I am the Greatest By AMBROSIA NELDON ambrosia.neldon @leaderpub.com BENTON HARBOR — Everyone has heroes — famous musicians, professional athletes, renowned authors. No matter where that inspiration comes from, organizers 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, students 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 program, and that’s why fundraisers 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 collaborative 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 judging contest and much more. Artists will be live at work painting large beach paintings, 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 masterpiece 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

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 prohibitive 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 proponent 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 salads, serving with greens and potatoes, and just heating 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 lentils or navy beans since they cook pretty fast. Get creative and keep these satisfying legumes in stock!
