was that I would learnGerman as fast as possible andI would only go into town incivilian clothes unless I was onduty.

The results were instructive.Though my German was slowin coming, I was respected fortrying. The civvies lessenedthe obvious differences.

It was not long until I was ina discussion group and hadmade some friends. Some ofthem had been German sol-diers. The example I want tomake here is that in any soci-ety, acceptance comes easily ifyou adapt to it rather than tryto change it. The changes comewhen it accepts you and youractions.

This became my policy andhas remained so to this day. Iconsider every new person Imeet as an individual. Thisenables me to have friends ofany race, religion or national-ity. It also eliminates those whoappear anti-social or threat-ening. That seems to be thecause of much distrust. Theanswer to all this seems sosimple. An old saying applies:“To get along, go along!”

Thinking in the grayareas

I’d like to respond toBruce Healey’s recentcolumn (July 10 North-east Suburban Life) la-menting what he per-ceives as “a schizo-phrenic ideological gapon the right.”

As a conservative anda person of faith, neithermajor political party of-fers a “one size fits all”path. Issues are broadand complex: I believethat in many cases wecan do better with small-er government, but insome cases regulationsare needed for a morestable and safe society.Onecanoppose thedeathpenalty, but also ac-knowledge the need totake up arms when cer-tain goods are at stake.One can make reason-able accommodationsfor immigration whileexercising prudence indetermining who can be-come a citizen.

Mr. Healey seems tosuggest that issues andRepublicans should al-ways be one-sided andconsistent across theboard. Would that lifewas so clean and clear.

Deer a welcomevisitor

I absolutely love thedeer (“Oh deer, an ag-gressive mom,” July 17Northeast SuburbanLife). There is amomandher “kids” in my neigh-borhood and surround-ing streets (I live on Jo-lain Drive). I have alarge dog whom I walktwo to three times a day.When I see the mom, wekeep a respectful dis-tance, say hello andmove on. Yes, she hassnorted and pawed, butnever more than that.My dog sitter reportsthat she has followedthem home!

How wonderful for usand sad for the deer thatwe have to co-exist. I sin-cerely hope that we don’thave to do anything se-vere to these beautifulcreatures.

July 17 questionDo you agree with the new

abortion laws that were includedin Ohio’s recently approved bud-get, such as prohibiting public hos-pitals entering into written agree-ments with ambulatory surgicalcenters that perform abortions toaccept their patients in case ofemergency, and requiring doctorsto test for a fetal heartbeat, theninform the patient seeking anabortion inwritingof thepresenceof that heartbeat, and then pro-vide statistical likelihood that thefetus could be carried to term?Why orwhy not?

“Yes.Noexplanationneeded.”J.K.

“There is no middle groundbetween those who believe thatabortion is the killing of a humanbeing and those who believe it isthe correction of an extremelyunfortunate life choice before itis too late.

“The women who are facedwiththechoiceofa20+yearcom-mitment to raising a child theyarenotprepared tohandlehaveatough enough decision abouttheir future. It shouldbe theirde-cision and theirs alone.

“The folks who disagree withthis have been unsuccessful atmaking abortion illegal so nowthey have stooped to low and de-spicable tactics trying tomake itdifficultor impossibleforawom-an to receive a safe and legal

abortion.Theywouldratherseeawoman die from a botched abor-tion at an illegal clinic than com-promise their belief.

“They do not condone takingthe child's life but they have noqualms about killing the motheror dooming her to raise a childshe is ill equipped to support.”

F.S.D.

“The Ohio legislators shouldall have to adopt two childrenborn tomotherswhodidnotwantor could afford the children.They will probably continue toreduce welfare. Planned Parent-hood should have greater fund-ing not less.”

Walter

“I have been a pro-choice ad-vocate for decades. I believe the

governor is only giving in to hispro-life donors and doesn't caremuch for women's rights.”

E.E.C.

July 10 questionShouldthemorningafterpillbe

made available to women of allages?Why or why not?

“Themorningafterpill shouldbe available to allwomennomat-ter what age. Only the woman inquestion has the right to decidewhether or not she is going totake the pill. Only she has theright to decide what happens toher body. Freedom of choice iswhat this country is all about.

