The main entrance to thepark is on McMakin Street be-tween Perry Street and JosephStreet. The top level of theparkis the home of the MountHealthy Historical Society andthe Veterans Memorial. Thesecond level features the pool
and bathhouse, concessionstand, children’s playgroundand theGazebo,wheresummerconcerts take place.
The third level of the parkhas playing fields that manyadult and youth groups use for

$100,000 won’t stretch tocoverall that, so thecity’sgoingto approach park improve-ments in phases. The city willbuild the first nine-holes of themini golf course, some skatepark elements and widen ac-cess paths. The project will laythe groundwork for a stage/bandstand and other improve-ments the city hopes to do later.

White Oak residentsGeorgeandArleneRohrcele-brated 65 years of marriagein November.
While Arlene says there isno secret to marital success,the couple admits there are acouple of practices that havehelped their relationshipstand the ultimate test: thetest of time.
George and Arlene weremarried Nov. 20, 1948, at St.Margaret Mary Church inNorth College Hill, wherethey grew up.
They lived in thesame neighborhoodand went to thesame high school,but they didn’treally date untilafter Georgecame homefrom the ser-vice in 1946.They dated twoyears beforethey marriedand started theirfamily.
They have twosons, David andDale, who both livewithin a couplemiles oftheir parents’ home.Their have seven grandchil-dren and 19 great-grandchil-dren and also nearby and gettogether often to celebratebirthdays, holidays and otherfamily events.
George and Arlene saythat family time is one secretto a longandhappymarriage.
“We always did things as a
family,” he said. “We tookfamilyvacations togetherun-til the kids were grown. Welike spending time together.Our boys are close by and westill spend time together. Weare close-knit.”
That closeness pays divi-dends. When the couple cele-brated their anniversary atthe Clovernook Country Clubin November, their kids andgrandkids had gifts; gifts oftime and help.
“They gave us things like
‘I’llcome put your Christmaslights up,’” George said. “Do-ing things. That meant a lot.”
Another secret seems likea no-brainer. Find a past timeyou both enjoy. George andArlene say they were avid
golfers, sometimes planningtrips around their sport.
“We wintered for a num-berofyears inFloridaanden-joyed playing,” George said.
The last is easy to say, notalways easy to do: communi-cate. Arlene and George saythey don’t fight. They talk
through things together andmake decisions together.They are not distracted byelectronics: George says thecouple doesn’t have a com-puter although his sons andgrandkidshaveoffered togetone for them.
“I don’t see the need,” hesaid.
Despite their success, theRohrs say they don’t givemarriage advice to their kidsor grandkids. “It’s hard togive advice to young couplesnow,” Arlene said. “They livein a completely differentworld than the onewe startedout in.”

Members of the MountHealthy UnitedMethodistChurch are planning anevent that won’t causeheartache for those whoare alone.
“Oursocietyhas turnedValentine’sDay into a ‘feelrotten if you’re alone”event,’ MHUMC pastorRaponzilDrake said. “Andwe know, for a variety ofreasons, there are peoplewho are alone on this day.And they feel lonely andisolated.”
Drake says the Pairs &Spares Valentine Dinnerat her church is a way totell people they are neveralone.
“It’s away forus to lovepeople in our communityand show them God’s love
Valentine’s Day isn’thearts and flowers for ev-eryone.
for all humanity,” she said.Drake says it’s appro-
priate on this holiday.“One tradition holds
that St. Valentine was apriest who went againstthe law of the church andthe lawof thestate,byper-formingmarriages for thelower classes of Christianpeasants and farmers,”she said. “He brought peo-ple together.”
The pastor, who cameto thecongregation inSep-tember, says her churchwas brainstorming waysto get engaged with thecommunity and the Valen-tine’s Day dinner was onesuggestion.
“It’s a hard day if youhave lost someonethrough death or divorce,
or if you have never foundtherightperson,” shesaid.“We are just going to havefun together.Noonehas tobe alone.”
The event will begin at5:30 p.m. with time to mixand mingle, move on todinner at 6 p.m. and thenfeature games and enter-tainment. The menu in-cludes a spaghetti dinnerwith a meatless sauce op-tion for vegan.Themeal isfree to everyone whowants to know they areloved.
The event will be in theFellowship Hall of theMount Healthy UnitedMethodist Church, 7612Perry St.
Drake said the churchwill providechild careand
is looking forward to host-ing an evening of fun andfellowship.
“Of course we wantpeople to know God lovesthem, but this is not anevangelism event. Therewon’t be an altar call,” shesaid. “Instead of feelingalone on Valentine’s Day,we are hoping people willcome have spaghetti, andthen stick around for des-sert and coffee, conversa-tion and card games.May-be they will find a newfriend.”

