Isn’t it romantic?
Glendale’s Dick and Dorothy Slaughter are two of the nicest people you ever want to meet. They have been married for 62 years, and even though their first meeting was like something out of a 1940s romance movie, the marriage got off to a rather bumpy start. SEE LIFE, B1

Farm turns up heat – naturally
By Amanda Hopkins
ahopkins@communitypress.com
To jumpstart a new cooking curriculum, Jamie Clark is building a large cob oven at the farm. A cob oven is made of all natural materials including clay, dirt, sand and recycled bottles. Clark, a seasonal educator and sustainable living advocate for Gorman Heritage Farm, said the cob oven is highly efficient and the insulation with the sand and the recycled bottles keeps the heat inside and the oven hot for up to nine hours.
Clark said the cob oven will be used for the upcoming chef camp at Gorman Heritage Farm and for new classes Clark is working on to incorporate the use of the oven. The classes will include lessons on knife skills and cutting food, nutrition and baking food from the gardens at the farm. “(The oven will) show the connection between nature and food,” Clark said. Clark said she got the idea to build the cob oven from her experience working with an ecovillage near Chicago, where she taught

Clark said there will be a pizza party after the cob oven is complete. To volunteer, e-mail jclark@ gormanfarm.org.

Vitamin Shop healthy dose for Springdale By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
Springdale will add the Vitamin Shop to its retail family as work on the building at the corner of Kemper Road and Princeton Pike progresses almost daily toward an October opening. The development by Thompson Thrift is part of the city’s vision for the four-corner intersection anchored by Tri-County Mall. Ashlee Boyd of Thompson Thrift said the 3,500-square-foot building will be complete by October, and open for business by year’s end. “We went through a detailed plan that lives up to their standard for what they envisioned for that corner,” Boyd said of Springdale’s development plan. “From an architectural standpoint, it’s a significant improvement from what was there before,” he said of the vacant lot where a BP gas station once stood.

The Vitamin Shop will open at the corner of Kemper Road and Princeton Pike by year’s end. “Thompson Thrift has taken what has been a vacant lot at the corner of Main and Main streets, and they’re putting a very attractive building on it,” Jeff Tulloch, Springdale’s economic development director said of the pivotal corner.
“There is virtually no new development going on today due to financial and market conditions,” Tulloch said. “But here is an instance that a new retail project is under way and it’s happening in Springdale.” The project follows several
other openings in the area, such as Front Room Furniture at the site of the former Sofa Express, Woodcraft in the Princeton Towne Center and Morris Furniture near Dave and Busters. “We have in the neighborhood of 270,000 square feet of new retailers who have either opened already or in the course of the next several months,” Tulloch said. “Thompson Thrift is the bellwether for what’s happening in Springdale,” he said. Mayor Doyle Webster is enthused, citing other improvements to the Springdale business climate, such as the complete leasing of space in Pictoria Towers as well as other newcomers. Of the Vitamin Shop site, Webster said he hopes the surrounding area is developed, as well. “We would love to see that development be the springboard for other things to take place on that corner,” Webster said. “It looks pretty promising, and this is really good for the city.”

gency Management Agency is replacing 140 of the sirens on telephone poles and on top of buildings. She said they were installed in the 1950s and need replaced. The project is funded by a $2.1 million state homeland security gran`t and will be completed by the end of 2013. Schratt said the communities of Loveland and Harrison Township can set off their own sirens because of their close proximity to other counties. Reading and St. Bernard have not chosen to use the sirens on their own but Schratt said Harrison Township can use their sirens when severe weather is close to neighboring Dearborn County, Ind. She said Loveland started using the sirens after the 1999 tornadoes. She said city officials believed they did not have enough warning for their residents. Reading and St. Bernard also have the ability to set off the sirens, but have never used them. Test sirens are activated at noon on the first Wednesday of every month.

