BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS

Forest Park cancels ReCharge run By Jennie Key

Teen wins national video competition By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com

Colerain Twp. — Marley Mol-

kentin is a wizard at video. She loves video production and it shows in her work. She’s good. And she’s not the one saying it. The 15-year-old sophomore at St. Ursula Academy just won the national Teens Take on Health Video Challenge, sponsored by 4H and Molina Healthcare and received the grand prize award for her video “Solving Food Deserts.” The Colerain Township teen, daughter of Jeff and Stephanie Molkentin, was a student at St. Vivian School before moving on to St. Ursula for high school. Marley says she has been working with video production at school and really enjoys it. Her health teacher, Mary Porter, saw information about the contest and passed it along. Marley said she was looking for something different and chose food deserts after hearing about the challenges some families have to get access to healthy food. She learned about food deserts from her mom, who is a social worker for a home health care service. The video addresses the need for more community gardens to be developed in areas where residents lack access to healthy food choices at local stores and instead rely on fast food markets and gasoline stations for what they eat. “Not a lot of people know what a food desert is,” she said. “After learning about the problem, I am suggesting community gardens as part of the

FOREST PARK — The city is canceling its annual Forest Park ReCharge Run to Fight Childhood and Adult Obesity Within the Community due to a lack of registrations. Taffy Jackson-Fambro, the city’s recreation coordinator, says this is the second year the race has been canceled. She says the event, which featured a 10K/5K run, a 5K fitness walk and a kids fun run, had been a tradition in the community for more than 30 years. “I really don’t know why participation levels have been so

solution. I know they are not the only answer, but they can definitely help. I hope the video starts to make people aware of the problem.” Marley said she borrowed equipment from school, because she wanted the video to be as professional as possible. It was a lot of work: she visited three local community gardens: Gabriel’s Place, Gorman Heritage Farm, and Permaganic Co. Mom Stephanie was a big help; “She did a lot of driving,” Marley said. In fact, the video became something of a family affair as the garden visits began. Even 11-year-old brother Ryan tagged along as Marley filmed. “We found all of these gardens in our backyard, so to speak,” Stephanie said. “Once Marley started researching, she found a lot of community gardens in this area. It was surprising. We are very proud of her and the work she has done.” Finding the gardens and getting video was only the first

step. She had to compress months of work and hours of footage into a 90-second video. You can see Marley’s video at bit.ly/4Hvideo. Marley was pleased with her entry. “I knew it was good work,” she said. “But I had no idea if it was good enough to win.” She submitted it, and then the wait began. Marley checked the submissions as they showed up on the contest website. And the contest kept extending the deadline, prolonging her wait. “I thought I had a good chance,” she said. “But you don’t know.” As the deadline to submit passed, she began to check the site for information. Because the contest entries were voted on, she networked, contacting everyone she knew and then through those people, a lot of people she didn’t know, asking for their votes for her work. The wait continued. Ironically, the email informing her of her grand prize status went into her spam box,

low,” she said. “Neighboring communities have these events, and they seem to do fine.” She said she has heard that the time of year is not the best for a race, and there is a lot more competition with walks and runs being established in other communities. Jackson-Fambro said she has seven registrations to date, and is canceling the event now, because the event is a lot of work and the cost of overtime for city workers is too high. “It’s disappointing,” she said. “We have time now to reexamine the event and see what changes we want to make for next year.”

NCH law director asked to sue city, mayor Claims mayor falsified records; mayor says ‘nothing wrong’ By Monica Boylson hilltoppress@communitypress.com

North College Hill — Lawyer

Christopher Finney wants city’s law director to the sue the city for actions taken by the mayor to allegedly falsifying information sent to the Ohio’s Retirement System (OPERS). According to a July 12 letter sent from Finney, representing his client resident Nick Link, to law director William Deters, Mayor Dan Brooks directed the finance director to report both the salaries of Linda and Mark Fitzgerald, a city-employed married couple, as Mark Fitzgerald’s salary “in order to boost Mr. Fitzgerald’s eventual pension benefit check.” Linda Fitzgerald has served as the economic development director since 2006 and was contracted by the city through LSR Consultants LLC, making $41,000 per year. Her husband Mark Fitzgerald was also contracted by the city through the same company in 2009 to serve as the city administrator, making $84,000 per year. On Dec. 28, 2011, Brooks wrote a letter to council saying he wished to eliminate the cou-

