Arecentaccident thatkilledamomandherdaughter, outonan evening walk in ColerainTownship, serves as a remind-er of the importance of pedes-trian safety.

Jessica Lutz, 29, and hermother, Patricia Lutz, 65, diedafter being struck by a carwhile they were out walkingnear their home Oct. 12. An in-vestigation is pending.

According to an April 2014report by the U.S. Departmentof Transportation’s NationalHighway Traffic Safety Ad-ministration,4,743pedestrianswere killed and about 76,000were injured in traffic crashesin the United States in 2012.

One hundred fifteen ofthose deaths occurred in Ohio.

That’s one pedestrian killedevery two hours, and one in-jured every seven minutes.

The NHTSA reported that70 percent of the fatalities didnot take place at intersections,and the vast majority, 89 per-cent, happened when theweatherwas clear, not raining,snowing or foggy.

The majority, 70 percent,also took place at night.

Municipal law typically re-flects Ohio Revised Code4511.50, which requires pedes-trians towalkon the left sideofthe road, facing traffic, if nosidewalk is available.

If there is a sidewalk, how-ever, pedestriansare supposedto walk on it and not the street,according to ORC 4511.50.

Pedestrians, which includewalkers and runners, must

cross the street at a crosswalk,and if none is available, mustyield to traffic.

Madeira City School Dis-trict has a much higher num-ber of walkers and takes mea-sures at all three schools to en-sure safety.

“Walk to School Day is heldin the fall and in the spring in

Students at Indian Hill Primary School board buses at the end of the day. The Indian Hill Exempted VillageSchool District encourages most of its students to ride the bus or ride with their parents as opposed to walkingto school or home. This is primarily because of the lack of sidewalks near the schools.

PEDESTRIANS,how safe are you?By Kelly [email protected]

STEPS FOR SAFETY» The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic

Safety Administration offers theses reminders for pedestrians:»Walk on a sidewalk or path whenever one is available.» If there is no sidewalk or path available, walk facing traffic, on the

left side of the road, on the shoulder, as far away from traffic as pos-sible.» Keep alert at all times; don’t be distracted by electronic devices,

including radios, smart phones and other devices that take your eyesand ears off the road environment.» Be cautious night and day when sharing the road with vehicles.

Never assume a driver sees you.» Cross streets at crosswalks or intersections whenever possible.» If a crosswalk or intersection is not available, locate a well-lit area,

wait for a gap in traffic that allows you enough time to cross safely,and continue to watch for traffic as you cross.» Stay off freeways, restricted-access highways and other pedestri-

an-prohibited roadways.» Be visible at all times. Wear bright clothing during the day, and

wear reflective materials or use a flashlight at night.

Tempers flared at the Madei-ra City Council meeting Oct. 27asthecouncilvotedtosendIssue13 to the ballot box with unani-mous opposition.

Issue 13 was on the ballot onNov.4andifpassedwouldaddanamendment to the Madeira CityCharter that would make thetraindepot,HosbrookHouseandMuchmore House part of a “his-toric district.”

Many members of councilhave been against Issue13 beingon the ballot since it was firstbrought before council. Thecouncil approved placing it onthe ballot as a “matter of proce-dure.”

“How can we add somethingto something we don’t have de-fined by our city?” CouncilmanKenneth Born said at the Oct. 27meeting. Because Madeira doesnot have a historic district, theamendment gives the city noth-ing that it can enforce.

If the amendment were topass, thecitycouldclarifyornul-lify it with another amendmentor through legal action, City So-licitor BobMalloy said.

ResidentDougOppenheimer,a member of the citizens’ groupbehind the amendment, said hehas plans for another amend-ment thatwouldcreateahistoricdistrict and a commission tooversee it.

During the public commentportion of the meeting, residentTodd Woellner accused the cityof hiding documents about howthe city obtained the historichouses. Woellner has obtainedfive letters about how the citygot the houses from CleoHosbrook, which he says showshe was forced to donate them.

“I was under the impressionthat we were collectively seek-ing the truth. I will simply notcontinue to be part of a processdesigned bymembers of councilto deliberatelymislead our com-munity,” Woellner said.

Oppenheimer also spokeagainst the resolution.

“The (resolution) is the abso-lute most shameful resolutionthat I have seen in almost 45years in this community,” hesaid.

