have appointed the coun-cil to review their JEDZplan and the councilplanned to meet June 18,at the Colerain TownshipGovernment Building lo-cated at 4200 SpringdaleRoad. The council re-viewed the Economic De-velopment Plan for theproposed JEDZ in Cole-rain Township and decid-ed it was in the best inter-ests of the zone.

Colerain Township Ad-ministrator Jim Rowansaysthe plan, is availablefor reviewat the townshipoffices, 4200 SpringdaleRoad, and online atwww.coleraintwp.org.

Colerain officials willconduct a public hearingat 5 p.m. Tuesday, July 22,before they vote whetherto proceed with placingthe JEDZ on the Novem-ber ballot. The deadline toplace issues on the ballotis Aug. 6.

Springfield Townshipescaped the prohibitionagainst JEDZs when itwon approval in May tocreate one. Voters ap-proved a 1.5 percent taxon workers’ income andbusiness profits withinthe township limits.

Springfield Townshipand its municipal partnerMount Healthy squeakedunder the wire, and offi-cials are now establishingthe JEDZ board and pre-paring to set up the tax.Springfield TownshipEconomic DevelopmentDirector Chris Gilbertsays the township ap-points three people to siton the JEDZ board. Theywill be Gilbert, Dan Bern-ing and Jason Henry.

Gilbert told the boardat a June 10 meeting thatthe township expects tobegin receiving receiptsfrom thenewJEDZAug1.

Townships have beenhit hard by cuts in statemoney, saidStateSen.BillSeitz, R-Green Township,who voted against the bill.He said the anti-JEDZ bill

was part of an “unrelent-ingwar” on township gov-ernments’ revenue.

“Businesses do not getto vote when municipal-ities raise their incomestream, and no one callsthat taxation without rep-resentation,” Seitz said ina Senate speech.

Green Township Ad-ministrator Kevin Cela-reksaid thetownshipdoesnot have any joint eco-nomic developmentzones, but the board oftrustees have consideredthem in the past. He saidthe board intentionallytook no action on estab-lishing such a zone. Al-though the townshiphasn’t implemented jointeconomic developmentzones, he said the newstate lawcouldhaveanaf-fect on Green Townshipdown the road.

“It takes away thetrustees’ ability to createa Joint Economic Devel-opment Zone in the fu-ture, but it does not havean immediate impactright now,” Celarek said.

Green Township doeshave three Joint Econom-ic Development Districts,which differ from eco-nomic developmentzones. Economic develop-ment districts are re-stricted to specific prop-erties and are establishedmutually by the townshipand the business or or-ganization located on thespecific property. Thetownship has joint eco-nomic development dis-tricts at Good SamaritanWesternRidge, theMercyHealth – West Hospitaland the Christ Hospitaland Cincinnati Children’sHospital Medical Centeroutpatient complex.

Delhi Township Ad-ministrator Pete Lan-drum said township lead-ers are very disappointedin the new law. The statecontinues to cut fundingfrom townships he said.

“We will do everythingwe can to survive andgrow economic develop-ment,” he said.

Kurt Backscheidercontributed.

Protesters picketed outside the Springfield TownshipAdministration Building before a January trustee meeting,protesting the creation of a joint economic developmentzone. Voters approved the JEDZ in May, which will createan earnings tax for anyone working in the township.COMMUNITY PRESS FILE

Threevolunteers fromMcAuley High School’sinnovative Women in En-gineering Program hadan incredible opportuni-ty.

The new Mercy WestHospital asked them tocome up with a creativesolution to a real life situ-ation, the need for addi-tional parking at the hos-pital and medical build-ing. Young ladies fromtwo other schools werealso asked for ideas.

For about a month, Li-saNissen,McAuleyphys-ics teacher, worked with

the three students, brain-storming, researching,and even photographingthe existing availableparking. On May 1, theteam of Jenna Averbeck(sophomore, 45247), Ab-by Sander (sophomore,45247) and Hanna Scher-penberg (sophomore,45247) gave their presen-tation toapanelof judges,which included engi-neers, architects, anddoctors. There was greatpressure on these sopho-mores, but they present-ed their plan with muchmaturity.While theirplan

was not ultimately cho-sen, they certainly bene-

MONFORT HEIGHTS — LaSalle High School’s AnthonyBell soonwill have the chancetoshowoffhis skills in frontof30 Major League Baseballscouts and numerous collegebaseball coaches from someof the top programs in thecountry.