Business owners were offered food for thought during a recent Sharonville Chamber of Commerce luncheon that kicked off a new approach to an existing series. The chamber’s Business Enrichment Series, formerly called the Business Development Series, focuses on the things the city can do to help businesses. It offers information to businesses, and provides a networking forum for participants. During the June 22 event, panel members Michael Crowe, a loan officer with Hamilton County Development Co.; Patrick Longo, vice president and director of the Hamilton County Business Incubator,
Sharonville. “I learned so much about where to find money for businesses that I hadn’t known before,” said Rich Arnold, president of the Sharonville chamber, who has owned several businesses over the past 35 years. Among the questions they fielded were how to find capital in today’s business environment. Barry Carlson of Office Furniture Source, attended the luncheon. “Anybody that’s starting a business is a likely candidate for my business,” he said of the company that provides office furniture. “If I understand their needs, I can do my job better,” he said. The Business Enrichment Series will be held the fourth Thursday of each month, starting in August.

Monet’s Lane is once again part of Evendale’s 2010 road improvement project. Village council approved a resolution accepting a bid from John R. Jurgensen Co. for $282,497.50 for the construction on Monet’s Lane. Assistant to the mayor Jack Cameron said there is no grant money available for the project and all of the funding will come from the village’s general fund. Cameron said any road closures will affect residents only because the street is a cul-de-sac. “ As with any residential street project there is a certain amount of inconveniences,” Cameron said. “We do our best to communicate (to the residents) and have the contractor communicate what is going to happen and when.” Monet’s Lane was originally part of the road improvement project with Glendale Milford Road.

A cut and style had more impact than a typical haircut when a Glendale salon held an event to help clean up the oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico. Statements Salon offered discounted haircuts to patrons who donated pantyhose for the cleanup efforts. The pantyhose are being used as booms for hair that has also been collected at Statements, as well as many other salons across the country. Hair, which retains oil, was found to be a natural way to absorb the film covering the water after the BP oil spill.

Wyoming High School product Jon Edgington capped a successful junior season on the Miami University baseball team with one more honor as he was named to the Academic AllMid-American Conference baseball team. Edgington said the honor meant a lot to him and that applying himself in schoolmade him a stronger student. “I started to really apply myself more towards the end of high school and that carried over to college. In baseball they make it so you have all the resources you could need through the athletic program and that really helps you become successful.” Edgington has a 3.71 cumulative GPA and had a 3.97 GPA in the 2010 spring semester and was named the MAC’s male Scholar Athlete of the week for the week of May 3-9.

Metro softball tourney fast approaching By Anthony Amorini aamorini@communitypress.com

The 2010 event is officially dubbed the 58th Annual EMR Group/Ohio Army National Guard Amateur Softball Association Cincinnati Metro Championship. Cincinnati’s Metro has the impressive distinction of

The Metro’s two largest divisions, men’s level IV and level V, will continue using ‘Dual’ and ‘Quad’ formats with American and National brackets for level IV and American, National, East and West divisions for Level V.

“It’s awesome. They take care of the players and do a good job of letting you try different things,” he said. “They do a good job keeping your talent up and helping your game progress.”

Mitts, a Cincinnati native, played soccer at the University of Florida and for the U.S. Women’s National Team before joining the Women’s Professional Soccer league, where she currently plays for the Philadelphia Independence. At the free event, athletes had the chance to learn from Mitts on ways to become faster, stronger and more agile on the field.

Make sexting a crime, but not one that ruins lives Most children are much more technologically astute than their parents. And in today’s world of constant bombardment with images and innuendo, teenagers are using technology to tread on some dangerous ground. In recent years, a significant number of teens have sent or posted sexually suggestive photos of themselves. Thirty-three (33 percent) of teens surveyed by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy have engaged in the exchange of nude or semi-nude images. While teens say these images are most often directed towards a boyfriend or girlfriend, they also said that in some cases these
materials are exchanged with people they barely know or whom they meet online. M o r e o v e r, once transmitted, these photos are no longer private. State Rep. Nearly 40 of the Connie young adults Pillich have had sexually suggestive mateCommunity rial – that was Press guest meant for somecolumnist one else – shared with them. This has potentially damaging consequences, especially given the increasing popularity of smart
phones and social networking sites. Such wide distribution causes humiliation and often leads to aggressive bullying and other forms of harassment. Current law does not contemplate this behavior. Frustrated prosecutors have the option of charging teens with child pornography, a high level felony that could lead to life long registration as a sex offender. Is this behavior bad? Yes. Does it warrant lifelong registration as a sex offender? No. For this reason, I introduce House Bill 473, which creates the new offense of “sexting.” HB 473, which applies only to minors, classifies sending a nude photo of