Oppenheimer accused Mal-loy of hiding the records aboutthe houses and writing false in-formation into the resolution.

“You are making personal at-tacks on people. This is not the

forum for that, Mr. Oppenhei-mer,” ViceMayorMelisaAdriensaid, after others failed to sub-due the yelling.

Oppenheimer moved on topoint outmore false informationin the resolution.

“It is entangled with mis-truths. It is misleading. It con-tains someone’s personal fanta-sies. It iswritten in the hope thattheMadeira electorate is stupid.The author of this misleadingand obnoxious document shouldstand and be identified for au-thoring such a shameful docu-ment,” he said.

Born and Mayor Mike Steursaid they asked for the resolu-tion opposing Issue 13 to be add-ed to the agenda. Born said hewrote the resolution afterhehadbeen asked by residents his andthecouncil’s standontheamend-ment.

“It doesn’t matter if you arefor keeping the houses or sellingthe house, this amendment is avague initiative that sets up un-foreseen consequences andcould possibly set the city up forfinancial obligations in the fu-ture,” Born said.

Adriensaidamendingthecitycharter is not the rightway to goabout trying to protect thehouses.

“In looking at this resolution,it does not represent oppositionto preserving the houses. (Theamendment) maybe a well-in-tended effort, but it has a lot ofunknowns,” Steur said.

Mount Notre Dame (25-2) will play unbeatenstate No. 1Toledo St. Ursula Academy (28-0) Fri-day at 6 p.m. at Wright State in a Division I statesemifinal and the state final will be Saturday,Nov. 8, at 5p.m. atWrightState.ToledoSt.UrsulabeatMount Notre Dame Aug. 30.

The Cougars, rankedNo.1 in the EnquirerDi-vision I area coaches’ poll and No. 2 in the statepoll, have a chance to win a second straight statetitle and the school’s eighth overall.

UrsulinewasNo. 2 in the area andNo. 3 in thestate.

“I’m really proud of our girls,” Mount NotreDame coach Joe Burke said. “The last time weplayed them, we played very well and Ursulinedidn’t play aswell. Those girls and those coachesat Ursuline, they’re a tough bunch.We knew thiswasn’t going to be as easy as last time.”

Each MND win over Ursuline this seasoncameinstraightsetsandtheCougarshavewon11straightsets fromUrsulinedating to last season’sregional final.

“That may be one of the better MND teamsthat I’veseen, justbecause they’re sowell-round-ed,”UrsulinecoachJeniCasesaid. “Theyusuallyhaveoneor two togo to.But their libero is strong.Theirsetter isstrong.Theiroutside, theirmiddle.They’re really balanced, so I think they have anawesome team.

“Honestly, they’re the only team thatmade uslook as bad as we did when we played them dur-ing the season.We played them twice andwe didnot play well. We have four losses this year andthree of them are to them.”

Things started to get dicey for Mount NotreDame midway through the third set when Ursu-line surged to a four-point lead at 20-16.

That’s when senior outside hitter SydneyMukes sandwiched two of her 14 kills around anacebysenior setterJessicaTowle to trimthedef-icit to 20-19.

“Just confidence,” Mukes said. “That’s beenmy motto all year and our team’s motto. Confi-dence and don’t stop believing. All the time. Be-lieving that we’re in it.”■

TheCougars finally tied thegameat 23-23 and

junior outside hitter Erin McCarthy put MNDaheadforgoodwithanace.JuniormiddleblockerDani Szczepanski then ended thematchwith herfifth kill.

“This team has a lot of heart,” Towle said.“We’ve come back from a lot of teams having usdown and we’ve managed to fight our way back.That had a lot to do with it.”

MountNotreDamecontrolledmostofthefirsttwo games after Ursuline raced to a 4-1 lead inGame1.

“Our coaches prepared us so well for thisgame,”Towle said. “They’re alwaysgivingus thebest criticism they can this whole week andthey’ve really been on us about doing the littlethings right and I really think wemanaged to dothat this game.”

Players of the Match: Mukes was a forcedown the stretch.

“She is a heck of a player,” Burke said. “Wemoved her to outside three years ago now and tosee where she started at as an outside to whereshe’satnow,Ireallybelievesheis justadominantplayer. We were telling them at the end, get Syd-ney the ball. Get Sydney the ball.”

