RASPBERRY REFRESHER MEALS IN Monica's MINUTES By Monica Sinclair I don't normally put recipes in for drinks, but I thought why not? This one looks easy and sounds de- licious. Not too mention, on a hot, summer day, what could be better than a berry-flavored cold drink. Enjoy! INGREDIENTS • 8 cups fresh or frozen raspberries, thawed • 1-1/2 cups sugar • 2/3 cup cider vinegar • 2-1/2 cups cold water, divided • 2 liters ginger ale, chilled DIRECTIONS 1. In a large saucepan, crush the berries. 2. Stir in sugar, vinegar and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes. 3. Strain to remove seeds; refrigerate. Just before serving, stir in ginger ale and remaining water. Serve over ice.

The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, which has sold over 30 million copies in over 40 languages, is one of the most significant business books of all time. Dr. Stephen Covey's lifelong mis- sion was to "unleash the human poten- tial." The seven Habits are the accumu- lated wisdom he blended into a compre- hensive framework that allows one to be effective in their work and personal life. The seven habits have the ability to not only introduce skills like goal setting, organization, time management, team work, conflict management, collaboration and communication, but those already fa- miliar with the habits can also strength- en these skills. There are steps to help create habits that help you personally, and there are other steps that help you deal with and understand others. Ultimately the hope is that the participant will experience re- newal – knowing that to be your best you need to feel your best mentally, physical- ly, emotionally and spiritually. The seven habits were developed to help people deal with issues that can ham- per their productivity, creativity and per- sonal health. But can they also apply to dealing with the coronavirus? Let's ex- amine the fourth habit—think win-win. Before we can truly have a win-win at- titude, we need to have mastered the first three habits, known collectively as the "Private Victory." If we're insecure and feel threatened by other people's success, it will be hard for us to ever feel happi- ness for someone else or share recogni- tion and praise. We need to remember two things. First, competition can be healthy. It drives us to improve, to reach and stretch. Without it we might never know how far we can push ourselves. Competition becomes dark when you tie your self-worth to winning or use it to place yourself above others. Second, comparing ourselves to others is always a bad idea. We're all on different levels—socially, emotionally, physically. The benefit of thinking win-win is that it creates a foundation for getting along with others. It begins with the belief that we are all equal, that no one is inferior or superior to anyone else. Most of us can remember being in a win-lose situation where someone else got the glory and al- though we did our best, we didn't get rec- ognized for it with an award or praise. There may be a time where we know we can't handle a situation and have a lose- lose attitude, which means that if I'm go- ing down, I'm taking you with me. Or knowing that we never seem to be the best at something, we may feel we're defi- nitely the loser so we allow others to go ahead and walk all over us. You can feel the shift in thinking when all of us can win in any situation. Given the world's current concerns, how can we have a win-win attitude? If I just stocked up on toilet paper and my sister needs several rolls for her family, do I say no? Should I perhaps arrange a trade? How can I share and feel like I didn't lose in this? How can I take care of myself and my family and still make sure others have that same security? A quote by author George Elliot sums up habit four: "What do we live for, if not to make life less difficult for each other? " This column is written by Diane Braun, project manager for Youth First, Inc., a lo- cal nonprofit dedicated to strengthening youth and families. Youth First provides 65 Master's level social workers to 85 schools in 11 Indiana counties. Over 60,000 youth and families per year have access to Youth First's school social work and after-school programs that prevent substance abuse, promote healthy behaviors, and maximize student success.