Do you think weather warning sirens are effective? Why or why not? What changes would you make to the warning system? “I live in an area that has an effective system, for which I am extremely grateful. When I hear the siren I turn on the TV for updates and plan accordingly. “Some people complain that they hear sirens too frequently for storms that are not life-threatening. I prefer to err on safety’s side. S.J.P. “I do not believe they are very effective. I live relatively close to the siren near Wilson School and can hear it clearly when I am outdoors. “Inside is a different story. I am consistently surprised at how well my house dampens the sound. The same is true in a car. Even if I hear the siren, it does not tell me anything about the threat or where it is located. “I usually respond to the signs of threatening weather by checking my TV or the Internet. “I think the system of sirens is outmoded and a waste of money. In this day and age, you could send a text message to all the cell phone towers in the threat area and reach a lot more people with more accurate information. The siren system is a truly blunt instrument.” F.S.D. “The systems are pretty good, but they need a dose of human common sense also. “The warning for the wind storm of 2008 was pretty poor. Damage was occurring south and west of us in Louisville and Lexington, yet, even though this storm was heading our way we got little warning of its severity. “It seems pretty obvious to me that simple weather observation should have alerted NOAA and private forecasters of the danger. Granted, to have near hurricaneforce winds in this area is very unusual, but it seems to me that many folks were ‘asleep at the switch.’ “I know of a young boy who was severely injured by a falling tree. He still suffers from his injuries. It did not have to happen.” T.H. “Are weather warning sirens effective? Probably yes. “They certainly give more people a better chance of getting to shelter than they would have without them (as do the warnings on radio and TV). However, they don’t do much to minimize the

(Insurance ads used to try to avoid using the term ‘death,’ and instead used quotation marks around some euphemism. So my wife and I use the term ‘quote quote’ when we discuss this subject, to add a little humor.)” B.B. “Weather sirens have a limited effect. I often strain to hear them. Not very loud in a lot of places. “How to improve would be more such sirens. Used only when there is imminent danger. “More use of TV broadcasting with louder noises coming from the sets. Mandated that every broadcaster use that method including FM and AM radio. Interrupt the program and cease the broadcast of the program.” J.S.D. “Yes I do. The sirens are supposed to warn you in the event of a probable tornado, and they do sound when there is a tornado watch along with a severe thunderstorm warning.

Its purpose is to discourage the behavior and to protect minors from the damaging effects of having such photos distributed beyond their intended audience. The bill provides appropriate punishment while protecting children from the life-long sentence of being labeled as a sex offender.

For most families, the summer means fun and great family times. But for some, summer is also a difficult time as they put their lives together after the premature death of a child.