Szczepanski had five kills and senior right-side hitter Lyndsey Degaro added four.

Towle finished with 23 assists and three killswhile senior liberoMargoWolf added 23 digs.

“SinceUrsuline is a great rival, we always getpumped up against them,” Mukes said. “But weknow we have to lay our best game becausethey’re a good team.”

SeniormiddleblockerKatEdmondson ledUr-sulinewitheightblocks. Senior outsidehitterAb-by Williams and freshman middle blocker AliThompsoneachhadeightkills.Williamsadded16digs and junior setterKellyCameronmade16 as-sists for the Lions.

View from the Sideline: “Someone has tolose,”Case said. “There’s only one team that’s go-ing to end on a win. They were tough. We hadnothing to lose. I just wanted to play them betterthan we did in the season and we absolutely did.So I’m really proud of the girls.”

Case said everything was better in the thirdmatch of the season against MND, despite thesimilar result.

“We served more aggressively,” Case said.“Wedugandtouchedmoreontheblock.Justkindofbeingawareofwhat theyweredoing.Wedidn’texecute on someof the other thingsweneeded toexecute, but I felt like theyplayed10 timesbetterthan we did during the season.

Extra Points: A state title repeat for MountNotre Dame would tie Cincinnati St. Ursula andNewark Catholic for the record formost state ti-tles with eight.

SocceratMadeirareal-ly becameaprioritywhenthe boys’ program wonback-to-back state titlesin 2001 and 2002, Bradysaid.

The bestmemory fromthe season has to be rais-

ing the district champion-ship trophy. Last season,Madeira lost in overtimeto eventual state champi-on Badin. The Amazonswere hungry to get backand win that game.

“Everything we had todo to get back to thatgame, there was nothingmore special as a coachthan getting to see thesegirls celebrate the fruitsof their labor,” Bradysaid.

able to stop (Anderson).At thesametime, it’s hardto mark her up.”

Mount Notre Dametook a 1-0 lead with 20minutes, 15 seconds leftin the first half. SophieSikora passed it in on apenalty corner to Caro-line Warning, who got itback to Sikora. Sikorathen knocked it past goal-keeper Audrey Anderlefor the goal.

The Cougars had fewopportunities throughoutthe remainder of regula-tion, but a defense led bysenior goalkeeper AllyBenz, senior defendersTess Meyer, AbbySchwarz and Sarah Pis-ciotta and junior defend-er Madison Titus helpedthem keep the lead untilthe 57th minute.

Benz, who was all-state a year ago, finishedwith 13 saves.

Shaker Heights had 15penalty corners com-pared to just one forMount Notre Dame.

“It’s not the first timethe other team has had itdown in our end a lot,”Benz said. “We’ve beendown the overtime roadbefore, too, but we defi-nitely allworkedwell as aunit to get this far.”

Mount Notre Dame,which lost toGahannaCo-lumbus Academy 1-0 inovertime in a state semi-final a year ago, seemedon the verge of hangingon before ShakerHeightsfinally broke through.

With 3:50 to go in thesecond half, Andersontook a pass from MarciaBrown off a penalty cor-

ner and passed it to Jessi-caMorford,whosmashedone past Benz to tie it at 1.

With 4:25 to go in over-time, Mount Notre Damehad its best opportunityto score since its firstgoal, but Anderle and theShaker Heights defensethwarted the scoringchance.

On Anderson’s game-winner, she dribbleddown the left side of thefield, moved around a de-fender and shot it pastBenz.

“Our goalkeepermadesome great savesthroughout the game,”Vonderbrink said. “Weheld them until there wasabout three-minutes andsomething left. Theyplayed their hearts out.”

Notre Dame Academyhas made five appear-ances in the state tourna-ment, with its best finishcoming in 2004 when itwas the state runner-up.

Still, Vonderbrinkwon’t forget the 11-mem-ber senior class thatbrought the team back to

state again this year.“They’reaveryunique

group,” Vonderbrinksaid. “They kind of justdid what we told them todo and it worked out.”

PLAYOFF PAIRINGS

SYMMES TWP. — Football coachEric Taylor remembers the dayword got out about Prince Sam-mons, a highly recruited 6-foot-8junior two-way linemanplayingforunbeaten Cincinnati Hills Chris-tian Academy. It happened whenSammons was a freshman, beforehe played a single down on thefield.

