Board member Allen Einstein will be
honored tonight as Orchards Children's
Services Gerald L. Levin Champion for
Children. A veteran teacher in
Birmingham Schools and the Detroit
Pistons' photographer for 26 years,
Einstein has raised $115,000 for
Orchards and other children's charities.
For the last 15 years, he's held an annu-
al silent auction and raffle at Berkshire
Middle School in Beverly Hills.

How did you get involved?
'A foster child came out of the
[Berkshire] boys' locker room swing-
ing a sock with a lock in it. A teacher
thought it was a weapon. I happened
to be in the office when they brought
him in. He was in the eighth grade,
new to the school and scared, and had
been in 10 foster homes already. I had
them put him in my class."

What did you find out about him?
"He was a high-risk foster kid. His
mom slept with multiple men. He
would steal her cocaine and go sell it
so he could buy something to eat.

What else do you do?
"I started Project 2000 [a self-con-
tained classroom] at Berkshire six
years ago for at-risk eighth-graders
who didn't do well in the sixth and
seventh grades. I'm also now on the
board of the Jewish Sports
Foundation."

He stayed in school all year, and got
all B's."

What did this lead to for you?
"Foster care is something that peo-
ple just don't seem to know about.
Every year, we show a video to the
students and an Orchards staffer
comes and talks about foster care.
"We've bought bikes and helmets
for the kids at Orchards' summer
camp. We've bought diapers and beds
for families who couldn't afford them
so that their kids could go back into
their own homes. I've always made
sure that the money went to kids.
"We've had blanket drives and food
drives at Berkshire. Every year, I bring
in a Pistons player, and the only way
the students can hear him is by donat-

What happened to that first young-
ster?
"I followed him through the 10th
grade, but then his family moved
again." ❑

buying oat-
meal, should
I look for
organic oats,
whole oats, rolled oats, groats or
oat flakes? What's the difference?
Careful Shopper

nswer: Dear Careful
Shopper, Oats belong
to the class of complex
carbohydrates and starch, and pro-
vide a source of protein, as well as
small amounts of fiber, vitamins
and minerals.

Like many foods, oats may be
subject to processing before you
buy them. Processing can change
oats' texture, taste and nutrient
structure. It's usually smart to
buy organic — organic oats
are typically grown free of
chemicals, pesticides and
herbicides.

I recommend whole oats,
which are the most nutri-
tious and have the bran
\ (the outer layer which
) has the highest fiber
content), endosperm
/j, (the central part that
/ contains most of the
/ starch and protein) and
germ (the part that sprouts)
intact and unprocessed. Oats with
their fibrous husk removed are
called groats. Oats can then be
rolled or ground to make oatmeal,
flakes and oat flour. Manufactur-
ers often enrich processed oats
with vitamins and minerals to re-
place loss. Rolled oats retain most
of the germ and some of the whole
oat kernel. I hope this is helpful.