Know the differences between civil, criminal cases In Municipal Court, I preside over both civil and criminal cases. There are major differences between civil and criminal cases including different types of punishment, burdens of proof and rules of procedure. Civil cases usually involve private disputes between two or more parties. A civil case begins when a person or organization, such as a corporation, files a lawsuit against another person or organization. Examples of civil cases include personal injury and business disputes. A criminal case is a public action because the government prosecutes crimes on behalf of the public. The U.S. attorney prosecutes federal crimes while state crimes are prosecuted by the county prosecutor. In criminal cases a person found guilty can be punished by incarceration and even death. In most civil cases the losing party has to reimburse the winning
party. Because criminal defendants face greater penalties, criminal defendants have more rights and protections than a civil defendant. Judge Brad Most people Greenberg have heard the refrain “if you Community cannot afford to Press guest hire a lawyer, one columnist will be appointed to represent you.” Be assured, this does not apply to civil cases. Another difference is that in a criminal case a defendant has a constitutional right to remain silent and not incriminate himself. There is no such right in a civil case. In a civil case, the plaintiff can call the defendant as a witness in the trial. Plaintiffs in a civil lawsuit must prove the case by a preponderance
of the evidence (greater than 50 percent). In a criminal case the government must prove each element of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. Jurors in a criminal case must be “firmly convinced” of the truth of the charge. Jury trials are different depending on whether it is a civil or criminal case. In Ohio, civil cases have eight jurors. At least six of the eight jurors must agree to reach a verdict. Jurors in a civil case also determine the amount of damages, if any, to award to the winning party. In criminal cases, there are 12 jurors when the charge is a felony and eight jurors when the charge is a misdemeanor. In any criminal case, the jury’s verdict must be unanimous. Also, except for death penalty cases, the jury has no role in the sentencing of the defendant. Sentencing is left up to the discretion of the judge. Judge Brad Greenberg presides in Hamilton County Municipal Court.

Cathe Hosea of Miami Township is encouraging people to participate in the Spina Bifida Association of Cincinnati’s 10th annual Walk and Roll fundraiser in September. Here she is with her son, Kevin Hosea, who has spina bifida and graduated from Loveland High School and the University of Illinois.
Miami Township woman, son ready to ‘Walk and Roll’ By Jeanne Houck jhouck@communitypress.com
Twenty-five years ago, Cathe Hosea of Miami Township welcomed her son, Kevin, into the world. Twenty-four years ago, the Spina Bifida Association of Cincinnati welcomed Cathe Hosea into its midst. With the help of his mother, other family members and a dogged will to succeed, Kevin Hosea, who has spina bifida, graduated from Loveland High School in 2003 and the University of Illinois in 2008. Cathe Hosea is retiring from the Spina Bifida Association after years of serving on its board or running a committee for the board. On her way out, she’s urging people to support the 10th annual “Walk and Roll” Saturday, Sept. 25, at Miami Whitewater Forest in Whitewater Township. Hosea, 55, remembers when she and her husband, James, learned their son had the disability. “It was scary because we had never heard of spina bifida,” said Cathe Hosea, now a health aide at the Loveland Early Childhood Center. “I found out about the Spina Bifida Association of Cincinnati from a pediatrician and was recommended to attend a few meetings to learn. “I ended up joining the local board and was connected with the board for the past 24 years,” she said. Hosea said the family – which includes daughter Kristin, who graduated from Loveland High School in 1999 and is now 28 and living in Westmont, Ill. – encouraged Kevin Hosea to interact as much as possible with children in the neighborhood and his schools.
“We found out about sports through participation with Cincinnati Therapeutic Recreation, where he learned to swim,” Cathe Hosea said. “We supported and encouraged him to do as much as he could. “By participating in the Cincinnati Wheelchair Games when he was 6 years old, we learned about the Ohio Wheelchair games and national junior competitions. Kevin went on to participate in swimming, track, field and pentathlon at national and international levels through the age of 19. “He got a college scholarship to the University of Illinois for wheelchair track,” Cathe Hosea said. “He learned there is no limit to his abilities through adult mentors he met with his sports around the country. Sports also kept him strong for his 15 surgeries he had from birth to age 20.” Kevin Hosea lives in Wheaton, Ill., and works as an adaptive sports coordinator for the Western DuPage Special Recreation Association in Carol Stream, Ill. For information on attending the Spina Bifida Association of Cincinnati’s Walk and Roll or on making donations, visit sbacincy. org and click on the appropriate settings on the left side of the home page. “Supporting the Walk and Roll helps the local chapter offer support to parents with support groups and meetings,” Cathe Hosea said. “It allows us to offer scholarships for camps, swimming instruction and participation with activities through Cincinnati Therapeutic Recreation and to the National Spina Bifida Conference for families to acquire information on medical and education issues.”

