Officer goes above, beyond

By Mary Dannemiller

mdannemiller@communitypress.com

Dave Wood was on his way home after finishing a 12-hour shift as an auxiliary officer for the Bethel Police Department when he noticed a large cloud of black smoke billowing out of the Batavia Frisch’s parking lot, Sunday Oct. 18. Without hesitating, Wood forgot about his long day and hurried over to the restaurant. Once there, he discovered Brian Ellis of Batavia had passed out at the wheel his pickup truck with his foot on the accelerator, pinning Constance Skidmore of Sardinia against a van. “It turned out that I was the

first guy on the scene so I tried to identify the driver of the truck and make sure the victim’s husband and grandchildren were OK,” Wood said. Skidmore had been putting her grandchild in the van when Ellis’ vehicle struck her. After the victim’s family was taken inside the restaurant, Wood helped other emergency medical personnel move the pickup truck. “I helped move the truck and then helped the family unpack the damaged vehicle and transfer her belongings to her son-in-law’s car,” Wood said. Wood then took Skidmore’s family in his own car to University Hospital to meet the University Air Care helicopter carrying Skidmore.

However, upon arriving at the hospital, they learned Constance had died from her injuries in the Mercy Hospital Clermont helicopter landing zone before she could be transferred to University. “The Central Joint Fire Department called for University Air Care for assistance as her injuries were extremely life threatening,” said Bethel Police Chief Mark Planck. “David Wood realized that the woman’s husband was in such a state of shock that he decided to drive the man and their grandchildren to University Hospital and meet the helicopter there.” Planck, as well as the Bethel Village Council, commended Wood on his actions that evening and said he was a good example to

other officers in the department. “I am very proud of Officer Wood,” Planck said. “I do wish other officers would model themselves after him. He has done extremely well here at the Bethel Police Department.” Despite the accolades Wood has received for his heroic actions that evening, he said he was just doing what anyone else would have done. “I was happy to help them and give what assistance I could,” he said. “My heart goes out to the family and I wish things could have turned out better in the end. I would hope other people would stop and help if they could.”

Traffic light upgrades still in works By Mary Dannemiller mdannemiller@communitypress.com

Two years after Bethel first applied for an OKI/ODOT signal upgrade grant, the village continues to wait for the funds and begin work on the project. Originally, village Administrator Travis Dotson requested $137,000 for traffic light upgrades, but it was discovered two lights were never properly licensed with the state making them ineligible for upgrades. “These lights have been in place for many years,” he said. “Apparently at least the introductory paperwork for every light was filed with the state and we are not sure where the ball was dropped from there. The lights not properly warranted are the traffic lights at the intersections of East and Plane, Charity and Plane and South and Main.” Signals at the intersections of Plane Street as well as Plane and Union streets will be upgraded to allow the lights to be controlled separately, Dotson said. “The need for the upgrade is the fact that all four traffic lights on Plane Street are controlled by one controller,” he said. “That is why they all turn green, yellow or red at the same time. The upgrade would allow the lights to be controlled separately to maximize traffic flow through town and would also upgrade the actual lights themselves.” Village council member Tim Cherry, who also is the public works committee chair, said the upgrade would help reduce the village’s electric bill. “It’s an older system with older controllers that need an upgrade to provide a better flow of traffic during peak times,” he said. “The upgrades also will include an LED feature which will bring us future savings.” Since the lights at Plane and Charity streets and Plane and East streets are not eligible for upgrade, they may be replaced with stop signs. “Given that the traffic light at Plane and Main will be upgraded to include left-turn arrows, the switch to stop signs at the side streets of Plane and Charity and Plane and East may not pose a problem,” Dotson said. “However, we are concerned with the intersection at South and Main due to the fact there is considerable traffic flowing on both of those.” Dotson is continuing to meet with engineering firm Brandstetter & Carroll and expects to have the upgrades completed by early next year.

Lykins honored with Pacesetter award By Mary Dannemiller mdannemiller@communitypress.com

When Jeff Lykins was told he was named the recipient of the Clermont County Chamber of Commerce Edward J. Parish Award, he was both humbled and surprised. The Edward J. Parish Pacesetter is an annual award given to someone who is an active member of the business community, performs service projects within the community and has held leadership positions in business and civic organizations. Recent winners include Cindy Jenkins Gramke, James McDonough and Andrew McCreanor. “I’m very humbled,” Lykins said. “The list of people who have won that award is comprised of people I look up to, especially with it being named after Edward J. Parish. I just can’t say enough how humbled I am by it.” Lykins is the third-generation president of Lykins Companies, a petroleum marketer based in Clermont County, which sells in 15 states. Clermont Northeastern school board member Cindy Huxel nominated Lykins because of his efforts to make Clermont County a better place, she said. “I’ve known Jeff for 11 years and he’s always been active in a variety of civic efforts,” she said. “He’s always supported everything he can, not only monetarily, but also in time and effort he puts in.” The award winner’s dedication to CASA for Clermont Kids! is especially noteworthy, Huxel said. “He has embraced CASA,” she said. “He hosts an annual golf outing to raise as much money as he can for that cause, which is just one of the many causes he supports. He doesn’t just sit on these boards, he actively participates in everything he does. He’s driving the car, not sitting in the stands.” Lykins’ grandfather instilled in him the impor-

tance of community involvement at an early age, he said. “My grandfather always told me to support the community that you derive your income from and that’s what I’ve always tried to do,” he said. “It’s very important to me. I grew up in Clermont County, the company started in Clermont County and my entire family lives in Clermont County. This is our home and our roots run very deep here.” Though Lykins lives in Miami Township, his generosity reaches all corners of the county and even into neighboring counties, Huxel said. “He grew up in the area, but he’s not just concerned with his little circle or area,” she said. “He is interested in making sure that all of the surrounding communities are quality places to live. Some people focus just on their neighborhood, but he travels around. His children attend Milford schools, but he supports surrounding districts. He takes care of a broad spectrum of people.” Award winners will be honored at the Clermont Chamber Annual Pacesetter Awards Dinner at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 5, at Holiday Inn in Eastgate.