An affordable housingproject for seniors beingdiscussed for the westend of Jonrose Avenue inColerain Township got aboost Jan. 28, when Cin-cinnati MetropolitanHousing Authority boardmembers unanimouslyapproved – with one ab-stention – the purchase of10 parcels needed for theproject to move forward.
ColerainTownshipres-ident and former TrusteeBernie Fiedeldey ab-stained because of hisconnection to the town-ship. The CMHA board
alsoapprovedthesubmis-sion of a tax credit appli-cationwhichwill help payfor the project, estimatedto cost about $14 million.
The goal is a develop-ment similar to the Re-serve on South MartinStreet in Mount Healthy.That joint project amongthe City of Mt. Healthy,CMHA and the Cincin-nati-Hamilton CountyNSP2 Consortium, fea-tures 60 units of afford-able senior housing. TheReserve on South Martinreplaced 15 apartmentbuildings that were a ma-jor source of complaintsfrom residents in MountHealthy.
Geoff Milz, ColerainTownship director ofplanning and zoning, saysthe area of Jonrosewherethe project is planned hashadanumberofproblemsandcomplaintswithprop-erty maintenance andcrime. The area underconsideration would bethe “S” curve of Jonroseonboth sidesof the street.
FrankBirkenhauer,as-sistant administrator andeconomic developmentdirector for the township,says the project is impor-tant for the southern endof the community.

Santa came early toColerain Township andbrought what NorthgateMall officials have beenworking toward for years:plans for a movie theaterat the mall.
Alliance ManagementCo., owners of XscapeTheatres, has filed a planwith the Colerain Town-ship Zoning Departmentthat would build a 14-
screenmovie thea-ter at themall on thesite of theformer J.C.Penneystore.
The planshows a
58,171 square-foot theaterwith entrances from theparking lot and the mall.Therewillbe1,570seats inthe theater,which also hasconcession stands and aparty room.
Geoff Milz, director ofbuilding, planning andzoning for the township,says the mall’s develop-ment plan was approved
fora theateras farbackas2007.
Frank Birkenhauer, di-rector of economic devel-opment and assistant ad-ministrator for ColerainTownship, said he’s excit-ed that Alliance is choos-ing to bring its XscapeTheaters to Northgate.
“This is unique conceptinourregion,andIbelieveit will become a regionaldraw,” he said. “It’s greatfor the mall, good for thecommunity.”
Birkenhauer said thetheater owner developedthe successful Great Es-cape theaters and thensold them to Regal.
“The tradition of this
family, who are pioneersin this industry, meansthey bring a wealth of ex-perience to this venture,and the mall and ColerainTownshipwill be thebene-ficiaries.”
This brings the mall astepcloser tobeingable totake advantage of a 12-year, 50 percent abate-ment on the taxes on theimprovements to the for-mer J.C. Penney site.
The Community Rein-vestment Abatementagreement for the proper-ty calls for the developerto investmore than$9mil-lion ina48,000square-footcinema with a minimumof 10 first-run moviescreens.
The agreement also
calls for the creation offive full-time and 30 per-manent part-time and 15temporary part-time jobswithin 24 months of thecinema’s opening.
“This exceeds the pri-mary requirements of the
CRA,” Birkenhauer said.Representatives of Al-
liance could not bereached, but township of-ficials said the companyhopes to have the cinemaopen before Thanksgiv-ing.
Northgate to get theaters
In 2009, the J.C. Penney’s site was a gaping open area in theside of Northgate Mall. It will be the site of the new XscapeTheater once the development plan is approved.FILE PHOTO