DON’T MISS ty n u o C The Campbell
Moonlite romance still strong after 62 years Glendale’s Dick and Dorothy Slaughter are two of the nicest people you ever want to meet. They have been married for 62 years, and even though their first meeting was like something out of a 1940s romance movie, the marriage got off to a rather bumpy start. Dorothy was a friend of her brother’s wife, who set her up on a blind date with Dick at Moonlite Gardens in Coney Island. On the dance floor at a University of Cincinnati prom, Dick asked Dorothy to marry him and she said yes. On the way to Gatlinburg for their honeymoon, they ran out of money in Lexington and had to return home. Clearly, they didn’t consider this a bad omen, because 62 years later they are still together. Dorothy feels you have to put your mate’s needs first. Because they both do just that, they have a win, win bond that has lasted so long. Of Dorothy, Dick says, “She’s my life support system.” Dick served in World War II in the 264th Combat Engineers Battalion in Europe. More specifically, he served in General George S. Patton’s Third Army, going from England to France, inflating the pontoons used to cross the Rhine and Martell de Grier rivers. I couldn’t resist asking his opinion of the movie “Patton” starring George
C. Scott. Dick liked it, and felt Scott did a good job. He and Dorothy showed me the devastating photographs he took at the Buchenwald concencamp. The Evelyn tration smell of death is Perkins something he has Community never forgotten. To naysayers Dick Press declares, “I was columnist there. I know what happened!” He is very proud of Dorothy’s work in the Bureau of Personnel during the war. He spoke of her compassionate letters to casualty families. Perhaps I can convince her to consent to an interview. Dick called to say he enjoyed reading my article about the Cincinnati Civic Orchestra, and that he used to play with them. I asked for an interview, and he agreed. Born in Westwood, Dick began playing the violin in the third-grade at his mother’s urging. He also played in high school, but the bass was his instrument in the 36th Engineer Combat Group. He was drafted during his sophomore year in college. After the war, he continued his education and received a degree in aeronautical engineering at
the University of Cincinnati. Dick cooped at Stearns and Foster while still in college, began working there full time, and went on to become president. At one time, he was approached to write a book about the company, but refused because he wouldn’t tell their secrets. The Slaughters have survived their share of heartache. During their son’s final illness in California, Dick thought it would be a good idea to buy a violin for grandson, Brad, to take his mind off his father’s failing health. Brad now plays in his high school orchestra. Upon returning home, Dick was in Baroque’s Violin Shop, and someone suggested that he call conductor, Larry Bonhaus, who invited him to practice with the Cincinnati Civic Orchestra. Dick had no violin and wondered if he could still play. He sat next to Ed Howard at the second violin spot and discovered that he did indeed still have the touch. That began five years of performing with the orchestra, which Dorothy refers to as “fun, fun days.” They thoroughly enjoyed all the concerts and other musicians.

Volunteers help Wesley Community Services Wesley Community Services recently benefited from the volunteer services of one of the Summer of Service teams sent out into the community by the Vineyard Community Church, Sharonville. In spite of the heat, the team comprised of 12 students and two adult leaders helped improve the grounds of Wesley’s new facility in Price Hill. Stephen Smookler, Wesley executive director, said, “We feel privileged to be chosen as one of the sites for this year’s SOS outreach. The team did a great job clearing the grounds surrounding our building and we’re very grateful for all their hard work.”
Festival
Summer of Service is a week-long conference for middle school and high school students who want to make a real difference in their world. Its mantra is “small things done with great love will change the world.” Over the course of this week, about 1,100 students have gone on outreaches every day extending kindness and generosity to the people of Cincinnati. Their website, www.summerofservice.com, states, “Instead of just telling people about God’s love, we get creative in showing His love in practical ways.” This is the 19th year the Vineyard Community Church has sponsored the conference.
Wesley Community Services fosters and supports seniors seeking to remain in their home for as long as possible through the provision of essential home-based services including home cleaning services, meals-onwheels, specialized transportation and a pet portions program (free pet food for client pets) to more than 2,300 seniors and individuals with disabilities. Wesley Community Services is funded by the Council on Aging of Southwestern Ohio and is a United Way partner agency.

