Alexandria courthouse underutilized By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

Campbell County’s courthouse in Alexandria has remained partially vacant since the county clerk’s office and driver’s license office moved to another Alexandria location in 2007. The Fiscal Court and county’s Planning and Municipal Zoning Commission meet each month in a first floor meeting room, and the second floor is occupied by the Campbell County Historical and Genealogical Society. But the remainder of the first floor space, where the clerk once did business and kept records, is now vacant. For the moment, the county is in the final stages of construction of the new building at 1098 Monmouth St. in Newport where the county will move many of its offices, said Campbell County Administrator Robert Horine. The county is planning to move into the new Newport building in October.

The rooms to the left of the front columns of Campbell County courthouse in Alexandria are currently vacant. Working on the details of completing that project is taking up time right now, Horine said. “We have not spent much time further on exploring future uses of

the Alexandria courthouse beyond what’s already happening there,” Horine said. The space where the clerk once was is essentially one big suite of

space, and there is also a separate area where the driver’s license office was that has three other rooms, he said. For now, the county coroner is keeping records in some of the space, and the county’s road department uses the space as a satellite office. The meeting room is also where the county police’s merit board meets, and the state uses it on an as-needed basis for meetings like public hearings, Horine said. The courthouse is also the site of a communications tower. While the county does make the best use of the space it can, it is a little under-used, he said. “I’d put it in the underutilized category right now,” Horine said of the courthouse. To bring in new tenants into the space requires more parking, which is why the clerk’s office left in the first place, he said. “The key to a more active use of the facility is parking,” Horine said.

Senior picnic hunts fun with safari flair By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

The annual dancing, dining, and game-playing delight that is the Campbell County Senior Picnic will be at Pendery Park in Melbourne from noon to 5 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 16 this year. The picnic’s 42nd year will have a “Seniors on Safari” theme, with decorations and questions in the trivia game based on the theme, said Pat Dressman, director of human services for Campbell County. Last year’s event featured a luau theme, and several attendees dressed in floral print shirts. “If they want to dress up that’s fine,” Dressman said. But there’s no requirement to dress up. There will be a catered chicken dinner as well as refreshments served throughout the day. And at the picnic, age can be an asset. “We have a king and queen, and it’s the oldest usually,” she said. Games will include horse shoes, a cornhole tournament, a safari trivia game, and people can have their pictures taken together, she said. In addition to the fun, seniors can learn important information about housing, health and other services from sponsors of the event that include St. Elizabeth Hospitals, Dressman said.

Columbia Street, but the new building will allow the county to have the district and circuit courts located in the same building. The project is being funded by the state Administrative Office of the Courts and is expected to take more than two years to complete.

Campbell County has come a long way since its first courthouses, which were log structures, were built in Newport. A groundbreaking held Tuesday, Sept. 1, kicked off a project to renovate and preserve the 125-year-old courthouse on York Street and build an additional building, forming the Campbell County Judicial Center. The $29-million project has been in the works for years. “I really want to savor this moment,” said Senator Katie Stine, who helped with the project. “It’s been a long time coming.” Former Newport Mayor Thomas Guidugli, who now serves as a city commissioner, said the city was happy to work with county officials on the judicial center.

Group brings freshmen together for service projects By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com

Teacher wins telescope for public views By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

Campbell County High School science teacher Rachel Page has scoped out a way to get both her students and the community to looking into the sky. Page was one of 40 essay winners in the Cincinnati Observatory’s 40 Galileos project that awards telescopes to people including librarians, teachers and students with the intent of furthering astronomy education. The program also celebrated the 400th anniversary of Galileo’s scientific use of a telescope, and the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. Page, who expects to receive her telescope this fall, said she plans to put the telescope to use with nighttime star viewing events for elementary students in the spring. “We would like to have observatory nights targeting elementary students and using the high

school students to help run those star parties,” she said. Page has spent the summer volunteering at the observatory to help with events like star gazing and training to use the new telescope. Part of Page’s teaching philosophy is letting students experience field work. Something like a telescope helps the students feel more connected to what they are studying, she said. Page spends three weeks teaching space science in her ninth-grade classes. Page was using a telescope on loan from the observatory just like the one she will receive to let students in her ninth-grade science classes see the sun using a special filter outside the high school Wednesday, Aug. 26. “I think that’s how most astronomers started out, they saw something through the telescope and said ‘wow, that’s really cool’ and wanted to check it out more,” she said. “It’s not just textbooks and lab coats.”

