UNION — A court case filedby a citizen’s group is question-ing the Union City Commis-sion’s right to rezone 35 acresof land for a new, and bigger,Kroger store on U.S. 42.

Union Concerned Citizensfiled a complaint in Boone Cir-cuit Court May 14 requestingan order to overturn the com-mission’s recent vote changingthe zoning of a parcel of emptyland to allow building a new

Kroger.City commissioners voted

3-1 on April 14 to change thezoning from neighborhood of-fice and suburban residentialzoning to a commercial zone.The Boone County PlanningCommission recommended thedenial of the zone change onFeb. 5.

Plans for the new Kroger atthe southeast side of U.S. 42 atthe intersection with BraxtonDrive call for a135,976-square-feet Kroger Marketplace, an8,000-square-foot liquor store,

a fuel center and 730 parkingspaces.

Thenewstorewouldbewestof Kroger’s existing 66,000-square-foot store.

Thecomplaint, filedbyToddMcMurtry of Gerner &KearnsAttorneys At Law, alleges thecity commission’s decisiondoes not agree with the UnionTown Plan or the county’s zon-ing regulations.

According to complaintnumber 57 in the court filing,“By arbitrarily approving theapplication, the Union City

Commission exceeded theirstatutory authority.”

McMurtry said people whoown property have a right andexpectation as amatter of pub-lic policy zoning not bechanged unless there are ma-jor changes. There have notbeen major changes, he said.

“That’s the whole point ofzoningand toooften I thinkcitycommissions ignore it,”McMurtry said.

Mayor Don Kirby said thecity’s attorney is preparing aresponse to the lawsuit, and the

lawsuit will be discussed at theJune 2 commission meeting.Kirby said he had no furthercomment or information aboutthe lawsuit at this time.

Union City Attorney GregVoss said the June 2 meetingwill be the first opportunity hehas to talk to the city commis-sion as he prepares the city’sdefense.

“It’s too early to give any de-tails about anything,” Vosssaid. “Wewill go into executivesession andwe’ll put together aplan of attack.”

The thought of hungry chil-dren keeps Laura Duman-cic up at night.

“Hunger is a bigger prob-lem in our community thanmost people realize,” said Du-mancic, a Union mother ofthree and volunteer with Go-Pantry.

“During the school yearthere are many kids receivingtheir only meals – breakfastand lunch – from the schoolthey attend,” she said. “Whenschool isnot insession,manyofthemdo not eat. The thought ofone hungry child pulls ourheartstrings. The idea ofmanymakes us get up and do some-thing.”

So,Dumancicandagroupofmothers and their children es-tablished GoPantry, a nonprof-it, all-volunteer organizationthat helps feed food-insecurechildren in Boone County.Those who receive summerfood boxes or GoBoxes, Du-mancicsaid,arereferredto theprogram by the family re-source officer at their school.

Recent statistics fromdatacenter.kidscount.org, shesaid, show that 31 percent ofBoone County school-age kidsare eligible for the free and re-duced lunch program. Thatequates to over 6,500 kids.

“Asmanylocalkids lookfor-ward to swimming and sum-

mer fun, there are other kids inour schools that dread the ideaof summer,” Dumancic said.“Not only do they lack plannedactivities, much more serious-ly they lack theverybasicneedof food. The goal of the fooddrives is to collect healthy, fill-

ing food items to bedistributedeach week of the summer todesignated families who other-wise will not have enough toeat.”

It wasn’t easy, Freihofersaid, but it wasworth it. Havingherbest friend,ErinFortner, byher side helped. The two are

2010graduatesofSt.HenryDis-trict High School.

“Having Becca by my sidewas so helpful,” Fortner said.“It’s kind of special that westayed together.”

According to Freihofer, thetwo didn’t plan on joining theacademy together, it’s just how“the stars aligned.”