Some factors involved in becoming mature
Consider, “If you find that your challenges balloon out when you think they should be diminishing; if you feel too tired to get up again but realize that life never lets you down very long; if life is even less fair than they warned you it would be; well, you are probably quite healthy and normal.” So writes psychologist Dr. Eugene Kennedy. What he’s expressing are some of the elements involved in becoming mature. When we’re young we think that becoming mature means that troubles level off and we’re more in control of life. The truth is that the difference between an adolescent and a mature adult is not that the adult has fewer problems. Rather, it’s because the
adult – if he or she is actually becoming m o r e mature – becomes m o r e ccomFather Lou aplished in Guntzelman coping. Coping Perspectives means figuring out healthy ways of dealing with the problems of life rather than seeking escapes from them. Mature adults come to realize, at least in some subtle way, that how we handle our problems and pressures is what brings about maturation. It may sound paradoxical, but Carl Jung said, “Man needs difficulties; they are necessary for health.”
The Aztecs had a saying: “A boy remains a boy until there is need of a man.” The same for all of us. The vexation and pain of our own problems powerfully show us the need for a mature man or woman to be standing in our shoes. If we’re courageous, we rise to the occasion. If we’re wimpy we opt out with some excuse, get high, or get lost in the world of technology. The contradictions, pressures and inconsistencies of life are the midwives that give birth to many precious human qualities. Jung also noted, “The serious problems of life are never solved, and if they seem to have been solved, something humanly important has been lost.” Another important factor in becoming mature is
Playhouse holds children’s auditions The Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park will hold auditions Saturday, Aug. 7, for boys interested in performing two roles in the 2010-2011 production of “Over the Tavern.” “Over the Tavern” returns to the Marx Theatre Jan. 22 through Feb. 19 (opening night: Jan. 27). It will be presented as a coproduction with the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis, where it will run Dec. 1 through Dec. 26. Two area boys will be cast to fill the roles of Rudy, who is 12 years old; and his brother Georgie, a 13-yearold boy with mental disabil-
ities, described as sweet but with the mind of a 3- to 4year-old. The part of Rudy – and possibly the part of Georgie – will require a commitment to both the St. Louis and Cincinnati productions. Boys should submit a resume of any experience to the Playhouse, along with a photograph (a good quality school or family photo is acceptable). Boys auditioning for the part of Rudy will be asked to perform a couple of scenes from the play; boys auditioning to portray Georgie will perform a monologue.
Rehearsals for the St. Louis production begin Nov. 5; rehearsals for the Cincinnati production begin Jan. 14. Interested boys must be available for all performances of the show, which are scheduled Tuesdays through Sundays and include several weekday student and public matinees. Headshots and resumes should be sent to the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, ATTN: AUDITIONS, c/o Edward Stern, P.O. Box 6537, Cincinnati, OH 45206. To be considered, all photos and résumés must be received at the Playhouse by Friday, July 30.
learning how to balance. To be mature is not a matter of getting 100 on some kind of Life Test. It is rather a balancing of the demands of life so that A equals B equals C. These alphabet letters, of course, represent various ingredients of a healthy life which have to be integrated in a reasonably harmonious balance. What are the ingredients that need balancing? Aspects such as self and others, gratification and discipline, bodily needs and spiritual needs, intellect and emotions, action and reflection, self-assertion and respect for others and the demands of relationships.
The over-riding goal is to become more human. Do the young have a more rugged road? Is it more difficult for most people to mature today? Author Joseph Gallagher thinks so. He writes; “The pressure problem of many people today is the problem of toomuch-ness… Too much noise, too much news, too many distractions, too many meetings, too many memos, too many social obligations, too many expectations, etc.” These make it more difficult to cope in a healthy way. Some of us opt out of maturing by adopting the
pose of a martyr. We shirk our responsibilities, claim we haven’t had the right breaks, and say that our problems are always someone else’s fault. We need to roll up our sleeves and struggle with the inconsistencies of life, and listen to the advice of coach philosopher Lou Holtz: “Life is 10 percent what happens to you and 90 percent how you respond to it.” Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