Allison Franzen, 13, of Alexandria, said she’s thinking of joining the schools astronomy club, and thinks it’s neat to look at constellations and other objects in space. Franzen said she’s also glad Page helped get the telescope for use at the school because not every high school has that opportunity and access. Meagan Mayes, 14, of Alexandria, summed up what she thought of the telescope in three words. “It’s pretty beast,” Mayes said. Beast basically means awesome, she said. Mayes said she’s thinking of joining the school’s astronomy club, and that she’d like to see some meteor showers and other objects in space. Space is interesting because nobody knows much about how it came into being, she said. “No one knows how it got like that, it’s just a bunch of gigantic rocks in space,” she said.

A newly formed local group is hoping to encourage freshman high school students to participate in community service throughout high school. I Am 2013, a non-denominational Christian-based group whose mission is to provide service to the community, offers students at Highlands High School, Newport Central Catholic and Summit Country Day schools a chance to work together through all four years of high school. “As students get older, there The group are not as many is holding ways for them to a kick-off stay connected to God and commuparty for nity service projinterested ects,” said Tammy Schroder, freshmen. who organized the event with Terri Mettens and Julie Dupont. “We wanted to see the kids of different denominations work together.” Schroder said the group will benefit the students and the community, through monthly projects that could range from collecting cell phones for soldiers to volunteering at social service agencies in the area. “The students will work together and hopefully have fun at the same time,” Schroder said. “They may meet another student that they may not have gotten to know otherwise.” The group is holding a kick-off party for interested freshmen at 7 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 27 at the Southgate Community Center, 301 West Walnut St. For more information call Tammy Schroder 781-2412, Julie Dupont 441-8065 or Terri Mettens 441-4210.

Mustangs go 2-0 with shutout By James Weber jweber@nky.com

The Bishop Brossart football team scored 59 points all of last season in going 0-10 for the year. After two games this season, the Mustangs have already surpassed that figure after a 38-0 win over Bracken County Sept. 5 at Thomas More College. Brossart, now 2-0 after an 0-20 varsity start, plays Jenkins 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12. The game will be at Pendleton County High School because of other games at Newport Stadium that weekend. Brossart has scored 60 points in its two wins. Against Bracken, the Mustangs rolled up 438 yards offense and posted their first-ever shutout. “It means a lot,” sophomore quarterback Jesse Orth said. “We’ve been underestimated and we’re trying to prove a point that we have a team and we’re here to win.” Orth was 11-of-17 passing for 145 yards and two touchdowns, which came in the first quarter to Colton Boesch and Luke Dischar. Chris Bowman had 136 rushing yards and two third-quarter touchdowns to lift Brossart to a 25-0 lead. Andrew Guidugli and Timmy Butts added TD runs in the fourth quarter. Michael Whitford had 85 yards on 11 carries for the game. “We have a lot more capable of doing something and making plays,” Bowman said. “We have a passing game this year. It’s not just one or two guys who get the ball.” Boesch, Matthew Abercrombie and Chris Meehan had interceptions in the second half to help preserve the shutout. “We feel we have one of the better defenses in Northern Kentucky,” head coach Matt Reinhart said. “I knew we could get some things done today.” Reinhart said the win showed Brossart’s progress as a program. “We started slow but we’re a second-half team,” he said. “We’re a lot farther than last year. Last year, they didn’t start football until July 15. They didn’t have spring

The running game was just a leisurely change of pace for the Camels as Michael Kremer was a phenomenal 30-of-48 passing for 350 yards and two touchdowns. Andrew Eshman had 12 catches

for 130 yards and one score, while Austin Johnson had eight grabs for 114 yards. Five other Camels had two receptions each, including Matt Smith, Joe Franzen, Nate Geiman, TJ Jett and Corey Cox.

