Thisareaandsurroundingareashavebeenhit

byhighunemployment andproblemsasso-

ciated with the recent flood conditions.

While it isdifficult enoughfor adults to try tokeep

theirheadsabovewater(soto speak),thinkabout the

effectsoninfants.Infants dependon a parent topro-

vide necessities like food and diapers. However,

when money is short or non-existent, parents may

not have enough to buy diapers. Neither WIC,

Medicare,norfoodstampscover diapers(exceptfor

hospicecare).Parents of infants may resortto trying

tostretch thediapersout,making thechildgo with-

out a change or more.

This can cause not only health problems for the

infant, buta strainonthefamilythatcanleadtoeven

more problems.

Theanswer formany istheDiaperBank, and Child

andFamilyResourcesin Mt.Arlington ishopingthe

communitycanhelpmeet theneedfor diapers.

According to statistics from Child andFamily Resources, a healthy change of dia-

pers costs $112 per month for children and

$312 per month for adults. However, full-

time work at minimum wage grosses only

about $1,160 per month; at $10/hour, it gross-

es about $1,600. Now think that the average

rent for a one bedroom apartment is $1,045

Diapers Neededper month, leaving only $115-$5 in dispos-

able income for all other expenses, including

taxes, food, transportation, clothes, and dia-

pers.

When you think about those who are

unemployed and about homeless families, the

picture is even grimmer.In some cases,the cost is not shortterm.

Manydisabled babies never outgrowthe need

for diapers, requiring them through adult-

hood. Child and Family Resources notes that

for child care, school, and job training, many

disabled children and adults require inconti-

nence supplies.

Cloth diapers are not a solution. For

adults, they arenot readily availableFor chil-

dren, child care programs require disposable

diapers for sanitary reasons.

The result of a lack of diapers or diaperchanges is not just a mess. A child who is left

in thesamedirtydiaper riskseverythingfrom

skin problems to hepatitis. Then there is the

childs reaction. The baby cries. Prolonged,

non-stop crying can become unbearable for

some parents and caregivers. Child and

Family Resources notes that children under

agethree represent28% of all abuse andneg-

lect cases.

The answer to the problem is disposable

diapers for the Diaper Bank and thats where

Child and Family services needs the commu-nitys help. There are many ways it can be

done.

Child and Family Resources offered these

ideas:

Host a Diaper Drive at your workplace,

congregation, or organization. We are in great

need of sizes 4, 5 and 6 diapers. Collect

unopened diapers at an upcoming party or

family event. Donate Dollars for Diapers bymaking a check payable to Child and Family

Resources or host a fundraising event for the

Diaper Bank at Child andFamilyResources.

Diapersare distributed through the follow-

ing affiliated organizations: Children on the

Green, Interfaith Council for Homeless

Families, Little Peoples Academy, the

Morris County Office of Temporary

Assis tance, Jersey Battered Womens

Services, NORWESCAP Early Head Start

Program, Parsippany Child Day Care Center,

Catholic Charities Hope House, HomelessSolutions and Samaritan Inn Shelter.

There are babies in need, and Child and

Family Resources is hoping that the commu-

nity will donate for those who cant help

themselves.

Earlier, in the afternoon, Ellen Chu of Park Ridge had

sat waiting for her interview with the judges. Her

platform was Overcoming Obstacles. Like all the

contestants, she wondered if she would walk away with acrown. Later that night, after the talent, swimsuit, evening

gown, and on-stage question competitions, she did. Chu

became Miss Gateway 2012. Chu, along with Cierra Kaler-

Jones (Miss Northern Lakes 2012 ) and Carissa Palumbo

(Miss Tri-County 2012 ) were among severalyoung women

who came to the Stanhope United Methodist Church in

Netcong on October 1st to compete in a preliminary to the

Miss Jersey pageant. The October pageant was part of the

Miss Americapageant system,which provides winners with

scholarships and a forum for raising awareness of issues

that are important to them. Working behind the scenes to

make the local pageants a reality are volunteers like thosewho helped with Miss Gateway, Miss Northern Lakes, and

Miss Tri-County.

To me it is a worthwhile program for women who are

trying to further their education. It is a good clean activity,

said Sharon Rosequist of Netcong, Executive Director of

the Miss Tri-County pageant. She described the contest-

ants as upbeat, confident, and poised.

I really believe in the pageant, said Jeanne Viscito of

Berkeley Heights, who is the Executive Director of the

Miss Northern Lakes pageant.

