When Chris Daeger wasyoung, his mother and grand-parents taught him about gar-dening and raising houseplants.
They were lessons thatwould stand Daeger — and ulti-mately visitors to the StanleyM. Rowe Arboretum in IndianHill – in good stead.
“It grew into a hobby whichlater became a livelihood onlybecause I wanted to do some-thing which I liked doing,” saidDaeger, who is arboretumman-
ager of the nine-acre haven at4600 MuchmoreRoad.
“NowIrun thearboretum, growinterestingplants at home inmy nursery, de-sign and installlandscapes, and
my hobby interest in bonsai hasevolved into a sideline ventureas well.”
Daeger recently was hon-ored for his work at the RoweArboretumwhen theCincinnatiHorticultural Society gave thearboretum a “Gardener Recog-nition Award,” saying its “con-tribution tohorticulture isan in-spiration to everyone.”
Daeger, who lives in Wil-liamsburg Township, said, “It isverynice tobenoticedandhavethe arboretum considered wor-thy of any award.”
“I guess it’s just me, but I al-ways see plenty of room for im-provement - to make our gar-dens an evenbetter place for allto enjoy the many reasons visi-tors come,” Daeger said.
Rowe Arboretum was donat-ed to Indian Hill by Stanley M.Rowe Sr. and his wife, DorothySnowden Rowe, who foundedthe arboretum in 1926 andwilled the property to the vil-lage, effective upon theirdeaths.
Dorothy Rowe died in 1982and Stanley Rowe Sr. died in1987, the year IndianHill beganoperating the arboretum.
“I started in1983,beinghiredby none other than Stanley M.Rowehimselfashishorticultur-ist,” Daeger said.
“I can honestly say I took theprivate estate and turned it intorespectable public garden.”
Daeger estimates that up to2,000 different plants call RoweArboretum home.
The arboretum has somesmall flowering and vegetableplants but primarily showcasestrees and shrubs.
“There isn’t anything I don’tlike about the job,”Daeger said.
“Being the only person at the
site does mean that whateverneeds to be done, I’m involvedwith it.
“I learned a long time agothat thispositionrequiresone todowhatever needs to be done atany time,” Daeger said.
“It’s justwhat youhave todo,kind of like life in general.May-be even more like being a par-ent.”
IndianHill CityManager Di-na Minneci praised Daeger’swork at Rowe Arboretum.
“Chris does a great job ap-preciating the true value of theRowe family’s generous landcontribution by keeping a verywell-maintained destination forthose who appreciate floralbeauty and tranquility,” Minne-
ci said.DaegerownsB.C.Nurseryat

He said people from aroundtheworldhavevisitedRoweAr-boretum, which is open dailyfrom dawn to dusk.
Admission is free, but dona-tions are appreciated.
Although Indian Hill ownsthe arboretum, the village nolonger subsidizes it.
RoweArboretum is operatedbyanon-profit organizationandfunded by a Rowe family en-dowment and fundraisers.
Daeger would love to take in
enough donations, “so thatsomeday the arboretum can beself-sufficient and support allthe good things that that collec-tions can become.”

quitted Dec. 20 of all 23 countsof conspiracy to commit bankfraud, wire fraud, mail fraudand money laundering –charges that could have puthim in prison for 30 years ifconvicted.
“It was very hard to dealwith,”Daniels said about beingpainted as a villain by subcon-tractors, his project partnersand others. “Wedid everythingwe could very early on to ex-plain thatwe had not taken anymoney we shouldn’t have,which got proven.”

to submit inaccurate in-formation to Bank ofAmerica to obtain moneyfrom a construction loanon the project. He alsowas accused of divertingthat money to other pro-jects under his directionand for personal use.
Daniels, 49, said he gotthrough the ordeal on thestrength of support fromhis wife Lori, four chil-dren, friends and inves-tors in other projects.
“There was never anywaver with the support ofmyfamily,”hesaid. “Doesthatmeanitwasn’thard, itwasn’t devastating some-times? Yes. But the lovewas there, the commit-ment to each other wasthere.”
Now that the trial isover, Daniels is turninghis attention to new realestate ventures here andin other cities.