Zucchini: The other green summertime vegetable Last week it was all about pickling cucumbers. This week the requests are pouring in for zucchini bread recipes. T h e ones I’m sharing today are in my Rita “ R e c i p e of Heikenfeld Hall Fame.” Rita’s kitchen These are the most requested, especially this time of year. The zucchini, like everything else in my garden, is a couple weeks early and I’m already picking every day. With county fairs coming up, I’ve had lots of requests for zucchini bread recipes that, as one reader said, “will win me that elusive ribbon.” One of the recipes I’m sharing today did just that: It won a blue ribbon for Susan Zugohoer, a Northern Kentucky reader.
LISA J. MAUCH/STAFF
My editor Lisa Mauch’s version of the recipe for chocolate zucchini bread/cake. She shared her recipe several years ago and it’s a popular one. How’s that for a testimonial?
Susan’s blue ribbon zucchini bread
3 cups finely grated zucchini (squeeze moisture out before measuring) 3 cups sugar 11⁄2 cups vegetable oil 4 eggs 3 cups flour 11⁄2 teaspoons cinnamon 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 ⁄2 teaspoon salt 1 cup chopped nuts Grease and flour 9-by-13 pan or 3 loaf pans. Mix zuc-
chini, sugar, oil and eggs. Beat two minutes. Combine dry ingredients. Add to mixture and blend well. Add nuts. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to one hour or until done. If desired, frost with cream cheese icing.
Chocolate zucchini bread/cake
It’s a cross between a bread and a cake, so either name is appropriate. This has become a favorite of everyone who has made it. 1
1 ⁄2 cups shredded zucchini (squeeze moisture out before measuring) 1 cup flour 1 ⁄2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 ⁄4 teaspoon baking powder 1 ⁄4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 ⁄4 teaspoon allspice 1 ⁄2 cup canola oil 1 ⁄2 cup sugar 1 ⁄2 cup light brown sugar
2 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla 3 ⁄4 to 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (mini chips are nice) Preheat oven to 350. Spray 9-by-5 loaf pan. Set aside shredded zucchini. Whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and allspice. Set aside. Beat oil, sugars, eggs, and vanilla until well blended, and fold in zucchini. Add flour mixture, mixing just until combined. Fold in chips. Bake until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 55 to 65 minutes. Place on wire rack to cool 10 minutes, then remove and finish cooling. Variation: These also are good made as muffins/cupcakes. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Check after 20 minutes.
Butterscotch zucchini bread
Don’t take it out of the oven too soon. I baked one pan for 50 minutes – it looked great coming out of the oven, but it sunk in the middle when it cooled, a sure indication of underbaking.
3 eggs 1 cup oil 2 teaspoons vanilla (I used 1 tablespoon) 2 cups sugar 2 cups grated zucchini (squeeze moisture out before measuring) 2 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 ⁄4 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 or 2 teaspoons cinnamon (I used 2) 1 ⁄2 teaspoon ginger 1 ⁄2 teaspoon nutmeg 1 ⁄2 cup rolled oats 1 package (3.4-ounce size) instant butterscotch pudding mix 1 cup nuts, raisins or
other dried fruit Beat eggs, oil, vanilla and sugar together well. Add zucchini. Then mix the flour and the rest of the dry ingredients together and then add to the egg mixture, blending well. Pour into two greased, floured, wax paper lined pans. Bake one hour at 350 degrees or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Lemon frosting
Mix and spread on bread after it cools. 2 cups confectioner’s sugar, sifted 2 tablespoons lemon juice 4 tablespoons butter, softened Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educator and author. E-mail columns@community press.com with “Rita’s kitchen” in the subject line. Call 513-2487130, ext. 356.