Brossart came away with a 9-1 win to advance in the tourney before losing to Newport Central Catholic in the semifinals. Emmie had a goal and an assist against Covington Latin. The sisters started soccer when they were little and have grown up with the sport. Last week marked the first time they competed against each other. Grace, 15, is two years younger than Emmie. Grace skipped two grades as part of Covington Latin’s advanced academic program, so they will both graduate next spring. Several times during their matchup, the Wyatts contested the ball in the same space. After the game, they made friendly jabs at each other over different plays. “She got called twice for pushing me,” Grace said, a fact Emmie disputed with a smile. “It was fun,” Emmie said. “It’s

never a dull moment with us. We make fun of each other like sisters.” Several family members and supporters attended the game wearing T-shirts with a picture of the sisters together, the phrase “Bishop Latin” on the front and “Wyatt” on the back. “It was exciting to see them play against each other in their senior year,” said their mother, Angie Wyatt. “They’re very competitive with each other, but they love each other very much.” Grace has been the second-leading scorer the past two years for the Trojans, behind senior Beth Whitacre, who could crack the 100goal mark for her career this season. The loss to Brossart was the only blemish in the Trojans’ 4-1-1 start. Emmie is one of eight seniors for the Mustangs (3-5-1). “She’s been very important as a

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Clean up

On August 29, 2009, Boy Scout Troop 751 completed a 10mile cleanup. A total of 23 volunteers showed up to help pick up trash around a loop in Campbell County. It was very different for us to throw away somebody's litter and now we know that throwing away our trash and recycling is very helpful to both our enviroment and our own health. It was a great opportunity for the volunteers and the Troop as a whole. Zack Lanham Boy Scout Troop 751

Thank you

On behalf of all senior citizens who attended the (Bellevue Senior) picnic, manny, many thanks to all who put this together and to all business and other merchants in Campbell County, our thanks. The prizes were great, and the food was yummy and plentiful. Dot Murphy Lake Street Bellevue

‘Calm, serious discussion’ needed on health care I was a licensed insurance agent for over 20 years. At the end of career and for a 20 year period I dealt with a terminal illness. I received excellent care and had very good insurance which covered 80 to 90 percent of my medical expenses. My life was saved by a heart transplant in 1994. With this perspective I still see an urgent need for health care reform. In our present system the consumer or patient needs a lot of luck. This is why I believe that about 50 percent of the American population says they are satisfied with their current health care coverage. People have about a 50-50 chance of getting the care and coverage they really need. In other words, you cannot be unlucky and lose your job and/or your coverage just when a serious illness occurs. You cannot get caught with preexisting conditions when your employer decides to change health insurance or the insurer decides to pull out of your region of the country. If you do not have adequate insurance, you have to raise at least $90 to $100,000 to be placed on a transplant list. Some people do not have the talent or connections to pull that off. I had excellent insurance and my family, friends, church and community raised $30,000 for me. After five years of illness plus five years of waiting on the list and four to five years of recuperating from the transplant, I still owe $52,000. I have had to file bankruptcy twice in a 20-25 year period because of my medical expenses

and being unable to work due to my medical condition. People facing death and/or chronic long term illness tend to pay the heath care providers first and let other bills mount up. The insurance industry as a whole is a solid icon of American entrepreneurship. However, the health care wing of the industry has a checkered past. When I went into the business in the early 1960s, I worked for a small Cincinnati-based company that just got into providing health insurance. As one of the wags on our staff used to day, “we had a sick and accident policy,” “if you get sick, it’s an accident if you get paid.” My point is we need a calm, serious discussion on health care reform. We will not be able to do that with people screaming “socialism” at the top of their lungs and scaring the heck out of people. In this long journey I have learned a few things. Pay your regular bills first and your health care provider last. I find it much easier to deal with the government bureaucrats than with corporate bureaucrats. It should not be assumed that purely privately run health insurance is the best. Remember most seniors would not part with their Medicare. Medicare is government run health care. Michael Sittason is a resident of Highland Heights.