High-profile symbolof real estate failure
Kenwood Towne Place,next to Kenwood TowneCentre mall and along In-terstate 71 in SycamoreTownship, became a sym-
bol for failed real estatedevelopments after sub-contractors began walk-ing off the job for nonpay-ment in 2008. A foreclo-sure, a bankruptcy, crimi-nal prosecutions andnumerous lawsuits fol-lowed, shutting downwork foryears on the $175million project.
Federal prosecutorshavedeclined tocommenton the case. They tried toprove that Daniels knewall along about mountingfinancial problems. Dan-iels claimed he left criti-cal details to others, andoffered solutions once helearned of problems.
“I did make certainmistakes in managingthat project, but nothingsinister,” he said thisweek.
Daniels said he lastcommunicated with theother partners in develop-er Kenwood Towne PlaceLLC – Henry Schneider,TomNeyer andTimBaird– in spring 2011.
Neyer said that he hasworkedhard to leaveKen-wood Towne Place memo-ries in thepast.Healso re-mains unswayed by Dan-iels’ acquittal.
“It is a confusing case,and Daniels’ attorneyused that in a very strate-
gic and effectiveway. Butto say that this outcomevindicates Matt or sug-gests that the head beancounter at Bear Creekwas the only bad apple inthat firm strains commonsense,” Neyer said.
Other partners couldnot be reached for com-ment.
Today, the KenwoodTowne Place site is ownedby Sycamore Township-based Phillips Edison &Co., which has resurrec-ted the project as Ken-woodCollection.A signonthe building reads “Newowner.New team.Newvi-sion.”
Phillips Edison isworking to complete con-struction and recently an-nounced that Saks FifthAvenue will be among itsanchor tenants when itsspace is complete in 2016.
“I’mexcited andhappythat that project is gettingcompleted,” Daniels said.“I’m sure I’m not the onlyone that’s tried of drivingby itandseeing itnotcom-pleted.”
Daniels’ attorney, BenDusing, said the case re-flects the weight broughtto bear on defendantswhen the federal govern-ment decides to presscharges. He said the sei-
zure of assets and accusa-tions against his client“fuels the fire” of claimshis client was a criminal.
“It’s difficult to look atMattandseehimasa littleguy,” Dusing said. “Hestarted from nothing butdid quite well and has en-joyed some success. It’snot David vs. Goliath.This is a tale that’s repeat-ed and it’s not oft under-stood by the public be-cause the perception iswhere there’s smoke,there’s fire and whenthere’s an accusation hemust have done it.”
During the trial, feder-al prosecutors broughtout15witnesses includingstar defendant-turned-witness Tina Schmidt,who servedas chief finan-cial officer at Bear CreekCapital, which Danielsalsoco-managed.Schmidttestified she rarely madea decision about projectfinances without Daniels’consent.
Daniels said this weekthat he was eager to testi-fy in his own defense.Family and supportersfilled one side of thecourtroomwhen he did.
“Iwas not going to lookmy family and children inthe eyes, my partners andcertain investors and ad-
mit I committed a crime Idid not commit,” Danielssaid. “I would’ve ratherdealt with the outcome ifwe would’ve lost.”
When asked if a pleadeal was ever considered,Daniels responded:“There was no considera-tion. Zero.”
During closing argu-ments, Dusing said thetrial basically came downto believing the versionsof events fromSchmidt orDaniels.
“In the end, she signeda bunch of stuff underoath that wasn’t true andin order to mitigate hersituation, sheplainly triedto drag down Matt,” Dus-ing said.
Daniels’ next step:Keep onworking
Daniels is now manag-ing director of Montgo-mery-based AmericanCapital Partners, formedin2008.Therealestatede-velopment company isworking on several landdevelopment projects lo-cally and in Florida andMichigan, Daniels said.He declined to share de-tails, saying projects arein sensitive, early stages.
Daniels said he’s alsoworking to wind down theaffairsofBearCreekCap-ital and Bear Creek Con-struction, the entity heformed to be general con-tractor on KenwoodTowne Place. He esti-mates he’s lost $3 millionhe invested in the project.

Senior Claire Getter(Mason), as representa-tive of Syria, was asked tospeak to the entireGener-al Assembly forum on theplight of Syrian refugees.The failure of the Securi-ty Council to resolve thecrisis thus was not unlikethe real circumstancesfacing refugees today, sothe responsibility washanded to theGeneral As-sembly for simulation.