Great OaksThe biotechnology program
prepares students for a widerange of jobs.
For their senior projects:» Kelsie Brown of Mount
Healthy High School is work-ing on identifying bones thatwere found at a crime scene todetermine if the body wasfemale or male and how theydied. She plans to attend col-lege to become a forensic sci-entist.
» Tamauja Earley and Mi-kayla Short of North CollegeHill High School are makingaspirin in a lab using combina-torial chemistry techniques.They both hope to work in thepharmaceuticals industry,suchasforAmylinorProcter&Gamble.
» Kendra Franklin, also ofMountHealthy, is testing to seeif a sample of foodwascontam-inated with unwanted bacteriaby growing cultures in an incu-bator. Shewould like towork ina lab likeQ-labs so she can helpthe public be safe against con-taminated foods.
The senior projects are a re-quirement of the biotechnolo-gy/forensic scienceprogramatDiamond Oaks Career Cam-pus. Students have the chancetodigmoredeeply into specifictopics as they prepare to grad-uate and begin work or con-tinue their education.
Although most plan to go tocollege, some plan to get jobsright out of high school. For in-stance, many of the seniorsfrom the Diamond Oaks Bio-technology program have got-
ten jobsworking in localgreen-houses like Deifenbacher’sNurseryonColerainAvenueorlocal labs like Q-labs on Harri-son Avenue.
All of the students will becertified in aseptic techniques,CPR and first aid as well aschemical and biological safety.
Students attend the pro-gram in their junior and senioryears. As they progress, they’llcontinue to gain more knowl-edge about the varied fieldsthat biotechnology covers.
McAuley High SchoolEnglish teacher Pam Viss-
ing and members of her com-munications/multimedia classcreated a one-minute, stop-ac-tion animation video, “McAu-leyRocks,”which they enteredin the Archdiocese of Cincin-nati’s Capture the Cool videocontest.
“McAuley Rocks” won firstplace for popular choice in thecontest. McAuley’s video willbecome part of a television adand Vissing’s class will takehome $100 prize.
Communications/multime-dia is one of six English elec-tives offered at McAuley.
■McAuley hosted an all-
school program about the re-sponsible use of social media.
Stephen Smith of CincinnatiBell Technology Solutions pre-sented facts and anecdotesabout texting, taking and send-ingphotosoncellphones, cyberbullying, and online privacy.The students learned about thelegal ramifications of some ofthose activities, as well as
metadata, which essentially isone’s data footprint. One of hismain themes was that in thedigital world, nothing is everreally deleted and mistakesnever go away.
Following Smith, KristenSchmidt Kueffner, a 2003McAuley graduate, spoke tostudents about her experienc-es as a Hamilton County assis-tant prosecutor. She spoke ofhow socialmedia posts, tweets,photos, etc. are used as evi-dence to prosecute criminalsand how anything out in thedigital world can be retrievedat any time. Both guests rein-forced the fact that employersand even college admissionspersonnel are checking out ap-plicants’ social media sites andhistory.
The assemblywas arrangedby McAuley nurse PeggyHock.
WintonWoods HighSchool
A service project spear-headed by students in AliciaHardenburg’s Spanish class atthe Academy of Global Studies@ Winton Woods High Schoolcollected over 200 cannedgoods and two giant boxes ofclothing before winter break.
“The ninth-grade GlobalSeminar team designed andimplemented the service pro-ject,” said Hardenburg. “Theyresearched local charities, de-signedandhungupadvertisingposters, wrote morning an-nouncement reminders, andcontacted Winton Woods Mid-dle School to ask for their in-
volvement as well.”Ninth-grader Charity Sims
came up with the name for theproject, the “Clothes And FoodEvolution (CAFE) Drive,”which collected the items forthe Freestore Foodbank.
“To spur motivation, eachclass in thehighschoolcompet-ed for the most cans, with adress outdayas theprize,” saidHardenburg. “The senior classrose to the challenge, bringingin more than 100 cans alone.”
“The CAFE Drive was hardtonavigate, butwereachedourdestination,” said Sims at theend of the project.

