Star Recipe of the Month:
INGREDIENTSPound cake, cut into 1-inch-thick slices
White frosting
Fruit leather
Flaked coconut
An assortment of candies and jellies for sweet toppings and sushi sides
DIRECTIONS1. For rolls, use a knife to cut 1 1/2-inch circles from a slice of cake.
2. Frost the tops of the circles, then wrap a 6-inch strip of fruit leather “seaweed” around each one, using a dab of frosting to secure it.
3. Press coconut “rice” into the frosting.
4. For individual sushi, cut a cake slice into rectangles and round the edge.
5. Frost the top and sides of each oval, then roll it in coconut.
Sweet toppings: From left to right, starting with the top row, we used orange nonpareils, apricot preserves, and pieces of Twizzlers Rainbow Twists. In the middle row, we used a green gumdrop slice, diced Swedish Fish, and gumdrop wedges. On the bottom row, we topped the sushi base with a Swedish Fish, then wrapped it with a strip of fruit leather.
Sushi sides: To make wasabi, warm a green Starburst candy in the microwave for 10 seconds, then use your hands to work it into a mound. For pickled ginger, microwave and flatten an orange Starburst candy, then bunch it up into a pile, as shown on top.

The Program
Revised: March 18, 2010
The FOCUS ProgramFOCUS (Families OverComing Under Stress) is a
resiliency-building program designed for military
families and children facing the multiple challenges
of combat operational stress during wartime.
FOCUS promotes family strengths and supports
parents to help manage the challenges of military
life. FOCUS was developed at the UCLA Semel
Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior
in collaboration with the National Center for Child
Traumatic Stress and Children’s Hospital Boston/
Harvard Medical School.
Deployments affect both the service
member and the family as routines
and roles are disrupted. Children may
experience challenges before, during
and after a parent’s deployment.

It’s up to you. Prepare strong. Get an emergency supply kit with enough supplies for at least three
days, make an emergency plan with your family and be informed about what might happen.
Store your emergency kit in an easily accessible area such as a cupboard by the door and make sure everyone in your family knows where it is. Consider whether your area is likely to face a specific threat. If your home is prone to flooding, store your kit upstairs. If you face tornados, think about storing your kit in the basement.