Bell’s dad, Bobby, told hisson June 22 he had been invit-ed to participate in the 2014AreaCodesGames, presentedby New Balance in LongBeach, Calif. Bell will departfor The Golden State July 31and the games will take placeAug. 4-9.

The senior-to-be is the firstLa Salle player to be invited tothe games under coach JoeVoegele and is believed to bethe firstplayer in schoolhisto-ry to received the recognition.

“I’m just so fortunate tohave this opportunity,” Bellsaid via a phone interview inbetween summer leaguegameswith theFlorenceFree-dom’s 17U team. “I dreamedabout (an opportunity likethis), but now that it’s actuallyhere, I don’t knowwhat to say;I have no words.”

According to studentsport-s.com, the Area Codes Gameswill feature “the best playersfrom around the nation com-peting at the highest level,while being evaluated at thehighest level. The tournamentserves as the beginning of a

nine-month interview processculminating with the MajorLeagueBaseballDraft the fol-lowing June.”

“It’s supposed tobeaprettynice affair,” Voegele said.

Bell’s opportunity arose af-ter performing in front of theChicagoWhiteSoxDirectorofAmateur Scouting, Doug Lau-mann. Laumann and BobbyBell went to scouting schooltogether in Arizona, while An-thony and Laumann’s sonJackson, who plays for theGrand Falls Voyagers of theWhite Sox organization, havegrown to be good friends aswell.

“Doug has come see me hitand when I hit with him, Iguess he liked what he saw,”the younger Bell said, whowas named second-team All-Greater Catholic LeagueSouth in 2014 after hitting .289and leading the Lancers inRBI (21) and stolen bases (7).“He had other scouts come tomy spring ball games and Iguess they liked what theysaw.”

As excited as he is to visitCalifornia for the first time,what’s to come is still un-known considering the senior-to-be didn’t know what TheArea Code Games were be-fore doing a little Internet re-search.

“I looked it up on YouTubeandwhat I’ve seen is that it’s abig opportunity to be seen byscouts from all over the coun-try,” Bell said.

Pitching helps Steam staynear top of GLSCL standings

CINCINNATI—An earlymid-season break mayhave come at the perfecttime for the CincinnatiSteam.

Battlingbackand forthall season for the top spotin the Great Lakes Sum-mer Collegiate Leaguewith the Hamilton Joes,the Steam put together itsfirst losing streak of theseason conceding threestraight contests beforebeating the Lake ErieMonarchs 11-3, June 25 inthe second game of a dou-ble header at Max McLe-ary Field.

“Yeah, it definitelyhelped,” first-year coachBrad Gschwind said dur-ing a rain delaybefore theSteam lost game one ofthe double header 3-0.

“We got some guyshealthy and these guysneed a break. We playedquite a bit early on, so itwas nice to have a fewdays early on.”

Sitting one game backof the Joes (as of June 25),the Steam (9-6) haveplayed just one game insix days from June 22-27,but now are staring downa stretch where they’llplay 17 games in 17 daysleading up theGLSCLAll-Star Game in Xenia July16.

Pitching is a big reasonfor the early success.

TheSteamboasts eightpitchers on the rosterwith an ERA below 3.60who have tossed at leastsix innings this season.Phillip Diehl (ArchbishopMoeller/Louisiana TechUniversity)madehis firststart of the season in the

3-0 loss to the Monarchsand tossed five innings,failing to allow a hit or arun and striking out fivelowering his ERA to 1.05and raise his strikeout to-tal to 11 in 17 innings thisseason and experiencedno issuesmovingfromthebullpen to the starting ro-tation.

“I just basically want-ed to control the fastballand work it in and out andlet my defense do therest,” Diehl said after thegame. “I just have a rou-tine that I go through. Ba-sically I start an hour be-fore the game, get mystretching in, bands andlong toss and then get onthe mound and get readyto go.”

Scott Sebald (ColerainHigh School/Lindsey Wil-son College) is 2-0 in hisfour starts this season

with a 1.05 ERA and 11strikeouts as well andboasts the top arm on theteam through the first 15games of the season.

“They’ve been great,”Gschwind said of hispitching staff. “Fromstarters, to relievers, tothe back end of the bull-pen, they’veall beengood.Phil threw really well forus and the guys have beendoing that for us all year.”