“The contributions andsuccesses of these stu-dents in committee are atestament to the amountof study and preparationthey have dedicated toModel UN in their time atMND. I am very proud oftheir accomplishments,”said Susan Magnus, theiradviser.

INDIAN HILL — After weath-ering some early-season adver-sity, Indian Hill’s girls basket-ball team is picking up steam inhead coach Chris Arington’ssecond season at the helm.
The Lady Braves relied on abalanced roster of senior lead-ers and fearless underclassmento reel off four straight wins toclose out 2013.
Several Lady Braves basket-ballplayersalsoplayafall sportfor Indian Hill. Those soccerand volleyball players were un-able to participate in themajor-ity of the basketball team’s pre-season practices. According toArington, there were timeswhenonly fourplayerscouldat-tend practice. He recruitedboys to scrimmage against histeam.
“Wewerebehindearlydue tohave a high number of playersin fall sports,” said Arington.“Now, after getting everyonehealthy and back from othersport conflicts, we are reallyjelling.”
With projected starters get-ting a late start on the season,every single player on the ros-ter became invaluable. Whatwas an early season hindrancehas led to amidseason strength.Now,allninevarsityplayersarecontributing.
“In some ways being short-handed early got more playersinvolved that might not havehad opportunities if we had ourentire teamfromthestart,” saidArington. “That has increasedour bench production and al-lowed our defense to be much
more aggressive.”Freshman Ellie Schaub has
emerged as the team’s leadingscorer, averaging 12 points pergame. She leads the CincinnatiHills League in free throw at-tempts, a result of her fearless-ness in the paint. Through eightgames, she has attempted 63free throws and made 38; herclosest competitor in the CHLhas attempted 49, in two moregames, and made just 19.
“Asa freshman,youdon’t ex-pect her to lead the league infree throws taken, especially ather size (5’6”), but she is relent-less in attacking the basket,”
Arington said.Arington’s daughters, senior
Jessica and sophomore Sam,alongwith sophomoreLexiCar-rier carry the majority of thescoring and rebounding loadwith Schaub. Junior guard Mi-kayla Germain is the team’s un-sung hero.
“She’s my favorite type ofplayer to coach because statis-tics don’t define her,” Aringtonsaid. “She does all the dirtywork and the little things.”
Arington, who has coachedmany of these girls in AAUbas-ketball for years, learned a lotfrom his first season as a varsi-
ty head coach last year. He ledtheLadyBraves to a13-9 seasonand third place CHL finish, butexpectations were higher com-ing into this season.
“The most important thingI’ve learned is scoutingyour op-ponent. Having the opportunityto have a base knowledge of theleague and other opponents hasbeen a big help,” said Arington.“The biggest difference is hav-ing ayear to implement our sys-tem. Also, we only had one sen-ior last year and this year wehave three.”
There is little doubt that thisteam is heading in the right di-
rection. If they can stay healthyand get more shots to fall, theirdepth, energy, and defense willhave the Lady Braves poised toreclaim theCHL title after Indi-an Hill’s string of four straightleague championships endedlast season.
“Our shooting percentage,especially from the free-throwline, needs to improve,” saidArington. “We need to continueto play fast and utilize our pres-sure defense.”
TheLadyBraves hit the roadfor six straight road games in11days, beginning on Jan. 8 atMa-deira.

PRESS PREPS HIGHLIGHTS
KENWOOD — Not many highschool basketball coaches willrave over a fifth-place finish in atournament.
Moeller’s post-Christmas tripto theBeachBallClassic inMyr-tle Beach received five starts incoach Carl Kremer’s unofficialroundball travel guide.
“Of all the years we’ve beengoing to tournaments, it’s thebest organized,” Kremer said.“It’s big time how they treat youand how they do it and thecrowdsarehuge.Theygetall thetownspeople out.”
Moeller’s annual basketballtrip is paid for through teamfundraising and has become atraditional primer for the roughand tumble Greater CatholicLeague that begins this month.
The Crusaders came awaywith just one loss, against Provi-dence, Fla., 60-56 on Dec. 28.Duke recruit Grayson Allen led
Providence with 30 points, withsenior Grant Benzinger toppedMoeller with 21.