Freihofer joined the acad-emy because she was lookingfor an opportunity that wouldallow her to explore the worldand serve others. She will go onto be a Marine Corps pilot andhopes to serve for as manyyears as she can. Her first stopis Quantico, Virginia, for sixmonths at The Basic School.

with up Boone CountySchools tohost fooddrivesat Erpenbeck, Mann andYealey elementary andGrayMiddle School.

“Food drives are GoPantry’s primary sourceof food, all ofwhichwill beused to feed thekids inourprogram throughout the10 weeks of summer,” shesaid. “Not only are thepeople of Boone Countygenerous, they also wanttohelp.ThewordaboutGo

Pantry Summer FoodBoxes has spread quicklyand the response has beenoverwhelming. “

During the food drivelast week, on the first dayMann Elementary alonecollected more than 200pounds of food, she said.

Mann Principal ConnieCrigger said hosting afood drive for GoPantrycame naturally. “Theheartbeat of our school isthat our kids are commu-nity-minded,” she said.“School here is more thanabout coming in and doingyour own thing, but aboutlearning to give back. We

truly believe we are rais-ing up the next generationof world leaders. It’s criti-cal for students to under-stand that there there’s awhole world outside ofhere and themselves.”

According to Duman-cic, involving students inthe food drives also pro-vides an opportunity toeducate them on the ef-fects of poverty, hungerand nutrition. A total of1,500 pounds of food wascollected during theschools’ food drives.

FLORENCE — Plans forthe former Kroger site inFlorenceSquare are in thepreliminary stages as “anumber of national retail-ers” are looking to possi-bly lease the location.

“Due to the center’sstrong tenant roster andthe opening of KrogerMarketplace, we have re-ceived interest and are indialoguewith a number ofnational retailers,” Brix-mor Property Groupspokeswoman KristenMoore said. “We are look-ing to add a retailer thatwill add synergy and traf-fic to the center.”

The 44,299-square-footsite became vacant in

April whenKrogermovedto the north end of Flor-enceSquare onMallRoad,expanding to a Market-place. Kroger had occu-pied the space since 1977.Brixmor owns the shop-ping center, which is alsohome to T.J. Maxx, HHGregg and a number of

other retailers.Brixmor owns and op-

erates the nation’s largestwholly owned portfolio ofgrocery-anchored com-munity and neighborhoodshopping centers.

Rumors of a daycareand FreeStore Foodbankopening at the locationhave been circulating.Mayor Diane Whalen,however, said she “canpretty much feel certain”that neither type of busi-ness will be operating outof the location.Moore saidBrixmor is in discussionwith national retailers tofill the space. Once a leaseis signed, the interior andexterior of the buildingwillberenovated,shesaid.

HEBRON — They had no lackof things to motivate them.

Whether it was the 35-yearold trophy they carried aroundwith them or the 6-month oldbeard on their head coach, orthe standard dreams every kidhas of a championship, the Con-ner High School baseball teamachieved their dreams.

Conner beatHighlands 3-0 inthe Ninth Region final May 28,advancing to the state tourna-ment in Lexington. Conner’sfirst game in the “Sweet 16” ofKentucky baseball is set forJune 3.

“This is the most selflessteam I’ve ever been a part of,”Conner senior Cameron Rosssaid. “Nobody’s worried aboutgoing 0-for-4, 4-for-4, hitting ahome run, stealing bases.They’re worried about gettingthe jobdone, putting runson theboard,andgettingthat ‘W’at theend of the day.”

The championship is Con-ner’s first title since 1979, andthe Cougars displayed the tro-phy from that tournament intheir dugout during the region-al.

“(Head coach Brad Arling-haus) gave us two dates at thebeginning of the season, 2004

and1979, our last district cham-pionship and regional champi-onship,” Ross said. “Once wegot the district championship,he thought he would bring outthe trophyandshowus that1979trophy.”

Arlinghaus has been grow-ing a beard since the holidays,and was wearing a T-shirt withthe “Fear the Beard” motto onit. Arlinghaus became theschool’s all-time leadingwinnerin baseball coaching early thisseason and the regional finalwas his 150th.

