Zuc- chini can be a tough one, because it does have a very distinct taste and let’s face it, it’s green. Anything green usually is not very appetizing to those picky eaters. With grilling being one of the most prevalent cooking methods this time of year, zucchini is great for the grill. It can be halved, sea- soned simply and grilled for a great side dish or hollowed out and filled with a number of things for a creative vegetarian dish. There are several varieties of zucchini that include black beauty, courgette, and golden. Most gro- cery store varieties are dark green or striped though. When choosing zucchini, look for ones that are fair- ly heavy and shiny with unblem- ished rinds. They should also be average size as overly large ones can be fibrous and watery. Zucchini can be fairly fragile and should be stored in your refrigerator crisper drawer where it will hold for about seven days. Once ready to use, sim- ply wash and cut into desired shape. Zucchini are a great addition to your diet, because they are high in vitamin C, magnesium, fiber and potassium. They also provide high levels of vitamin B1, B2 and B6. They are definitely worth the effort it will take to get those picky eaters to love zucchini. For this week’s recipes, I chose a great starter recipe to ease the fam- ily into zucchini and a great grilled recipe that everyone can get involved in. The first recipe for zucchini pancakes is a great way to use zucchini if you are growing it and have abundance. It also slight- ly masks the zucchini quite well, especially when served with a yogurt sauce that can be fla- vored a million ways. The next one is a great grilled zucchini recipe that the family can add anything they like. Bon Appétit! Zucchini pancakes • 2 medium zucchini, grated • 1⁄2 red onion, grated • 2 eggs, beaten • 6 tablespoons flour • 1 teaspoon baking powder • Salt and pepper to taste • 1 tablespoon Canola oil Once the zucchini is grated, drain in a colander squeezing out excess liquid. Immediately add red onion and eggs. Add flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. Let sit for 5 minutes. Heat large skillet with oil until hot and use a large table- spoon to drop spoonfuls of the bat- ter into the pan. Cook about 2 min- utes on each side until browned. Place on a sheet pan to keep warm in the oven. Serve with greek yogurt sauce. The Corporation for National and Community Ser- vice (CNCS) announces the availability of close to $1 million in funding to help build the capacity of small and midsize nonprofits to develop and implement per- formance management systems. The funding is available through the Nonprofit Capacity Building Program, authorized by the biparti- san 2009 Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act. CNCS will provide grants to a small number of intermediary organizations to assist nonprofits in resource-poor communities in developing performance management systems to help them better measure progress and improve performance. In creating the Nonprofit Capacity Building Pro- gram, Congress recognized that many small and mid- size nonprofit organizations are challenged in their ability to sustain and expand services and that organi- zational development assistance may be necessary to ensure the continuation of much-needed services in local communities. Through grants awarded in this competition, CNCS aims to build the capacity of small and midsize non- profits to help them better deliver and demonstrate Police reports The following infor- mation is compiled from Red Bluff Police Depart- ment, Tehama County Sheriff’s Department, Corning Police Depart- ment and California Highway Patrol.

Research suggests that an established frame- work of performance management is the prerequisite and predictor of success in other aspects of nonprofit health such as financial planning and sustainability.