“Afootball scout that Iknowwasinterested in some of our guys.Prince kind of stands out, and hecaught the attention of the scout,”Taylor said. “He asked me who hewas. I said it was our water boy; hewasn’t eligible to play yet. And welaughed about it. So he starts text-ing that you need to watch out forCHCA’s water boy.”

Sammons’ improbable rise fromwater boy to one of the mostsought-after college footballrecruits in the country is merelythe latest twist in a tale that beganin Nigeria, where Sammons wasknown as the tall one namedPrinceMicheal, a manchild in the Lagosregion whose heart was as big ashis frame.

Sammons, a natural athlete andnimble for his size, has a 7-footwing span and weighs 268 pounds,according to Taylor. He has more

than100 tacklesandnearly10sacksin twoseasonsfor the10-0Eagles.Asecond-team all-Miami Valley Con-ference selection as a sophomore,he is a national top-50 prospect inthe 2016 class with scholarship of-fers from Alabama, Auburn, Geor-gia, Ohio State, Penn State, Tennes-see and others, 17 in all.

“Football is fun,” Sammons said.“It’s great to be around other kidslike me and be part of the team.”

He’s been playing football twoyears for the two-time MVC co-champions. Prior to that, he hadnever heard of the sport, thinkingthe subject was soccer when it wasfirst introduced in conversation.

In Nigeria, he was very familiarwithsoccer, a first sportingpassionthat he never outgrew. He alsoloved basketball.

At home, he had his favoritefoods, including curry chicken. Hehad twoparents,who lovedhim.Hehadawayof lifewhichwas theonlything that he knew. He had a wayout of Nigeria, if he wanted it,through an American basketballscout who connected him with ahigh school in the United Stateswhere he could further his educa-tion, learn skills and play basket-ball. The young Prince wanted it.

But he lost all of it, includingboth parents.

Coach Taylor said Sammons’mother and father died in separateevents as he was in the process ofmoving to the United States insearchof abetterwayof life for hisfamily including nine siblings. Allthe original plans fell through withthe high school in Maryland wherehe was planning to attend classesand play basketball.

“He’s apparently been through alot,” coach Taylor. “And he woundup with us.”

It was only this past Maythat mentors from the IBMteamwere bidding farewell totheir student protégés at DeerPark City Community Schools.

Students and IBMers hadsuccessfully participated inthe area’s inaugural Mentor-Place program. In a few shortweeks, year two of this excit-ing programwill begin, prom-ising a remarkable experiencethat will forever touch thelives of all involved.

The program is a collabora-tion of the University of Cin-cinnati, The Greater CincinnatiSTEM Collaborative, DeerPark City Community SchoolDistrict and IBM. In this after-school program, IBM employ-ees are paired with middleschool students whom teachersand counselors believe could

benefit fromthe relation-ship. The ini-tiative aims togive boys andgirls a bettergrasp of sci-ence, technol-ogy, engineer-ing and math(STEM) –knowledgethat can lead to

rewarding careers.Research shows that such

pairings not only provide kidswith positive role models thatencourage better behavior,physical health and mentalwell being, but also inspirestudents to achieve more loftypersonal and academic goals.

“Our IBMMentorPlaceprogram offers outstanding

opportunities for our juniorand senior high school stu-dents,” Jeff Langdon, superin-tendent of the Deer Park Com-munity City School District,said. “We were incrediblypleased with the success of theprogram in the first year, ener-gizing our students, staff, andcorporate sponsors to returnfor another year. The closingceremony was so rewardingwhen we witnessed the confi-dence and pride the mentorsevoked from our students. Thereal-world connection waspowerful in linking our stu-dents’ learning to their plansfor the future.”

The impact of programssuch as Mentorplace, and thedifference it can make on thefuture of our young people, isbigger than any one of us indi-

vidually. TheMentorPlaceprogram at Deer Park is notonly impacting the future ca-reers of young people locally,but is part of a more compre-hensive mission nationally toencourage the pursuit ofSTEM related careers anddevelop skills that will allowthe United States to more ef-fectively compete for jobs on aglobal scale in an increasinglyinternational workforce.

One of the most rewardingaspects of being a volunteermentor is potentially changingthe trajectory of a student’slife.