“It was a dare from them,”Arlinghaussaid. “Wewereplay-ing a little tight.WehadT-shirts

made and I told them they couldwarmup in themand ever sincethey did we haven’t lost.”

Blaise Ostertag startedagainst Highlands, pitchingfive shutout innings. He alsopitchedagainstBellevue ina6-0win. In between in the semis,Ostertagplayedcenterfieldandthrew to home plate to stop Co-vington Catholic from tying thegame. BlakeHart held on to theball and tagged the Cov Cathrunner in the sixth inning.

WALTON — The Walton-Ve-ronaHighSchoolsoftballgrad-uates two seniors from thisyear’s 25-10 team.While that isnot a huge number, their valueis bigger than the one slot eachof them takes on the roster.

Julann Ginn and HannahThacker said goodbye whenthe Bearcats’ season ended inthe Eighth Region semifinals,falling 8-0 to the region’s otherset ofBearcats fromAndersonCounty May 27.

Both players hit over .400,and Thacker was a standoutpitcher who was named to theall-region team last week.

“We’ll miss everythingfrom them,” said head coachMarlin Gregg. “They were thepillars of the team. They werethe ones who reminded every-one what the expectationswere going to be. We’ll losewho I consider to be the bestpitcher in the Eighth Region,hands down.”

Ginn played first base.“Everybody depended on

them,” Gregg said. “You throwthe ball in the dirt, Julann getsit. Anything you can think ofthat will hurt us when theyleave, that is what will hap-pen.”

Beyond those seniors, theBearcatswereyoung,with twojuniors and six sophomoresmakingupthecoreof theteam.Sophomore Olivia DeZarn be-came a key addition and tookover the key position of short-stop early on.

“She was a centerfielderand she really clicked at short-stop,”Gregg said. “Webecamealittlestrongeroncewemovedher there. I could tell she gotmore comfortable there.”

The Bearcats won theEighth Region in the All “A”Classic and went to state,where they won their pool be-fore losing 4-3 to Pikeville inthe first eliminationgame.TheBearcats learned from their

experiences.“I’m most proud of the fact

that they’ve learned,” Greggsaid. “They took what we toldthem as coaches and appliedthem very well. We talkedabout hitting styles and tech-niques and they really listenedto what we told them. We did alot of moving around throughtheyear,people indifferentpo-sitions, and they adjusted verywell.”

Gregg lamented the factthat the loss to the bigger-school Bearcats was one oftheir worst games of the sea-son, but he expects it to be alearning tool.

“We had played better ballthrough the year,” Gregg said.“They caught us on a nightwhen things didn’t go our way.A couple of mistakes broughtsome negativity, but I’m proudof the way the kids played allyear long. We had the capabil-ity of playing right with them,but we caught them on a nightwhen they were ready to go.”

PARK HILLS — It was a rough,heartbreaking end for the seniorson the Notre Dame Academy soft-ball team, but Joe Stephenson triedto be philosophical after the Pandaslost in the Ninth Region final May29.

“I’m just proud of what theybuilt,” said the head coach. “It’sbeen a five-year work in progress.The effort they give, the hours andhours of working out and training,becoming a family.”

NotreDamelost toHighlands8-7in the regional final at NorthernKentucky University, ending theseason 28-6. It was a tough loss toswallow, as the Pandas lost a 6-0lead, and almost had the game tiedup in the seventh inning.

“We’re a never-say-die team,”Stephenson said. “We’ve had tocome frombehind a couple of timesthis year. These seniors’ leadershipand what they bring to the table -we’ve always got a chance andwithour lineup, I’ll go on record sayingit, this is the best hitting lineup any-one has ever seen in Northern Ken-tucky. Today we just didn’t get itdone.”

Notre Dame scored six runs inthe first inning. Amanda Meagherplated two with a single, one of hertwo hits. The Pandas benefitedfrom severalwild pitches andBlue-birdmisplays, butwere still in goodposition.

