| Dear Friend: |
I am often grateful for the area in which I have settled down to raise a family. I am continually amazed at the quality events and organizations we have in our area. My kids are currently getting ready for the Richwood Fair. My oldest child is 13 and she believes fair time has overtaken Christmas as her favorite time of year!
We are very fortunate to have such a great fair in our area. I also know the Marion County, Logan County and Union County Fairs are great places for kids to learn about agriculture. I am very appreciative for the individuals that work hard to provide the opportunities we have at the fairgrounds.
I found out about another great program in Union County this month that really impressed me. The United Way of Union County has partnered with the Dolly Parton Foundation to provide books to young children. At no cost to the families, children can get a new, age appropriate, book every month from birth untill 5 years old!
The books are paid for by the Foundation and the shipping costs are covered by the United Way. If you live in Union County and know someone with children under 5, tell them to contact the United Way to get signed up for this incredible program. We all know reading is vital to a child's education, and parents reading to their children is still one of the best ways to get them interested in books.
Enjoy the rest of the summer and hope to see you at the Richwood Fair!

| Getting to know your banker! | 
Hi, my name is Tammy Hayward. I live in Richwood with my husband Jeremy, and our four children. I have been working part time in the operations department since September 2004. After graduating from Elgin High School, I went to Ohio Wesleyan University and then Miami University to earn a bachelor's degree in exercise science and health studies, respectively. I am also a certified personal trainer.
I enjoy spending time with my family and being outdoors. I spend most of my time watching my children participate in various church, school, and athletic events which I really enjoy. |

COOKS CORNER | |
Caramel Apples
6 small red apples, such as Braeburn, Gala, or Pink Lady
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 1/2 Tbs unsalted butter cut into 3 pieces
Wash the apples and dry them very well. Remove the stems. Insert a popsicle stick, chopstick, or sturdy bamboo skewer through the stem end of each. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a nonstick baking liner.
Combine the sugar and lemon juice in a 3-qt. saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a heatproof spatula, until the sugar melts ans turns a medium amber color, 4 to 7 minutes. Take the pan off the heat and carefully pour in the cream (the mixture will bubble ferocuously). When the bubbles start to subside, carefully add the butter all at once and stir with the spatula to blend. Let the caramel cool for 3 minutes.
Tilt the pan so that the caramel pools to one side, and carefully dip an apple in the caramel, twirling it around a few times to coat it almost all the way up to the stick. Lift the apple out of the caramel and continue to twirl the apple at an angle over the pan to let the caramel run up toward the stem end (this minimizes the carmel pooling on the baking sheet). Scrape the bottom of the apple against the side of the pan to remove excess caramel and set on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining apples. Refrigerate the apples until the caramel sets, about 15 minutes. |
| FYI |
A 26 year old man decided to have a cup of coffee. He took a cup of water and put it in the microwave to heat it up, something he had done numerous times before. He wanted to bring the water to a boil. When the timer shut off, he removed the cup from the oven. As he looked into the cup, he noted that the water was not boiling, but suddenly the water in the cup "blew up" into his face. The cup remained intact until he threw it out of his hand, but all the water had flown out into his face due to the buildup of energy. His whole face is blistered and he has 1st & 2nd degree burns to his face, which may leave scarring. He also may have lost partial sight in his left eye. While at the hospital, the doctor who was attending to him stated that this is a fairly common occurrence and water (alone) should never be heated in a miciwave. If water is heated in this manner, something should be in the cup to diffuse the energy such as a wodden stir stick, tea bag, etc. (nothing metal)
To prevent this from happening and causing injury, do not heat any liquid for more than two minutes per cup. After heating, let the cup stand in the microwave for thirty seconds before moving it or adding anything into it. |