Budget cuts would mean fewer programs at OSU Extension By Kellie Geist kgeist@communitypress.com

For some county departments, a 10-percent budget cut might mean lay-offs and longer service times, but for the Ohio State University Extension office, a 10-percent cut will mean fewer programs for Clermont residents. The Clermont County commissioners asked each of the county’s elected officials and office holders to draft their 2010 budget with a 10percent budget reduction. The OSU extension staff drafted their 2010 budget with that 10-percent cut in addition to the five percent cut they made earlier this year. Those cuts bring the amount of

funding from $216,000 this year to an estimated $185,874 next year. This cut would be in addition to the 30-percent in budget reductions the extension office has had in the last three years. “My recommendation is going to be that they are reduced at the same level as everyone else (about 10 percent),” said county Administrator David Spinney. “But everything is still in the mix ... and the commissioners have not made a decision.” If the cuts are realized, OSU extension will have to cut employees or the amount of hours employees work, said Margaret Jenkins, director and educator. “At this point, the only thing I can

reduce is the time people work here. There is nothing else I can possibly take out,” Jenkins said. “That will translate into fewer programs.” OSU extension focuses on four main areas: Advancing employment and income opportunities, enhancing agriculture and the environment; preparing youth for success, and strengthening families and communities. 4-H is one of the most popular and well-known programs. In Clermont County, there are 961 participants and 270 volunteers involved in community clubs. One sixth of the residents in the county are 4-H alumni, Jenkins said. Some of the other programs and services OSU extension offers

includes soil testing and consultation, gardening consultation and programs, on-site farm consultations, plant disease and pest diagnostic and treatment plans, junior master gardener, the family nutrition program, active parenting and money management. Jenkins said the budget cuts will definitely impact the programming OSU extension offers, but she wasn’t sure which programs would be impacted and to what extent. “When you’re asking what is going to have to give way, it will probably be a little something from everything,” Jenkins said. “Many of our programs interface with one another, so everything we do will probably to be impacted.”

Committee discusses eliminating zoning department By Mary Dannemiller mdannemiller@communitypress.com

As the village of Bethel continues to plan its recovery from fiscal emergency, at least one council member is calling for the elimination of the zoning department. Council and finance committee member Gary Hutchinson said the village would be removed from fiscal emergency five months earlier than projected if the village administrator absorbed zoning department duties, but other finance committee members disagree. “The proposal I made to cut this money out of the budget and eliminate the department is fiscally sound and reasonable, but there is limited support for that on council,” Hutchinson said. This year, the zoning department was appropriated $6,150 to cover the zoning administrator’s $4,800 per year salary and other miscellaneous costs of running the department, but has only brought in $839 in revenue, said Fiscal Officer Angel Burton. “The police department has been cut back to the point where if we cut back any more we’ll be sacrificing public safety,” Hutchinson. “The

police department has born the brunt of the budget cuts and I’ve searched all over the budget to find another place to cut. The public works department has been cut back, too. Zoning is really the only thing left.” Vice Mayor Donna Gunn disagreed with Hutchinson’s stance, saying that Zoning Administrator Ron Dunn’s knowledge of the village and its zoning and housing codes are an asset to the village. “I would not support abolishing the zoning department or the position of the zoning administrator,” Gunn said. “I think those who wish to do away with or consolidate the position have forgotten the mistakes that were made and the problems that were caused when the former administrator tried to handle it. When issues arise they cannot be put on the back burner in lieu of something that may be more pressing, but not less important.” Finance committee is exploring alternative methods to save money within the zoning department, including switching Dunn to hourly payment rather than salary. “We’ll try to see if the village would realize any financial benefit from making the zoning administrator’s position

hourly, but I don’t think we will find that true,” Gunn said. “It could possibly work fine, but it could also come back to bite us if issues arise that take a great deal of time.” Hutchinson said he did not believe the issue would be brought before full council because finance committee’s third member, Alan Ausman, agrees with Gunn. “This particular cut is not popular with the two other members of finance committee, but I don’t care about what they think,” he said. “This is about looking out for the residents of the village of Bethel and their best interests. This financial crisis has to be faced and it has to be faced now.” The fiscal officer would not say whether or not she agreed with Hutchinson, but emphasized the importance of closely scrutinizing every department within the negatively-balanced general fund. “It’s not for me to say how the zoning department should be operated, whether salary, hourly or as-needed,” she said. “The zoning department is paid entirely from the general fund and I do think the department needs to be reviewed.”

In addition to programming, the OSU extension is active in researching and community partnerships, Jenkins said. Jenkins said she hopes the commissioners can see how the funding they put into OSU extension benefits the county and is a “great return on their investment.” Jenkins said for the $185,000 the county would provide OSU extension, the extension office would generate about $2.69 million in volunteer hours, scholarships, fundraisers and societal benefits. “I hope individuals who have had experiences with the extension office would let others know about the value of our services,” Jenkins said.