Many of young people lackthe confidence to believe thatthey can accomplish greatthings. Through their inter-actions with an IBMmentor,Deer Park students gained

confidence and ambition.Our investment into the

lives of these students is anabsolute honor and privilege,where, for a few brief mo-ments in a young student’s life,we get to walk alongside them,and assist these students intheir journey to answer impor-tant questions they’re askingthemselves such as, “Who amI?” What am I good at?” “Whatdo I really enjoy doing?” “Howdo I becomemy best?” “Wheredo I fit in?” and “Where am Igoing?”

I cannot think of a moreworthy investment.

Dean Kuroff is IBM’s executivesponsor for the mentoring programwith the Deer Park School District inpartnership with Cincinnati STEMCollaborative.

Ragweed is often the culpritfor late summer, early fall aller-gies. Unfortunately, this nastyplant is prevalent in southwestOhio.

Ragweed plants produce bil-lions of pollen grains that areeasily spreadbywind. Inour re-gion, ragweed blooms from Au-gust through early October,peaking in September.

The Southwest Ohio AirQuality Agency measures pol-len and mold counts, Mondaythrough Friday, and providesthis information through sever-al convenient resources:

» Pollen and mold hotline at946-7753;

» Social media: Twitter.com/SWOhioAir or Facebook.com/SouthwestOhioAir;

»Website: Southwest-OhioAir.org.

You may consider using thisdata tokeepyourown journal ofwhen your allergy symptomscorrespond with pollen counts.Look for a pattern that might

help you antici-pate how to re-spond to futurehigh pollencounts.

In addition,these tips maybe helpful:

»Keep win-dows closedanduseair con-ditioning in-stead. Be sure

to change the filter.» Avoid activities such as

raking leaves, mowing andworking with compost.

»Minimize outdoor activitybetween5a.m. and10a.m.whenpollen levels are highest.

» Shower before bed to re-move pollen from your hair andskin.

» For severe allergic reac-tions, consult an allergist.

Oct. 29 questionDid you or will you vote

early this year, or will you waituntil Election Day? Why?

“I have voted via the mailon absentee ballots for thepast 8 years or so. The ballotis available ahead of timefrom Hamilton County viaphone or www.votehamil-toncounty.org.

There are many advan-tages to this mail-in methodsuch as no lines, weatherconcerns or driving andparking concerns. The bestpart is I can sit at home withall the information in front ofme and take my time intelli-gently filling out the ballotand mail it in early. Everyyear I see that hundreds ofpeople stand in line down-town for early voting at theboard of elections. They arein line and my ballot hasalready been counted. GoFigure!”

T.D.T.

“I have never understoodearly voting. I worked as apilot for 46 years, and neverhad a problem with gettingan absentee ballot. Earlyvoting made it possible forme to go down to the Boardof Elections rather than mailin the ballot, and watch thelines of people being broughtin with people to ‘help’ themget registered and vote.

Many were quite open aboutbeing students not from thearea, and quite possibly reg-istered to vote elsewhere.Made me wish for a purpleinkwell, where people couldreceive a mark that said theyhad already voted, but couldonly be used once. I believevoter fraud is one of the larg-est issues facing our Repub-lic this election cycle.”

D. B.

“I did already votethrough an absentee ballot. Istarted this one year when Iknew I was going to be out oftown. but when it becameavailable as a means of earlyvoting I opted for this meth-od in almost every election.It gives me time to sit withthe ballot and then take timeto do some research on thecandidates and issues so Ican make as informed a deci-sion as possible.”

Cincinnati’s Union Terminal,which houses the MuseumCenter, has been mentioned agreat deal lately.

Although it is an architec-tural landmark full of interest-ing exhibits and a must seesight for out-of-town visitors,for families it is also a place toshare memories of earlier daysand make plans for futureoutings.

The Cincinnati HistoryMuseum has Cincinnati inMotion, sometimes called thetrain display. However it isCincinnati in miniature whichfeatures models of CrosleyField, Union Terminal andmany neighborhoods as theylooked in the early 20th centu-ry.

On a family visit, tell aboutvisits made to the CincinnatiZoo in its earlier days and, ifold enough, trips to CrosleyField, Coney Island or LunkenAirport when it was the mainairport for Cincinnati. Near theend of the museum, there isPublic Landing, a reproducedriver town including the Queenof the West riverboat. Cos-tumed interpreters may bethere to add information.

thoughts and memories is atthe space age display.

