See HELLO on page 11 SLOW COOKER STEW MEALS IN Monica's MINUTES By Monica Sinclair It's finally fall, one of my favorite times of year! I can start to wear my hoodies and jeans again, and soups and stews are definitely a must. So, of course, I had to start this first week of fall off with a stew recipe. It uses a few more ingredients than usual, but it will definitely be worth it. Imagine coming home after a cool, fall day, opening the door and smelling the wonderful aroma com- ing from your crock pot. Enjoy! INGREDIENTS • 1 pound beef stew meat • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) beef broth • 1 can (11-1/2 ounces) V8 juice • 2 celery ribs, chopped • 2 medium carrots, chopped • 1 medium sweet onion, chopped • 3 bay leaves • 1/2 teaspoon salt • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme • 1/2 teaspoon chili pow- der • 1/4 teaspoon pepper • 2 tablespoons corn- starch • 1 tablespoon cold water • 1/2 cup frozen corn • 1/2 cup frozen peas DIRECTIONS 1. In a 3-qt. slow cooker, combine the first 12 ingredi- ents. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or until meat is tender. Discard bay leaves. 2. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water un- til smooth; stir into stew. Add corn and peas. Cover and cook on high for 30 minutes or until thickened.

Each one of these greetings, along with many others, is the gateway for so- cial interaction. Social interaction with others helps create a culture of inclusion and acceptance. According to Ferris State University, inclusion is involvement and empower- ment, where the inherent worth and dig- nity of all people is recognized. Why is inclusion important in our schools and communities? Heartland Community College has created the HEIP (Heartland Equity and Inclusion Project), which identified the following reasons that inclusion is im- portant: 1. Inclusion molds the values of the next generation of children. • Students see a person first and the person's disability second. • Students learn to practice empathy and appreciate the value of diversity. 2. Inclusion provides opportunities for friendships. • The development of friendships re- quires close proximity and a common ex- perience. Keeping children together en- courages both objectives. • Students develop a comfortable way to interact with students with disabilities. • Children with disabilities attend the same school as their neighborhood friends. 3. Inclusion prepares individuals for adult life in the community. • Today's classmates are tomorrow's employers and co-workers. • Community life includes people of all abilities. 4. Inclusion helps create family-like so- cial structures outside of the home. • Siblings can be educated together at the same school. • Parents are not stretched between two or more school settings. 5. Inclusion cultivates an enriched learning environment. • Additional resources (therapists, special educators, etc.) in the classroom benefit all children. • Diversified teaching strategies and the common use of modifications and ad- aptations ensure everyone can be part of the learning process. • Children with disabilities learn from typically developing peers who can act as role models, making them more likely to develop appropriate social and communi- cation skills. What is the opposite of inclusion and why is it important? Social isolation is a feeling or sense of not belonging. It is overwhelming and in many cases debil- itating to a person's functioning. When feeling isolated from others, loneliness and invisibility can consume a person's thoughts and behaviors, causing a sig- nificant increase in self-harm or harm of others.
