Fairfield DD’s Brain
Plummer did not, for the
record, cry over spilled
milk while volunteering
at Tarhe Trails Elementary
School during United
Way’s Community
Care Day. Brian and
over 40 other Fairfield
DD employees pitched
in to help throughout
the county. While Brian
was on lunch room patrol,
other volunteers
were picking up litter
and painting garage
doors for the Lancaster
Recreation and Parks
Department. See Brian,
you really didn’t have it
so bad.
Thanks to everyone
who lent a hand and to
all who have donated
to this year’s campaign.
It’s National Apple Month!
OSU reports eating one apple a day for four
weeks lowered blood levels of oxidized LDL, the
“bad cholesterol,” by 40%. Here are a few
unique ways to get your apple fix:
APPLE SALSA
Combine:
2 cups apples, halved, cored, and chopped
3/4 cup (1 large) Anaheim chili pepper, seeded
and chopped
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup lime juice
Salt and pepper to taste
APPLE S’MORES
Replace the graham cracker in your s’mores
with sliced pink lady apples.
GRILLED APPLES
Slice apples thickly and toss with a little lemon
juice. Place the apple slices on the grate, turning
them every couple of minutes, until marked
and tender, about 3-5 minutes. Serve alone or
with drizzled honey or maple syrup.
Monica Cooperrider of Fairfield DD’s Resource Management
team went head to head with the game
Aggravation during the all-staff training day in Pickerington
last month. While she didn’t get the win,
she did walk away with a sweet candy prize. Congratulations
to the Quality Assurance Team on a fun
and informative day of learning.!