Viscito is an example of the wide range of volunteers

who help to make the pageants a reality. She is a prosecu-tor for the cityof Newark . Viscito got involvedin the pag-

eant because of Terry Karns (Executive Director of the

Miss Gateway pageant) . She belongs to the Hickory

Chapter of the Sweet Adelines, as does Karns wife. The

group not only performs at the pageant, but its members

help out in the background. Viscito started as a hostess,then became a judge and is now an executive director.

Some people get involved with the pageants because of

their daughtersinvolvement. Such is the case of Dr. Susan

Miller, an eye doctor form Ventnor, NewJersey. Her daugh-

ter, Heather (now Dr. Heather Miller) is a former Miss

Gateway. Susan Miller saw how the pageant benefited her

daughterin theway it helped her developpoise andthrough

the people she met. Now Susan Miller comes to help other

young women who are taking the same path.

Sitting near Miller, waiting for her time with the judges,

was Fiona DiGennaro, 18, of Middletown. This was her

4th pageant in her first season of competition. Sheexplained that it was a sor t of graduation [from high

school] gift. To compete, the girls need a gown and cer-

ta in accessories. While these things dont have to be

expensive, they do cost money. DiGennaros graduation

present helped her to buy what she needed. That night

DiGennaro finished as first runner-up. (Second runner-up

was Amanda Neshiewat.)

Seemingly a thousand places at once was Willadene

Karns of Stanhope, who was mom for the day. The wife

of the director of the Miss Gateway pageant, she said she

helped the girls by sewing, spraying, cajoling and consol-

ing when needed. A retired Bryam third grade teacher,Karns noted that the pageant contestants and volunteers are

like a community. Many past contestants now volunteer

their help on the day of the pageant.

For Devon Caposello, 20, of Hopatcong, this was her

first time competing in a pageant. A student at Kean

University, her grandmother had continually encouraged

Ellen Chu waits for her judges' interview. Later, Chu would be

crowned Miss Gateway 2012.

Caposello to enter a pageant and she finally

did. Caposello noted that one of the things

she liked about the pageant system was that

a requirement was that contestants had to

raise a certain amount of money for the

Childrens Miracle Network. She likes theidea of helping others. Her platform was

Youth Violence. She was personally affect-

ed by that when a friend was badly beaten

by a group of juveniles. Youth violence is

an issuetoday with youth ages 13 18 com-

mitting the violent acts.

Caposello reflected on the pageant itself.

She noted that unlike the portrayals of pag-

eants on TV, there was no back-biting there;

the young women were support ive and

helped each other.

Of course, the climax of the pageant

came during the eveningwhich was filled of

talented performances by the contestants, anappearance by the reigning Miss New

Jersey, Katharyn Nicolle, and the crowning

of the winners.

Now, for the winners, it is on to the Miss

New Jersey pageant in June and to see

whether one of October pageant winners

will assume Katharyn Nicolles crown.

Boy Scout Troop 188 of Landing

hosted an overnight event for the

second-year Webelos Cub Scouts

from Pack 188 that will be crossing over to

Boy Scouts nextFebruary. They were invit-

ed to see what they will be doing on future

Boy Scout outings and also so that they

could learn various skills important to a

Scout. They had several learning stations

for orienteering, knife safety, chopping fire-

wood, lashing and knot tying. They then

put their knot tying skills to test by building

a monkey br idge that they then crossed.

They also pitched their own tents and

learned how to cook their own dinner and

dessert over a campfire. They ended the

night with a large campfire filled with funny

skits, campfire songs, jokes and most of all

lots of laughs!

Get Ready For Summer!

(+ Refrigerant)

By Janice C. Molinari

Sometimes when a lesson comes, it hitsyou from all sides. It seems like

recently, Ive been hearing the same

thing over and over. It comes in different

voices trying to get me to pay at tention.

Maybe its time for me to really listen up

and hear the message thats being delivered.

Heres what its sayingYou already have

everything you need for your own great-

ness.

Thats shocking. And at the same time, it

feels like something Ive always known

deepdown inmy core. Iveheardtime and

again you do not GAIN something, you

UNCOVER what has been there all along,

what will always be there.

In a society thats constantly delivering the

message, you NEED the latest and the

greatest, it is no wonder this message that

is embedded in ourvery DNA, gets lost.We

know deep down that we already possess

everything we need. But somehow, we still

get dist racted by the message that what

were looking for exists in something out-

side of ourselves. Its in the latest iphone or

the slimmest laptop, its in the brand new

model of that very thing we dont really

need but must have. But the more we dis-

tract ourselves with everything thats out-

side of ourselves, the harder it is to see

whats inside.