“Let me bring up another im-portant related point. Have weforgotten why crime fell so dra-matically in the late1990s? Itwasbecause of Roe versus Wade, al-lowing abortions for everyone.The previously unwanted preg-nancies topooruneducatedwom-endidnot occur, so voila 20yearslater these people were notaround to commit crimes.

“I don’t understand howwe asAmericans can proudly hold upour heads to the rest of theworldand even think about enactingmore laws that discriminateagainst women.”

Neville Duffield

“No. Young girls shouldn’tmake important health and mor-al decisions without their par-

ents’ guidance. If we make themorning-after pill available to allages, we implicitly say 'Youmight not evenbe a teenager yet.But you can go ahead and havesex, and you can control the con-sequences, and you can do it allon your own.' Those are scandal-ous lies. This is the kind of abso-lutely wrong thinking that haseroded families, putmore peopleinto poverty, and so polluted ourculture that many people todaydon’t even realize howmuch bet-ter life could be.”

You make small choicesevery day.

Sometimes my enthu-siasm in spring for plant-ing herbs and producegoes so out of boundsthat when it’s time forharvesting, I get over-whelmed.

I wentout earlyto picktomatoesand hap-pened tosee what Ithoughtwere a fewgreenbeansready topick. Ditto

for cucumbers. By thetime I finished, I had abig basket of beans, al-most a dozen cucumbersand more than enoughsquash for the neigh-borhood. I had also plant-ed a row of both Iranian/lemon and sweet basil inthe veggie garden. (Notthat I didn’t already haveenough in the herb gar-den!) The basils werejust starting to flower soI had to harvest them, aswell. The veggies willkeep for a couple of daysbut I wanted to workwith the basil then, so Imade my latest versionof freezer pesto.

Rita’s freezer pestoThere’s a huge in-

terest in making pesto,so I could probably de-vote a whole column to it.Readers want to know ifnuts are essential. No,and walnuts make a goodsubstitute for pine nuts.Should you add garlicafter thawing? I add bothnuts and garlic to mypesto prior to freezing,but some food gurus sayleave them out since, intheir opinion, these items

turn strong in the freez-er.

I use my food proces-sor, but you could use ablender or make this byhand. This is a thickerpesto that freezes well.Add more oil after thaw-ing, if you like. Some-times I’ll add a bit ofwater to pesto if I’musing it to coat pasta.Check out my blog to seesome favorite recipesusing pesto.

1 to 11⁄2 teaspoons garlic,minced

1⁄4 cup pine nuts, toasted ifdesired

1⁄2 stick unsalted butter(optional, but good)

Generous handful parsleyleaves

4 generous cups basilleaves, packed

11⁄4 cups Parmesan cheese orto taste

1⁄4 cup Romano cheese1⁄2 to 3⁄4 cup extra virgin oliveoil

Generous squeeze of lemonjuice

With processor’s mo-tor running, add garlicand nuts. Add everythingelse and using the pulsebutton, pulse until justmixed, then pour intocontainers and freeze.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Why does my pestoturn dark? Basil oxidizesrapidly when leaves arecut up either too finelyand/or exposed to air, souse the pulse button tomix. That also alleviatesheat while processing,which can turn the basildark. Try these tips tokeep your pesto green.

» Blanch the basilleaves to keep themgreen.

» Add parsley and

lemon juice to keep thegreen color.

» Pour a thin film ofoil over the top beforestoring may keep enoughair out, as well.

And sometimes, evenif you take those steps, itstill may get dark. Don’tworry, it’s a visual thingand doesn’t affect thequality or taste.

Tomato zucchinicasserole

No real recipe here.Sometimes I’ll add a bitof fresh chopped basilbefore serving.

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Spray casserole

dish. Layer sliced zucchi-ni, sliced onions, slicedtomatoes, a sprinkling oforegano and garlic pow-der or fresh mincedgarlic (not too much),Parmesan and mozzarel-la cheeses.

Repeat layers exceptfor mozzarella, whichshould be added last 10minutes of baking time.Bake about 45 minutes oruntil veggies are tenderbefore adding last layerof cheese.