Employers, employees should make health care choices – not government

The Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce and its members are dedicated to improving our nation's health care system. We support ongoing, thoughtful debate on health care and urge Congress to focus on consensus areas that accomplish shared goals. Chief among these goals should be initiatives to reduce costs and provide a robust marketplace for consumers. Unfortunately, Congressional leaders are acting quickly in an effort to push through a political solution to our current health care system that not only fails to reduce cost but which will harm American employers and their employees and families. Our members have been telling us for years that health care costs are out of control and are their primary constraint on economic growth and job creation. Some of the factors that contribute to high cost and rapid medical inflation are complex and require reasoned discussion and analysis. But some of the factors are blatantly obvious and have relatively simple remedies. The Northern Kentucky Chamber supports immediate low-cost reforms to health care that include: medical liability reform; the increased use of health information technology; incentives for wellness and prevention; administrative simplification; and combating fraud and abuse. By implementing reforms of this nature, congress would bend the cost curve without spending a trillion dollars or raising taxes. The Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce also believes it is imperative that employers and their employees have the freedom to work together to develop the best health care plan to meet the unique needs of their company and its employees. An employer mandate, also known as “pay or play,” would force employers to provide “one size fits all” insurance or face an 8 percent (for starters) payroll tax. Many in Washington speak of the need for employers to take a “shared responsibility” in providing health care. The notion that

employers are not sharing responsibility is disingenuous at best. In fact, employers know all too well the challenges facing our health care system. year, Gary Beatrice Every employers volunCommunity tarily pay more Recorder than $500 billion guest for health insurto 160 milcolumnist ance lion Americans. The Chamber believes that an employer mandate will likely lead to lower wages and job loss. Unemployment in this region is already at 11 percent and families can ill afford policies that will threaten their wages and jobs. The Chamber supports providing a vibrant marketplace for individuals and businesses to seek health care options. Many in Congress are singing the praises of a “public option,” a government-run health insurance plan to “compete” with private insurers. The public option would have a tremendous advantage over private insurance plans and would be anything but a legitimate competitor, as the government would both own the competition and set the rules for the insurance industry. A government plan, unlike an employer-sponsored plan, can exempt itself from federal taxes and state regulations and force hospitals to accept submarket reimbursements. How is that legitimate competition? How could this not quickly dissolve into a single government sponsored system? The 800-pound gorilla in the room is the cost for this proposed plan. The price tag is somewhere between $1 trillion and $1.5 trillion. A suggested “surtax” on the wealthiest will directly hit the bottom lines of small businesses that pay their business taxes at a personal rate. At a time when we most need our nation's small businesses to create jobs, current health care reform proposals would tax job creators out of exis-

Congress is also considering taxing health benefits, which are currently tax-exempt. This would be a significant change to tax policy that would have lasting negative ramifications to employers and employees. The Chamber believes meaningful health reform can happen and we support the debate. Lowering the cost and slowing the rate of medical inflation are key components to a strong rebound from the current recession. We believe that this can be accomplished by building on what works and fixing what's broken. We believe that much can be accomplished by making the easy fixes, grabbing the “low hanging fruit.” The business community has always developed new and innovative ways to solve problems and the Chamber will continue to offer solutions and provide leadership that moves our region forward. Gary Beatrice, president of Business Benefits/Hammerlein Garner, is president of the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce.

