His book encouraged people to eat meat- less meals and stop wasting the world’s resources. His personal research on world hunger issues had convinced him that because it took so much grain to feed cattle that eating meat was an enormous waste. Vegetarians in other countries were common but Americans were slow to embrace this new concept. Some vegetarians are Lacto-ovo and eat no meat but will eat dairy products and eggs. Ovo-vegetarians eat eggs but no meat or dairy products. Vegans eat no meat or animal products. Most of us still only eat veg- gies as a side dish. And statis- tics vary on what percentage of us identify as non-meat eaters. Some sources say that as much as 6% of the population are veg- etarian or vegan. My son, Jeff, is a vegan. Let me tell you, that diet is not for the faint of heart (pun intended). It is a complete way of living.

Evidence is over- whelming that a well-balanced vegetarian diet is better for you than a meat based diet. Countless studies have shown that a nutritious, plant-based diet will result in a lower risk of obesity, coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and more. Our family, however, is still a mixed group. We can’t give up our eggs and cheese! Most of us are meat eaters but Jeff and his wife Andrea are living proof that their vegan diet is doable and it dramatically lowered his cholesterol. However, it is a balancing act to get enough pro- tein. So, when they come to our house, in addition to vegetables, I stock up on soy products like tofu and tempeh, rice, beans, hummus and a multitude of other things from Trader Joes. Today, the purpose of my col- umn was to research and fi nd a veggie burger recipe to share with them and you. I regret to tell you that the one I found was too long to print! You can fi nd it and other vegetarian recipes at: www.ohsheglows.com. My next choice was to fi nd a new way to serve two veggies that are in season right now— broccoli and Brussels sprouts. We seem to eat a lot of broccoli at our house and my husband loves sprouts. I ended up with a combination of the sprouts and broccolini (a hybrid of broccoli and kale). This recipe is different and will really perk up your taste buds. It’s way more tasty than a run-of-the-mill steamed ver- sion of either vegetable. Try it. You’ll like it. Enjoy! By Caitlyn May cmay@cgsentinel.com Wolfclan Armory owners Al and Jeanette Laskey told the Cottage Grove City Council "what they were and what they weren't" during public comment during Monday night's meeting. The couple, who are in the process of moving their busi- ness from Creswell to Main St. in Cottage Grove said they were not white supremacists and that they had not expected the pro- tests their arrival garnered. On three different occasions, a small group of residents has protested in front of the store citing the Laskey's son Jacob's previous federal prison sentence for throwing swastika-embla- zoned rocks through a syna- gogue window in Eugene. He served 11 years. After being released, he was photographed with members of American Front, a group the Southern Poverty Law Center defi nes as a hate group. During Monday's meeting, Jeanette told the council that she had raised her children "conservatively in the Christian church" and that Jacob, who is currently facing charges for a was not the only magic the group was trying to capture throughout the event. “I have a magic trick of my own, I’m going to make a new executive director appear to- night,” said interim executive director Diane Hazen. Hazen has been in this temporary role for over two years but was proud to welcome in Courtney McGinnis who will be taking her place. McGinnis, who has over 25 years of experience in higher education, took time to praise her predecessor. “I have huge, huge shoes to fi ll. Huge, big. And as I men- tioned yesterday, I hope and pray that I can be just as half of the amazing woman and leader she has been for this organiza- tion and this community,” she said to a round of applause. McGinnis went on to discuss the role of the program and how they can continue to grow. “They should have the op- portunity to believe in some- We’ll make sure your system is running eff ectively and effi ciently.

That dreams are possible. To believe in the un- imaginable. To play. To dream. To feel safe. To feel loved. To know that they have a safe bed to sleep in. To have food to eat when they are hungry,” she said. “We are here to change the lives and the power through education. And it begins with early childhood learning and development.” Keeping the theme of the eve- ning alive, Elaine Walter, the executive director of the Trau- ma Healing Project, went on to talk about the hopes of the pro- gram. “The magic that we’re talking about is the magic of successful and healthy children in stable and safe families,” she said. “Wouldn’t it be nice if we could wave our magic wands and that would in fact be the reality for all of our children?” While past “Sigh of Re- lief” events have raised around $18,000, this year’s total is ex- pected to be under that margin. “Turnout was a little lower than we thought it would be. But the people who were there were very generous and I’m going to say I’ve seen some ex- citing numbers come through,” said Camas Canfi eld who works with grant writing, fundraising and a little of everything else with the Family Relief Nursery. “Any donations we get go di- rectly to child services. So the classroom, paying for lunches for the kids, paying for trans- portation for the kids. And for home visits. Paying for art sup- plies,” she said. “All the things that it takes to run, the play- dough that I played with all day. All the day-to-day things that the children get to benefi t from.” Next year’s event will be a ca- sino night. Housing Continued from A1 Home Pride Local & Metro Weekday Trips Professional Caring Staff asking for the board to act. He said he had been asked to look at the company's social media and found posts--created by Ja- cob. The posts promote racist ideology. Fleck told the couple that he appreciated them com- ing forward to state that they did not subscribe to hate but that the posts seemed to be created by someone representing the busi- ness and that if Wolfclan did not feel they refl ected the business, should be reconsidered. The last post on the com- pany's social media page was made days before Jacob's arrest in January of this year.

Councilors Jake Boone, Ken Roberts and Garland Burback thanked the couple for making a public statement with Burback wishing the couple well and Boone reminding residents and the Laskeys that the board was not empowered to stop protests unless a law was being broken and the board could not ban businesses based on the possible ideology of the owners.

River Road 1 1/2 cups Brussels sprouts 1 bunch broccolini or other veggie, such as caulifl ower 4 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons maple syrup 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar a few handfuls of arugula ¼ cup dried cranberries Sea salt and fresh black pepper Preheat the oven to 375° F. Remove the outer leaves of the Brussels sprouts and cut in half. Chop the broccolini into bite-sized pieces. Spread the vegetables on one or two large baking sheets. Roast the broccolini on a separate sheet because it takes less time. Driz- zle with the olive oil, maple syrup, and balsamic and season with pinches of salt and pepper. Toss until well-coated. Drizzle a little more on the Brussels sprouts and a little less on the broccolini since it takes more to get the Brussels sprouts to tenderize. Roast the broccolini for 20 minutes, until browned but not burnt. Toss halfway through. Roast the Brussels sprouts for 45 minutes, until browned and caramelized. Toss halfway through. Watch and adjust the timing to whenever they look done, and don’t be afraid to deeply caramelize them. Once roasted, set aside and let cool to about room temperature. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding salt, pepper, maple syrup, or vinegar as needed. You can roast the veggies a few hours in ad- vance. They improve as they sit and the fl avors meld together. Warm just before serving. Toss the warm veggies with the arugula and cranberries. Taste again, adjusting seasoning to your taste. Serves 3-4. Note: Recipe is from Jeanine Donofrio. Wolfclan Armory addresses council SPRING LANDSCAPE AND BUILDING MATERIALS MAPLE & BALSAMIC BRUSSELS SPROUTS ccb# 217560 goals. The document, which has been in development since the end of last year, is set to see public hearings in August. While public comment and input are encouraged, Ferguson notes that the end result may not mirror the expectations of some individ- uals when they hear "housing study." "The study is not geared to any specifi c developer and the result will not be any immediate development. It's a 20-year land analysis. It will be a longer public process," she said. After the completion of the 2005 study, no changes were made to the comprehensive plan, according to Ferguson. "It (the comprehensive plan) still dates back to the 90s. This is our fi rst attempt in quite some time to update our housing policies."
