Goshen wages ‘war on neglect’

The Goshen Township trustees unanimously approved the purchase of four dilapidated homes at a special meeting Friday, Aug. 28. The cost is $20,394. “It’s what we’re calling a war on neglect with these older buildings that are caught up in situations where families passed them on for years and no one takes care of them or people have just walked away from them,” said Community and Economic Development Director Lou Ethridge. “Goshen Township has a number of those and more specifically, we have a number of blighted buildings.” FULL STORY, A2

CNE studies grades By John Seney

jseney@communitypress.com

At a recent Clermont Northeastern Local School District Board of Education meeting, parent Shanta Nipper pointed out that a number of other area school districts have adopted a 10-point grading scale. Nipper, of Belfast-Owensville Road, said CNE, with a seven-point grading scale, was at a disadvantage and suggested the board look into a possible switch. “I don’t think it’s fair that it’s not an even playing field,” she said. Superintendent Neil Leist said he has met with administrators to discuss the idea. “It is something we are seriously taking a look at,” Leist said. He said it would be too late Leist to make the switch this year, but it is being studied for the 2010-2011 school year. Under CNE’s present grading scale, 93-100 is considered an “A,” but with the 10-point scale, 90-100 would be an “A.” Under the 10point system, 80 to 89 would be a “B,” 70 to 79 a “C,” 60 to 69 a “D,” and anything below 59 an “F.” The Milford and West Clermont districts recently changed to the 10point grading scale. Matt Earley, the new principal at Clermont Northeastern High School, said every school he has worked at has had a seven-point scale, so he had no experience with the 10-point system. Last year, Earley was principal at Williamsburg High School. He said CNE “is looking at all our options. It’s still in the research stages.” Earley said he didn’t think the grading scale makes that much of a difference with colleges, because colleges ask for a school’s grading scale and take that into consideration. Board President Cindy Huxel said the district is always looking at ways to better evaluate and educate its students. She said the district should take a look at the 10-point system’s pro and cons “and make a decision if it’s something our district will benefit from.” Huxel said the district recently adopted weighted grades for advanced placement and honors classes. Under the policy, a “B” in an advanced class would count the same as an “A” in a regular class.

Once the strips are painted, the Goshen students will cut them into shapes to represent the color wheel. Fifth-grade students Morgan Lyons and Max Harp work on painting shades of blue.

County to use furloughs By Kellie Geist kgeist@communitypress.com

The Clermont County commissioners are looking at ways to balance the county’s budget, and the employees are going to pay some of the price. The Clermont County commissioners Sept. 2 approved guidelines to allow mandatory unpaid days off and one department will start those furloughs this week. The Department of Job and Family Services, which receives a large amount of its funding through state and federal money, will start furloughs Friday, Sept. 11. Rather than allow employees to choose their own furlough days, DJFS Director Tim McCartney opted to close the building for 10 specific days to minimize the impact on their clients and save on building costs. The DJFS office will be closed for the first time Sept. 11. Although other departments aren’t taking furloughs yet, McCartney said his department needed to start saving money immediately. “We took a 20-percent hit in (state and federal) funding already and there could always be more cuts around the corner. We needed to take immediate actions,” McCartney said. “We’re already two months into the fiscal year and every day we wait, that cliff gets a little bigger.” The furloughs will save $400,000 in the DJFS, McCartney

said. The deparment will be closed Sept. 11, Oct. 12, Dec. 24, Dec. 31, Feb. 12, March 12, April 2, April 30, May 28 and June 11. Croswell The commissioners are going to look at how they want to implement furloughs in other departments in the coming weeks, Commissioner Ed Humphrey said. He said some departments could be exempt from furloughs because of bargaining units (sheriff’s office) or 24/7 operations (communications center.) In July, the county had about $27.6 million in general fund operating revenue. Budget Director Sukie Scheetz said that’s about three percent more than of a reduction from last year than they were planning. Last year at this time, Clermont County had about $30.9 million in the general fund. Scheetz said if the county furloughed all non-bargaining unit, non-elected employees paid from the general fund, the county would save about $847,000. This does not include other non-general fund employees. During a work session Wednesday, Sept. 2, the commissioners as well as a number of elected officials and employees in attendance seemed to prefer having five set days off (such as Christmas and New Year’s eves)

and then having each employee take an additional 40 hours whenever they prefer. The commissioners will meet with the department heads in the coming weeks to discuss the options. Regardless of how they choose to furlough employees, Commissioner Scott Croswell said he is opposed to the mandatory unpaid days off without looking at other ways to reduce spending. “The problem with this policy is that it’s too easy. If we implement this, it will become the answer ... But there are cuts that need to be made,” Croswell said. “I think we need a better understanding of our budget before we put this on the back of our employees.” Croswell said the board needed to review a more detailed list of what the county is spending money on and possibly look at employee retirement buyouts or other cuts before considering furloughs. He added, though, that if furloughs were necessary, it should be as uniform as possible. “If we’re going to tell people that they have to loose money, then everybody should be treated fairly,” Croswell said. Humphrey said the furloughs will probably be addressed on a case-by-case basis by department, but that most employees will have to take furlough days. The number of hours or specific days for furloughs has not been determined.