CH@TROOM Last week’s question

What do you think is the enduring legacy of Ted Kennedy? “A Catholic who supported abortion!” N.G. “Ted Kennedy was not my favorite person, but he had a quality which I praise – he loved his family! – especially his nieces and nephews. I don’t know anyone who has been such an example for encouragement to a family who lost so many parents, grandparents, etc. in death. He kept close to them through ‘thick and thin’ and good and bad times, making an extremely close family. Today, we rarely see families stick together, cherishing each other – like it was before World War II

happened, when the men left the family to go to war for our country, women began working to make ends meet, then after the war, many left for other places in the U.S. to find jobs. It was then when family members began leaving their roots to find jobs. Maybe I am wrong, but I think children need every family member to set the right example, to teach them faith in God and faith in one another, and to love one another unconditionally.” W.R. “The enduring legacy of Ted Kennedy is that, for most of his adult life, he was a drunken skirtchaser whose politics were way to the left of mainstream Americans. He ran off a bridge on Chappaquiddick Island with a young lady in his car. He left her to drown while he escaped, ran

home to sober up, and surrounded himself with an army of lawyers before notifying the authorities. Anyone but a privileged Kennedy would have served some serious prison time for this major indiscretion. The people of Massachusetts should be ashamed for returning this despicable human to Congress. Ted Kennedy is the perfect example of why we need term limits.” William E. Stewart “Teddy was an extreme left wing radical! He was the cause of a young lady dying when he ran off a bridge and she drowned. He sobered up and later revealed the accident. If I remember right he received a six months suspended sentence. I’m sure the Kennedy’s paid the girl’s family off in order keep him from being sued. There is no doubt that he could not been

re-elected to the Congress if he had been from most if not all of the other states. This just goes to show you that money can take care of most everything.” J.L. “Ted Kennedy was a boozer and womanizer – did little of value with his time in the Senate and now they want to canonize him. There is no enduring legacy. Give me a break!” R.A.V. “Setting aside any preconceived notions about the ‘Kennedy Dynasty,’ it’s hard to imagine any intelligent citizen – Democrat, Republican or Independent – not recognizing the amazing volume of lifetime contributions made by this great American patriot and statesman.

Zink does everything from taking care of ROSA’S Web site www.rosas.rescuegroups.org to training volunteers willing to foster pets in their home and training

fostered dogs before they are adopted, said Kathy Thacker of Alexandria, ROSA’S secretary. “A lot of these animals come in with behavioral problems to begin with, that's why people give them up or take them to the pound, they don’t know how to handle them,” Thacker said.

Zink was honored for her work with ROSAS on 55KRC - 550 AM Radio Tuesday, Aug. 25 as an IGA and 55KRC Hometown Hero. Zink received $550 for the award, which she is donating back into ROSA’S.

Playing hide-and-seek, but not really seeking All humans live in hiding from themselves. That’s one of Albert Camus’ central insights about human nature. We practice what psychology calls repression and denial – thereby remaining unconscious to who we really are. Why hide certain experiences or realities of our life? We fear it would be too difficult or frightening dealing with them. We prefer, as Kierkegaard puts it, to tranquilize ourselves with the trivial. Hiding strong personal elements from ourselves is usually futile. They keep trying to get our attention. They express themselves through symptoms such as anxiety, stomach trouble, insomnia, headaches, irritation or depression. True, some depression comes from chemical imbalances and must be treated with medication. But another kind of depression can

be caused by pushing down and away i.e. depressing, unwelcome feelings. One of the strange things about our feelings is, however, that we can’t just bury the unpleasant ones and keep the pleasant ones. They’re all intertwined. Bury anger and we bury the potential for joy; bury sexuality and we bury spontaneity; bury conflict and we bury peace of mind. Symptoms of hidden and scary feelings tap on the walls of our minds and bodies as if to say, “You can’t lead a full life unless you deal with me and achieve a certain understanding of me as part of your life.” Those of us who have been abused or neglected, bruised or wounded by significant others, must come face to face with our pain and the truth about the whole

situation. Understanding the truth will help set us free. It’s difficult for us, but doing so begins healing and integration. Often, facing what we’ve kept hidden is best accomplished with the assistance of a competent professional counselor. One example of the hidden being revealed occurred when I was pastor and a young woman made an appointment. During it she denounced her current boyfriend and his interest in sex. She showed me newspaper articles confirming her belief that our culture is too permissive and men are the villains causing it all. She wanted me to write about it and preach about it to my parishioners. It was her growing intensity, her insistence and deepening rage that led me to suspect there was much