ple’s contracts and “combine both positions into the city administrator under employee status.” The letter continues: “The purpose is threefold: it is my desire to solidify and further stabilize the financial future for our city; I want to secure the intensity of the concentration on both business and residential development and redevelopment; and I want to compensate Linda and Mark for their excellent efforts over the previous seven years while minimizing the added cost to the city in the future.” The two agreed to freeze their salaries for four years, through 2015, and the mayor said the only additional cost incurred by the city would be the employers share of the OPERS. Council passed the ordinance, labeled 11-2012, with a 5-2 vote. Voting no were council members Patrick Hartzel and Renee Stiles. The ordinance returned money from the economic development contract, which See NCH, Page A2 Vol. 76 No. 24 © 2013 The Community Press ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Winton Woods schools get out early on Wednesdays Improvements to professional development throughout Winton Woods City Schools mean students will have a onehour early release day on Wednesdays for the 20132014 school year. “We will maintain the two professional days within the calendar year in October and January, as well as the two days we currently have before school begins,” said Terri Socol, executive director of teaching and learning.

“We will not be requesting waiver days for 20132014 but will be moving to a one-hour early release schedule every Wednesday instead.” Socol said professional development will focus on teacher immersion and planning for the Common Core standards in math and reading and the Ohio Revised Standards in social studies and science. The new schedule will allow teacher based teams to

meet on a regular basis and will allow schools to develop a modified schedule where core content is reduced by only a small amount each Wednesday versus losing an entire four days of instruction on waiver days. There will be no early release during the following short school weeks: » first week of school, » week of October 18, » week of Thanksgiving,

» week prior to winter break , » week of Jan. 6, » week of Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, » week of Presidents Day, » week prior to spring break, » last week of school due to exams . The Winton Woods Board of Education approved the changes to professional development at its April 22 meeting.

was $15,850. The mayor said despite having to pay the additional cost, the city was still saving money. “We’re still paying less than we were for the previous administrator. We’re saving about $5,500 a year,” Brooks said. “It was a way to stabilize the salaries and expenses for the city.” Brooks said he consulted the finance director at the time, Mark Basil, who agreed with the proposal. “There’s absolutely nothing wrong with it,”

Brooks said. But Link seems to think it’s a problem. “I deplore the idea that the pension is defrauded,” he said. “I would be happy not to be involved in a lawsuit, as long as the fraud was corrected by (the city).” Finney said Deters has three options. “He can either sue the city himself, he can write us a letter saying he’s not going to sue and that we can sue or he can just ignore us and not write back,” he said.

Several calls to Deters were not returned before deadline. According to Finney, Deters has not responded to the letter. Finney said that if Deters does not sue or instruct him and his client that they can, Deters and Link can wait a reasonable amount of time and file suit. “It’s unfortunate that somebody would attempt to take advantage of their power and the taxpayers in this way,” Finney said. “This is clearly illegal and needs to be corrected.”

The two salaries were combined in one. The ordinance showed additional funds the city incurred for OPERS after combining the salaries

Vivian’s Victory walk 5K is Aug 15 By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress

WHITE OAK — A local family is hoping a walk in the park can help ease the pain of parents of infants with severe medical issues. Vivian’s Victory, a 5K walk and family picnic fundraiser benefits a non-profit called 1heart2souls that raises awareness and support for families with poor prenatal diagnosis. Vivian’s Victory began in 2012 as a way to help Rod and Maria Dunlap, and their daughter, Vivian, who had been diagnosed in the womb with a congenital heart defect called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome.

Vivian was born on July 24, 2012, and died at 59 days of age. After the White Oak couple learned at the baby’s 20-week ultrasound that their first daughter, Vivian, had a very serious heart defect, Maria says her sister Clare decided to do something to help. For her senior capstone project at Mount Notre Dame High School, Clare Lees partnered with 1hear2souls to create a walk to help raise awareness of the syndrome and to raise money for the medical costs Maria and Rod would face. Learn about the organization here. After Vivian was born, Maria said she and her

husband learned the baby had a bigger chromosomal problem, called Turner Syndrome. The proceeds of Vivian’s Victory 2012 went toward helping the Dunlaps. To honor Vivian’s memory, the Vivian’s Victory 2013 was created so that other families can receive this same support. “To continue the legacy of love she started in this world, we are continuing to have the walk annually to help families like us,” she said. The 2013 walk is Satur-