them,” said Community and Economic Development Director Lou Ethridge. “Goshen Township has a number of those and more specifically, we have a number of blighted buildings.” The homes are located at 1877 Main St., 1880 Main St., 1894 Sunnyside Drive, and the corner of George and Wood streets. During the meeting, $52,787 was appropriated from the general fund to the community and economic and development fund to cover the purchase and clean up of the properties. While $20,394 will be used to purchase the properties and pay back taxes, $27,805 will be used for clean up and $4,588 will be used to pay property transfer and title recording costs, said Fiscal Officer Lisa Allen. Ethridge said he had been working with the

properties’ owners for about 18 months and they were more than willing to sell their land to the township. “These folks had been looking for a way to deal with the property for a long time,” he said. “There were some property taxes owed on them and it was money they just didn’t have.” Three of the four homes will be demolished, but Ethridge said the Sunnyside Drive home could be remodeled and sold, with the proceeds returning the cost of the original purchase to the township. “We will generate a resale with a minimal amount of expenditure with the hopes and reality of being able to pay back the township as quickly as possible from the sale of the property,” he said. The trustees also decided to present the properties to

the Goshen CIC. If the CIC decides it does not want the properties, the township will maintain them. “The Goshen CIC will manage the demolition and clean up of the properties as well as the fiscal management of reimbursing the township,” Ethridge said. “This is going to help clean up that area, it can only help and not hurt,” said Trustee T.J. Corcoran. “We have a severe problem we need to address in Goshen Township and this is one step in improving that.” Ethridge said cleaning up the four properties also will help show state agencies that issue grants the township is serious about its clean up effort. “We have an opportunity to go after four pieces of property that have been an eyesore for decades in this community,” he said.

CNE using settlement money By John Seney

jseney@communitypress.com

A settlement in a lawsuit has provided the Clermont Northeastern Local District with $118,000 in extra funds for food service operations and upgrades to the athletic facilities. Chartwells School Dining Services had operated the food services at Clermont Northeastern from 19992004. According to Treasurer Brian Switzer, an on-site supervisor for Chartwells filed fictitious invoices

resulting in overcharging. The school district filed suit against Chartwells in Clermont County Common Pleas Court. A settlement of the lawsuit was reached June 22 in which Chartwells agreed to pay the district $118,000. The board accepted the settlement of the lawsuit at the July 16 meeting. Also July 16, the board approved a request from the food service department for $15,000 of settlement money for purchase of new equipment, including a freezer, salad bar and gas range. Board Member Patty Spencer it was appropriate that food service get some of the money back from the settlement, because the money lost to Chartwells came from food service operations. Board Member Cindy

Huxel said the food service equipment needed to replaced soon, and without the settlement, they money would have to come out of the regular budget. “It was definitely the right decision,” she said. The board Aug. 3 approved using $28,900 from the settlement to upgrade the fencing around the football stadium. Huxel said the poor condition of the fencing made it a safety issue, and it needed to be replaced. She said fundraising efforts by the athletic department would provide matching funds for improvements at the stadium. About $75,000 remains unspent from the settlement. Board members have asked Switzer and Superintendent Neil Leist to look at areas where the money could be put to use.

Giveaway at thrift store The recently opened St. Vincent de Paul thrift store in Goshen Township is planning a giveaway Oct. 3. Tom Callahan, president of the St. Martin District Council which operates the store, said the giveaway will be 9 a.m. to noon in the

building behind the store at 1707 Ohio 28. Callahan said each person will be given a bag that can be filled with one blanket, one coat and other clothes until the bag is full. Donations are needed for the event, Callahan said.

Sunflower heats up weekend in Milford By Kellie Geist kgeist@communitypress.com

For the second year, Sunflowers will be a common sight in historic downtown Milford. The Historic Milford Association, in conjunction with the city of Milford and the University Hospital Foundation and the Davis Phinney Foundation, have organized a weekend of Sunflower events to center around the Sunflower Revolution Bike Ride, which will take place Sunday, Sept. 13. This will be the sixth year for the Sunflower Revolution Ride and the second year the event has been held in Milford. The ride raises awareness of Parkinson’s Disease and money for research and patient care. The weekend will kickoff Friday with Light-Up Milford. The shops in his-

toric downtown Milford will stay open late and there will be musical entertainment. Also, some of the buskers lined-up for the Saturday event will be out early performing on the streets and the city will light up the trees along Main Street for the first time since spring. “The streets won’t be closed that day, but we’ll be doing some pre-partying out along Main Street,” said HMA president Chris Hamm. The foundations sponsoring the Sunflower Revolution Ride will hold a symposium from 8:45 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12, at the Savannah Center, 5533 Chappell Crossing Blvd. in West Chester. Also Saturday, HMA is sponsoring a Sunflower Street Fest, which includes this year’s Buskerfest. The festival will start run noon until 10 p.m. and Main

Street will be closed between Locust and Mill streets. During the street fest, there will be live music from John Ford Coley, Jimi Jameson of Survivor, and Joe Puerto of Ambrosia and performances along the streets from buskers including jugglers, mimes, magicians and others. Event-goers also will be able to check-out booths from vendors and restaurants and refresh with beer and wine. This Sunflower Street Fest was orchestrated to help local businesses capitalize on the visitors in town for the bike ride and give those visitors something to do after the symposium. “We wanted to shift our model from a downtown gala to something more family-friendly and casual. With the economy, it just doesn’t make sense to have a black-tie event,” said