SCHOOL NOTES
Arecent trip toMatthew 25:Ministries showedGuilli Dia, afreshman in the Academy ofGlobal Studies @ WintonWoods High School, that whenyou help others “you changetwo people’s lives, yours andthe other person’s.”
Dia visited the Blue Ash hu-manitarian aid and disaster re-lief organization along with 90other students from AGS. Shesaid she came away from thethree-hour experience withthe desire to create her ownnonprofit organization “be-cause it impacted me when Isaw people who needed help.”
While at Matthew 25:, thestudents toured the facility’sGlobal Village, an interactive
opportunity to see and under-stand the living conditions inneedy areas in the U.S. andaround the world. They alsoworked in the Fill Center, put-ting liquid soap into largercon-tainers for places like Haiti,where they will be used untilempty and then re-used as wa-ter containers.
AGS Coordinator KevinJones said after theGlobal Vil-lage tour, he noticed “a keenersense of focus among the stu-dents. The speed of their workincreased and their focus be-came sharper after they sawwho they were going to help.What we were doing at the FillCenter to help others becamereal to them.”
SamiraMouctar said that inmany ways the Global Villagetour reminded her of her coun-try, Niger, located in northernAfrica, where some homeshave metal roofs and othersare made of mud. Dia agreed,saying that in her country,Mauritania, located in north-western Africa, many homesare made of sticks and peopledon’t have access to medicine.Shethought itwouldbetheper-fect place to start her own hu-manitarian work.
Jack Schramm said beforethe visit to Matthew 25:, hehadn’t thought about the num-ber of people who lived in thekinds of conditions they saw.“It makes you want to help
even more so that people don’thave to live like that,” he said.
“I want to help more peopleand go to different countriesand help there,” Mouctar said.
“At AGS, service is a bigpartofwhatwedo,”Jonessaid.“We’vestartedanActsofKind-ness Campaign and plan to do2000 acts of kindness this year.We want to create a culture ofempathy toward others, of put-ting others first.”
Jones says a paper ther-mometer hangs in a schoolhallway as a reminder of thecampaign, and it’s updated dai-ly.
“It’s a reminder that we’regoing from a focus on self to afocus on others,” he said.

PRESS PREPS HIGHLIGHTS
By Tom [email protected]
SPRINGFIELDTWP.—There isno extent to which St. XavierHighSchoolbowlingcoachAlanRunkel won’t go through to gethis guys ready for the postsea-son.
It’s possible that when youwalk into Brentwood Bowl youcould see Runkel on his handsand knees halfway down a lanepushing oil every which wayjust to ‘spice things up’ a bit forhis guys in preparation forwhat’s to come over the nextmonth.
“(Brentwood Bowl) is verycooperativewithusso Iactuallygo out there and screw the lanesup to make them harder for theboys to practice on because the(postseason) won’t be on thestandard, typical, recreationalhouse shot that we bowl on,”Runkel said. “… We’ve beenpracticing on some very diffi-cult lane conditions for the lastfew weeks, so hopefully thatpays off when we get to the(postseason).”
If that isn’t enough, theBombers (11-8) have encoun-tered one of the toughest sched-ules in the city, much of whichcomes from their own league.Of theireight losses, sevenhavecome to Greater CatholicLeague South opponents withthe other coming toMiddletownwho is currently rankedNo. 2 inThe Enquirer Division I areacoaches’ poll.
“These guys, when they get
into the (postseason) they won’tbe afraid of anybody becausethey’vebeentherewithall theseother teams,” the coach said.
And Runkel’s right; his guyshave challenged nearly everyopponent they’ve encountered.The Bombers have been in sixmatches decided by less than100 pins, winning three of them.It’s a result Runkel says stickswithhimmore thanhis bowlers.
“It’s tougher as a coach,” hesaid. “As soon as they walk outthe door they’re listening tomu-sic in their car and having agood time. They forget about it.For me, (a loss) will be with meuntil at least eight o’clock (thenight after a match).”
Senior Kevin Polking of theCheviot/Westwood area is an in-teresting story. His 216.2 aver-age ranks first in theGCLSouthdespitebeing just a second-yearbowler with the Bombers. Ac-cording to Runkel, Polkingdidn’t believe he was goodenough to bowl for St. X as afreshman or sophomore, but histwo-handed approach has land-edhimatthetopofhisgamejusta year and a half later.
“(Kevin) is a gymrat, but in abowling center,” Runkel said.“Besides our own schedule wekeep, onSundaysandSaturdayshe gets out and bowls for a cou-ple of hours. He probably bowlsan additional 20 games a week.He juggles three jobs, is an hon-or student and he works hard atit.”