“We had a heck of a chance tobeat them,” Kremer said. “Wehad a drought in the first halfand a drought in the second halfscoring-wise. Other than that,we dominated most of the
game.”The loss gave Moeller a best
case scenario of fifth-place,which they achieved three dayslaterwith consecutivewins overover Franklin (Ohio) and BullisSchool (Maryland)Dec. 30-31.Tostart the tournament, the Cru-saders defeated Father Henry
Carr (Canada) 55-39.In addition to top notch com-
petition, Kremerwas impressedwith the crowdsalong theGrandStrand.
“Mostof thetime, it’s inahighschool gym and there’s 300 peo-ple,”Kremersaid. “Thenightweplayed Providence at the con-vention center, I’m going to betthere were 3,000 people there.”
While enjoying the sands ofthe Atlantic during the day, theCrusaders heard the typical, “Ithought you were a footballschool” comment. At night,Kremer’s gold and blue hungwith teams that equaled or sur-passed them in height and fea-tured top talent.
A local ambassadoraccompa-nied all 16 teams involved.
“I think from top to bottom,it’s the best run tournamentwe’ve been to,” Kremer said.“The community is really into it.The team that beat us by fourbeat a team fromNewYorkCityby 25. A lot of people think that

If summoned for jury duty,you are assigned either to aregular jury or a grand jury.
On regular (also called “pet-it”) jury duty you could beselected for a criminal or civilcase. In a grand jury, however,a group of citizens hears onlycriminal cases and decides ifsomeone will have to face trialfor a felony offense. A felonyis a crime that is punishable byat least one year in prison.
In Hamilton County, thegrand jury meets in the prose-cutor’s office, not at the court-house. The grand jury listensto testimony and examinesevidence presented only by theprosecution before deciding
whether to return anindictment. An indict-ment is merely a for-mal charge; it still mustbe proven beyond areasonable doubt attrial before a defendantcan be convicted.
When the prosecutorpresents a case, onlythe testifying witnessand the grand jurorsare in the room. Afterthe last witness testifies, theprosecutor and witness exit theroom so the jurors can deliber-ate and vote. Defendants mayrequest to testify, but rarely doso.
Nine grand jurors vote on
each case and eachcharge. Before votingto indict, the grandjurors must find prob-able cause that: 1, acrime was committed,and 2, that the accusedcommitted the crime.At least seven of thenine grand jurors mustagree that there issufficient evidence toreturn an indictment.
A common phrase suggeststhat a prosecutor can convincea grand jury to indict a “hamsandwich” because of the proc-ess’s one-sided nature. Myprior experience as a prose-cutor makes me disagree. Al-
though a few prosecutors mayabuse the system, most prose-cutors have no interest in pur-posely indicting cases thatwould be hard to try.
Moreover, I have observedthat grand jurors, like regularjurors, are independent, seri-ous about their duties, and noteasily persuaded to indict anobviously weak case.
A unique and importantaspect of grand jury service isthe oath of secrecy. The oath ofsecrecy covers the entiregrand jury proceeding and ispermanent. A regular jurormay discuss a case publiclyafter a verdict is announced inopen court, but a grand juror
must keep the proceedingssecret forever unless orderedotherwise by a judge.
Both grand jury and regularjury service last for two weeksin Hamilton County. If selectedfor grand jury, you will hearapproximately 50 cases eachweek. In comparison, mostregular jurors sit on only oneor two cases at most. Perhapsits unique process makes mostpeople who have served onboth regular and grand juriesprefer grand jury service.

Last week’s questionShould Ohio allow online vot-
er registration, which would al-low for an immediate cross checkof license records and help pre-vent illegal voting? Why or whynot?
“Of course, Ohio shouldadopt online voter registration.The greater number of peoplewho can legally vote, the moreour republic is actually demo-cratic!”
TRog
“Ohio and all the other 49states need to introduce voterregistration systems that en-sure that every person dom-iciled in thestateover theageof18 years is registered to vote.
“I know of no other so calleddemocracy in the developedworld that works so hard tomake it difficult for the less for-tunate members of society toregister to vote.
“This is clearly unconstitu-tional since ‘All men (and wom-en) are created equal’ except inthe eyes of the Republican par-ty which is bound and deter-mined to disenfranchise asmanyof thepotentialoppositionas possible. Apparently theyconcede that they can’t win thepolicy argument, so they justwant to stack the deck by rig-ging the electoral role.
“Given the millions of votescast, electoral fraud,while it ex-
ists, is so miniscule that it doesnot affect the outcome of elec-tions, but is used as an excusefor all sorts of laws aimed atlimiting voter registration.”