One of my favorite childrens books is Shel

Silversteins The Missing Piece (and the

sequel, The Missing Piece Meets The Big

O). If you happen to be in the bookstore,

pop on over to the childrens aisle and give

it a read. Personally, I think its in the wrong

section entirely, it should be in the adult

Self-Help aisle. The idea is that a sweet,

little pac-man shaped character goes look-

ing for the missing piece that he thinks will

make him whole, only to discover in the

end, that theres nothing really missingfrom

his l ife after all. The search for what he

thinks is missing was only a dist raction

from seeing the beauty of the fullness of his

life. Oh, by the way, if you come to my

house, youll find both of those books on

my shelf, my most prized literary material!

When you begin to learn to trust that you

have everything you need, life just gets eas-

The Missing Peaceier. We carry our greatness within us, we

just need to remove the clut ter and let it

shine. We need to stop searching for the

thing that we think will make us complete,

we need to stop looking for our Missing

Peace and real ize that we are already

whole and beautifulall on our own.

Janice C. Molinari is the owner of Ananda

Yoga located in Mendham, NJ . Join her at

the studio on October 27th at 8pm for her

FREE monthly workshop, The

Conversation. A discussion group about

what really matters in life. Visit anandayo-

gamendham.com for details.

drawings, large weavings, small

pic tures made with markers, and otherexciting and diverse artworks are displayed

on the second floor of the Sussex County

Judicial Center in Newton. The exhibit ,

27, showcases artists with special needs and

proves that these artists are both able and

inspired. Its the work of SCARC, Inc.,

NAMI-Sussex (National Al liance for

A series labeled Group Painting wascreated by the individuals in the SCARCs

of artists worked together on a painting, but

with fingers instead of brushes. The pro-

gram offers fine art as a way for these spe-

cial individuals to express themselves and

to communicate through the language of

visual art while increasing self-esteem and

self-confidence. SCARC also has a weaving

program which services two day programsand six group homes. The achievements of

this programare apparent in the large, four-

panel weaving titled Four Seasons.

work that is for sale, please contact the

winter will have access to one of the finest,

most modern day-lodges on the east coast, a

high-tech rental facility that transports equip-

ment to the slopes for the user, five new

slopeside dining options, three new bars and

entertainment options, and the largest snow

tubing park in the country. Beginners will

enjoy newly designed teaching terrain that

will make learning to ski or snowboard easier

than ever before. More daring skiers and

snowboarders can utilize the two new

BagJump features. These inflatable stunt-

man-style landing pads, will allow guests to

experience the thrills of big airand spins with

the safety of an impact-free landing.

The improvements made this year to

Mountain Creek are nothing short of amaz-ing. We now have destination level, world-

class facilities that are well above anything

within a four-hour drive of Manhat tan.

Regardlessof if ourguests are comingfor the

day or looking to make a weekend out of it,

everything is in place to provide an incredible

experience, commented Bill Benneyan,

Mountain Creeks Chief Marketing Officer.

The technology in our rental center is truly

next level,our snowtubing park is the biggest

in the country and our terrain parks consis-

tently win national recognition. Whetheryoure looking to try snowboarding for the

first time, a seasoned skier looking to sharp-

ening their skills or a hardcore park enthusi-

ast, theres now something for everyone here

at Mountain Creek.

Details on Mountain Creeks recent

improvements include:

New Red Tail Lodge: Visitors to

Mountain Creeks blog

(http://creektalks.blogspot.com/) have

watched the extraordinary 55,000 square foot

Red Tail Lodge take shape. Merging rusticcharms with high-tech elegance, the lodge is

comprised of three floors, two bars, a fine

dining restaurant, indoor and outdoor dining

options, and a state-of-the-art rental center.

With all of these features packaged together

under one roof, the Red Tail Lodge is easily

oneof the most modern and plush day lodges

in the East.

Revolutionary New Rental Center and

Learn-To Area: Learning to ski or snowboard

can be daunting. The physical experience of

simply securingyour rental equipment can be

a tiresome process, which can make actually

getting onto the snow to learn even more

challenging than it needs to be. Mountain

Creeks new technology-driven rental system

fills out your paperwork with just the swipe

of a credit card or drivers license, and then

transports your equipment via a surface ele-

vator to the new on-snow Schoolyard

teaching area so its there waiting for you

when you arrive. No fumbling required!