Will a new building bring a new sense of excitement to the Falcons and coach Edna Gibbs after a 2-14 season in 2012? According to coach Gibbs it will. “We are in a new building with a new attitude and are ready to hit the ground running,” she said. “We are still rebuilding but are excited to start seventh- and eighth-grade programs along with a junior varsity team.” Leading the Falcons in 2013 who are back in College Hill after two years on Baltimore Ave. in Westwood - and returning for Gibbs is senior Linda Huff along with juniors Star Wright and Tasha Thomas. Thomas was a Cincinnati Metro Athletic Conference Honorable Mention selection last season. The Falcons open the season Aug. 22 at Winton Woods.

era. “We are looking to take the current seniors and help them set a new standard and raise the bar for future success in this sport,” the coach said. Hart is hoping her new tactics and philosophies can help the Wildcats to their first winning season since 2007. “We’ve had the most number of girls come out for this sport than I’ve seen in the past couple of years,” she said. “A lot of them attended (our summer camp) and we expect to have seven freshmen on the team.” The new era at Finneytown gets underway Aug. 22 at Summit Country Day.

CINCINNATI — Rarely in sport does a team’s season end in victory. Any team of note typically makes a tournament, with each gathering wrapping up with one championship trophy. In today’s competitive environment, a runner-up finish is nothing to be ashamed of; particularly when it comes in a national setting. Such was the case for the Cincinnati United Premier Gold U17 boys when they fell short 1-0 in overtime to the West Coast FC of California in the U.S. Youth Soccer National Championships on July 28. On a day featuring defense, one ball crossing the line determined glory for teams on opposite sides of the United States meeting in the middle in Overland Park, Kan. “The game was back-andforth,” coach Bobby Puppione said. “Both teams had chances to put some goals in the back of

the net and didn’t convert. Each team also had a goal that was called back.” When time had expired, the goose eggs on the scoreboard called for overtime in Overland Park. “They scored a little bit of a fluke goal, but a goal nonetheless,” Puppione said. “We were pushing forward and created quite a few chances during the overtime period. We just weren’t able to tie it up.” The West Coast squad used two goalkeepers, while CUP Gold used Cincinnati Country Day’s Wes Mink the whole match. Puppione estimates his squad got off 10 shots against the Californians. To make the championship match, CUP Gold won their pool play games against teams from Lehigh Valley (Pennsylvania), Santa Clara (California) and Waukesha (Wisconsin). In addition to being National Finalists, Cincinnati Country Day’s Jake Scheper and Mason’s Josh Grant were named to the “Best XI” for the event by

coaches. Other members of U17 squad were: Loveland’s Greg Bohn; Mason’s Jack Clark, Sam Conkright and Caleb Griffith; Clark Montessori’s Joe Gallagher; St. Xavier’s Austin Harrell; Summit Country Day’s Christian Hay; CCD’s Dominic Isadore; Turpin’s Josh McDaniel and Trevor Thompson; Milford’s Thomas Moore; and Hunter Stiger and Gabe Welp of Lakota West. CUP Gold’s fruitful season also featured a sixth-straight State Cup, a National League title, the Disney Showcase Championship, Midwest League title and the Region II Championship. “We’ve been to quite a few places and the team has had nothing but success,” Puppione said. “They just came up short on this one.” The coach now hands off the crew to their respective high schools. He looks forward to productive prep seasons for all. See SOCCER, Page A7

Things took a turn for the worse for the Mohawks before the season could even get started. Senior Makenzie McFelea – who was coach Ann Lyons’ No. 1 singles player heading into the season – went down with a torn ACL and meniscus. Add that to the fact the Mohawks graduated three of their top seven from a season ago, and Lyons is working with a young, inexperienced group in 2013. “We had 16 people try out,” the coach said. “Some played junior varsity last year and the

rest are new, beginner players so we are just in a rebuilding format.” Senior Alyssa Fulks joins doubles players Nicole Capodaglia and Megan Davish as the Mohawks lone returners from their 6-9 team a season ago. “You just look at the talent and the possibilities and what you know they can do and work with that,” Lyons said of working with an inexperienced group. “… You can always tell talent and if you have talent you can always work with it.”

The Spartans are coached by Fred Widmeyer and are coming off a 2-11season in 2012. No other information was available before press deadline.