D.R.
“I think so, and why not. Ev-erything else hasgone electron-ic and states should have morecontrol over the ancientmethodof registration.”
O.H.R.
“The entire fuss over voterregistration is so stupid I justwish someone would do it rightandwe could all follow the lead-er.
“Theproblemwithvoterreg-istration requirements is thatthe political motivation drivesthe efforts to make it harder toregister and vote if you arepoor, which apparently the Re-publicans have decided meansyou are Democratic.
“Many poor people, particu-
larly in the South, don’t have So-cial Security numbers becausethey were born in remote areaswhich didn’t have adequatepublic records. Others havebeen displaced, don’t have thetransportation necessary to getthe records theyneed, and so onand so forth.
“This question is about on-line registration and immediatecross-checks. That would be animprovement, although Ohio’sregistration process is prettyeasy compared to many otherstates, and the manipulationthat I’maware of happens at thevote-counting stage, not theregistration or voting stage.
“We should have a straight-forward registration processthat CONSTITUTES a form ofidentificationwhich is intercon-nected to the license and SocialSecurity system. If you are ableto register to vote you are givena formof identificationwhich isreplaceable, and identifies you
to the poll worker.“Itmight evenmake identify
theft harder, if done right, sincethere would be one more levelof confirmation available whena person’s true identity is inquestion.”
N.F.
“No, it’s too dangerous withall of the hackers out there. Go-ing in person and presenting avalid picture ID is much safer.There’s already too much voterfraud out there, as we discov-ered after the last presidentialelection.”
C.H.
“I would be in favor of any-thing that would cut down on il-legal voting. When I go to vote Iknow some of the people at thepolls but I still have to showmyidentification. How can peoplevote that don’t even have anyidentification?”

To ponder another side of theAmerican Civil War throughsome unique, local art, go visitthe Lloyd Library’s “WoundedHome” exhibit.
Seven artists researched thelibrary’s holdings ofpost-warmedicalencyclopedias andother sources toexplain the woundsof battle with 12original works.
“The Last SupperCivil War,” a grip-ping two-dimension-al presentation byCincinnati artist andUC physician SaadGhosn is modeledafter Leonardo daVinci’s “The Last Supper.” Re-placing Jesus Christ in themiddle position is an angelicAbraham Lincoln encircled in ahalo of righteousness.
An array of non-notablewounded figures flank theircommander. Union and Confed-erate flags adorn the border ofthis photomontage. T
he table that would haveotherwise contained bread andwine is strewn with weaponry.The foreground before Lincolnand his disciples are black andwhite photos of wounded thatlay on the battlefield.
“No war is ever as clean andsimple as its principles mayseem,” Ghosn says of his in-terpretation of war in generaland this conflict in particular.
“Even the Civil War with itsnoble outcome, had a veryhigh cost and could havebeen avoided.”
He has an additionalprint and a three-dimen-sional presentation thatspeaks to the bloody deathtoll.
Another artist exam-ines an unconventionalwound, the one left by thecotton industry before itcollided with abolition.With “Ode to Cotton” Ce-lene Hawkins reminds
how the plantation South’s chiefsource of wealth was built onthe backs of slaves.
At first a subtle piece, onlybecause it hangs in the form ofa chandelier, it comes to lifewhen one notices the painstak-ing detail the artist forged intoit.
“I found that the entire his-toric situation [the antebellumcotton economy] was an oddblend of myth and reality,”Hawkins told me, “A smallpopulation benefitting from themasses of another.”
She researched the stats,
specs, and sheer size of theindustry, as well as Victorianlighting fixtures. This one, amix of brass, copper, andbronze, includes in detail theactors of the cotton South: theplant in blown glass that en-cases four lights, the boll wee-vil, and a sacrificed sheep.
Additional pieces bringhome the severity and chal-lenges of wounded life for doc-tors, wives, and battlefieldvictims.
Kate Kern has placed im-ages of bullet entrances and
exits onto upholstery and fash-ioned it to a period settee, ala“Our NationMourns: WoundedSettee.”
Jenny Fine has drawn skindiseases and replicated woundsfrom the era onto her originalblack and white photos.
The exhibit is thought-pro-voking. It avoids the typicalhistorical explanations, battle-field summaries, and insteadelicits concern for the damage,the post-war struggles of survi-vors and widows.