Highlands scored two in the firstand four in the third to tie the game,then two in the sixth inning to takean 8-6 lead into the seventh.

In the frame, Meagher and Ma-ria Schaefer drew walks, and lateron, senior KelseyMichael hit a dou-ble with two outs, which plated onerun and likely would have scoredthe tying run aswell, but the runnerrepresenting that eighth runmissed third base and had to re-

treat.Michael was named to the all-

tournament team, as were AbbyJones, who had a double in the re-gional final, and Kennedy Baugh,who had two hits in the final.

“We started chasing the ball a lit-tle bit,” Stephenson said. “(High-lands pitcher Bailey Spencer) wasmoving it out a little bit further. We

just didn’t come through with anymore clutch hits.”

Seniors are Laura Finke, Aman-da Meagher, Kelsey Michael, Mad-die Rose, Maria Schaefer and Han-na Sullivan. Schaefer scored her100th career RBI late in the season.

When asked wherethat play ranked in hislife, he said, “It’s hard todescribebeing in themo-ment. It’s very high upthere.”

Ostertag, a senior,said the state tourna-ment is a great way to goout.

“We came together sofast,” he said after thesemifinal win. “We’ve

worked hard all year forthis moment. It feelsgood that we have eachother’s back. We pickeach other up and rollwith it.”

In the final, Connerscored all its runs in thesixth inning to break ascoreless tie. JeffSchneider andJaredWil-liams drew walks.

Beacon light actuallyon Dudley

Regarding the article byTom Schiffer about beaconlights for emergency land-ing strips, interesting how-ever the location of the bea-con lightonDudleyPikewasnot down by Charter OakRoad.

It was next to my uncleand aunt’s house. His namewas Carl Foltz. He lived inthe stone house close to Tur-key Foot Road next to Fed-ders Feeds. He sold milkthere for years and years. Ispent a lot of summers thereworking on the farm.

The sight of the beaconlight was on the vacant lot(still is) at approximately102-104-106 Dudley.

Consider risking yourheart for a fosterchild

I read with great interestRon Bertsch’s Viewpointpiece in a recent Recorder(”No Apologies, No Excuses—ChildrenNeedYou”),call-ing for good families to stepforward tomeet the tremen-dous need for foster andadoptive families.

My family is acutelyaware of that need, havingrecentlyworkedwithDCCHto adopt our daughter fromfoster care. The most com-mon reaction we get whenwe tell our story is, “Icouldn’t do that, it wouldbreak my heart if the childhad to go back.”

Butwhilewe sit back andprotect our own hearts, hun-dreds of children eachmonth are being abused andinneedof a safe, loving fam-ily, whether for a season, orfor a lifetime.Whatwill hap-pen to these children if wedon’t help?

I urge your readers, ifyou have a heart at all,please consider callingDCCH to see how to get in-volved, whether as a fosteror adoptive parent, as a re-spite caregiver for otherfoster families, or as a men-tor for one of the children inresidential care.

You don’t have to be per-fect to be a good foster par-ent — far from it!

My family is nothing spe-cial, but with the trainingand support we receivedfrom DCCH, we are able toparticipate in saving the lifeof a child. Please considerrisking your heart to givehope to just one of “the leastof these.”

Only two of us participat-ed in the Trash For Cashcleanup in Hebron on May10. The weather looked likerain, but the sun warmed upon our walk. Our route wasshaped likeahorseshoewitha bar through it. One of usbegan at each end, I crossedthebar, thenwemet, tookoffvests, tied up bags andpulled out aluminum cans torecycle. Mom will be 83 inJune and navigated nicelyon the well-maintainedstreets.

Our thoughts togetherwere that it is very sad thatthose who litter neglecttheir responsibility of keep-ingtheircommunitiesclean.No, they don’t necessarilylive here, but most likelywork here.

At the end of Langley, Ipicked up approximately 10torn-up and blown maga-zines from all over the road-way, grassy areas and Ky.237. I was glad to pick it up,as I hope themotorists werewho were traveling thishighway.