more to her concerns. After a long period of listening, I asked her gently, “Would you be willing to tell me what happened to you? Did someone hurt you or frighten you?” What followed was a profound change in her behavior. She stared into space in silence. Then, with contorted face, an angry snarl in her voice, she whispered, “I was raped when I was 18, and by damn, no man will ever have that power over me again!” With some relief, she said she had hidden and denied that fact for years. She tried – and for a while it worked – to consider that trauma as just a nightmare. She never wondered why she was not able “to find the right guy” with whom to consider marriage. Her repressed fear of sex and anger at men were affecting her life

tremendously. From that point on she was willing to confer Father Lou with a psycholoGuntzelman gist and work Perspectives through the brutal disrespect forced on her by her attacker.A healthier life was ahead for her. She proved more courageous than most people are wont to be in facing what’s hidden inside. Too many of us fulfill Camus’ claim that most humans live in hiding from themselves. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Reach him at columns@community press.com or contact him directly at P.O. Box 428541, Cincinnati, OH 45242. Please include a mailing address or fax number if you wish for him to respond.

It’s all a piece of pie this week

I guess I should call this week’s column the “Pie Issue.” I’ve been asked by several Kentucky readers to clone Maysville’s most famous transparent pie made by McGee’s Bakery. And a reader on the northern side of the river has been clamoring for Jimmy Gherardi’s e m o n Rita lblueberry Heikenfeld pie. First, Rita’s kitchen the story about McGee’s. I stopped in their bakery last year and got several items including their transparent pie. The recipe is secret so I can’t tell you how I sleuthed information but will tell you my “anonymous source” said McGee’s uses powdered milk. Now most transparent pies call for cream or milk so I have no idea how true the

powdered milk theory is, but it’s plausible for sure when baking in large amounts. Anyway, I ran into Nick Clooney last year when we were both on Fox 19’s morning show. Nick said he thought his brother had a recipe similar to McGee’s. Nick and I lost touch so I never did get the recipe in my hot little hands. The recipe I’m sharing is so delicious and almost dead-on McGee’s – and as close as I’m ever going to get to it. Jimmy’s pie, on the other hand, was a cinch to get. He is so generous when it comes to sharing recipes so I’ve got his authentic one to share here.

Transparent pie close to McGee’s

Originally from Martha Jane Zeigler, a Batavia resident and fine baker. Now this isn’t the prettiest pie – the filling isn’t real high but is so enticingly sweet and good you’ll

understand when you take a bite. A thick filling would just be too much. Now if all you have is dark Karo, that should be OK too. I’ve adapted this slightly from her original recipe. 1 pie shell 1 stick butter, room temperature (salted or unsalted is OK) 2 cups sugar 1 tablespoon flour 1 tablespoon vanilla 1 ⁄2 cup half & half 3 large eggs, lightly beaten 2 teaspoons cider vinegar 1 tablespoon clear Karo syrup

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Beat butter and sugar until mixture is fairly fluffy. Add rest of ingredients and blend well. Don’t worry if it looks curdled. Pour into pie shell. Bake 10 minutes at 400 degrees, then turn oven down to 325 degrees and bake for about 40 to 50 minutes more, or

until pie has set. Awesome with a dollop of whipped cream.

Chef Jimmy Gherardi’s lemon sour cream blueberry pie

For reader Cathy Grosse who told me she’s tried to duplicate “but have only nearly got it – worth stuffing myself for.” Cathy wanted to wish Jimmy well and thinks, like I do, that Jimmy is a wonderful and caring person. 1 cup sugar 1 ⁄4 cup all purpose flour 1 ⁄4 cup cornstarch 1 ⁄2 teaspoon salt 1 ⁄2 cup sour cream 1 ⁄2 cup water 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 6 egg yolks 1 ⁄3 cup fresh or organic bottled lemon juice Whipped cream Fresh or thawed frozen blueberries or blueberry syrup. Place sugar, flour, corn-