HYDE PARK — Nothingdirty about this dozen.
In fact, 12 SummitCountry Day seniorscleaned up in the scholar-ship department as theysigned their national let-ters of intent to play theirrespective sports in col-lege. The school celebrat-edwithaceremonyFeb.6.
Among the recruitswere five soccer players -including two All-Ameri-ca selections - four foot-ball players, a basketballplayer, a set of twin run-nersanda lacrosseplayer.
If those numbers don’tadd up to 12 - do the math;they won’t - consider An-
tonio Woods is going toplay football and basket-ball on the college levelwhile taking on an IvyLeague education at theUniversity of Pennsylva-nia.
Somewill remain closeto home. One of the All-Americans, ChristianHay, will stay in town toplay soccer for the Uni-versity of Cincinnati. Theother, soccer playerBryceHueber,will be justup the road with Summitteammate Addie Engle-hart at Wright State Uni-versity.
Others will venture tomore distant places. Dan-iel Bruns is off to playfootball at Marist inPoughkeepsie, N.Y .,
while Ellie and SophieAd-ams headwest to St. LouisUniversity for track andcross country.
How does such a smallschool do it?
“One, I think the aca-demics here are prettygood and a lot of parentswant their kids being as-sociated with great aca-demics,” said Greg Den-
nis, Summit athletic di-rector.
“The other piece is, wehave great coaches. Thecoaches come in and putthe time in and it’s inspir-ing to the kids that hardwork is what gets it done.So if you ask me what it’sattributed to, academicsfirst and foremost, goodcoaches and good hardwork from the kids.
Summit college coun-seling director MaureenFerrell agreed.
“Summit’s senior ath-letes have been heavilyrecruited this year,” shesaid. “Coachesandcollegereps tell us that our stu-dent athletes stand out be-cause they have demon-strated they can handle
rigorous academics whileplayingsportsandalsobe-cause we place an empha-sis on character forma-tion.”
Dennis said while theclass of 2014 features thelargest number athletessigning college scholar-ships in his 10 years at theschool, it’s not a surprise.More than 30 Summitalumni are playing col-lege sports today and sev-eral more Silver Knightsstillhaveyet tomaketheircollege athletic decisions.
“The national averageis4percentofkidssigningwithDivision IorDivisionII,” he said. “Our averageis about 14 percent. That’ssomethingwe take a lot ofpride in here.”
Summit upper schooldirectorDr. TerryMalonebelieves family is a cru-cial element, too.
“There’s so many wayswe have renaissance kidshere and here is just an-other example,” he said.“We’re so proud of them.They’re not just wonder-ful athletes, they’re won-derful students. That’s atestimony to their par-ents. (We say) thank youfor their delicate rearing;they’re great kids as a re-sult of (them).”

Fellow senior BenWeinberger of Fairfield is
having another phenome-nal season after earningGCL South Athlete of theYear honors last season.His 210.1 average sitsfourth in the league andhe’s doing it onnearly half
a wrist.“… He’s probably
bowling on a wrist that’s60 percent, 70 percent,maybe, and he’s still aver-aging (210.1),” Runkelsaid. “I don’t know if he’ll
(be GCL South Athlete ofthe Year again), but forwhat he’s been able to dowith 60 or 70 percent of awrist is absolutely incred-ible.”
With all that being said,
Runkel asks just one thingfrom his guys and if youdo that properly you haveto just let nature take itscourse.
“As I told our guys, allyou can do is throw the
ball down the lane is theproper manner. Thenfrom there you have tohope the 11 round objects,the 10 pins and the bowl-ing ball, do their job andknock each other over.”