Asmuch as the armchair
historian or art aficionadomight know about the Civil War,most have not delved into theconflict’s medical toll thatcomes out in these presenta-tions, nor have we consideredat length the personal anguishof the wounded.
Many of the pieces are forsale. The exhibit runs throughJan. 20.

JANUARY 9, 2014 • INDIAN HILL JOURNAL • B3LIFE
I was flipping throughmygourmet foodmagazines andtwo items kept popping up as“newbies” for 2014. One is theherb fennel, in particularbronze fennel. I had to chucklesince I’ve grown both greenfennel, which produces a deli-cious bulb, and also bronze,which is grown for its leavesand seeds, for years.
Fennel contains vita-min C and potassium,good for immune andnervous systems, and theheart. In fact, I just fea-tured a fennel/garliccrust on pork roast onmy cable show “LoveStarts in the Kitchen.”Watch it on TimeWarnerlocal access.
The other trend iskale, but not the old-fashionedcurly kale like Grandma grew.Kale varieties are almost end-less. You’ll find lots of recipes,including the two I mention inmy pizza recipe. Kale is an easycool crop, so grow some comespring.
I’d also like to issue a formalinvitation for you to share yourfavorite recipes and tips alongwith the story that goes withthem. I’m not particular, sowhatever you like to cook,whether it’s fancy, plain or inbetween is fine byme. If yousend along a photo, so much thebetter!
Whole wheat pizza withgarlic, greens and twocheeses
We grow kale, includingLocinato/Tuscan/Dino and Rus-sian kale. Both aremilder tast-ing than curly kale. Mixing kalewith Swiss chard or spinachtones down the taste of kale.
Greens like these con-tain nutrients essentialfor tissue growth andrepair, and even yourpicky eaters will likethis. You can use justchard or spinach if youlike.
1pre-baked 12 oz. Boboliwhole wheat pizza shell
2-3 teaspoons finelyminced garlic
3-4 tablespoons extravirgin olive oil
Pizza sauce to coverEnough small Swiss chard orspinach and kale leaves to cover(or large leaves, chopped)
6-8 oz. Fontina cheese, shredded3-4 oz. crumbled goat cheeseOptional: Sliced tomatoes, chives
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.Stir garlic into olive oil. Brushover crust. Top with pizza sauceand greens, overlapping leavesso entire surface is covered.Sprinkle with cheeses. Slicecherry or regular tomatoes andlay on top if you like. Bake 10minutes or until cheesemelts.
Tips from Rita’s kitchen
Substitute Gorgonzola forgoat cheese.
Priscilla Pancoast’sheirloom corn pudding
Wow – talk about lots ofrequests for this! The originalrecipe came from Priscilla’smother’s cousin, who was fromNiles, Ohio. “This almost has acult following,” said Priscilla.Check out my blog for morecorn pudding recipes, includingthe famous Beaumont Inn’scorn pudding, along with anold-fashioned version of thistreasured side dish.
2 eggs1 stick of butter1 package Jiffycorn muffin mix
8 oz. grated cheddar8 oz. sour cream1 can yellow corn with juice,approximately 15 oz.
1 can cream-style corn,approximately 15 oz.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Melt butter, beat eggs slightly,thenmix everything togetherand put in greased 21/2 quartcasserole and bake for about 45minutes.
Tips from readers’kitchens
Add extra flavor to boxcakes. NancyMauch, a Cler-mont County reader andmomofmy former editor, LisaMauch, shares this tip: For boxcakes, substitute milk or juicefor liquid called for. “Addsanother element of flavor,”Nancy said.
Buying blue cheese in bulk.Dave, a loyal reader, said hefound a five-pound bag of bluecheese crumbles at GFS (Gor-don Food Service) for $19. Hemade batches of Nell Wilson’s
blue cheese dressing and waslooking for an affordable wayto do it.
Tomato preserve recipe abig hit. Lana Kay, a NorthernKentucky reader, mademyauntMargaret’s recipe lastsummer. “I was surprised howmany people had never tastedthem,” she said. Lana shared itwith an Amish vendor at afarmer’s market and I have nodoubt it will become a big sell-er. Tomato preserves are anoth-er trendy, but really old-fash-ioned, condiment that chefs willbe featuring this year.