It is small and an excellentopportunity to expand on itsince it occurred during ourlife time. That could lead to afuture visit to the Neil Arm-strongMuseum.

Next, there is the popularCave and Ice Age that couldlead to a visit to MammothCave. The cave has a wheel-chair accessible path. Ofcourse, Dino Hall is popularand it is near the exit to themuseum.

Duke Energy Children’sMuseum, in the lower level, ismeant for those 10 and under.Energy Zone andWater Worksare popular areas as well asTheWoods, an area for chil-dren 8 and above which fea-tures a new aquarium. It may alead to a trip over to Kentuck-y’s Newport Aquarium.

Forthe train fan of all ages, TowerA is like a train museumwherethey can get a view of thetracks still in use today, andexplore the artifacts showing

Yesterday my throatand head were stuffedup and the last thing Iwanted to do was workin the herb garden.Mother Nature was co-operating with the

weather,so I knew Ihad tostart get-ting thegardencleaned upfor winter.I wasgrumblingsince mytaskseemed toloom so

large. The weeds hadsprung up just abouteverywhere. I was tak-ing my garden plaquedown when I stopped toreally read it once again.My attitude changedimmediately. I thoughtyou’d enjoy seeing theverse I read that put mein a positive frame ofmind. Not only that, butwhen I cut back theeucalyptus, thyme andhorehound, those power-ful herbs that help withrespiratory ailments,my head and throatcleared up nicely. Les-son learned!

Helen Sarky’sLebanesevegetarian greenbean stew

I love this recipefrom Lebanese friend,Helen Sarky, an An-derson Township reader.A version of these beansare going to be served atthe upcoming “A taste ofLebanon” held at St.Anthony’s of Paduachurch on Victory Park-way. The feast is onSunday, Nov. 23, fromnoon to 6 p.m. and themenu will also containkibbee (the main meatdish of Lebanon), hum-mus, vegetarian falafel,stuffed cabbage andgrape leaf rolls, amongother traditional favor-ites. These are genera-tions-old recipes, trea-sured heirlooms. They’llalso have dancing andmusic and carryout, aswell. Check out the sitewww.stanthonyof

paduachurch.com orgive them a call at (513)961-0120.

1 pound fresh orfrozen green beans, cutinto 2” lengths

2 tablespoons oliveoil

1/2 cup sliced thinlyonions

1 tablespoon mincedgarlic (opt)

1/4 teaspoon groundcinnamon or to taste

Salt and pepper totaste

2 teaspoonschopped fresh mint

1-1/2 cups diced to-matoes

1 cup water or chick-en stock

1 tablespoon lemonjuice

Heat oil over mediumheat until hot. Add on-ions and sauté until car-amelized (3 minutes);add garlic and sautéanother 2 minutes. Stirin cinnamon, salt, pep-per and mint and keepstirring. Add tomatoes,water and lemon juiceand keep stirring. Addbeans and bring to aboil. Reduce to a sim-mer, cover pan and cookuntil tender, about 20minutes. Serve over abed of cooked rice.

Cauliflower pureeAccording to the foo-

dies, cauliflower is thenew kale. I just harvest-ed some Jerusalem ar-tichokes from the gar-den and roasted thosewith some cauliflowerand Brussels sprouts.They were a deliciousand different side dish.But you know what?Cauliflower can stand onits own as a nice pureeto go alongside thatThanksgiving turkey.Lower in carbs thanpotatoes, this puree canbe done several hoursahead and reheated.

2 heads cauliflower,stems and leaves re-moved, florets cut up

Lemon juice to taste1/2 stick butter or

substitute or more totaste

Half & half or whip-ping cream - can be lowfat half & half

Salt and pepper totaste

Chopped parsley forgarnish

Either steam the cau-liflower or cook in boil-ing salted water untilsoft but not mushy.Drain very well, returnto pot and shake over

high heat to get rid ofany excess moisture.Now either put it in pro-cessor or beat untilsmooth in mixer. If us-ing processor, pulseuntil it’s smooth as youlike. Beat in lemon juice,

butter and half & halfuntil it’s the consistencyyou want. Usually 1/2cup of liquid is suffi-cient, but it dependsupon the size of the cau-liflower. Sprinkle withparsley for color.