Brooks completes 30 years ofservice to North College Hill
After 30 years as mayor ofNorth College Hill, Dan Brooksretired from politics in Decem-ber and was succeeded by
CouncilwomanAmy Bancroft.
Initially,Brooks had tobe talked intorunning formayor, butwhen he gotthe job, heused his expe-rience andexpertise as aprofessional
architect to creatively solveproblems and get things done.Long-time North College HillCouncil President RogerKrummen said, “Too manypeople think, ‘You can’t.’ Dandidn’t like that too well.”
Brooks’s Catholic motherandMormon father came frommodest means, and he said hewas “living proof” that inAmerica “anyone can makesomething of himself.”
One of his personal princi-ples was, “Make sure you’reright; if you are, go for it anddon’t back down.”
Over the years of Brooks’
administration, challengesarose for many of Cincinnati’sfirst-ring suburbs. Under hisleadership, North College Hillnever went into debt and neverlaid off a city employee. In2004, the Cincinnati Enquirersaid, “Although small and land-locked, North College Hill hasretained its own identity andmost of its people. By Hamil-
ton County standards, the cityhas remained a bulkhead ofstability.”
For decades, Brooks tire-lessly promoted two things: theadoption of a city charter thatwould allow the city’s residentsto “put control of the govern-ment back in the hands of thepeople,” and the creation of amaster plan for economic and
community development. In2007 after repeated setbacks,voters approved a city charter,and in 2008 an award-winningComprehensive Plan was com-pleted.
North College Hill’s long-standing reputation for hous-ing value was affirmed in 2007by a national survey whenMoney magazine rated it oneof the top towns in the UnitedStates “where homes are af-fordable.”
In late 2010, BloombergBusiness Week magazine againcalled national attention toNorth College Hill by calling it“the best place in Ohio to raisekids.” Brooks said, “We startedthis whole thing 30 years ago.We had an idea, we tried it, andwe wanted to see if it wouldwork. Well, it worked! Theycalled North College Hill, ‘thebest place to raise kids.’ Theydidn’t say we have the bestkids, but that we have providedthe tools kids need to succeed,and that’s really what we setout to do.”
Dan and his wife, JoAnn,seemed to always be together.Brooks insisted that when hestarted out in architecture,
“JoAnn was my partner.” Morethan 30 years later, he saidproudly, “She still is, and hasbeen the whole time.”
American architect PhilipJohnson said, “All architectswant to live beyond theirdeaths” by having their workoutlast them. Brooks’ work asmayor of North College Hillwill surely endure for manyyears. David Savage, mayor ofWyoming for 20 years, said,“Dan’s legacy will be a commu-nity that has been well caredfor and improved during thecourse of his service.”
As an architect and as apolitician, Dan Brooks contin-ually found a better way to dothings. What else would youexpect from aman who oftenclosed his mayor’s newsletterby saying, “Once again, I thankyou for allowing me to be themayor of the greatest city onearth and be part of the mostexciting time in our history”?
Thank you, Mayor Brooks.

Feb. 5 questionThe Bengals have asked Hamil-
tonCounty for control of thenam-ing rights to Paul Brown Stadium.Should the county turn over thenaming rights? Why or why not?What names would you suggestfor the stadium?
No responses.
Jan. 29 questionPresident Obama has said ad-
dressing income inequalitywill bethe focal point of his agenda forthe rest of his term. What can bedone to address income inequal-ity?
“I am afraid that the presi-dent looks at people as if theywere all cattle and each shouldhave the same amount of feedsince all cows shouldhave ‘equaloutcomes’ to their life.
“The president has the samementality as a thief andhis strat-egy for income equality is tosteal from the ‘haves’ (with hightaxes) andgive to the ‘havenots.’This is the strategy of destruc-tion.
“In America people are bornwith equal opportunity not thepromise of ‘equal outcomes.’With our God-given freedom ofchoice capability,weall have thefreedom to select our path in lifegiven our capabilities.
“In a classroom , should thehard working ‘A’ students givepart of their grades to ‘F’ stu-dents who sleep in class – there-by rewarding all students with a‘C ‘ grade? In business, shouldthe successful people be pun-ished to provide ‘equality’ to oth-ers?Toaddresssocalled ‘incomeinequality,’ thegovernmentshould allow businesses to growwith less regulation, lower taxesand no political harassment.
“Allowing easier businessstartups, and business growth –with less government interfer-ence will provide more incomefor everyone.”