County studies employee cutbacks By John Seney jseney@communitypress.com

The Clermont County commissioners are studying several ways to trim the workforce in an effort to cut costs. The commissioners were presented with several possibilities Oct. 28, including programs for early retirement, voluntary separation and furloughs. “We can’t just do furloughs year after year, we have to get smaller,” said county Administrator David Spinney as he presented plans for permanent reductions. One possibility would cut the years required for retirement from 30 to 25 years. This change would affect only six workers among the more than 400 county employees paid out of the general fund. The second alternative would be a voluntary separation plan for all general fund employees. Under this plan, an employee who voluntarily elected to leave would receive 25 percent of his first $50,000 in salary

plus 5 percent of his salary above $50,000. For example, an employee making $52,000 would receive a payout of $12,600. Spinney said it would be hard to measure the amount of savings from this plan because it is voluntary and there is no way to know how many employees would take the offer. Commissioner Scott Croswell questioned whether someone who had worked for the county for only two weeks should be able to take the payout. Commissioner Bob Proud agreed there should be some restrictions on those eligible for the payouts. Spinney said he would add some restrictions to the plan before bringing it back before commissioners. The other two options for cutting costs would be voluntary furloughs and mandatory furloughs. Spinney said voluntary furloughs work best when employees are allowed to pick the days they want to take off without pay, rather than setting fixed days.

Sheriff gets federal grant for drug unit By John Seney jseney@communitypress.com

The Clermont County Sheriff’s has received a $90,590.58 federal stimulus grant to help fund the Clermont County Drug Unit. The grant was provided through the American

officers in the eight-man drug unit. Two of the officers are provided by Union Township, one by Miami Township and one by Pierce Township. There also are training and equipment costs involved with the drug unit, Rodenberg said. The sheriff said he is

Economy takes toll on mental health ings coincides with Mental Illness Awareness Week (from Oct. 4 to Oct. 10) and National Depression Screening Day, Oct. 8. “Unemployment today stands at almost 10 percent. Nationwide, we face a mental health crisis as well as an economic crisis,” said Michael J. Fitzpatrick, M.S.W., executive director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness. “There is no shame in seeking help to overcome unemployment or a medical illness. For the sake of all our loved ones, it’s important to learn to recognize symptoms of depression and other mental illnesses. Screening helps. Talk with a doctor about any concerns.” Major depression is a serious medical illness affecting 15 million American adults, or about 5 to 8 percent of the adult popula-

tion in a given year, whether they are unemployed or not. Depression is also very treatable. In fact, treatment such as antidepressants and talk therapy is effective more than 80 percent of the time. But fewer than half of people confronting this medical illness seek treatment, regardless of economic or employment status. Individuals can go to www.mentalhealthscreening.org to find out about free, confidential screenings being conducted around the country and take an anonymous screening online. An additional free, confidential, online screening test is also available at www.depression-screening.org. More information about depression is available at www.DepressionIsReal.org.

A new national survey shows the economic downturn is taking a toll on the mental health of Americans. Individuals who are unemployed are four times as likely as those with jobs to report symptoms consistent with severe mental illness. Americans who experienced involuntary changes in their employment status, such as pay cuts or reduced hours, also are twice as likely to have these symptoms, even though they are employed full time. The survey was conducted for Mental Health America and the National Alliance on Mental Illness in collaboration with the Depression is Real Coalition. The results come from telephone interviews of 1,002 adults nationwide in September. The release of the find-

Career Day shows kids the importance of education By Kellie Geist kgeist@communitypress.com

To show the kids how storm water flows, Greg Clift, the infrastructure management system coordinator for the city of Florence, uses this model. Clift said the kids really enjoy the model because they get to squirt water onto it.

Artists, engineers, nurses, doctors and firefighters. Those are just some of the careers Ebon C. Hill Intermediate School students are interested in after Career Day, Oct. 23. Hill Intermediate teacher and career coordinator Michelle Jones said they have been holding Career Day for at least 10 years. “We want to show the children all the careers there are out there and what kind of skills they’ll need for those careers. It helps prepare them for the future,” said Jones. “I know they’re young, but it gets them interested in those fields. They may take an interest in one particular career and work harder

Ron Vance, a wood carving artist, talks to the students about telling stories through art. on those skills.” Most of the presenters talked about what they do for a living, why they picked that career and the education they needed. The kids then asked a wide variety of questions. “The kids love it, they get to ask lots of questions,” Jones said. “The presenters all do a great job and they really get the kids motivated.” One presenter, Greg Clift, infrastructure management system coordinator for the city of Florence, talked to the kids about how important the skills they are learning in elementary school will serve them later in life.

“The kids have been great. Very attentive,” Clift said. “I think Career Day opens the kids up to a variety of career possibilities for all education levels. It exposes them to more than just what their parents do for a living.” Many of the children especially enjoyed listening to the artist and the representatives from Duke Energy. Fourth-grader Madison Mundy said those presentations were especially fun. “Duke Energy was cool because there were lots of explosions and fire,” Mundy said. “Career Day is

great because there’s a lot of careers we don’t know about. “I learned what it takes to be a professional in (many) careers,” Mundy said. While Career Day takes a day from regular education, most of the teachers find it worthwhile. “There are some careers that everything thinks about, but there are so many others that the kids don’t know of,” said Dixie Parsons, fifth-grade language arts teacher. “I like the fact that they get spend the day learning about those careers.”