Revolutionary New Rental Center andLearn-To Area Continued:

In addition, the newlearning area will fea-

turean intuitive, terrain-assisted learning par-

adigm that makes the experience of learning

to turn on snow easier, more successful, less

tiring andmore enjoyable forbeginners, com-

plete with a special Cool Schoolstation.

Action Lift Company Restaurant:A new

180-seat slopeside restaurant pays homage to

Mountain Creeks past while providing the

modern ameni ties that vis itors desire.

Located at the base of the Appalachian Hotelat Vernon Peak, the restaurant will feature a

mix of traditional home cooking and real

Southern-style BBQ. The interiorwill be dec-

orated with posters, pictures and icons repre-

senting the deep history of rollicking spirit of

invention and fun in the Vernon Valley area,

including Action Park, Great Gorge, the

Playboy Club and the rich heritage of skiing

and snowboarding in New Jersey, which

includes the headquartersof Cubco Bindings,

the first Head Ski test and early proving

grounds for snowboard pioneer, Tom Sims.The Action Lift Company is destined to be a

great place to get a drink, relax with family

for a sit down dinner or simply just unwind

on the patio and while breathing in the fresh

mountain air.


Mountain Creek... Drop Zone Snow Tubing Park: Withmore than 35 lanes totaling six miles of runs,

it will be the largest snow tubing facility in

the country. In addition to the tubing chutes,

therell be free-to-try demo skis and snow-

boards in theSnowPlay Center, so inquisitive

tubers who are eager to explore other winter

activities can do so in a low-pressure setting.

2 New BagJumpAir Bags: Get ready

to take flight. If youve ever wanted to try a

big jump without the hard landing conse-

quences, Mountain Creek is making it easier

than ever to be that daring skier or rider. Two

new BagJump air bags, which are essen-

tially inflatable landing pads that cushion

landings off of jumps, will be located at the

South Terrain Park and Vernon Base all win-

terlong. Theseare thesame landing bags that

many professional athletes use for training

and can be found at major resorts around theglobe. More information on BagJump air

bags is available online at

(http://www.bagjump.com/).

Expansive New Solar Project:

Decreasing their environmental footprint is a

majorgoal forMountain Creek. For this win-

ter Mountain Creek will be covering all of

their parking spaces with new roof-mounted

solar parking canopies, which will ultimately

generate more than eight megawatts of elec-

tricity for the resort and decrease electrical

usage by 50 percent. This is believed to be

one of the largest resort solar installations in

the US.

All of these changes come on the heels of

the successful merger of Mountain Creek

with Crystal Springs Resort in May of 2010.

Together, Crystal Springs and Mountain

Creek offer 4-season world-class amenities

including seven award-winning golf courses,

2 top-ranked spas, abundant lodging in 4

hotels including the dist inct ive Grand

Cascades Lodge, a globally-renowned

120,000 bottle wine cellar, multiple venues

for weddings, meetings and catered events,

ski and snowboard, Mountain Creek

Waterpark, Diablo Freeride mountain bike

park.

teaching Mandarin Chinese, Spanish

a nd Fr en ch t o k id s a ge s 6 m on th o ld -

rounding communities.

Bringing Lango to this area is owner-

operator and Chester NJ resident AgnesBeede. A mother of 6 Children who

became unemployed after 9 years of work-

ing at Novartis Pharmaceuticals. Agnes

started Lango a year ago after her daugh-

ter lost the Language program at her

school, now her d aughter is learnin g

New Foreign Language Program to Teach Mandarin, Spanishand French to Northwest NJ-area

Spanish, French and Chinese after she

decided to become entrepreneur.

Convinced of the importance of learningnew languages when traveling overseas,

Agnes says that America fal ls far short

when i t comes to a key aspect of get ting

along in an increasingly global society.

Jo in ing forces wi th San Franc isco -

based Lango, Agnes has hi red native-

speaking and certified teachers who use a

proprietary curriculum, teaching classes in

local schools , communi ty centers and

other facil it ies. Lango classes employ

music , movement, playact ing, games,

reading and writing and art activities in ahigh-energy environment.

We str ive to reach every chi ld in the

manner that best suit s their le arning

style, continues Aggie. We believe that

every child should learn another language,

and that every child can learn another lan-

guage. Our teachers work really hard to

ensure that we make good on this belief.