starch and salt in saucepan. Whisk. Add sour cream and water. Whisk until smooth. Place on stove top over medium heat and stir until thickened. Remove from heat and add butter. Stir until melted and well combined. Stir in yolks, Keep stirring until well combined – don’t worry if butter is floating around. Place back on heat and stir constantly until mixture is well combined and thick again. Stir in juice and keep stirring until it becomes thick and starts to hold its shape. Remove from heat and pour into prepared pie crust. Allow to cool completely at room temperature, then place in fridge until cold. Top with as much whipped cream, berries, etc. as you want.

Can you help?

Like P.F. Chang’s lemon sauce for chicken. Dan Romito, producer of Fox 19’s morning show asked me to find this for his mom,

Congrats to Rob and Sheila

who reads my column. This is one of P.F. Chang’s most popular dishes …mmmm.

Chocolate zucchini bread/cake a huge hit

My editor, Lisa Mauch, and her co-workers gave this a two thumbs up. Like everyone who has made it, Lisa declares this a keeper. This is a good recipe to use those gargantuan zucchini that look like they’re on steroids.

DO YOU WANT TO BE SAVED?

Only one time, in the entire bible, is the question asked. “What must I do to be saved?” (Acts 16:30). In the next verse (Acts 16:31) the question is answered, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt

Remember:

be saved, and thy house.”

Hell’s Hot Life’s Short Death’s Sure Eternity’s Long and “There Ain’t No Exits In Hell.” NO MAN KNOWS, HOW SOON IT IS TOO LATE “Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh His Name in vain.” Exodus 20:7 Any way that you use God’s Name, the Lord’s Name, Jesus’ Name, other than in a Holy manner, is taking His Name in vain. For God so loved the worlds, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believed in Him Should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

Acts 2:21 And Romans 10:13 indicate that “whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” In the next verse, Romans 10:14 it says, “How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?” Believing precedes calling upon The name of the Lord. Jesus Himself said in John 14:6 “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” God reafﬁrms this truth in I Timothy 2:5 saying “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” When someone says “repeat this prayer after me to be saved” it is making people feel like they have to “do” something to be saved, other than believing. If someone is asked to say a prayer to be saved, the person who says the prayer is still on his way to hell, after repeating the prayer, if he hasn’t believed in his heart. Nowhere in the Bible is it found that a person has to pray a prayer to be saved. God does not hear a prayer unless you go to God in the name of Jesus Christ, The Only Mediator between God and man. Jesus Christ is not your Mediator unless he is your Lord and Savior. So according to God, the steps are, ﬁrst, you believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. By believing as Acts 16:31 indicates, you are saved! Acts 16:30,31 is the only time in the Bible where the question is asked, “what must I do to be saved?” God answering through Paul said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved. By being saved, Jesus Christ is your Lord, Savior, and Mediator between God and your self. Now you can pray to God, because you have the Mediator, Jesus Christ.

I believe that when a person “prays” to God, without being saved, his prayer goes no higher than the ceiling, and God probably says, “Who do you think you are, to think that you can come to Me, without coming to Me in the only possible way that I have set out in My Word? For you come to Me, through My Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, the One and Only Mediator between you and Me.” You don’t just pull Jesus Christ out of the air, and say today I want You to get me to God, by my go-between for God! It doesn’t work that way. Jesus Christ is either your Lord and Savior, making Him your Mediator, or, if Jesus Christ is not your Lord and Savior. He is not your Mediator. I believe it is very important to stress that you are saved by believing only. John 3:16, probably the most quoted verse in the Bible, says that, “whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Again, this passage clearly prescribes believing, not repeating a prayer. In Jon 3:4, Nicodemus asks Jesus, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into this mother’s womb, and be born?” He was asking this in regard to Jesus’ statement in John 3:3, that a man needs to be born again Jesus’ answer in John 3:5 and following is “Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” Nowhere does Jesus say, pray to be saved, it is always believe. Years ago, I heard Dr. Donald Grey Barnhouse say “I’m deeply offended when I hear a prayer that does not end with the idea that God must be approached only through the Name and the Being of the Lord Jesus Christ.” Ephesians 1:13 says “In whom (Christ) ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise.” Romans 10:9 tells us “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hat raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth (ﬁrst) unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession (next) is made unto salvation.” How many people have gone to hell or are going to hell by putting their trust in the ungodly “pray the sinners prayer” or “repeat this prayer after me”, instead of believing John 3:36: “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.”