The Bethel-Tate Tigers finished the 2009 season with a 20-0 victory over Bishop Brossart High School. The program enters the offseason with a lot of question marks, but ended the season on a positive note by snapping a three-game losing streak. The Tigers finish 5-5 for the second straight season. It is the most wins over a two-year span for the program this decade. “This gives us some momentum going into the offseason,” said interim head coach Jeff Essig, who earned his first win as varsity head coach. It was important for the Tigers to send the seniors off with a win. Several underclassmen stepped up to contribute to the victory and help the veterans end their high school football on a

winning note. Freshman John Ward filled in at fullback after Zach Mullins and Mitchell Hodge went down with ankle injuries. Ward carried the ball down the field on a scoring drive capped by quarterback David Willenbrink. Willenbrink, back in the starting quarterback position after moving to tight end earlier in the year, rushed for two touchdowns. Eric Shinkle, who had started at quarterback since week five, moved back to wingback. The moves were made necessary by injuries, and every player responded well to the adjustments. Shinkle started the scoring with a 25-yard touch-

down run in the first quarter. Ward made an impact in his first significant varsity action. “He has been our workhorse on the JV team all year,” said Essig of Ward. “We felt comfortable giving him the football.” The offense started off slow in the first half, but the defense put together one of its best performances of the year to keep Bethel-Tate in control. Once the offense got going towards the end of the first half, the Tigers took command of the game. “We definitely put it together defensively,” Essig said. “We read our keys well and our defensive backs had their best game of the season.” The offense had two big plays called back by penalties; one was a long run by Kameron Wilson, the other was a long pass from Willenbrink to Spencer Sutter. The offense bounced back with a strong second half. “We missed a couple of opportunities early,” said Essig. “We really started rolling offensively in the last

few minutes of the first half.” Essig is not sure if he will be back as varsity head coach next year. He is 1-1 after taking over for Clint Kirker, who was placed on administrative leave on Oct. 21. Kirker went 9-9 after taking over the program in 2008. The Tigers have come very close to putting together a winning season in each of the past two years. Finishing .500 was not the desired goal this season, but avoiding a losing record is still a plus for the program. “It was very important for us to go out with a win,” Essig said. “We want this program to continue to build on what we’ve done these last two seasons.”

McNick volleyball wins sectional title By Mark Chalifoux mchalifoux@communitypress.com

The No. 1-seeded McNicholas High School girls volleyball team cruised to a sectional title after defeating No. 11 Bethel and No. 7 Norwood. McNick fell to Tippecanoe Oct. 31 at Fairmont in the district tournament. Head coach Denny Murphy said he was pleased with how the girls played this season. “They played pretty

well,” he said. “It’s hard to argue with a 15-9 record.” He said he wasn’t really sure what to expect from his team this season after graduating seven players from the 2008 team. “We always have high expectations in the program but we were replacing most of the lineup,” he said. “We’re young but they play hard and when you play hard you always have a chance.” The team has six seniors, Annie Wolfer, Anne Kun-

kler, Sarah Rudolph, Lori Bosse, Alli Kirby and Anna Pieper, and Murphy said they did a good job setting the tone for the team during summer workouts. Murphy said the biggest difference in how the team has played at the end of the season is experience. “The kids have learned their positions and know what to do,” he said. “We have talented kids but it’s the experience in their roles that is important.” Postseason success is

nothing new for the Rockets, which seem to cruise at this point of the year every season. Murphy said the key to the program’s success over the past decade has three factors. “We have a really good coaching staff, we play a competitive schedule and we have consistent, dedicated players coming into our program,” he said. McNick was led in 2009 by junior setter Megan Gilene, junior outside hitter Chelsea Rohlfs and sopho-

more middle hitter Stephanie Schmidt. “This team just had an ‘it’ factor,” he said. “It wasn’t always pretty but most games we found a way to win.” Ultimately, for Murphy, the biggest wins weren’t the ones on the court. “What we’re doing is teaching the kids how to work within the framework of a team,” he said. “We’re teaching them life lessons. It’s not just about good volleyball.”

Bethel-Tate Career Day was awesome Kellie Geist Reporter’s Notebook

Career Day at Ebon C. Hill Intermediate School was awesome. I was asked to be a presenter for Career Day. Having never done anything like that before, I was daunted. While daunted is not a word I would typically use, that’s probably the best way to describe how I felt. I don’t think many kids think, “When I grow up, I want to be a reporter.” Doctor? Yes. Lawyer? Of course. Artist? Sometimes. Reporter? Never.

But much to my surprise, the students in my two presentations were very interested in what I do, especially after I reminded them that Superman is a reporter when he’s strolling the world as Clark Kent and that Spiderman, as Peter Parker, is a freelance photographer for The Daily Bugle. Not saying that I have super powers or anything ... Anyway, I talked to the kids about what I do day to day and how the skills I learned in elementary school

apply to my life today. Then came the fun part. While I was a presenter at Career Day, I also covered the event for The Bethel Journal. During each of my two presenter sessions, I asked the kids to help me write the article. I asked for volunteers who would be willing to be interviewed and had the students come up with the questions. That said, I have to give props to the students, because two of the interviews I used in the article were done during those sessions.

Takeover of health care is not reform The United States is home to the best doctors and hospitals in the world. We are blessed to be living in a country on the forefront of cutting-edge, life-saving technology and pharmaceuticals. Unfortunately, the rapid advances in medical care and treatment that we have seen over the past few decades have come with a steep price tag. Ever increasing costs of medical coverage have left many Americans without access to the life-saving treatment many of us take for granted. President Obama is correct when he says the costs associated with our current health care system are unsustainable. Too many Ohio families cannot afford health care coverage and too many Ohio employers are struggling to provide coverage for their employees. As costs for coverage continue to climb, the quality of the coverage we have continues to decline. Having insurance that doesn’t pay much is little comfort to those who rely on coverage when it is needed. There is broad support in Congress for reforms that will increase competition, make coverage more affordable for families and individuals, ensure coverage for pre-existing conditions and allow individuals to retain their health care when changing jobs. Unfortunately, the health care reform bill that Speaker Pelosi will bring to the House floor in the near future will actually increase the cost of health care coverage, mandates a government take over, force people out of