Generally, this roadwaywas kept clean by the com-panies occupying thesestreets, Langley, Hargraveand Wright.

What happened is difficult toforget. It was Dec. 21, 2010, whenthieves broke into Children’sHome of Northern Kentucky,stealing copper plumbing (result-ing in the flooding of the lowerlevel of CHNK’s administrationbuilding), a TV from the recrea-tion room, and Christmas pre-sents intended for our residents.

After word of the crimespread, one of the first people tocall us was Helen Carroll, man-ager of community relations atToyota. She said simply, “Whatcan we do?”

With all the recent publicitysurrounding Toyota’s move toTexas, I’ve been happy to seeequal coverage devoted to Toyo-ta’s positive impact on the region.Toyota is moving, yes, but itsfootprint on this region isn’t go-ing anywhere. The company andits employees have been a verygood neighbor to many.

For CHNK, an agency devotedto treating abused, neglected andat-risk youth in both community-and residential-based lines of

care, Toyota hasbeenmore thana neighbor; it’sbeen a commu-nity partner.

Not only didToyota presentus with a majorgift after the2010 break-in,but its employ-ees have alsodonated newbikes and per-

sonal care items for our youth inresidence, as well as coordinatedactivities on campus for them.Toyota has served as a communi-cations sponsor for CHNK since2011, and it has been a long-run-ning sponsor of our Junior BoardCharity Ball, which raises fundsfor our residential treatmentprogram. In addition, Carrollserves on our Board of Trustees.

These contributions fromToyota help us to continue toachieve our mission of providingchildren and families with oppor-tunity and hope for better lives.

When companies like Toyotainvest in us, we’re able to bring tothe community healthier kidswho can grow to become contrib-utingmembers of society andhealthy, loving adults.

This life-changing work atCHNKmeans not only happierandmore fulfilled human beingsbut also fewer public funds goingtoward unpopular items such asincarceration, court involvement,and juvenile detention.

Toyota and its employees trulyimmersed themselves into thefabric of the Northern Kentuckycommunity while they were here.They will be missed, but theirinvestment in our communitywill bear fruit long after thecompany has relocated to its newhome.

Thank you, Toyota, for build-ing bridges to better futures withChildren’s Home of NorthernKentucky.

Rick Wurth is chief executiveofficer for Children’s Home of Northern

Kentucky.

Toyota’s investment in N. Ky.will continue to bear fruit

Did you know that any time achild uses a paintbrush, thatchild is bettering our communi-ty?

Why? Because studies haveshown that the arts are neces-sary for a healthy, vibrant, well-developed economy; for thedevelopment of a “whole per-son;” and for successful schools.In recent years the conversa-tion surrounding the arts hasshifted. The arts are no longernice, they are necessary.

This is the message I want toshare as our community startsthinking about the future ofNorthern Kentucky. This is themessage I hope you will consid-er as you participate in myNKY(www.mynky.org), the commu-nity visioning campaign cur-rently underway that will helpdetermine the priorities forNorthern Kentucky’s next stra-tegic plan.

We need to reiterate to com-munity leaders that the arts,and arts organizations, play anessential role in our region mov-ing forward. The arts enhanceour communities and lead to thedevelopment of citizens whovalue creativity and entrepre-neurship.

In Northern Kentucky, one ofthose arts organizations is TheCarnegie. The Carnegie hasbeen operating at the corner of

Scott and Rob-bins, the heartof Covington,since the 1970s.Over the yearsit has evolvedfrom a grass-roots, volun-teer-run or-ganization intoa leader andchampion forthe arts inNorthern Ken-

tucky.The growth of The Carnegie’s

programs and its commitmentto Northern Kentucky have ledto a reinvestment of more than$8 million into its campus,bringing vibrancy to an areaonce experiencing urban decay.The Carnegie is not only in-vesting in itself, but in the com-munity in which it resides. Withthis reinvestment, the commu-nity surrounding The Carnegiehas also begun to blossom. Fromthe redevelopment of River’sEdge at Eastside Pointe to HotelCovington to the Hellman Lum-ber Building.