Sherry Owens, director of development for University Hospital Foundation. “This is going to be so much fun.” There also will be a VIP tent for those involved with the bike ride and Parkinson’s research. Hamm said the events throughout the weekend will help the businesses in downtown Milford thrive because it will put “feet on the streets.” “The idea is to get people to stop and see what downtown Milford has to offer,” Hamm said. “Even if they don’t buy anything that day, they’ll know those shops are there for the future.” The weekend will be capped-off with the Sunflower Revolution Bike Rides. Registration for all rides will be from 6:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 13. The 100k will start at 7:30 a.m. and the 40k and 20k

Duke presents safety program to bus drivers

MARY DANNEMILLER/STAFF

Milford Junior High School students Makenzie Doherty, Jenny Thodesen, Teresa VanCauwenbergh, Natalie Brady and Sarah Ely with their made-up word.

Duke Energy, the Ohio Association of Pupil Transportation and Clermont County schools presented a program on safety for school bus drivers Aug. 11 at the Clermont County Fairgrounds in Owensville. During this in-service training for bus drivers in the Ohio Southwest Region, Duke Energy demonstrated the basic elements of safety relating to power lines and poles. Participants learned what to do in the event of a power line-related fire, what happens when animals come into contact with live wires and other emergency-related information.

Following the morning training sessions, Duke Energy line workers put up two utility poles and strung non-energized electric wire from pole to pole in preparation for a demonstration that simulated wires down on a school bus. Drivers received training on how to react in this kind of emergency situation. “Duke Energy is committed to safety and actively pursues opportunities to educate our customers and the public about our business and how to stay safe around our equipment,” said Duke spokesperson Sally Thelen.

Milford students try to get word in dictionary By Mary Dannemiller

mdannemiller@communitypress.com

The next time your child scores a goal or aces a test, don’t be surprised if he or she celebrates by shouting “sockaboo” instead of “hooray.” Sockaboo is a word invented by a group of seventh-graders at Milford Junior High School and is used as an exclamation or in celebration of an achievement. Teresa VanCauwenbergh, Makenzie Doherty, Jenny Thodesen, Sarah Ely and Natalie Brady are now trying to get their made-

up word in the dictionary. “I was just sitting around one day and ‘sockaboo’ popped in my head,” VanCauwenbergh said. “We’re going to get it in the dictionary by trying to get a lot of people to say it around school and get our parents to say it, too.” Andrea Brady, who teaches the group in a newswriting class, said the project started out as a class assignment. “They were learning about words and definitions and how words are created so we decided to try it,” she said. Though they realize it might

take some time, the girls are confident sockaboo will be added to the dictionary. “Hopefully, in a couple of years we can get it in the dictionary,” Ely said. “On the last day of sixthgrade the whole cafeteria was saying it.” Doherty said MJHS students should use the word whenever possible, especially if they are out of town. “It’s a fun word,” she said. “If you say it and people don’t understand, they’ll ask you what it means and start saying it, too.”

CNE, Goshen, Milford look to rebound By Adam Turer

eastsports@communitypress.com

After two weeks of play, Goshen and CNE are still looking for their first victory of 2009. Milford suffered its first loss of the season in Week Two, dropping to 1-1 on the season. At least one of these teams is guaranteed a victory in Week Three, as Goshen and CNE square off at Goshen High School on Friday, Sept. 11.

Clermont Northeastern

The Rockets took a surprising 7-3 halftime lead over favored Western Brown. The Broncos came back in the second half to earn a 24-14 victory. “I thought that was a game we could have won,” CNE head coach Dave Brausch said. The defense played well against a potent Western Brown offense, but missed tackles and opportunities at critical moments. A long pass play on third down gave the Broncos momentum in the third quarter and led to the go-ahead touchdown. Kenny Thompson connected with Aaron Wright on the last play of the first half to give the Rockets the lead at the break. Missed tackles and offensive struggles opened the door for the Broncos to come back in the second half. “It all comes down to blocking and tackling,” Brausch said. “We are not consistent enough.” The Rockets travel to Goshen on Friday, Sept. 11 with their sights set on their first win of the season. Brausch said his offense needs to be able to put together sustained drives and the defense needs to limit the yards allowed on first downs. The close loss to Western Brown, after a 39-0 loss to the Broncos last year, shows that the Rockets are improving, but there is no talk of moral victories in the CNE locker room. “We don’t want to wait until week seven for our first win again this year,” Brausch said.

Conversions on third-and-long and big touchdown plays keyed the rally for the Panthers. “We would play decent defense, then give up a big play,” Warriors head coach Nick Inabnitt said. “We need to be more consistent.” Down big at halftime, the Warriors started to stage a comeback. They drove the length of the field on their first possession of the second half, but failed to score and turned the ball over on downs at the Panthers one yard line. They had a touchdown called back on a penalty on their next possession, but scored later on the same play, a 39-yard pass from Alex Owens to Matt Arnold. Owens added a 68-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. The Panthers, ranked No. 4 in the Division II-VI Coaches’ Poll, had an answer to every Warriors run. “We had momentum going, but they kept making big plays,” said Inabnitt.