Things are looking up for coach Charles Chapman and the Warriors. After starting a feeder program when he took over the program three years ago, Chapman had five freshmen show up at conditioning includ-

ing Jayln Hill. Hill – who picked up a racket for the first time last fall – is challenging for a top singles with the Warriors. “Right now she is pushing people that have been in the No. 1 and 2 positions for a while,” Chapman said. “… She’s not intimidated with hard shots, she just stays with what she does and her shots look good.” Juniors Tysha Morris and Elisa Taylor are hoping to hold off the fast-rising freshman and hold down those top singles positions. Taylor is a team captain and entering her third year with varsity, while Morris is entering her second year on the team. First-year junior Jasmine Edwards is another one challenging for playing time in singles action. According to Chapman, if she doesn’t make the singles cut, she will be with the No. 1 doubles team. Her little sister, who is a freshman, is another young player Chapman is hoping to groom over her career. The Warriors start their season on the road against Princeton Aug. 12.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Important for women

Thank you for publishing this guest column (by Judge Brad Greenberg); it is important for more women to feel empowered and confident about reporting, continuing with the process, and accepting support from Women Helping Women.

Otherwise, this creates a vicious cycle of decreased credibility, and the abuser becomes more bold in feeling that he can do anything to the victim, and no one will believe a word she says. It is essential for women, especially mothers of young children, to continue to cooperate, file reports, and feel confident

about their intuition; it is essential to appear, and failure to appear in court along with the advocate is giving the perpetrator free reign to continue. Women need to feel that they are more important than the financial support, companionship, or continued relationship with a man who has degraded, disgraced, and de-

meaned them.The lack of physical injuries and documented proof does not make the mental and emotional impact any easier; however, following through is essential in order to stop the violence and free yourself. True, many times, programs like AMEND and other anger management type required classes are not successful, and

the perpetrator returns to his old ways of bad behavior behind closed doors. This is exactly why women need to have a zero tolerance attitude for abuse of an type; physical, mental, emotional, and/or sexual.

Focus on what you can provide Caring for an aging loved one can be very rewarding, but also very challenging. What’s concerning for family caregivers is that the pressure resulting from caregiving responsibilities can cause a potentially dangerous condition called caregiver distress. Studies increasingly point to caregiving as a leading stressor for families. In fact, one U.S. study revealed that more than half (52.8 percent) of those caring for individuals with diseases including cancer or Alzheimer’s had scores indicating depression. Caregiver distress also can lead to heart disease, diabetes, depression and other physical and emotion risks. For instance, approximately 74 percent of caregivers who hide their feelings report fatigue, 53 percent report

difficulty sleeping, 37 percent report depression, and 30 percent weight gain or loss. Research shows that Deborah certain charRonson COMMUNITY PRESS acteristics make family GUEST COLUMNIST caregivers more vulnerable to caregiver distress, the top being: » Gender: Women report more psychological distress than men (however, male caregivers have more negative physiological responses to caregiving, including higher blood sugar and insulin levels, poorer cholesterol and immune function, and obesity). » Reluctance to ask for help: Caregivers who won’t

ask for help are setting themselves up for the kind of exhaustion that can lead to distress. » Chronic illness: Caregivers who are already sick or have existing medical conditions, such as coronary disease, hypertension and cancer, are more vulnerable to additional negative health effects resulting from caregiver stress. I find that with many of our clients’ families where a loved one is the primary caregiver, they fall into the trap of believing that they have to do everything themselves. My advice is, don’t fall into that mindset. Take advantage of the many resources and tools available to help you provide care for your loved one. It’s so important for caregivers to understand that stress can impact one’s abil-

Consider who ask for foundation estimate f you are a homeowner that has foundation cracks or basement seepage, whom should you call? A contractor or a structural engineer? Contractors will typically give you a free estimate. This is their opinion of what might be the cause of your home’s condition. In reality, it is only a description of work the contractor promises to provide. The term free is always inviting and since the foundation repair contractor is in this business, the sales person is assumed to understand the cause and solution. Multiple contractors with similar solutions or proposals may still be the wrong repair. If you listen to radio announcers, they will always recommend contractors, even to family and friends. Listeners may believe, since the radio personality appears to be honest and knowledgeable, the contractor can be presumed to be knowledgeable, fair and honest. Radio personalities get paid for the use of their name. Also, a contractor’s opinions of how to repair your home’s issues might change depending on their workload. If their backlog of work is light, they will try harder to get your project, which may mean they have more inventive (and expensive) solutions to share with you. The contractor should only be recognized as an expert in his product and its installation. This doesn’t mean his installation will solve your home’s problem, but will pro-