According to a recent survey,on average one-third of Car-negie patrons spend an averageof $75 dining out locally beforeor after a Carnegie event.Roughly 400 patrons attend thegalleries on a Friday night,

meaning more than $9,000 isbeing spent in our communitydirectly because of the arts.

In addition to financial im-pact of the arts on the region,the arts also play a critical rolein the development of our chil-dren. Studies show involvementand exposure to the arts im-proves critical thinking andcreativity, helps increase self-esteem, and has a positive im-pact on student achievement.More specifically, the arts buildflexibility for responding toquestions that have no single,standard answer. “Thinkingoutside the box” is real and itcomes from having access tocreative thinking.

Visiting myNKY.org andlending your opinion and yourvoice will affect the direction ofthe next strategic plan, whichguides lawmakers and commu-nity movers and shakers when itcomes time to invest publicfunds. When you do visit myN-KY.org to weigh in, I hope youwill think about the arts, theimpact they have had on yourown life, and the important rolethe arts play in making the com-munities of Northern Kentuckymore vibrant and developed.

Katie Brass is executive director ofThe Carnegie.

The arts aren’t just nice tohave, they are necessary

Noah Halpin’s fish pole bentdown toward the water and thebobber disappeared beneaththe surface.

The13-year old boy had beenpatiently waiting in his wheel-chair, but now he was excited –he’d finally caught a fish. Hesmiled as volunteerChetHayesreeled in the line and swung thefish closer to him.

His mother, Mary Pat, guid-edhishandsohecouldtouchthefish with his index finger, thenthey both broke out laughing.

This wasn’t just any fishingouting for the family fromBur-

On May 10 about 40 partici-pants crowded around thebanks of Boone Lake in Walton.

This year’s event was spon-sored by the Fifth District Fed-eration of Kentucky Sports-men.

“We’vebeen cominghere forabout three or four years,” Ma-ry Pat Halpin said. “The volun-teers are awesome. They put ontheworms and take off the fish.We hold the pole!”

About 50 volunteers were onhand to help.

There were many prizes tobe won, including those for big-gest fish, the most caught, andmost unusual.

“Everybody gets some-thing,” said volunteer LedfordCole of Independence. Cole hasbeen with the derby from thebeginning.

There are no age limits inSpecial Olympics, organizerCindy Goetz explained. “So wehave kids and adults, from theages of 4 to 47.”

AngieReedofEdgewoodandher family have come to theevent for the past five years.“It’s a great opportunity forher,” she said as she watchedher 13-year-old daughter Cait-lin. “She lovesmeeting people.”

“It’s fun to catch fish,” Cait-lin shared.

“It gets us together,” hermother added. “And everyoneis a winner.”

BAPTIST

Gosh, how time flies.Seems like it was justyesterday when my boyswere little and my hus-band, Frank, answeredthis way when I askedhim what he wanted for

Father’sDay.

“No pre-sents, justsomethingfrom thegrill andsomepeace andquiet.”

I have tolaughwhen I re-

call how the food wasnever a problem, but thepeace and quiet surewas.Dad’s day is a good timeto celebrate all the dadsinyour life, both onesyouare related to and thoseyou are not. And if you’renervous about feedinghima feast from the grill,here are some basics tomake you a grill master!

Grilling basics 101:Clean that grill: A

long-handled, stiff brushworks well. Use it twice:when grate is preheatedbut before the food goeson and again after you’redone cooking, while it’sstill hot.

Oiling the grate:Bestto do when grill is hot.Make a small pad out of apaper towel and dip itinto oil, then rub it withlong-handled tongs overbars of grate. This alsohelps clean off debris. Ifyou want to spray, takethe grate off the grillaway from the fire. Nev-er spray oil onto grateover the fire.