their current coverage and lead to the loss of millions of jobs. Under the speaker’s plan, the federal government would establish minimum coverage requirements for acceptable health Jean plans. Individuals will Schmidt be required to be covIf you choose not Community ered. to obtain coverage or Press guest cannot afford covercolumnist age, you will be penalized 2.5 percent of your Modified Adjusted Gross Income. Employers with a payroll exceeding $250,000 will be required to provide acceptable coverage to all of their employees. Those who choose not to provide coverage or cannot afford to do so, will be penalized 8 percent of their payroll costs. According to the nonpartisan Lewin Group, these provisions will cause 114 million individuals to lose their current health coverage. The Congressional Budget Office has concluded all the changes to our health care system will cost almost $1.3 trillion – at a minimum. To pay these costs, the speaker proposes to impose a surcharge on individuals earning more than $280,000. Unfortunately, of taxpayers who file in the top income brackets, more than half are small businesses filing as individuals. According to the National Association of Manufacturers, 68 per-

cent of manufacturers file as individuals and they have an average payroll of $570,000. Using a formula developed by President Obama’s own economic advisers, these tax increases will lead to the loss of 4.7-million jobs. At a time when our economy is in the throes of a deep recession and Ohio’s unemployment rate has topped 11 percent, we should be working to increase employment and actually lower the costs of health care coverage. This plan does the opposite. In fact, in recent congressional testimony, the director of the Congressional Budget Office said this plan would actually increase the costs of health care as well as increase the federal budget deficit. We can and must do better. I stand ready to work with my Democratic colleagues to improve our health care system. Let’s start over and work in a bipartisan way to accomplish this important goal for the American people. But, let us first agree to some core principles. No one should be forced to accept worse coverage than they already have. No one should be forced to change doctors. Finally, we should all agree that the easiest way to help those who don’t have and desperately need coverage, is to reduce the cost of everyone’s coverage.

In addition, service and commitment are extremely important, but how we serve God and why we serve God are just as important. The story begins in Luke 10:38 where it says, “Now it came to pass, as they went, that He entered into a certain village: And a certain woman named Martha received Him into her house.” So, as Jesus went about His ministry, He comes to the small town of Bethany. And no doubt Martha, a widow, was the mistress of the house. She and her younger sister Mary, as well as her brother Lazarus, lived with her. Consequently, because it was her house, she took care of a large portion of the household duties, which would explain why she was so diligent about her domestic duties. And especially since her special guest was none other than Christ Himself. But let me say that Christ desires to be heard, and not waited upon. And while Mary is remembered for her love for Christ, Martha, unfortunately, is remembered for her impatience and her excessive worry over mundane household matters. Jesus is trying to make a very valid

Ben Hurst Community Press guest columnist

point here with Martha, as spiritual matters always trump physical concerns every time. This is not to say that taking care of the Church and having pot-luck dinners are not important, but it means that there will be times when it is simply more needful to choose spiritual needs over physical duties in

our life. In Luke 10:39, “And she had a sister called Mary, which sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard His Word.” How wonderful that must have been. And notice she gives Jesus her full undivided attention, showing reverence and respect. Luke 10:40, “But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to Him, and said, Lord, doest thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? Bid her therefore that she help me?” Now, should Mary have gotten up from the feet of Jesus where she was getting taught by the Lord God Himself? Or, should Martha have stopped serving and listened to Jesus’ teachings? Folks, we can eat anytime. I want to hear what God has to say. In conclusion: There was nothing

wrong with Martha’s concern for her guests, but she was overly anxious about matters that should have been secondary. She was serving the Lord, but was giving complaining service. And Mary would have been wrong, had she been sitting at the feet of Jesus to get out of serving, but Jesus knew Mary’s heart. Christ knew Martha’s heart, that’s why he did not tell Martha to sit down and listen, nor did He tell Mary to get up and serve. But Christ was better pleased to have Mary in the chapel, than Martha in the kitchen. And Christ wanted Martha to know that her company meant more to Him than her cooking. Lastly, in Luke 10:41-42 Christ tells Martha that she was overly worried about nothing, and He also tells her that “... Mary has chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” Just remember, that our service and works will end with death, but our fellowship with the Lord will not. And if you let the cares of this life distract you from serving God, you will one day wish that you had done as Mary did, and sit at the feet of Jesus. Again, Christ desires to be heard ... He came to serve. Ben Hurst is the pastor at Northside Baptist Church in Bethel.

