crow flies).

Kitchen Corner
Fresh Strawberry Pie
Ingredients:
5 cups strawberries
1/3 cup lemon juice
½ cup sugar
2 tbsp. cornstarch
1 envelope gelatin (Knox)
¾ cup low-fat vanilla yogurt
½ cup whipping cream
½ cup tsp. vanilla
1 baked 9” pastry shell or graham cracker crust
• Rinse strawberries and drain on towels; hull fruit. Thickly slice 3
cups of the prettiest berries and set aside. Reserve 1 whole berry for
garnish. In a blender or food processor, whirl remaining berries with
lemon juice until pureed.
• In a 2 quart saucepan, mix sugar, cornstarch, gelatin, and pureed
berries. Cook, stirring often, over medium heat until mixture comes
to a full boil, about 6 minutes. Stir in yogurt; chill until slightly
thickened, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, with an electric mixer, beat cream and vanilla until soft
peaks form. Gently fold cream and sliced berries into cool berry
mixture. Pour into pastry shell or graham crust; chill until firm, at
least 3 hours or until next day.
• Serves 8.
Keep Our Children
Safe
Sexual Predators and
• Public awareness regarding sexual predators and offenders is running
high since the recent abduction of Jessica Lunsford in Florida. Since the
Offenders
school year is coming to a close and our children will be playing outside,
swimming at our neighborhood pool and staying home alone while their
parents work, it is important that we are aware of these criminals who
prey on children.
• The Warren County Sheriff recently notified the homeowners’ of a
neighboring community (Vista Point) that a sexual predator had
registered his home address on a street adjacent to their community.
• Check out this website (http://www.esorn.ag.state.oh.us/Secured/p1.aspx)
so you are aware of where the sexual predators and offenders live and
work in our community.
• Check out this website to determine if your child has mastered safety
skills granting them privileges and responsibilities.

Tips to Follow:
1. Teach your children to never talk to strangers, or to get into a car with
someone they do not know.
2. Teach your child to scream. “This is not my mother” or “This is not my
father”, if someone tries to take them away.
3. Your child should be able to recognize department store employees in
case they get lost. Teach them to go directly to them or have them locate a
mom with children to help.
4. Teach your kids to “Stop, Drop, & Roll” for fire emergencies.
5. Create a secret password that only you and your child knows.
6. Teach them to never open the door to strangers when home alone.
7. Explain to them that you must always know exactly where they are.
8. If they see a gun, teach them not to touch it, then to call an adult.

Community Volunteers Needed
Often, short little projects arise, which would enhance the community and save the
Association some money. Projects like planting, cleanup, distributing flyers, etc. are all
great opportunities to show your support of Stone Brook and to meet more neighbors.
These activities are also great for your school age students that may need community
service credits. If you have students who need community service time, please contact
Debbie Clark at 494-2236 or email Dac1054@aol.com.
