morning, or any morning
or day for that matter,
Ruhlman has plenty of
egg recipes for what he
calls in the book "a lens
through which to view
the entire craft of cook-
ing."
Eggs have multiple
roles in cooking, he
writes, whether as main
dish or as a unifying
ingredient in such dishes
as his potato, onion and
cheese fritatta, where the
egg combines with these
ingredients to make them
whole.
Deviled eggs will be
on the Easter menu at the
home of Dana Price of
Santo, who was buying
fresh eggs at Wal-Mart in
Mineral Wells Thursday.
"Everybody loves my
deviled eggs," she said.
While real eggs will be
part of her family's Easter
menu, her five grandchil-
dren will probably hunt
plastic eggs; the plastic
eggs make less of a mess.
Easter, of course, is a
time when you think of
eggs, and the tradition of
dyeing eggs stretches
back thousands of years,
historians say. Early
Christians, in what is
now present-day Iraq and
Kuwait, stained eggs red
as a symbol of the blood

resource on crime trends,
said Lt. Randy Wright.
"We use it weekly, if
not daily on the adminis-
trative side," he said.
The CrimeReports site
is accessible publicly
online at the city's site at
http: / /www.mineralwell-
stx.gov by selecting the
E-Services / CrimeReports
tab. The site unfolds a
map of the city tagged
with various brief inci-
dent reports such as thefts
from vehicles and
assaults. It also tags
addresses of registered
sex offenders.
The police department
tracks trends such as a
how many burglaries
occur within a certain
part of the city, Wright
said. Information like this
is particularly useful for
police efforts such as
Project 365, part of the
National Night Out pro-
gram that targets blighted
or crime-ridden areas, he
added.
Project 365 is a four-
phase effort in a selected
area of town to help
reduce crime and gener-
ally clean up and restore
an area to make it safe
and livable, said police
officer Patrick Adams.
This is the second year
the program has been in
effect.
Last year the program
covered a roughly
24-block area from S.E.
6th Avenue to S.E. 14th
Avenue, east to west, and
Martin Luther King Jr.
Street to Municipal
Highway 379, north to
south, he said. When the
project ended last year,
results showed that crime
in the area was reduced
by 6 percent, more than
50,000 pounds of trash
were picked up and sev-
eral dilapidated proper-
ties were fixed up.
Besides helping with
Project 365, the city's
website provides police
with several sources to
follow up leads on crimi-
nal activity citywide,
Wright said.
Citizens can anony-
mously tip police about
possible criminal activity,
he said. They can fill out
an online form, send
police a text message, or
download an iPhone or
Android app.
Tips most often are on
BAKER

"I think there is good support for it," Roach said. "I
certainly have heard more positive than negative. The
negative things that I have heard stem from misinfor-
mation. There is even support from outside of the com-
munity."
"I believe it is going to pass," Allen said. "I have
seen very little negativity towards the project and
everybody I have talked to has been all for it."
Christ shed at crucifixion.
Another tradition says
Christians were not
allowed to eat eggs at
Lent, but Lenten obser-
vances didn't stop chick-
ens from laying their
eggs, so the faithful
would boil and color the
eggs to mark the end of
fasting, and then eat
them on Easter.
The egg has been ven-
erated as a symbol of
new life thousands of
years before Christianity
arrived, historians say.
Engraved ostrich eggs
dating from about
60,000 years ago have
been found in Africa;
and 2,500 years ago, the
Zoroastrians, a religious
group in ancient Iran,
decorated eggs for their
new year celebrations.
The Easter Bunny,
who brings children
eggs and hides them on
Easter Sunday, is a tra-
dition that originated,
historians say, with
German Lutherans as
the Easter Hare, a crea-
ture much like Santa
Claus, that judges
whether children are
good or bad during the
Easter season and deliv-
ers colored eggs, candy
and other treats to good
children the day before
Easter.
Easter-themed can-
dies soon followed the
Easter Bunny as part of
narcotics-related activity,
he said. These and other
tips have been helpful.
"We have had tips help
us lodge a case."
He wants to assure
people that tips provided
to police are anonymous.
He said text messaging
the police in particular
often worries people, but
the messages that come
in through the system are
encrypted and police
only see the message, not
a name or phone number.
"We truly don't know
who it is," he said.

the Easter holiday, and
the first chocolate eggs
date back to the early
19th century in Europe,
historians say. Easter is
the second best-selling
candy holiday outside of
Halloween.
In the U.S. and Mexico,
you might take a crack at
another Easter-egg tradi-
tion, cascarones, confetti-
filled chicken eggs that
are often thrown at or
cracked over a person's
head. Legend has it, that
a cascaron smashed over
your head is a sunny-side
up order - it brings
good luck.