CH@TROOM Last week’s question

What is the scariest movie you’ve seen? The scariest movie villain? What made them so scary? “Mothra/ Rodan? As a youth it terrified me and I think some others that saw it for the first time as I did in certain parts. “As I became older and saw it again it no longer frightened me at the point in time as the initial viewing.” Frightened Into A Frenzy “I can’t remember the last scariest movie I saw ... maybe ‘Poltergeist’ ... living in today’s society is scarier than I can handle.” Florence “I don’t watch scary movies. The evening news is frightening enough for me.” G.G. “I wouldn’t waste my money on today’s ‘scary,’ i.e. blood, violence, gore, sex, etc. but a long, long time ago I loved what I thought was scary was all the Frankenstein movies. What your imagination can dream up is a lot scarier.” Duke “Scariest? ‘The Exorcist’! The reverse spider walk down the steps scene makes me leave the room. At that point, what’s the use for a priest? Al Gore’s ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ is pretty scary.” T.S. “I would have to say the scariest movie I ever saw was ‘Psycho’ directed by Alfred Hitchcock. It was a 1960 black and white “who done it” thriller. As opposed to today’s blood and guts (make you sick) movies this one really kept you on the edge of your seat. Plus seeing it in the theater added to the suspense. ‘The Exorcist’ was a close second. Most of today’s scary movies are more about special effects and less about acting and directing. Go figure!” T.D.T. “Stephen King’s stories always terrorize me: I am afraid of kids on Big Wheels, corn fields, fog, clowns, proms and Saint Bernards.” K.G. “The scariest movie would be ‘Poltergeist’ and the scariest villain would be Freddie Kruger. The suspense made the movie scary and Freddie’s killing methods made him a real baddie.” B.N. “I saw ‘The Birds’ and ‘Psycho’ when I was about 8. Seeing the birds pick at the women’s head is still gross; in ‘Psycho,’ the shower scene. The second would be ‘My Bloody Valentine.’ The laundromat dryer shot said it all to turn the stomach.” S.B.T. “By far – Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘Psycho.’ The suspense held me, I never knew what would happen next. There is a scene where the door flies open and Anthony Perkins comes running out with knife in hand. I was scarred for life. Let’s just say that to this day, when I am in my mom’s cellar, I keep looking around at all the doors down there expecting someone to pop out. (Now she knows why I always run up the stairs).” C.A.S.

Great Scott diner new to Amelia By John Seney jseney@communitypress.com

More info

Name: Great Scott Diner Address: 106 E. Main St., Amelia Phone: 94-diner (9434637) Hours: Sunday through Thursday 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday and Saturday 8 a.m. to midnight. In the future, plans are to be open 24 hours. E-mail: greatscottdiner@ zoomtown.com Web site: www.greatscottdiner.com Owners: Scott Elsaesser and Laura Krauser

In these tough economic times, a trip back to the 1950s might be just what people are looking for. Owners of the recentlyopened Great Scott Diner in Amelia are hoping moderately-priced food and a classic 1950s look will attract customers. The restaurant is owned by Scott Elsaesser and Laura Krauser, who also operate another Great Scott restaurant at 1020 Ohio Pike in Withamsville. While the original restaurant is more of a casual neighborhood restaurant, the new restaurant emphasizes the diner concept. “We wanted to experiment with the diner concept, and this building

Extensive renovation was required to turn the building into a classic ‘50s style diner, Krauser

said. Some of the retro features include restored classic cars inside and outside, black and white tile floors, vinyl seating and a 1950s Crosley television playing 1950s commercials and cartoons. Krauser said she is not

concerned about opening up a new business in tough economic times. “People still want to go out to eat,” she said. She pointed out that during the Great Depression of the 1930s, diners grew and thrived while everything else was closing. Krauser said the new restaurant has done well in its first week of operation. “It has exceeded our expectations,” she said. And the new restaurant has not hurt business at the original Great Scott, she said. The diner menu features breakfast all day, hamburgers, fries, shakes, malts, floats and gourmet root beer. Krauser said an average meal would run about $8 a person.

The longing that never goes away Admit it or not, there is a spiritual component of our nature. It is a longfor the Father Lou ing transcenGuntzelman dent, for Perspectives God. For a creature, total fulfillment will only be found permanently with its Creator. Strange, but many of us fear our spiritual longing. Why fear it? One reason is because we think it will cost us too much of our humanness and the enjoyment of this life. Paradoxically, it will increase it. We fear, as Francis Thompson feared as he ran from God, “Lest having thee, I might have naught else besides.” We also fear publicly admitting our need for God because of the secular implications that say only the mentally deficient believe in a God. In response to this fear of spirituality, James W. Jones, professor of religion at Rutgers University, says, “The struggle to find meaning by

Our consumer society says our longing is exclusively for this world and this world can completely satisfy. connecting with a universal, cosmic, moral and sacred reality represents not a failure of nerve, the onset of premature senility, or a lapse into neurosis, but is rather a natural part of the unhindered development process. The denial of this quest for the transcendent debilitates and impoverishes our life.” Got that? This doctor of psychology at a prestigious university is telling us it’s quite normal to realize you long for God. You’re not neurotic or senile for doing so, you’re not weird; in fact you’re being true to your nature. It makes your life worse by not doing so. Spirituality is not optional. Certainly we need material possessions to live, and enjoyment to thrive, but we need a spiritual dimension to live fully. It enables us to find purpose and meaning and connects us our source and destiny. It fills out our picture. The fact that longing constantly nips at our heels proves it’s not optional. It’s crucial for general health. “Among all my patients

in the second half of life, that is to say over 35, there has not been one whose problem in the last resort was not that of finding a religious outlook on life,” wrote Carl Jung. Our consumer society tries to contradict that Jungian idea. It says our long-

we enjoy this wonderful world, our longing wants to call us ever onward and up where we belong. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

ing is exclusively for this world and this world can completely satisfy. Ridiculous! A society that tells its people they should live a certain way, if that way is fundamentally in opposition to what people are by nature, produces what Nietzsche termed the “sick animal.” There is a longing down deep where the sparks of our humanity smolder.

The experience of longing is familiar to everyone. Throughout a lifetime we long for myriads of things – a special toy, a friend, popularity, a lover, more money, better sex, a promotion, health and so it goes. Yet no matter what we acquire or achieve the ache of longing is never completely erased. Eventually there’s something or someone else we think we need in order to be happy. Longing is a sign of our incompleteness. We never reach a prolonged time when we hold something in our hands and say, “This is all I ever wanted and all I will ever need.” One of last century’s most prominent Protestant theologians, Jurgen Moltmann, wrote: “Once awakened by specific promises that stretch further than any fulfillment … once we have caught in them a whiff of the future, we remain restless and urgent, seeking and searching beyond all experiences of fulfillment …” St. Augustine told us the same centuries ago, “You have made us for yourself, O God, and our hearts are ever restless until they rest in you.”