Milford

Milford was upset on the road by a much-improved Walnut Hills team. Milford trailed early, took a onepoint halftime lead, then struggled offensively in the second half on their way to a 20-14 defeat. “That was a frustrating loss,” said head coach Pat Fagan. Milford hurt itself with

mental mistakes, miscommunications on play calls, and a slew of penalties. They cut back on turnovers, but wasted opportunities with penalties. Both teams were flagged several times throughout the game. Milford had a 60-yard touchdown run negated by a penalty. “It’s ridiculous how many yards we’re giving up on penalties,” Fagan said. Shawn Taylor tied the game at seven on a touchdown run in the first quarter. After two Walnut Hills field goals, Nathan Termuhlen gave the Eagles their first lead of the game

with a touchdown run before halftime. “It was a game of two completely different halves,” Fagan said. Both defenses clamped down in the second half. Walnut Hills scored the goahead touchdown on a third quarter pass and the defense held Milford scoreless in the second half. “Both offenses drove at will in the first half, but our offense never got on track in the second half,” Fagan said. Milford hopes to get the offense back on track when the Eagles travel to Amelia High School Friday, Sept. 11.

Telting melts cross country paths By Anthony Amorini aamorini@communitypress.com

Limited training didn’t stop Milford sophomore Danielle Telting from clocking one of the fastest times in Cincinnati during the cross country season’s first week. At the Eagles’ first competition of the season, Telting led Milford with a time of 20:15 at Fairfield’s Brian Plasman Memorial Invitational on Saturday, Aug. 29. Behind Telting’s strong performance, Milford fin-

ished the event in fifth place in a field of 19 girls teams. “I was very happy with how we Telting placed,” Milford head coach Matthew Jorden said. “We weren’t sure how this team was going to handle itself after losing so many seniors at the end of last year. “I was pleased with the way the girls stepped up,” Jorden added.

Telting was sidelined with knee problems for most of the summer and wasn’t able to focus on running again until late July. Though only one week into the season, Telting’s time of 20:15 ranked fifth in Cincinnati’s Division I honor roll. Glen Este’s Michelle Thomas has the fastest time of the 2009 season so far at 18:56 followed by Sycamore’s Samantha Siler (19:24), McAuley’s Sarah Pierce (19:50), McAuley’s Danielle Pfeifer (20:14) and Telting.

Thomas finished second at the 2008 Division I State Championships at 17:57 while falling six second short of a state title. Brooklyne Ridder, a 2009 Oak Hills graduate, won the Division I state championship at 17:51.36. Telting ran at the 2008 state championships as a freshman last fall and finished in 27th place with a time of 19:16.17. “(Telting) is really only working on about a month of training at this point. For the first week out, I was

happy with how she ran,” Jorden said. Alongside Telting, four additional girls scored for Milford during its fifth-place finish at Fairfield including senior Kelly Johnson, sophomore Lorin Conti, sophomore Kristen Brady and freshman Laura Fend. “We had two freshmen in the varsity race. (Fend) scored and it was her first 5K ever,” Jorden said. The Eagles host its home meet, the Milford Invitational, at 8 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 19 at Miami Meadows.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Town meeting problems

The article by Rich Jordan was pretty funny. He lambastes Sen. Voinovich and Rep. Schmidt for not conducting public meetings to discuss legislative matters with constituents. He suggests Schmidt will vote as directed by John Boehner. Jordan must think readers recently arrived from a galaxy far, far away. The folks on the town hall circuit seem to be mostly Democrats following party orders to spread the glad tidings of Obamacare. They are trying, unsuccessfully, to explain legislation that exists only in the minds of the Congressional Democratic leadership. Even the president does not have a handle on what

this gargantuan legislation will be. So how are the Democratic foot soldiers going to explain what is and is not in a bill that does not exist? I think Schmidt and Voinovich wisely opted to forgo the political theater which has been embraced by desperate-looking Democrats. Letters, phone calls and e-mails work just fine. And, do you expect us to believe Mr. Driehaus has not been told by Nancy Pelosi how to vote? Jordan joined the shrill chorus of nervous Democrats singing the party song. Only problem is the tune is flat and the words ... well there really aren’t any. Edward Colbert St. Andrews Circle Milford

Reform needed, but not like this Does not Mr. Rich Jordan, in his column published Sept. 2, know that Mr. Driehaus only allowed ticketed people into his town hall meeting and that he refused an invitation to the “taxed enough already” get together Labor Day weekend? And I doubt anyone at Mr. Driehaus’ meeting were conservatives or Republican registered voters, since the tickets were distributed by the Democratic party. And his question to Jean Schmidt as to whether she’s afraid of constituents because of the health care discussion? I think Jean Schmidt has seen the reaction of the majority of citizens all around this country, including right here in the Cincinnati area, that show most common citizens are against the proposals of the Democratically-controlled House of Representatives. Some polls show 68 percent against the proposal. Is Mr. Jordan just sorry he can’t go to a town hall meeting of the Republicans and confront them as the common citizens have at