Foreign language instruction among

young chi ldren has indeed gained wide

acceptance in recent years as numerous

s tudies have shown tha t l ea rn ing lan-guages early in life impacts a child in a

variety of ways. In addition to being able

to speak the language devoid of accents

that teenagers and adults typically appro-

priate, children benefit through accelerat-

ed cognitive development, which has been

shown to result in stronger achievement in

other subject, including math and reading,

and even in higher test scores.

When youre learning a second lan-

guage not long after learning your f irst ,

your brain isnt so cluttered, and its notanchored to the sounds and patterns you

already know, says Aggie. They say

those little kids are like sponges, and its

really true; I see it every day in our class-

es, as they soak it up readily and naturally.

Its a blast to watch happen.

A

cupuncture and Oriental MedicineDay is observed annually on

October 24. It is part of an effortdesigned to increase public awareness of theprogress, promise, and benefits ofAcupuncture and Oriental medicine. ThisAncient Medicine has been practiced forthousands of years in China, but has onlygained popularity in the U.S over the past25 years. Although 36% of U.S adults haveused complementary and alternative medi-cine, many healthcare consumers are stillunaware of alternative healthcare optionsand their vast benefits. In fact, everyonecan benefit from Acupuncture whetherseeking help for an existing health issue or

just to promote overall wellness and to helpprevent future issues. Acupuncture is anevidence-based modality and research fromthe National Institute of Health proves thatAcupuncture is effective for use in painmanagement, osteoarthritis, postoperativeor chemotherapy-related nausea, addiction,stroke rehabilitation, infertility and asthma,among others. In addition, The WorldHealth Organization declaresAcupunctures efficacy in relieving anxiety,

panic disorders, insomnia and forty-twoother medical conditions.

In attempts to raise awareness aboutAcupuncture in my own community, I am

sharing some of these Acupuncture Factswith you!What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a modality of TraditionalChinese Medicine that requires the insertionof tiny filiform needles into various pointson the body. Acupuncture and ChineseMedicine originated in Ancient China thou-sands of years ago. The Ancient Chinesediscovered that every living being has ener-gy that flows through invisible meridians(energy lines) throughout the body. Thisenergy, known as "Qi" is the motive lifeforce. In healthy individuals the Qi flowssmoothly through the channels/ meridians.Imbalance in the flow of Qi results in illnessand/or disease.

Think of a garden hose. Water flowssmoothly through the hose as long as thereare no kinks. When a kink occurs, the waterbuilds up on one side of the kink preventingthe water from flowing through. Now envi-sion 14 garden hoses attached to one anoth-er and arranged within the body. Each hoseis connected to an organ in the body. You

can see how a kink in just one of the hosescan affect all the other hoses/organs

throughout the body. The kink or block-age results in illness and/or disease.

Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine isused to restore the smooth flow of Qi (i.e.remove all the kinks) and bring the bodyback to balance.

If you are still following then you areprobably wondering how the kinks origi-nate in the first place. Our Qi or energycan become kinked or blocked from phys-ical/emotional trauma, stress, poor lifestyleand eating habits, seasonal changes, over-exertion, and exposure to the elements(wind, cold, dampness, heat). But have nofearAcupuncture is here!How does Acupuncture Work?

There are several theories regarding theAcupuncture mechanism. Acupuncturehelps the body to do what it was meant todo- heal itself. Some of the most commontheories include:

- Acupuncture stimulates the release ofendorphins, which relieve pain

- Acupuncture stimulates the release ofneurotransmitters (substances that thattransmit nerve impulses to the brain

-Acupuncture has a profound effect on

the Autonomic Nervous System- Acupuncture stimulates circulation- Acupuncture enhances the bodys

immune response- Acupuncture influences the electrical

currents of the bodyThe most common question of all

Does Acupuncture Hurt?Extremely fine needles are used in the

treatment of Acupuncture, making the expe-rience almost painless. Most patients don'teven feel the needles being inserted. The

Acupuncture needles used are as fine as afew hairs on your head. All of my patientsfind their Acupuncture treatments to be veryrelaxing. In fact, most people fall asleepduring their treatment.What is a typical Acupuncture treatment

like?

Upon arrival the patient is asked to fillout a detailed health history questionnaire.Then, the acupuncturist will review thehealth history with the patient and go overthe patients primary health concern andlifestyle. The acupuncturist will take the

patient's pulses and look at his/her tongue(In Chinese medicine the tongue and pulsesare representative of the variousorgan/meridian systems and help in thediagnostic process).