Chilly weather outside means chili inside Plus, Rita’s grandson ‘fishes’ for birthday dinner

I had to laugh when grandson Jack requested tilapia from Keegan’s Seafood for his fourth birthday’s dinner. It’s a small shop in Mount Washington owned by Tom Keegan. K e e Rita gan’s a Heikenfeld w a l k i n g encyclopeRita’s kitchen dia for seafood and loves showing the kids all the different varieties to make them more aware about eating healthy. The reason I laughed is when we were growing up, the only seafood we ate was frozen whiting, fried, and fresh bass caught by my Mom and brother, Charlie. I didn’t even know what

tilapia was until I was in my 30s. We need to support independent folks like Tom. So if you have a favorite independent deli/grocer, etc. let me know and I’ll feature them and a signature recipe in an upcoming column. I want to hear from readers across the board: north, south, east and west!

Herb crusted halibut

Any nice white fish will do. When I teach seafood classes, this is a student favorite. Four servings halibut, skinless, 6 to 8 oz. each 1 ⁄2 cup approx. Dijon mustard Salt and pepper 1 ⁄2 cup basil, finely chopped 1 ⁄4 cup each: cilantro, mint, parsley, chives and dill, finely chopped Butter Pat fish dry. Season both sides of fish with salt and pepper and lightly brush both sides with mustard. Combine herbs and place in shallow dish. Press both sides of fish into herb mix-

ture, coating evenly. In a nonstick pan, melt about 2 tablespoons butter and turn heat to medium. Add fish. Cook several minutes on each side, until done. Tips from Rita’s kitchen: Don’t overcook fish. When it flakes easily, it’s done. Seafood 101: Watch my cable TV show with Tom on Union Township TV (Warner 8 and 15) to learn all you need to know about seafood.

Melissa’s Schaiper’s easy chicken chili

There’s a good amount of interest in the chicken chili Good Samaritan serves in their cafeteria. Friend, great cook and Good Sam’s cath lab queen (my given title) Kay Hitzler found out it’s a purchased product.

Kay’s group in the catheter lab held a tailgating lunch and Melissa Schaiper, a colleague of Kay’s, brought a crockpot chicken chili that was a huge hit. Kay said Melissa’s chili is a bit spicier than Good Sam’s. So I would say use a mild salsa.

communitypress.com and at www.abouteating.com

Rita’s lower fat Fiddle Faddle clone

I developed this for the book “Sports Nutrition for Idiots.” Flaxseed is optional and the store-bought version doesn’t contain this. 4 cups popped corn 1 tablespoon flaxseed 1 cup caramel ice cream topping, heated in microwave

Spray crockpot. Add:

1 pound chicken breast 4 cups canned Great Northern beans 12 oz. salsa 1 teaspoon each: cumin and garlic Cook six hours on low. An hour before serving, stir in 4 ounces of pepper jack cheese. Serve with 4 more ounces of cheese. Tips from Rita’s kitchen: If you want, stir in more cumin and garlic after six hours. More chili recipes: In my online column at www.

Mix popcorn and flax. Pour topping over, stirring to coat as well as you can. Pour onto sprayed cookie sheet. Bake in preheated 250degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Makes 4 cups.

Rooting out recipes

Fern’s chili. For Pam Timme. “It was in the Enquirer long ago and I’ve lost it.” I’m wondering if it’s Fern Storer’s recipe. She was the Post food editor for years and a wonderful cook. Red Lobster’s sun-

dried tomato salad dressing. For Dwight. He had no luck calling the company. (They don’t serve it anymore). He also went online, researched recipe books, etc. Mio’s creamy garlic dressing. Spoke with Chris Forbes, owner of the Milford Mio’s. “Can’t divulge it. There’s garlic, sour cream, milk, pepper and sugar in it.” When I asked if there was any vinegar, lemon juice, etc., he said no. If anyone has a creamy garlic recipe similar, please share. Bravo’s strawberry lasagna for Betty Hawley. I’m giving up on this Augusta, Ky., restaurant’s dessert. I’ve made several calls to the owner, who at first thought she might share, but she hasn’t returned my calls. Rita Nader Heikenfeld is Macy’s certified culinary professional and family herbalist, an educator and author. E-mail her at columns@communitypress.com with “Rita’s kitchen” in the subject line.

Community

Grange convention was a good one Howdy folks, Well, it’s been another busy week for the Ole Fisherman and wife. It seems things don’t slow much. I forgot last week to write about a couple folks who passed away. One was Bob Bruine, a wonderful person. His wife retired from the Bethel Building and Loan. They got to do lots of traveling and spent the winters in Florida. This feller will be missed by the community and by us. The other person was Bill Rippey. He was excited about his collection of Ford tractors and he had some beautiful ones. He always displayed them in the antique machinery show at Georgetown. We left last Wednesday for Cleveland to attend the Grange convention. The ride was good. The sun was shining and traffic was not bad. It took us 4.5 hours to make the trip. The truck was loaded. One of our members of Monroe Grange at Nicholsville had made 50 lunch bags for the service

folks across the world. She mentioned this project to the ladies in her church and took it George they on. They Rooks made 100 Ole bags. The are decFisherman bags orated on the front, then have a Christmas ornament, a hand-written note or card and some hard candy in it. With the crafts the Junior Grangers made and the crafts for the adults, clothing and other items the truck inside was full. Then the three boxes of bags were put in the back of the truck. It is always good to have the crafts to take that the Grangers young and older make. The rooms at the convention where these are displayed are usually full. The delegates and deputies are always eager to see how the crafts scored. The Juniors get 16 awards. I will not tell who got what but