The Steam took two ofthree from the Joes earlyin the season and won’tsee the league leadersagain until they meet in ahome-and-home series toclose out the season July25-26. In the meantime,coaches and players willuse their spot near the topof the standings as moti-vation over this upcoming17-day stretch.

“It’s definitely early

being the first part of theyear, but it’s always niceto see your name near thetop,” Gschwind said.“These guys are playing

well and they’re doingwell right now. They’reswinging it; they’re pitch-ing it and we’re doinggood.”

BATAVIA — Their bidfor a repeat champion-shipfell short,but theUCClermont baseball pro-gram has established it-self as aperennial power.The next step is to moveintoa levelofplay thatal-lows the Cougars to re-main among the region’sand the nation’s mostcompetitive teams.

Afterwinning theU.S.Collegiate Athletic Asso-ciation Small CollegeWorld Series in 2013, theCougars were eager torepeat after a 24-9 regu-lar season. After losingtheir second game of thedouble elimination tour-nament, they knew itwould be a bigger chal-lenge in 2014.

“There’s always pres-sure when you’ve got atarget on your back,”head coach Jack Harbi-son said. “Being the de-fending World Serieschamps and entering thetournament with the No.1 seed put an extra bigtarget on our back.”

The Cougars strug-gled against left-handedpitching while attempt-ing to deal with a rash ofinjuries. They rallied toadvance to the champi-onship game against sec-ond-seeded LindenwoodUniversity-BellevilleMay15, but came upwellshort in the final game.

“Wedidn’tplaypartic-

ularly well in the WorldSeries. In fact,weplayedpretty terrible,” saidHarbison. “Wewerereal-ly beat upphysically, andwe struggled againsteasy-throwing left-hand-ed pitchers.”

The Cougars only sawone righthanded startingpitcher in the tourna-ment before the champi-onship game. They wonthat game 19-0. Theyavenged their first tour-nament loss by defeatingTheApprenticeSchool inthe semifinal, 4-2, behinda complete game from

freshman pitcher Ever-ett Osborne (Oak Hills).They ran out of gas in thefinal against Belleville, afully-funded NAIA pro-gram that offers 11 base-ball scholarships annual-ly, according to Harbi-son.That is a level of suc-cess thatHarbison hopesto reachatClermont, andbeyond.

“I really want to pushthis program to be com-petitive at a higher lev-el,” he said. “The goal isfor people to think of UCClermont firstwhentheythink of college baseballin the Cincinnati area.”

Harbison believesthat next year’s incom-ing recruiting class is hisbest one yet. The Cou-gars have also beefed uptheir regular seasonschedule. They want tomove up to NAIA and beable to offer scholar-ships in order to competewith other USCAA pro-grams. The USCAAbaseball tournament, un-like other sports, doesnot have separate tour-naments for scholarshipand non-scholarship pro-grams.

Of the Cougars’ fourfirst-team All-Ameri-cans – senior catcherMikeGastrich (Milford),senior pitcherChris Sun-derman (Glen Este), ju-nior first baseman RyanMummert (ClermontNortheastern), and ju-nior pitcher Ryan Beard(Batavia) –onlyone isex-

pected to return nextyear. Mummert will be acaptain and leader ofnext year’s squad. Thesenior is well-suited forthe role.

“He is such a greatkid. I don’t think thepressure will affect himat all,” said Harbison.“Whatever he does inlife, he’s going to be asuccess.”

Other experienced re-turnees next year in-clude catcher Ben See-ger (Reading), whobacked up Gastrich thisyear; second basemanJake Scarlato (OakHills), a defensive wiz atsecond base; and out-fielders JaySchunk (OakHills), whom Harbisoncalls a “diamond rat” forhis pure love of thegame, and Nick Burrus(Badin), another defen-sive stalwart. Osbornewill be the ace of thepitching staff, and theentire bullpen returns.

“The nucleus isthere,” said Harbison,“but a lot of kids willhave to fill in.”

Despite making theirthird World Series finalin the past five years, theCougarsare far fromsat-isfied with their perfor-mance this season. The2014 tournament left abad taste in theirmouths,and the 2015 season can-notgetheresoonenough.

Said Harbison, “Thelast thing I ever want todo is win second place.”

