For Those Who Serve…
Soon we will be celebrating Memorial Day across this great country; a day when
we remember the men and women who serve so selflessly to keep our nation free.
In a time when foreign, hostile, war-mongers dominate the headlines; the troops
who protect our freedom deserve our respect and recognition for their efforts.
We at Batavia Enterprises have always supported our troops. We presently have
three members of our armed forces that we are recognizing today. These three have
their photos posted below. The young men are my son, and the brothers of Carolyn
Russell and Julie Kotalik.
The character of these individuals can never be questioned, because they chose to
potentially put themselves in harms’ way, to make sure we have the freedoms we
all enjoy today.
So today we recognize the commitment of these three special individuals, along
with all of the members of our armed forces, by acknowledging that we truly
appreciate the path they have chosen.
From all of us at Batavia Enterprises….A warm heartfelt “Thank You” for your
service, your sacrifices, and the unwavering dedication to our country.
Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers!

Mayor Schielke & Austin Dempsey
Like them on facebook “Friends of Batavia Fireworks”
BEI’s Austin Dempsey & Julie Kotalik hold positions on the
Batavia 4th of July Fireworks Committee. The whole
organization has been working to fundraise for this year’s
goal of $50,000, which the organization needs to put on the
2013 show. Money is normally raised through events like
Books vs. Badges, the City-Wide Garage Sale (May 3rd &
4th), walking the Loyalty Day Parade & selling raffle
tickets, but each year less and less has been given and the
reserves have been tapped. If you love the 4th of July
Fireworks, show it & donate! Every bit helps. Sometimes
all it takes is 5minutes, 5friends, 5dollars.

Recipe — Lemon Chicken
Pat the chicken breast dry and place them skin side up over the sauce.
Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle them liberally with
salt and pepper. Cut the lemon in 8 wedges and tuck it among the pieces
of chicken.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken breast,
until the chicken is done and the skin is lightly browned. If the chicken
isn't browned enough, put it under the broiler for 2 minutes. Cover the
pan tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Sprinkle
with salt and serve hot with pan juices.

BEI Reviews
“The chicken is cooked ever so
perfectly and the zest of the lemon
combined with the fresh earthy tones of
the oregano and thyme
make this a perfect summer dish. My recommendation
would be any chardonnay from the 2009 Napa Region,
and a side dish of fresh vegetables.”