vide a bill that you will have to pay. A property owner that pays a contractor thousands of dolMichael lars and does Montgomery not get the COMMUNITY PRESS right solution GUEST COLUMNIST is out a lot of money. Even $500 for the wrong repair is expensive, especially in today’s economy. I know that several homeowners are afraid to call an engineer to find out the problem if one really does exist. We have several contractors that will suggest a client to schedule an appointment with us and never do. Some feel the contractor should understand the problem; some are only looking for a free estimate, others are afraid to call. I have a difficult time understanding why a homeowner will risk several thousand dollars without getting a professional opinion or design plan. No one would build a house without a design plan. Several years ago, a condominium association almost wrote a check for $118,000 to repairs cracks, but after talking to us, they spent less than $1,000 to repair the problem. Another homeowner called our firm recently because he had hired a contractor for repairs several years ago that didn’t fix the problem. Recently, a 75-year-old widow had $11,000 and $30,000 bids

for foundation repairs from reputable firms because she had cracks in her hallway, no foundation cracks and only a hairline wide brick crack. None of her home’s issues actually required a foundation repair. She asked to give me a hug. These are just a few examples of many I could share. For a minimal inspection fee, an engineer can inform you if there is really a concern. If repairs are suggested, an engineering design plan can be provided that several contractors can bid from and get a building permit if appropriate. You will also have a record of the necessary repairs, instead of a written estimate or a sketch with x’s and lines. Look for an engineer that will take the time to fully explain the problem, discuss options for repairs and willing to provide a design plan. The engineer is working for the good of your home. Don’t be over-sold or pressured. Some contractors are very high pressure and are probably offering a high bid proposal. If an engineer’s opinion seems excessive or not logical, it may well worth getting a second engineer’s opinion. No one wants to spend thousands for the wrong type of work.

ity to care. If they don’t care for themselves, they may put their senior loved ones at risk. Whether it’s joining support groups, employing stress management techniques or acquiring respite help, caregivers need to realize the importance of managing their health, too. The first step for some family caregivers is to recognize that they are indeed caregivers. Whether they are caring for a spouse or a parent, caregivers need to know their role and their potential risk. As a caregiver, you should focus on what you are able to provide. Don’t give into guilt. Guilt is normal; however, you must remember that no one is perfect and you are doing your best for your loved one. Remember that stress has less negative effect on you

when you recognize what you are feeling and accept those feelings. One tool, called Are You a Caregiver Quiz, is designed to help a family caregiver identify and recognize his or her role as a caregiver. Another tool, the Family Caregiver Distress Assessment, allows those caregivers to determine their risk for distress and resulting emotional and physical issues, including depression, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity.

The code of the west Recent incidents, including legal proceedings involving gun killings, have reminded me of the Code of the West, perhaps better remembered as the Cowboy’s Code of Conduct. Back in the days when the nation was a youth and in places where rattlesnakes Charleston abounded on C.K. Wang the trail, our COMMUNITY PRESS hardy forefaGUEST COLUMNIST thers lived and died by this code. Some of us can only remember the gunslinger’s law which says “shoot first and ask questions later.” This quip is a gross oversimplification of a complex situation. For instance the code says that when a stranger wanders into camp, one must provide him with a meal and drink. Further one must not ask about the stranger’s background and certainly never insult his mother. Otherwise he is liable to draw his six shooter. At that point and if he does, then one may shoot first and ask the hard questions later. Today 30 states of the Union have “stand your ground” statutes, and the rest will debate whether to have one. Only last week a bill was introduced into the Ohio legislature to allow concealed carry of firearms into public places such as churches, day cares, and government buildings.

Are we reverting to a nation of gunslingers who in days long gone wore six-guns out of necessity, but always openly and with an honor code? Are we reverting to a nation of gunslingers who in days long gone wore six-guns out of necessity, but always openly and with an honor code on their use? Are our communities so broken and the citizens so overwrought with fear of assault that we must live by the point of our gun because that is the only law that the outlaw understands? Before the invention of “stand your ground,” our common law required a man to retreat from an assault before one is justified in shooting the assailant. A finer point of common law, now apparently forgotten, is that a man claiming self defense cannot be the one who initiates a confrontation. I can write about the Code of the West with trepidation and also with some fond admiration because under that code, the good cowboy must never gun down an unarmed man and certainly never ever a woman or child.