After the interview, the practitioner willcome up with a diagnosis and treatmentplan for the patient. The treatment plan isspecific to the individual- not their disease.

Then, the needles will be inserted intovarious acupuncture points. The patientmay feel a heaviness or tingling sensation

around the needle insertion site. The nee-

dles are typically retained for 20-30 min-utes.

How many Acupuncture treatments areneeded?

The number of Acupuncture treatmentsneeded is based on the severity and chronic-ity of the condition. However, mostpatients experience some relief after thevery first treatment.What kinds of needles are used in an

Acupuncture Treatment?

Tiny filiform needles are used forAcupuncture treatment. All of the needlesare disposable, pre-sterilized and prepack-aged. After each treatment, the needles arethrown away and new needles are usedevery time.Are there any side effects of Acupuncture

treatment?

Most people do not experience any sideeffects from Acupuncture. Occasionally,minor bruising can occur at the needle site.What does Acupuncture treat?

Acupuncture is effective in treating vari-ous disorders and symptoms including, butnot limited to the following: Addiction,Anxiety, Arthritis, Tendonitis & Joint Pain,

Asthma, Auto Injuries, Chronic FatigueSyndrome, Common Cold & Influenza,Constipation, Degenerative Disk Disorders,Depression, Facial Rejuvenation,Fibromyalgia, Headaches, Indigestion, Gas,Bloating, Infertility, Insomnia, Menopausesymptoms, Migraines, Morning Sickness,Musculoskeletal pain, Nausea, OrthopedicConditions, Pain, PMS & MenstrualIrregularities, Reproductive Issues, SportsInjuries, Stress, Tendonitis, SmokingCessation and Weight management.

What does it take to become anAcupuncturist?

In addition to obtaining a Bachelorsdegree, Acupuncturists are required toundergo 3 years of schooling at an accredit-ed Acupuncture school. Acupuncture pro-grams consist of various classes in the areasof Acupuncture and Biomedicine as well asa full year of a clinical internship to obtainthe experience of treating patients.

The National Certification Commissionof Acupuncture and Oriental Medicinerequires that Acupuncturists take 3 National

Board Examinations to test proficiency andknowledge in the areas of Acupuncture,Theory and Biomedicine.

The State of New Jersey requires anadditional Licensing Board Examination toobtain licensure in New Jersey.

Once licensed, Acupuncturists arerequired to take Continuing EducationCourses every year.

Having friends and family over for the holidays does-

nt have to be difficult. With these tips and a savory

recipe from the all new Entertaining Chapter of

the latest edition of the Betty Crocker Cookbook, (Wiley,

2011), experienced and novice hosts can pull off a festive

party with ease.

Setting a Buffet Table

Buffets are a great option when the gathering is less for-

mal or youre short on table space.

Buffets can be set up on a variety of surfaces, includ-ing a center island or counter, dining room table, sideboard

or folding table. Allow ample room for people to move

around the serving area.

Arrange buffet items starting with the main course and

then the side dishes, salad, condiments, bread, flatware,

with glasses and napkins last.

Make cutlery bundles for easier carrying.

If people will be standing to eat, skip paper plates and

use dishes or plastic plates. If you must use paper, make

sure they are heavy-duty. Avoid serving foods that require

cutting.

What to Serve

Cheese plates are a great idea for an easy and elegant

buffet. When selecting cheese, aim for variety try mixing

textures (soft, semisoft, hard and very hard) and flavors

(mellow and sharp). Plan on at least 2 ounces of cheese per

person. Here are some delicious cheese plate combinations:

Flavored cheddar, like chipotle, queso blanco and pep-

per Jack. Serve with grapes, pickled chiles, dates, grape

tomatoes.

Gruyre, Havarti and blue or Gorgonzola. Serve with

apple and pear slices, dried apricots, olive assortment. Chvre (goat cheese), Colby, cream cheese. Serve with

chives, crackers, breads, chutney.

Instead of serving a typical dip, try this scrumptious

Smoked Salmon Cheesecake. Its one of more than 1500

recipes featured in the 11th edition of the Betty Crocker

Cookbook. In this edition youll find hundreds of new

recipes, brand new features, all new photography and plen-

ty of helpful tips and techniques.

With the new Learn to Make feature to guide you

through recipes, youll become an expert in no time. And

the Heirloom Recipe and New Twist feature brings many

classic dishes to life alongside up-to-date recipe versions

kle with toasted pistachios. Garnish with