Luke 23:39-43 tells us “And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, if thou be Christ, save thyself and us.” But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done nothing amiss. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.” In these verses in Luke, we see that a man was saved by believing only. The malefactor did not, and was not instructed by Jesus, to pray, to receive salvation. He said unto Jesus, “Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verify I say unto thee, today shalt thou be with me in paradise.” You don’t fool Jesus. Jesus knew that this man believed in Him; that this man believed that this Jesus that he was talking with was the Lord, The Messiah, the Only Begotten Son of God, the Savior, and in believing, the man was saved. Now if you think that you have to pray first; repeat, first, or anything first, before believing, why did Jesus tell him “today thou shalt be with Me in paradise?” OR if there is a need to do for anything to go along with believing believing, why didn’t Jesus tell him what that was? Jesus doesn’t make mistakes! God’s Word is true. You don’t (really you can’t), add to or take away from God’s Word, and it be true. Just leave His Word alone, and do what God said, believe, Psalm 119:89” “For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.” Revelations 22:18,19” For/testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” Take your Bible and check the references that we contained herein—nothing added to and nothing taken away; and when you hear “the plan of salvation” from anyone, get your Bible out and see if it is God speaking or “someone’s” idea. I can’t see “ten steps” to salvation, I can see only one step: believe. The malefactor on the cross had but one step, and he took it. You, I, we all have “one step,” believe. Please take it, and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ for your salvation. All Scripture references are from The King James Version, (Cambridge, Cambridge) 1789.

Bed & Breakfast Feature of the Week

The Doolin House Bed & Breakfast

There is a joke among friends here, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Phoenix that has risen from the ashes. â&#x20AC;?When Charles and Allison Hahn Sobieck purchased the property at 502 North Main Street (in Somerset, Kentucky), there was a lot of work to be done, to say the least. With the vision of a B & B and a home in ruins, there were little choices. The dilapidated structure was removed, then reconstructed as it had been in the 1850â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a brand new home. A bit of an unusual concept for a bed and breakfast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We reconstructed the home from scratch. This gave us the beneďŹ t of designing every amenity possible along the way, â&#x20AC;?said Allison Sobieck, owner. Every room is equipped with many amenities you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t often ďŹ nd in a traditional bed and breakfast, but rather a ďŹ ne hotel. Every room has a full sized closet with a pair of micro-ďŹ ber robes hanging in them, 400- count Egyptian cotton sheets, cable TV with DVD players, queen sized beds, and a host of other things. For instance, 2 rooms have gas ďŹ replaces and 3 rooms have whirlpool tubs. We even offer many add on amenities such as massage, dinner, ďŹ&#x201A;owers, etcâ&#x20AC;Ś

The rooms are only half of the reason to come to The Doolin House. Owners Charles and Allison just happen to both be chefs. Some of the breakfast specialties include Caramel Banana French Toast and Southern Eggs Benedict (2 fried green tomatoes topped with 2 slices of smoked bacon, 2 eggs over easy and Hollandaise). Chuck is usually in charge of breakfast and tries to do new and different things every day. Chef Chuck pointed out, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to experiment with breakfast. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the one meal that encompasses all foods. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfectly acceptable to see smoked salmon or a pork cutlet at the breakfast table. â&#x20AC;?For those in no rush to rise and shine, breakfast in bed is served at no additional charge. When you need a weekend get away thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not too far from home or you are planning your summer vacation to beautiful Lake Cumberland, remember that The Doolin House Bed and Breakfast is only a phone call away.
