Paid for by Frank Coleman for Sheriff ZERO POINT CHEESECAKE By Monica Sinclair As you all know, I started Weight Watchers last week. Well, this week, one of my coworkers, who is also on Weight Watchers, was having a birthday so I decided to try to find a dessert that we could enjoy without feeling guilty and ruining our diets. I came across a zero point cheesecake and thought I would give it a try. I added in blueberries to jazz it up with a little more flavor. While it isn't quite the same as a regular cheesecake, it was still delicious and something I will make again. Enjoy! Note: This serves 8, so keep in mind that 1/8 of the cheesecake is zero points. But if you want two pieces, you can still do it for one point. INGREDIENTS • 3 eggs • 3 cups fat free, no added sugar, plain Greek yo- gurt • 1 small box of fat free, sugar free, instant cheesecake pudding flavor • 3 tablespoons of Stevia or Splenda • 1 tablespoon of vanilla or almond extract • 1 cup of blueberries or any fruit of your choos- ing (optional) DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2. Spray a pie dish or 9 inch spring form pan with a non-fat cooking spray. 3. In a large bowl, mix eggs, Stevia, and vanilla ex- tract, beat well. 4. Add dry pudding mix and yogurt, mix well. Fold in blueberries or any other kind of fruit if you choose. 5. Pour into dish and bake for 30 minutes. 6. Allow to cool completely, then place in refriger- ator. 7. Chill for a minimum of 2 hours or overnight.

It's a time to cele- brate the end of the school year and re- member for the rest of their lives. Unfortunately too often prom and grad- uation night end tragically for teens that die from drink- ing and driving or alcohol poisoning. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Ad- ministration, one in three deaths from alcohol-related inci- dents occurs during prom or graduation weekend. Drug-Free Action Alliance has devel- oped a public aware- ness campaign to provide parents with accurate infor- mation about the health risks of under- age drinking and the legal consequenc- es of providing alcohol to youth. The campaign encourages parents and the community to send a unified message that teen alcohol consumption is not ac- ceptable at prom and graduation time. It is illegal, unsafe and unhealthy for anyone under age 21 to drink alcohol. Here are the facts: • Parents who give alcohol to their teen's friends under any circumstanc- es, even in their own homes, are break- ing the law. • Parents who knowingly allow a person under 21 to remain in their home or on their property while con- suming or possessing alcohol can be prosecuted and everything associated with such a violation can be confiscat- ed, including personal property. • Parents can be sued if they give alcohol to anyone under 21 and they, in turn, hurt someone, hurt themselves or damage property. Parents play a major role in their children's choices about alcohol and other drugs. Underage use of alcohol is a serious problem that too often leads to harmful consequences for youth and their families. Parents can help their teens and their friends remain safe by taking re- sponsibility, getting involved and set- ting limits. Always be clear about your expectations. You may have talked many times about healthy choices, but it's impor- tant to be very clear about no alco- hol use before the age of 21. Parents should discuss the dangers of a) drink- ing and driving and b) getting into a car with a drunk driver. Present possible scenarios and what to do in these situations. Set a cur- few that you can be awake for. Make sure teens are home at the agreed-up- on time and you see them walk in the door. Use that time to hear details of their evening. If hosting a party, do not serve or allow alcohol. An adult who provides alcohol to a minor is breaking the law and risking that teen's life. Indi- ana passed a social host liability law in 2014 which prohibits anyone from "furnishing property for the purpose of enabling minors to consume alcohol." Parents and teens are encouraged to make the decision before spring events to be safe, which means staying alco- hol-free. Make sure your teen under- stands your expectations and the con- sequences. Healthy choices and good communication can create those hap- py memories that last a lifetime.
