Boating on E10
Good news about your fun on the water There are more than 12 million recreational boats in the United States. If you are a boat owner, it can be smooth sailing if you take care of the motor and follow the proper guidance when it comes to fuel. While many boaters have heard warnings that ethanol cannot be used in boat engines, nothing could be farther from the truth. A 10 percent ethanol mix (E10), which is used in almost all transportation fuel nationwide, can be safely used in marine engines today, including two-stroke engines, four-stroke engines, inboard motors and outboard motors. In fact, a 10 percent ethanol mix has been approved for years by marine engine manufacturers such as Honda, Kawasaki, Mercury Marine, OMC (Johnson/ Evinrude), Pleasurecraft, Tigershark (Artco), Tracker and Yamaha. “There is a myth out there that 10 percent ethanol is not good for marine engines, but we have been operating for over 20 years and have not had any issues with it whatsoever … There are absolutely no problems running on 10 percent ethanol,” Vernon Barfield, former Technical Chairman and Vice President of the National Boat Racing Association, said. What about E15? Boaters should remember that although E10 is fine for marine engines, E15 is not approved for use in boats. E15 is approved by the Environmental Protection Agency only for use in flex-fuel vehicles and vehicles model year 2001 and newer. If you have any questions or concerns about what fuel to put in your boat, consult your owner’s manual or contact your engine manufacturer. Ethanol is a high-octane fuel additive that gives your engine a boost on the water and helps achieve optimal engine performance. It also helps reduce emissions and keeps lakes and rivers clean for future boating adventures. In addition, there are other ways to keep your engine going strong. For example, you should always check the engine before going out on the water for any water contamination and ensure your engine has a tight-fitting cap. Engines respond poorly to water no matter what type of fuel goes into your tank. Also, keep up with routine maintenance and ensure that the boat is properly stored in winter.

PAPATry PLEASING e s e h t four presents If your dad is like many, he spends much (maybe too much?) of his time at work, and many times when he’s not there, his smartphone means he’s still not truly unplugged. In fact, according to a survey by USA Today, 50 percent of dads find it difficult to balance work and family. Fortunately, this summer, you can help him find a little time for relaxation. Bonding time Fighting traffic on the way to the office five days a week and waiting in line at the coffee shop can be draining. Plan a getaway that will give everyone in the family an opportunity to relax, such as a camping trip or rental cabin. The National Retail Federation surveyed people purchasing gifts for their dads and found that the top two gift categories are greeting cards and special dinners or outings.

Boat owners should know that 10 percent ethanol blends are safe for use in boat engines today.
Solitude Life can get hectic and the responsibilities of work and family can take a toll on dear old dad. Kiplinger’s magazine suggests that giving dad time to do as he wants is always a great idea. Vacating the house for a few hours and letting him have complete control of the remote might be the easiest and most inexpensive gift you can give.
The outdoors Fishing can be another great way to unwind. Even if the fish aren’t biting, the water can deliver a muchneeded escape from the cubicle—especially aboard a pontoon or runabout rigged with an Evinrude E-TEC G2 outboard engine. This innovative, boldly styled engine delivers 15 percent better fuel efficiency, 20 percent more torque and 75 percent fewer regulated emissions than others. Plus, it features an i-Trim automatic trimming system that lets even outboard novices command a boat like a seasoned skipper. Learn more at www.chooseyouretec. com. Make plans for him Dad might not come out and say exactly what he wants, so being creative and offering him a unique experience can make a big difference. Purchasing tickets to a minor-league baseball game, scheduling a tee time on his favorite course or renting a sports car for the day can be easy ways to show him a good time. Getting dad a chance to relax a little can help the whole family feel better.

Fire up your
GRILLING GAME
Expert tips and specialty cheese make it easy
FILE PHOTO Whitewater Lakes Breeze
To become this summer’s “grill master” take a few tips from the experts on proper technique and specialty flavors.
Every grilling season presents a new opportunity to add recipes and tricks to your routine. This year, kick up your cooking skills with advice from the ultimate grill master, Chef Michael Symon, co-host of ABC’s “The Chew,” and author of three best-selling cookbooks and owner of several restaurants. “With the right techniques and ingredients, any home chef can grill foods that are seasoned to perfection and overflowing with melt-inyour-mouth goodness,” says Chef Symon. “With some simple techniques, great meat or veggies, and my favorite topper – Castello(R) cheese – every dish will burst with flavor.” The following tips from Chef Symon will help you make the most of every grilling occasion. • Judge proteins by their appearance. Red meat should appear red, not gray, with plenty of marbling; the fat melts to add flavor and create a wonderful mouth feel. • Pay attention to temperature. Heat up your grill, with the lid down, for 20 to 30 minutes prior to grilling. This is a good time to take out your meat or poultry, which should be at room temperature before it is cooked. Begin grilling your protein on high heat to give it some char and then finish on low heat so it’s juicy and doesn’t burn. After grilling, let your protein rest to ensure it retains these flavorful juices. • Don’t over-season. Season simply to showcase the meat or veggies: kosher salt,
ground black pepper, plus a drizzle of olive oil to help it sear. • Resist the temptation to flip. Whether you’re cooking protein or veggies, you should only turn your food over once when grilling. Allow your food to develop a wonderful char on one side before moving or flipping it. • Be adventurous with ingredients. Instead of a traditional cheeseburger, make Chef Symon’s Bison Burger using Castello(R) Burger Blue cheese, which comes pre-sliced and ready for grilling. Shape ground bison meat into patties, grill three minutes on one side, then flip and top with sliced red onion and Burger Blue. • Cut protein against the grain. The grain represents the direction of muscle fibers. Cutting slim strips, against the grain, shortens muscle fibers and makes the protein more tender and enjoyable. • Use vegetables for flavor and texture. Vegetarians and meat lovers alike appreciate properly grilled vegetables, which add a healthy touch and contrasting textures to your grilling menus. Chef Symon’s Grilled Eggplant is topped with melted Castello Burger Blue cheese, as well as an arugula salad with vinaigrette, capers, red onion and toasted sliced almonds.