numerous Democratic reps’ town halls around the country? The Democrats in the House and Senate have demonized the opposition to their proposals as uninformed and worse. They are informed and don’t like what they are reading. That’s the reason they have turned out in big numbers to oppose the Democrats at town hall meetings. The charge that they are organized by conservative/ Republican operatives is absurd. The only signs that I have seen at any of these rallies by the opposition are mostly handmade by the people holding them as opposed to reproduced and handed-out signs of the people, sometimes bused in, by the Democrats trying to convince the opposition this idea is the right way to proceed with healthcare reform. I will not disagree that there needs to be changes made to our health care system, but, the HB 3200 that I have read puts more government into the system than I think anyone wants, except of course the Democrats proposing it

and the president. The statement made by the president that “if you like your doctor, Robert you are going to Dollenmeyer be able to keep Sr. your doctor” is not a true stateCommunity ment and if you Press guest read pages 16 and columnist 17 of the HB 3200 you will see that that statement is not true. Hopefully, the people who do not have health insurance will someday soon be able to afford to cover themselves and their families, but, this bill, as written, will penalize the millions who now have coverage’s through either their own or their employers. And the statement that “illegal” aliens in this country will not be covered under this plan also isn’t true, as the Democrats, with unchallenged majorities in both houses of congress, have plans to make those people “legal.” Robert Dollenmeyer Sr. lives on Red Bud Lane in Milford.

Ozone: A gas with many layers Ozone is very much a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde case. It is simply a gas, with the same scientific make-up at all times. However, its location in the atmosphere causes it to take on different properties. The results are either very helpful or very harmful to health and the environment. The OhioKentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments (OKI) wants the region’s 2 million citizens to know why ozone gas is a concern. First, there is stratospheric ozone. This also could be known as the “good” type of ozone. Found anywhere from six to 30 miles above the Earth’s surface, stratospheric ozone acts as a natural shield, protecting earth from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays. This type of ozone is imperative for life on earth. Unfortunately, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, levels of the stratospheric ozone have been depleted and have caused a variety of problems including an increase in health concerns such as skin cancer and environmental concerns such as crop depletion. With stratospheric ozone, preservation and protection are key, unlike its counterpart.

Although the other type ozone has the exact same chemical makeup, the Mr. Hyde of ozone has a different effect on the environment. This form is known as ground-level ozone. As the name suggests, this it is found in the air closest to the Earth’s surface. Ground-level ozone is one of the main components in smog, a harmful kind of air pollution. Smog is created through chemical reactions when emissions, such as those from vehicles and industry, react with sunlight or heat, making this a major problem during the summer. Smog poses a serious risk to both humans and the environment. Research from the EPA has shown it can decrease the lungs’ working capacity, causing shortness of breath, wheezing, chest pain and coughing. It also can cause eye and nose irritation and reduce the body’s ability to fight infection. Longterm exposure to smog can permanently scar lung tissue and lead to emphysema, bronchitis and asthma. Furthermore, ground-level ozone is harmful to the environment because it damages crops,

trees and other vegetation. Ground-level ozone and smog are monitored throughout the Emily Greater Cincinnati Feldman region. When high levels of Community ozone are expectPress guest ed in the presence columnist of sunlight or high temperatures, a smog alert is issued to warn individuals. Those who have an increased interest also can call 1-800-621-SMOG to sign up for smog alert notification when an alert is issued. There are things everyone can do to protect the region from pollution before a smog alert is issued. OKI outlines many simple changes that can help cut down on the harmful emissions that lead to ground-level ozone and smog. More information and additional tips to reduce air pollution can be found by visiting www.DoYourShare.org or by calling 1-800621-SMOG (7664).

CH@TROOM Last week’s question

What do you think is the enduring legacy of Ted Kennedy? “I will always believe that his birth into a privileged family is the only reason for his rise to prominence. “I also believe that the left will try to whitewash and minimize the terrible tragedy he caused to happen at Chappaquiddick, and they will overlook his expulsion from Harvard for cheating, his alcoholism, his womanizing and his support for abortion, saying that ‘He who is without sin should cast the first stone.’ “They did the same thing after President Clinton was impeached, and the Senate acquitted him. “One-hundred years from now, when passions have subsided, I suspect that Ted will be remembered chiefly for causing the death

of Mary Jo Kopechne, and for getting away with it. “If he had been a conservative, I suspect he would have been treated differently. B.B. “I try not to think of Ted Kennedy!” L.A.D.B. “As the CNN coverage discussed the life of Ted Kennedy in the context of his place within the Camelot Kingdom, and within the context of Ted as an individual within the Kennedy clan, I reflected upon Ted as an individual who served as a great change agent for our country, and someone who had experienced great transformative learning, probably starting with the infamous 1969 Chappaquidick Island event, during which he was participating in the Edgartown Yacht Club regatta, which lasted over several days.

