I am the GreatestBy AMBROSIA NELDON
BENTON HARBOR —Everyone has heroes — famous musicians, profes-sional athletes, renowned authors.
No matter where that inspiration comes from, orga-nizers of the I am the Greatest project in Benton Harbor feel it is important for youth to have positive role models to look up to, and hundreds of people in the community support that mission.
During four sessions throughout the year, stu-dents from the Benton Harbor area attend classes at the ARS Gallery with a curriculum based on famous boxer Muhammed Ali’s mantra, “I am the Greatest.”
“They learn everything from color theory to design, and they’re learning it with Ali quotes. They’re writing their own quotes, their own lyrical poetry,” said Anna Russo-Seiber, owner of the
ARS Gallery. “Using Muhammad Ali as a role model and muse helps them follow through with things and work through adversity. Life is tough and that’s how it is, and we kind of show them how to work through things — life skills, really, with art.”
Students are served a full dinner every night and attend classes in various art mediums.
“It’s an expensive pro-gram, and that’s why fund-raisers like these are so cru-
cial,” Russo-Seiber said.On Friday, Sept. 5,
members of the community will be invited to help out the cause at the Second Annual I am the Greatest Beach Bash at the ARS Gallery, hosted in a collab-orative effort by the gallery and Third Coast Surf Shop.
Visitors will enjoy life entertainment by Morgan Ingle, Cam Mammina and Jenna Mammina, hula hoop dancing, a skateboard judg-ing contest and much more. Artists will be live at work painting large beach paint-ings, to be auctioned at the end of the night. “Beach” food, including barbeque pulled pork sliders, kettle chips, an edible still-life fruit and vegetable master-piece will be served, as well as wine and craft beer and other refreshments.
Mark Durocher will emcee the entire event, including a unique silent auction with items ranging from a surfboard, artwork, tropical plants, free art
classes, gift certificates and an authentic Muhammad Ali suit.
Tickets are $35 if pur-chased in advance, and $40 at the door. Tickets include drink, food and entertain-ment. Tickets can be pur-chased through www.eventbrite.com.
“In the school it’s not
just the arts that are cut. The writing and composi-tion and comprehension are all kind of hurting, too. And it’s not just schools in Benton Harbor. It’s schools everywhere.” Russo-Seiber said. “Once you get started, seriously nobody wants this program to end, includ-ing the teachers and myself.
This is so important.”For more information,
contact the ARS Gallery at (269) 208-4409, email [email protected], or go to annarussoart.com.

Uncovering local historyDowagiac Area History Museum unveils fall lecture series
How did George Washington deal with American
Indian tribes during his military days and during his time as President? What did Thomas Jefferson think about the diverse groups of tribes across the nation?
Dr. Jeff Dennis of Southwestern Michigan College will answer those questions and many more when he kicks off the Dowagiac Area History Museum’s Fall Lecture Series on Wednesday, Sept.
3 at 6:30 p.m. with his pro-gram, “Patriots and Indians: How the Founding Fathers Engaged Native Americans.”
Dennis, a full-time instructor at SMC, received his doctorate from the University of Notre Dame with a dissertation examin-ing the Founding Fathers’ interactions with American Indian tribes. His disserta-tion is in the process of being published by the University of South Carolina Press with a release date scheduled for
spring 2015. Future programs in the
series will be Jim Scholtz of Southwest Michigan Underwater Preserve pre-senting “What Lies Beneath [Lake Michigan]” on Oct. 1; former Kincheloe Elementary School princi-pal Dan Smith talking about Captain Kincheloe’s X-2 Flight on Nov. 5; and the series concludes on Dec. 3 with Museum Director Steve Arseneau examining the lives of Round Oak employees with “Round Oak Workers and Their Homes.”
The programs are free to museum members and costs $5 to non-members. Children under 18 years of age are also free.
Membership will be available at the museum for those interested. The muse-um is located at the corner of Division and West Railroad Streets. For more information, call the Dowagiac Area History Museum at (269) 783-2560 or visit www.dowagiacmu-seum.info.

When you say it with
f lowers, say it with ours.
Don't let their reputation fool you, beans are great
I’d like to take some time to talk about beans and how wonderful
they are.Not only are they loaded
with protein and fiber, but they are an excellent and inexpensive way to stay full. I always keep a can of beans around for a quick meal in a pinch, but dried beans are so much better and way less expensive.
years ago, I was bogged down by the idea of how long it takes beans to cook. It just seemed kind of pro-hibitive because who has two hours to make dinner? Nobody I know, that’s for sure!
Then, I discovered crockpot beans and it totally changed my world. If you follow my column, you know that I’m a big propo-nent of making a large quantity of key ingredients at once, on the days you have time, and then using them throughout your week as your schedule gets crazy. This simple prep is a great way to save time, money, and pounds.
If you have potatoes
already cooked, a dish full of beans, and some washed and rinsed carrots or broccoli, you can throw together a great healthy meal on the fly.
Crockpot black beans are now an essential for me in my weekly prep. I’ve been tossing them in sal-ads, serving with greens and potatoes, and just heat-ing up a small dish as a pre-workout snack.
Last week I even added 1 ½ cups millet and an extra cup of water about 1 ½ to 2 hours before they were done for a grain and bean combo variation. you can make this same basic recipe with any dried bean that has a long cook-time. I wouldn’t recommend len-tils or navy beans since they cook pretty fast. Get creative and keep these sat-isfying legumes in stock!

CUISINE SCENE GET OUT!
By D. E. Messick
SOUTH BEND — Next Saturday, hundreds of guests will visit the exot-ic animals that call Potawatomi Zoo
home. Unlike other weekends, though, they can do it with a beer in hand.
Organizers say the event is the zoo’s only beer tasting event of the year and the largest fundraiser of the year, as well, with around 1,400 people in attendance every season.
So far, there are 18 vendors on deck for the event with almost twice that making their preparations to attend. Vendors will be scattered throughout the zoo grounds, allowing attendees the opportunity to visit the animals while they enjoy their samples.
Forty tables of craft beer will be avail-able for sampling, including vendors from Back Road Brewery, Quality Wine and Ale Supply, Burn ‘Em Brewing, Crooked Ewe Brewery & Ale House, Stiegl Cavalier, Michiana Brewery’s Supply, Chapin Park Brewers, South Bend BrewWerks, Bell’s Brewery, Bare Hands Brewery, Iechyd Da Brewing Company, Indiana Beverage, United Beverage and Michiana Extract & Grain Association.
Every attendee will receive a few beer mug for tasting and to take home as a souvenir.
“For what we charge for our event, there’s no way you could go to the bar and
try as many craft beers for this price,” said Rachael Rogers, event coordinator for the Potawatomi Zoo.
Live entertainment for the event is a musician from New york City who goes by the name, Micah. He is described as an Indy rock acoustic musician who has opened up for big names such as young and the Giants.
Food, beer and entertainment is all included in the ticket price of $40 for gen-eral admission or $35 for zoomembers, and the added benefit is all proceeds fund the local zoo.
“Any money that is spent at the zoo stays at the zoo,” Rogers said.
T-shirts will also be available for pur-chase at the event, and the concessions will be open with other food items for purchase.
The Zoo Brew will be held from 4 – 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 6, prior to the Notre Dame v. Michigan football game.
Those interested in attending should call the zoo at (574) 235-9800, go online, or visit any admissions gate to purchase tickets.