FEBRUARY 12, 2014 • HILLTOP PRESS • B3LIFE
Today is a bread bak-ing day. The idea actu-ally started yesterdaywhen my friend JoanieManzo, a Loveland read-er, brought me a loaf ofhomemade cinnamonbread. Divine! So it gotme in the bread bakingmood. I didn’t have timefor cinnamon bread butknew I’d have time tomake this easy recipefor Italian bread. I keptone loaf for us and sentthe other to Tony andDebbie, our neighbors.With this wicked icyweather, a warm loaf ofbread with a bowl ofsteaming stew is a com-forting supper.
Italian bread forbeginners andeveryone else
I like this recipe forits simplicity. The flavorand texture is like thekind you get at a bakery.The crust is a bit crispand pale gold. I’m givingdetailed instructionshere. Check out my blogfor tips on kneading andstep-by-step photos. Ifyou want, sprinkle poppyseeds on the bread aftershaping.
1package (1⁄4 oz.) active dryyeast
2 cups warmwater (110degrees to 115 degrees)
Pinch of sugar to feed yeast1 teaspoon sugar2 teaspoons salt51⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
Stir yeast in warmwater, adding a pinch ofsugar to “feed” theyeast. It’s ready when itlooks foamy on top, afew minutes. Pour intomixing bowl and addsugar, salt and 3 cupsflour. Beat on mediumspeed for 3 minutes.Pour in remaining flourand mix on low to formsoft dough. On verylightly floured surface,knead until smooth andelastic, about 8 minutesor so. It may be sticky at
first, butwill getsmooth,like ababy’sbottom.Place ingreasedbowl, turn-ing once togrease top.Cover and
let rise in warm placeuntil doubled, about 1hour or so.
Punch dough down.Divide in half. Shapeeach into a loaf. Thereare two ways to do this:Simply make loaf shapewith your hands about 12inches long, or rolldough into an approxi-mate 12-inch by 7-inchrectangle. Roll up tightlyfrom long side, pinchseams to seal and placeseam side down onsprayed or parchment-lined pan. Cover and letrise until doubled, 30-45minutes. With sharpknife, make four shallowslashes across top ofloaf. Bake at preheated400 degrees for 20-25minutes, or until golden.
Tips» Make this by hand?
Of course, and you get aworkout, too!
» Measure accurate-ly. Flour settles as it sits.Whisk a bit or stir beforemeasuring. Measure byspooning lightly into cupand leveling off withknife.
» How warm is 110-115 degrees? Best to usean instant read ther-mometer, which is in-expensive and accurate.Water is just right whenyou put some on yourwrist and it’s warmenough for a baby todrink from a bottle.
» How to tell whendough is doubled. Risingtime is a guide only. Usefingers to make indenta-tion about 1⁄2 inch intodough. If the indentationremains, the dough has
doubled. For the secondrise after shaping, makea small indentation in thedough near its side. Ifthe dent remains, thedough is ready to bake.
Good-for-you eggscramble
Adapted from an EllieKrieger recipe. Febru-ary is heart month, sohere’s a recipe that fillsthe bill for health butdoesn’t sacrifice flavor. Ilike this stuffed into awhole wheat pita spreadwith mashed avocadoand sprinkled with alittle Feta.
Olive oil1⁄2 cup red onion, diced2 Roma tomatoes, diced4 whole eggs4 egg whitesPalmful fresh dill, chopped,or 1 teaspoon dried leaves
Salt and pepper
Film nonstick panwith olive oil, about atablespoon. Add onionand cook a couple ofminutes until soft, thenadd tomatoes and cookanother minute. Put inbowl and set aside. Beateggs together. Pour intoskillet and cook untilalmost set, stirring fre-quently. Drain excessliquid from tomato mix-ture and stir into eggs.Stir in dill, season totaste.
Tip from Rita’skitchen
Freezing avocados:Yes, you can. JungleJim’s had them on sale soI bought a lot, mashedthe flesh, squirted withlemon juice to keep thecolor and froze it.

ArtWorks’ businessdevelopment programfor creative entrepre-neurs has a new nameand an improved curri-culum.

branding agencies ac-tively volunteer theirtime as guest present-ers.
Course participantsalso receive the benefitof a small class as enroll-ment is limited to nomore than 15 entrepre-neurs per session.
CO.STARTERS isnow rolling out in othercommunities across thenation, providing pastArtWorks SpringBoardgraduates and futureCO.STARTERS entre-preneurs with a nationalnetwork of support andexchange.
CO.STARTERS is of-fered through ArtWorksCreative Enterprise di-vision, which trains andpromotescreativeentre-preneurs througheduca-tion, mentorships, ac-cess to capital and com-munity connections.