The UC Clermont baseball team had high expectations entering the 2014 season. They ended the regular season 24-9and finished as runners-up in the U.S. Collegiate Athletic Association World Series.THANKS TOWWW.UCLERMONT.EDU

Eating lunch next totwo-time Masters cham-pion Bubba Watson andreceiving well wishesfrom fellow youngsterJordan Spieth was cool,but it wasn’t the highlightof the week for Misleh.

“For me in particular,if Will was putting (on thepractice green) and I wason the outside, I was justtalking to people and in-forming them who he isand letting them knowhow proud I am to be cad-dying for him,” Mislehadded.

Competitiongot under-way Thursday morningwith Grimmer’s 8:57 a.m.tee time. The nerveswereobvious and understand-able. After notching a paron the par 5 10th hole,Grimmer’s first hole ofthe day, the Mariemontstar double bogeyed No.11 and followed it up withbogies on six of the nextseven holes to card a 7-over-par 42 onhis openingnine holes. Before hitting

the tee box on No. 1, Mis-leh quickly went fromcaddytofriend inhopesofcalming his buddy down.

“Hewas so upset whenwemade the turn,”Mislehsaid of Grimmer. “As hisfriend I just wanted tokeep him relaxed. I toldhim something along thelines of ‘Will, we’re at TheOpen; relax, have fun,take it all in, play golf.’Then I said something tomake him laugh.”

Whatever he saidworked, as Grimmerfired back-to-back-to-back birdies to open theback nine. The futureBuckeye went on to cardaneven-par35on thebacknine and a 7-over-par 77on day one.

A10-over-par 80 onFri-day ended the duo’s run atThe Open, but it’s a runthe duo will never forget.

“To get an opportunityto caddy for my buddy,who I know works end-lessly on his golf game,and to see his face andwalk down the first holewith him and all the peo-ple was amazing. Just tosee the course, hear themicrophone on the firsttee announce the names,everythingwas just unbe-lievable and surreal tomebecause I never imaginedbeing a player or a caddythere.”

Grading the graders an idea worth consideringShould Ohio pass a law that

mandates students to gradetheir teachers?

The apparent answer to thisquestion is, yes. After all, stu-dents are the direct beneficia-ries of everything that takesplace within a given teacher’sclassroom. How studentsshould grade teachers andwhat impact their ratingsmight have on a teacher’s ulti-mate evaluation are questionsunder consideration in SenateBill 229.

Unanswered questions in-volve the administration of thestudent surveys. Does theclassroom teacher distributethe surveys in class? Will abuilding principal conduct thesurveys in each teacher’sclass? Will students be permit-

ted to com-plete the sur-veys outsideclass?

If students,particularlysome elemen-tary childrenwho strugglewith reading,will they re-ceive assis-

tance?Will the surveys be con-

fined to classroom teachers orextended to include music, art,physical education teachers?What about administrators?Should they become subject tostudents written assessmentsas well?

Another question receivingattention is the section of the

bill that assigns results fromstudents annual surveys to upto 20 percent of a teacher’sevaluation. This is just as un-fair as mandating that 50 per-cent of each teacher’s evalua-tion be comprised of data ex-tracted from the state’s annualstandardized tests.

Students’ views of teacherperformance are not only de-sirable but necessary, espe-cially over a period of multipleyears. In fact Informationgleaned from students’ sur-veys and comments should bea factor in the school adminis-trator’s evaluation of a teacher

Skeptically speaking,ho-wever, the Ohio State Legisla-ture’s actions to mandate spe-cific content to evaluate teach-er performance is an unwar-

ranted effort to furtherdiminish the professional ex-pertise of individual teachersat the expense of its ultimategoal of waging war on teach-ers’ unions.

Despite the public’s re-sounding rejection of SenateBill five, the legislature is nowconducting one sided negotia-tions on issues that should bediscussed at the local bargain-ing table. It’s clearly evidentthat the hallowed conservativeprinciple of local control doesnot apply to contract negotia-tions between boards of educa-tion and teachers unions.

Unfortunately, Ohio hasjoined other states with Re-publican dominated legisla-tures that are attempting toenact laws that limit the rights

of teachers and unions thatrepresent them. This surveyproposal is just one in a seriesof legislative efforts to pro-vide boards of education addi-tional power to dismiss ten-ured teachers without dueprocess.