“During this period, there was also a reunion of the ‘Boiler Room Girls,’ six young women who had been key supporters to Robert Kennedy’s 1968 presidential campaign. Kennedy offered to ride Mary Jo Kopechne back to her hotel, but a policeman noticed Kennedy’s big Oldsmobile making a wrong turn out of a cemetery and he slid off of a wooden sided bridge into a tidal pond. Kennedy claimed he swam clear of the car, called out for Mary Jo, swam back under and couldn’t make it physically, so he went many houses away, called his friends and found himself in his own room by 2:30 a.m. “If he would have reported the accident immediately, the police would likely have been able to save her, since they said she was probably breathing air for at least two hours! “This tragedy caused many to turn against Ted. Prior to this

event, he was seen as a rich, selfcentered, alcoholic playboy. After having to deal with the personal responsibility for his part in another person’s death, and the political repercussions for himself and his family, the affect on his immediate family, this tragedy along with losing the 1980 Democratic Presidential bid to Jimmy Carter, seems to have really driven Ted to become the best senator he could become, to become the crusader for the poor, the underprivileged, those of all races and beliefs. “Ted wrote and sponsored a breath-taking amount of legislation and had a wonderful ability to work across the aisle, for the common good, something we try and learn in our own Antioch Leadership and Change Program, yet see so rarely in Congress, where special interests, fear, and animosity prevail. “Ted, like all of us, was a

The award recognizes women who live or work in Clermont County whose personal passion, commitment, service and volunteerism have changed the community. Radabaugh, of Milford, was one of nine finalists for the award named for Orpha Gatch, community activist, patron of the arts and education, and a founder of the League of Women Voters of Clermont County. She was a suffriagist who worked to give women the right to vote. “I was certainly very, very honored and proud to be a part of the nine women selected,” Radabaugh said. Radabaugh first started

Playing hide-and-seek, but not really seeking scary feelings tap on the walls of our minds and bodies as if to say, “You can’t lead a full Father Lou life unless Guntzelman you deal with me Perspectives a n d 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 with a psychologist and work 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

Clermont Co. donates computers Three Clermont County school districts are benefiting from the donation of 130 computers by Clermont County government offices. “We really appreciate the donation from Clermont County,” said Cathy Macdonald with the Clermont Educational Service Center (ESC). “Since the state of Ohio stopped providing funding for schools to purchase computers two years ago, our

students and teachers have fallen technologically behind. This donation from the county will enable the schools to upgrade computers in labs and in the classroom.” “The computers, mostly from Clermont Municipal Court, were replaced by newer models needed to meet the demands of the court system,” said Clermont County Commissioner Ed Humphrey. “We donated the

old computers to the ESC; based on requests. The ESC then selected Williamsburg, Felicity-Franklin and Milford schools as recipients for the computers.” Some of the computers will replace those in schools that are over 10 years old. “Felicity Franklin will use the refurbished computers to update a lab that is currently running on a Windows 95 system,” said Macdonald.

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

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all a piece of pie this week

powdered milk theory is, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plausible for sure when baking in large amounts. The ingredients in this pie are similar but not exactly like Hoosier, chess and vinegar pies. Anyway, I ran into Nick Clooney last year when we were both on Fox 19â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s morning show. Nick said he thought his brother had a recipe similar to McGeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Nick and I lost touch so I never did Gherardi get the recipe in my hot little hands. The recipe Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sharing is so delicious and almost deadon McGeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and as close as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ever going to get to it. Jimmyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pie, on the other hand, was a cinch to get. He is so generous when it comes to sharing recipes so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got his authentic one to share here.

Transparent pie close to McGeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Originally from Martha

1 pie shell 1 stick butter, room temperature (salted or unsalted is OK) 2 cups sugar 1 tablespoon flour 1 tablespoon vanilla 1 â &#x201E;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. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry if it looks curdled. Pour into pie shell. Bake 10 minutes at 400 degrees,

Jane Zeigler, a Batavia resident and fine baker. Now this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the prettiest pie â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the filling isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t real high but is so enticingly sweet and good youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve adapted this slightly from her original recipe.

I guess I should call this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pie Issue.â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been asked by several Kentucky readers to clone Maysvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most famous transparent pie made by McGeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bakery. And a reader on the northern side of the river has been clamoring for J i m m y Gherardiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s l e m o n Rita blueberry pie. Heikenfeld First, Ritaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen the story a b o u t McGeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. I stopped in their bakery last year and got several items including their transparent pie. The recipe is secret so I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell you how I sleuthed information but will tell you my â&#x20AC;&#x153;anonymous sourceâ&#x20AC;? said McGeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uses powdered milk. Now most transparent pies call for cream or milk so I have no idea how true the

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 Gherardiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lemon sour cream blueberry pie

For reader Cathy Grosse who told me sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tried to duplicate â&#x20AC;&#x153;but have only nearly got it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; worth stuffing myself for.â&#x20AC;? Cathy wanted to wish Jimmy well and thinks, like I do, that Jimmy is a wonderful and caring person.

1 cup sugar â &#x201E;4 cup all purpose flour 1 â &#x201E;4 cup cornstarch 1 â &#x201E;2 teaspoon salt 1 â &#x201E;2 cup sour cream 1 â &#x201E;2 cup water 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 6 egg yolks 1 â &#x201E;3 cup fresh or organic bottled lemon juice Whipped cream Fresh or thawed frozen blueberries or blueberry syrup. 1

Place sugar, flour, cornstarch 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 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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?

Chocolate zucchini bread/cake a huge hit

My editor, Lisa Mauch, and her co-workers gave this a two thumbs up. She made this both as cupcakes and in a loaf pan. I salivated just looking at the photos. Like everyone who has made it, Lisa declares this a keeper. This is a good recipe to use those gargantuan zucchini that look like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on steroids.