Grant lets Literacy Net offer additional program

Thanks to Dollar General’s generosity, the Literacy Network’s summer adult literacy class works on improving their reading skills by using a fun activity decorating cupcakes for the Fourth of July. From left are Trinity Johnson, Charles McClellan, Instructor Jane Shulman, and Djime Cissoko. PROVIDED.

The Literacy Network of Greater Cincinnati received a $13,000 grant from the Dollar General Literacy Foundation to support its Adult Literacy Services Program, which helps adult students improve their lives by learning how to read. “We are extremely grateful to Dollar General for their generous support to help more adults in Greater Cincinnati reach their goals,” says Literacy Network President Kathy Ciarla. This grant has allowed the Literacy Network to offer an additional adult reading class this summer.

Adult Basic Reading classes use the OrtonGillingham multi-sensory approach to help adults who read below a fourth-grade level and often exhibit symptoms of dyslexia. In 2012, the Adult Basic Reading

Program served 76 adults in five classes. For more information on the Dollar General Literacy Foundation, a complete list of grant recipients or grant application deadline information, visit

www.dgliteracy.org. For more information on how you can give the gift of literacy to struggling adults and children in the Greater Cincinnati area, call 513-621READ or visit www.lngc.org.

B4 • HILLTOP PRESS • AUGUST 7, 2013

Garden harvest makes for good baked breads like the two recipes I’m sharing today. Both are in my Recipe Hall of Fame. Requests for cucumber recipes were slightly behind the zucchini inquiries. I always think of my German mother-inlaw, Clara, when I make my version of her marinated cucumbers with fresh dill from my garden.

I can tell what’s going on, food wise, from my readers simply by the requests sent in. This week zucchini and cucumbers dominated. Apparently everybody’s zucchini is producing Rita nonstop, Heikenfeld just like RITA’S KITCHEN mine. I like the fact that our Community Press family wants to find ways to use this summer veggie. Most of the requests were for zucchini bread recipes. Zucchini bread freezes well and is pretty easy to make. And the variations are endless,

Classic marinated cucumbers/aka German cucumbers with vinegar and sugar

Feel free to add sliced onions when adding dressing, like Clara did.

Put cucumbers in colander and sprinkle with salt. Let sit 20 minutes, stirring now and then. Drain and pat dry. Pour dressing over. Stir and put in frig to chill a couple of hours or overnight.

It’s a cross between a bread and a cake, so you decide what you want to call it. Try milk chocolate chips for a milder flavor.

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.

Preheat oven to 350. Spray 9 x 5 loaf pan. Set aside shredded zucchini. Whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and allspice. Set aside. Beat oil, sugars,

Don’t take it out of the oven too soon. I baked one pan 50 minutes – it looked great coming out of the oven, but it sunk in the middle when it cooled – a sure indication of underbaking.

Cucumbers and dill make for an excellent marinated salad.THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

Butterscotch zucchini bread

3 eggs 1 cup oil 2 teaspoons vanilla 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 to 2 teaspoons cinnamon 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 2 greased, floured, wax paper lined pans. Bake 1 hour at 350oF 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

Check out my blog for more zucchini bread recipes and how to freeze zucchini recipes. Readers want to know: How do you freeze zucchini? Shredded: I don’t peel mine, though colleague and professional baker and canner Cheryl Bullis does. I don’t blanch but do pack mine in a little more than 2 cup mea-

sures, since when you thaw it, you’ll lose volume as liquid drains out. Slices: Cut into slices, 1 ⁄4 to 1⁄2 inches thick. Blanch in boiling water for 3 minutes. You’ll want the water boiling and enough to cover the zucchini. You can blanch several batches in the same water; just add more water if necessary. Cool immediately after blanching in ice water, drain very well, and pack in freezer containers or freezer baggies. (One reader likes to lay the slices in a single layer and freeze hard, uncovered, and then pack into baggies). Smoosh out all air to prevent freezer burn. Do with a straw and just suck out air or lay bag flat, smoosh out air with your hands, and freeze. Frozen zucchini should be thawed slightly, not all the way, before using in cooked dishes.