Wood chips: Theseadd distinctive flavors,and should be soaked inwater about 30 minutesbefore grilling. I like tosoak chips in wine andherbs. Just drain themwell and wrap in a foilpacket. Poke holes in toponly and place among thecoals or rocks.

Have on hand: Thickgrill gloves, ovenmitts orpotholders, apron andtowels.

Salt it down: A box ofcoarse salt is a must tohave for sprinkling overa grease fire.

Don’t know a rub froma mop?

Rub: A “dry” mari-nade – a mixture of driedseasonings rubbed di-

rectly onto surface ofmeat. Adds intense fla-vor and coating forms aseal. Let rubbed meatsstand for 30 minutes be-fore cooking to allow sea-sonings to penetrate.

Mop: This comes fromthe tool used to dab sauceon barbecued meats. Itlooks just like a little cot-ton “mop” on the end andis used insteadof abrush.

Marinade: Meats areput into seasoned liquids,which enhance flavorand tenderize. Mari-nades moisten surface ofmeat so it doesn’t dry outover hot coals.

Glaze: A thin type ofsauce that is usuallyglossy when brushed onfoods, sometimes duringthe last five minutes ofgrilling, and the glaze re-mains glossy after cook-ing.

Grilled steak withgarlic and thymerub

What cut to use? Flatiron is part of the chuckso it has great beefy fla-vor and is almost as ten-der as tenderloin. Origi-nally, skirt steak was cutto be used in fajitas andhas a bit more fat thanthe hanger or flank.Flank works well heretoo. My favorites are flat

iron and flank. Servewith a side of grilledthick-sliced potatoes.

For each steak (1-1/2pounds approximately)

Combine withenough olive oil tomake a pasty rub:

2 teaspoons choppedfresh thyme or 1 tea-spoon dried thymeleaves

2 teaspoons garlic1/2 teaspoon pepper

and 1 teaspoon saltFor sprinkling on im-

mediately after grilling:Romano cheese andchopped parsley

Score steak on bothsides. Rub seasoning on-to steak onboth sides. Letsit about 30 minutes.Place on hot grill andgrill untilmediumrare tomedium, turning once.Remove and sprinklewith cheese. Let rest,tented, 5 minutes or soand slice thinly againstgrain.

Chipotle butterMix together and then

roll into a log and place inrefrigerator or freezer.This is so delicious on topof a plain grilled steak.

1/2 cup unsalted but-ter, completely soft-ened

Canned chipotle chil-ies in adobo, stemmed,seeded and minced – to

taste2 tablespoons lime

juiceScant teaspoon

ground cuminSalt to taste.

It is suggested thatconsuming more foodsthat are high in ome-ga-3s, particularly eico-sapentaenoic acid (EPA)and docosahexaenoicacid (DHA), is benefi-cial to health, evenwhenyou’re pregnant orbreastfeeding.

Cold water fish, suchassalmon,tunaand sar-dines,are therichestsourcesof EPAandDHA.Theseome-

ga-3s may potentiallyreduce the risk of pre-mature delivery and im-prove brain and visiondevelopment in the ba-by.

Studies have alsoshown that higher con-sumption of omega-3smay reduce the risk ofallergies in infants andlower the mother’s riskfor depression.

Omega-3s are also

used after birth to makebreast milk.

Our friends at theAcademy of Nutritionand Dietetics and theAmerican College ofObstetrics andGynecol-ogy remind us thatwomen who are preg-nant should eat 8 to 12ounces of fish and sea-food a week to help getan adequate amount ofEPA and DHA for theirbabies.

Women often shyaway from fish duringpregnancy due to con-cerns about contami-nants, especiallymercu-ry.

Recent informationreleased in the Ameri-can Journal of Preven-tive Medicine says thatno one should cut fishout of their diet alto-gether as it contains toomany healthy nutrientsessential for growth anddevelopment.

Check out useful tipsfrom americanpregnan-cy.org, as well as ea-tright.org.