This August the Clermont County 4-H Dog Drill Team placed first at the Ohio State Fair competition. Members of the team include: Veronica Federle with her Shetland sheep dog, Lucy; Maria Ruwe with her German shepherd, Greta; Theresa Ruwe with her German shepherd, Anika; Anna Vandegrift with her pug, Archie; and Ricky Vandegrift with his golden retriever, Polly. A drill team consists of

four to nine dog and handler teams that construct a five to seven minute routine synchronizing their obedience moves to music. Coaches Janet and Elizabeth Vandegrift guided the team as they created a routine to songs from the musical, “Oklahoma.” This year’s team had a lot to live up to as Clermont County’s Dog Drill Team has remained undefeated since it began in 2005 with a Pirates of the Caribbean theme.

They also created baseball and Star Wars drill teams that won in 2006 and 2008, respectfully. The current members are looking forward to starting the 2010 drill team with tryouts this fall. Contact Janet or Elizabeth at or jzvfodfarms@aol.com for information about requirements and tryouts.

The Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments Board has approved transportation enhancement funding for three projects totaling more than $2 million in Clermont County. “The approval of funding for these projects will impact significantly safety concerns in Clermont County,” said Campbell County Judge Executive and OKI Board President Steve Pendery. The addition of new sidewalk on both sides of Ohio 28 from just west of Meijer Drive to the east limit at Branch Hill-Guinea Pike will complete a roadway widening project that was built in 2006. Construction is expected to begin summer 2010. A streetscape project in Miami Township will be built along Business 28 between Ohio 28 and Cook Road. The improvements for this project include a landscaped architectural gateway element at the west end of the project, along with landscaped medians and decorative street lighting. Construction is expected to begin in summer 2011. Miami Township trustees have been meeting with engineers and urban planners in the hopes of attracting upscale retail businesses and housing. The rehabilitation of the Stonelick Creek Covered Bridge just north of U.S. 50 includes structural repairs, roof replacement, the installation of piers and a wood preservative system. The bridge was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. Construction is expected to begin in late fall 2010.

she was 33 Rooks years old. She had Ole been fightFisherman ing cancer for the last seven years and was so strong in her faith. They had moved to Vanceburg, Kentucky, to be close to her family. The visitation was Sunday evening at the Dickerson funeral home there, so we went over. These kids are special friends to us. The Grange will miss the beautiful smile from this young lady but the Good Lord has another angel. Last Monday I was cleaning the new blackberry bed, and saw a young deer standing close to the bee hives and kept looking back in the woods. Then the mother deer came out. Both deer kept watching me and I didn’t move, so after a while I needed to get the berry patch cleaned, I made a jump so the deer ran into the woods. 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.

Now on Saturday morning we got to go fishing. This was the fifth time for this yea. With Ruth Ann’s hospital stay, work here at home, volunteer shopping for a shut in, and now canning and freezing, it has been a busy year. Now back to the fishing. We had a time finding the fish, but finally got some fine crappie and bluegills. We generally catch some catfish, but not this time. Ruth Ann caught a nice looking bass that was 10-inches long, and when it was put back in the lake it seemed happy. The cats know when the pontoon comes back there will be fish ribs to eat. So they go to the cleaning station and wait for me, one cat we call “Riochet” ate lots of fish ribs. We have a small black kitten that came here, as did the other two cats. The kitten will go with me to get the morning paper, and wants to be petted but is still afraid. In time it will come around. Things change around our house each day. We got a call that a young lady that belonged to the Adams County Grange had passed away. This lady had four children and her husband,

Howdy folks, Last Wednesday, Ruth Ann and I took our friend out for dinner at Staceys Restaurant at Wilmington. This kid is 97 years young and we have been friends for over 50 years. After the meal we went to a nursing home there in Wilmington, to see his younger brother who is 90 years old and not able to walk due to his legs. I have taken these two fellows fishing for several years, Now, the 97 year old has been fishing with me for all the years we have been friends. When we first met we were both farming, and were neighbors. This friendship has been wonderful. We have a V.A.C. Case tractor that needs some attention, so on Friday we decided to put it in the garage. It doesn’t run. So that meant a lot of pushing and pulling, with the truck and lawn mower, then with the help of a come-a-long and the Lord’s help, we made it. Now the tractor has a dry place to stay and when I have time to work on it. I will get it done. The carburetor needs cleaned, the points and condenser need to be replaced, but all of this will come to pass. Friday evening the Monroe Grange at Nicholsville, met and had a carry-in supper, then had a planning meeting for the year, so every one could have a part in the Grange year.

DO YOU WANT TO BE SAVED?

Only one time, in the entire bible, is the question asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What must I do to be saved?â&#x20AC;? (Acts 16:30). In the next verse (Acts 16:31) the question is answered, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt

be saved, and thy house.â&#x20AC;?

Hellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hot Lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Short Deathâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sure Eternityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Long and â&#x20AC;&#x153;There Ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t No Exits In Hell.â&#x20AC;? NO MAN KNOWS, HOW SOON IT IS TOO LATE â&#x20AC;&#x153;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.â&#x20AC;? Exodus 20:7 Any way that you use Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Name, the Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Name, Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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.â&#x20AC;? John 3:16 Acts 2:21 And Romans 10:13 indicate that â&#x20AC;&#x153;whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.â&#x20AC;? In the next verse, Romans 10:14 it says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?â&#x20AC;? Believing precedes calling upon The name of the Lord. Jesus Himself said in John 14:6 â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.â&#x20AC;? God reafďŹ rms this truth in I Timothy 2:5 saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.â&#x20AC;? When someone says â&#x20AC;&#x153;repeat this prayer after me to be savedâ&#x20AC;? it is making people feel like they have to â&#x20AC;&#x153;doâ&#x20AC;? 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 hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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, ďŹ rst, 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, â&#x20AC;&#x153;what must I do to be saved?â&#x20AC;? God answering through Paul said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;praysâ&#x20AC;? to God, without being saved, his prayer goes no higher than the ceiling, and God probably says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;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.â&#x20AC;? You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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, â&#x20AC;&#x153;whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.â&#x20AC;? Again, this passage clearly prescribes believing, not repeating a prayer. In Jon 3:4, Nicodemus asks Jesus, â&#x20AC;&#x153;How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into this motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s womb, and be born?â&#x20AC;? He was asking this in regard to Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; statement in John 3:3, that a man needs to be born again Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; answer in John 3:5 and following is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.â&#x20AC;? Nowhere does Jesus say, pray to be saved, it is always believe. Years ago, I heard Dr. Donald Grey Barnhouse say â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.â&#x20AC;? Ephesians 1:13 says â&#x20AC;&#x153;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.â&#x20AC;? Romans 10:9 tells us â&#x20AC;&#x153;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 (ďŹ rst) unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession (next) is made unto salvation.â&#x20AC;? How many people have gone to hell or are going to hell by putting their trust in the ungodly â&#x20AC;&#x153;pray the sinners prayerâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;repeat this prayer after meâ&#x20AC;?, instead of believing John 3:36: â&#x20AC;&#x153;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.â&#x20AC;? Luke 23:39-43 tells us â&#x20AC;&#x153;And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, if thou be Christ, save thyself and us.â&#x20AC;? 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.â&#x20AC;? 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, â&#x20AC;&#x153;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.â&#x20AC;? You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 ďŹ rst; repeat, ďŹ rst, or anything ďŹ rst, before believing, why did Jesus tell him â&#x20AC;&#x153;today thou shalt be with Me in paradise?â&#x20AC;? OR if there is a need to do for anything to go along with believing believing, why didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Jesus tell him what that was? Jesus doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make mistakes! Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Word is true. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t (really you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t), add to or take away from Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Word, and it be true. Just leave His Word alone, and do what God said, believe, Psalm 119:89â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.â&#x20AC;? Revelations 22:18,19â&#x20AC;? 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.â&#x20AC;? Take your Bible and check the references that we contained hereinâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;nothing added to and nothing taken away; and when you hear â&#x20AC;&#x153;the plan of salvationâ&#x20AC;? from anyone, get your Bible out and see if it is God speaking or â&#x20AC;&#x153;someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;? idea. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see â&#x20AC;&#x153;ten stepsâ&#x20AC;? 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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;one step,â&#x20AC;? believe. Please take it, and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ for your salvation.

St. Columban weighs in at 1,000 pounds Several years ago, the Primetimers, including St. Columban pastor the Rev. Larry Tensi, were in Ireland visiting the St. Columban Sisters. It is here that a beautiful statue of St. Columban graced the lovely convent grounds. Tensi asked the sisters if they knew where St. Columban Church could get a St. Columban statue. Unbeknownst to St. Columban Church in Loveland, Sister Sheila e-mailed all the other sisters in her order to see if anyone knew where a statue could be found. Sister Corona Colleary from New York said she had one in their attic and would love to give it to St. Columban Church if someone could come get it. “... It is in perfect condition, although very

Not pictured, John Gonzales. dusty! St. Columban stands life-size, approximately 5feet-6-inches tall. John, our grounds maintenance supervisor, estimates the weight as around 1,000 pounds,” emailed Sister Corona. Wayne Carrucci, of Gate-

way Distribution, had a route close to the convent in New York and offered to pick up the statue. “I just returned from a small, yet important pilgrimage to see the statue of St. Columban,” said Tensi. “He

arrived in Cincinnati last month (July) and has been patiently waiting for someone from his new home to come and make a pastoral visit. After the ‘viewing’ I have to say that the statute is in very good shape consider-

ing it is 90 years old. Well, at least that old. The sisters are trying to do some research on how old, exactly, the statute might be,” he said. John Hill, of John Hill Construction, constructed a footer so St. Columban could be displayed. The statue arrived Tuesday, Aug. 25. Hill and Carrucci, along with his crew – Brandon Feldhaus, Jeremy Spears, Mike Volske, Greg Atwood and John Gonzales – removed the wooden crate exposing the statue. In unison, the team unpacked the statue and secured it on the footer. St. Columban Parish is appreciative to all those who helped bring St. Columban home. The statue was blessed Saturday, Sept. 5, after the 4:30 Mass.

Bed & Breakfast Feature of the Week

The Doolin House Bed & Breakfast

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.
