The Echo American Association of University Women Submitted by: Diane Brewer, Membership VP The American Association of University Women is a group of degreed individuals which works to ensure that opportunities and access of all kinds remain available to women and girls throughout the country and across the globe. Most people are aware that Title IX transformed athletics across the academic spectrum. Today, largely due to the efforts of groups like the AAUW, more and more women are also receiving equal pay for equal work, achieving the highest positions in business, and are also reaching pinnacle positions in government. Due to AAUW, deserving academic researchers are rewarded for their achievements with annual fellowships. The Austin branch of AAUW is in the middle of its annual membership drive. The organization does not advertise, so it is important that people learn of this group and the indelible effect it can have on the lives of women. In Austin, AAUW volunteers work in GirlsStart and Mindspring, groups reaching out to girls who need a hand up; they support non-profits like

Ten Thousand Villages on South Congress, which markets the handmade goods of women in Third World Countries. Others are out in the community registering voters or working at voting sites. Membership VP Diane Brewer says that the dues of $75 are divided among the national, state, and local levels of AAUW, and due to the work of the association, all but $3 is tax deductible. For more information, go to: http://austin-tx.aauw.net Service is only part of the story, however. Interest and study groups pervade the organization offering everything from a common love of reading, stitchery, and art appreciation, to bridge, mah jongg, theatre, and dining. If you would like to explore the organization further, come to the AAUW-Austin Summer Social, located at the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd’s parish hall, Exposition Blvd. @ Windsor Drive on Sunday afternoon, August 19th, at 3 pm. There will be a raffle, food, beverages, and lots of information. Come and see!

Back To School Checklist

Ensuring a Healthy Return to the Classroom Begins at Home As a parent, there’s no doubt that back-to-school season requires a lot of effort to get your kids all set for the challenges of the classroom. But it’s also an important time to consider your child’s health, says Daniel Howard, M.D., a pediatrician with The Austin Diagnostic Clinic (ADC). “From making sure all of the proper vaccinations have been administered on schedule, to getting their kids back on ‘school year’ sleep schedules, health is obviously a huge consideration for parents with school-age children,” Dr. Howard says. • Vaccinations 101. Children should receive a variety of vaccinations and booster shots to prevent them from getting many serious and highly contagious diseases. • Hearing and vision tests. Consider getting your child’s hearing and vision tested before they begin school to prevent learning challenges in the classroom. • Health information. Parents should be prepared to provide schools with a list of emergency contact information that includes telephone numbers for parents, close family, pediatrician, and dentist. • Diet and sleep. Healthy eating is a critical part of a child’s physical

and mental development and can help curb the risk of childhood obesity. Sleep is also essential—kids should get between eight to 11 hours per day, depending on their age. Daniel Howard, M.D., is a pediatrician for The Austin Diagnostic Clinic, a multi-specialty clinic with physicians representing 21medical specialties at more than six locations throughout Austin and Central Texas. Dr. Howard sees patients at the ADC Cedar Bend, at 2400 Cedar Bend Drive. For more information, visit www. adclinic.com or call 512-9014016.

The Echo Oven Baked Tilapia with Leek Cilantro Salad by The Four Points Foodie

This is just a yummy dish! Oven baked tilapia is a good staple. I breaded mine with panko for a really light and crunchy texture. But what sets this recipe apart is the leek and cilantro salad on top. Served over a bed of jasmine rice, this is the perfect summertime meal.

TILAPIA & RICE Ingredients: • Jasmine Rice, cooked per the package to serve 4 • 4 Tilapia fillets, rinsed and dried • 2 T olive oil • 12 oz panko bread crumbs • salt and pepper Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare Jasmine Rice per the package to make 4 servings. Rinse and dry tilapia fillets and rub each one with olive oil. Dredge through the panko break crumbs, pushing with your fingers so it sticks. Add a little extra olive oil onto your pan and place the breaded tilapia on it. Season with salt and pepper and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes or until done.

LEEK AND CILANTRO SALAD Ingredients: • 2 leeks, green tops discarded, sliced in half, rinsed and patted dry • 2 bunches cilantro, rinsed and dried • 2 T rice vinegar • 1 T butter • 2 T olive oil • Salt and Pepper Directions: Chop off the green tops of the leeks and slice in half, which makes cleaning easier. Remove all sand and pat dry. Slice the leeks and add to a saute pan with the 1 T of butter. Saute until tender, remove from heat and cool. Meanwhile, pick the clean cilantro leaves off the stems and add to a bowl. Add the cooled sauted leeks, rice vinegar, olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper. To assemble: Start with a bed of jasmine rice, then the baked tilapia and topped with the delicious leek and cilantro salad. Serves 4.