Until the legislature’s parti-san composition is changed, itseffort to weaken organizationsthat represent teachers willsucceed while standardizedtest results and data fromstudents’ surveys will have adebilitating influence on stu-dents’ ultimate achievement.

“Bring Back Our Girls.”This phrase is echoing

around the world as we learnmore about the horror in Ni-geria, where hundreds ofschool girls were kidnapped.Boko Haram, an Al Qaeda-linked terror group, hasclaimed responsibility and nowpromises to sell them into slav-ery. It’s sickening. It is vile. Itis disgusting.

These girls were kidnappedfrom a boarding school, study-ing to better their futurethrough the promise of educa-tion. Hideously, Boko Haramclaims to be waging a waragainst this very concept: girlsand women working to im-prove their position in life.However, we know that whenwomen are empowered andsucceed, entire countries pros-per.

These terrorists would rath-er subject half the human pop-ulation to servitude than seewomen succeed. While thistragic attack has brought Afri-can terror groups to the fore-front of our attention, this isnot a new battle.

As a member of the HouseArmed Services Committee, Itraveled in Africa in March toobserve and evaluate the effec-tiveness of America’s counterterrorism collaboration withnations on the continent. WhileI did not stop in Nigeria specif-ically, the work our advisorsare doing there is similar.

American Special Forces

are workingclosely withAfrican na-tions on anti-terror assign-ments, part-nering withgovernmentsto combat agrowing ter-rorist pres-ence in thecontinent to

fight back against warlordsand terrorist networks thatkeep millions living in fear.

Empowering local forces totake ownership of their coun-try's security will help combatthose who seek to terrorizetowns and populations. I amglad that our nation has com-mitted resources to help findthese girls.

It’s an unfortunate fact thathuman trafficking is still areality in Africa and across theglobe.

Even in our own country,and our own state, it still hap-pens.

Last December, I toured theFreedomHall Recovery Cen-ter in Pike County. While there,I spoke with one of the resi-dents in particular. Her storywas stunning.

Originally from EasternEurope, her freedomwas sto-len from her at an early ageand she was subjected to theworst kinds of abuse for years.Eventually, through the powerof community that she found at

FreedomHall, she is finding anew life.

The House of Representa-tives took action to fight backagainst the scourge that ishuman trafficking.

A package of about half adozen bills passed the Housethat take aim at the moderntrafficking networks and theindividuals who seek to exploitand abuse women and chil-dren. We will help victimsreclaim their lives as well.

We can help victims byproviding increased access toprotective services throughsafe harbor laws and furtherprotecting children in ournation’s foster systems.

We will continue to dis-assemble the black market bytargeting those exploiting ourvisa system, shutting downinternet advertisements forhumans trapped in servitude,and expanding internationalcooperation in breaking upglobal trafficking rings.

There is no magic bullet toend this modern day slavery,but heightened public atten-tion, increased collaborationamong governments, and acommitment to every humanlife will help the millions whosuffer.

June 25 questionWhat action, if any, should

the United States take in re-sponse to the ISIS uprising inIraq?

“The US should only actwith the UN as to the ISISuprising in Iraq or anywhereelse. Once Obama pulled theUS troops out of Iraq it wasback to theirwarring factionsas usual.

“It appears there will befighting among the MiddleEast countries forever andtheir oil supplies will be dis-rupted. The US would be bet-ter served by focusing on de-veloping its own oil/gas re-sources and also making surethose resources are kept do-mestically. Go figure!”

“Absolutely nothing! Weshould never have gone intoIraq in the first place and weshould have left there a lotsooner than we did.

“That part of the worlddoes not want democracy andtheUS attempts to create it inIraq were foolhardy.

“We finally left, we need tostay out. Enough Americanlives have been lost, and fartoo many Iraqi lives havebeen lost.”

“None.”T.C.

“Let’s find out if John

McCain, in a move like Char-lie Wilson did in Afghanistan,was responsible for armingISIS while they were fightingin Syria, clandestinely.

“The 300 advisors are dueto the fact that Bremmer/Rumsfeld disbanded the Iraqarmy in deBathificaion, thenMaliki sent away the capablytrained generals in favor ofincompetent, Shiite yes men.Advise and leave.

“And put Lindsey Grahamand John McCain on a leash.Preferably in situ.

“Our Abu Graib insidersknow how to do that, don’tthey.

“Hey wasn’t Wenstrupthere then?