Orange dreamsicleyogurt pops

Frommy book, “TheOfficial Snack Guide”

for kids. Healthy andrefreshing.

Blend together:

1pint plain yogurt1⁄2 cup thawed orange juiceconcentrate

1 teaspoon vanilla

Pour into frozen popmolds and freeze.

Lemonade pops:Substitute pink or reg-ular lemonade for theorange juice.

Stay hydratedI worry about the

younger and older con-tingent in our Communi-ty Press family. They’rethe ones who may not

hydrate properly, sokeep an eye out. Add asqueeze of fresh lemonor lime juice to water foran extra boost for yourimmune system and tomake drinking watermore appealing. Make ita fun drink by addingfresh mint, stevia orother sweetener to taste.

Cancer Support Com-munity and the Ellen B.Ganson Memorial Foun-dation will continue towork together in 2013 tosupport women withbreast cancer and breastcancer survivors.

With the support of a$7,500 grant from theGanson Memorial Foun-dation, Cancer SupportCommunity will continueto offer weekly supportgroups for women whohave been recently diag-nosed with breast cancer,as well as weekly gentlefitness classes called“Healthy Steps: LebedMethod,” which are spe-cifically designed to helpcancer survivors in-crease range of motion,minimize or prevent lym-phedema, and lift theirspirits.

As with all programsat CSC, the supportgroupsandHealthyStepsclasses are led by paidprofessionals, but of-fered completely free ofcharge to participants,thanks to the generosityof individual donors,companies, and founda-tions, such as the GansonMemorial Foundation.

“We are pleased tohelp fund theseprogramsat Cancer Support Com-munity,” said Beth Gold-

farb, executive directorof the Ganson Founda-tion. “Ensuring that thereare support groups andresearch-based fitnessprograms like HealthySteps available free ofcharge for women in ourcommunity is very con-sistent with our goals ofsupporting and advocat-ing for breast cancer pa-tients and survivors.”

The Ellen B. GansonMemorial Foundationwas founded to continuethe work Ganson beganafter being diagnosedwith breast cancer in1996.

Inspired by the notionthat her cancer diagnosisfelt like being “hit with aton of bricks,” she co-founded “Bricks Alongthe Journey”withMarciaLevitas – a 40-year breastcancer survivor herself.

In2001, the twowomenlaunched an annual fund-raiser featuring an auc-tion of salvaged bricksthat had been trans-formed into works of artby artists and communityparticipants. Then, afterGanson’s 10-year battlewith cancer ended in2006, friends and familytook up her cause, form-ing the foundation in hermemory and continuingthe fundraising and advo-

cacy work.Through the years,

Bricks for Breast Cancerauctions have raisedmore than $200,000 to ad-vance the cause of breastcancer survivorshipthrough the support ofbreast cancer research,education, advocacy, andpatient support, and doz-ens of local organizationsand projects have re-ceived funding from theproceeds. Formore infor-mation about the Ellen B.Ganson Memorial Foun-dation, visitBreastCancerBricks.org.

“We’re thrilled to re-ceive a Ganson grantagain thisyear,” saidRickBryan, executive direc-tor of Cancer SupportCommunity, “and we’rehonored that our pro-grams of support, educa-tion, and hope can helpkeep alive the legacy ofEllen Ganson’s passionand support for thosefighting breast cancer.”

More than 500 Smiles…and Counting!The University of Cincinnati Blue AshCollege thanks our generous sponsorsfor their support of the UC Smilesprogram, which provides area schoolchildren with access to dental care andan introduction to the possibilities of acollege education.

• UC Smiles has served more than550 local school kids over the pastthree years.

• The check ups include a full oral healthexam and teeth cleaning by qualifiedstudents in the Dental Hygiene programat UC Blue Ash College (the largestDental Hygiene program in Ohio).

• Each child receives an assessment oftheir oral health, toothpaste, a tooth-brush, floss, and tips for good nutrition.

• Many of the children served in theUC Smiles program have never hadaccess to dental care.

None of this would be possible without the generous support of Crest + Oral B, the Dental Care Plus Group and the Delta Dental Foundation.

Thank you for giving us all a reason to smile!