each one got something. Ruth Ann took two photographs and one doily. Bonnie took a sled painted with Santa Claus. Linda took scrapbook pages and a Christmas stocking. On the way we saw a field with a herd of buffalo and some big horned cattle. The trees were colored up fine. The Good Lord is the only one to paint a perfect picture. While we were eating at one of the banquets, a lady at our table held up her glass of water and said I have a lima bean in my water. Now that doesn’t happen often, but when everyone got a look, by golly there it was. The waiter took the glass of water and got another for her so everyone looked to see if there was another bean in it, but there was not. The youth have a table in the hall with several items folks have donated for them to raffle. Folks can buy tickets and put them in the bag, whichever item they wish, then the drawing took place at the youth luncheon Sunday. It seems three of our

folks got their name drawn to get items: Mark, Maynard and Linda. They were the lucky ones, then Bonnie had bought a ticket for an afghan, which the deputies association had as a fundraiser, and they drew her name. Congratulations! Ruth Ann and I got home Sunday evening at 6 p.m. Last Monday, the health department was giving the H1N1 shots to the school students. The Bethel Lions Club had 11 Lions members plus two wives, helping with the paperwork. This was a service the Lions Club can do to help and the club is always willing to help. The health department will be at different schools and this is wonderful. The community thanks the health department. Start your week by going to the church of your choice and praise the Good Lord. God Bless All. More Later. George Rooks is a retired park ranger. Rooks served for 28 years with the last five as manager of East Fork State Park.

Safety tips for fall, winter boating from the U.S. Coast Guard

1. Check the weather – The weather in the fall and winter can change dramatically with little or no warning. Always check the local forecast just before going out on the water. A forecast of windy conditions means the water will be rough, even if it doesn’t look

that way at the moment. 2. Prepare a float plan – Leave a description of your boat (including registration number), the number of people on board, the area where you will be boating, and the time you expect to leave and return with a friend or family member. If you are reported missing on the water, it is helpful for rescuers to know what area of the lake you should be in. If your boat has capsized, time is of the essence. A good float plan could mean the difference between life and death. 3. Carry emergency supplies – A

you go overboard into cold water, your core temperature will begin to drop within 10 to 15 minutes. Focus all of your effort into getting out of the water as quickly as possible. Climb onto anything floating to get your body out of the water. If getting out of the water is impossible, remember these survival tips: • Don’t take off your clothes; they trap air and help keep you afloat, in addition to trapping body heat. • Cover your head and keep it above water, if possible. In cold water, about half of your heat loss comes from the head.

radio or cell phone, dry clothes, a flashlight with batteries, food and fresh water, matches in a waterproof bag and flares or a signal kit are all items that should be on board during cold-weather boating. The most important thing is to have a life jacket, or personal flotation device (PFD). If you capsize or fall overboard during the cold-water months, your chances of survival increase dramatically if you are wearing a PFD. 4. Know the facts about hypothermia – Cold water conducts heat out of the body about 25 times faster than air does. If

Post member saves a life Daniel L. Pangallo, a member of Archie Lee Boyce American Legion Post 406, July 20 mourned with relatives while attending the military funeral of an uncle, unaware that minutes later his quick, lifesaving actions would spare another family from grief. During the service, Charles Canter Sr., a 51year member of the Legion, suffered a heart attack while serving in the color guard. Pangallo, who completed CPR training just days before, jumped into action, administering CPR. Canter started breathing; however, he experienced a second heart attack. Pangallo repeated CPR. Soon after, the Bethel-Tate Life Squad appeared on the scene, whisking Canter to the hospital. Post members and the children, their spouses, grandchildren and great-

PROVIDED.

Pangallo performed CPR on Charles Canter Sr. who experienced a heart attack while serving as a member of the color guard at a military funeral. grandchildren gathered at the post Oct. 20 for a surprise award presentation honoring Pangallo. A grateful Canter thanked Pangallo for coming to his aid and proudly introduced him to members of his family. “Danny is our hero. Because of him my fatherin-law is here today,” said daughter-in-law Pam Canter

of Hamersville. “By saving Charlie’s life, he saved the life of the father of Alice, Charlene, Connie and Charles Jr., the brother of Raymond, Paul, Mid and Jim, and the grandfather of 12 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.” She said Charles also lived to see his 78th birthday July 21. Pangallo, a U.S. Army veteran who did tours in

Iraq and Afghanistan, has been a member of Post 406 since 2008. “The members of Archie Lee Boyce American Legion Post 406 hope the Clermont County Officers, Fourth District Office and State Legion Officers consider Pangallo for the Lifesaver of the Year Award,” said Post 406 Commander Dwight “Butch” Loudon.

There is a joke among friends here, “It’s a Phoenix that has risen from the ashes. ”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 1850’s. It’s a brand new home. A bit of an unusual concept for a bed and breakfast. “We reconstructed the home from scratch. This gave us the benefit of designing every amenity possible along the way, ”said Allison Sobieck, owner. Every room is equipped with many amenities you don’t often find in a traditional bed and breakfast, but rather a fine hotel. Every room has a full sized closet with a pair of micro-fiber 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 fireplaces and 3 rooms have whirlpool tubs. We even offer many add on amenities such as massage, dinner, flowers, etc…

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, “It’s fun to experiment with breakfast. It’s the one meal that encompasses all foods. It’s perfectly acceptable to see smoked salmon or a pork cutlet at the breakfast table. ”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 that’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.