“Ohwait,maybewe shouldput those liberator experts onthe ground in Iraq to directtraffic on their ‘success.’

“Too bad we did not bomb,bomb, bomb Iran, then the ca-liphate could extend to Teh-ran, and trigger panic in Re-publican America to get usinto another war.

“I say, advise and leave.Nodrone strikes either.

Hang this debacle onGeorge Bush and Dick Che-ney and Don Rumsfeld, andPaul Wolfowitz and DougFeith and all the rest of them.

Let’s set up a relief com-pound for those poor Iraqichildren on a compound inCheney’s ranch and let Lizmake up for dad’s bad acts.

“Or maybe we could justsupport the judgment of theguy who got Bin Laden. Youknow, the one of whom secre-tary of defense said: ‘Iworked for a lot of theseguys.And this is one of the mostcourageous calls – decisions –that I think I’ve ever seen apresident make.’

“What action? The UnitedStates should support thejudgment of their president,period.”

JULY 2, 2014 • HILLTOP PRESS • B3LIFE

I’m in the big leaguesnow. And it all happenedwithout trying.

Here’s how: A fewdays ago, we stopped atFarmer Kluba’s for toma-

to stakes.He wasgettingready toplantsquash,and a lot ofit, judgingfrom thegargan-tuan bag ofseed. Well,I had just

planted my eight littlehills of squash that sameday.

The next day, FarmerBruner came riding outon his vintage blue trac-tor to plant pumpkins inthe large field next to myveggie garden. I beat himto the punch – that morn-ing I got an early startand planted my own littlepatch of assorted pump-kins.

So I felt a kinship ofsorts with these hardworking people whosupply you, and me, withhigh quality produce.

That’s also why I loveearly summer. We’re inthe planting stage withsome produce, and thepicking stage with oth-ers, like black raspber-ries, mulberries andstrawberries. The kidslike to pick the berriesand pop them in theirmouths.

There’s never enoughleft over to do anythingwith, but that’s more thanfine with me – that’s whatfarmers’ markets arefor!

Easy homemadestrawberry pie

My students tell methis is as close to BigBoy’s/Frisch’s as I’mgoing to get. I’ve madethis in the past with jello(on my Abouteating.comblog) but I like this reci-pe even better. I’ll bemaking this on Fox 19 soyou can check out theirsite for the video. A yum-my dessert to tote for anIndependence Day pic-nic.

Baked pie shellGenerous 4 cups

sliced strawberries(leave strawberrieswhole if really small) – 2pounds berries

1 cup sugar1/2 cup cold water3 tablespoons corn-

starch2 tablespoons fresh

lemon juice – it has to befresh for the filling to jell

Garnish: Whippedcream

Whisk together sugar,water, lemon juice andcornstarch until mixtureis smooth. Add 2 cupsberries, cook over medi-um heat until thick andbubbly, then lower heatto simmer and cook 2more minutes. Cool, cov-er and refrigerate untilchilled. Fold remainingberries into mixture.Pour into shell and chill acouple of hours or untilset. This is a softer setpie, not real stiff. Besteaten the day it’s made.

Tips from Rita’skitchen:

If you want to add redfood coloring, add a drop

or two as you’re cookingthe base.

Raspberry pie:Whole raspberries

work well, too. The rasp-berries break down a bitmore than strawberrieswhen you cook them.

Did you know?Berries have fiber for

good digestion, vitamin Cand lots of water, goodfor hydration during hotweather.

Freezing strawber-ries:

Wash under cool water

and dry, Then removegreen stem/cap. Place infreezer in single layer oncookie sheet, uncovereduntil frozen, before pour-ing into containers. Dothe same with raspber-ries.

Roasted beetsI’ve had a couple re-

quests from readersabout the best way toroast beets. Beets are inthe same family as spin-ach and chard, and areespecially good for your

eyes. Here’s how I do it:Preheat oven to 425.

Wash and trim beets, butleave a bit of stem on toprevent bleeding. (Theleaves can be choppedand added to salads, orsautéed like spinach.) Patdry and wrap in foil.Roast until tender, up toan hour or so. Cool slight-ly, unwrap, and slip offskins while holding un-der cool running water.Do this quickly so youdon’t lose too many nutri-ents. Of course, you can

just peel the skins off byhand (use plastic gloves)but for me, I’ll sacrifice alittle nutrition for a lot ofease in removing theskins.
